Just one question on gmail trach

Hi all, been lurking for awhile and can't find a definitive answer. I just got my N1 yesterday and am absolutely loving it. It's my first android phone, so this question may be stupid simple, but it's killing me.
When I delete something from gmail on my phone, it moves to the trash label, just as it should. When I go to the trash label, long press the email and choose delete (from within trash), it appears to be removed from my phone. It is not, however, removed from my trash in Gmail. If I go back into the trash label on my phone it shows up again, and if I go into the trash area in the Gmail web client, it's still right there, living happily in the trash.
What am I doing wrong? Why can I not delete trash in GMail from my N1? Using the native Gmail app on the phone, nothing third party for it.
Thanks in advance for the help all!

Are you allowing it enough time to sync the change?

Yeah. Gave it over an hour. It's like the trash label doesn't sync. Everything else seems to be working fine.

This is what google likes to call the "Oscar the Grouch" feature. Just leave the trash alone and nobody gets hurt.

go into your gmail app
select menu > settings > labels >
you should see "Trash" or IMAP "trash" depending on your account setup
select it and click sync all or sync the number of days you have allocated at the top of the labels list
welcome to android

Thanks everyone for the welcome and the responses.
Okay, I guess I'm confused now. The only labels even visible in the gmail account settings on my N1 are Inbox, Starred, and Sent (which I have set for 7 days on all three of those). I don't have custom labels set up, that's true, but should trash be showing up here natively? Is there something I can do to add it? Is there a setting I need to make to my GMail account on the web?
Thanks in advance again for the clarification.

go onto gmail and check if trash shows up in the left panel. If not add it in the view/hide areas on the left and check phone after.

Yeah...trash label is not hidden and is on the left side under the inbox and the rest of the labels in the web interface.
Set up a second gmail account and associated it with my N1 as well. Neither account has the Trash label available in the N1 gmail app settings.

Setting a default calendar when adding events

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?

[Q] Changing gmail account without factory reset - possible ?

I tried the method of settings- applications - clear the date from all google related apps - this but it doesn't work.
Changed also the gmail password so the SGS can't log in... Doesn't work.
Whatever I do - I get a red triangle in the top left corner asking for my google password.
Any ideas?
Frankyl - its disappointing that a user needs to go into so much trouble to change an email...

just go into Seetings > Accounts & Sync
then you can Add new accounts or Edit exisiting accounts

If you are trying to edit the main account that you signed in with first.. Basically NO! Tried it myself as I couldn't choose which google chat account it signed with as I have 2. Had to factory reset and enter the 2 accounts in the right order first being the one that had all my calendar detail and my google chat account that had all my contacts in.

that doesn't sounds quite right, i'm able to delete/edit/add any account listed in the Accounts & Sync page in settings

When you click edit it only lets you change the sync options for that account... but say like me you have 2 gmail accounts and you link them both the first one will sync your calendar the second account will then not give you the option to sync the calendar... also only then lets you sign into things like market place and google chat with the first account ... with no available option to switch accounts... I spoke to samsung and they said the same you must delete the head account (very first account used to access market place or activate anything on the handset). and to do anything other than adjust the sync settings you must factory reset it even tells you that if you try to delete the account!! try it!!

i'm sync-ing calendar with 2 Gmail account 1 for work 1 for personal
each of them have its own sets of contacts and calendars, they each one show up in different colour.
on the personal gmail account i event sync the picasa web album
then on top of that i also sync my yahoo account calendar and contacts, as well as my MSN
but MSN can only sync contacts no calendar option for in hotmail/live accounts
my twitter account can only sync contacts as well
but facebook account can sync both calendar and contacts
and emails also sync across gmails/yahoo/msn accounts
as well as the IM for gtalk/yahoo/msn

Are you using something other than the stock android calendar because with mine whatever gmail account I signed in first with I had option for sync on the calendar but the second only contacts and gmail.... but with regards to mine, I also had to do it as all my card details were linked to the second account and I didn't want them linked to the other! therefor I had to for the purposes of buying paid apps, by accessing the market place with the other account..... and there is no way of switching accounts for that!

i'm using the Samsung Apps (email, calendar, IM) that came with the phone
it's quite good, better than i expected
in the calendar each of my accounts have its own colour, so i know which Calendar entry comes from which Sync Account
this is like sooooooooo much better than what i used to have in Palm, Blackberry or Windows Mobile, those 3 are horrible, it was very difficult to have personal + work account in the same phone
but with Android, it's like a dream come true, everything is detailed to its own account, but all visible in 1 calendar
maybe you guys need to upgrade to the latest

Yeah as I said even if people dont beleive me... other than being able to edit the sync settings of the head account... There is no way of physically changing what the head account is or change the address of the head account. Yes you can add others but they will never become the head account. As I said had to reset mine to change it too.

This is my experience also. The first entered Gmail account is the only fully functional one the others have limited sync. Many hours and concluded reset is the only fix. Now I will have to repurchase some apps because the Market only talks to the first email account!!!! At least apple allows these basic changes. People have been complaining about this for ages when will google listen? I brought an Android device over Apple iPhone because I hated the lock in Apple does and needing iTunes for everything but find the Android is worse for useability. The only gain over iPhone so far is the Samsung has a bigger display and easier to type or swype. Maybe I am missing something and Android is better but not convinced at all at the moment. Unfortunatly you only find out after owning a device for a few weeks the limitations.

[Q] Multiple Calendars

Does anyone know of an app that will allow multiple widget instances or a widget view that isnt every calendar I sync with. I am looking for something that will allow me to view my personal calendar on one screen and other calendars I subscribe to in another. Month view is perferred if possible. Thanks in advance for any info.

Android Agenda Widget might be worth looking into. I don't have multiple calendars so I can't test it out but under the settings there is an option that says"Widget calendars independence - Have separate calendars for each widget"
Not sure if month view is possible.

Definitely going to second Android Agenda Widget. Takes a bit of time to setup, but you can customize it quite a bit and get it to look just the way you want. I currently have three of the widgets setup because I use several calendars and it works great. I'm also not sure about the monthly view, I know you can set how far ahead it "looks" and do a few other things to that extent, though I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. Either way, definitely give it a shot, it's a great app!

Pure Calendar also allows you to select which calendars it displays

I use Android Agenda Widget, but I can't get any of my calendars besides (my email) and U.S. Holidays to show up. When I go to Google Calendar (the site, not the app), I have a Birthdays/Anniversaries calendar, in addition to a few sports calendar. How do I get those to show up as well?

Thx 4 all the input but the list view of all events is not quite what I was looking 4... visual week or month... something like what u might find n a paper planner is closer 2 the overall goal... did try it and I must say Android Agenda Widget was the best of its kind I saw... and 2 linkraceist

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:
