Hi guys,
I have a problem with setting calendar on s3mini.
I can connect and synch the account but the problem is that my work callendar has number of locations (for booking purposes) and to what's going on on the day I have to tick check every single location to be able to see it.
I also have HTC one and this problem doesn't occurs. I can go to 'submenu' of the calendar and then tick check all locations I want to be displayed if I tick check the 'master' account.
I know it sounds complicated to understand so I'm attaching screenshots from s3mini set up and from HTC one
If you look at the HTC one calendar app it recognizes that rooms belong to main account and I can disable/enable everything by just checking that account .
On Samsung/ Google calendar app I have to check/uncheck all boxes every time I want to change what I want to be displayed.
Thanks in advance for help.

I've never used the facebook sync with contact options on my phones cuz I thought it would be annoying, but it's pretty cool.
So, I added my facebook account to 'Accounts & sync' in the settings menu and only a few Google contacts have matched up to the facebook profile even though most of them have profiles. I see that you can go one by one and 'link' the Google contacts to the corresponding facebook profile, but does anyone know what needs to match up in the contacts/profiles so that this is done automatically?
Btw, the ones that matched up I hadn't even listed the last names for in my Google contacts and some had emails and phone numbers and some only one or the other. Thanks.
Whoa. Nevermind. I'm removing the sync after finding that it clogged up my entire Google calendar with people's birthdays. Now that's definitely annoying.
You can go into your calendar and just exclude the FB calendar, that will solve your problem.

The presence of fb friends showing in your contacts depends on a couple of things. The names must match for them to sync without creating redundant entries. Also, depending on how your fb friends set their privacy settings, you may only get certain info synced. Sometimes none at all if privacy is totally locked down on their end in fb. Savvy?
Cool. Thanks.
Hi!
Yes this is for real
I have ONE of my contacts (what i think is) Skype NUMBER, not her name just the number and i have 26 of them. Non of them are editable or erasable.
When i'm trying to text her i just get this number to text to. I can't add a picture to it, i can't remove it i can't do nothing to it... What has happened?
I'm getting crazy here, please help
I think that might help:
- go to your list of contacts
- press Menu button, then choose View
- uncheck Facebook contacts to be visible on your contact list
Let know if it helped.
Yes, now I don't have see the number in my contacts. But, when texting the contact still gives me this number and no contact pic.

I don't have stock rom on my Sensation right now but I'm guessing that you need to unsync Facebook contacts.
Try to go to Settings, then Accounts & Sync, find Facebook account, then uncheck Sync contacts (or in more extreme way - delete Facebook account from your mobile). I hope this will help you this time.

Hi, I did remove this contact of mine, restarted the device and added a new post for this contact and now is everything back to normal.
Thank you for the idea.

I flash a lot of ROMs and every time I lose a couple of contacts because they aren't synced to my account. Is there any way to change a setting so that every contact created on my HOX is a Google contact?

It should be as simple as when you flash your rom, and then when you add your Google account to your phone, simply say yes to syncing your Contacts along with any other settings you want to sync.
If you want to check to see if the rom you are currently running has that already set or not just go to Settings, Accounts and Sync, then select your Google account in the list.
I think the original question was misunderstood.
The original question is: How do you change the default New Contact creation from being a local Phone contact and instead make it so that the default is a Google contact.
I just looked and I had two contacts that were local Phone contacts which I missed when creating them to be a new Google contact.

I'd like to know, also. I've had the same thing happen to me the last couple of times.

Good luck. I searched for a week for an answer to this question, and it doesn't exist. You just have to be vigilant and every once in a while inventory / audit your contacts to make sure they're set up correctly, and if not, do a one-way copy. I just always make sure my "phone" contacts is ZERO.
I had to go to manage contacts and then copy all new contacts to my Google account
Somehow the contacts are stored in separate accounts ae Google and phone
I just copied all phone contacts to the Google contacts
A search has not fully answered my question. After having to factory reset today, I noticed my calendar (I input from the phone itself) did not sync with google calendar and back things up. I lost prior three weeks and next two weeks of appts. After looking through settings of the calendar app and the phone itself and messing with it, it still doesn't sync. Is there something missing? I noticed some others in the search had similar problems, but couldn't tell if they were the same as mine or not. Thanks!
stupid question but under your Gmail account you have calendar set to sync right? What happens when you tap the sync icon, does it sync or error out?

Yes the calendar is set to sync, when I sync it says it does. But again, if I check google calendar elsewhere, it hasn't changed.
Make sure you have your google calendar selected when adding events. The phone has its own calendar as well as all your google candidates that you have permission to write with. Perhaps you were writing to the phone's calendar instead of your google one?

Hi All,
This is my first post in xda-developers!!
Having an issue with duplicate contacts. I dont know how it happened but I have my contacts replicated around 5 times in my "People" app. I am using an HTC Explorer modded with Cyanogen 9 mod.
I tried some remove duplicate contacts app from play store but none is of use.
Please help me remove these duplicate contacts.
Thanks,
Starz
Your contacys are synced with google also so it shows two times one google.contact and one on your phone and maybe one on sim
So select the option to select what contacts to show and unselect google/phone try both

If you are on sense rom, use manage option and select de-duplicate contacts from People App.
Common way:
Login to Gmail
Just below Google Icon(Top left) you'll have "Gmail"- Click it and select Contacts.
All Contacts will appear(if you have synced to google account) .
In selection box, select "All"
Then Click on more option and use "Find & merge duplicates..."
It'll remove all duplicates
sign in to your gmail account.On the top left u will see an option GMAIL.click that u see an option contacts.click that your phone contacts which are in sync with gmail will open.click find and merge contacts (seen under MORE option).
also sync ur phone contacts with gmail account.all the duplicate contact will automatically gone.click thanks if this hel:goods
