Problem with calendar

Mon, 30 May 2011 15:15:32 GMT

My x10 mini has up until yesterday had no problems showing different calendars at a time.

But now it shows no calendars at all, except for Week Numbers. All days have the entry "All day: Week XX". I have tried:

- logging on to the Google Calendar from the laptop and turned Week Numbers off, but it stays on the phone.

- updating the phone

- synchronizing the phone/calendar

- turning auto-sync on and off

- clearing cache

- rebooting the phone multiple times

I have found solutions for other phones which include going to the calendar and pressing the menu-key. But nothing happens, so it appears the x10 mini does not have that function.

So my questions are:

What happened to the calendar?

What can I do to correct it?

I have searched this forum for answers as well, but have had no luck finding a solution for this problem. I really hope you can help me.

Thank you in advance.

While a new calendar could help, I would prefer it if I got the native one to work.

As mentioned, I have already tried going to the native calendar and pressed Menu, but nothing happens. Regrettably, I don't think you have that function on an x10 mini.

Any other ideas?

Thank you for your help 🙂

so in other words, go to

settings -> accounts & sync -> make sure background data and auto-syn are selected, tap on Google -> make sure calendar is selected

Re: Problem with calendar

Tried all that, unfortunately...

I am currently backing everything up. Might try a reboot of the Google account altogether.

That might do the trick, right?

Re: Problem with calendar

make sure you sync your contacts with google

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Done.

Is there a way to send all text messages to the SIM card?

Re: Problem with calendar

Uliwooly — Mon, 30 May 2011 21:58:30 GMT

Something better than that

SMS use

backup & restore SMS

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result

and for your MMS use Save MMS
