Hello, I'm looking for a way to display my appointments on my lock screen. Is there an app/widget that would accomplish that? I've tried some from the app store but keep coming up with stuff that doesn't work or was designed for phones. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks...

Here's what I use. You can also toggle between calendar and agenda mode while still in the lock screen. They have great social and messaging widgets too.

Hi.
Does anybody know of a good calendar widget? I've tried some and most require you to use their calendar application. I personally prefer the calender app that comes stock with the vibrant and would like a widget that pulled info from there but looks more like the stock widget on vanilla android.

"Pure Calendar Widget" is one of the few paid apps that I have used the entire time since buying them when I had my G1 until now.
Extremely customizable and will allow you to use pretty much any calendar app.
Thanks guys, I'm downloading both right now.
I highly recommend Pure Calendar Widget as well.. excellent application and worth the $

So I bought pure calander widget, as well as messenger widget, very very nice. Granted theres a ton of options, too much to get into right now but so far so good. Nice way to spend the little bit of funds in my account. and the HTC sense skins are a nice touch.
*accidental doublepost, sorry.
The one that comes with launcher pro plus is pretty good. But if you don't use LP I guess its not too helpful.
using agenda widget
started using pure calendar widget today.
3 questions:
-i see someone mentioned you can make it htc sense like? i dont see how???
-when i rotate screen, the widget goes blank for about 2 minutes...not like a little lag and re-draw with takes seconds. it goes completely white for about 1 or 2 minutes, then it all comes back. any ideas?
edit, 1 more question:
-what is the difference between pure calendar widget and agenda widget? pros or cons of each?

You have the option to skin the app. At the bottom in the config screen theres the option to Continue and Skin. Thats where I found mine.
Also which launcher are you using? ADW has an option to enable and disable scrollable widgets, which might be the cause of your problem.
I recently discovered Jorte, which has a good amount of widgets and the calendar app itself is excellent and will fully replace the stock one (my preference) - but I'm pretty sure you can have it open the stock one. It can also sync with Google Tasks although it has to be done manually.
cool, thanks.
in LP, it enabled scrollable widgets and that has seem to fix the going blank problem.
but i think im going to try the agenda widget as pure calendar widget just slows my phone WAY down. It just slows everything down. maybe if i turn off scrollable in pure calendar and lp it will work better...
Hello. I just noticed that my weather widget and also my Hanping chinese widgets aren't refreshing bythemselves. I have to do it manually all the time.
Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior in some widgets? I am not sure if its been doing this all the time or did it just start recently.
Could rooting and freezing some applications be the issue here?
I was wondering the same about the weather widget...

Using stock weather? It is really bad. Looks nice but never even locates me.
And this is embarrassing but non stock weather and also hangping seems to start refreshing now. Don't know why
I've got the same problem with the Pulse News widget.
Would love to know the problem!
The htc weather app doesnt update on its own.i have to update it manually and at times i have to either restart the tablet or remove the widget and again put it back, for it to update.anyone else having similar problems ?

works fine here; have you tried this:
thanks that really helped.i had to sync all from the settings and then only the option to sync in the widget was selectable.
Has anyone noticed that the weather sound when the weather animates that some of the weather sounds are broken or just give you this swoosh sound..?
Hi everyone
I recently changed to touchwiz ux launcher, coming from launcherpro. I was wondering if there was any widget like the go calendar widget, meaning a scrollable month overview, a little mark on the days with an appointment, and possibility to click on the days to make/view an appointment then. Thanks in advance
I would suggest you take a look at Jorte Calender:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte
thanks, yeah i saw that but haven't really tried, but if i'm right that's a whole calendar app, so can this widget show the appointments of the stock app? or maybe if i sync with google in both apps... if anyone knows advice is still welcome, but i'll give that a try soon
just for the record, i've just found android pro widgets, it's calendar widget does exactly what i want, if anyone else has the same problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core

You can sync it with google to show the same appointments as the stock app. But android pro widgets is a good hint, looks promising. Maybe i can use it for myself.
thank you for this!! finally a go calendar like widget (better actually) that works at higher DPI resolutions !! (SIII at 240dpi)
I am currently an iphone 4s user that is tired of ios and its limitations. I am interested in switching to android. One thing that I would really love to have on my phone is a functional to-do list on my lockscreen that I could see every time that I look at my phone. Is this possible on android and do you have any recommendations any apps that can do this? Thank you.

U can use Widget Locker and took some todo widget on ur lockscreen.
You can look at Astrid, Any.Do, Taskos etc for todo widget.
And simply way u can choose this option as well using Simply Lockscreen
Here u can get:
- Simply Lockscreen: link
- Astrid link
- Taskos link
- Widget Locker link
I am usin the setup below..
I have Any.Do as my default task application.. I have replaced my lockscreen with the DashClok widget.. Any.do has a dash clock extension which can show your tasks right in the main lock screen.. Or you can create one more page in the lock screen and use the Any.Do widget directly there..
Thank you for your replies. I can't wait to get an android phone. Ios users could only dream of having this type of functionality. amith007, is there any way you could please show me what the any.do dashclock widget looks on your lockscreen? I tried looking for screen shots of what that would look like but I couldn't find any. Thanks.
Thanks.
PM me if u need help

In the first picture you can see that the Any.do icon showing the task pending task count.. and when i simply expand the widget, it will show the first task there itself.. and you can click there to open the Any.do app directly..
Thank you, very cool but a little too subtle for me. What jungjawa suggested is more in your face. Thank you all for your recommendations. Android really is the best option for me.
