Samsung Moment :: Calendar Only Displays Non-recurring Events Between Small Specific Date Range?
Jul 20, 2010
I'm going to ask a SHORTENED version of my question FIRST because, as I was typing out my thorough explanation below, I realized that I had SEEN A SETTING that I believe fixes my problem but I CANNOT REMEMBER where it is or how to get to it!
In short, the problem I am having is that NON-recurring events (one time appointment) that are in the Google Calendar online are NOT SHOWING in the Moment calendar app.
There was a SETTINGS PAGE...not sure if it was in the main OS menu or the Calendar menu...that gave you the option of choosing to show events "BEFORE" a certain date and to show events "AFTER" a certain date. You repeatedly tap the two "before" or "after" options and the dates would move further back in time and further forward in time respectively. NON-recurring events, obviously, continue to show for years prior or in the future but NON-recurring ONE-time events outside of a "range" of a time period do NOT SHOW. Does ANYONE know what the setting I am referring to and how to get back to it?
If NOT, perhaps my more thorough explanation of my problem and what i am trying to accomplish below might help me find the display before this date/after this date setting that I cannot find again!
Though we are new to Android and the gmail sync, I am very comfortable with the sync process and working with Google Calendar online or on the phone and the settings for forcing a sync, choosing which calendars to display, etc.
I did some troubleshooting of the problem and THIS is what I have figured out...WEIRD!!!...here goes:
It appears that the calendar on the Moment is ONLY showing RECURRING EVENTS...birthdays, anniversaries...ANYTHING where the event is set to recur some time in the future.
The non-recurring events...a random party, a random doctor's appointment does NOT show on the Moment Calendar app!
I prefaced my issue with being comfortable and familiar with the Google calendar operation because I am CERTAIN that the events are in the Google Calendar online. If I change the one-time event to a yearly recurring event and force the phone to sync then WHAM BAM the now RECURRING event shows in the Moment calendar app. REMOVE the recurrence and go back to the one-time doctor appointment, sync, and WHOOSH, disappears again!
The other odd thing is that "old" NON-recurring events that have ALREADY PASSED do seem to continue to show on the Moment calendar app for about a month. In other words, stuff back to about a month from today (today 7/20) DOES SHOW even if non-recurring but anything older than a month does NOT show.
Now I can UNDERSTAND why if you had a doctor's appointment on May 20, 2010, that that even should NOT appear on EITHER your Google Calendar online OR your Moment calendar app for May 20, **2011** because that doesn't make sense. HOWEVER, it DOES make sense and IS IMPORTANT to be able to go back to May 2010 and ask, "what day was that appointment with so-and-so company??" and you scroll back in your calendar to see the name of the company or "In February, 2010, did our son or daughter see the doctor?? and you scroll back a few months to see that your son and not your daughter went.
The Google Calendar online does NOT automatically purge older events...they are ALL VISIBLE online back YEARS AND YEARS. Why is the Moment "purging"/not displaying non-recurring events on the phone that are in a range of about 1 month old to about to happen in a month?

I've been looking for a solution to an unusual problem, my work schedule repeats every 35 days.
When I used a windows device with outlook I could program in my rotation and make each day recur every 35 days. I could then look at my calendar and see on any given day of the year if I was off, or working nights, or days. The Google/Android calendar only offers recurring appointments up to 30 days, and won't sync with my version of outlook.
Does anyone know if the 12/11 update will include a sync option for all Outlook? Anyone know of a calendar app that will allow appointments to recur 35 days later? Is it possible to trick the Google calendar (or Yahoo, or Excite) to repeat at 35 days?

Wondering if anyone knows of an application that can automatically dial a number at a set date and time. I have a meeting to attend, and I need to call my house at a certain time to make sure my kid gets up for school. They ignore the alarm clock, but always wake up when the phone rings. I can't use my phone during the meeting.

Can anyone recommend a good widget that displays the time and date, but not the weather? I've been using Beautiful Widgets, but the weather, in my opinion, isn't very accurate. I have Weatherbug Elite, and I'd like to have something like Beautiful Widgets to display the time.

I just bought a new phone and have started using the stock Android calendar. I put in my work schedule as a recurring series...M,W,Th,F at the same time every week. I am taking a Friday off in a few weeks, so I went to delete that event only and there is NO option to delete just that day. My options are "This & future events" or "All events". I also tried Jorte calendar app at the recommendation of a Verizon employee and it is doing the same thing. There has to be a setting or something I am missing. I should not have to re-input all my data every time I take a day off. My old phone gave me the option to delete "This event only".

I really need the ability to edit/delete one event in a recurring series, and i'm close to figuring out how to do it, but i'm not quite there yet. Sometimes editing a recurring event shows "Change only this event", "Change all events in the series" and "Change this and all future events" options, but other times the only options are "Change all events in the series" and "Change this and all future events". Does anyone know what you have to do to get the "Change only this event" option when editing a recurring event?

I have my gmail, contacts, and calendar syncing with my Google account. Everything seems to be working fine except for the calendar. It's only doing a one-way sync - events from my Google calendar are syncing to my phone but events created on my phone are not syncing to my calendar.
Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere?

Thought it would be best to create a single thread that has a list of all the fixes we have got for the moment so people don't continue to say it is "broken" (note all fixes including using zefs 8.3 kernel and modification of the CL14 OS/modem file): 1) Network Location works great now (it might put you a little away from your "actual" location (by a couple hundred feet maybe) but it still puts you almost were you are really located, and since we use this for "general approximation" of location (gps is the only way to get a reliable location fix) i will say it is working 100% (note this is with gps and wifi turned off. so we know it is actually fixed) 2) Optimization of the kernel allows it to actually use the processing power of the S3C6410 Chipset instead of using generic drivers. this means it is actually meant for the phone and works much faster. 3) Battery meter has been optimized to give 5% reporting levels and adjusted to semi-accurately monitor battery against known calibration curve of the battery (based off of Behold II battery code which uses the same battery). No longer drops you to 15% within 2 hours and turns off most functionality. 4) e911 in pattern lock mode now pulls up a dialer that only allows you to call 911 instead of automatically calling the minute you hit the button 5) reports of pandora/slacker/other streaming programs not having the same stutter starts. 6) keyboard lag has gotta incredibly better.

When setting on a repeating event on the phone, is there a way to set an end date. I want to set-up an appointment that occurs daily for the next 5 days. I know I can do it on-line, but I don't see how to set the number of occurences or the "repeat until" date on the phone.

I have my facebook synced with my calendar, now I came from Web OS and if you would confirm to an event, it would show up in your calender, if you would put maybe/not attending, it wouldn't for those pesky 2 month events that people love to make. Now my problem is that I have it synced, and double checked and I am declined for the events and even have the "hide declined events" checked but yet they are still being displayed.

Anytime I click to add a new event it always defaults to "My Calendar"(phone built in one) as the Calendar it is going to add it too.I have checked my settings and I only have my google calendar checked so it shows all of those events.The "My Calendar" is unchecked too. But it always wants to add it to that one, not google. Any ideas how to change this? Or if not, is there another calendar app you could recommend I use instead of the stock then?This is really annoying that every event I have to change and select Google.I use google calendar for everything, and if I forget once it could cause a lot of problems. Plus, I don't want to think about having to change it manually EVERY EVENT!

I have become very frustrated with my new Moment, but am very ready to accept it as User Error. Help!
1. I have read the owner's manual and it states that when I hook my USB to my computer, it will recognize it (my Macbook Pro does not acknowledge it). Of course I don't see the icon on the notification bar that looks like USB either. I can get my computer to recognize my device via bluetooth, but then it refuses to connect it. Is there a program I can use that will recognize it (ie. like when I hook up my iPod touch via iTunes, it becomes a recognized device in a list, something like that?) I read several threads on here about USB and tried removing, reformatting (which auto mounts it according to user's manual) taking out battery, etc, but no avail.
2. Is there any way to set an alarm to something other than annoying alarm type sounds? I loved on my Instinct I could do any ring tone... I used the Appalarm that lets you pick which app to launch, but found it unreliable. (Set to Pandora, decided to freeze on launch, can't have that for a wake up alarm, don't think work would understand!)
3. Is there a way to have GPS enable for specific program launches (ie. when I use google maps or sprint nav) but not be always on or always off? I used battery widget for management but when I manually turn it off, if I get into a search for a location, I'll have to back out, re-enable it then re-start my search. (I'm spoiled with my Microsoft Live Search... verbal search and turn by turn directions spoken... Super safe when driving).
4. When I want to take a photograph, I'll hold down the button.. about 15 seconds later the camera (maybe) loads. Sometimes it won't load this way so I go into the menu and load the camera that way. Then, when I go to take a picture, it focuses in and out repeatedly, then a camera icon on the upper right corner of the screen gets a little green dot in the circle and it makes a bip bip noise. It won't take the picture if I use the camera button on the top (side) of the phone but it *will* take the picture if I press this camera icon on the screen. Of course this is completely awkward! What gives? There is nothing in the owner's manual about this green dot! It shows a red dot in place of the camera icon for a camcorder recording, but this is totally different.
5. The only references to a folder in my user's manual is how to add a folder to the desktop. Well, now that I have my nice empty folder, I'd like to add, say, all my games to it so I have a games folder.. (is this possible)? I'm not sure how to add anything, I tried add and it just puts stuff on the screen behind it. I'm not sure how to add and modify contents to this.
I feel like I've taken steps backwards with this phone. It has a lot of amazing features (Locale, wow; KeyRing, amazing; ShopSavvy, fun), but the stuff I need the most like calendar, photos, and navigation, are the ones that I seem to have to take the most extra steps with or have issues with. Maybe I should've just gotten the Instinct HD.. laugh. My two year old Instinct I still think was way ahead of its time, and the quality of the camera seems way better, of course the HD will blow it out of the water. I just really love the idea of Android. I just feel like everything takes a lot of extra steps. Where are my shortcuts!!I hope you can help!! Tell me what I'm doing wrong or am I just having a bad experience?

When creating an event on Google Calendar (on the web), the option to add a repeating "range" is available. For example, you can setup an event that repeats weekly. But you can also say that the event should stop at a certain date, therefore creating a range.
I created a repeating an event from Google Calendar on my Droid, however, and the range was not an option, so I had to go to the web version later and set that from there. Did I miss someting or is that option actually not available on the Android version of Google Calendar?

I did a search but cant seem to find an answer. I finally got my work email set up through active sync. Is there a way to get the calendar events to show up on my google calendar? I use calendar pro which I love. I don't know if there is a work around or I am just not knowledgable enough to understand it. A for instance would be that my work email gives me an event or invite...it will show up on the phones calendar but not on my google calendar/events. (my google notification each morning may say "no events scheduled for the day" but phone calendar/calendar pro will show it)

So the large calendar widget that I placed on my home screen used to show dark little tabs in the corner of everyday that I had an event. While I was looking through it, all of the little tabs disappeared and I have no idea what days I have events unless I go into the actual calendar app. Is there any way to keep them there permanently?
