Have a OnePlus 7 Pro coming. Really excited to see what the buzz is about.

Does any store in Calgary have a Oneplus 7 or Oneplus 7 pro to play around with?

First major android problem I've had that I couldn't fix with google in ages, or ever. I bought a new S10 (thanks ash lol) and I noticed last couple days my calendar wasn't sycing. At all. I tried all the fixes I could find on google, and nothing. Have to full whipe my god damn phone and see if that gets it to act right.

edit: It seems like there's still syncing issues. Urge to kill is rising.

Does anyone else notice on their phone a lot of old appointments and schedule items are gone, but, on a desktop version of google they exist?

Took a quick look on my phone and no issues that I could find between the desktop and mobile versions of the google calendar.

Wow this is really weird.

So I'm looking at May on my windows app thru my surface. I can see non work appoinmtents, no work. on my phone I can see the opposite, work appointments but not the non work ones. On google I can see them all.

Awesome and now Bomber games I have in my calendar are all gone on my phone. Showing online and on my windows app.

edit: Of course, no one from google is available to do anything, I'm on my own. My calendar is all ####ed up and I have literally no recourse.

I can't believe I'm actually considering switching to apple but here we are. My entire life is in the calendar, it's not acceptable to have this all ####ed up.

edit2: I go and make a change to an event, and, then it shows up in my google calendar. What a ####ing nightmare. I can't rely on my calendar at all, it's like a crapshoot. Whats the point in having an online sync'd calendar if it's totally unreliable?

Do you have multiple calendars? I have one for regular appointments and then I have others for things like the Flames schedule. The stuff you’re missing could be turned off on the phone. Check the settings.

Also are you using the Samsung calendar app? If so download Google calendar.

That sounds as frustrating as when I call Telus and and the customer service agents can't help me with my PVR issues.

In the end the only thing that fixed it was updating everything that was missing, it would then suddenly pop up in my apps.

Samsung and Google phone apps for the same. I even did a full reboot of my phone erasing it and starting from scratch.

The only thing I can think of is that I just changed phones and perhaps that had something to do with some events disappearing and others still being there.

I would try going into the app settings and clearing both cache and data. This *should* erase everything on your phone and force a sync. I'm not 100% sure though, so be cautious.

I'm just thinking something got corrupted when you migrated over to the S10. It happens.

I should add that I never have issues using Google Calendar and my family uses it extensively. I change calendar apps all of the time out of boredom and have never experienced anything like this.

what's your favourite calendar app so far?

I keep going back to "Business Calendar 2" by Appgenix Software because it fits perfectly for my use case. It seamlessly combines several calendars into one view and it has a very customizable widget, which is the single most important thing to me. I average 25 or so meetings per week so being able to see things at a glance is a huge deal.

I paid for the pro version, which unlocks a few more features and gets rid of the ads.

[Galakanokis]

I like Agenda. Just a widget but multiple calendars and lots of tweaks to make it look how you like.

[DownInFlames]

I’m glad I got the S10+ and didn’t wait for the Note 10. It’s seriously missing so many features.

Hey samsung users. Quick question.

Do any of you get ad pushes from the samsung internet app? Ive blocked the app as best i can since you cannot uninstall it and yet the ad pushes still come up.

Ive checked all my apps, ive ran malware scans from here to timbuktu, virus scan and the whole nine. Even had the freedom mobile people loom at it.

If this is a common thing im back to putting samsung on the no buy list. I gave them a chance and this sucks. Doesnt matter what im doing the app opens.
