Calender keeps showing weather :-(

My stock calender keeps showing the forecast like its a appointment.. I even did a hard reset and it still shows up.. I have installed smooth calender for my home screen so I can remember my appointments.. but the weather is there and its maing me forget about the actual appointments that I do have. Is there something that I'm syncing that's doing it that I don't know about.. I have gmail account synced and facebook.. but with facebook I don't do the calender because I don't use it.. I really don't use gmail calender either.. could it be gmail that's doing it and if so how do I stop it??

Okay, I'm really sorry, but please, pretty please, spell it "calendar"? Yes? (You even have the icon in front of you - it's like a cheat sheet! )

Try to login into your Google account, go to the calendar and on the left side in the Other Calendars click settings.
Then just unsubscribe from weather calendar.

Or, on your phone go to settings in the calendar and deselect the "Weather" calendar.

[Q] AOSP Google calender

Is there any way to use the stock calender with this phone. Samsung changed the calender to make it look better but crippled it's functionality. Having no alert option and having no way to change which calender is default is annoying. I've used a couple of roms that simply removed the samsung calender, but the calender replacements like jorte don't sync with google cal. Am I simply missing something?

Try smooth calender, free in the market.
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!

Does this allow you to change the alert function on the calender from discreet to alert? I'm assuming it syncs with Google calender because it's a widget.

While true, it's worth noting that it doesn't work.

How doesn't it work? It doesn't sync with google or do an alert? I have a job where I'm constantly running around and need to be reminded of things. With the subtle alert, you have to remember to look for the alert, which defeats the purpose. I really appreciate all the input I've received so far? Any other solutions?

I am on bubby's rom and the calendar works great...I don't know what people mean by it not working. I agree with OP, as it irritates me having to change those settings for every event. I do use Calendar Pad from market for my widget and all is good here.

Jorte syncs perfectly. Just choose the google calendar as the default for adding.

The developer of the ROM states as a known bug: "Stock Google calendar force closes"
So this may be an issue with some but not all. Personally, I got constant FCs with the stock calendar supplied with that ROM.

Check out this page for the vibrant. It works the same for the fascinate and its incredibly easy to accomplish.

Thanks for all the input. I know that there are several widgets that will syc wigh gcal, but I would like one that also does the full screen pop up alerts when you have a calender event. The stock calender does that, but I don't think any other calender does.

What about using Tasker and setting a profile to perform a popup alert on a calendar event?

What is Tasker? Is that an app?

Yes. You can find it in the market. It's a paid app but you can download a trial from the developers site. Just do a google.

I'll give it a look. Thanks.

I tried tasker, but I'm realizing that I just hate the samsung calender. They took out took much functionality. It defaults to a calender that doesn't sync with google, you can't auto launch maps or other apps from it. It's just too crippled and I use it a lot for business. I tried bubbles rom, but when I restore data I have no calender at all. Strange.

I think launcher pro has the best widget calender.

I tried bubbly's rom and it doesn't work. I also tried to install the calender myself, but I didn't have better luck than bubbly. It seems that there is something that just keeps it from working. I will look deeper into tasker and see if I can figure something out. I'm curious to find out if anyone has successfully managed to replace the stock calender with aosp and been able to successfully change it to alerts from taskbar notifications. When the time for the alert to happen goes off, the calender force closes.

HTC Calendar

Is it possible to get the htccalendar.apk from somewhere (if anyone has a link please)?
I had the HTC Calendar on Leedroid 3.0.8.2 (had both the Android and HTC Calendars on a previous version of Leedroid). But now I've flashed Redux I don't have the HTC calendar and I miss it because it sync's with more sources than the android one does.
Anyone know where I can get it, please?

You can't use it on an AOSP ROM. From what I remember it relies on com.htc.resources.apk which is absent from AOSP.
I'm sure there are apps on the market that'll do what you want though? (I don't know of any mind, sorry)

Anyone know of a calendar that can sync with facebook as well as gmail?

Sync facebook with your Google Account and then Sync your Google account with your calendar - I have it set up that way and it works on GingerVillain AOSP.

Thanks for asking this question as I'm having the exact issue with Redux (having come from LeeDroid also).
When you say sync Facebook with google - you do this on the facebook website or google website or phone?
Thanks
p.e. I have tried other calendars including pure calendar and I couldnt get this working.
EDIT: Ok I got this working - I went to facebook and clicked on events, then I clicked on birthdays. There is an option to export - so I got the export URL.
I then went to my google calendar on the google website. In the 'other calendar' section I was able to import using this URL.
Back on the phone, I went into the stock calendar, went to menu and selected 'calendars' - I was able to then choose to sync to the friends birthdays calendar in the google account in the menu.
All sorted the calendar widget now displays birthdays again..

I'm not sure about redux but I know on oxygen, in the settings menu of the Facebook app there is an option to sync contacts, and it definitely works

Same for Redux also - I can sync contacts using the Facebook app but it doesnt affect the stock calendar (it just updates my contacts on my phone and changes peoples picture etc if they had updated their profile).

ah man, I totally forgot what this thread was about sorry

You have to sync it on your computer, not on your phone.
How to: Birthdays
How to: Events

is it possible to find the app of the calendar HTC?
for me is the best.
i'm using gingervillain but i don't like the clendar aosp.
thank you

This is what I asked in the OP. It appears that it isn't possible to use the HTC Calendar in non-Sense ROM's. Look at the posts above they explain why. I ;like the HTC Calendar too.

don't know if the OP is still interested, but I use Smooth Calendar, free from the Market on Oxygen.
It syncs with my google calendar etc..

Yeah, I use smooth calendar on my homescreen, I love it, but for an overall view it's not good, say for a month's view. I do like smooth calendar showing me the next 3 or 4 events on the homescreen though.

[Q] Facebook Contacts Sync Won't Work

Hey guys,
I could not find any recent related issue
Basically Contacts sync for facebook is not pulling a single record into my contacts. All other account contacts show up, but facebook's
I already tried turning fb sync on and off, clearing app cache and data, uninstalling, reinstalling... Turning off all other sync services... Clearing data and cache from my contacts... And all of that
This is happening on my nexus 10 as well :\
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks

I noticed fb app was recently updated!
Is this a confirmed bug?

Its a Facebook issue as syncing isn't natively supported in stock android. Unlike HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz which support it as its baked into their phones. I use an app called Contact-sync for Facebook, it fixed all my FB syncing problems.

use a app named haxsync

haxsync is worth the price. Gets nice high res contact pictures and adds events and birthdays into your regular calendar app. perfect.

Get haxsync. It not only syncs contacts it syncs Facebook calendars too. Well worth the dollar or two.

It's between Facebook and Google - they had a hissy fit on who 'owns' the contact data on your phone and until they make up it's never gonna be (officially) fixed

Your question was answered by kzoodroid.
Android Jelly Bean does not support contact syncing with facebook.
Device manufacturers like HTC and Samsung added the facebook contact sync into their own devices.. Because they have a contact app (phonebook) that pulls your contacts status updates and such.
Nexus 4 is LG, so no Facebook Contact Sync.
Sidenote: The Contact Sync & Status Updates work for those contacts that have Google+ Profiles though.
Just open the contact, and swipe over, and you'll see their Google+ Info.

What app did you go with? I've never had any problems with Contact Sync for Facebook.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&hl=en
Also the new 2.0 update of Facebook supposedly was written with native code for Android but it still doesn't sync all my contacts.

Haxsync is still the best option in my opinion, the added functionality plus jellybean works too. Also I emailed the dev with an issue and received a response to resolve it the next day. Can't beat that!!

It's actually there for a reason. I'm not sure if you heard, but since a few months ago Facebook has been syncing your phone contacts with your facebook contacts. Not to add any info to your phone, but to add phone numbers and other information to your facebook contact book. It's really dodgy, and facebook was called out on it for not clearly informing users when they first started doing it. A lot of people still have no idea that their contact's phone numbers/email addresses/etc. are being used by facebook in that way.

Wait, so Facebook 2.0 syncs status updates and such now, and you're just having a problem with a few of your contacts? or did you mean to say that it still doesn't sync?

Facebook sync question...

So I've downloaded the new Facebook native app and I've noticed that in accounts in system settings a Facebook entry is now there. When I click on it I see contact sync as an option. Does anyone know if this will just sync ALL contacts from Facebook or will it just merge Facebook data with any contacts I already have?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I think it just downloads all your Facebook contacts and you can chose to have the visible under phone contacts.
You could try checking in the Facebook app, under settings, if it has the Sync option => Only existing contacts as an option, then it will merge.

Thanks Mate, unfortunately no such option in this facebook app like there is in the iOS one. I don't understand how facebook could miss this huge option in their grand native app release... :-/

download haxsync from the play store, it works waaaaay better than regular fb sync ever did. or use a custom ROM that supports native fb sync. I think modaco ROM has it

It's because Facebook and Google disagree on something and Facebook disabled this option for AOSP roms.
HTC and other manufacturers running Android have this functioning with the Facebook app out of the box.
But as suggested use Haxsync, works great, use it myself. It syncs high quality photos and it has face recognition so it only syncs faces.
