Gcal version 0.3.3: more fixes and S60 1st/2nd edition support
After some days away from Gcal, due to a lot of work going on in these days, here’s an update that will hopefully solve some of the issues related to accessing your calendar data, and various other bugs, including:
- Wrong saving of “All day” events
- Wrong time of events saved on device calendar
- Various other unhandled Exceptions that were causing crashes of the application
In this release, a first support for previous Nokia Series60 editions (specifically: 1st and 2nd editions) has also been added, so you should now be able to use Gcal on your beloved Nokia 6600 
And, for those who still experience problems, more meaningful error messages have been set, so that it’ll be easier to spot out and solve the issues. So, when reporting a problem, please also add the exact error message you get in the related error popup. Thanks!
If your mobile phone also needs a JAD file, you can download it from here: download Gcal JAD.
Sneekin, 
Kamal, and 2 others are discussing.

Could you post a .JAD for easy download directly to phones that require it?

Hi CRiley,
I’ve added the JAD file as well, thanks for the hint!

Hi
Thanks for the update. However, I don’t think I’ve ever successfully installed an update using gCal’s own Update option
I have automatic checking turned off, but chose to manually check for updates when I saw the posting about the new version. It downloaded OK, asked if I wanted to update from version x to version y, asked if I wanted to save data, but failed at the final step, just saying “Failed to install!” (or words to that effect – sorry if I haven’t got the exact message).
After that, I could no longer run gCal.
I downloaded it manually from the link and tried to install manually. Identical problem.
The only way I could complete the update was to reboot my phone, and then manually download from the web link and install again.
I have a Nokia E90, S60 3rd edition.
Thanks for adding the day name at the top of the screen – it’s a big improvement.
I was a bit surprised to find there’s no option to edit an appointment – but maybe I’m just missing something? I had an appointment that I realised I needed to change, so being unable to find an edit option, I thought I’d duplicate and then delete the original, but Options | Actions | Duplicate just sits there and does nothing (it doesn’t dismiss the dialog box or anything). All I can do is press Cancel. Select/OK do nothing.
Having had that problem, I’ve tried all the other options available from an appointment to see what happens for me:
Add comment works, and View comment works, but if I try to View a comment immediately after adding it (i.e. without exiting the event), it says No comments for this event.
Send via SMS works.
Copy to Calendar prompts for calendars, but tells me “There was an reror while copying the event”.
Save locally asks “Allow application Gcal to write user data?” However, whatever I answer, I can “Error while saving even on local calendar” (This message makes sense if I allowed it to, but it couldn’t, but I shouldn’t see it if I say No to Allow application …
The event really DOESN’T get copied to my local calendar.
Delete prompts with an “Do you want to delete this event?”, but then say yes, I see a “Deleting” progress report in the top right hand corner, but then I get an error message “There was an error while trying to delete this event (409)” – and checking with the computer, the event hasn’t been deleted.
All of these tests were done on the same event without exiting the event at all.
NB: Exiting the event and selecting it again allowed my just-added comment to be seen.
Can’t see an About menu option to report a version number, but Check Updates says my version is up to date ;-).

Hi Julie,
thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! A report worth of the best beta tester!!
About the various points, I’ll dig into them and try to fix most of them for the next release.

Hi Kamal,
thanks for the feedback! There was actually a problem with the JAD download. Now it should be fixed, so you could retry to download GCal.
Thanks,
Pit

Question – I’m trying to run this on a Sprint Blackberry Curve 8330 – on the login screen, I can put in the name, password, and can click the save password checkbox – but I can’t click the save or exit, and there’s no way to connect! Help! I looked for older versions on the site, but there aren’t any. Will this work on a sprint blackberry?
Thanks!
