Trying "Business Calendar Beta & it doesn't do what I need. Specifically, it will not let me edit a single entry of a recurring event, nor can I move the same.
The calendar that has "10" on the icon has an artifact at the top of every screen. It looks like a text box, but does nothing except get in the way.
Jorte is limited, but looks OK & does most things, but will not color in the day of the event.
What I need:
Ability to add recurring events.
Ability to edit or move individual recurring events.
Highlight a day that has an event. (Color choice)
Be nice if event title had a history to choose from.
Most of these features are standard in Outlook Calendar, so I would hope they are not too much to ask for.
Anyone have other calendars for me to try?
Thanks,

Can you confirm that the Gmail calendar does everything you need it to do, and then just grab a Widget to give you a better view of the calendar?

I am currently trying Jorte for the calendar that displays on the desktop & when I select it, it uses Google Calendar. Took me a bit to understand what was happening, but I think I have something I can use.
Thanks.

Jorte was going to be my suggestion as well. Best calendar app I've found so far.
My vote goes to jorte

I personally REALLY like Touch Calendar. Boost up the zoom level and the font size and it looks great on the Nook Color. However, it's basically just a really nice overview, it still uses the built-in calendar app to add, edit, view the specific event etc..
2 thumbs up for Jorte also!
I'm not having any luck getting Jorte to sync with my Google Calendar. I've checked and re-checked the settings which seemed to be defined correctly but it won't sync. If I manually select an import from Google it shows "import complete" immediately but the data doesn't populate. Is anyone else using this successfully?

Is this specific to Jorte? Have you tried the stock calendar?

Well no, now that I look at it the regular calendar isn't syncing either. Not sure what broke that but I've spent the past 45 mins or so trying to figure it out without any luck. I'll look at it again a bit later.

You need to re-sync your calendar. I had the same problem. Trying to find the exact fix right now. Sit tight.
Sorry for the wait. I'm at work and got called away to deal with something.
Here you go. Credit where credit is due; give doc the props.
Now, I do have a question of my own about Jorte. I find the text quite blurry, at least on the 2x4 weekly calendar. I see that you can replace it with a font of your choosing. Will this fix the fuzzy text, or is that a symptom of it being used to a smaller screen? If that wont fix it, does anyone know of something that will?
Secondly, (and this is not very important) is there a way to add "padding" to the edge of the widget? I want it to reside in the top left of my screen, but it clings directly to the side of my screen if I do this with 0 pixles between the edge of the calendar and the edge of the screen. It's no big deal but I'd prefer a bit of padding to keep it consistent with the rest of my screen's layout. Can I force it to move to the center of the widget space somehow, instead of being left justified? I can post a screencap if I am being unclear.
Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Also, I set the widget and line transparency to "not transparent" in the Jorte 5x5 widget, and the font size to "Large", and that cleaned up most of the fuzziness.

Hi there,
I have got a problem, which I don't know how to solve: I just wanted to add a birthday to a contact already saved on my Galaxy S2. So I entered the contact, clicked "edit" - but then, no field for the birthday!? Wtf?
In addition, when I open the contact, TW does not show me the birthday either (for contacts from exchange which do have a birthday added)...
So, this can't be true, can it? Where can I add and see the birthdays of my contacts?
Thanks!
Edit: It seems that I cannot add a birthday to contacts that are connected, which means, which come from my exchange server - can that be?
Because when I add a new contact and choose "Save on phone" I can add a birthday, but when I choose a new contact "Exchange" I cannot add a birthday... But my Exchange Software
can save birthdays, it did so with my HD2 on Android. Any ideas?
No idea? No one?

Yeah, but only if you created this contact on the phone. It does NOT work if you have an exchange contact.

That's nice. However, I wanted to add a birthday to one of my contacts when I was attending a meeting - I neither had Outlook nor MyPhoneExplorer with me. So, there should be a way to complete existing contacts, shouldn't it?
Try to add the birthdaydate via google and sync afther.

Yes, it is more than disappointing.
And no, we don't want to sync our data with google servers for good reasons. Thats why I have my own Exchange and thats what I want the Galaxy S2 to do, nothing more, nothing less.
Guys - I just try to help you out. I came from Lotus Notes and got about 240 contacts in my adressbook. I tried several ways to get them in sync via android. What worked for me was to make a simpel csv-file with all my contacts and import it into my google account. Next step i sync via my phone with my googleacc. This worked. Then I sync with exchange - and now all my fields is visible - and edible. I think - that the phone just work best and smooth with a clean new contactfile. Afther i have no problem.
All systems I have worked with during the years, often got problems when the adressbook not is native.

Thanks for trying to help. But it cannot be that you have to give all your data to Google in order to get things to work properly although you have your own exchange server.
Just delete the contacts in google afther you sync.
By the way - if you worry about security - what you do on a exchange server LOL

Glad to see its not just me, very annoying though. Samsumgs exchange active sync implementation seems to be far from perfect.
Once a week my calendar/e-mail goes rogue and starts up using alot of battery, a reboot fixes this.
I hope this contact problem gets fixed pretty soon, alot of the extra info is missing not just birthdays
I use aTAKEphONE as a dialer application, this lets you add a birthday date and gives many more options...

We can not discuss about this as I am not the decision maker in my company but of course can suggest to move away from Exchange what they won't do for 100%.
All my previous companies were running Exchange by the way and it's not a point to talk about now.
I've done now what you suggested and imported my Exchange contacts to GoogleMail, deleted and unmarked for sync all contacts and accounts on my Samsungs Galaxy S2.
Resynced now first with GoogleMail only and then added the Exchange account for sync.
I can confirm that I get the birthday field now under the contacts.
Whyever the phone only shows the GoogleMail contacts with Icon and not any other (Active Sync, Skype, Facebook SNS) contacts anymore...
I am confused why they dont show up anymore...
Ahhh now I see... as I deleted my contacts from the phone it also wiped the Exchange contacts... great
OK... it's the same... only the imported contacts from GoggleMail have the birthday field.
When I create a new contact on my phone which is by default saved Exchange then I don't get this option to add a birthday... useless...
I have just received a message from Samsung concerning this problem. They say, they cannot promise that it will be fixed.
Oh, thats very nice. Thank you, very much. Once and never again.

If you would like to add a birthday to a contact, you need to:
Select the relevant contact
Select Edit
Select “Add another field”
Select “Events”
Then add the birthday
Hope this info helps
Hello,
Sat here eagerly awaiting my new phone.
I have been googling around for things i may need, like setup google account etc. Does anyone know a descent little getting starting guide or video as there are loads and not sure which ones are even any good.
Also if any of you are setting up your Galaxy S3 and thought "be easier if i'd done that first", id love to know.
Otherwise just wish the parcel company would get a move on
Happy Dayz

Not official video, but you can check this
It's actually very straight forward. Just follow prompts and select the appropriate options. I am assuming everyone has a gmail account.
This might be a helpfull article to choose which apps you need/want.
Will my contacts, calendar etc get pulled through from my live accounts. only setup the gmail account this morning.
Thanks for the comments
I had a Ipod touch, blackberry, Windows Phone before this. ICS made me think its time to try android and the desire to be able to do stuff like watch videos without conversion, have a HD screen etc.
still waiting ... come on delivery dude
I am not sure whether it will pull your contacts / calendar from your live account (I haven't tried that myself).

This has some useful info on how to import-export from Live to Google and vice versa.

Since Android is a Google product it integrates quite beautifully with Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts, so I definitely recommend that you use those services now that you're going to be using Android.
So to be clear, what I recommend is exporting contacts, mail and calendar to Google's respective services.
I don't have any experience with trying to sync Outlook/Live/Exchange with Android, but a quick Google search leads me to believe that it might not be all that simple... Here are some interesting links I found:
http://syncdroid.net/gsyncit
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=outlook+sync&c=apps
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...indows-live-contacts-calendar.html#post834492
Like I said though, I don't have any experience with this, but if you do end up running into trouble when you get your phone and are setting it up, XDA is the best place to look for support and someone will most likely be able to help you...

Go to http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/ and check the bar on the right
Right contacts and calendar was simple, install the hotmail app, turn off the push notifications as you email already goes to mail, tick contacts and calendar and SYNC woo hoooo
Thanks all
off to read some more stuff
Hotmail, Live contacts on Android
The hotmail app pulls in details but doesnt let you edit them in contacts or calendar.
Talking to the local Apple fanboy gave me the clue for how to achieve this, and its simple. Press manual setup and use exchange active sync.
settings as follows:
Email: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]
Server Address: m.hotmail.com
SSL: Enabled
Username: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]
Password: password
Domain: <blank>
http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-t...d-to-active-sync-email-calendar-and-contacts/
Auto setup uses pop which is why you dont get the contacts and calendar.

Unfortunately not, we are working on this feature though. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ditto on this request, but I have another question that's similar (same?)... I have Gmail and Corporate email accounts I have to monitor. It seems just about every theme has just one email, one sms, and so on. I love the themes and the application overall, but the rigidity of icon placements and selections in the themes makes it hard to replace my stocker for work use.
Is there an ETA for when this will work? I don't use gmail and yet, I'm forced to see "0" for email. Also, shouldn't have to be logged in just to use a theming program. Let me go online to "see" new themes but requiring that I'm online is a waste of bandwidth and battery.

the application is great, but I only use that email exchange, you have a date for a version that would display the number of e-mail ?
If you associate your other accounts with gmail though,shouldn't this solve the issue partly ?

Hi,
We can't give an exact ETA, but it won't be anytime soon. The amount of resources required to integrate accounts other than Gmail would require a large of time from the developers which would put everything on hold - which is something we just can't afford at this moment in time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Regarding the login box, this is for security reasons on our side, in the event that someone breaches our servers.
Thanks for the hard work, can't wait for other email accounts to be integrated :good:
Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 that was recently updated to Lollipop. With this update, all of my non-Gmail accounts were imported to Gmail. As the title states, I am trying to figure out how to set a custom picture for my additional accounts that have now been imported into Gmail. The accounts start with the same letter name, so it makes their "first letter icon"(?) a little bit confusing. I end up having to expand the rest of the panel to read the full names.
Any idea how I'd set this? I feel like this is something that would have been addressed when Google was testing it.
Thanks.
