Hi Friends,
One weird thing I noticed from last couple of weeks on my PIxel 7 is that whenever I unlocks the phone I always found calender app running on screen. Image attached for reference, any idea/suggestion why?
ThnX
Same on 6a, but I've noticed it happens less frequently after April update.
Probably tapped on the date in your pocket, that opens calendar.

Hello,
I've just recently switched from a Windows Mobile phone to the Hero, and there are a few features I miss from my old phone. I'm hoping that someone can recommend some apps to fill the gap; I've looked around on the forum and not yet found anything that seems like it would do what I want.
Calendar:
The calendar app that comes with the phone works great for everything except one simple feature - it displays all events on the monthly view with the same icon. My old phone used to have different icons for events in the morning, afternoon or 'all day'. This made it a lot easier to tell them apart at a glance. Edit: You also can't flick the screen to the side to scroll through days.
Mail:
This is just a minor annoyance. You can't swap between emails or email accounts by flicking the screen to the side.
Notifications:
If I've missed a call, received a text message or something of that sort, I'd like the phone to vibrate every 5 minutes until I acknowledge that I missed something. Currently all I can find is making the track ball glow, which isn't terribly useful if the phone is in my pocket.
If anyone can recommend some programs to fix those issues, that'd be great. (By the way, I'm using the Modaco custom ROM v2.2) Thanks!

For text notifications, grab SMS Popup from the Market. Brilliant little app imo
For the calendar get Pure Grid Calendar and turn on the Timeline option in settings

Missed call can repeat notifications for missed calls and texts. You can also set the vibration pattern.
For notifications, I use Missed Call. Seems to work well for missed calls and SMS messages which is all I need it for.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I tried SMS popup and it worked fine for texts, but as expected, it didn't do anything for missed calls. I've now installed Missed Call; I'll see how well it works tomorrow.

As for Pure Grid Calendar, that looks good. However it's a paid app; does it work well? The reviews generally were positive, but I'm paranoid about paying for something that doesn't work quite how I'd like it. In particular I forgot to mention that I need it to sync with Google Calendar - the guy's website suggests it does in some of the comments but doesn't specifically say so. Do you know if that's definitely the case?
Thanks again guys.
Pure Grid Calendar and it's cousin Pure Calendar are paid apps but you do get to use them for about 24 hours for free. If you then install you get a refund. My understanding is that this happens for all paid apps but perhaps someone who knows more about market can confirm.
As to syncing with Google calendar, again my understanding is that it is the device itself that syncs. In each calendar app, including HTC calendar, you just choose which calendars you want that app to display. The pure calendars are the same.
Personally I use Pure Calendar rather than the grid as it shows an agenda style widget in a 4x2 format.

I read that somewhere else as well, and then went to check the Market. That's indeed what the Google Terms of Service said; you can get a refund within 24 hours as long as you haven't tried downloading the program before.

Ah, that does make sense. That way each designer doesn't have to program their own syncing code.

I actually tried the Pure Grid Calendar yesterday, and I'm happy with it. I particularly like how it brings up a pop-up of the day's events if you tap a day.
I'll have a look at the Pure non-grid Calendar as well later, as I can't access the market from where I am at the moment. I assume its advantage over the basic Android calendar widget is that it displays multiple days?
Thanks to you both for your help.
Recurring Events
I am new to Android from WinMo as well. I am having trouble with recurring events. I work a rotating (2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off; I KNOW!!! ) schedule for 2 wks with one workgroup then repeating for two weeks with another workgoup, then starting over.
This was not a problem with the calendar in my WinMo Tilt. I could "program" my work schedule in my phone and look out as far as I wanted to. I miss my calendar!
Am I missing something, or is the android calendar completely lacking in this area? Any help is greatly appreciated.
It all started yesterday, when I turned on wifi and mine phone suddenly auto install 3 different apps from google play market and another 1 later on.
Today it happened again, just turned on wifi and 1 random app starts to install.
Those apps are Go Weather, Peoples Radio, gPen, ring tone (something) and today some game. (canelled it before it installed).
Scanned mine phone with avast and app detector. Nothing found. I also changed mine gmail account password yesterday and still cant find out the reason of the culprit of all these auton install random apps?
Any got any idea?
some dude is logged in on your market account on a PC:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdFNYSE0iXQ..
you can click install, and then it will do that on your phone.
Re: random apps
I am curious, because I am also experiencing this just recently as well. I will just be sending a text message, and a window will appear asking if I want to install "gamebox". If I tap cancel, an SMS blip (not my normal message icon) will appear in my notification area. As soon as I open it, it will try to install another game. Shortly afterwords, my homepage for my Web app changed to "searchmobile". Which is strange because I have never seen that site or heard of it prior to today. Also just curious I after I uninstalled temple run...most of my issues stopped.
sounds like malware
To be on the safe side, go to Google store & change your password.

This is not same as mine problem, its push ads caused from others apps u installed and its wellknown. Mine problem, is all apps installed automatically when wifi turned on and like i got the apps push installed from google play.
Even changed password to gmail account didnt help and still got pushed installed another app day after.
Mine gmail account dont register others peoples logged in, except ip adress from mine computer/cellphone and I just dont know whats going on.
Same problem
I know this is an old post, but I am researching the same issue. I noticed a little popup notification that said "Glasses.com is installing." Checked Google Play and it shows as installed. Did you ever find out what is going on?
Sorry if this might be a double post but search did not reveal THIS problem.
In the stock SONY calendar app synced with Google Calendar everything works fine until I move to a different time zone.
Although I adjusted in settings to ALWAYS show my home time zone the start screen of the stock app showing month and list of appointments of the day switches always to the local time zone.
When switched to the view "day" all time-entries are shown correctly for my home-timezone
Anybody noticed this ? Any solution to this ?
I started using Google Messenger recently, and one thing I noticed, is that when the phone is off to the side, and I get a new text message, the screen doesn't pop on, like it did with stock Messages and Textra.
Is there some Settings somewhere I need to enable that ?

From my experience, you need the Tasker app and set up a profile to turn the screen on. That is the only way I have found that works consistently. You will also need the Secure Settings app.
The Tasker app can seem overwhelming, but if you take your time and read some of the help files, it is actually pretty easy. I use the same app to turn my phone to vibrate when the phone links to my work wifi.

screen notifications or glimpse notification from the play store
How can we see more than the very last message notification from our IM apps? Whatsapp, Skype, Line, Viber and kakaotalk all show the absolute last message only. The previous messages flash by, sometimes too fast to read, and can't find a way to read them without opening the app on the phone.
you cannot read/view the previous messages if they you swiped them away from the phone or the watch. If you have a samsung phone, you can open the Messages app on your watch and look at the messages, but for whatsapp and other apps that are not installed on the watch, you can view the notifications that have not been swiped away yet. Does that make sense?
Not really.... Take any messaging app, imagine 5 messages were suddenly sent rapidly by the same contact, you haven't swiped any away on your watch. You can only see the last one and none of the previous 4. Is there a way you can see the previous 4 that came through on your watch too without opening the app on your phone?

Yes, that works fine. If a contact sends me 3 whatsapp messages, i can see all those (with white background, ofcourse). What i do is, go back to home screen, swipe the screen to the notification, click on it and you should be able to read those.

Hmm it does that with WhatsApp but not some others. On LINE you definitely don't see any previous messages only the last one. Seems like app dependant too.
