Built-in Calendar Won't Save Preferences - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The built in calendar won't save any preferences on reboot. (ATT Galaxy Note 3, KitKat). No matter how may times you change the preferences (like turning off alerts, changing the view, etc.) it will always go back to default on any reboot. I also have Google Calendar installed, that one saves the preferences just fine after reboot. I'm not rooted. Any thoughts as to either disable this calendar app (you can't, since it's grayed out and won't allow it to be turned off) or make it save these preferences for good?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have those along with status, phone status, SD Card, and Field Test on one of my screens.
Testing, brings up Phone information & Battery information
AnyCut is cool but I want to make something that has all that information in a collective app that i can just click and obtain info. A report would be nice too, like with the network diagnostics tool in BlackBerry OS.
Anyone know if there is a way to bring up a certain contact. I know its possible to make a direct call/sms shortcut. But i would like to be able to open the contact and then select call or sms. I dont like making 2 shortcuts for 1 contact

having used this before and creating a few short cuts. But creating this pic mes short cut is driving me mad. can it be done

Steps to Personalize your Phone after Flasing

Hi, I was making this list for myself, so I can quick personalize my phone after flashing without forgetting something.
So I thought: why not share it with you guys
Steps to personalize your phone.
1. Align screen > Text Size
2. Connection setup Wizard
3. SASHIMI autocab install + Reg
4. Make Contact card
5. Make Owner Information > Put XT9 on your language
6. Set up Backlight and Timing
7. Regional Settings
8. Set up Timezone and date (maybe set up alarm)
9. Phone ID (settings > about > Device name)
10. Active Sync Syncroniseren (for your contacts, agenda items etc.)
11. PIMbackup (for retrieving text messages) > No email
12. Set up mail account and syncronisation time
13. Order Touch Flow tabs
14. Set up HD tweak
15. TOM sms settings
16. Task manager settings (x button setting)
17. Set up your home-softkeys (\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila)
18. Set up favorite contacts
19. Ringtones, sms tones (settings for retrieving sms, email etc)
20. Themes, wallpapers, taskbar etc.
21. Sort your Start menu icons (wm 6.5) or program tab
So I think this was it If I forgot something, I will edit.
I hope this is any help to you guys
Can't you setup this all with SASHIMI?
Yes you can. Once you have set up Sashimi there is no need to do any further setting up. Emails, texts, software, settings etc etc is all perform during initial setup after flash.
Threads already on Sashimi exist like this one
No need for another thread

[Tutorial] How to Disable S Planner (correctly)

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.
This issue was related in the following threads :

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.....

Battery optimization - problems with background sync

Hi
First of all I have the chinese variant. So I don't know if the settings are a little different than on the global variant.
On Oreo I found two different battery settings.
The first one is in Apps&notifications - See all apps - select an app - Battery - Battery optimization. If the developer adjusted his app for Oreo battery optimization, you can select this. In some cases you can also activate "Background activity" here. I have no idea what these settings mean exactly and how they influence background sync and activity.
The second settings are in Battery - Background activity manager. There you can active "Auto Active" and "Lock Screen" per App.
So let's talk about my issue. If I set "battery optimization" in the first settings, it will disable background sync in the corresponding app. For example I open Google Calendar, active sync there, close the app. Open it after maybe 30min it will tell me sync is disabled. Also with this setting I won't get any Whatsapp messages if the app isn't in the foreground.
If I activate both options in the second setting it will work. What I don't get: With some apps these options change the first setting. Some apps stay at "battery optimization" and some apps fall back to "not optimized"
However I think with these settings the apps use more battery.
Anyone tried these settings? And tested the different possibilities?
Why is it so hard to do battery optimization and still get push messages in Gmail oder Whatsapp? Why I have to manually change settings to get this working?
Thanks for your answers!
Obvious step is to set every possible app to battery optimization mode (that's your first one). It's not possible to turn this on for every app (some simply needs to stay on all the time). Battery optimization doesn't disable sync for apps immediately, but only when device is in deep sleep. Also u can blacklist some of them (that's your second option) which drain more battery even with optimization option turned on. Try to blacklist apps which u don't use so frequently and u don't need to check for notifications so often.
I use those settings, keep few apps that need more of my attention, rest is blacklisted.

Question Gmail app will not show notifications

Hi all,
I'm having to resort to posting here before I pull all of my hair out.
I'm running stock MIUI 13(.0.10). In the Gmail app, my account settings have notifications set to 'all'. The 'manage notifications' button that brings up the system settings has notifications enabled (sound, vibrate on). Sync is set to last 30 days, and enabled. General settings > manage notifications has everything enabled through the system settings as well. Apps > Gmail > Battery Saver is set to no restrictions.
What am I missing? It's not that it's not alerting to notifications but they still appear, they are just not present at all. I manage multiple inboxes through my primary Gmail account, and this is hugely annoying.
