View 1 RepliesIs there a better calendar app or an add on to improve the standard app? I am looking for a away to improve the alerts for upcomng meetings and events. Right now I can only send myself an email or sms, how do i get calendar to tap into the alarm functions on the phone?
View 11 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post and also my first android phone. I was wondering if anyone knows of a better calendar than the stock HTC one that comes on the incredible. The stock calendar only allows for one alert/reminder. I would like something that is simple and easy to use, but allows for more than one alert/reminder.

I haven't changed anything on the phone and today it didn't alert me for two different appointments? Has this happened to you? Also, is there any way to set the time of alert different from the standard 5 minutes before appointment?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have my Incredible set up to synchronize with my work's exchange server. I have a ton of meetings, and I rely upon the phone's 10-minute reminder to play an alert sound before each meeting. This is very handy. What I don't like is that there is no way to set the frequency (i.e., the repeat) for the audible calendar event reminders. It seems like they will just keep going off forever every 5 or 10 minutes, even after the meeting has started, until I hunt my phone down, turn it on, slide the screen lock down, slide the notification area down, select the reminder, and select "Dismiss". And then when my next meeting comes up again, same issue. It was driving me crazy, to the point that I simply turned off the reminder notifications entirely. Is there any way I can tell this phone, "When there is a meeting in ten minutes, please play exactly 3 audible reminder alerts: 10 minutes before, 5 minutes before, and when the meeting time has started.

On my Moment I was able to create folders (ringtones, alerts, notifications, etc) on my SD card, but I was not sure if this will work on the Epic as well.

View 1 Replies View Relatedit looks like its an Android bug, but my alarm & my calendar alerts are not working correctly, as well as CalWidget. My Google Cal & the Cal on the phone are correct. I had to reboot to get the time updated to what it should be today.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had my Hero just over a month now and yesterday for the first time i received a facebook notification on my Hero. Since i have had my phone I've never seen this. I normally get a notification telling me that i have a new email which sometimes is an email from facebook telling me i have a new invite or what ever. But this notification was a facebook specific one, it had an icon of an 'F' (of Facebook). Does anyone know what option needs to be turned on so that you get Facebook notifications on your Hero? I obviously switched something on which is no longer running cause im no longer getting this notifications.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone else find it annoying when your in a meeting or lecture or church and someone tries to turn down the volume on their phone, only to have the phone beep with every change in volume? Is there any way to turn off this volume response when using the volume controls on the side of the Sprint Hero? Likewise, any way to turn off the sound when turning the phone on/off?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have the HTC Hero from Sprint. I am running the stock ROM from Sprint with the update that was released in Nov. Scenario:
Person X is in my contact list
I want sound file Y to play when I get a phone call from X
I want sound file Z to play when I get a text from X
(Note: For clarification Y and Z are not the same file. The sound file Z should be different depending on the person also. In other words can I set costume text alerts per person).
When you look at the contact in 'people' there is a setting for 'ring tone' I am not sure if this is just for incoming calls or if this is also for incoming texts from this person.
The events I am scheduling on my Hero are not syncing to my Outlook calender.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have my hero using built in calendar app.I have a google calendar and a Exchange calendar, I also have My calendar, not sure what that is. I would like to have all the calendars sync using the phone as the main source. So for example if I create a meeting on my phone it also shows on my exchange calendar and my google calendar. At the moment I have to add a calendar entry under the calendar I want the entry to show up on.So If I add an entry to my exchange calendar it doesn't show in google calendar. Can anyone suggest a sync method, without using PC, just phone.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having problems syncing my hero calender with google calender! I have seen a post on here where someone has deleted account details from phone - as I believe i have 2 accounts on my phone. Does anyone know how to delete acc data ( i think it clears all apps as well) When i first got my hero i already had a gmail acc but the phone made me set up a new one - I think this is part of the problem, thats why i want to delete all accs and start again
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter struggling with multiple entries from some botched sync jobs from Google Calendar and Gmail Contacts, I'm at the point where I want to delete all entries in the calendar on my HTC Hero and start a fresh sync from Google Calendar.Is there any way (besides factory reset) to do this?My problem is, if anyone has the fix for that, that even if I delete all events on my Google Calendar, after sync the entries are still on my Hero...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a new Droid Eris user and have been using Google Calendar for some time.I have a single calendar set up which is syncing with the Eris.I can successfully add/edit/delete entries from both applications and have them show up just fine on the other side.I have a couple of recurring entries that I've since deleted in Google Calendar but are still showing up on my Eris.The unique thing about both of these entries is that they were meeting requests sent to my Gmail address and accepted from there.They have since been cancelled from the original sender and are now removed from my Google Calendar.My calendar entries are labeled as dark blue, and these two show as light blue.I cannot select them on the Eris to edit or delete them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe Hero har several different "calenders" onboard. Mine has:
"My Calender" - This is the phone's calender
"XX.XX@gmail.com" - Gmail calender off course
"Norwegian Holidays" - Nice to have calender
"Week Numbers" - Nice to have calender
"Outlook" - For syncing ti Outlook
Now, my problem(s) is(are) as follows:
1. Using HTC Sync only syncs the "Outlook" calender on the phone. (And contacts)
2. Syncing with Gmail, only syncs "XX.XX@gmail.com" (and Gmail contacs)
3. Leaving the "My Calender" which I prefer to use, goes un-backed-up..............
It's driving me mad! I want ONE place for all my calender issues and contact sync.
A) How do I sync "My Calender" to Google or Outlook?
B) How do I change all my "My Calender" items to Gmail?
C) How do you have "unified synchronization and backup" of your Hero?
I use the smaller of the 2 options for the HTC calender widget. Is there a way to set it so when I touch either part of the widget the Agenda shows up rather than the calendar or the specific appointment?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't get this.Any time there is an "All -Day" event, for some reason my widget AND calendar shows it one day early.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI sync my HTC Hero with Outlook, but I can't get any reminders for any appointments. All events in Outlook have a 15 minute reminder and this also seems to be the case when viewing event details on the Hero, but alas! no reminders
My settings:
Calendar->Menu->Settings->Reminders->Reminder display : Show as alert (also tried "Show in notification bar")
Calendar->Menu->Settings->Reminders->All Calendars : checked
If I uncheck "All calendars" and chose Outlook in the "Apply settings to" it doesn't save my choice. The next time I go to the settings it has reverted back to "My Calendar".
We have a lot of all-day events in our Google Calendar, which we want a *visual* reminder of.. but have no desire to be woken in the middle of the night by an *audible* alarm reminder.
I must be missing something so simple - but how do we turn the Calendar alarm off for these, or at least prevent it from sounding in the hours of darkness?
How do I export everything from the Calendar app on the Hero? I am having the usual horrendous problems syncing with Google Calendar and suddenly all entries on my gCal have vanished. But they are all still on
the hero, so I want to back them up ASAP before anything else happens.
Is there a calendar app that is better than the HTC calendar? I've read that the HTC one is pretty bad. I only use google calendar right now so something that would sync with that would be perfect. I really want something that has a week view also.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIve had my hero a while now, but just tried using gmail and calender and sync it with the phone. Well,i get calender changes made on pc to show on my hero, but not vice versa. Whats the best way to sort my problem.?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Google calendar every day. If I update on my PC it is on my phone almost instantaneously if I amend that appointment on my Hero it will not sync to the PC over 3G. (I amend, update on the move during my day out and about) The only way to sync is to return to the PC and connect my phone to home wifi and force a sync. (untick calendar in "Application sync settings" the re-tick) My Googlemail and contacts sync fine, 3G and wifi.
