I just got Google Glass today. I have been playing around with it and I can text, call, take photos, facebook, etc. However, I see people have screens with the weather and with their schedule. How do I get this? Thanks in advance.
solution
I figured it out. For those newbies who may wonder: activate Google Now on your Glassware screen on the phone application.

Small problem regarding the facebook sync feature. Sometimes, people invite me to groups such as "5 000 000 Support Japan with a CLICK". I have RSVP'd "Not participating" on it, but it still shows up on my phone calendar.
To make matters worse, it's a recurring event which is every day at 14:00 or something like that, which clutters up my calendar. I have the same problem with some other events.
I can't find a way to delete it. I still want to use facebook sync function for birthday reminders and events that I actually do want to go to.
So, XDA, is there any way to solve this annoying little problem?
Go to the event page on facebook (the actual site, not the app). At the very bottom there is a link "Remove from my events". That should remove the event from your calander when it next syncs
I feel your pain. I am actually tempted to remove friends who do that on facebook.

Woop, blessed be thy soul! I was looking for such a function but I obviously didn't look hard enough.
Though I must say that putting such a button on the bottom of the page doesn't seem very user-friendly.
Thanks.
To me did not work, another idea, please?
That did not work for me either on my HTC Desire.
No matter what I do, the damn event persists on the calendar.
I've also tried deleting both Facebook, Facebook for HTC Sense and Calendar data, and still, with 0 data, the all day, 3 month event is there on the "facebook calendar".
Does anyone know where HTC Desire stores information on the facebook calendar's events?
Sweet lord, I finally found it!
From askmefast.com How_to_unsync_calendar_htc_android_facebook-qna301278.html (sorry for not posting link correctly, forum doesn't allow me to)
If u want to keep your facebook calendar but just remove that annoying event that is cluttering your calendar just open the event and hold the MENU key until the QWERTY keyboard appears then press backspace and an option to remove the event will appear!
That's it!
Thank God

I actually made an account for this forum just so I could thank you for that....I've been trying to do this for weeks. Genius, worked perfectly
I have the same issue and the HTC tricks not work for i9000.
Anyway to remove the unwanted recurrence facebook events? Even removing the event from facebook homepage can't fix the issue. The only way to work is clear the calendar storage then resync. However by clearing the storage all birthday info will be gone. (To fix this you will then need to clear the contacts storage.. and re-link all friends)
I am still looking for a way to remove the facebook event in i9000. Maybe editting the database directly can solve the issue. Any hints from XDA?
Hello,
I also have this irritating issue, and the solutions mentioned above didn't work on my SGS2. Any other suggestions? Having this idiotic event in my calendar every day is greatly annoying. I've tried deleting all data, resyncing, I don't have it on my facebook page... seems like a bug to me.
Solution?
Anyone?????????????????
To begin with I am a very unsophisticated Android user. I downloaded the noLED app today - and seem to be able to get the Gmail, message, missed call and voicemail icons "working". I have no luck with the Email account (Yahoo) I've checked in the Others icon. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? We have poor Verizon reception where I live (1x). I use Yahoo a great deal (Ebay). Help please. PS: The Yahoo account is supposed to sync every 5 minutes...that does not seem to be the case either. Thank you - I am grateful for any suggestion(s).
I personally find live tiles one of the best features of windows phone 7 and with mango 7.5 they were supposed to improve.
I thought it might be useful to have a list of apps which work with live tile updates and also where there may be some issues
on the stock apps i find the messaging, mail, calendar and call tiles work fine
the pictures tile is great now as it shows a screensaver with your favourite pictures - not sure if there is alimit to the number of pictures it shows in rotation
however i have had problems with the me tile and app in general
when i go into it the notifications do not update even though it is connected to facebook and facebook shows new notifications
regarding 3rd party apps i found the following work
beezz - displays counts of new twitter tweets
weather duck -displays temperature
those which i cant get to work at all are
twitter
facebook
has anyone else had similar problems with these apps
I never installed Facebook app because I found it redundant with People hub. Windows Live with Messenger and pretty much everything else that comes with Mango works very well for me.
I am on Mango 7220 and all my live tiles work - People hub (probably WP7's main selling point for me), phone, messaging, Me (and any people I pin to Start) Pictures shows the sliding pics from the camera roll album and defaults or favorites by choice, Calendar updates the events from pretty much everything you have going, was surprised to find Facebook event invites synchronised as well as appointments and birthdays. Overall it feels like WP7 ties everything together from every source and account.
So the solution to your problem would be Mango. Go for it, you won't regret it.

I Agree
Very simple indeed
Hi All,
Setup my device last night, and a while ago, I started creating all my phone contacts as google ones, so that on restore, or setting up a new device, syncing my google account would bring all my numbers down.
However I noticed something a little bit strange. Some of my contacts appear to have their pictures there, and look fine in the small thumbnail in the people app, but when opening up the picture, it has a strange dot filter applied to it.
I use HaxSync to add facebook pictures as my google contact pictures, and when viewing them from a web browser they are fine. Doesnt seem to happen to all, just a few.
Anyone encountered this too? Any ideas about how to get around it? Seems very odd
Regards
Jonny
Update, well there was definitely something strange going on, and I haven't figured it out, but as a work around, in gmail (on a PC) I exported all my contacts to a google file. This neglects to export images that are on the contacts.
I then deleted all my contacts and synced my phone up, basically removing all contacts, and removed HaxSync. I then imported my saved contacts and instead of using a third party app to get high resolution photos for contacts, I did a contacts sync from the facebook app direct.
The images pulled still seem to be of decent clarity so maybe its something to do with the way the phone (or contacts app) parses images that are embedded into your google contacts.
I actually remember reading in a review about this filter too - trying to find it, but not that important now really.
Anyway. If anyone figures out why it does it then that would be good, and probably helpful to others at some point

From my understading HTC have been quite clever
Google contacts as a general rule of thumb (pardon the pun) use small thumbnails. Only recently have they started using higher quality thumbnails for contacts. Anyway, if the image is of low quality instead of it being pixelated and looking like sh*t, they basically add the dot matrix filter to make it look a bit more professional. To be fair, hats off to HTC it works and they are the first people i've seen attempt such a thing.
The secret is to get gmail contacts all high res, the problem is i am still struggling on just how to do that, seemed to work fine on my nexus but it varies from one device to another, pain in the arse in all honesty.
Ah that seems to make sense. That would explain why it would happen on only a few specific pictures.
The Facebook contact sync still seems to be working well, and there are only a few that have the filter now. I might go and double check to if those that are filtered have low resolution pictures on their Facebook account.

i had that and i cured it by editing the picture in the contact .
Hope it helps

That is OK and definitely solve the problem. But to do it contact by contact having 1400 people in register and approx half of them are pictured, then it may be be time consuming process Interestingly I have not had this problem with my recently purchased xperia Z. Would be fine to solve it with an updated patch.
After recently purchasing a couple of Google Home Minis I have realised that Google seem incapable of bringing their departments together to make the gadget work properly with Google Calendars. Its so embaressing as the Amazon Echo actually works better with Google Calendars .. go figure!! If anyone can offer third party integration suggestions I would be really grateful.
First thing I noticed was that if I asked for my appointments for today, tomorrow, January etc it completely ignores my all day events .... I'm in the UK and I found a workaround for this by setting the language in the Google Home app to English (United States), apparently the U.S.A get new software versions earlier, indeed after this tweak in settings the Google Assistant recognises and reads out all day events.
The above regional fix however does not offer a solution for adding an all day event. The Google assistant does not recognise ' hey google add a new all day event' it still insists on asking for a time and if you say 'all day' for the time, it does not accept - anyone have a workaround or solution for this?
One other very annoying ommission is lack of integration with Google Keep. If I access my calendar via web browser, Googe Keep is tightly integrated for lists and nots, yet the Google Home team who seem to lacking a single iota of common sense have completley ommitted the option to use Google Keep for notes, lists and shopping list. - can anyone offer a solution or workaround?
The last and equally as annoying is if I say for example 'hey google what are my appointments for January' the reply is something like 'you have 8 appointments in January, here are your first 3' - who at Google in their infinite wisdom decided that everyone on the planet will only need to hear their next 3 appointments? Actually beginning to think that the people driving Google Home do NOT have an single grain of common sense between them. - Anyone have a solution or work around?
There are some other gripes like when adding an apointment using voice I don't have the option of adding a location, which is very important quite often I find....
Apologies for long-winded post wanted to put it all out there in case anyone would like to share solutions, altertive solutions to Google Calendar or thoughts....
I second all you've said. No integration with G Suite calendars either. Had to return mine.
