Android – The events window seems to only show events happening at the specific time and clicking doesn’t show daily events

Posted on by primaryt

On my windows device I used my calendar to oversee what I was doing on the day, it was on my “Today” screen. On my android it is now 2 clicks to get to my daily events. One click would of been acceptable but 2 isn’t. Anyone know the fix?

Posted on by primaryt

Anyone know if its possible upload multiple photos to picasa on the Android OS? I have the picasa tool added I think, I went to the market and searched for picasa and it didn’t come up anyways.. I can share individual photos straight to picasa..

Extended message: “This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services”.

Cause: You didn’t setup a google account when you first switched on the phone.

Solution: Reset the phone to factory default and once it boots back up go through the setup procedure (choose language, skip the input demo, add google account).

How to do a Reset: Press the house (home) – Settings – Security and scroll down to Factory data reset – Follow the procedure…

WARNING: You will lose all the data on the phone when you do a reset
