Is it possible to verbally schedule or put in appointments through Google now. I know that I can make alarms, but I need to put in appointments into my calendar. Every time I turn on now and say' schedule meetings appointment for tomorrow at 7 pm'' but it just does a Google search. Also is there a Google now guide or user guide I can look through for all the different commands.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DizzyThermal:
I was wondering the same thing.. If someone could tell us if this is possible, it would be appreciated :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I believe it's there when you set an event in your calender's.

Also you must be sure your event are on same account.

for example you are using XDAxda@gmail.com on you google now and calender.

then that event should show up in google now.

hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marsy00:
Nope, my accounts are the same on NOW and calendar... yes, if i schedule a meeting in calendar it shows up in NOW, but not vice versa... I have the same issue as OP with trying to verbally schedule a meeting in NOW. Pretty much anything I say in NOW just does a gsearch...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maris_:
It's been a while since I set it up, but you have to go to your calendar on the web and somewhere in settings there is a checkbox for events. Then you can send your calendar a voice text and it creates the appointment
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phyxius33:
hey guys.. this may help you learn how to set up your google now: androidauthority.com/how-to-setup-configure-and-use-google-now-98749/

Add Calendar entries: To add calendar entries, you first need to log on to your Google Calendar account at calendar.google.com Then click on the gear icon and “Calendar Settings.” From there, click on the “Mobile Setup” tab and follow the on-screen instructions. After you have entered the verification code sent to your phone, create a phone contact named “Calendar” and set its phone number as “48368.” Once that is done, you can use Voice Actions to create calendar items using the following format: Send text to calendar [event name] on [day] at [time]. For example: Send text to calendar “dentist appointment” on Friday at 11 AM. You will receive a text message confirming the addition of a calendar item if successful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Sounds like a lot to do just to add a simple calendar entry especially in this day and age. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wasya152:
This is retarded. I can't schedule an appointment verbally. I tried it on my friends s3 with voice and it did it right on the first time. Its embarrassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Filipe_Aguiar:
Google now is great... But this issue get me down. It's plain simple, but the Gnow doesn't do this.

Other thing that I've noticed: if you ask, for example, "who is the president of united states" it answers correctly: Barak Obama. But if I ask: "who is Barak Obama?" that little thing show me web results only. Isn't that weird?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9kracing:
I just use S-Voice to set appointments, Google for everything else. S-Voice works well for setting calendar entries. I just say "Appointment tomorrow at noon, pick up Jessica", and it sets a calander event for 12-1p titled "pick up Jessica". It gets it right about 90% of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
"When is my next meeting?" opens web search. It should show when, what and where is your next appointment...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markfll:
From Svoice, just say "What's on my calendar" to get your upcoming events or appointments. Worked for me. It even told me of the upcoming phases of the moon, if you have it enabled in calender.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
You may thank Apple for the loss (hopefully temporary) of "unified search". It is part of the current patent litigation in California. 4.01 and newer wiped that out. If your friend's S3 still does that the carrier just hasn't disabled it yet. Unlocked S3s got disabled directly by Samsung recently as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
I understand what you're saying, but I think it has to do with your former question having only one definitive answer - while the latter question could technically have unlimited answers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigluc:
S-Voice is such a blatant copy of Siri, it should be deactivated on all Sam**** devices. Google Now at least works in a different and innovative way (being location aware and all).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timpohladthomas:
All you have to do is say, "calendar (event) on (date) at (time)... And your good to go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImSherlocked:
"When is my next meeting?" works now :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volarchico:
They recently updated the Google Search app. It added the feature to add meetings to your calendar and check what your next appointment is (as well as open apps). However, I have had on & off luck with it actually scheduling appointments.

I once said: "schedule appointment for tomorrow at 7 pm for [event name]". It properly recognized what I said (the text appeared correctly), but it added the appointment on my calendar for two days later at 9 am...

I'll try the phrase mentioned above starting with "calendar..."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonboydbboy:
I have also been wondering about this, and this seems to be the answer! Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrxphantom:
I recently got a Phone from the insurance because my last epic 4g touch's power button stopped working.

Since i got it the preference button (bottom left button) always activates and it is really annoying.

I used the phone stock for like 10 minutes but then i rooted it and tried several roms that i had used in the past and i am always getting this pop up screen like i am pressing the preference button.

this isnt normal right?

I should request for an new phone.

any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

You mean the menu button? If so yes, my friend had same issue where the phone had to be replaced.

When you get a phone through Asurion, they warranty your phone now. If you call and talk to their tech, they should overnight you a new phone. New, in a retail box, no Asurion sticker.

Hello guys,

I am thinking of installing Camera Fix for Nick's Aura Rebirth Rom today. Can anyone please post the final camera fix for this ROM which is working. I tried to look through the posts. I finally found this:

Is this the same or is there any other fix for the camera on this ROM. I am also thinking of Installing ARHD> Confused between the two. Any help someone.
[Nokia Lumia 900] gbjohnson:
I love my lumia 900. The lumia is a very capable phone. BUT its held back. I believe this is our fault, when the iPhone hit the market, they made the platform conform to what the people wanted, we added functionality. WP7 has be more than under utilized, the core has been around for more than a decade, I can count the main developers who have made

ANY

progress in the WP7 unlocking field on

no more than one hand

. I look at the forum, its SAD, it's a sad angry wasteland that has done nothing, gone nowhere, and

has no plans

.

We have no direction.

Any other platforms dev page is fast, exciting and interesting. Now that the end of the line has been announced, are we just going to let it happen, or are we going to go out with a bang?

This is just my rant. I'm just as angry at us as i am at Nokia or Microsoft.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Ok. So do you or don't you think the Cubs will win the World Series...ever.
[Nokia Lumia 900] gbjohnson:
In this situation, nope. Its replacement has been announced, its obsolescence has been announced. We are the last WP7.X dev team.
[Nokia Lumia 900] whoopwoop:
Completely agree with you. Honestly this forum is just Q&A/Troubleshooting for the 900. Even the 800 has a custom rom now, never mind the 710 (like 3 custom roms). We should at least be getting some kind of custom rom, even if it's just changing colors of the tiles or removing core apps.
[Nokia Lumia 900] efektos:
The community will get its rightful push at the second there would be an Interop-unlock method available to the Lumia 900. Until that occur, this community is nothing more than (as mentioned above) a Q&A community, not different than any other Q&A community out there... Problem is, that I can't see any unlocking method being developed for the device... :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] neel2004:
I'm having a problem with my GS3 (US AT&T version) that I finally got my grubby paws on today. I bought the 32GB Samsung Class 10 metal MicroSD card for it from a legimate source, and verified its speed and function with H2testw.exe. It passed the tests, and both of my computers can see the card when plugged in through my card reader. It is already formatted as FAT32.

When I insert the card into my phone and turn it back on, and then go to storage in settings, it does not recognize the card. The option to mount the SD card is grayed out, and a reboot doesn't fix the problem.

Does anybody have any ideas on what could be going on?

Hopefully I didn't get a defective phone, since I already installed a Skinomi screen protector and would hate to buy a new one, and because the phones are pretty much out of stock everywhere around me.

[Android Themes] Fun With Drugs:
So I've been pretty good about doing everything on my own, ever since I learned how to edit the manifest and stuff.

But there are a couple of themes (yes I'm still on GB rom), that don't have a manifest at all. Anywhere inside the mtz.

The locks that don't have them are usually the 'default' locks. Like the slide down lock, with 3 targets. Phone, time/unlock and sms.

I wanna change some minor stuff, like date format, charging text, etc.

In the lockscreen file, it's just like 5 images. No manifest or anything.

Any ideas?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mi11er220:
Yesterday, I was watching netflix, when out of the blue my xoom screen went really dark. At first I thought it froze up/randomly shut off, so I did the power+up vol reset, and it rebooted, but the Motorola logo was so dark I could hardly see it. It would still boot up just fine, but everything was so faded that I had to hover right over the screen and squint in order to see it. I was able to navigate around a little bit, till the screen went totally blank(on, but black).

I tried playing with it just a couple minutes ago but it wont turn on, which hopefully means the battery finally died so I can recharge it to see if that makes any difference(I dont think it will, but crossing my fingers anyways).

Now..I'm THINKING this is a hardware issue because even in recovery, the screen was still super super faded. I've restarted it since the screen went totally blank, and Its got nothing now. My rom I'm using was a Team EOS nightly, I think from some time last month, and I have a Canadian market wifi xoom.

P.S. The power button will still turn the screen on and off..and after the screen went black It still made the 14% battery left noise.

Any suggestions at all!? As appealing as the Nexus 7 is..I like my xoom..and I dont feel like spending money on another tablet when i've only had this one since last April. :(

TL;DR My xoom screen went so dark the colors were pretty much non existent, and the screen was still super faded in recovery/during the boot sequence. Now it only responds to the power button some of the time, and will reset(I'm assuming)when I hold UP VOL+Power. I'm using an older EOS Nightly, and This happened out of the blue with only a slight over clock.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
Screen being super dark is usually the back light. Sorry I can't help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaosgod27:
Unfortunately sounds like your LCD back light is broken. So what you're going to have to do is replace the whole LCD screen on the XOOM which can cost quite a bit. Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mi11er220:
Shameless selfbump, but interesting thing is the backlight comes on, just nothing shows up. Did the xoom just manage to brick itself in the middle of a movie on netflix? Also, If I plug the xoom into my computer, the prompt pops up almost immediately showing all the stuff that is ON the xoom. Thoughts?:eek:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robbie_G:
Mods, when you close a thread for duplicating information/questions/topics, can you link to the thread that has the original information/answers? It becomes difficult when you are searching the forums for an answer, and you find threads asking the question you need answered, but all they have are a post from a moderator saying "Already been asked. Locked."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
They would prob expect you to do a little of the work to find the topic or information YOU are looking for ..they r not secretaries
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
That was the point. When you try to do a search you get a lot of results with questions but no answers. This makes it difficult to do your own "work".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazydazed:
That's why its called "work".. If it was easy then you'd already know how to do it... Part of the experience is finding wrong threads that may not pertain to what you think they should, but you learn (how to search on your own and not have everybody cater to you) regardless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
You must be joking...

Clutter does not make anything better. Not the board and not the users' experience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
I've never had an issue..usually I can even google and find an xda thread about what I'm looking for..I guess everyone's expectations are different..regardless its not the mods job to do it for you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Throckmorton:
I can generally find my answers too. But once in a while there will be a hot issue that lots of people ask about. Their questions usually contain all the key words, so search results come back filled with clutter.

A moderators first job is to protect the board and the integrity of the data. It is also a mod's job to help make sure the board provides a good user experience. Somtimes that means cleaning up threads. This might include merging them, moving them or deleting them. If a mod knows infor exists elsewhere then he already knows where it is. To expect him to put that link into a thread he locks is _certainly not_ too much to ask.

Hint: I run a forum too, and have several moderators.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quis89:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
we dont typically do this b/c at times it makes a mess when merged, is a complete hassle to do, and also more importantly wouldn't teach people to take a few extra min to look around and find what they are looking for on their own and learn...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
and the reason you dont see a link a lot of the times when threads are closed b/c other threads are already present......its b/c 9/10 times the thread that they should of posted in to begin with was on the first page of the very same section they post in....

Also we dont always have the time to pull up and copy the link to the thread for the user...

Closing this one, btw...if you have any questions feel free to PM ANY of us about your concerns/comments....were a open gang here

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jaxidian:
Have you restored any application backups with TiBu or something similar? If so, then that app's ringtones could be set to play a random ringtone. With the right software installed, this could mean a random song. If this is the problem, just set that app's ringtones again to fix it.
