Hey everyone,
I've just picked up my new Pixel 2 today and it's great but...the At A Glance widget doesn't seem do anything except show my calendar. Long press doesn't do anything and there is no options for it in the home settings.
Any suggestions?
Edit: ignore this. I've just had updated my apps and it now seems to be fine
I'm having an issue as well. It is only displaying the day, month, and weather. I have things on my calendar but it never displays them. My appointments will show up in the notification bar but not on the home screen. Any ideas?
I've already long pressed and made sure my calendar events were enabled.

I'm having the same issue on on Pixel 2XL
I think what worked for me was allowing Google Now access to my upcoming events and location info. If you go to the Google Now screen and play around with the settings there it should work.
So I added a test event in the calendar app and it worked. So am I to assume that only events created within the app will show?
I contacted support and they verified my theory. It will only display events created within the app. If it gets added via the web or any other means, it will not show.
So, if a colleague creates an appointment and invites me as guest, the event is shown in my calender (as usual) but At-A-Glance won't show it??
And how do you toggle the weather to be shown or not to be shown? Long press only offers me calendar events and traffic info.

Regarding the weather. Try going to your google now feed and hitting the 3 dots in the top right corner. Then look for "customize feed" and hit that. Then scroll down and under "weather" hit "view all settings". Then where it says "weather updates for your location" turn it on. If it is already on, turn it off then back on. Now go back to your google now feed and pull down to refresh the feed. Now go back to your home screen and you should see the weather. As far as turning it off I think you can just turn off the "weather updates for your location" setting but I think you need to reboot to make the weather disappear.

That's dumb. I rarely if ever create an appointment from my phone. I usually do it from the web on my desktop. It should read from your Google Calendar regardless of where you enter it from.

My at a glance widget displays events added via the web, not just created within the app. It only displays the events starting shortly before the event. However, the widget appears to behave differently for different people.
Support is not the most reliable source of information.
I had this issue with my brand new Pixel 2, But I fixed it. To fix it first go to the Google app page in setting then go to the storage, manage space and then clear all data. After disable it enable it and it should start work.

Jesus... This is pretty darn handy for school.
Testing it now!
very handy...wish this had been around sooner as I bought Tasker and configured a bunch of profiles to serve the same purpose as what this app seems to do much more simply. Looks great
Not bad
How about Touchdown support? That would make this incredibly handy for Exchange users!

Touchdown actually does not sync anything to the device.
since this app read local synced events it can't read Touchdown settings or data (events for that matter).
If you wish to use Exchange calendar you can always sync your exchange account to the device using ActiveSync like this
settings -> accounts and sync -> add account -> Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
once you synced you device this app will be able to read Exchange calendar.
anyway thanks for the advice and ill try to add support for remote Exchange
update:
i added an "add new calendar account " button in settings for those who don't have their account configured
I bought the full version but just can't get it to work.
I went to "Events list" and pressed menu > Update from calendar, and I can see all my events in the list. But it just says "will schedule - event".
Then I go to the "Filters list" and see "all. schedule", yet my phone does not go silent when my events start.
The on/off button is very confusing. When the button is red and says "off", does it mean that it is off, or that I should press it if I wish to turn it off?
Thanks!

Hi.
the on/off button indicate the current state, meaning when the button is green and it's say "on" that mean that auto schedule is enabled
"all schedule" is the default filter that indicate that all events will be scheduled.
please pay attention that even event will be scheduled automatically only if the on/off button is in "on" state.
Pay attention that Calendar Silencer will not schedule events that already in progress, for example if you have event that start in 12:00 and you started the auto schedule in 12:05 the event will not be schedule.
if you enabled notifications please notice that the notification will disappear once the event has started, pressing the notification will clear the notification but also will cancel the alarm
let me know if have any more problems
Still nothing.

What am I missing?
MIUI rom HTC Desire.
*edit*
It was MIUIs fault, thanks for the support Swarly!
The app now works brilliantly! Highly recommended!
fix for MIUI Rom
Disable option Settings>Programs>Calls>Anti wiretapping and it should work
I've been using a different app that seems to have this same feature set, and has been around longer.
How is this better than other competing apps that perform the same functions?

I cant compare these competing apps you are talking about because i don't know exactly what apps are you talking about .
I can answer you this:
before i wrote this app i looked in the market for something that will fulfill these requirements:
easy to use
work with synced calendars like exchange or Gmail calendar
will have to option to fire and forget
i downloaded several apps including paid ones and I couldn't find what i was looking for.
the ones that was simple couldn't work with synced calendars.
and those who could work with synced calendars were overkill ( profile apps that could do almost anything ) were to complicated to operate and demanded a lot of configurations and frustration.
So I decided to do my best to fulfill the goals i wrote to myself and try to keep it as simple as possible .
Because I cant look at every tool/app that exist in the market there may be an app out there that does serve the same functionality , but odds are that it either not do exactly the same or is a lot more complicated then this one.

Swarly
error during level 2
i've been using tasker but recently i starder cleaning my app list and noticed that i was using a mighty appp like tasker for just silencing the phoe when i was "busy" in my calendar.
i found your app which probably does what i want but i got intro trouble with it. i get an error when i try to turn it on (error during level 2) and the app crashes when i want to switch to the events tab (second tab).
also i haven't been able to test the filter option: i just want my phone to go silent when o am "busy" in the calendar - that's it. does the filter option allow for such a setup?
I've been looking for something like this since I first got an android phone THanks!

hi
Unfortunately busy mode is not yet supported in this app but its a good idea i will add asap.
please check the program version I'm updating and fixing bug almost on daily basis.
the current program version is 1.2.24
additionally if you can please report the problem using the report error button so i can have an idea about where to start looking for problems
about the error please let me know what kind of device you have
finally I started my semester and once the courses started i found some bugs and problems with my app
* fixed bug for overlapping event
* fixed bug with contact exception functionality
* minor bugs regarding event scheduling were fixed
I'll publish another big update soon that will be focused on performance.
as promised I released big update
major Performance update - from now list load faster and scroll much smother
overlaping event detection method was changed from the core from now no more false detection that caused problems
added warings to warn users that don't have calendars installed
as always I"m open to new suggestions and improvement ideas
For about a week, my email tile on the homepage has failed to launch the email. It just refreshes the screen back to the previous page (hoempage). I tried from All Apps menu as well, same, it refreshes the screen and takes me back to all apps.
My text messages tile shows no new messages, but when I dont have service and failed messages it still turns to a sad face. Right now, I have new texts that I have not checked but the tile just shows a happy face, no notifications.
Mail tile always shows 1, even if I read an unread mail item (once it finally lets me open mail).
When contacts call, their name does not show up, only the number.
I was also having a problem launching People information when I selected a contact, it would fail as well and refresh the screen.
Media messages have always come in as "Get media content" links and would never download. I think this is a seperate issue.
I have all the latest updates.
I made a post here to someone with a similar thread: http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows...nly-stopped-launching-htc-8x.html#post1825365
Hi guys,
I am facing a strange issue since I installed the latest update on my S7. The notifications for S Planner events, that are shown when you pull down the top menu disappear after 1 hour. It used to stay there until I cleared them out manually.
I also tried Business Calendar 2 pro. Same thing happens there.
This is very annoying as I leave the notifications there until I deal with them and if they disappear I just forget that I was supposed to take care of something.
I was trying to find the setting that is controlling this with no luck. I really hope that this is a matter of setting or a bug.
Could someone help me with this please?
Thank you.
Same here. I have installed Google calendar - the same happens.
Any solutions anyone?
same here.
i also tried google calendar, but it does the same-
the reminders disappear after the event's time is up
====================================================
EDITED - Solution
I found a workaround solution: i installed "Events Notifier for Calendar".
One of the app's features is configuring how a reminder stops: manually stopped, when the event starts or when the event ends.
So now i can still see my reminder notifications, even when they disappear from the calendar notification since their time was up.
Bump. Anyone figure this out yet?
Google search (with quotes): "Samsung or Google Have Screwed Up the S Planner App".
You can try Samsung's alternate UI, "Good Lock"
It has two tabs in your notification pull down where you can store notifications you want to save for later.
Next to the Google search shortcut on your main home screen, my Pixel shows date and day. I see others shows weather. How to change that?
You need to go to google now and set it to keep updating you on weather conditions:
1. Swipe to the utmost right on home screen to reach google now (now called Feed, whatever...)
2. Swipe right once again to access the "hamburger" menu
3. Choose customise, then Everything else
4. Choose Yes for the following options:
Interested in weather updates for home?Interested in weather updates for work?Interested in weather updates for your location?Continue to get weather updates?
This will make the weather card visible in the Feed which will automatically make the homescreen widget display the weather info
I did all that but still doesn't show up. It worked before but since I factory reset the phone it doesn't show up any more. Any advise?
Does the weather card appear on the feed though? Ou need to make it appear on the feed first. There's a switch in the Feed settings about weather, maybe that's turned off in your phone?
I've got everything on, and it's showing in the feed, But not on my home screen

In my case, turning those options on (I had them off) instantly enabled the weather in the homescreen. Have you tried a restart after setting those options to yes?

You need to update the Pixel Launcher. I had to update it via a PC as it was not working on the play store on my phone.
Installed it on my phone through the PC and it updated the weather within seconds.

Oh yeah, good shout! I updated mine too
Update through Play store on internet, pushing it again to the pixel phone triggered the update on the pixel
Thnx all
I updated all those except for location at home & work (those just seem repetitive with "my location" marked as yes) & it showed up for me.
So I have a daily recurring event set up to remind me to do something every day. In the morning when the notification pops up I always just dismiss it. What's weird is that on the ambient display, the event still shows until the event time has passed (8am). It shows even after I've dismissed the reminder. I have no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts?
I noticed this last night. I believe you can long press on the Date/Weather widget > preferences > uncheck the option(s). I just changed mine this morning so I can't confirm but I think that'll change it.
i'm not sure which widget you're referring to. i don't have any on my home screen.

It's the default date and weather widget on the default pixel launcher at the top of the home screen.

Correct, guessing you can access the setting somewhere else but that is the only place I am familiar with.
You can get to that sub menu from the main launcher settings too. And if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you'd have to temporarily change your launcher back to stock pixel launcher to get to those settings
