FAQ

  • Launch button at OVI store doesn’t work: It shouldn’t work. App is not launchable, it’s start organized by OS or by manually clicking Refresh at Feed screen
  • There is no item in Feed: Contact me via email or try to run qdbus com.meego.msyncd /synchronizer com.meego.msyncd.startSync calendarfeed in terminal
  • Item in Feed doesn’t update itself: For auto updates you need to switch on automatically Feeds update. Application was designed to work exactly as other Feed sources are. Also there is lack in used low-level system that prevents auto update without network connection (even if we don’t need it), but refresh (either on Feed screen or in Calendar Feed settings) will work.
  • App eats battery ALOT!!!: Tested it for number of days and didn’t noticed any additional battery draining (tested via Battery Usage). With and without app avg. idle battery usage is from 20 mA to 60mA. Also app doesn’t run any daemon or applicaton in backend, it is invoking by system, which knows how to save battery better
  • How to configure it?: Settings->Applications->Calendar Feed
  • What do all this settings mean?: They are described in this document in Settings section
  • I changed settings, but they are not applied: You need to wait until feed will refresh itself or press Refresh button at Feed to apply settings
  • Item disappeared from Feed!: Looks like sometimes Harmattan completely forgets about this or that plugin (and Calendar Feed can be this one). Try to refresh feed using button. If it didn’t help you need to reboot your phone. Hope it will be fixed in PR1.2
  • App is crap because it doesn’t have < name of feature >: Write me via email with proposal, we will discuss it.
  • There is no translation for < language name >: Sorry, but I know only Russian and English. If you want to help, you can translate it to your language. Contact me via EMail.
  • There are new screenshots/updated info in Gitorious/Store, but no new binary, why? Where can I download it?: Nokia Store publishing process is not easy and fast one. In most cases binaries got updated and published in more time than description. If you see new screenshots/info then update is coming in next week or less (Store QA process can take 1-8 business days).
  • There is no icon at Launcher screen!: There should not be any icon at Launcher screen. All UI part is integrated into Settings. Uninstallation can be done via Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.
