The Reminder app - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello everyone. Does anyone use the reminder application? I use to put my reminders by location type when arriving at a certain location he warned. But I think since the last update last week I no longer work by location. I've tried in several different places. I have already deleted the application data but you are not telling me when I get to the indicated site. Any help or anyone with the same problem? Thank you

I've been using it for when I get to work and it triggers as I park.

yes i also have the same problem,

I've never been able to get location to work on my T-Mobile Galaxy S8.

I just set it up yesterday for the first time and it's not working.

So... I find this interesting. I will set a reminder for home and as I drive past my backyard the reminder triggers (I back onto a berm). When I set a location it accesses google maps so I have home and work designated in Maps so I don't have to keep adding addresses. I really like reminders because I always know where they are and they have a manual clear which I can't find easily in google Reminders.
Edited to add - so you can only use "here", home and work apparently. Definitely not as robust as Google.

Can you guys post that app? It would be very usefull for us, who don't own the s8!
Thanks!

Google Calendar Issue Since Nexus One

I use 3 Google Calendars on my account, personal, work and rota. Since I've had my Nexus One, I notice some of them are not showing on the calendar on my phone, although I see them on the web version.
When I click some of them it shows -
Creator: [email protected] for Work
Most others don't show creator info (probably set before I had a Nexus), just the event time and date... these one's show fine.
Does anyone know what's happening? I rely on them quite a lot, so if things stop working, it's going to make my life more difficult
**EDIT** Okay, literally as I'm typing this and playing with things, they all seem to have come back...
Anyone ever seen this happen?
Also, while I'm here, how do I change the first day of the week to be a Sunday instead of a Monday on the Nexus Calendar?
Thanks for any help...
This is apparaently quite a common issue => search or google calendar sync issue in google and you'll find lots of info on it esp. the Google Calender help forum.
This happened to my nexus and I read somewhere that programs like toggle settings and quick settings seem to cause this (something to do with them taking control over sync settings). So I uninstalled both of them and a couple of hours later I was glad to see the calendar sync was working again!
I did however quite like Toggle settings and wish there was a way I could use it without it messing up the calendar sync function. If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

Google Now, Location History, & Visited Places bug ?

Hello there,
Anyone has problem with Google Now on their Nexus 4 ?
I have a problem, and it's regarding the traffic card.
I'm not able to edit the home and work place from the Google Now menu.
and not only that, a weird place address pop-ed out on the work address option.
i'm not able to remove it from maps->my places.
and worst of all, i don't even know what place is that.
I've cleared all the history from the phone using my desktop and through the phone already.
and one more thing is, how do you remove location history and visited places ?
I've tried removing the location history from my desktop but it still remains in the phone.
The visited place has also the same problem.
I can't find a way to remove them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
David
To turn off location reporting you have to go into settings in maps and disable it under location settings. You can edit home and work cards on your desktop.

Workarounds (OSX 10.8+ and Android)

Hello again,
I've been asking a lot of questions lately regarding my new Note 3, but up until recently have started to notice things that I am not able to do, in regards to syncing and integrating 4.3 with my OSX environment.
So what I like to try and start, is a thread that people can come to (me) and ask questions about how Android can work with the OSX apps similar to how the iPhone and OSX worked. :cyclops:
My first question is; Am I able to get S Planner to sync directly with iCal and have them push information between the two whenever one may get updated away from the home?
Thanks for any advice - and I'm sure there will be many more to come!
Or not.. ?

A quick warning up front: I've not got my Note 3 yet, so I'm not 100% sure this works with S Planner, but this should work assuming it uses the standard Android sync system and some some weird Samsung-only thing.
That said, on my Nexus 7 I'm using Marten Gajda's CalDAV-Sync to sync with iCloud (I assume that's what your Mac's syncing with) and it works fine if you set server caldav.icloud.com, use SSL and use your Apple ID username and password.
He also does CardDAV-Sync which can sync contacts from iCloud (use server contacts.icloud.com instead).
Not connected with the author, just someone who's been using the apps for several months now without problems. I'd link to the Play Store pages but I don't think I'm allowed to link in my first post
Thanks for that info! I did contact the developer regarding his app but was a bit concerned about the app permission and my login details. I've ended up just basically copying my info over to Google and deleted the info off of iCloud. Next is trying to figure out syncing notes to google keep ?

Hello again,
SInce my last post I have switched to a Nexus 5 and have been loving it ever since.
I had to RMA my current Nexus due to dead pixels and have only just come across how difficult it is to do a 'complete' backup of the device. (Similar to an iPhone) and have yet been able to figure it out.
My Nexus isn't rooted and therefore it seems it might be harder to do.
Do any ex-iPhone users have any suggestions on how they do a complete back up of their Android device?

Google Calendar & S Planner resets after reboot

So this is the strangest issue I have ever encountered.
I normally use my Google Calendar for all Notifications, Gmail Sync etc.. S planner normally just runs in the Background without actually doing anything.. And it worked perfectly till I upgraded to 4.4.2 and then suddenly this error started coming up
Whenever I restart my phone its like both these applications completely get reset. S planner becomes the default app for the Calendar and the notifications, sounds, vibrations etc all get automatically turned on.. While all the settings I had in my Google calendar app get completely wiped clean as if it were a fresh install.. All the notification, sounds, vibrations, default reminder time, last viewed and I don't know if I am explaining it right but the week view the appointments/entires get zoomed in rather than zoomed completely out which is what I set it to normally..
So now I have trolled the internet for a solution almost the entire day with no luck whatsoever.. Can anyone give me one? So as to ensure my sanity by days end?
I used an Xposed Module (app ops) to limit all of the permissions of the S Planner and that ensures that no notifications are coming on on the S Planner anymore.. however it is pretty pointless as a solution as my Google calendar is still reseting itself after every reboot..
Delete this post..
I'm just facing the same problem too, can you find a solution for it?
I have this issue too. Have you found a solution for it? Both Google and Samsung calendar notification settings reset upon phone restart.
Also, it seems that kitkat is messing with how my phone, or at least third party apps, write to my SD card. I miss jelly bean already.
Same Issue Here - AT&T Galaxy S4
Exactly the same issue here on my Galaxy S4. Only been happening since the 4.4.2 update. Can't disable the (rather hideous) Samsung calendar app, either... I've taken to changing the notifications from pop-ups to emails for events created on my calendar, so that I at least get the notifications.
Edit: also worth noting is that this is happening after a hard reset (I performed one after installing the OTA update and using it for a few days in hopes that this would be resolved). No dice.
I have the same problem on Note 3, it is annoying as hell..
I have the same issue on Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Does anyone have a solution?
please do a factory reset and see what happened. or remove your google account and add it again

A factory restore did not work for me.
I also have been trying to find a solution to this annoying problem. On Kit kat. Driving my crazy..
If factory doesnt solve it the easiest way is to download your region firmware and flash it through odin.

I tried flashing the firmware again, it still didn't solve the problem! This is driving me crazy =/
i'm almost sure this is due to some kind of "security" inside samsungs implemntation of 4.4.2 because
this applies also if you install for example the new messaging from s5, it will also be replaced with the "old"
version after a reboot. also ad-away does sometimes not work on 4.4.2, as if it doesnt get proper permission
to write to /system, even on a fully rooted device!
maybe it has something to do with the full implementation of SEAndroid, see here:

this is really annoying!
I am getting the same problem and tried emailing Samsung Customer Support and this is their answer...
Your question
I don't like S Planner and would like to use Google Calendar. S Planner cannot be disabled, therefore I turn off its notifications and enable notifications on Google Calendar. Every once in a while, S Planner notifications enables by itself and Google Calendar notifications get disabled. Why is it not letting me choose my calendar app?

I hate customer service responses like this. It's as though they didn't read your question...
I'm still waiting for a solution to this other than flashing another rom or rooting, although I doubt Rogers or Samsung will care.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Any news on that?
Same problem like you guys...
Same problem here. I have an ATT S4. I used to have notifications disabled for Samsung calendar with 4.3. After the OTA update to 4.4, they grayed out that option, just to annoy us in particular. The app cannot be disabled or turned off now. I recently installed the Graviton custom rom and I continue to have double notifications. Because now I have root, I could use some hard measures to stop Samsung calendar. I don't want the calendar system to stop working for the Google app though. Does anyone know a way of removing the Samsung app safely? Will Google calendar continue to work?
I wonder if I should stop buying Samsung.
Has anyone tried wiping their phone and see if the problem persists?

[FIX] Yahoo Mail - Could Not Sign In

Hey all,
I was having issues with my Moto X alerting me that it could not sign in to my Yahoo account. However, when I would go into the app, it would function correctly without me logging back in or taking any action. But, the notifications were annoying as it was happening at least once per day.
Anyway, I played around with the account settings and was able to remedy the issue, or so I believe. The fix is pretty darn easy...
- Go into either the mail app itself or go into system settings, click on the Email account, then account settings
- Click on your email address [email protected] to adjust those preferences
- Scroll all the way down and click on Incoming Settings, under the Server heading it should read: Android.imap.yahoo.com
- Remove the "Android." piece of the phrase, so it should now read: imap.yahoo.com
- Click Done
- Repeat these steps under the Outgoing Settings as well and your issue should be resolved
Let me know if this works for you, or if you continue to have issues, thanks.
Fine, good work's it. I am already done it.. thanks
Unfortunately yahoo has been doing this with android for years and no combination of settings will fix the random sign in errors. It can go weeks or even months between episodes for me.

Android is Google and Gmail......no surprise yahoo might have issues. LOL.

You are right. It really has nothing to do with settings. It's on Yahoo's end not our phones. I ve been getting that sign in error ever since my 1st android phone (Htc hero) so i am used it by now. It comes and goes away.

Interesting. I have always been able to modify the incoming and outgoing settings to remedy the issue. I will let everyone know if this works long term. Thanks for the info.
I am a few days into this correction and have yet to receive any notice from the phone / Yahoo / mail app that I could not be signed into Yahoo. Not waving the flag yet, but for those of you who were having this issue, it may well be a simple and permanent fix.
Hope it works for you, this error happens randomly and intermittently so I just live with it and have transitioned most things to gmail.

Yeah, multiple days into the experiment now and still working as advertised.
After over a month of use, I can now 100% confirm this fix. I have not had any issues since the day I made the change to the settings. So if anyone is still having this issue, please feel free to use the info provided in the first post.
Glad it worked for you, only temporary fix for me. I broke down and installed the Yahoo mail app again. Its gotten much better and does not destroy the battery any more.
