yikes. id say get a new calender. no! lol. assuming your events are backedup? i bet a fresh wipe and flash would fix the issue.

I had the same problem awhile back. Seems like it went away when I rooted and loaded custom ROMs.

This is an issue with your time zone and all-day (24 hour) events. Your phone is starting an hour or so before midnight so your preview shows the event as a day early.
The solution is to update your Gmail time zone (or whatever calendar is at fault) to match your phone. I've had the same issue with Google's US Holidays calendar, and Arizona's lack of daylight savings means Sprint always screws up the network provided time zone.

where.tf did you find that black taskbar with 3G?! since my ban was lifted, ive been looking for that. what ROM are you running?

It's the Android calendar that's messed up my normal online google calendar is fine, I think I might have found what it is, my phone is set to -4GMT which is wrong it's supposed to be -5GMT that's what everything else is set to (except my phone) on the phone -5 is bogota Columbia and I can only select it if I deselect automatic time (use network-provided values) and then it changes the time to an hour off(behind) any ideas to change this so that it's correct or is it the HTC/Android calendar that is screwed up?
I'm running damageless v1 if you want the 3G black taskbar

You already have them in your phone.it's a simple matter of copying and renaming 5 png's. You can do it in less than 10 min with 7zip
Aside, I wonder if calendar reminders are incompatible with flan lock like the world clock? hmmm

im using some custom window transitions, which changed the taskbar icons a little. can i still as easily change these icons (im vaugly familiar with the 7zip method) without breaking w.t.?

hmm, I dont know much about transitions but I don't know why not. As long as the files are the same size you should be able to name the ones you want the same name as the ones that are currently being used. It should be pretty simple.

Android Town

Ok, Android Town is now an obsolete name and application on the market. It was renamed to Peeples. Peeples is a seperate app on the market so you would need to download that one. It uses the same DB as Android Town so all your information is saved.
Peeples is a social community application which is location based. It enables users to see other users of the application on the map and strike up a conversation with them. Privacy options are also available.
So far the application has over 11k users.
Peeples has the added options of:
- uploading profile pictures and avatar through the application
- sending files from SD card with messages as attachments (5Mb limit for now)
Try it out and let me know what you think.

Running it on a G1 running CM 4.2.15.1.
Noticed a few things.
1) Registration via App Only (not a big deal, just no indication on the site as such)
2) Registration within the app resulted in "passwords do not match" ANY time I left a password field even when they did match
3) Map reacts slowly when being moved or zoomed in/out
As there's no one yet in my area run ning this, I haven't tested many of the other features. I'll report as I experience more.

Thanks for giving it a try. Hopefully some more US citizens register so you'll be able to interact with them. 5000 kms (around 3100 miles) is the biggest radius so far. Most of the users are in Europe at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up on the registration part. I will definitely try to improve it.
I was also thinking about adding content from social networks if users have any (FB, Twitter, FLickr...). What do you think about that?
And thanks again for testing

Have yet to install the newer release for testing, but looking forward to it.
The concept of linking other social media is a fine idea, provided that there are switches set in place to allow for selected/unselected status. I know plenty of users who would want to publish information for their Facebook, but may want to avoid doing so on other networks.
Either way, yeah, further integration with social media is a fine idea.

ill install and test tmmrw probably

seems pretty cool ill make sure to throw it on my EVO as soon as it freakin comes out

Added to my G1. Will let you know what happens.

Cheers. I sent you a msg in the app as well. Can you test how the send message screen looks on lower resolution please?

Testing it out now , but not many *users* in norway.
I'm the only one

Application is still in its's early days. If you choose a larger radius you will see more users (around 45 accross the world right now)

Application has just been published to the market as well, under the Social category of applications.

How about making a public chat channel that every one is in , when we connect . And late maybe switch it so it will be local / country only.
All depending on how many users this app gets

That's actually a very good idea. I'll be sure to do that as soon as possible...shouldn't be that hard (at least for a single one for starters)

Good nice app!

Already tweeted this. I'll Buzz it as well.

Private Messages look fine on the G1. No issue there.
I'll be comparing my experience to my friend's on the Nexus. Hopefully provide you some better feedback concerning how this works with the G1's older hardware.
Edit: First things we noticed, "Passwords do not match!" error is still present when registering via the app, even if the passwords do match. This issue has been replicated on the G1 and the Nexus 1.
Other noted issues:
Attempt to "Add as friend" on the G1 results in a toast of "Error". No other information contained in error.
Sending a picture on the G1 took about 1 min 45 seconds from time of shot to "Picture sent!" toast showed up.
I'll see what I can do to provide better information (such as screenshots, etc)
Let me know what else you could use.

Just a thought, an option to register via the desktop(internet) as well.
i couldn't figure out how to register until I found it as an option in settings when the app was open.
Doh.
It's lonely in the south of england......

Working on the mentioned bugs as we speak. Will probably release an upgrade today that might fix a few things.
@squirreleater: the internet register option is definitely needed. I agree.

anyone from germany?
feature request: please include option to add user with the username directly so that people from here can invite eachother other than searching on the map

install
Wont install on my Hero ??

Idea for an Applocker (if it doesn't exist yet)

Hi,
I was hunting for an applocker a while ago, and I had some ideas for a couple of features.
1) When accessing the locked app, it should show an error message like "Access Denied : File checksum failed" or something with a lot of error codes to confuse a non-techie person instead of straight up asking for a password. (custom error messages if possible)
2a)Now to unlock that app, you have to go into the dialer and type your chosen unlock code. Use a special symbol to unlock only for 5 minutes, or unlock completely until manual re-locking.
2b) Ability to set a button and screen password combination. Eg/- To unlock gallery, tap the right corner of the screen twice, then press the volume up button 3 times. Something along these lines.
3)Hides itself from the Apps section in Settings, app drawer and recent apps. Only way to uninstall is from the app itself (I think this is a common feature.)
4) Essentially an inconspicuous applocker. - Asks for password but looks like an error message. I think this could be nice and slick..
I'm not knowledgeable enough to build such an app myself....
What do you guys think? If such an app already exists, please link me to it.
Thanks.

Nice thinking.
Though point one has already been implemented by most app locks.

So has been point two.
Point three is common like you said.
And point four is just the error feature which has already been done.
Keep thinking though.

Hi, thanks for your reply!
Glad to see someone has done this!
And -
Could you tell me what app has the error message feature?
Is it the app in the second screenshot?
I want something which not only locks gallery but also SMS and Whatsapp. Can those apps do this?
EDIT: The second screenshot looks like it uses the passcode to open the app locker itself (if I'm not mistaken). I meant unlocking a locked app.

All the features you talked about are scattered. All of them are not present in one app.
But the best lock I would say is Vault.
It has the dialer feature, you can even put a fake vault which is completely empty incase someone forces you to open it. Then it also has a feature which can help u lock conversations both from the messaging service and even Facebook conversations. Hope it helps.

Different delayed notifications problem on OnePlus 7 Pro. Doesn't work at all on WiFi

Alright, here's another complaint about delayed notifications on OxygenOS, my OnePlus 7 Pro. Thing that really makes my phone unusable.
Please read the whole post so we can avoid tips like "aw, you can disable global battery optimizations in settings, also disable it for apps you want to get notifications for" because I have done everything found on threads as solution and nothing helped. Thanks.
I have tried to diagnose what the problem is in past few days as I saw that notifications on my phone aren't showing up at all. For ALL APPS, not only 3rd party. For NONE of the apps. Google services, Viber, Dropbox, Email, Instagram, 1st, 2nd, 3rd party apps.
I was reading about this problem on various forums found on google and first thing I discovered that this is mentioned as far as 2016-2015 which is very bad that such problem persists and isn't solved even in 2020.
Second thing, only solution I found mentioned as successful is "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable". That suspected culprit is Android Doze, light sleep, deep sleep. That doesn't work for me.
Found only one post came to similar conclusion as me, but unfortunately nobody answered it. Here's what I managed to find out as I tried everything.
In my case problem isn't at all in phones (deep) sleep, Doze, battery optimizations, apps getting killed in background, etc...
I'm not receiving notifications ONLY WHEN MY PHONE IS CONNECTED TO WIFI. It takes only few minutes from when I put my phone on a table to stop receiving notifications! I can track that when I'm using PC, receiving and answering messages on Viber - nothing shows up at my OnePlus. Even after 15-30 minutes, hours, notifications aren't showing up on phone. What makes it worse: I receive message on Viber, get notification on PC, (I'm not opening message on pc for ex. 20 minutes) take my phone, use other apps - STILL DON'T GET notification. Until I open Viber (or any other particular app) only then it connects, refreshes and show up new messages!
And no, it's not problem in Viber, I took it only as an example because it's my main IM app, as I said notifications for all apps aren't getting trough: GMail, Instagram, Dropbox, you name it...
Another strange thing is that Google won't automatically sync it's services while on wifi. For example Keep notes, Drive and so on. When I go to settings > accounts > google account - auto sync is enabled and in details I can see that every single service is updated LAST TIME I WAS ON 4G.
Viber backup also won't upload it's messages to Google Drive while on WiFi. On 4G it syncs backup without problems.
As I said, all of these things work flawlessly while I'm on 4G. All this syncing and NOTIFICATIONS as well. Only on 4G.
I even tried connecting to different wifi routers, 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz and it behaves the same no matter what I do.
When I take my phone, disable WiFi and enable 4G I immediately get all the notifications that were delayed while on WiFi. So that's how I got to the conclusion it is problem with wifi, not deep sleep etc.
Other than receiving notifications, I use phone over the WiFi normally, without any bugs or glitches: YouTube, Instagram, Chrome... Just (push) notifications aren't getting trough, and I can see all of them being refreshed as opening them.
OnePlus 7 Pro is updated to the latest firmware, 10.3.
Once more, please read the whole thread. I hope someone from OnePlus will read it and help me solve this problem as device like this is absolutely unusable.

Exactly the same? Not receiving notifications only on WiFi but on 4G it works normally?

Update:
I have contacted live customer support yesterday, sent them this detailed info about the problem and they replied that already have this particular problem (with notifications not working on wireless network only) reported by many users and it's software problem in latest update of OxygenOS (mine is 10.3.0.GM21AA, should be latest). Assured me that they are aware of the problem and developers are working on it to be fixed in next firmware update. I hope update will come quickly and it will be solved indeed because not receiving notifications while on WiFi at all renders my OnePlus unusable!

I still have the same problem on my OP 8. I receive notification from Whatsapp only if I'm under 4G.

How reliable is Android Permissions Controller?

I have never used the Permissions Controller timeline to view when apps accessed something on my device. That's because I have taken time to configure permissions for every single app on my device, and assumed Android would ensure that apps are forced to adhere to my settings.
But then I saw this news today:
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1654856617723301888
I wanted to check if something of this sort is happening on my device too. And yes, it turns out to be true in my case:

Background access is NOT allowed under permissions:
Why did Android allow Meet to use my Camera in the background?​

Another thing, there isn't even an option to "allow" Meet to use the camera in the background.

I will keep checking the timeline every now and then going forward.
I have set Knock Knock to OFF. So I really can't think of any good reason why the app was allowed background access, and especially when such an option doesn't even exist as you said.
This Knock Knock feature is another configuration that exposes Google's hypocrisy. First of all, there is absolutely no reason to keep it turned ON by default. Despite several complaints and feedback, Google has still kept that setting ON by default.
Unfortunately, most users aren't even aware of this stupidly named feature that doesn't actually 'knock' to get the users' permission to open up the camera.

Looks like you don't use Meet.
This setting:
By default, if someone calls you on Meet, he/ she will automatically be able to see you/ what's happening at your end even before you answer/ don't answer.
What sort of a creep at Google thinks this setting should be ON by default?

I don't trust Google, so yeah I don't use their stuff. I'm really not surprised they have it on by default, sadly.
