Just started playing with Google Now. You can say things like, "note to self, clean out refrigerator." only problem is, I don't know where these notes go! I've looked far and wide, searched google everywhere looking for this answer. Anybody know? It's probably something really easy to make me look stupid. LoL
Just tried this out...apparently it sends you an email saying what the note is

Hmm, really? I'm not receiving any emails and I checked my sent mail too. I wonder if it has to be configured somewhere.

Thanks, figured out what was wrong.
I use MailDroid for my email and I had the Gmail software disabled in play store. I just enabled it and it sent me an email this time.

New to android, and was wondering if there is an app that will do voicemail like iphone? I think evo has it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah, if I had to choose one thing I miss about my iPhone, it would be visual voicemail. Would definitely like to see a mod for it.
Google Voice
Google Voice is the best/free app that comes to my mind (works great for me), however I'm sure if you Google or just look for apps on the marketplace they shouldn't be hard to find...
the best visual voicemail app ive found is called youmail
I use Google voice for visual voicemail.

Visual voicemail by Fusion
There is an app called visual voicemail. It is made by Fusion. Works great for me. I used it with Windows mobile. Had an account back then. I even get faxes to my cell number. All free when I signed up with Windows Mobile.
I don't think this belongs in the development section
this definitely belongs in general. keep the development section open for roms and fixes etc.
Anyone else think we need a q&a sections like some of the other phones?
Unfortunately for those of us that use Google Apps they left us in the dust on Google Voice.

Yes, Google Voice is pretty good. Its about as close to iphone visual voicemail as you're gonna get on the Captivate.
Plus I kind of like the transcribed voicemail emails.
How do I use that instead of att
voicemail?
Sorry for a noob q??

Log into your google account on your computer. Find google voice on google's site. There is an option to use google voice for just voice mail. There will also be instructions for setting up your phone to forward voice mails to your google voice account. When you are all done wth that, download google voice from the market and go through its options.
I did all that and google voice works seamlessly for my voice mail.
Just open another google accountunder the same email. Problem solved

Problem NOT solved because it's still a different account with a new contact list.
Your google voice account does not have to be the same as your primary account. I have a google apps account that I use as my primary account for contacts, email and calendars. I have a second account that I use for the market and google voice. It works fine.

I wondered if anyone can recommend a good solution / app that will allow you to view and manage my gmail contacts from my Transformer?
It's really bizarre that in the native Gmail app on the tablet that there isn't a tab/button to view my Gmail contacts like there is if I was logged in to Gmail from my windows notebook? There seems to be every other option other than "contacts"?
I know that my contacts are synchronized from my Gmail account as they pop up in the "to" line of an email when I start typing, but there isn't any way to manage/edit/add contacts like there is in the notebook computer gmail page?
I've found a way 3rd party app called "contacts 3" that seems to allow editing and management of contacts but hoping that there is a native solution? Seems like a really big oversight by Google if there isn't an integrated way to manage Gmail contacts?
Thanks.

No worries, friend. I can't even recall the number of senior moments I had at work this week and I am only 35. I attribute it to waaaaaay too many Phish concerts in the 90's.
Is anyone else having this issue? I only use one calendar and for some reason all my events are multiplied by 4 and I just have a feeling it's going to get worse. Does anyone have a fix for this. Running fully stocked.

Have the same thing going on with my work email, removing the account and readding it fixes it for a couple hours then it does it again. Also my contacts are multiplying.

Damn! Just looked at my contacts. Not good. It's almost like a mirror effect going on. I have a bad feeling it's just going to keep doubling until I have no room. I wonder if backup assistance is causing the problem?

I'm not using backup assistant, figured it was happening to me from a couple dirty flashes, but if you are running stock then that's not the case.

I had a similar problem on my Incredible because I have multiple Google accounts that have access to each other's calendars, so it would show all my events 2 and 3 times. Check your calendar settings and make sure it only shows one occurrence for each calendar name. Hope that helps.

I've been looking for a setting option like that for the last hour. Are you sure it exists on this phone? If so, I'd be grateful for your direction.
I deleted my corporate email and added it again. I'm no longer syncing contacts that's for sure.
Currently not being productive.
There are 2 places to look...
First, go under settings -> Accounts and sync. Check each account to see if "Sync Calendar" is checked.
Second, at the top of the calendar app main screen, hit the "Calendars" button. This will give you a list of available calendars to display. Mine has:
My Calendar = checked
My Tasks = checked
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked) and US holidays (unchecked)
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked), [email protected] (UNchecked), and US holidays (unchecked)
Show birthday with an arrow to expand showing "Contacts' birthdays" which is checked.
I left my other gmail accounts off this phone since I check them enough from work.
The problem I ran into on my Inc was from having my badseed767 calendar checked on 3 different accounts. Once I unchecked it on the extra accounts, it only showed up once.
Hope this helps.
No, but I appreciate the attempt. I was hoping there really was a way to ignore "same name" events. I had found the calendars menu and made sure only one of each account was checked and it was still multiplying everything. Then again it might have been too late since the events already multiplied. So this is what I did.
Deleted the email account. Joined all my contacts that could be combined. Setup the corporate email again and only synced the calendar and email. Went into calendar as you suggested above and made sure that only one corporate email was checked, then synced. So far no duplicates.

Sounds positive. I'm curious, do you have the Google sync thing running on a pc that syncs outlook to Google? Also, can you give us so insight on the exchange server? Curious if those having issues are imapi or pop3 configured etc.

Well... I honestly don't know. I'm new to Samsung/TWiz phones for the most part and I'm still trying to find my way around through all the settings.
As for Google being synced to Outlook, no, not intentionally at least. The only syncing I've done with Google has been on my phones. Hell, if I didn't have a phone, I'd never even look at gmail.
If I was on my HTC phone, I'd be able to answer your question on the server. Is there a way for me to see that somewhere in the settings? Haven't found it yet. If not, I'll try setting my phone up on my wife's phone(my old Rezound). However, I love to know where I can find that if it's an option.
EDIT: I can't find your answer. It's a corporate email if that helps.
Currently not being productive.
Well, my plan didn't work. Events doubled. This is starting to drive me crazy!
Currently not being productive on my S3.
I've searched and can't find anything that works well. I'm looking for a way to sync contacts from various accounts. HTC sense had an automatic link suggestion. Any third party apps or ROMs for SGS3?
Thanks.

Serious. Your Google account does that. Login to Gmail from your computer and do it from there.

This. Your gmail account should automatically sync to your phone if you set it up correctly. I don't even need to back up my contacts while flashing roms because it does it for me.
Did 4.4 KitKat by a chance add some way of syncing Facebook contacts with the phones contacts. Or people app I should say. Or do we still have to use third party apps like haxsync?

Nope. That most likely will never come back.
Ubersync does a fantastic job of doing it though. Been using it since 4.0

I've used HaxSync for forever now, but I wonder if it's still the best solution. I haven't synced my N5 yet.

You are incorrect.

It's just a link talking about the new features of 4.4 and that's it. Or that's all I can tell because I didn't do the ADVERTISING SURVEY REQUIRED to view the article.
People just trying to get you to complete surveys and garbage. I thought XDA was free from troll accounts and bots.

same here. i now downloaded it from pirate bay but it does not work (v2.5.2). When I add the HaxSync account in the settings, I can login with my Facebook credentials, then facebook asks for permissions and when I click to proceed, just a white screen appears and nothing happens.
A question to the guys with a Nexus 5 and HaxSync working: which version do you use?

Previously I had HTC One X and I loved that integration with facebook. I have noticed long time ago that HTC puts facebook tag data for every contact (note field) so that can easily connect my phone contacts with facebook profiles any time.
Is there any way to use that data to do the same with N5 (or any other device)?

I know exactly what you mean. And the answer is: No. Unfortunately not. I have already spent hours to restore and relink the HTC facebook tags on other HTC and non HTC phones. Nothing is working.
I now found the app Contacts+ and it seems to have everything I was looking for. Recommendable so far.
It seems that haxsync can use htcdata tag and sync your contacts, but unfortunately it is removed from the Play store because of some issues with Facebook Platform Policy Team .
