[Q] How to set default calendar view? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
How do I set the default calendar view on the G2? I can't seem to do it. I tried:
1) Keeping it in the view I want (Week) and pressing the home button
2) Keeping it in the view I want and rebooting the phone
Btw, I'm accessing calendar via the Calendar Widget and it defaults to day view ALL the time.
Thanks for any input!

HTC Home problems/questions

I have a few problems with the app and I was wondering if there was some remediation for them (including fixing my ignorance)
The automatic profile engages vibration mode during any calendar item, including free events
The weather doesn't auto update on its own, when I open the tab, it is either old or empty and starts to update then.
there is no snap back to the main tab
pressing the mail indicators doesn't take you to the account with new mail, it goes to the last account viewed
I have used HTC Home Customizer, but that mainly does colors and icons. I know it is free, but I'd like MORE from it for my convenience

First of all I use the standard/non mod HTC Home from this link, I also installed HHC from here.
I do not understand your first concern.
I guess with the second, it is a good point not wasting data when it's not needed, you only want to pull down data when required. So I actually like what it does and how it does it.
With the third concern, I put a device lock button and it snaps back to the home screen.
I have two email accounts set up for my device, one is a windows live, and another is a google apps account, basically Gmail via IMAP, so when I click on the mail it brings up the two accounts and let me see which one has the blue with 1 on it, indicating the mail box with new email.
Sorry can't be much help but just sharing what I experienced.
If I have an all day free event... like "Pay Day", it stays in automaic vibrate all day. If I delete the event, is switches to normal. It should only change into meeting/vibrate mode during "busy" events
I haven't found any switch back settings, where did you set that?
I have 4 accounts, 5 including sms/mms, so I have to page back and forth between accts looking for unread email. I suppose I can try to set the account picker as messaging start
I am now not following your 'switch back' function. I put device lock, and when I touch on that it locks the keyboard/screen and puts up the home screen
With events I set my diary and set it as 'free' it didn't interfere with the profile, but may be I have spb phone suite installed.
again I use the standard one and modified it with HHC.
Look at this! It might your profile that you selected.
I just uncheck that tab in the HTC Home options... Then I don't have to worry about it automatically changing my ringer to vibrate
I thought that I could just settle for HTC home, as it seems pretty light weight... but I need more functionality, so back to PhoneWeaver I go...and iLauncher I suppose

Refresh contact pictures

Hi to all,a simple question,when i connect my fb account for the first time,the most part of my contacts syncronize with their contropart pictures in facebook.
At that point i think that when someone change his picture,at the next syncronization,i can find this pictures correctly set with his account.....but this doesn't happen......
There is something i must do to refresh the photo of my contacts?
Go into People > Select the Online Directories icon at the bottom > Click FaceBook > it should begin to refresh automatically but you can hit Menu and then refresh to force it.
You can select a single contact to view them and then hit refresh to update that specific person.
Hope that helps.
I get connection error when i do that. Wifi working fine too.
I have the same problem, when I go to online directories and refresh it, it shows the correct pictures, but when I go back to the people tab, for some people it shows correctly the new pictures, but for others the old ones.
so it doesnt update them automatically? are the photos stored on the phone?
Also another question...i note when i link my google contacts to facebook ones it added the reference in the notes section on the google contact. Does this mean if I reset the phone and downloaded contact/facebook sync again it would match them together?
Im having the same issue with my HTC legend it wont show the new face book pics even when i refresh contacts! its pretty annoying it should do it auto really!
are the pics stored in the phone memory or cache memory?
I refreshed and it's fine, over WiFi
My issue is more to do with the favorites widget, I can refresh my facebook contacts fine and all the photos are up to date but when i go back out to the main screen to my favorites widget the photos are same as when i first synced the phone any body got an idea what i can do?
its really annoying me they should be updated automatically anyways!
anybody know of a widget similar to the HTC favorites one?

[Q] How to simply check the email?

Hello, I'm looking for the simplest way to check the email on my Desire.
I don't like autosync: if I have time to check the email I'll open the app by myself and I don't feel the need to be notified right now (also, I save the battery )
On the iPhone I used to simply tap on "Mail", then I could quit it and turn off the screen and wait for a notification (vibrate or sound) if the connection was slow.
On the Desire I have to open Mail (or Gmail), push the 'menu' button, tap 'refresh' and wait without exiting the application because I couldn't find a way to set a notification if I check email manually.
Is there some kind of widget/app that allows me to tap on it, turn the screen off and wait for a vibration if there is a new one?
I tried k-9, no luck.
Thank you!
The HTC mail app auto syncs when opened?
you can just add a bookmark of your mail to homescreen. this is what i do instead of facebook app. and there is also an option to refresh mail when you open app.

Yes it does, Just use the htc mail widget then configure it to never auto sync!
It does auto refresh when you open it, but most of the time I find it in background and that doesn't count as a new open...
Also, it doesn't vibrate on new messages if checked manually and I have a "bug" with gmail: it saves every sent message in the IMAP/sent folder and I see it twice on gmail on the desktop. Does someone know how to solve it?
Will try the widget for the next few days as suggested.
Thanks

[Q] Hidden Contacts Keep showing Up

Hi guys,
Sorry if this issue has already been posted. I've done some quick search and didn't find any effective solution.
My Galaxy Nexus is on stock 4.0.4, latest build available. I have three accounts set up on the device:
- Gmail 1
- Gmail 2
- Skype
I want only the contacts from account Gmail 1 to be shown in the People app and the contacts tab in the Phone app. I've tried everything. The standard setting where I select only contacts from the desired account to be shown doesn't work as it should. Once I quit the app and open it again, all contacts from the three accounts are shown. I also tried to remove all accounts and set them up again, no effect.
I am trying to avoid a factory reset. Is there any other option you guys can think about? Any setting that I may not know about?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Calendar Share Not Syncing?

OK, so yesterday I shared my calendar with my GF and my calendar was able to sync on her calendar app just fine. Today, she shared her calendar with me, and it won't sync with my phone for some reason. I can view her calendar under Google Calendar on my desktop, but it's not visible in my gapp. We are both using the Galaxy Nexus. I have tried force stopping the app and clearing data, but it did not work. I have refreshed it several times. I looked in "calendars to display" and "calendars to sync" within the app, and still only my account shows up. I looked at the desktop version and it says that I have access to view all events. Does anyone know how to fix this, please?
