Google calendar invites do not appear

Hi,

Having an issue where when I'm sent a calendar invite it does not appear on my phone calendar (widget or main app).

I have checked ALL normal solutions (storage is fine, sync is on and automatic, calendar is added etc etc).

I have a shared calendar in there too and things don't appear from that either.

Note: If I look up the calendar in a web browser, the event will be there, it just doesn't appear on my phone

If I manually sync it does then appear but as mentioned above, all settings are set up correctly.


HTC Calendar, or Google? The HTC widgets can work odd sometimes.

What's the best-looking smartwatch out there

Huawei Watch GT2 hardware seems pretty solid but I'd be pretty hesitant about leaving Wear OS (broken and deficient though it may be) for Huawei's software environment. At least Wear OS has fairly broad support from third-party app developers.

Exactly, and it (i hope) will just continue to improve. Especially with finally better hardware configurations, and *maybe* a true CPU upgrade.

Dropbox Shutting Down

Using a Samsung Note 8 and I am current on my updates. I will try uninstalling and re installing it. I dont know how to do power management

What version of Android are you on? Menu>Settings>About>Android Version

Check power management here: Menu>Settings>Apps& Notifications>DropBox>Advanced>Battery>Background restriction and Battery optimization. Change 1 or both settings and see if that helps.

Galaxy S10 stuck in safe mode

I appreciate all of your replies. This morning Google actually emailed me and allowed for a password reset for the Gmail account. I have since done so and have been able to log in and proceed. It is now restoring everything so I think we're good. I had initially posted here for ideas on a plan b in case Google did not come through. Thank you all again for the replies.

BestBuy Pre-Orders start 2/21

Dude, me too, but I just cover it with a case anyway.

I thought the same thing. Maybe the edges still pop out? lol. I have a Carbon Fiber case, which I love, but been thinking a skin from Dbrand. Something that allows me to still get benefit of deive size and color. Only reason I went case with Pixel is it slips from hand too easy. I used to go naked.

I don't use a screen protector either. But these apparently come with them pre-installed.

The Xone Phone saga

Thanks.

I am still in a quandary.. I'm not displeased with the phone but it still irks me that I didn't get what sucked me in in the first place.. It seems better specified as Oukitel apart from the 8mp camera versus 16mp in the original.
On the other hand I have had to person to person phone backs quickly. Would I have got that from Oukitel.. Doubt it. So there is some real support. What is that worth over the buy it direct normal price you could buy it. That is up to the purchaser.

Further to my opening post.
I miss the notification LEDs that had on other phones. You could tell by the colour if it was email, text or something else that was waiting. Instead, you have to open up the screen. Battery does last longer than the previous Sony I had despite a quite larger screen!

I actually think I'd look at buying an Oukitel C 'something' in the future.. There is a lot for the money.. Brand means nothing to me.. Just value.

But Hey.. Each to jus own..

Unwanted recent keyboard changes

How do I get the comma back on my keyboard? Just recently, the comma transformed into an @ symbol, which I don't mind looking for on the symbols keyboard when (rarely) I need one. I use the comma every message. Other posts elsewhere indicate pressing the space bar would bring up a comma on the suggestion bar -- it doesn't. How can I get the comma back on the keyboard? And if you have any insight, why would a developer purposefully do something so annoying to begin with?

Do you have access to the settings of the keyboard app?

There may be a selection that allows some customization.

Anyway, there are many, many, many different keyboard apps.

Depending upon your needs/wants, there is one out there that you might like.

Personally, I like Simple Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard.

Simple is cool, because punctuation and numbers are visable on all keys, and are accessed by a long press.

And don't forget, you can have more than one keyboard app.

I use Simple for portrait view, and Hacker's for landscape view.

How to save contacts in Gmail?

I'm wondering how my gmail is locked? And of course I don't know which account and the other.
I have a device with Android 9, which is locked after the invoice reset of my phone and the password will go to Google account
Please help me find out how this password is. </p>

Disable or Force stop

Hey thanks for answers. I'm using a ZTE Max Android phone it's 7.1or 2,or something like that. Also unless I spelled it wrong which three sisters think I'm having trouble finding it on apkpure app store. By chance you or anyone know if it's on there. Thanks to google app store and a couple of real nasty virus that about 99% sure got them from the couple of apps from app store. Been trying to get away from Google and chrome,it ain't easy. Thanks everyone.

Re: S7 sd card corrupted after update

‎06-13-2018 11:27 PM

Well i hate to tell everyone but formatting your card is not necessary. All you have to do is turn your phone off and wipe the cache partition. When you reboot your phone after this process you will have all the data that was on the card back where it belongs. I just did this myself on my s7 edge because something in the update (oreo) caused my sd card to show corrupt. Turn phone off,hold volume up,home,and power keys all at dame time. When android comes on screen release power key, then other keys. Navigate down to wipe cache partition message with volume down key. Select message using power key. When next screen pops up select yes , then select reboot system on following screen. . Phone will restart and you are done. Hope this helps.
