Tentative calendar entries - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello,
can somebody help me? We are using Exchange in our company and I have lot's of calendar entries in my calendar (usually 3-4 parallel sessions). I usually choose one which I personally attend and for other I use "tentative" so they stay in my calendar (because sometimes the accepted is canceled - so i attend another session). I cannot change it, because that's how our work is organised (and I cannot change name/location/description of those cal entries).
Is there a way to create profile only for those sessions which are accepted and not tentative?
(I tried Calendar entry - but it looks, like it do not differentiate accepted and tentative meetings)
Thanks.

Where does TF3D get its mail account names from?

I just installed emoze, which I finally managed to get working well, but it automatically configured itself to call the mailbox "emoze", and I would like to change this. I searched all over the registry, but was unable to find this.
Does anyone know where WM6.1 or TF3D store this information, so I can go in there and change it (the way emoze installs itself on the device you cannot go in and edit this setting via the WM interface).
Thanks!
Hi Diplomate,
emoze uses a special API to set the account name, changing it will result in emoze not functioning at all.
Gilirock.
I finally gave up on emoze!
In the end, I had to give up on emoze, as it has a couple of very annoying bugs:
First, any calendar event which recurs yearly gets added multiple times back into the Outliik calendar (using the PC client), but I was not able to figure out the logic there: some where added 5 times, other 12, others 13. None were touched/edited/open on either the device or Outlook, as they were set months in the future... a reat PITA to clean-up!
Second, emoze seems to ignore the "File As" field when importing contacts into the diamond, so all your contacts revert back to the default "lastname, firstname" display order, regardless of how you have them set in Outlook. As this sort order cannot be changed in TF3D, you are SOL!
Basically, a great idae/product if you could configure it to only take care of e-mail, and let ActiveSync take care of your calendar/contacts, etc. But this is not possible - apparently emoze wants to only do it all, so...
Too bad! I loved the push e-mail!

Sync w/o Outlook

Hey folks,
Sorry to post such a 'simple' question, but I can't seem to google up the right words to find what I'm looking for -- and the links I did find didn't give me much personal opinions of different services.
I recently lost Sync options with my work (yay economy and licensing costs).. I loved using Outlook to sync my calender from MS Exchange to my phone... and I could use OWA to enter in my calender events from my computer. It also allowed my calender to survive flashes w/o backups.
I can't survive without my calender syncing, since the change i'm late to work constantly (I used to enter my shifts in OWA w/reminders 2 hours before to make sure I'm moving early enough to get ready & to work on time -- In case I'm watching a movie with the dog and don't notice the time)
I found 2 solutions, but both are around Google's calender, which I'm not super keen on, but could work:
1. Google Calender Mobile Website -- My understanding is it does reminders by SMS(?) and is mostly managed by google -- not the phone.
2. GooSync / OogSync -- Looks like it'll sync right into the phone's native calender -- But I didnt see verification of it syncing with the native calender, and/or if it supports making sure my reminders & other 'extra' information is sync'ed
I don't want to give Microsoft any money for outlook, so what do you all use :-/
Thanks guys, again, sorry for posting this issue without spending 3 hours researching first :-/ but getting a headache from trying to find a solution!
So, My needs:
1) Bi-directional Sync
2) Extra Information (e.g. Reminders) Sync
3) Easy entry/editing of calender info from a computer
Hopes:
4) Can work behind corporate firewalls blocking gmail, yahoo mail, etc.
5) Task Syncing
Thanks guys, love XDA

Possible ways to sync
Unfortunately the easiest way would be to sync through outlook.
Though your company may have cut licensing cost ask the IT gurus if your company may have an agreement with MS. It's called Home Use Program (HUP) LINK.
If they do you can buy a full office pack for home use for ~ $20 which is definitely worth doing it. Afterwards simply maintain your contacts at your home PC and sync them through the PC. You may export them out of your office outlook either as PAB or CSV file and import at home. AFAIK this doesn't work with outlook express, you need a full blown office outlook.
You may also look at the link below if this would do it for you.

Perhaps you have a friendly IT group. Download the attached file, rename ZIP to PDF and take a look, it may work in your environment.
have you tried mail2web? its outlook (OWA), syncs with your phone (email, contacts, calender, etc..) and you can also manage it on your computer. Best of all, its free http://exchange.mail2web.com/
Hmmm.. with e-mail forwarding from my gmail to this that might actually work out well... save battery life on checking multiple e-mail accounts...
In case someone stumbles on this, link to account setup is: http://services.mail2web.com/Services/exchangesolutions.asp
Took a bit of searchign to find that page, most of their stuff advertises their paid services.... I'll give the free one a try, if I like it I'd be willing to pay (or at least donate) for it
instead of Mail2web try out seven, mail forwarding service. found here, i swear by it, it's been such a good service, you do have to sign up but it remembers you, so if you switch to another phone, ROM, etc your e-mail account(s) will be saved and you can add multiple accounts, and set times for mail forwarding. I'm not sure about contacts, but it asks every time i restart it if i want to import my contacts from g-mail. it's definitely worth a try.

[Q] Moto Assist working with multiple calendars?

Since last update, Assist lets you choose more than one calendar to trigger meeting mode. In my phone, though, it only works for the main calendar.
I've already checked the requeriments for an event to trigger meeting:
is from a calendar visible on device
is from a calendar that you are the owner
has been accepted
is not deleted
is not cancelled
is not all day (all day event box checked) or duration < 24
Meetings where you’re marked as “Available” will not trigger meeting mode
(from https://motorola-global-portal.cust...swer_detail/a_id/94933/p/30,6720,8696#meeting)
My events respect all points in that list.
The only thing that bugged is the "is from a calendar that you are the owner" requirement. I realised all calendars I create are not "as mine" as the main calendar is... Even though I created it through google.com/calendar, in the settings all calendars (except the main one) have a "cancel subscription" option, like it isn't really mine. But that's so weird...
Anyone having the same problem?

Click to expand...

Hi, I have the same problem here, I also noticed in my calender that the 'not default' ones I can also 'unsubscribe' to. Even when I create a new one, I can unsubscribe. So I'm thinking that is indeed the problem. Question is, how do we solve it. I've been searching the internet for a solution to make myself owner of the calender, whithout results. Anyone of you who knows how we can do this?
I'm having the same problem. I left a comment on the Play Store to see if that might elevate the issue. It's frustrating that it's been this way for almost a month now.
I'm having the same issue as well.. I opened a thread in the Motorola forums as well but still no resolution ...
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/386638fc4c
I called Motorola support and they suggested a hard reset (not sure what they think that will solve but whatever I tried it anyway because the dude insisted that might fix it...). Surprise, hard reset did nothing. Then the guy said the ONLY other solution he had was to do a factory reset... ughhh.
Ok. Fine.
Backed up all my stuff, factory reset. annnndddddd....
Nothing. Assist still doesn't trigger a meeting from any of my other calendars. I'm gonna give Moto a call again but I suspect they will be no help. I think we're probably gonna have to live without it until they actually listen and realize the feature is broken and update with a fix.
Has anybody else had any luck getting this to work with multiple calendars?
I did some troubleshooting tonight since I was also having the problem reported here. Turns out, I can only trigger Assist using events in the first calendar in each account. My accounts have multiple calendars (for different projects at work), but any events on those additional calendars are ignored regardless of the fact that I checked them off in the Assist settings for which calendars to use. For me, the solution was to put events that require silence into the first calendar of the account. Assist seems to treat that as the primary calendar; other calendars are seen as if they're not owned by the account.
Sent from my XT1053 using XDA Free mobile app
The latest version of Assist (2.3.15) seems to have solved this issue. Secondary calendars are working again for me now.

Note 9 PIE upgrade broke MS Exchange Tasks

Hi all,
I know this is not for everyone, but really bugging me.... I am using Note 9 for work - key is syncing with company MS Exchange account (Office 365) - INCLUDING Tasks, which we use in our team. This was working beautifully in Oreo - the task widget was showing correctly my active work tasks.
PIE update broke this - in several ways:
Tasks widget removed
New Reminder app and widget are device or Samsung-cloud only - do not understand MS Exchange Tasks and hence only fit for personal use.
Samsung calendar app and widget still pull Exchange Tasks, BUT mistreat them as just appointments by another name - i.e. they won't be shown unless they have a due date, and if so, only on THAT date (as an appointment), instead of showing them whenever ACTIVE (until checked off) and flagging them overdue when past due date.
Samsung support apologized but seems uninterested in a fix, despite Note 9 being a 'professional' (and expensive) work device.
Kludgy work-arounds possible, but largely unsatisfactory - including using MS's own ToDo app, which is overkill for just tasks, does not work with our Office 365 set-up, and its widget doesn't go dark on the Note. I'm not using the MS Outlook app either - built-in mail and calendar work just fine and I don't need another 'Blinders-white' app.
Am I the only one bugged by this? If not, any suggestions?
