A few random M20P questions

[Ossie1972wastaken]

Recent escapee from iPhone. Still trying to wrap my head around the combinations of tweaks available.

* I like having "email" contacts and "phone" contacts because there are people I exclusively email but don't need to clog up my phone contacts with. So I like keeping phone contacts for actual friends and don't want to sync Google contacts with the phone contacts. But I *do* like using Google Calendar as my primary calendar as it's just more interactive. So:
is there a way to have (phone) contacts birthdays appear as a notification on Google Calendar? You can do this with the native (phone) Calendar app

* Syncing Facebook events to Google Calendar has not worked - I've tried all the posted options. Either the menu option doesn't exist or the link doesn't paste to Google Calendar. Any tips?

* Notification sounds seem to have one customisable option for ring, and one for everything else: messages, FB, FB Messenger, LinkedIn etc. The phone seems to treat notifications from all of these various apps as a single category. A setting to set different sounds for all the various apps would be ideal, but with the iPhone all the various app notifications came with their own unique sound. Any way to make this happen with the M20P?

* Is there a way to sync FB events to Google Calendar but NOT FB birthdays?

* The native Clock app shows as analogue (in the app - clock is digital in regular display). Ditto when setting notification alarms etc. Any way to make this digital in-app?

* Any way to make previews & notifications on the lock screen bigger?

Thanks all

For notification tones you set those in each individual app's settings. To use custom/downloaded tones in those apps you may need to grant the app permission to use 'storage' in the app settings first
