Import .ics file into Android Calendar.

My customers schedule appointments on my website. The scheduling service sends an email with a .ics file attached. If I view this email in Gmail on my desktop I get the option to "Add To Calendar", but when I view it either through the Gmail app or the Email app on my Dream I can't open the attachment or add the event to my calendar. My old Windows Mobile phone let me import it to the phone an then synced with Google Cal over the air, I bought the Android phone because I use a lot of Google apps for my business, but I need to be able to import these .ics appointments or this phone is not worth the upgrade. Can anyone help?

I have a few calendars imported into my Google Calendar on my desktop. First up log into your desktop with your google account and view your calendar. Import all the .ics you want and make sure its all working, they should appear as events.
Once that's done, force a re-sync on your G1 mobile and it should appear on your mobile from there on in. Hope that helps.

RE:
Ya. That's opposite of what I want. I don't want to have to open the mail on my desktop/laptop first. I know if I log onto Gmail via my desktop I can add them to Google Cal easily, but I want to be able to open them on my Dream so I don't HAVE to go to my desktop.

Did you find your answer
I am also struggling with the same thing... emails on my android phone do not display "add to calendar" option...very frustrating

There is somethng called ICS Bot on the Android market supposed to fix this, but I have't got it working yet.

Works for me
USing dell streak
Steves version 2.2

Ics bot doesn't work for me using a Vibrant with Froyo. Receiving an error when importing the ics file. "No events found in calendar data".

Iscer
I've had this issue for awhile, so I decided to write up an app to address it.
It's called "Iscer" and is Free in the market.
Hope it helps,

Just downloaded this. Works like a charm. Thanks a bunch.

Worked for one or two meeting requests, but most of them says no event data... Getting my events from Outlook appointments that I forward as an ICS file. Also, any chance of adding vcs support as well?
Thanks!

Couldn't get it to recognize an ICS sent from a BlackBerry.
Says 'No Events Found'

Hi,
you can try my app Link
i can handle really complex ics files so there should be no problem with you exported calendar.

Hello!
I am also facing the problem of importing ics from sdcard. calendarsync works until the first screen timeout and then it erases all the events for some reason!

I also published an Android App on this topic. It is called Invitation Processor. There is also a free version in the market.
Actually I have done some work on Android 4.0 (ICS) support. Unfortunately I have no real Android 4.0 device, but it works with an emulated Android 4.0.
I would appreciate, if someone with a Galaxy Nexus could give me some feedback.

Thanks for your reply! I think that was easy to fix. I already updated the app in market. Please give this a try.

This should probably go elsewhere but you have no contact details at the market page (http://www.appbrain.com/app/invitation-processor-free/com.marhinri.invitationproc.trial etc), or in app. That is normally enough for me to uninstall and look for another app.
Anyway your fix worked but:
1. It should remember my choice of calendar as default for next time
2. It doesn't handle repeating appointments (creates first occurance).
3. Importing the same appointment twice (accidently) creates a duplicate rather than your app detecting the issue.
Bye,
Dennis

whoa! This actually seems to work!
I downloaded invitation processor on my galaxy nexus. I sent a mtg from my lotus notes client and my outlook client and both worked.
I'll try to do some more testing and let you know if I see any issues, but for at least the simple case I had it worked nicely. Thanks!

Hi, I've been using this for a while now and it works like a dream....but now with the ICS update it's not working at all, it keeps crashing.
Has anyone found a decent replacement for this app, one that will take in google calendar entries from before 2 months ago?
Cheers

Facebook HTC Sync

I recently started over fresh with my rooted evo.
After installing my roms/apps,etc I noticed my contacts were not synced with facebook.
I tried maunally hitting the sync button still nothing.
I tried to delete my facebook profile, clear the cache and log back in. Still wont sync my contacts from facebook.
Anyone having these same issues?
I cant figure out how to fox this.

Apparently it's a server issue and has nothing to do with your rom. I flashed a few roms and back to stock and it still doesn't work. Someone at ppcgeeks called htc to find out the issue and that's what he was told

Diddo! The whole reason I'm searching this forum 2nite is for an answer to this.... please someone provide help... I used simple root to root then did the clockworkmod install....Idk I found a thread that said do simple root then this other 2nd step... as u can tell I'm a noob...I've tried flashing a few roms damage control and some other one nothing gets it sync'd doesn't even show contacts in the live Facebook folder..... tia

Nothing you can do for now. Wait for facebook or htc to fix it.

I don't see how this is an issue with fb or HTC since it was working prior to root. And my contact card is populated with my pic.... guess I will wait n see...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

It's an issue because I have an unrooted evo and it was fine yesterday and I was playing around today and unsynced my facebook and now I haven't been able to get it to sync back all day.
So it's not just the roots

Well, I hope its an issue that can be resolved rather quickly on HTC's end.
Dont know how 1 day everything can be working, then the next we get nothing.
Its not like there was a recent update.

man ive been looking for answer to this also.

I would think It's Facebook then not HTC, I use some of their widgets and live feeds for some of my sites for work and there have been days where none update Facebook is great in many ways but has a lot of faults... glad to know its not cuz I rooted thanx for the update.....

Not to bring back an old thread, but I don't want to start a new thread if the issue is already posted.
I have the same issue (however on the HTC Aria), my Aria is brand new and from the start it didn't work. I flashed the update from HTC's website, the one released September 14th, 2010. (version 1.25.502.12) And it still doesn't work. I recently rooted my phone and it still won't work. My contacts card is partially filled from facebook, just my birthday synced and the picture can be synced, the rest won't sync. I have a friend with a Aria as well and their's works fine however, except with a couple day delay on new friends appearing.
Has it been determined that the cause is either HTC or Facebook?

Where to jump in would be helpful.

Maybe someone can make a mail.apk for Tab users (that have the latest JM6 installed)?

Sorry, been very busy. I started working on the galaxy tab apps, but left it alone and am waiting for Rom Manager before modding the tab. I have, however, been using the European Tab email, which bypasses exchange security. It requires Root Explorer to do it.
*Do the below at your own risk. I am not responsible for your Galaxy Tab should the following do something to your device.*
1. Download the email.apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810454
2. Rename the email.apk and email.odex files to email.bak and emailx.bak and save a copy on your internal card, then delete.
3. Copy the email.apk you downloaded and paste it in systems/app folder.
4. restart.
5. Sign into exchange and you should be good to go. The email does, from time to time, give a connection error, but I have been using it for about a month or so and it is fine.
Today I went back to the original email.apk from my backups (done just as I detailed above) by deleting the email.apk, renaming the email.apk and email.odex properly and placing them in the system/app folder. It worked without a hitch.

Does This change the One month limit One corporate exchange account. One notice that the tmobile version only allows up Forum One month synced But vzw has an option Forum all.
any other threads regarding this?
Thanks!

do you know if this version of email.apk actually displayed exchange emails in full HTML?
I love the app I just can't stand seeing stuff in plain text.
Touchdown is great and its tablet mode is perfect but I would like to just use one email app instead of 2.
Please let me know if there's something i'm missing.
(btw, my work currently uses Active Sync and not 2003, or 2007 so i know its not that)
Cheers

Facebook for HTC Sense Syncing problem

I added a Facebook for HTC Sense account and my contacts seemed to sync fine, except there were a few contacts that didn't link to a profile. When I tried to manually link them, it couldn't find my friend's profile!! I tried deleting the account, deleting the cache, re-adding.... its always the same!
Has anybody had this problem and is there a solution for this?

you can always go to 'application info' and delete the data of all your contacts.
(application list, menu button, manage apps, all, 'search contact storage' , clear data, 'search contact', clear data )
restart phone,
resync with google,
resync with facebook.
If this don't work a reset might be worth thinking about...
I've got the same probleme a few weeks ago,
but I solved it by installing my rom with full clean...
(but removing the data clears that part too...)

Thanks for your reply. What did you mean by the "Search Contact".... I deleted the data from Contact Storage, but didn't know what you meant by the next part.
Also, what ROM were you on before and what ROM are you on now?

By search i mean look in de list, the other are button actions, there is an storage app and the app itself.
I was on a previous version of revolution Rom. Now i am on the 3.2 version, going to test betha4 this weekend.
Let me know if it works?

Still not working lol.. After data reset and clean install of Revolution ROM, same problem, and same contacts aren't able to be found lol
I also tried in Revolution Beta and same issue..

Could it be that, the profile you were looking for got already linked to some other contact? If so then you will not find them.
I think, your FB contact is getting linked to one of the google contact (based on e-mail Address, I believe), and you are trying to link them to phone contact.

It can't be, because I can find others that are already linked. I can find these people fine on the Normal Facebook link, but not the Facebook for Sense link.

Facebook Error - Try single sign-on again

Hi all,
Just setting up my new Note 4 and have come accross this issue.
The error occurs when I go into Settings, accounts, facebook and select Sync with your device. As such I am unable to sync my Calendar information with the S Calendar app.
When trying to perform the sync I receive "Unable to single sign on (SSO) to Facebook at this time" message.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

I am having exactly the same problem. Any help will be very appreciated!

Must be down or something. I'm using a galaxy s5 and it was working fine up till yesterday morning when I started to get this same error. Hmm.

Same problem here. Single sign on won;t work for facebook.
Contacs also keeps crushing the last week.
Lolipop is a real mess...

ALso in kitkat says , but with the next update on facebook this message will be gone

I don't think it's a facebook error. Twitter is also unable to SSO with the galaxy app. I am pretty sure it's a Lolipop bug.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the 5.0 lollipop update considering the update isn't available in my stress yet. When there's a new update about to hit, most phones in general start to do the same or something similar. I also have a Note 4 and my bf has a Note 3. I also work on devices frequently. At this point it will continue to be an issue. If you have the Facebook app then you're fine anyway. Just continue checking for further updates. Remember to shut down your device daily for 30 seconds to 1 minute (it's very similar to a computer).

.+1.Me too having the same problem with Facebook since friday. I'm on kitkat with my canadian N4.. I think thst is the Faceboom servers the problem.

Does twitter work? Cause I have iasues with single sign on and twitter also.

I'm also having the same problem since Thursday or Friday, Verizon note 4.. kk.. no other apps having the problem yet. . Very annoying. . .miss not being able ru sync calendar, and photos. ..

I thought it was just me.
I've only just received my Note 4 (Europe) and have the same problem. In my case it all works fine on my old Note 2 and Note 2014 Tablet but not on the Note 4. All my devices have Kit Kat as well.
I hope someone finds a solution as I want to sync my facebook calendar into the S Planner. At present I am keeping my old Note 2 alive for this purpose.

Is this only on Galaxy Devices
I too have this problem on my new S5. My Note 10.1 2014 is still working fine but SSO on the Galaxy S5 just wont work. I have done a factory Reset and still no success. I spoke with samsung which was a total waste of time. Cant wait for someone to find a solution to this.

fix
I to have the note 4 and I completely unistalled Facebook app and forced stop on calender. Reinstalled Facebook app not opening and went back to calender and added new account clicked on Facebook account then signed in. Hope this helps works great now and Facebook is sync with Google calendar.

Hi -how did you uninstall facebook ? It's part of the standard ROM on my Note 4 so I cannot remove it ? Thanks.

The cause is an outdated Samsung SNS provider. After updating it to the latest version in Galaxy Apps, it will work.
