Issues with Calendar on Blinkfeed and lockscreen notifications

Hello guys
As it is written on the thread name I just cant get my Calendar entries to show on Blinkfeed.
Furthermore my eMails from my Gmail account arent showing up on the lockscreen despite having it setted as "Productivity"
I hope some can help me, becaue those issues really bug me a lot.
Thanks

Are you using the stock mail and calendar apps? Blinkfeed and the productivity lock screen only pull data from the stock apps.

Ok I use Gmail for my Mail account.That explains the lockscreen issue.thanks for that!
Is it right that with Android 4.2 we can use lockscreen widgets,so i can customize with Gmail?
In case of the calendar issue I am using the stock app,which was preloaded on the HTC One. Any more suggestions why it doesnt show up?

for the first question that'll depend. android 4.2.2 stock comes with lockscreen widgets. whether HTC decides to add them to their lockscreen setup is a completely other issue lols.
as for your second issue. check the blinkfeed topics and services section. scroll to the left and see what services you have toggled on. you have to have calendar on for it to show. it shows fine for me. also it does not pre-show events you have coming up only when the event is happening at that moment. so i have my calendar setup for my classes. say i have class at 3pm. blinkfeed will not tell me i have a class coming up at 3pm if i update it at 1pm. it will show up though when i update my blinkfeed around 3:20pm though. An interesting tid bit is if you have way too many topics and facebook stuff your calendar blinkfeed will get pushed down and you wont see it. (IE it wont have priority space on the blinkfeed area)
hopefully that helps explain it a bit.

Thanks for answering, but it still doesn't work. I guess it's my blinkfeed,which is bugged somehow and I can't see a way to get in working despite trying hard. Maybe I just have to live with this and adapt to it or wait for an update to fix this bug

Are you on a stock ROM? Or custom? I'm on ordroid 5.0.0 and it works fine. Are you sure your Google calendars are updating? Do you see stuff when you go into the calendar app?

It seems that Blinkfeed only show the calendar entries that is due for today. Try adding something in your calender for today and reboot your phone. It should show then.

Hey guys,
I know that this isn't a new topic, but I having some problems with my HTC ONE.
My calendar doesn't show the events, events is in it`s data base, but still not showing in application.
When i use search i can found my events.
My HTC is updated to android 4.3
I've tried to reconfigure the accounts, but have no effect.
I using the default application, that came with the phone.
Someone knows what I need to do for correct this issue?
Below some screenshots.

Same issue
I have "Contacts Birthday's and Events" calendar subscribed in my Gmail and I maintain the birthday dates of all my contacts in Gmail [format: December DD, YYYY]. In HTC calendar [Accounts] i checked the Google option and in that i checked "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option, which takes the birthdays dates from my Gmail contacts and sets reminders and notifications. But I am not able to see any notifications from the calendar.
Now, i have another option in HTC Calendar Accounts called "People (Birthdays & Anniversaries)" and i have no idea where this option came from and from where it takes the birthday data from but it displays the birthdays. The annoying thing is when an event is about to occur this People thing displays 4 reminders for the same event, which is irritating.
I want to know where this People option came from and from where its taking the data and why the hell cant i see the Gmail contacts birthdays through the "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option??? :crying:

[Q] Shared calendar on the HTC One?

I've been using a Nexus 4 (and Windows Phone, prior to that) before landing on the HTC One. Beautiful phone, great hardware, and a super-fast camera! Love it.
Anyhow, my primary email is with Outlook.com. My wife has her calendar (also on Outlook.com) shared out to me. On Windows Phone, I can see her shared calendar just fine. On the Nexus 4, I can also see her shared calendar just fine. On the HTC One, however, her calendar doesn't show up anywhere. I've tried adding my account as both an EAS account *and* a Hotmail account (same as Outlook.com), but neither works as expected. Sad
To make matters worse, my "workaround" was to have her add her account to my phone, *ONLY* sync her calendar, and then turn off notifications so that I can simply "see" her calendar, but I'm not getting notifications for her stuff. Unfortunately, my phone then decided to start syncing her email as well, even though I had that option unchecked. HTC has a few bugs to work out...
Anyone figure out a solution for this???

Any thoughts?
I'm curious as to why *that* particular feature would be any different from the current Nexus 4 to the HTC One (running Android Revolution HD 10.1). I've also tested with the stock HTC One rom, but no-go...

Answering my own question here...
1) I contacted HTC support and although they were happy to open a trouble ticket, they were otherwise useless for any help.
2) I resolved this by...
- having my wife give me the .ics (iCal) address for her calendar (Outlook.com > Calendar > Share > Get Link > .iCal url)
- email that URL to me
- add her calendar to my Gmail account (which I otherwise don't use)
- (note: the url looks like webcals://cid-502443690c6aee53.calendar.live.com/calendar/private/e0f9f085...ics, but you need to change the "webcals" portion to "http" when you Add By URL)
- rename the new calendar to something sensible
- make sure my HTC One is syncing my Gmail Calendar
- open the HTC One calendar app
- choose the Accounts (Multi-Calendar) option
- select the "..." option next to the Google entry
- be sure to *tick* the box for the newly-shared calendar
Voila! The shared Outlook.com calendar is syncing to your phone without any further wackiness, and will continue to sync automagically.
Hope this helps someone else out there

Thank you sooo much

Wow that was awesome, thank you so much!

You said that the calendar was working on your nexus 4. That has the stock google calendar which you can download from the play store. This should work just fine, i think. Anyway that's the calendar app I'm using instead of the htc calendar.

[Q] Google calendar sync

I'm using the Google calendar service for the past years for my work, although I did not have any Android devices.
I got the One and I synced my calendar but unfortunately past events have not synced. The sync went just to a month in the past.
As I need to check past events very often and use the Search function this is a huge problem for me.
The only solution until now is to use the browser and search through the mobile calendar site, but this is not the best solution.
So, my question is: Is there any way to sync all my past events to the HTC One calendar app?
If not is there any other calendar app that would allow me to sync these events?
If again not is there any other solution using something else instead of Google?

sync failed
before we try to figure out the problem... can you verify that the calendar app you are using is actually by google and not HTC?

I didn't see your answer, so sorry for not replying earlier.
The problem is not app-specific, it's Google Calendar specific.
Google Calendar allows you to sync with mobile devices but syncs events up to one month back, not older.
So I searched around and found a solution.
In case anyone is interested, this worked for me:
I went to my Google account (from my PC browser) and exported my Calendar (it's a zip file).
I then unzipped it and imported it to the same account (no duplicates) and when my phone synced back I got all my entries in my Calendar app (I use the HTC calendar app). So now I can go back to events or search.

no worries. I didnt realize Google calendar doesnt sync beyond one month of your events. thanks for the heads up.

Well the zip file technique didnt work with me, I see only one exporting option at the top calendars but not for the one that i added "Contacts birthdays and events". Anyway i tried to export and that is my mail calendar and even that exporting failed saying "Processed zero events.Failed to import events: Processing error during upload." I can see the birthdays and event of my contacts [that i maintain in gmail with birthday date] in the calendar but not on my phone. I cleared the cache and the data from the HTC Calendar app and i re-added this calendar from my mail account and then only some birthdays are shown and some are not. Its irritating to see these many cache problems with android/HTC.

Did you unzip the file?
The exported file is .zip. and you have to import the .ics

Yes i did that later and still only some contacts' birthdays and events are shown.
And do you know how to get full clarity contact pictures while calling [only using google, not from facebook] I'd like to set a contact picture to each and everyone to my contacts in gmail and i want them to stay like that, but while calling the picture is pixellated. Many reported this as annoying in the google forums, but did google resolve this?

to your question about the contact pics, while i can't confirm if it has been resolved BUT i did notice that the picture itself has to "buffer" or download itself to get clear.been that way for me since early ics.this is what i do if the picture is blurry i go into my contacts on my phone go to that contact click on the pic and nothing else and i see it "buffer/download" itself and go from blurry to clear within secs.

I will try it then, i just need to go to each contact and make the contact pic buffer, provided these pics should've be saved in gmail right? under contacts? I do get options to select the contact pic from accounts like Facebook, whatsapp etc.....i just need to upload a nice contact pic and select google as contact pic and wait for it to buffer?!!

[Q] Remove Google+ Birthdays from Calendar?

So my Calendar is showing Google+ birthdays...I have no way to turn it off without turning off birthdays all together. I want to see contact birthdays but not Google+!
Anyone have this issue and/or figure out how to turn it off yet?
P.S. Google+ birthdays don't even show on the web calendar! I think it's an exclusive annoyance to the app!
Thanks!

I am in the same boat. It is all or nothing. The only (sort of) work around I found was to use some widgets that let you display only contact events and turn off the birthday calendar. Android Pro Widgets and Month: Calendar Widget are the two I use.

This change came about in Calendar itself, not Lollipop. I'm runnign the latest Cal on my GNex on KK and have the same issue since upgrading.
So it has nothig to do with the N6, or Lollipop - It's the App. Sorry.

Calendar sync issue

Since my unlocked note 9 updated to pie I have been unable to get appointments I make on the phone to show up on my tablet. On both devices I am only using my Google calendar. Appointments I made before the update synced with my tablet with no issues. I also found out then when I invite somebody to an appointment, that person never receives the email with the invitation event the calendar says the invitation was sent. This also worked fine before the update to pie. Is there a fix for these issues?

Do you have more than one Email account setup on your phone/tablet?

No. Just my gmail account.
