Hello all,
I have been trying to find a good app/webapp to remind me about upcoming TV shows, and so far, the HTC/Sense TV app has fit the bill quite nicely. I just need to figure out one more thing .
I noticed that the reminders are added to an "HTC TV" calendar, however this calendar lives only on the device; it is not synced up to Google. My question is, is there any way to make it sync up to my Google account?
I can't help but think I'm missing some obvious button/checkmark. If there isn't such a way, has anyone figured anything like this out with Tasker?
Thanks and sorry if this is a noob-ish question!
Bump...

Dear XDA-members,
I own a Hero for some months now, and I am very pleased with it as an old Touch Diamond user.
However, there is one thing that I really miss and can't find anywhere. Not on this great forum, not on Google and not in the Market. What I really miss is a widget to show the upcoming birthdays. I know there are some widgets for that. But they all want Google Contacts. I want a widget that gets the information from my Outlook Contacts.
Hopefully someone here can help me out with pointing on a widget that can do this.
Thanks in advance

I have struggled to find a stand alone calendar for android. Jorte would be perfect except for one thing: I need repeat appointments (ex. every second Tuesday) which Jorte does not do. I've tried most others including Smooth Calendar, Ancal, Agenda Widget etc., and none of them seem to have this functionality without syncing with Google calendar or some other online calendar.
Anybody have any recommendations? Am I overlooking some alternative way of keeping a calendar without syncing? This is the one thing that is preventing me from totally going to android and ditching my WM OS.
I'm running Sagarom's super froyo ultralite.
Try emailing the jorte dev to ask for the functionality

I did that about 2 weeks ago and didn't receive a reply, but hopefully they got it and will implement it soon.
To begin with I am a very unsophisticated Android user. I downloaded the noLED app today - and seem to be able to get the Gmail, message, missed call and voicemail icons "working". I have no luck with the Email account (Yahoo) I've checked in the Others icon. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? We have poor Verizon reception where I live (1x). I use Yahoo a great deal (Ebay). Help please. PS: The Yahoo account is supposed to sync every 5 minutes...that does not seem to be the case either. Thank you - I am grateful for any suggestion(s).
I've read some news about google ditching support for WP. Now last news I've found on google were from beginning of January, and there was nothing that answered my questions.
Coming from Android, google integration is something I take for granted (gmail, contacts, calendar, tasks... you name it)
I'm asking you, WP8 users:
- What's the situation with gmail? How can you check gmail?
- Are there notifications, or do you need to 'refresh' manually?
- Are notifications on time (push) or are they checked periodically?
- Can you sync WP calendar with google calendar?
- is there anyone who knows exactly how google sync works on Android and WP, and write down differences?
I'm looking at HTC 8S and desire x for my partner but I know nothing about WP whatsoever (except that it's pretty, very much locked and closed, and some news about google removing support). I know there's no native gmail app.
I've tried searching the forums, but search has been 'temporarily down' for quite some time now.
Thanks!
ps: I know there's a thread that compares mentioned phones exactly, I've read it. I'm just curious about google sync.
Google anounced that they would cut support for new connections using Exchange ActiveSync at the end of January. Devices set up to sync with GMail before then will continue to work like before. In Mid-January that date got pushed back to July. So until July you can setup ActiveSync and keep using it after that.
It is likely that Microsoft will issue an update for WP8 before then enabling CalDAV and CardDAV-support although there are no guarantees. We also don't know wether they will add IMAP-idle to allow for GMail-Push-Mail or if you will be limited to mail checking in set intervals (this is currently already possible as an alternative to Exchange ActiveSync).
We'll have to wait how that plays out but for now nothing has changed yet.
As for your other question: Contacts, Calendars and Mails sync - Tasks to my knowledge don't.
After recently purchasing a couple of Google Home Minis I have realised that Google seem incapable of bringing their departments together to make the gadget work properly with Google Calendars. Its so embaressing as the Amazon Echo actually works better with Google Calendars .. go figure!! If anyone can offer third party integration suggestions I would be really grateful.
First thing I noticed was that if I asked for my appointments for today, tomorrow, January etc it completely ignores my all day events .... I'm in the UK and I found a workaround for this by setting the language in the Google Home app to English (United States), apparently the U.S.A get new software versions earlier, indeed after this tweak in settings the Google Assistant recognises and reads out all day events.
The above regional fix however does not offer a solution for adding an all day event. The Google assistant does not recognise ' hey google add a new all day event' it still insists on asking for a time and if you say 'all day' for the time, it does not accept - anyone have a workaround or solution for this?
One other very annoying ommission is lack of integration with Google Keep. If I access my calendar via web browser, Googe Keep is tightly integrated for lists and nots, yet the Google Home team who seem to lacking a single iota of common sense have completley ommitted the option to use Google Keep for notes, lists and shopping list. - can anyone offer a solution or workaround?
The last and equally as annoying is if I say for example 'hey google what are my appointments for January' the reply is something like 'you have 8 appointments in January, here are your first 3' - who at Google in their infinite wisdom decided that everyone on the planet will only need to hear their next 3 appointments? Actually beginning to think that the people driving Google Home do NOT have an single grain of common sense between them. - Anyone have a solution or work around?
There are some other gripes like when adding an apointment using voice I don't have the option of adding a location, which is very important quite often I find....
Apologies for long-winded post wanted to put it all out there in case anyone would like to share solutions, altertive solutions to Google Calendar or thoughts....
I second all you've said. No integration with G Suite calendars either. Had to return mine.
