I was having problems with the stock calendar app not picking up my reminders from my Google Calendar. Instead, I just installed the regular Google Calendar app however for some reason I am not getting any notifications for reminders. The reminders are definitely in the calendar, and I am notified on my other devices, however it does not seem to work on my Honor 8. Is there a setting I need to tweak to allow this?
Thanks.
Hi,
Do you have any issues with any other apps not showing notifications?
Cheers

Everyting else seems to work fine.
Is there any solution? I have exactly the same problem.
Make sure you allow calendar app full access in settings. I don't use a Google calendar app on this device. But reminders in my Google account and pushed through as well as my regular Calendar app.
This was on Android 6 and now Android 7..
Side note I also have Google Calendar sync up in Google account settings.. Check your setting to see if there similar to my ones..

So I found that the Touchwiz contacts app does not use ANY groups from google contacts but the "starred" favorites are not even stored in the Starred in Android group either.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up that I am missing? Or did samsung completely fail at google contacts integration?
There's been a couple of threads about this, but I've yet to see one with a sure-fired answer. I'd like to know also though, because I went ahead and put all my contacts that I wanted to keep on my gmail before buying the phone, and now the phone shows all of them (gmail, and sim)

Yes, Samsung screwed the pooch on this one. It installed a brain-dead Contacts app of its own instead of the stock Android Contacts app, which suppresses display of the Gmail contacts. You can't uninstall the Samsung app or reinstall the stock Android app.
The groups data apparently is being downloaded in the background during a sync with Google, but not displayed.
There is a workaround. You can try using a free third-party app from Market called Contacts Evolved. It displays your Gmail groups, including starred favorites. A bit buggy, though, with force-close issues.
I don't have a problem with the contact manager as my contacts aren't terribly organized anyways. But I do wonder what on earth the "phone" sub-group is. Does that mean it stays on my phone exclusively? Why would anyone on earth want that? defeats the whole purpose of android
Can the contacts button in the phone app trigger different contacts apps? Its shame really, I relaly like the swipe to call/text feature.
I'm having an issue where the Calendar app doesn't save the settings after a reboot.
The settings I want saved are: Hide declined events, Week starts on Monday, Pop-up notification and Default reminder time 30 minutes.
This doesn't seem to stick with the Google Calendar App (which is needed over the stock Motorola Calendar app because the stock can't invite Exchange users to an event).
I've tried with the Stock Calendar Disabled and Enabled with the same results of settings not saved after reboot.
This is just an educated guess, but do you have your Calendar set up to sync? It could be your phone/local settings are being overwritten whenever a sync is done, and a sync is being done whenever you reboot.

Sync is set for everything except Currents, Google Play Books, Movies and Magazines. Unfortunately that isn't the culprit.
So according to this forum (http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...-not-staying-personalized-when-rebooting.html), this is a known bug confirmed by the Moto guys. Not sure if it is a problem with the phone or Google Calendar app compatibility. I guess let's wait and see what happens when Google updates Google Calendar or we may just have to wait for Android 4.3 or 4.4 depending on whether they skip 4.3 or not.
I have the 11/22 driver (update 5) on the Infuse and I cannot get past the authentication screen for calendar.
After I plug in my uid/pw it says "Couldn't sign in". This must be a default message for something because when I test with an invalid credential it simply says bad uid/pw.
Does anyone have a working calendar on 4.4 ?
I had a similar problem. I downloaded the google calendar from the play store though and it seems to be working fine.
fixed by replacement

It seems that the calendar application included in gapps (green grid icon) does not work . I disabled it and downloaded the calendar application from Google:good: play (blue page folding icon) which worked without setup.
Google must have switched the application and we are still flashing with a wrong gapps.:good:
that green icon calendar is the stock android aosp calendar app. its not part of gapps, though you used to be able sync your google account with it. i dont know if you still can because they killed off google sync a while back. its still needed for other things like exchange accounts. google released a dedicated google calendar app like a year or so ago so you should use that anyways.
Thanks

If the AOSP calendar is uninstalled and the blue Google calendar installed will calendar on lock screen function properly? I'm not on 4.4 yet but just curious. Thanks!
I've noticed that the Gmail app on the SW2 doesn't seem to update all the time. I've currently only got 5 messages in there, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it - previously it was only showing 1 email.
Similar story with Messaging.
So my questions are - is there a way to force an update/push to the watch?
At this time, Gmail Smart Extra won't handle multi mail accounts even it appears to.
If it's your case, just select a single account, you'll see it syncs just fine
Then, you'll have to do a "trick" (forwarding or fetch other accounts won't work properly) to get all your other account's mails into this selected account (lemme know if you'd like me to walk you through this).
Also, if you have some sort of energy saving feature enabled on your phone, Gmail might not sync/push notifications to your SW2 as often as you wish/think...

I've got just the one Gmail account.
It's also not working for the messaging extension, either.

No Energy Saving feature enabled? ie. Sony Stamina?

After updating to 5.1 .1 (manual update) I cannot find a way to turn on lockscreen notification for Gmail (= in notification center Gmail does not show up in the application list).
Quite annoying, as I used to getting Gmail notifications under 4.4 (with NiLS widget).
- turning on built in 'email' notification is not a solution to me (I don't want to use the Huawei mail app, but want to stay with Gmail)
- unistalling (actually not possible; rather disabling and re-enabling) the Gmail app does not help
- downloading, installing Inbox solves the issue, as I can get Gmail lockscreen notifications from Inbox -but as I use Gmail for my business account, the completely random, chaotic design of Inbox does not suit my life..
- and please, don't advice the standard 'do a factory reset' ; it does not solve the issue.
Any further ideas, suggestions on this issue, please? I really do miss Gmail notifications on my lockscreen.
Hi, got same issue with my new Honor 7. No gmail notifications on LockScreen, gmail and many other pre-installed google apps aren't in Huawei Notification Center. It seems i can't remove google pre-installed apps (I tried, only delete updates)... Any ideas?
If you're rooted remove the Gmail app with SD Maid or similar, then reinstall from Play Store and it should appear on the list. I tested this successfully on B327.

Same here with the Huawei Ascend Mate 7. I can't uninstall the google apps... So, no notification on LockScreen, too.
It's just amazing how Huawei f***s up basic Android features again and again with each new firmware. So glad I switched phones ...
any news or other solution forma phone not rooted?
I got a Y6 and first of all, the "Notification Manager" shows an "Lockscreen Notification" for most app except for G-Mail of course ... which is just unacceptable but the fun thing is ... none of the installed and (directly) available Lockscreen Themes even support Notifications.
Huawei seems to feature no Quality assurance team whatsoever ... this will be my first and last Huawei phone. They can't even get the most essential and basic things right.
