[Q] Moto Assist working with multiple calendars? - Moto X Q&A

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?

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.

The latest version of Assist (2.3.15) seems to have solved this issue. Secondary calendars are working again for me now.

Does everyone's calender act this way?

When I open calender and switch to month view, I try to select a future date for which I have nothing scheduled and instead of going to the day I selected, it goes to the last day have something scheduled. Does that make sense? Anyone else find this annoying ?
Yep - happens here also
I work night shifts and want to figure out how to get the times to show up on the lock screen instead of Wednesday - Thursday as I don't work the same times everytime.... :/
Doesn't happen to me - when i press future date from month view calendar, it goes to the future day i selected.
Calendar option: Windows live is ON
phone name and model: HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.07004.0
FW Rev#: 2250.09.12302.728
Same as BlueGreenWhite, doesn't happen on mine. When i select a future date from Month view, it opens up that date.
It depends whether you are in a day or agenda view (before accessing the month view). If you are in a day view it'll go to the selected day, if you are in agenda view it'll go to the next day with appointment which makes sense as days without appointments aren't displayed in agenda view.
There you go, Mystery solved
Thanks, makes complete sense
Calendar working good.
I sync with Gmail Contact and Calendar. Everything works fine except that the Birthdays recorded into Contact cannot be show/sync on HD7 calendar.
Thanks for the tip, it does now make sense!
Another problem I have just found, after one month has passed calendar appointments disappear from handset calendar (not reoccuring ones) but remain OK on Windows Live Calendar on PC/in Outlook. This is a problem for me as I like to keep all my past appointments with me on the handset.
Does anyone else have the same problem?

I wouldn't call that a problem. Why is it so important to have past appt's on your calendar?
Past appointments are important to keep on the handset as sometimes I need to refer back to certain dates in meetings.
Past Calendar is IMPORTANT

Yes. Agreed. Past calendar is very important when you need to trace back your appointment.
I do have the same problem, I think something wrong with the Sync . . .
Under Windows Live (Primary), the setting only allow to check/uncheck the Mail.
Under Gmail, the setting allow to check/uncheck the Mail, Contact & Calendar.
Sometimes can sync and sometimes can't. Waiting for the FIX from Microsoft.
Yes, I am hoping this will be fixed by Microsoft in the next update. Will be most dissappointed if it is not.

Deleting facebook event syncs

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
wild_oscar
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?????????????????

[Q] ANSWERED - Moto Assist - Meeting

I used to have a number of valuable SmartActions configured on my RAZR M, one that I really appreciated was used to silence the phone in meetings. What I really liked about it was that it was smart enough to differentiate between meetings with others invited and events that were on my calendar for my own information. It doesn't seem like the meeting function of Moto Assist is this sophisticated, does anyone know if it can be done?

Allegedly, meetings where you’re marked as "Available" will not trigger meeting mode. So if you add a calendar entry, make sure to verify your availability if you don't want it to activate during an appointment.
^ I am playing around with this now, it conflicts with how I manage my work calendar, but I can work around that if necessary.

You can also tell it which calendars to check under "More options..." in the Meeting section of the Moto app.
Problem with exchange-servers
Meeting mode doesn't work for me. I have a corporate sync account in android for exchange push with my work account. The only calendar i want the phone to be silenced is that acoount. This works when I create an appointment myself, but just does not work when I was invited to an appointment. Outlook on PC marks the appointment as 'booked' so regarding all triggers from moto help, it should be fine. But nothing happens. Did I miss something. Any suggestions?
Asked support about it, answer was a joke imo.

I don't have any suggestions, but I have seen inconsistent behavior, specifically in the problem I detailed above.

I've got the exact same issue. Kind of a pain. Not that is should matter but what app are you using for the exchange sync? I'm using nine and have the issue.

[Q] Recurring Calendar Entries

hi,
i seem to have an issue with creating recurring calendar entries on my z3c.
using the built-in calendar app or 3rd party apps, i can create a calendar entry but as soon as i make it recurring, it doesn't show up.
does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong ? can someone test creating a recurring appointment on their z3c ?
thanks in advance
Im not sure it helps but it works perfectly for me.
I can only think it might have something to do with your google account sync? Have you set that up?
It might be completely unrelated. I cant think of anything else except maybe clear the data from calendar and restart
hi there,
thanks for taking the time to reply - much appreciated.
i sync my local device calendar (i.e not google) with another pc and the items have appeared on the sync'd calendar but still don't appear on my own device which is odd.
at least i know it's specific to my device rather than a z3c issue - thanks for that.
Hi
I have the same issue with my Z3. When I enter a recurring appointment, it doesnt show on the phone. It shows on every other device expect the Z3. Any solution?
Best regards
works fine for me as well.. could it be you create the recurring event in a calendar that is not selected to be displayed on your z3c ?
e.g. I have multiple calendars I sync with google, but I have selected several to not display on my device (they are synced though), maybe you have similar setup and post the new event to a device calendar by default that is selected to not display...
In my case, thats not the issue. I only use one calendar in Google. I've used the same calendar for years, on different phones, and in different apps, without any problems. The problem ocurred when switching to Sony Z3.

I believe the Sony has a "device" calendar though, that doesn't sync to google.. so chances are you are creating the event correctly in your google calendar, which is then synced to your other devices - but the sony is set to display the device calendar, which is obviously empty.. look into the left hand side pull-out menu on the sony calendar app and see which calendars are checked to display..

P10 Calendar problems

I like feature to get my phone in silent mode when in the meeting, which is automated in P10! But...
...I have a version of VTR-L09C432B113 and I'm facing a problem with calendar app. After few days of use, I believe my calendar DB get corrupted somehow as it works fine until then. I did clear cache and deleted account corporate calendar associated to it which did fix the problem (Google calendar events worked fine!). However, I face similar problem just after two days later (Now both google and corporate calendars are not visible anymore), plus app gets crashing. I also have a google calendar sync activated to the google account and I have read that other Huawei phones have had a different kind of problems with it. I also tried to install google calendar after 2nd-time problem occurred as a tryout and it seems that google app get crashing as well => which leads my assumption that problem is in the object where calendar events are stored or so.
Questions:
1) Could I just delete this calendar object (common for both apps?) which has meeting/event info in w/out re-creating account every 2 days&Clearing data? If yes, where it´s located and how could I do it?
2) is this known issue in Huawei P10 or other new models?
3) Do you know if "automatic silence"- feature in phone work with google calendar?
Thanks for info!
