Reminders are non syncing properly in app and widget on Android (ok on wev).
Here's my scenario, tested on a phone and a tablet.
Add reminder in app: it shows on Web but not on app and not on widget.
Force sync in app: still nothing on app and nothing on widget.
Add normal event in app: even is added on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder now shows up also on app and on widget.
Delete reminder in app: reminder is deleted from Web but not from app and not from widget.
Delete event in app: event is deleted on Web and on app and on widget AND reminder is also deleted from app and from widget
It seems the problem is a display problem.
For example, if I modify a reminder on app, the changes appear on Web but not on app, still if I click the reminder in app it is opened with the changes made.
Also, if I delete a reminder from app, it is deleted from Web but not from app, yet if I click the reminder on app I get an error "reminder not found. As a proof: if I set a reminder it does not show in app but I get a notification when time comes!!!!!!!
I am having the same problem on S6 Edge+
On the calendar forum someone us suggesting it's only a Samsung problem.
Anyone else?
Thanks
Please, could someone just try and let me know?
Thanks
Please can someone try?
Google keeps on telling it's a Samsung problem.

Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to set the default calender on the captivate when adding a calender event it always defaults to "my calendar" which is in the phone. Every time I add an event to my calender I would like it to go to my gmail calender instead of always having to change it.
I'm surprised nobody has run into this yet. Does anyone use their calendar???
yeah I have the same problem.
Couldn't find a setting to change it. I will play with it a little more right now.
yep no luck.
Even went into settings while in calendar and unchecked the "my calendar" one - it still comes up as default.
No setting for it.
I haven't tried this yet, but if you add an event to "my calendar" does it still sync with the Gmail account? I assume no...

Anything on this issue yet? Isn't the point of a google phone to be able to integrate into google applications like calendar? This is a horrible feature on this phone which for me is a pain as i enter a lot of calendar entries daily. It worked just fine on my htc hero (as did the gps and contact groups...).

Did you go to Settings / Accounts and sync / your Gmail account, then check Sync Calander?

Yes. My gmail account syncs just fine. The problem is when you add an appointment to the calendar on the phone, it defaults to "my calendar" (which will not sync with google). I would like for it to default to my google calendar when adding an entry on the phone.

Try an alternative calendar app like Gemini Calendar or Jorte Calendar. They are both free and let you use your Google Calendar by default.
I chatted online with a Samsung person to find out if there was a way to make the Google calendar the default in the calendar app that comes with the phone. She claimed that she was able to sync an event from her phone calendar with her Google calendar, but the steps she told me to use did not work for me. I think she didn't understand what I was asking.

Im currently using Jorte and it is working fine. I hope samsung gets a fix for this as i do like the layout of the stock samsung calendar.

Really?
Create an event, change the calendar where it is saved to your gmail account, click ok, SAVE EVENT. If you don't want the event, delete it.
Next time you create an event it will default to your gmail account.
I have no issue with the calendar.
Open the calendar app, press the menu button, select more, select setting, select calendars, un-check 'My Calendar' done.

This is not working for me. Is there an actual setting somewhere you can set to force the phone to do what it's supposed to do?
Ever since flashing JM6, I've had problems with the Messaging app. After syncing Facebook contacts, using either adding a regular account un Settings->Accounts & Sync->Add Account or using the official Facebook app, all contacts properly sync with the photos.
I can confirm this in the Phone/Dialer/Contacts app and all my contacts are properly synced with photos. However, in the Messaging app, all icons are blank/have the head icon.
Anyone else have this issue/know a fix?
Bump.
Update:
I installed Handcent SMS and it displays the contact pictures properly, synced from Facebook. I don't know what's wrong with my Messaging app. Still the same in Roto-JME.
I tried clearing the cache for the Messaging app but it only cleared the changes I made to the settings. Anyone?
i use syncmypix from the market to see my facebook contacs.

Thanks, I've previously used syncmypix on my first Android phone, however this isn't what I want. There's obviously a problem because it used to work now it doesn't.
I don't want to install another app just to download contact photos, the Facebook app already does it for me. Handcent SMS displays them correctly, and besides, I want the photos to be on a separate contact profile -- "Facebook", I don't want them merged to my Gmail as they constantly change anyway.
The only problem is that the Messaging app doesn't display them anymore, ever since flashing JM6 and still doesn't after flashing Roto-JME.
Did you merge your google contacts with your facebook ones? Usually it will choose the facebook pic by default over the google one but sometimes it will not and you need to edit the contact and tell it to make the facebook part of the contact the primary one. Then it will always choose the FB contact pic and even update as your FB contact changes their profile pic. This is for JM6 for mee too.

Thanks for the reply.
By merge do you mean "sync with existing contacts"? Yes if that.
I tried what you said, even setting the Facebook profile as default over the Google one leads to nothing. Still no pic. It's weird because the contacts/phone/dialer has the pictures correctly, and so does Handcent, but not the default Messaging app.
Even the default Messaging app does not having pictures for Google contacts with pictures. Everything is blank.
Bump. Anyone?
did you fin the solution for this?
EDIT : I tried syncmypix, I think it works for me. except the colorize widget has problems with Messaging. Its showing Gray and White
I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?
Rom: Mosaic V
I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.
Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

I am on a Nexus 6 with the latest Android 5 release. When I go to the contacts app and set to display only one specific group of contacts from my google account then the contacts app will only display those contacts. How ever the dialer app will completely ignore those settings and always display all contacts on any of my accounts.
In the past the contacts app and dialer app worked together. So when I told the contacts app to display only the group "work" then the contacts app as well as the dialer app would only display the conctacts within the group "work".
I tried deleting data from "contacts" app and "contacts storage" as well as the "dialer" app. I disabled syncing, re-synced, etc... dialer will always ignore the contacts app settings and since the dialer app doesn't have an option to hide contacts, there is no way I csn currently hide contacts with stock contacts/dialer app?
Thanks
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by

Good luck
Anyone Else thinks that it Would be great when reminder app on samsung watch would sync with Microsoft to do, just like the reminder app on samsung phones? I mean I write a task on my laptop in microsoft to do and I can see that task on my phone reminder app but not on the watch... any way this could get to app developers?
I just got this watch and use Msoft To Do. I was looking into this but I am not sure how you even get the app on your phone? I don't even find the app for download. Mind explaining how this works for you?
Inside Reminder App, which is native Samsung app, you can find option to sync Microsoft to do tasks with reminder app. So everything you write in To do, will show up in Reminders app, but not on the watch, just in the phone
