[Q] Syncing to google calendar? - Nook Color General

Has anyone gotten this to work on the NC yet? I'm somehow able to see calendars that people share with me, but I cannot see my own. They are all sharing just fine with my iphone, but they dont show up on my NC. I can see them and check them off, but nothing displays on the default calendar or on calwidget.
Has anyone run into this?

Agreed
Yep... I've got the same issue with mine.

Hmm... that sucks... well, I guess I COULD just create a second google account, set up my calendars there, then share them with my primary account... but that's almost more trouble that it's worth.

SOLVED
OK - researched a little more - check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10122405#post10122405 and look at DocFreed's post - it's so simple and stupid, yet it works

Fantastic! Thank you. I'm currently wifi-less so i'll test that once I get home

Calendar sync not working on G1 with Cyanogen 4.0.2

Hi , I hope someone will be able to help me:
I have a rooted G1 which runs Cyanogen 4.0.2 ROM, before this one 4.0.1.
Everything went fine until yesterday or the day before, when I noticed my calendar wasn't up to date anymore. I connected the G1 to my pc and started 'adb logcat', this is what is logged when trying to sync the calendar:
(note that I have replaced my real email with [email protected] for privacy reasons)
Code:
D/SyncManager( 146): failed sync operation authority: calendar account: [email protected] extr
delay: 0 key: {authority: calendar account: [email protected] extras: [force=true ]} rowId: 1
After some searching I found this problem mentioned before but no concrete solution to this...
I've tried clearing the calendar cache as described here to no avail.
I also tried a complete system wipe but the same problem persisted.
To make sure that it wasn't something at the google server I fired up my HTC magic which is still running stock software, and it synced fine right away.
So this definitely has to do something with my G1, only if anyone could point me in the right direction...
BTW:
Gmail and contacts sync goes just fine!
Thnx in advance!
Cyanogen calendar sync...
Hi all,
Exact same problem here, HTC Magic. I am new to the hacking, rooting, cracking in the android world but installing Cyanogen 4.0.2 was very easy with recovery flasher. ( http://gizmodo.com/5341915/android-hacking-for-the-masses)
I can not speak for any other versions but this version is great except for the sync of Google calendar. This also explained why my battery did not last for a day while is was doing nothing much. Calendar kept syncing without result but was trying all the time.
I hope that Cyanogen can fix this and if he can not or will not that's ok with me. I a happy that there are people who can make things better than they originally were. Good job! However calendar is important to me so perhaps i will switch to another ROM.
@bunster:
Are getting the same error when start 'adb logcat'?
Thanks for mentioning the battery life part, mine had bad battery live to but I failed to make the link to the sync problem, I was on the verge of replacing my battery LOL!
Just upgrade to 4.0.3.1 this morning, problem persisted
@Bunster: Are you using google hosted apps or a regular gmail account?
Because a colleague of mine also has Cyanogen 4.0.2 running on his G1, and his calendar syncs fine, the only difference is that he's using a regular gmail account while I'm using hosted apps account...
I have the same problem.
Previously with JF 1.5 the same calendar of my google account was syncing just fine.
Hope there is a solution soon..

Updated to 4.0.4, problem not gone...
I found something else:
When looking at the logcat output there's a URL in there which points to one of my calendars (there are URL's for each of my calendars - 5 in total). And when I try to enter this URL into my browser, it tells me that '[email protected]' doesn't have the necessary rights to view that calendar.
However I am the admin of my domain so I should be able to view all my calendars...

Like I said a colleague of mine has 4.0.2 on his G1 and he doesn't have any calendar sync problems...
There has to be something else involved...

Yeah, nothing good however...
Check this link.
It's an issue that has been file on the GoogleCode page for CyanogenMod ROM.
If look at Steve's (=Cyanogen) post you'll see what i mean:
4.0.4 won't be updated. Any calendar/sync related issues for the next release should
be reported as an Android (Google) bug.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So he's basically saying it's not his fault but a Calendar bug and we have to take it up with Google.
Google off course won't do sh*t about this since it works perfectly on stock ROMs and even other custom ROMs.
As a software developer/tester I can understand that this bug is situated in the Calendar app itself, and since Cyanogen received the C&D letter from Goog he can't/does not want to modify and/or distribute this app.
However, since this only occurs on his ROM, it must be something he did that triggers this bug. So what I'd like to see from Cyanogen, isn't a fix in the calendar app, but rather a workaround in his ROM...
I've read that deleting all recurring events will 'fix' the problem, however that's not an option for me since I use a seperate calendar to store all birthday dates for friends and family in (birthdays being off course yearly recurring events, under normal conditions )
I hope Cyanogen reads this and will provide a fix somehow.
As I said i'm a software developer and I know it's f*ucking frustrating if you have to deal with other people's mess, but I think it's clear we shouldn't expect a fix from Google on this one...
so let's hope only in a cyanogen work... it seems to be the only solution for continue to use this fantastic rom with the calendar sync...

That's a depressing reply.
How its possible that some ppl can sync and some not?
Is there any other application which sync the calendar?

Asurion address book out!

Write Asurion in Market and download the address book and the mix ins you want to get installed...
Amazing app, let's see how it develops...
im gonna bumb this cause this app is pretty cool. It connects all your contacts with facebook and twitter or w/e social network u use. It takes a couple min to setup and sync all your contacts though. I liked the notifications that it gave you for each contact. I did find it a little slow and the interface isnt really apealing. All in all, its pretty good just needs work on the interface and on the speed as well...
Havin some difficulty figuring out how to set up different notifications.
Pictures for contacts dont update with the FB page.
Ugly UI.
But to be honest the FB portion is better than the FB app. Its worth it for that alone. Alot of functionality seemingly. Absolutely needs to be streamlined.
still too laggy for daily use. it froze my phone for a good 4 minutes.
I messed with it a little. Seemed to be really slow on my G1 with CM 4.1.999.
My personal faveorite contacts app is still StarContact - I just wish they'd update it... I'd at least like to see contact photos. I hate it when good apps go abandoned.
As it stands it certainly isnt an Addybook replacement by any means.
I do hope they stick with it.
This is easily replacing my phonebook. I love it! I don't know what these other people are talking about with lag, but on cyan 4.2.2 it is phenomenal! I am blown away by it and am so glad something similar to voxmobiles upcoming effort has come out.
i'd love to try it out, unfortunately it seems it's not yet available here in germany - at least not for me
if someone could pass it on to it'd be much appreciated
cheers
anyone have a direct link? I can't find it in the market. Thanks!
Yeah I cant find it either.
I read in one of the market comments that it doesn't sync with Google, is that true?
cant find this in the market i found the you tube and speed dialer but no address book. anyone have a link?
Those of you who can't find it, where do you live. My buddy from Canada couldn't find it either. Might be a regional issue but I'm not sure.

Also have T-Mobile USA and found it. Search for Asurion.
It's a great app, but I found it has issues with the MixIn settings. It still gives notifications even though I disable them. It appears other people have issues with the settings as well that want to change update intervals so they don't use so much data. Keep in mind this is still in beta. Can't wait for an update.
can't find it. I have t-mobile USA. searched asurion and only the speed dialer and you tube mix in shows up. I'm running xrom if that helps. even if i try getting the link straight form the website, it doesn't show up. weird.

[Q] Which email program do you use? (gmail users)

Which email program do you use? Do you use the gmail app, the email app, or a separate application?
I personally prefer the look and functionality of the email app, but the quickness of the gmail app and it's push gmail notifications.
anyone else?
Personally, I don't care for either of the email apps on the phone. I use K9 for everything.

k9 you say. i'll look into that.
Don't use the version that's in the Android Market. It's actually an older version. If you search for it on Google, you can get the code.google.com page with the latest version and then Sideload it onto your phone. I believe the latest is 3.102.
Edit: I stand corrected, it's now 3.105

Heh, I already had it downloaded before i read this, but I put the newest version on like you said and the one issue I had is fixed already.
On the market version, it wasn't going directly to my inbox. on the 3.105 it does. I really like this app. thanks for the suggestion.
Anytime
It seems to fill in the voids left by the default Email app that comes with the phone.
I use mail droid but it's still in beta, I can't get links to open the browser sometimes. It does supposedly work with microsoft exchange servers. I'll look into k9

When i tried K9 a month ago, it was agonizingly slow - attributed to the phone lag by most.
Are you guys seeing the lag, or do you have the lag fix installed? Maybe K9 changed something?
Also, have they added real PUSH/Sync yet for Gmail and Exchange or are they still polling and doing WebDav stuff?
Do you have a link for it or what you actually searched for in google, I can not seem to find it.
thanks!

I switched from using the Gmail and Email apps to K-9. So far I prefer it because of the options and the integrated inbox w/ push for my gmail account.

Thanks, I was thinking it was a google product and was searching for the wrong thing. Just installed it and looks pretty good so far.

Unfortunately, it's still not real push yet, but the app itself does seem to be pretty fast now. But I have it poll every 2 hours and that works fine for me.
Edit: They also seem to be churning out lots of bug fixes and releasing the updated version pretty fast. It went from 3105 to 3107 as of 8 hours prior to this edit.
I have tried quite a few as the stock left a lot to be desired. I used Maildroid,while good, it was very slow for me. I tried Seven until I noticed it sent an international mms everytime you added an account and doesn't do HTML emails. Now I'm down to K-9 which I like, just visually unappealing.
I guess its just trial and error until you find features you like.
After reading this thread I downloaded k9 and I do agree its better than maildroid. It gives the notification faster (i have both running right now) and the universal mailbox is icing on the cake. Thanks guys!

I honestly don't love any mail client. I tried K9, but it is terribly ugly and more importantly than that, it doesn't do pinch zoom smoothly at all. The samsung app is very attractive looking, but its slow as hell and doesn't do push for gmail. Ultimately, I am currently sticking with the gmail app. Since no other app does what I want anyway, I figure why not use the fastest one? With push for gmail and faster performance, I'll switch back to the stock samsung app...maybe in a new version? I guess we'll see...
If only the Gmail app would let you select/copy text from the messages...

I never knew that, then again, never tried to do it.
And for those who say K9 isn't very visually appealing, if it works, and does what you need when you need it to, then I can't see a reason to complain. You could say the same about a car, if it's your only choice, and it gets you from point A to point B in one piece and on time, you take it.
I dunno man, I bought a mercedes cause I like the comfort, it's stylish, and because I simply won't be caught driving a hyundai. Having said that, I just installed K9 and it's pretty ugly, more like driving a kia I suppose. Uninstalling now. Stock gmail app for me it is!

[Q] Issues with G1 add account. please help.

So I installed the CyanogenMod-6 on my G1, and when I start the phone, it doesnt give me the "first time start-up" walkthrough, nor can i manually add an account in settings. it gives me a weird "add server info" page i've never seen before.
This also happened with Super-E, so I know it's not the ROM. I can't imagine what I could have done to the phone to make it glitch out like this.
It runs, I just cant add an account, or see certain button presses light up.
I searched through the forums but came across nothing. anyone got an idea?
thanks in advance.
I deeply apologize. it's late at night and I had never experienced the add account in the form of the exchange setup method.
I got it all figured out and it is running well. Once again, I apologize. Thread may be deleted.

Read it Later type apps

So, Pocket doesn't work with NST, and Readability installs but doesn't run. Instafetch runs, but I can't get it to sync with Instagram. Has anyone gotten this, or any of the others, to work?

Awesome
Thanks. This works perfectly for me.

I was really hoping Pocket would work but it doesn't so I tried all the suggestions and other services. The last one I tried worked the best. I installed Instapaper and am using Instafetch for the Nook. It works great. All the other clients made me scroll through the articles which was super annoying because it was hard to see the place where I left off. Instafetch was the only one which can turn pages like a regular e-reader. And the Nook buttons were correct. The others may have this ability but I did not figure it out.
Love being able to load articles on the Nook. Longreads.com is a nice place to find stuff.
Just to add, I've installed Readit and I love it, but for whatever reason I can't delete articles which I find is quite a bummer. I use my iPod touch which is always near me to delete my articles. I think it's okay. However, if anyone knows how to delete some articles, if you could share the tip to me, would be nice. Otherwise, this app is amazing!

Search for an older version of Read It Later (anything before the pocket launch), and install the .apk file manually; It will run fine on the nook.

You can use "clear database". On the main screen (with the 6 icons) press the virtual "menu" button to get this option.
