I've tried a couple of TV guides from the market, and while they do the job. Is there any that can add reminders to the calender?
I've read that UK-TV GUIDE by Luke Shan does this, but I've tried a couple of shows, and done a sync all but they just dont seem to show up in the agenda.
Anyone got any ideas?
It says on it that it has a program reminder, either native or google calendar. I'm going to have a go now and see what it does. I'll get back to you.
Edit: Try opening it, press menu then settings and reminder method, set this to google calendar.
I use record it which does what you're after. The same developer has a free version which doesn't include record requests - but might have calendar entries if you check.

I recently got my HTC HD2 and I tried to add all of my contacts from my old phone and sync them to facebook to get contact photos. While some of the people worked fine and I got the photos and the birthdays, for some I got no information at all.
This is annoying because it is mainly those that I would like to add to my favourites that do not recieve their profile picture or birthday or any information.
I've searched this forum for a similar problem but could only come up with problems with earlier builds. This seems to be a problem for some people running the palm pre as well.
Interestingly if I use the facebook app I also cannot get the profile pictures for these people either.
Is it a privacy settings thing, or am I doing something wrong?
This is the same on my HD2 and my HTC Hero as well.. maybe facebook need to fix something?
Anyone else having this problem?
Yes I had this problem.
Think it is more of a problem with facebook mobile to be honest.
I had this, but then found a solution (for me anyway).
Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.
Hope this helps
ahh you sniped this comment in just before i posted kanesw
yea that works for me too.
I've tried that, when i click on the download button the option just stays greyed out. (the facebook profile option) I can see it trying to find the data but it doesn't work.
I've the same problem with some contacts, you can link it to the fackbook contact but it just won't download any info about them. Works fine for most facebook contacts.

I've tried this but the facebook profile option is greyed out after i click the download button. I can see it trying to get the photo but it doesn't manage it.
You dont have to click the download icon, just leave it for a minute or so and see if it downloads it
I've found the above usually helps and if it doesnt I deleted the contact and remade it and linked it and then it worked.
I've tried everything and I still can't get some of them to work. I also can't get their albums to work or their birthdays, and they don't have a profile picture when using the facebook app either. Must be a problem there somehow.
I've noticed when I go to link a contact to a facebook profile the friend is missing. I have 400+ friends and it only shows me as having 235 friends when it goes to find the contact. I'm not sure if this is something to do with users having privacy settings on facebook and not showing up or what. However I too have several contacts with no link to facebook as they are not listed as facebook contacts thru the HTC facebook link app.
There is a privacy setting in facebook that allows users to stop other apps using their details. I guess its that as i have friends i know are on facebook but dont show up.
Definitely a privacy setting in some cases. I have a couple of friends whose profile pictures never show and I know from talking to them that they're all using the 'don't use my picture in external applications' option.
that sucks man, i have the same problem here. I guess the only way is to convince them to turn that privacy setting off, i absolutely LOVE the fact that our HD2 can grab the info from their facebook pages, it looks so cool
Settings > Privacy Settings > Applications > Settings...
They need to tick Profile picture there and tick anything else you want access to via the HD2.
Also is there any way to actually save the contact pics into outlook. It seems that the pics only stays on he phone and the outlook is not updated after syncing.
cheers
WPY
Yes, if you use the facebook pictures application in spb mobile shell instead of sense, then the facebook picture is saved to outlook as well! Dont know why this does not work in sense, it definately should!!
in HTC Albums I can only see a facebook album from one of my friends which works really good, but that's the only one.. also the intergated updates/events don't seem to work.. thumbnails and birthdays work fine..
I can't even see my own pictures.. while I'm almost sure I've tried every facebook privacy/sharing and aplication setting I could find..
any tips are much appriciated..
I wondered if anyone had tried calltrack app. It basically logs any call, missed call etc to your google calender. I looked for it on the marketplace but it's not available for me. Probably another tmobile thing with not getting access to some market apps...
ANyone tried it and if it's good, got the apk?
Not available to me either, would love an apk for this one...
I've been looking today too but can't find an apk. I'm sure someone here must have tried it...
Likewise I spent quite a while looking for an apk. Does Blapk Market have it I wonder?
I believe we don't see it because Google STILL has not approved the Desire on the market... and yup, I would like this too...
Are google not approving it just to be a pain? This seems ridiculous> Is it a standard thing that gets sorted within a few weeks?
I messaged the developer as I couldn't get the application from the market due to having a Desire - pfffft!
He sent me the apk which I have posted......
CallTrack logs your phone activity to your Google Calendar. You can select the type of calls to log (incoming, outgoing, and missed) and the calendar to log them in. You can also dump your current call log to your calendar.

Working superbly for me. Suggestion: go to your gmail calender and create a seperate calender called desirecalls or something... then in the options in calltrack, select that!
Ah, saw this after getting your PM, thanks for the upload, grabbing now
Thanks
Working very fine on HTC Desire, THANKS!!!
This is great! I created a new calendar on Google called CallTrack. It showed up on my phone after a few minutes and all my calls are now logged to that calendar. That way they don't clog up my main calendar and, I assume but haven't tried yet, won't show up in Outlook after I sync.

Download the new version from market it contains some fixes for froyo.
Solved
Thx for the hint....
Marketplace won´t let me download it for some reason (Maybe because I don´t have a DESIRE).
But finally I found a Download somwhere (uhhhh, took me a lot of time to find it....) in the Net with a newer Version (CallTrack_1.10.apk).
Now it works fine!!! Great Tool !
MfG, DiLo
This is an awesome application. I highly recommend it.
I am using this CallTrack app too on my Galaxy S and created a new calendar call "Phone Calls" to track all the calls. However though it seems like I can see all call logs on my Galaxy S "Phone Call" calendar, I cannot seem to sync them onto my main Google Calendar, i.e. if I login to my Gmail through a PC and open up the calendar, it only shows the "Phone Calls" calendar without any entries. Can anyone confirm if this is normal or is this a bug? If I have to reset the Galaxy S and reload all the apps and settings, will the "Phone Call" calendar still shows the historical entries?

Rename your calendar to PhoneCalls. Avoid any space in your calendar name.

I don't know if this a problem with gmail its self or my phone but gmails keep getting stuck in out box and not sending and when deleting read emails they somehow reappear in my inbox as if I didn't delete them.
Sometimes I can't view all my emails, it says ( 1 ) for example but it won't show it no matter how many times i refresh. I have my gmail account synced with SE sync and I'm really puzzled to why this is happening. Anyone else got the same?
Iv tried doing a master reset twice this week on the phone ( x10i with latest fw r2ba26 rooted ) and this has not helped.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I had the same problems and I found out eventually what has been causing them.
I will try to explain, but keep in mind, my english are not perfect!
So, Gmail works via the Google Cloud, which means that you need to be constantly connected to the internet so that you can get notification and/or send mails. Under Settings>Synchronisation the Gmail should be ticked in order for that to work.
However, if you don't want to use the cloud thing (untick the Gmail option), you can still use Gmail.
But in that case, you need to manually ask Gmail to connect to the internet.
So, after composing a mail and hitting Send, you need to press the Menu button and choose Refresh. That way your mail will be sent.
The same applies when you delete an email. You need to hit Refresh for that too.
Also, after reading an email, you should hit Refresh in order for it to be marked are read.
As for the "unread" mails that don't show up, sometimes they "get stuck" in the cloud and not marked as read, after you have actually opened them.
If you open Gmail on your PC, or on your phone's browser, you will see the mail that hasn't been marked as read.
Hope I helped!
I understand what you are saying, your english is fine The thing is i do have gmail sync turned on within the settings and even if i keep pressing refresh nothing happens about the ones which i delete or have read, makes absolutly no differnce apart from anything i deleted will come up as unread again.
I have just reflashed my phone with SEUS and 'repaired' so we'll see if that helps.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way
While googling your issue, I came across this interesting discussion, take a look!
And to save you a little time from reading, someone said that this solved the problem:
I was final able to fix this by doing the following:
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>
Then scroll down to 'Gmail' and select it
Then select 'Clear Data'
When you next open Gmail it will re-sync your mail. It cleared up my problem. This wipes out all of your Gmail settings, so you will need to set up your ringtone and notification options if you had made any customizations.

i have this build since 1 month now, and i love it!
but now i want to change the google-accounts (the new account is from my domain using google apps)
i googled around a little but, but didn't found a solution
is there any way to get into a "first boot"-state, so i can set my new google-account?
another question is: is there any way to merge apps between 2 google-accounts. afaik the apps from the market are bound to the account.
hopefully my english skills were good enough to describe my problem.
greetings
havox
is there anything missing in my description to solve my problem?
or is it impossible with CM7?
How about:
Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Add Account ?

Hi,
Have you tried :Settings>accounts and sync>google>remove account?
Or apps>setup?
ok - thanks for the answers
but it's not working :/
i tried the "remove account" in account and sync, but there is a message that i have to set back the phone to factory setting. (under point "privacy")
but this doesn't work. i can push the button "delete everything" - but nothing happens ...
@malybru: what do you mean with "apps>setup". i suppose i found it, but what i have to do there? there are listed all apps, right?

Hi,
It may just be on my ROM,but I've got an app called "setup".
I suppose it's the one that runs when you first run a ROM ,and you can install your google details and wi-fi etc.
I realize this thread is nearly 1 year old, but I'd like to add something here that I know works.
I had to merge my two gmail accounts and by chance, I found that this approach worked.
Go to settings and apps for Google Play, clear the cache, force stop and uninstall updates. Go back into Google Play. You'll have to click on Accept on their T&C, then click on Menu to see accounts... select the account the app is in that you want to move to the other account. Uninstall it. Menu, Select 2nd account you want to move app to, then install.
If you don't want to lose the cached data, well, guess you're out of luck. The above was the only way I was able to move over my apps from one gmail to another gmail account.
1- when I make a calendar appointment it defaults to my work Microsoft Exchange calendar as opposed to my gmail calendar.
How do I make my gmail the default calendar?
2- I use swype but lately it seems to be gltiched.
Lets say I have swyped the word hello and then pressed SEND in the chat program (Whats app).
Instead of the suggestion box clearing, it'll show me all possible suggestions for the word hello. Like Heli, Jello, Help and so on.
The problem is the other person i am chatting with sees me as "typing...." and waits for me to finish talking to respond. Whereas I have finished but this gltich is fooling the system. I wanted to clear the cache or something but couldn't (maybe because it is a system app?).
3- I use Dolphin Browser Mini. Most of the time when I long pause on a link (to get the menu to open - open in background - bookmark link - save link), I won't get this pop up menu. Instead I will get the smaller menu (select text - gesture - fullscreen - close tab). Even though I am positive I am long pressing on a link not on a blank space on a webpage.
Thanks guys!
Well i can only help you on the first point but give you some info in the others:
When you make a calendar appointment in s-planner the first box (above title) is to change where you want it to be synced. Justo choose the one you need.
In swype or other introduction method you have the option to let it give you hints, disable them but you mustn't make an erro in your typing/swyping. I don't use swype so it's just an idea...
I tried dolphin browser and deleted the app just because of it, still using stock browser on my note.
Hope it helped or gave you some ideas

In regards to te calendar, yes I realize that I can change it at the time of creating an entry but it defaults to MS Exchange. I want to change default to gmail as I use that 99% of the time.
I don't want to turn of swype suggestions because they are useful. I need to know how to re-install or clear the data in swype because its not working properly.
Can you go to your phone settings>applications>manage applications and go to the exchange app and select "clear defaults"?

I changed only once???????
Regarding swype, go the definitions of text input and click on the mini widget and define your language and other stuff,clear your dictionary, reboot note.
As of gmail being standard: definitions --- accounts and sync --- open you preferred email account--- defintitions----again choose preferred account--- check the box "preferred mail account" (or similiar, it's the second box). At the end of the page mark sync. agenda and task......
back to homescreen and try it out. Sync your e-mail accounts first..

So, if you are not trying solutions, why ask for help?
clear defaults will do no harm, the system will only ask the next time it calls a function/program for you to choose the action to take, and will let you choose the default again.

The swype thing didnt work.
And I can't follow your steps for the gmail issue. When I go to Accounts & Sync I see all my emails there. There is no "definitions" option nor s there "preferred mail account". I don't see these items.

Because you seemed unsure. It was like "hey try this, it may work, or it may not".
Now it seems clearer after you explained that it will ask me to take an action the next time i run the app. Thanks.
