Hello.
I'd like to do this:
when I receive an e-mail from my train company, open that e-mail and add the ics file attached to one of my google calendar (so I can save my next trains timetable to my calendar).
I know how to intercept notifications, but I've no idea on how to do the other steps.
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

When my HTC Hero(GSM) was ky primary phone, I remember that I could have birthdays show up in the calendar, so I do not have to go to the Facebook application to see them. It was default on the hero but I can't figure out how to get it to work.
Also, I found myself envious of the new Blackberry Torch because through blackberry messenger, it adds your Facebook events to your calendar automatically. Does anyone know of a way to add this as well?

Two ways to do this that i have found.
One is to go to facebook on a the computer. Export the calendar, and then Import it into your google account. bleh
What i found today i think will do what you need.
Ebobirthday
can be found in the market. This will log into your face book account to sync with Birthdays. Then you can have it sync with the calendar inside the phone.
Hope that helps you somewhat.
This is sort of what I'm looking for, I still feel like there is a way to do this without having to resync that calendar information. Already in the phone if you pull up a contact, it does give the contact's birthday information, but for some reason it does not include that information in the calendar like it did on the Hero.
That app is a good temporary solution until I figure out how to get it to work just the way I want it. Thank you!
Edit: Playing around with it, I found a section in the menu that lets you add Calendars. In order for my Hero to have been able to sync birthdays to the calendar, there had to have been a Facebook calendar in that list, and there isn't one now. So I think to solve my problem it is just a matter of figuring out how to add Facebook to the HTC Calendar.
I was wondering if there was something I can download or do which will automatically set the upcoming birthdays on my calendar.... My old phone did this.. Even without me automatically inputting it... It basically used the Facebook and had the birthdays appear on the mobile phone's main calendar... Hoping that there is something similar for that..
Google Calendar can be used for this but you would have to add all the birthdays into your contacts in google mail, then subscribe to "Contact's birthdays and events" under "browse interesting Calendars" which can be found under the "add" menu at the bottom left of the page when in google calendar.
Hope this helps
That's not really relevent to WP7 though...
@ProjektFuze Funny you should mention it though i was thinking the same thing yesterday. Hopefully it will be an available feature in the next update.
You can sync Google calendar with wp7, so what ever you add on your pc will show up on phone.
That may be true, but they still won't show in in the WP7 calendar and you'd still have to manually create an appointment or something. As i said, hopefully the update due early next year will provide this much needed feature.
Birthdays are showing in my calendar on HTC hd7.
Will post my settings when I get home.
If you have your contacts in outllook with birthdays set, then you need to export your outlook calendar (csv file) and import it into google calendar.
Birthdays will now show in wp7 calendar.
If you dont have all your facebook contacts in outlook then you could try this -
There’s an app called “Export Friends” that will save you friends names, city, birthday and their current location in a CSV (text) file that you then import into Excel, Gmail or any other web email program.

You might need to import it into outlook first, then export the outlook calendar into google calendar.
Hello all,
When I receive a meeting invite via my Google mail client on my D3 it comes in formatted differently than my Google mail client on my laptop. I do not get the option to accept the meeting invite to my calendar, specifically Yes, No, Maybe. Is there anything I can do to get this functionality back in the mail client for the D3?
Second if I download the .ICS file that accompanies the meeting invite, and try to apply it to my calendar, it defaults to the phone's calendar rather than my Google calendar. Is there anyway to change this so that the Google calendar is always the default?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi - I was interested if you managed to figure this out - i couldn't ...thanks
Hi all, I'm self employed and receive most of my work via email with the details in a pdf or doc file.
If at home I just transfer the details to calendar on my PC which syncs with my google calendar and then onto my note calendar. From the note calendar I can tap the location field and navigate to the customer with google maps and, if necessary, tap the contact number to call the customer easily while on route.
The problem is this requires manually typing the data from the document into the calendar. Easy on my PC but a pain in the butt if I'm on the road at the time.
Does anyone know of a way to automate this so I can do it easily from my note?
In summary I want to be able to get the job details into the calendar (stock at moment but not set in concrete), specifically the address into the location field and contact name and number into the description field.
Would it work if I got them to send out as a calendar invitation, I assume but don't know for sure, that they use outlook.
Sorry for the long drawn out question, I hope it makes sense. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Love using the note for my jobs but need to be able to streamline it's use when jobs come in on the road. At the moment I have to open the email, download and open the attachment, write down the details and either enter them into a diary event or type them directly into phone/navigation as appropriate. Not exactly high tech

imo the simplest solution would be if customers would send you invitations from google calendar - when accepted would automatically get into your note calendar,
Thanks p107r0,
I think it will also work if they create a diary event on their system and invit me as an atendee. In theory I then get an email invite which, if I accept it will populate my calendar.
Just messing with it myself and seems to work. I'll have to get my companies to try it out if I can convince them.
genious question, brilliant idea for an app, someone should make it

What if you did some sort of mashup where your clients go to a google hosted google apps page with a google spreadsheet that is acting as a form,
in this they can type the requirements.... and perhaps can select / type who they are (or perhaps type their UID which does a lookup to prevent data protection act) that has an action of add to calendar + email alert for you with the attached PDF that they select in the form?
I might have a look in to this myself as it seems kinda fun!
Edit: Found this example, that is kinda close

Second edit
Perhaps http://www.jotform.com/ can help.
Thanks fooby, at moment I'm working on getting them to set up a calendar event and inviting me as an attendee as I think that will work with a few tweaks.
Trouble is getting them to play with me

I have an email that has a calendar file attachment, extension .ice. When I open this under Gmail, it say "No app can open this attachment for viewing". I get similar result if I use CM9 mail client.
If I open the same email using LG email client, or save the file on the sdcard and open it using the file manager, Business Calendar Free successfully launch and import the data.
May I know is there any setting in Gmail that I can trigger such that Business Calendar Free is launched when I select the attached file?
Since I am on this topic, do you have any solution to read Outlook calendar to the phone? With Google not longer support sync, I am in a fix how can I sync my Outlook calendar to my phone. I just need one-way sync from outlook to phone.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? Please? Or it is that I failed to explain the issue clearly?
