Sync Office 365 Calendar to Pixel 6 Calendar app

In case your company email policy blocks Pixel 6 native Calendar app to access Office 360 email/calendar, You can do so via the help from Outlook email app from Microsoft.

In Outlook app, Office 365 account settings has one Option: Sync calendars. Turn it on, and Office 365  calendar will show up on your Pixel 6 Calendar, so you have one place to check all your schedules on Pixel 6.

Sometimes, Outlook updates might overwrite this setting, so just go back and enable it again.

Yes, you can publish your Office 365 calendar as URL, then access it via Google calendar from web browser, but currently, native Calendar app on Pixel can't not subscribe published Office 365 calendar yet.

VOIP connection to 800 number might not be able to be established

If the 800 number requires call to keyboard input the choice number when it is ringing: either the keyboard won't response or the keyboard input (touch tone) won't be recognized by receiver, so the session won't not be established at all.

Tried on Skype and Ekiga with GV

Traditional GSM network did work though.

PrintOn for Android

Wireless Printing from Android

VOIP on Android with Google Voice

SIP service provider (Register your SIP account: usually call in is free. ekiga.net)

DID service provider (IPKall is the one still offers free number so far, hopefully more)

VOIP client on Android (CSipSimple, SIPDroid etc)

Since you are likely only to get free call in fomr SIP provider, Google Voice could play a key role for pseudo dial out (free so for US and Canada), as well as call-in forward too. Every time you dial out a number, GV will intercept that call out and make the call out for you, after GV call in and connect your DID number first. There is a free Android app named GVoice Callback does this job on Android sytsem.

Yahoo! email manual set up at HTC Inspire 4G

It is quite strange that Yahoo's email auto settings for HTC Inspire 4G only worked few days, then it just stopped to sync new email anymore.

Google around, and noticed it is quite common for EVO, and Thunderbelt too, which are Inspire's siblings, and here is the manual settings:

• your yahoo email address
• username is also your yahoo email address
• Protocol: IMAP
• IMAP Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
• Security Type: SSL
• Server Port: 993

Outgoing Server: 

• check login required
• User name is your yahoo email address again
• SMTP Sever: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
• Security Type: SSL
• Server Port: 465

AA Mobile Check in at O'Hare Ariport

It sounds cool that they sent you the confirmation code, and you put it into your mobile apps, then the two dimension barcode appears at your smartphone just as StarBucks did.

Well, if you need check in your bags, then you still need to go to the self check-in and use the bag only. At this time, you will still a credit card to pay for the bag fee. (Guess I did not bind my AA Advantage account with any credit card?).

Of course, security and bag check-in personnel still need your ID too. So far, all the benefit of Mobile Check-in is the electronic boarding pass, so you could show it to TSA (security) and Gate check-in.
