[Q] Can't edit calendar entries from exchange server - General Questions and Answers

Sorry for the several pictures attached, but they will help illustrate the problem.
This is the software version I am using on the phone. I am rooted but otherwise stock.

This is the version of Google Calendar I am using
I have 2 exchange accounts on my Android device. Each syncs calendar entries properly. This pic is of one of the accounts.
However, depending on the manner in which the calendar entry was entered, whether on the phone or using outlook, the notifications differs.
This entry was added using the phone. Notice the "pen" icon in the top right, which allows for editing the entry as well as the general layout of the notification.
Now notice the notification when the entry was made with outlook. It is very different, and does not have the pen icon to edit the entry.
I found the following post (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13779) which seems to indicate that it is a problem with the primary SMTP address, but I removed, and then re-added the account using the exact address, and the problem persists.
I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideas. I contact my hosted exchange service, and they asked if I had updated my android software to the latest, and then said that, since they have not had many, if any, complaints about it, there was nothing they could do. Now, I am willing to live with it if need be, but I would love to correct this issue.

Update
So, I added the exchange calendar to a different android phone (TBolt) and the entries are now editable.
I then uninstalled, and reinstalled, the calendar app on the problem phone (A Rezound) and the problem is still present.
I also notice that I had two calendar applications. Notice the icons at the bottom of the picture
Perhaps there is some sort of interaction causing the problem. Anyone have any suggestions. Would love to uninstall the older calendar app, but don't see that option anywhere.
I am trying to avoid a factory wipe, and am also wondering if the latest Rezound SW update will cure the problem.
Any ideas?

Google Sync (ActiveSync) Outage? - UPDATED- Confirmed 2010.06.18

Hi Friends,
Anyone is experiencing a instability in Direct Push / Active Sync services from Google?
Everything was working fine until day before yesterday.
What I've tried?
- Delete account, and set up again.
- Disable and Enable Direct Push in ComManager.
Other services work perfectly. Internet, MMS, etc.
Note: Isn't IMAP Service, but ActiveSync protocol (aka DirectPush)
Google could add the "blessed" Google Sync on the Dashboard.
More sources and information about this outage:

http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=756d1cab8aba5b7a000489347f2ae405&hl=en
It seems that Google IGNORES the malfunctioning of the service.
Errors like:

Trying not to be too defensive here, but I've made multiple posts to this thread and other threads acknowledging that we're actively working on improving Google Sync. I have also made proactive posts for the true outages that we've had.
I'm sorry to hear that many of you are still having problems, and we're investigating. We pushed a new release out yesterday that should help with some of the issues we've been seeing (I'll try and post more details on that release later today).
I am working with our Enterprise team to make sure we have appropriate communication with our Google Apps users. Premier users are welcome to use the other communication channels they have available if you need individual attention. Our status dashboard - to date - has meant to cover the desktop versions of our products, but we're working on clarifying where Google Sync fits in and hope to have it listed on the official SLA agreement soon as well (you'll note that it's not currently listed there now).
I appreciate everyone's patience as we continue to troubleshoot!

can a Chrome browser plugin steal my Google password?

i am looking for a way to schedule sending emails with my Gmail account. i came across Boomerang for Gmail which does exactly what i need it to. it installs as a plugin for Chrome browser and once installed, when i compose a new email in Gmail account, right next to the "send" button, there is now a new Boomerang send button.
what i need to know is if plugins like these can steal passwords. i know i should have thought about that before i installed it but it didn't occurred to me until after the fact. thanks for letting me know!
if permissions include access to cookies it can

They can easily steal your password if they're active when you type it in, but not after that.

As far as I am aware, unless they have some sort of keylogger, they cannot get your password, per-se.
However, (As also mentioned above), if they have access to cookies, they can login in your name. Additionally, some sites have the ability to hook in with google, and get "access" to your account if you approve it.

I could quite easily write a Chrome extension that popped up a window with your username and password in it, but it would have to capture them at a login screen, and not with a keylogger.
An extension has access to every control on every page that it is running.
Chrome would tell you, when you installed the extension, that it could access your google username and password though, so it could never do anything without you first allowing it to. Saying that though, there's a lot of people that just click 'Okay' without knowing what they're clicking!

Issues with Google calendar sync

Hi everyone,
I have been having issues with my calendar sync on my XTZ 311. It has been happening over the past three months and it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as classes are starting again soon and I use my tablet as my primary organizer. I had been using Google Calendar from the play store, but I had noticed that in no monger was syncing and I couldn't troubleshoot it myself, so I factory reset my tablet to see it that would help. Long story short, it didn't, and not whenever I try to open it, it just force closes. The stock calendar is only slightly better as it will at least sync facebook birthdays. Now yes, I could get away with just using this but I like to have everything synced with my phone and laptop as well. Attached are some screenshots of the problem, if anyone could help that'd be great.

Had same issue. For me solution was simple... Instal another calendar app, sync google calendar there, let it work for a while and voila... That somehow made it work again. You can delete that new calendar afterwards.
Google knows about this and investigate it.
might help
open google calendar on PC browser. Try checking the calendar you use. I guess multiple calendars kinda force close sony calendars app. After unchecking resync your calendar. And the check it back and sync again.
This may help. I couldn't sync calendar at all with service.
Get GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, install it llike an app, and calendar will sync with g account.
I have android CM 4.4.2, not sure if this can help all, but this is link I dwnloaded from:
goo.im , site wont let me to put link here, but google GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, get it and install it.
Hope it helps.

Notification problem on Facebook App Tap Login Screen

Hey guys, I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out.. Probably a week or two ago I stopped getting logged out notifications, I use the Tap login (saved password login) where it shows your picture and you tap it once to log in, the problem is it no longer shows the red dot with the number of notifications waiting anymore. Here are the things I've tried.
Going to APPS in Settings and checking that "Show Notifications" is enabled, which it is.

}
Went to in-app Settings and Notification Settings (assuming that even has any effect on Logged out notifications I'm not sure if it does or not.) Still appears to be ok settings.
Other things I've tried:
Clearing FB app cache.
Clearing FB app data.
Unintalling FB app completely (including files left after uninstall)
Reinstalling FB app.
Clearing Cache from Recovery Mode.
Factory Reset from Recovery Mode.
None of which has fixed the problem.
Here are some details that may be useful:
Phone: ZTE ZMAX2 (z958)
Android OS Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Facebook App version: 180.0.0.35.82
I thought maybe FB broke something in one of their updates or something but everyone knows FB has next to nothing as far as support, they do have the "report a problem" on facebook but you always get an automated reply and never really know if your getting anywhere by reporting it. Also the developer email on google play but again with so many users I imagine the amount of support emails I doubt they are able to monitor them efficiently.
Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what the problem could be? Could it be an android setting somewhere that is blocking the apps logged out notifications? Or possibly app not syncing?
Any help would be appreciated.
bump... Anyone?

Contact Sync on Android

Is there anyway, -not- to have my contact list pull from my Google account the second I add a Google account into my phone?
I have disabled automatically sync data, yet Google still deem it necessary to push my contact from their servers into my second phone where I do -not- want any entire contact.
I remember that on my Galaxy S7, I ended up getting around the issue by simply deleting the contacts I did not want on my phone (probably by disabling sync first).
But on my Pixel, which replaces the S7, I am getting a warning that doing so will remove the contacts on all my other devices despite the fact that I have also disabled auto-sync.
Worse come to worse, I suppose that I could just use a different account on my second phone and avoid adding the account on my primary phone, but I would prefer not to that if only because I would like to be able to access my paid apps (yes, I could also login and out of my primary account as necessary, but I'd prefer a set and forget solution if there is one).
Thanks.
I just make backup copies, then import the latest one.
Hi, you can also use android contacts manager tool to help you make backup of contacts on your android phone to the computer, and you can also manage (edit, delete, etc) them before you take backup. The tool my suggest is Coolmuster Android Assistant. With its help, contacts manager is really easy.

With Samsung phones there is already a robust contact manager, no Gookill needed.
