"Fake event to work around calendar issue"

I've got a Samsung Stratosphere running Android 2.3. When I search in the Calendar app for an event, it always first briefly shows a list of all events, then shows the search results. Inevitably, at the top of the list of all events is one that says, "Fake event to work around calendar issue." It is set on 01/01/1975 from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, with no repeats and no alarm. When I go to that date on the calendar on the phone, there it is, listed on the calendar linked to my e-mail account; but when I check my online Google Calendar, there is no such event on that or any other date on any calendar.
There seems to be no harm in leaving it there, and I wonder if there'd be any harm in deleting it. A quick Google search showed that this is an event that shows up on many Android phones synced to Google Calendar, sometimes with repeats or alarms. (For example: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/607134#607134; http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x/45510-problems-google-calendar-fake-event-work-around-calendar-issue.html.)
Has anyone else here experienced this? Has anyone successfully deleted it?

My little Google search showed it occurring for at least a couple of years now across a spectrum of Android devices from various manufacturers. Which suggests that somehow the big G is responsible for whatever it is. The version history for a 3rd-party calendar app maker suggests that this "bizarre event ... that Google Calendar puts in at times" might be "Bug? Google programmer forgot to remove debug code? Weird kludge by Google Programmers?": http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/PimlicalAndroidVersionAndSlipstreamHistory.htm (scroll down to the bottom). Frankly, striding forward to conquer the world while never getting around to fixing rubbish from years ago seems like Google's M.O. these days.

"Fake Event to Work Around Calendar Issue" on Google Calendar

My husband noticed the following message on two days of his Google Calendar on his phone "Fake Event to Work Around Calendar Issue". Has anyone else had this experience and if so, why did it happen? How do we avoid in the future"?
I logged onto the calendar online and it doesn't appear there, just on his phone.
Thanks

What Calendar APP are you using? Sounds like an APP issue to me, since you're not seeing it on GOOGLE Calendar online. I am not seeing your error on mine ...

VPN-User,
Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.
Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those. This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
Thanks for your patience

Work day calendar issue

Hi,
I am new bee for JDE.
my client has a problem with work day calendar revision window.
un fortunetely century setting is changed from 20 to 19.
so, i am not able to anything with that document.
any one help me "how to reset the century from 19 to 20".
Regards,
imp

Already resolved!
Turns out that the email also contained an address. Since the address was not on new lines; the location in the event had new lines coded in it. Exchange doesn't like this!
So; copied the address in the event; cleared it, pasted it back (removes line breaks?!) and then wahoo: sync!

How can I work around this issue when buying a new mac? And what will the difference be in speed?

OK. In a nutshell.
I am getting render times (converting to H.264 for web, 8000kbps, 720x1280) of about 25 minutes with my current Macbook Pro - 4GB ram. Without doing anything else with the machine.
First question - how much can I reasonably expect this time to reduce to with:
A. 21.5-inch: 2.5GHz
2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
1920 x 1080 resolution
4GB (two 2GB) memory
500GB hard drive1
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB
- - - OR - - -
B. 15-inch: 2.2 GHz
2.2GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz
500GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB GDDR5
Built-in battery (7 hours)2
Am I going to buy myself much time?
Secondly I would like to keep my existing MacBook Pro. Installed on this machine I have FCP 6. I regulary edit as I own a produciton company. I cannot upgrade to Lion as it does not support FCP 6.
I could upgrade to FCP 7 (which would cost a fortune and still would only provide one licence) or FCP 10. The later is attractive, but looking at Apple's Specs, I meet all the specs on my MacBook bar the graphics card. I have a GL Graphics Card (GeForce 8600M GT) but for some reason this is excluded from the list of acceptable graphic cards.
So...the possibilities are:
A. Get a iMac. Downgrade it to Snow Leopard. Back up from my Time Machine so FCP is now on both machines. Is this even possible? Since the license will only cover one machine?
B. Get a iMac. Keep as Lion and buy FCP 10. Upgrade MacBook to Lion, but partition the drive with Snow Leopard so I can still have FCP 6. Download FCP 10 to my MacBook and hope it works even though my graphics card is not supported (I hear it might). How do I even get FCP 10 on my MacBook? Will it tell me I cannot install it because it recognises I don't have the right graphics card?
C. Get a MacBook Pro. Do all the above, but if it doesn't work, sell my old MacBook Pro.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

File download dialog box events and work around

Hi all,
I have a amall problem.
when i set content type and header for downloading a file which is generated from the server i get a "file download dialog box" (open/save/cancel)
but the problem is i cannot capture the events i.e. if the client clicks 'cancel' since i cannot capture 'cancel' i cannot do some other modifications that need to be done when the file is not downloaded.
is there any way which i can track if the file is actully downloaded by the client or not??
Or is there any way i can just by pass this dialog box and get a "save as dialog box" which enables him to choose a location directly download to his hard drive.(In this case i ll get a javascript confirmation before actully creating the file)
i am using IE6SP1.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Just using JSP/HTML/Javascript code I don't think there is a way to do what you want. You might be able to do so using a Java Web Start application - like a download manager.

Working around broken child/sibling classes

I need some suggestions for working around broken classes in my class hierarchy. Here is my situation:
I have an application which makes use of "plug-ins" to implement the program's functions. Each plug-in is a member of a common parent class called "Step.lvclass", and has various methods which implement each step's functions. The main program, the base Step class, and all of Step's child classes are members of the same project.
Unfortunately, I've found that if any of Step's child classes are broken, it breaks the Step class ("One or more of the set of VIs which this dynamic dispatch subVI or property item may call are broken.") and all of Step's child classes ("The parent of this LabVIEW class is broken").
Since each of Step's children are dynamically loaded in the application, this isn't a huge problem for the application. If the user attempts to load a broken plug-in class, they simply get an error message and the plug-in doesn't load. However, for development, this is a huge problem as I can't run any of the member VI's of any of Step's subclasses as the classes are broken.
Any throughts on how to work around this issue? Is there anyway to temporarily unload or ignore a broken class? The best solution I've found so far is to remove the broken class from the project, save & close the project (otherwise it is still in "Items in Memory"), the reopen the project.

Yep, it appears to be the same issue. I too had assumed it was the intended behavior, rather than the undesireable-but-currently-unavoidable behavior described in the thread Steve posted. As Aristos Queue posted in that thread, this issue is highly annoying for the users who run into it.
So has anybody out there found a good work around for this issue? Something to make the a project more usable when one-of-many sibling classes is broken.

Volume output way to soft..Any work arounds?

Hi all...ive tried doing a search on this subject but couldnt find any solutions...I have noticed that the sound output for my laptop is way too soft for my liking...I went into the sound properties and have disabled all enhancements as I have noticed with the enhanements on the volume constantly fluctuates (too too sure why but it does)...When my lap top isnt plugged into external speakers I can barely even play games on it because I really cant hear anything..maybe im going deaf but even my POS 4 year ol Hp puts out louder sounds than our Qosmios...For sure the Harmon Kardons can take more than whats being thrown at it so if any one has any suggestions on how to achieve this please do let me know...Someone suggest SX Fidelity Amplifier but for the full version it costs money...Im looking for a preferably free way to work around this issue...Thanks!

If your laptop uses the Realtek HD Audio drivers than chances are the driver is not configured property. These directions are for Windows 7, other operating systems may require a slightly different set of steps.
First, either download and install the latest Toshiba audio drivers for your laptop via the Toshiba Support web site, or download and install the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website.
Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
Once the Realtek drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however the DVD and Audio CD audio levels might continue to be low for some users. Some find that setting the Equalizer, found under the Realtek HD Audio Manager Sound Effects tab or on the Speaker Enhancement tab, to "Powerful" seems to help with the sound levels.

AppleID Cannot Be Used for iTunes Store - WORK AROUND

This is a problem with Apple's servers.
To work around this issue, go to SETTINGS then GENERAL then DATE AND TIME and turn OFF 'Set Automatically'.
Change the date to December 11th.
Log back in to Apple Store.
Then change the time back to SET AUTOMATICALLY.
For now, do this EACH time you want to change AppleID's.

thank you - this worked for me!

Work around for iSync and k800i calendars

Hi all,
I am using OS X 10.4.9 and iSync 2.4. On my Mac, I have to use Entourage to be able to use the email server here, so I sync my Entourage calendar with iCal by having 1 calendar in iCal called Entourage.
I have just bought a new SE k800i and when I first tried to sync, the contacts worked fine, however no calendars went across. I made sure the right calendar, in fact the only calendar, was selected in the iSync preferences but no joy.
I have no events that repeat further than June,so I'm not sure if that's the issue. Does anyone know of any work arounds for this?
Also, what's the best way to Sync, would it be via bluetooth or can I do it via USB?
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think slideshows (or the iPhoto library itself) is backwards compatible with earlier versions of iPhoto, but I'm not sure. If that's a concern, exporting the slideshow as a QuickTime movie might be the best option, but that's getting off the subject of the thread, so if you have further questions about that, you might want to take it up in the iPhoto forum where people more familiar with iPhoto will be able to help.
Regards.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

How do I see my ICal events on my work Google Calendar?

how do I see my ICal events on my work Google Calendar?

I thought that was the case. I'm happy enough syncing Entourage to my iPhone. The last update to Entourage actually fixed that. I was just curious if the Entourage calendar in iCal would appear in the iCloud via iCal. Obviously it doesn't unless you want to "force" the issue. Thanks for taking the time. Bill

Calendar issues - bugs or do I misunderstand how it should work?

I'm having a few calendar issues that seem like bugs. I have the latest release installed but I don't remember seeing these problems before updating. I could be wrong though - my memory ain't what it used to be.
On the calendar week view, if I swipe to scroll down to see the afternoon, I can't swipe back up again. I have to swipe left or right to view a different week before it'll let me view the morning.
Also, if I go to the month view and open a particular day with an event. If I then swipe on the bottom to go backwards, it shrinks the card and lets me choose another open app (home view?). Instead I would have expected it to return to the previous screen?
Another problem; I had to tap an event in the week view about five times before it opened the day view. Poor detection?
Do these sound like bugs? I've only had my Pre for a few days so I'm still learning. Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Going back and forth between morning and afternoon is working fine for me, how many calendars do you have and what kind are they (yahoo, gmail, etc)?
Going to month view, then tapping on a day and using the back gesture does put you into card mode, because you have not entered a new level of menu, just a different view. If you were to go into a specific event, then you could back gesture to the previous view, but going between day/week/month is accomplished only with the selection buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Instead of trying to tap a particular event from week view, have you tried just tapping on the date at the top? or somewhere else on the column for that particular day? Do you see the "ripple" on the screen showing that it recognized a screen tap?
Hope this helps,

I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.
