[Q] Sync Google contacts and Calendar - Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Honor 6 Plus without root. Installed updated Google Framework and Play Store.
Tried following instructions to search on the included App Manager for Google apps and all searches come up with zero "0" na-da results.
What should be done to get contacts and calendar to sync on the Plus version of the Honor 6?

You need to install "Google Contacts Sync" and "Google Calendar Sync" from Huawei's "App Center" which is already on your phone.

canglan,
OK, that sounds great. Now issues #2 is that the search feature of the "App Center" seems broken as I can't search for anything using Pinyin or Chinese Characters. I mean all searches return zero results unless the app is already on the machine. I can browse apps and install them if I browse to them, just searching is broken.
Only think I can think could have broken this is that I upgrade the Google Framework by installing.
com.google.android.gms-6.7.76_(1745988-038)-6776038-minAPI9.apk
What ideas do you have to repair the search function of the App Center?

Hmm, it seems that searching is working now.
Who is the developer of the "Google Contacts Sync" and "Google Calendar Sync" and can you provide the Chinese characters for the app? The icon would be a bonus.

OK, I'm making progress.
I found the following post
club.vmall.my/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=751
It talks about finding a googlecontactssync.apk and googlecalendarsync.apk and install them.
I did this and now the Contacts are syncing. I have version 2.3.5 of each.
Contacts are syncing. Calendar no. Now to figure out how to get the Calendar to sync....

How comes the sync doesn't work???
This is a basic feature in a smartphone!
Sometimes Huawei let me down

ciquta,
I was able to get both of them working, and to download the appropriate sync tools from the included "App Center". All of this without root or unlocking bootloader.
I'm quite happy.

Sure, glad to help.
1) Use Huawei's "App Center"
2) Where it says "Seach Apps" in the search box put "google" and search
3) Now here's the part I missed = Click on the banner add that has pictures of Gogole apps
4) The first two apps are the sync tools on my phone.
- 日历同步服务 - Green line at top of icon
-联系人同步服务 - Blue background and head and shoulders on icon
How does that help?

No access to Google Now settings

Does anyone know how to reset google now without doing a factory reset?
I'm trying to change the weather from Fahrenheit to Celsius and all the tutorials out there tell me to go into google search settings and choose Google now from there. But I don't have that option. One possibility is that I didn't hit "Yes, I'm in" after first running google now (but I'm 99% positive I did) and a way to completely reset this would be an option, but I can't find a way to do it. Clearing data, cache, uninstalling updates or even disabling and reenabling google search does nothing.
Any ideas?
No it's in the setting in google now click card 3 dots and search in there.

Where did you get it, did it come with a ROM and which one also is the ROM if thats what your using is it for s3 or s4?
I'm using the stock rom on an S4 phone, with the 4.1.1 update.

It's not in the 3 dots menu, the first option should be Google Now, but it's just not there, as I said before.
Google Search isn't the one that came with the rom, there was a subsequent update through the market.

So just to be clear, Google Now just is not part of any One S stock ROM right just don't know why I don't have it or why is not offered?

It's part of the search app on 4.1.1+.

OK, sorry can't see your screenshots (dropbox is blocked by proxy at work).
Did you tried another google account ? Are you behind a proxy ?
Edit : found this http://blog.ingensys.net/2012/07/no-google-now-settings-on-your-nexus-7.html
Your account is a google apps for businness account ? if yes you need to activate google now in your account if no access to google apps settings ask to the manager if he can allow google now ! I think this is why you don't have the settings
It's a gmail account, but I'll look into that.
I can't find anything along those lines. Is it possible it's off because I have web history disabled in my google account?

Maybe, don't know all small details about google's products configuration...try it
Doesn't seem to have had any effect.
Maybe you can try another google account...just to know if it's related to your account.
I have two. Same behaviour on both. Tried removing and readding one too. No change.

Thx for doing this clone, I used a lot ChromeToPhone and being deprecated by Google was really bad news for me. I Installed your App and the exntension on Chrome, but I have a problem, when I try to log in on the mobile App with my Google Account it simply darkens the screen for a second and then does nothing, staying on the same screen and with the next button greyed out. I tried many times but nothing. Anyone has some explanation? My account works perfectly, so I don't know what could be the cause.
Thx for your time and great work.
PD: I could log in correctly on the Chrome extension, but I'm still unable to log in on the phone app.

Authentication bug was fixed in 1.6.2 version. Please, update.
I use Fox2Phone multiple times a week (which works with chrome2phone installed on android) I would love to see this on firefox since chrome2phone will stop working in a few months. I keep the icon up in my firefox toolbard, you also can right click on it and send clickboard which I use a lot. Example you can copy text in say notepad or any other windows app, right click send to phone and it's in your phones clipboard.
Any plans to add "send clipboard" so whatever is in the computers clipboard it would send regardless of having text highlighted?

Ha ha... you seem to be facing the same issue as me. At my work, phone is not allowed and webwhatsapp is blocked. So living on the notification mirroring apps
Doesn't help without the source of the app. Unless the author of the app decides to create the extension

Right, I was hoping that by including the link to the source of the FF extension for Chrome To Phone that the author of Push2Droid would have an easy time porting it over to his app.
Dev you can you please add "Send Clipboard" to the right click menu of push to droid? Fox2Phone had this feature I used it all time. I know you can for website text but such as from notepad or a document or whatever other app on windows such as an IM client, etc.
In case it might be useful to anyone else, I have now moved on to a different solution since Push2Droid doesn't support Firefox: http://atekihcan.github.io/Sendroid/

Pokemon PTC account
You will need to login with a valid pokemon (PTC) account.
You should create a specific account to be sure your main account won't get banned.
If you have trouble logging, try to login in the pokemon go app to check this account is working.
Don't hesitate to give me feedback and suggestions.
Phone need to be rooted?
Do i need a root for this? Can i refine distance?

I can't even login. Is this PTC account only?

Killing the app works, but definatly get failed GPS more times than not. Still when it works it's very good. Can't wait for an update
Everything works fine outside but getting failed GPS in apartment, even if other apps doesn't have any problem. I can get a localization anyway, but 2 seconds later it will say failed GPS again.
Would it be possible to assume when GPS failed that the user is still at the last valid position for a certain time instead of display the message ?
Anyway, great job !
Edit: whoops, answered to fast, it seems i have trouble outside too.
Gps Issue will be fixed in next release, it was a stupid error, (had forgotten to uncoment a line sending location to the map fragment...)
nice feature to come in next release...
V0.02
Found pokes are now shown in a notification (show the 8 more rare ones) with their expiry time and rarity color
New Status Server info icon: open a webpage showing servers status (if you don't get any poke location try to login again once in a while)
GPS Location was not working sometime: fixed
Poke location search is a little slower but gives better result
(has been uploaded to play store, should be available soon)
Don't update to v. 0.02 there seems to be an issue, I will publish an update later today
is it safe to assume that is why I am not getting any notifications on my smart watch?

yes it was a very stupid error, instead of adding positions in a list sent to the "position to be scanned for pokemons" i was adding the empty list into itself.....

Notifix
Content Aware Notification Management!
Hassle free categorization of notifications based on its content and type.​
Notifix uses app type and processes notification content using machine learning to automatically group notifications into their respective categories - not just based on the app's name. Not just another notification manager!
You can later check those grouped notifications without losing content and the link that the notification carries.
It is powered by TensorFlow™ and is continuously being developed. Feel free to pour in your suggestions!
It automatically categorizes notifications into either of the 5 categories: Primary/Promotions/News/Messages/Social, and they can be separately viewed without losing the deep-link that the original notification carried.
Download: Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grenadeguy.notifix
Feel free to drop in your views, recommendations, and suggestions!
Screenshots:
Permissions explained:
I have given a brief explanation in the Play Store listing.
Notification access: To read incoming notifications and categorize them.
Usage access: To see last used application and clear old notifications.
Contacts: To skip processing SMS/Messages if the sender is in contacts.
Phone: To find the default dialer and skip processing/grouping its notification.
I store the already determined app type and live notifications locally to make it easy to sort. There was also a plan to display an archive of cleared notifications (not carrying the deep-link). So storage is also needed (SQL databases basically).
Hoping to find alternate ways to accomplish those requirements so that those sensitive permissions aren't needed.
Sounds interesting!

Nice app, Just installed. A black theme or forced black text would be nice, see screenshot.
I use substratum Swift black (i guess that's the problem why text is White).
Thanks for the app!

Nice app, Just installed. A black theme or forced black text would be nice, see screenshot.
I use substraten Swift black (i guess that's the problem why text is White).
Thanks for the app!

This is how it looks. New ones will just be kept out of the group. Sorry that it's in Chinese, and sorry for the double post.

Can you elaborate a bit more, please?
I couldn't exactly get your point.

In the screenshot, it's saying updated 1 app Google Docs on the first line, the second line it's saying updating Google Docs, which was supposed to be disappeared after the first line appears.
And once this happens, newer notifications from Google Play will not be grouped under this group anymore.
Hope you can understand what I'm saying.

Oops....Thank you. Will check that.
why is the "Read contacts" permission needed?
and if possible, could you elaborate on the following 2 permissions as its the first time i saw them in apps?
- "run the application's scheduled background work"
- "update component usage statistics"
thx..
Sounds interesting, but any chance of making the account linking optional? The app won't even start unless you provide a Google account, which is something i'd rather not do until at least after i test the app to see if it's for me or not.

I know that feels strange (being a user myself). I have given a brief explanation in the Play Store listing.
Notification access: To read incoming notifications and categorize them.
Usage access: To see last used application and clear old notifications.
Contacts: To skip processing SMS/Messages if the sender is in contacts.
Phone: To find the default dialer and skip processing/grouping its notification.
I store the already determined app type and live notifications locally to make it easy to sort. There was also a plan to display an archive of cleared notifications (not carrying the deep-link). So storage is also needed (SQL databases basically).
Hoping to find alternate ways to accomplish those requirements so that those permissions aren't needed.

I can make it. But logging in is currently needed for the app to function properly (it's also used for easy categorization inside the app other than just saving your preferences).
I'll look for ways to do that. Hopefully within 1 or 2 updates I can do that.

Hi!
I'm testing your app, it looks quite good. But I have a problem: it doesn't show the message category. It hides all the mails and messages of Telegram and WhatsApp without showing anything. The rest of categories are right.

Sounds strange. Can you try changing the delay period for Messages?

Question Google Phone: turn off answering by voice

Is there a way to disable the feature to answer calls by voice saying "answer"?
When receiving a call in full screen the "say answer" pill is covering the top of the screen

It's in Accessibility Settings/Voice Access
Also maybe consider blurring the number and name? Just saying.
Turned off but pill is still there

As a friendly FYI, you may want to edit your pic to remove your personal information for safety and privacy concerns.

You can turn off quick phrases for incoming calls to disable this. Go to Google Assistant settings and look for "Quick Phrases" and turn of the toggle for "Incoming Calls"

OK, problem solved by turning off quick phrases fo incoming calls in assistant settings. yet, if I would like to use this feature I will have to live with the pill covering top of the incoming screen :-(
Can someone confirm this?

Yes, that is correct. This overlay is part of the Google Assistant Quick Phrases functionality.
I don't know why the overlay overlaps the caller details on your device because I don't have that issue. It's pretty non-intrusive on my device with the overlay displayed in the empty space between the call details and the caller photograph.

So, I have opted out of all beta apps and now I have
Google Phone 105.0.5349... (same as you)
Google Play Service 23.17.17 (newer than you)
Google App 14.20.11.29 (same as you)
And I am still getting the pill on top and not in the center.
I have also tried different screen setting, to no avail.
Do you have a Pixel 7 or 7 PRO?

The screenshot I uploaded above is from a Pixel 7 Pro. But I also have it displayed in the same area on a Pixel 6a.
I really don't know what to say...
Does anything else (3rd party) have phone permissions, or perhaps contacts?
Maybe there's something messing around with the stock overlay...
Don't know, is there s way to find all apps with overlay permission?
Even the alarm displays the pill on top

Yep, if you go to Settings -> Apps -> Special App Permissions -> Display Over Other Apps, you can get a full list of any requested and currently enabled.
This should be a pretty small set, particularly any phone app(s), typically only one or possibly a couple of helper apps, that you really trust, IME/IMO.
I tried this on my P7P, and I also do NOT see this issue (I have only 1 current phone-perms app, the Google phone app).
