I cannot create new events in the stock calendar app. If I try to add an event when I select save the following message pops up:
"Loading Calendars"
>Insert circle that rotates similar to an hour glass
And that message with the rotating circle will stay there indefinitely if I let it.
Any ideas on what would cause this? I also have Yahoo, Outlook and Google calendars that I cannot get to sync with the stock calendar app.
All set. The issue was in the "All Apps" tab "Calendar Storage" was disabled. My first thought was to go into the app and select enable but that button was missing so I went to the 3-dot menu in the top-right cornet and selected "Reset App Preferences" which enabled Calendar Storage. I then launched the calendar app and it works fine now

I am not sure what is going on here.
Firstly, I use GMAIL as my email account.
I have on my home screen the icon for my mail. However, in the top left hand corner of my home screen is the @ symbol and it tells me I have 100+ email messages, but when I look at my actual email icon on the home screen, there is no notification of any new emails.
When I drag down the @ symbol from the top left hand corner of my screen to look at the 100+ emails, it shows me my inbox, but there are no new messages, just the messages I have already checked and read.
Is their a way to eliminate the @ symbol notification system and only use the widget on the home screen to inform me of new incoming messages real time?
Thank you,
Whiteice
The notification with @ is from Gmail app. the shortcut on your homescreen is from HTCmail.
So if you get a notification like @ then open Gmail app. then you will see your mails.
you can disable this notification in the settings for Gmail.
Also try to manually synchronize your gmail application : use the menu button to refresh or go to the setup to disable the notifications.
I have always had inconsistent push notifications for gmail and wondered if there was an app i could put on my home screen which would force a gmail sync?...As of now, I have to open gmail, hit menu and refresh whenever I suspect my push notifications have stopped...
better cut -> activity -> data sync. That will take you to the main settings menu where you would just have to toggle the check box and it will force a sync.
im pretty sure the free cersion of wisync plus has this too
Hi there,
Can someone tell me how I change the default app that is used to open text messages?
When I downloaded ChompSMS, I chose that as the default app, but I'd like to change that to Handcent SMS.
Thanks very much,
Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>chompsms then select the clear defaults button
Thanks very much - so how do I go about setting a new default?
the next time you open a message or anything related to messaging, your sammy will ask which app you want to use.. just check the "use by default for this action"

You see, that's what I hoped too.
But I've tried clicking on the Messaging icon and not getting a pop up box. It's just opening up in the standard app.
nope.. not the messaging icon.. because that messaging icon is a shortcut for the built in messaging app..
it must be a messaging "action" like clicking on a "send sms" button on the phonebook...
and also.. if you are referring on the messaging icon on 4 icons at the bottom, you must replace the default messaging icon (shortcut) with the handcent icon..
^instructions: click the applications icon -> menu -> edit -> drag the handcent icon/shortcut to replace the default messaging icon/shortcut
Ah ok, that makes sense. Think I've got it now ... cheers
One last question - is there a way of reverting the icon used for 'Messaging' to its default state?
you mean returning the default messaging shortcut at the bottom? yes you can, you'll notice that when you've replaced it with the handcent shortcut, the default messaging shortcut went to the applications menu. just do the same instructions to replace the handcent shortcut with the default shortcut..
since you'll be using handcent, disable the notifications of the default messaging app & use handcent's notification..
How can I disable notifications on the original notifications? I dont have any...please see my attached pictures...after settings, there is no notification settings for me to uncheck...ive transferred Handcent to the 4 main home button on the menu. but on the original messenger on the applications where i transfered it, it still has a number that its still receiving messages
curious tho. i've tried to drag the handcent app over the messaging app, once in the "applications" page. and it does nothing but let me throw it away..i desperately want to change the "messaging app" also one of the 4 apps at bottom, and make it the handcent. please help! thanks

If you don't see the Edit icon when you click the menu button, make sure you select Customizable List, then Menu, and you'll see the Edit button. Now drag the new icon the the menu bar.

I would like to ask how to set my blinkfeed to mobile data and wifi instead of WiFi Only. When i go to the setting of blinkfeed, in the auto refresh, its only wifi only, and the button is disabled. Any trick on how to enable it?

Actually I just noticed that my auto refresh is also grayed out... in my case it's set to "Using mobile data or wifi" but the button itself is gray and not selectable so I can't change it! I wonder how that happened...
It would be nice to be able to change it... I wonder if this has anything to do with changes to "Accounts and sync" recently made to deal with my invisible exchange account problem which is now fixed... maybe related.
If anyone else has seen this, please post.
SOLVED
*slaps forehead*
I just needed to enable Auto sync under "Accounts and sync"... now I can select the auto refresh option for blinkfeed and also no more "weather data not available" message either...

I'm talking about the "Auto sync" toggle at the very top of the "settings -> Accounts & sync" page... meaning after you first tap on Accounts & sync, look at the very top area and make sure that "Auto sync" is checked -- meaning set to "ON" with the blue color showing as switched on.
It applies to all accounts -- meaning it's not "Blinkfeed specific", but yet it appears it must be checked in order for Blinkfeed to auto-update properly.
It's right above the text that says "MANAGE ACCOUNTS" in small dark gray capital letters on the Accounts & sync page.
That's what "turned Blinkfeed back on" for me.

Ye, the settings for blinkfeed are in the app itself, where you select topics and services but I thought you had it show up in accounts and sync from how you wrote it lol .. The no weather data available and my location bit really annoy me because often my data isn't strong enough or if the phones been asleep, that it often says this on the lockscreen and on blinkfeed until I manually refresh or turn wifi on ... Probably the one thing I hate about stock because if you don't use data or weather etc you have no way of stopping it showing that which bugs me to say the least.
Dear fellow xda members,
You might have noticed, it is impossible to use the "turn off" option for S planner, therefore one has to find a way to instal another calendar app without the annoying double reminders/ double notifications effect. I came across this problem and found a simple workaround that doesn't require root.
Here's how :
1- Open S planner
2- Hit the upper right corner (options) and go to calendars
3- Un-tick all the calendars
4- Hit setting and disable all reminders and notifications
5- Go to Settings/app settings/all and find the 2 "S Planner" entries
6- For first S Planner entry hit "force close", "turn off" and "clear data"
7- For the second entry hit "force close" and "clear data" (unfortunately there is no possibility to turn this one off)
8- Instal Google Calendar from the Maket or any other calendar app and voila !
I like S planner but I had to stop using it because there is no way to activate an auto reminder setting. So if you forget to set it manual when you create your event, it won't be reminded to you in advance. I know Google Calendar and MIUI calendar have this option.

Hope this helped
There is a problem with your step 7.
If you hit "clear data" then all the settings for the app will be reset, which means the "untick all calendars" in step 3 and notifications setting in step 4...everything will be back to normal ...so its useless to do "clear data"..
Even if you do just force stop in step 7, and when you install google calendar the splanner will trigger and continue to run in background(and will import all the calendars again) but will not disturb you if you disabled the notifications in the app...So technically its still running in the background as google calendar....only thing is its not notifying you if you have disabled that setting.....
