I have a question to all android users:
1. After i install an android OS how do i recover or transfer my contacts and calender events from WM 6.1 to android?
Try syncing your contact with Google sync before jumping to android, then you will have your contact list safely waiting at google servers.
There are many ways but the best one to my opinion is this. I have tried it and it is amazingly easy to use. Just a few clicks. Although I am from Greece and greek contacts are a little bit difficult to be handled, results were simply excellent for me. But you have to do it immediately because the android app is still beta and expires tomorrow. I suppose there will be a non beta version after that but it may not be for free
I forgot to mention that the above way of backup, can only handle contacts, sms, call log and bookmarks. As the site says "much more coming soon" but now it cannot handle calendar entries
google is great
google is great. I suggest every one can just use google to sync contact and calender. this problem solved!
Ok! I agree, Google Sync solves. I'll close here, anything send me PM
I know that topic was here 100 times or more. But did somebady knows do google do something with this blurry contats when syncing with gmail cont. ? Because they f*** with this since 2008. Or maby is there some new ways to walkaround this, except google +, because I have only one friend who use it...
Seriously I can't imagine why Google haven't implemented this function.
I have a first gen iPod Touch with a very old version of iOS and it does that very well!
I know you can subscribe to an agenda via Google Agenda but it is updated every 65465465 years (exaggerating a bit )
I know there apps for that but NOT FREE !
So does anyone know a SIMPLE way to subscribe to a calendar directly from the phone and with which I can update the calendar directly FROM THE PHONE and when I WANT, not when Google decides to update the calendar?
We are in version 4, c'mon Google !
Wow - Google has a help document exactly for that.
Hint: Do it from a browser.

Ok but that doesn't really help.
I've searched a lot before I opened this thread and I haven't found any document. (ony people complaining about this...)
I've got a calendar that is like this
h ttp://xyz.xyz/agendas/ical.php?ical=123456789
I just want to import that in Android's calendar and not in Google calendar's website.
Can you explain a little bit more please?
Thanks.
Subscribe to the calendar on calendar.google.com and it will show up on your phone (google calendar syncs with android calendar). You can't do this from your android device.
I said in my first post that I don't want to do this method because it only updates when it wants and no when I want
I don't think there is a real method to do it
Thanks anyway
When I set an event-based automatic rule, it doesn't seem to work. This worked fine for me on the final developer preview build (and I think at least one build before that), but it hasn't worked since I flashed the final build. I did a full format and image flash to come to MRA58K.
The rule I have set up is for an exchange calendar, but I have tested other calendars. Another interesting behavior--which may be correct, but it doesn't seem right--is that the only Google calendars appearing are my primary calendars (I have two Google accounts synced). When I go to choose the calendar, all of my exchange calendars appear, but only the primary calendars for my two Google accounts appear.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
I get the same problem on a Nexus 5X on stock (MDB08I). Although I have 4 calendars linked to my device, I am only offered one of these or all, and it did not seem to work when set to All Calendars.
No doubt there will be any update to fix it soon.
Thanks for posting. I'm glad to know it's not just me. Interesting it broke since the last preview build.
My searching for this problem just found this thread. I too am unable to get this feature to work, which is annoying!
It strikes me as odd that there aren't more people reporting this issue. If it's a bug, I would expect more reports. I only saw one other reddit discussion, but it appears to have been deleted.
I'm new to Marshmallow and I'm also struggling to get the Event rules to work, so I thought I would check in with one of the very few discussions on the subject. I'm on a Nexus 5 with stock 6.0 which was factory reset this weekend.
The weekend and weeknight rules work exactly as I expect. However the event rules ( even though I have chosen the correct calendar ) never seem to trigger.
I am wondering if it is something about the "Where Reply Is" value. I have chosen "Yes, Maybe or Not replied" but still nothing.
Am I just mistunderstanding the feature completely ? These are just normal appointments I have added into my calendar. Should I be doing something different when I create them to get them to be "seen" by the Event rule ?
Thanks,
Nige
i have the exact same issue - only shows one of my google calendars in the options, and doesn't seem to work. I don't "reply" to my calendar events, so I wonder if this is preventing it from firing.
I guess nobody has been testing this feature?
I can confirm the same behavior on a Nexus 6P, so it doesn't seem to be device specific or an update error.
I'm glad this isn't just me. I spent quite a long time separating my personal calendar from my work one so that I could have two calendars to use the event feature for meetings.
No dice
Edit: This is on a stock N5X
Same here on MXPE
I just updated my MXPE from 5.1.1 to 6.0 and I too cannot get automatic rules for events to work. I really liked that feature of the Moto tool suite and figured the move to DnD would be easy. I can see the exchange calendar that I want to watch but regardless of whether I have "yes", "yes or tentative" or yes, tentative or no" selected DnD never triggers on events in that calendar. Really hoping for a fix.
Anyone have 6.0.1 able to test if this is fixed?
Not fixed.
I have 3 accounts, so it presents me with 3 primary calendars to choose from. DND works for one of them , but not for the other two. Don't know if it's related, but the account that works is the one I entered first on initial setup, and it's the account I use for Play store.

Interesting that it's working for some but not others.
After updating to 6.0.1, my calendar list contains certain calendars that were not listed before, but my automatic rule still doesn't work. I tried deleting and recreating and saw no improvement. I did not test each individual calendar though, and the calendar I am using is an exchange calendar, so it certainly is not the first calendar to have been synced.

Moto Assist used to apply rules for my exchange account. However, with marshmallows automatic rules for events the rule is not applied. I have tried using all options for the response, deleted and created the rule from scratched all combinations. I really miss this feature and can;t believe there are not more reports of this.
DnD worked for me on my Nexus 6 running stock 6.0.1 with the February 1, 2016 security update using an exchange calendar. Switched to a Nexus 5X with stock and March 1, 2016 security. Now, DnD doesn't work with that same calendar. Such a great feature! I hope they fix this soon.
I amnrunning Marshmallow on a Nexus 6p, current version. the problem is still not fixed: i am able to choose only the first calendar or all calendars for an event trigger for automatic rules.

I recently acquired a Nexus 5x running 7.0 Nougat and I am having this same problem. I have several calendars set up for the same Google account. However, I only get options for My Calendar (which I don't use) and Any Calendar. In choosing Any Calendar, I am still getting interrupted during my meetings, which tells me my other calendars are not being included. This makes DND completely useless for me. I can't believe in all this time Google hasn't fixed this or no one has figured out why this problem is happening.... Anyone have any updates?

Update to 7.1.1
All bugs appear to be fixed with it.
I just got the upgrade to 7.1.1, but still not working...
Same here on Droid Maxx
One of my favorite features about the Motorola with Android was the Moto app, having it be able to be silenced or priority, based on any of my Google calendar events was key! I really want that back
I was having tons of problems with Google Calendar entries seeming self-deleting. It only occurred for events that I had also invited my wife to, like our weekly volleyball games. It turns out that since I share my wife's calendar to my Google account so I can view both of our upcoming appointments, the Huawei Calendar app (which can't be uninstalled, or disabled) was seeing the "duplicate" entries and trying to delete one. It always ended up deleting the entry from my calendar, which is where to invite originated, so it would end up cancelling the event for everyone. I would go into my calendar trash on the web and restore the event, only to have it self-destruct again 5-10 minutes later!
The solution:
System Settings->Apps
Find the Huawei Calendar app (the first one if you also have the stock Google Calendar app installed) and click it
Select Permissions and revoke the calendar permission (I revoked them all, since I don't want the damn app anyway!)
This will render the Huawei Calendar app useless, so you'll have to install the stock Google one, but at least it's stopped the self-destructing calendar entries that were driving me insane!
This bug hits me pretty bad. Thank you for posting!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this. I could not for the life of me figure out why only certain events (ones I also invited my wife to) were getting deleted and/or "cancelled" automatically. I had tried not syncing my Google account's calendar at all and that fixed it, but was also a pain in the ass to go to the mobile site all the time. Never would have thought to deny permissions to the EMUI calendar. Seems to have worked so far.
Thanks so much for this. I had it happen where it deleted an invite to more than a dozen colleagues.
Thanks, I thought I was going crazy. This will help me out until I can replace this phone. This software is just a joke.
Hi, I had same problem with Honor 7, but now have Honor 9 with EMUI 5.1 is this fixed in this version or still need to revoke the calendar permission ?
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is really helpful.
