i have a word doc that i have attached to my meeting next week (outlook). Is there any way i can make it appear attached, on my calendar, on my phone?
no one knows how to get an attachment to show up in the calendar?
I don't know about an attachement but if you enter this exactly as shown, then put a space after it you can create a link to a document
file:\\Storage%20Card\directory\file
It will expand out, reversing the slashes and adding the extra one needed, like this after you add the space at the end
file:///Storage%20Card/directory/file
Then you can select it with your stylus to open the file it is linked to. You can do this in both Contacts and Calendar

Hello,
I try to find the answear to that question but i failed, probably is because i dont speak chinese
How can i import the footprints that i have exported from the htc footprints to a file .kmz to a google maps MAP, and show the photo in the footprint?
when i tri to do that, the photo doesnt appear...
Your Help will be appreciated...
----------------------------
I put that question to HTC:
Hello, When i try to import footprints to google maps in my pc (to my map), the photo doesnt appear. Please tell me how can i do that in order to solve that problem. the steps: 1. i export the footprint to the memory card 2. i put the file in my computer 3. i goto google maps and goto my maps, and after i do "edit" and i do "import" and i import the footprint file that was in my pc. 4. after that the point of interest appears in the map, but the phot doenst appear. When i use the mouse (right click) in the photo, the properties show the link to the "image file".......
and the answer:
Regarding your request, if you are trying to link a photo to Google maps on the handset,kindly confirm that you've followed the information below:
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Photos & Videos tab and then tap Albums.
2. Tap the photo of the location that you want.
3. While viewing the photo in full screen, tap the screen to display onscreen controls.
4. Tap Menu > Save as Footprints.
5. Drag and move the photo to center a small part of the photo on the crop box.
6. Tap Done to crop the selected part of the photo and save it as a new footprint.
7. The Edit screen then opens and lets you add location information to the footprint.
If you are trying to link the photo to Google maps on a PC, kindly contact Google to find if this is possible, as this feature is supported on the handset not on the PC.
i might be wrong but i do not think you can host images directly on google maps.but you cas store your kmz files or images elsewhwre and point it on it.something like sites.google.com, flickr etc..
but than again.i can be wrong.i have tried a few things after you posted your question just because i wanted to know more about this.maybe you want to check this out http://www.northgates.ca/kmlEditor/.it is free and cool editor for kml and kmz files.
anyway.i am still looking at it.if i will find something i will let you know.

more information about footprints
Thank you for your interest.
After that i install google earth in my pc and with google earth, aftetr import the kmz file, the footprints appear with the photo...
Probably because the google earth is a local program and the footprints file is local too.
Wath i want is the same but with google maps in my map...
It is very strange HTC d'ont say noting about it, because the most beautiful feature for footprints is going to a personal map and put all the footprints in the map with photos...
If you know more about it, please wirte it to all the peeple.
if there is any solution to this that would be great, otherwise footprint will be kinda useless..
I need to backup all my footprints but I cannot use the standard backup procedure since I have no access the the Footprints tab on Sense, my Sense have crashed and don't start any more.. Before I replace it with a new rom, I'd like to save my Footprints but how?
I installed the kml editor. Besides getting a virus warning it can't open the kmz created by footprints.
In Google Earth (!) (G.E.) I linked to my public dropbox folder in wich I stored the ***.kmz file (the export file from Footprints from my HTC). in G.E. under 'my places' rightclick 'Add' and 'networklink' after wich you copy and paste your URL. So, not to a local file, but an URL on the Internet. Works OK, so photos are displayed on proper locations on Google Earth. Still no way found tot display them in Google Maps. Stupid thing Footprints does not have a proper sulution for this.
Fine thing is, you can use the 'time' dawbar in G.E. tot filter your footprints, or even have them played 'through time'.

just out of curiosity since i can't find an option.
Is there any possible way to enable the facebook sync but NOT use the facebook pictures and/or last names
It seems that once it syncs theres no possible way to change it since everytime i change a picture or a last name it just gets added right back on.
but i do like seeing the status updates and having the quick link to the profiles, i just hate the other stuff it does
it'd be nice if the facebook sync just added info to the standard gmail contact card and not "sync it with another account"..i wish it would allow you to delete facebook phone numbers and save email addresses from facebook to the gmail contact card and save contact pics and names easily..this feature needs a lot of work imo...
yeah. well judging from the no yes answers i'm just going to assume that this is impossible
For pictures, YES it's possible and easy to do!
Background:
I have my Gmail contacts with pictures I customized for each contact.
Contacts with Facebook have their own pictures and get automatically chosen as the default picture if Facebook Sync is enabled.
Here's how to fix it.
1. Launch CONTACTS and select the contact that has the facebook picture.
2. Press MENU, then EDIT CONTACT.
3. You will notice that the contact picture that is NOW SHOWN is the original gmail contact picture!
4. TAP on the picture, and choose "USE THIS PHOTO".
5. Tap DONE, now your gmail contact picture is the default picture!
You have to do this to all your Facebook contact pictures that you don't want.

Hi guys!
Added many calendar entries and then realized that you have added it to the local calendar? Android syncs only the calendar which is connected with your Google Account. So if you want to transfer all entries from local calendar to the Google calendar, you have come to the right place
To achieve this, kindly follow these steps and you will be good to go:good: :-
1. Download this app on your phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
2. Open it and go to Calendars Backup--->Backup
3. Chose the file name and start the backup.
4. Then transfer the backup file to your pc. It will be in /sdcard/SmsContactsBackup/calendars
5. Open up the backup file on your pc. I'd highly recommend you to use Notepad++ for this. You will see multiple <Calendar entries at the top of the file. Look for the entry which has this attribute:- account_type="LOCAL"
Note down the _id attribute for this <Calendar entry.
6. Now look for <Calendar entry which has name="[email protected]" attribute and note down the _id attribute. Here xyz is your gmail username.
7. Now open Find & Replace and replace this -
Code:
calendar_id="1"
with
Code:
calendar_id="2"
Here, 1 is the _id for LOCAL <Calendar entry and 2 is the id for your Google Calendar (in my case). It could be different for you. So basically whichever calendar entry is set as local, will be converted to the google calendar's entry so that it can be synced
8. Now transfer the modified file back to /sdcard/SmsContactsBackup/calendars
9. Now open Superbackup--->Calendars and click on Delete all calendars.
10. Then restore the modified backup and re-sync your phone with the google calendar. All your local entries will now appear as google calendar entries and will get synced properly to your account.
Enjoy

I have been looking for something like this for several days now. I haven't tried it yet but I will soon and I can't wait. Thank you for sharing.

Glad to hear that at least someone found it useful.
Sent from my Xperia S using Tapatalk
Yeah this is very useful. I know most people only use the Google Calendar and don't ever worry about this but for the people that don't know the difference and then try to switch devices this is good to know. Great find!
Great thanks, that's exactly what I was searching for !!
You saved me 2hours of re-entering many bithdays and garbage-colection-days
Entries disappear when syncing.
Hello. I tried this one for my dad's Xperia S. All went well up until I tried to sync it with his google account. After it finishes syncing, all the calendar entries just disappear. Help please?
Hello, I tried this method and everything looks like it is working, when I restore the modified backup it says it is updating 601 entries to the calendar, which is about right - but I am still not seeing them on the calendar.
Do most phones not have a method of exporting local calendars which can then be imported to Google Calendars or other calendars?
Easier way to do it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applisto.copyevents.pro
This allows to periodically move events from one calendar to another and, when using it for the first time allows to specify which time frame has to be considered (into the past and into the future).
Copy: events copied from 1 calendar to the other.
Mirror: tracking changes
Move: original event is removed, only left in target calendar.
It is powerful, be careful to read explanations and features.

I was unable to get this guide to work at all. However, another suggestion here worked well. The basic idea is to export an existing calendar as an ICS file and then import it to Google (or wherever) using a desktop computer web browser. The free program referenced in that post worked for me. I was able to export a single calendar as an ICS without issue. However, I couldn't use the suggested program to import a calendar; I had to use the Google Calendar website instead.
you can migrate the events you've already entered on the Phone's calendar (to which you've been adding events with the Samsung Calendar App) into Google Calendar for free using a tool such as Calendar Sync Trial. Open the app and go to "Export" to create an ics (iCal) file containing the phone's calendar events, then import that file into a Google Calendar using a browser, or the same app. You can get Calendar Sync Trial from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icalparse.free

Thanks,

I like it so far ... except for the ads
Some things I would like ...
a) an option to lock labels so that they cannot be viewed without a pin/password/pattern
b) an option to delete in-built labels or to rename them (I do not want labels such as personal, ideas)
c) an "all notes" view where in all the notes are visible on the opening screen (except those falling under "locked labels" mentioned in (a) above),
I look forward to the option to sync with Google Drive and .... if possible sync with Google Keep (can be synced with keep so that we can even update notes through the PC?).
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll implement these for the upcoming release.
once again thanks for using it.
Cheers,
Murali

Hi Paparasee,
A new release is uploaded to play store.
As you mentioned I implemented the pin lock, able to delete default labels and google drive implementations.
Also the UI has been updated and new features like import from sd card has been added.
Can you please install the latest app and tell your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Murali

I can't find how to export all contacts to PC. The user manual is just childish stupid !
This must include all data (Name, phone numbers, etc)
Must I connect the device to a usb port or wifi and upload to cloud ?
Are they located on simcard or somewhere inside the device ?
1: Open Contacts app separately. (Not through dialer.)
2: Press 3 dots top right.
3: Select All
4: Click the share button.
5: From there you can choose to share it or save it locally on your phone which can then be copied to PC.
All contacts will be condensed into one .vcf file which is recognised by all phones.
All the best.
Thank you Alrich
After creating the vcf file:
I see the share icon. The wanted choice for me would be to send that file to the PC.
The Poco X3 NFC is usb connected to my pc with function file transfer allowed.
On the Poco screen I assume that the 'monitor' icon is the symbol for local pc ?
Clicking that option opens right away the app Casten which is asking access (3 options shown).
This app seems to be mandatory. I would have expected instantaneous copy operation instead of again another app authorization.
So far so good. But what to do with issue ‘Casten' ?
Even when going in this application settings and allowing 'location' I keep turning in a loop.

Can't you simply send the file to your email account and then download it on your PC?
I now try #4 (sharing with my gmail account).
The process shows a large spinning wheel and above a text Informatie controleren ... (Dutch). This seems to spin for ever.
By the way, I will change the language to English, for the purpose of reporting exactly what appears on screen..
At #3
I made a faulty assumption. The 'screen' icon is not for pc sharing. It seems to be for sharing the vcf file on screens ! What the hell has "exporting contacts" to do with sharing screens. Very confusing.

No idea what that might be. Maybe you have many contacts.
You can also try this:
Contacts - Share
And then select a file manager app. That way you can simply save the vcf file on your phone.
Then connect your phone to your PC and then copy the vcf file over
Meanwhile I managed to store Contacts on my PC.
But first, let me tell what NOT to do : Exporting to merged CSV file would be ok, if Excel would open that in a usual view. That however is not the case because Excel shows a useless scrambled view mixing all commas and data.
I found a free software that converts the csv file to another file that shows a normal view in Excel. Download from SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/bulkvcftocsv/
Using that software Excel opens all Contacts as a normal sheet. This is easy to edit.
I assume that it can be used to import in iPhone devices.
No need to export contacts to pc via Google account, but you might like to do that also.
I do not know if there is any other easier method. Eventually why make things too simple if there is a more difficult way ?
#7 came was read after my fix described in #8. I might like to try it later

Possible cause: CSV standard is Comma Separated Values; in my experience and unless properly configured, Excel expects Colon Separated Values...
