Galaxy S6 :: Get Map Navigation To Work From Calendar?
Jul 8, 2015
I just upgraded from an S4 to an S6. I've become quite reliant on using my Google Maps Navigation app from my Calendar app. On my S4 it worked perfectly. I could open an appointment (or a scheduled event) and click on the address (hyperlinked) I had put into the calendar and it would automatically open to my Google Maps app and start navigation from my current location.
Now on my S6 the when I use the address in the Calendar app it gives me the address with the word MAP next to it. When you click on MAP it opens a map but it doesn't appear to be Google Maps and it certainly is not set up for navigation purposes.
Or did Samsung eliminate this feature? (And if so, WTF... it was the one of most valuable features of my S4). Is there anything I can do besides copying and pasting the address into Google Maps so that it will be efficient and effective like it was in my S4?
Using whatever crap came with this new S6 Edge, I can't get my calendar to sync with my work calendar no matter what I try. (It's a Microsoft Exchange thing.) I have talked to Verizon tech support,as well as the IT people here are work and my settings are right. So....now I'm thinking about trying to install the Nine Exchange app, even though it galls me to have to pay for a calendar that will sync.
My question is, should I uninstall both the email and calendar that are on my phone now, and then set them all up again after Nine Exchange is installed? I guess I'm not clear on what the app is actually doing.
I have N8 and my phone is up-to date on everything. Lately somewhere after the latest Anna update my GPS wont connect anymore. I have tried various things to get the GPS working but without any results so far. Some things I tried to fix the problem: - I booted to factory settings and removed everything. - Went to settings and configured the GPS settings as suggested by Nokia's troubleshoot - Uninstalled/reinstalled Ovi maps While the ovi maps just gives me the text "waiting for GPS connection" when I go to main screen I can see the GPS icon and when I'll press it it states that GPS is available. Ovi maps wont get my location even after waiting for 20mins so I dont think that it just is slow.
In Maps when I find a place to go to and press ok it says Waiting for GPS. And never finds it. I need to restart the phone, then it works ok, but only for one route. New navigations are not possible again.
I am trying to get free navigation for my N97 but all my attempts fail, I have V3.01 but can not get the newer versions through SW Update or any other method.
Phone Details: Software Version : 21.0.045 Model : N97
I am disappointed on N82 navigation does not work for free.The problem is similar as on N958GB
"I have downloaded the maps and free navigation for my N95 and it works for a while. After about one minute of navigation, it asks permission to go on line and enter the shop. I say "OK". It then tells me it can not go online, even though I am connected by USB or using the wi fi.Then it stops navigation but leaves the GPS/maps running. I have used the options to visit the shop when not using navigation and on line and it tells me that no license updates are available. So, in conclusion, navigation does work on the N82 and not free of charge. Any ideas on getting around this?"
I bought a new C5-03 a week ago, I installed Nokia Suite and connected my phone to download and install maps for my country (Morocco).To use free GPS I followed instructions on a topic already published here, by selecting Integrated GPS only and disabled positioning server on Application settings and also disconnecting from the net. Afterwards I used Integrated GPS and finding my position was succesful. I saved it as My Home and was happy I had a functionning GPS Phone finally. A few minutes later I tried to use my GPS but it couldn't find my position.I don't understand what happened, but it already worked once for a minute before I stopped it. Why isn't working again?What are the default settings for Integrated GPS to connect without using internet? To make sure if something isn't OK.
When I check the installed applications on my Nokia 5800, i see a Nokia Maps and an OVI Maps. What is the difference between the two? Do I really need both maps? or I need both for the GPS w/ navigation to work?
I have nokia C5-03. I was silly and updated the software and the maps. Till the updating method everything works fine. After updating, the gps navigation does not work in offline mode (in online mode works fine). When I switch to offline mode (with only built gps, ofcourse without A-gps) -the c5-03 can find the gps coordinates quickly in my house, so the hardwer works absolutely fine - and try to give a target in car driving mode, c5-03 tells me that from this place there is no road available with car. In pedestrian mode the situation is the same, only the message is a little different. I tried to delete the cities dir, and rebuild and reload all from nokia suite with PC, but no changes, Offline navigation does not work. I rebuild the new software again, but without success. how to down-grade to the previous working fw?
I've the last version of nokia maps, but it happens always that the compass stop to work even if the icon is green and it lets me calibrate, also with other compass apps it happens.
My BlackBerry Curve 9300 track pad frequently does not work. When this happens I remove and replace the battery to reboot the phone. I sometimes have to do this up to six times before the track button starts working again. Once the button is working, within 10 minutes to half an hour the track button becomes inoperable again and I have to go through the same procedure again.
My Galaxy S5 is set up to synchronize with my Microsoft exchange server. Emails synchronize perfectly and calendar events entered on my Microsoft exchange account synchronize with my Galaxy S5. The problem is, calendar events entered on my Galaxy S5 do not synchronize to my Microsoft Exchange calendar.
I just bought a new lumia 710 here in Singapore and I am trying out the offline navigation. I've already downloaded the maps here but everytime I would search for the destination, the phone keeps on searching for it "online". I thought offline should work with Lumia
I have a problem with the gps navigation software that came with the phone. It used to be working, but now it seems that it can't find my location, although I have the gps signal activated.
if I start Navigation, it says: "Checking the availability of the navigation-function." Nothing more. Navigation wont let me in the Program. The message could be written different in english, because i have got it in german: "Verfügbarkeit der Navigationsfunktion wir überprüft".So, what is the matter? Why it's only checking? I went out for it, had free view to the sky, didn't put my fingers on the GPS reciever.....It checked for about 30 mins now, and nothing happens.
I downloaded the desktop manager, and am trying to sync my gmail on my laptop with my BB. When I try to set up the sync preferences, it gives me the options of outlook, yahoo, and ASCII importer. I use gmail, but not outlook. How do I sync these and the calendar as well?
I am unable to add any events. The calendar does not give me any option, on List, Day nor Month. All it does is show me the month and highlights the current day.
Recently bought a Sony xperia X10. Very nice phone so far. I just made an update for the operating software on the internet. Just afterwards when click on the calendar, this was not working and this message appeared.
the process com.android.calender has stopped unexpectedly. try again. I was forced to close and when I tried again and again it didn't work out.
I have done a factory reset, but the problem is the same before and after... Calendar reminder notifications are not coming in when they are supposed to. If I haven't used my phone in a while, I get no notification at the time the reminder is supposed to go off. It's not until I wake my phone up that the reminder will just come in at whatever random time it feels like.
As an example, this morning (just did the factory reset before bed last night) a reminder was supposed to go off at 6am (set to be 2 hours before the event). I woke up my phone at 6:09, the reminder wasn't yet there, and sure enough, it pops up after about 10 seconds. Before resetting, it was the same situation. If I woke it up 20, 30, 45 minutes after the reminder was supposed to go off, that's when it would show up.
Of course, if I try to test it by setting a reminder that is supposed to happen in the next couple minutes, then it comes up like a champ. My battery is always in Performance Mode, so the phone is never in a "deep sleep."
I just switched from the default Samsung calendar app to the Google Calendar app. Events from my primary Google calendar, "Personal", appear on the Google Calendar app on my S5, but the calendar itself doesn't appear as an option when creating new events or in the Settings page. As a result, I can see all of my events that I enter via my PC browser (correctly under the label "Personal"), but I cannot add new events from my phone to that specific calendar. My other, less frequently used Gmail calendars (Birthdays, work, a few shared calendars) appear.
I upgraded to OVI Suite from PC Suite and like some features but Calendar and Notes doesn't work anymore. I use Outlook 2003 on Windows 7. Here is my system information from OVI Suite: Nokia Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1 (although I had this same issue on my 3GS previously.)I have my calendar and mail synced with my work, which is using Microsoft Exchange. My issue is with the notes in some calendar entries (always meeting invitations.) They don't always show all the note content. Even with the "Show all notes" option is available.It's inconsistent - some show all the note content properly, others don't.
I am trying to synchronize my BB with my desktop and it turns out that recurring meetings are not being synchronized (neither direction). My desktop software is Evolution under Linux. I was wondering whether the data format BB uses to store and sync recurring meetings can be made available so that I can fix my synchronization software.
I've update PC Suit to its latest version, but dragging inside the calendar stop working after this update. What is not working is dragging the entry from hour/day to hour/day and changing its duration by the mouse. No cursor change, no effect. Both was working in the previous version. Is this a bug in new version, removed feature or is it some problem on my machine?
I've been really happy with the S6 and was able to customize most things that were bothering me, except this .In the app drawer, is there a way to change the way the navigation between pages work and make it like it was on the S5.On the S5, you could go to a specific page in one click on the bottom "bar", and you could hold you finger on it and slide to scroll quickly through pages.On the S6, none of those work, clicking a specific page in that bottom bar just goes to the next (or previous) page.Now that Xposed works, is there something that can fix this?
I've changed the voice on my S5 under Settings > Language and input > Text-to-speech options, but despite that, the navigation voice remains unchanged. It doesn't matter if I use the Samsung engine or the Google engine, I still get the original nav voice. Can this actually be changed?
I just got a new crackberry and found out that I can't sync with my work outlook email and calendar b/c it's on an exchange server. Is there a way around this?
