what do you think is the best calendar + task all in one app?
Currently I use aCalendar+, but I can not get overdue tasks to show on the calendar. Do you know how to do it?
What do you think is the best alternative?
hello.
Not sure if this fits your criteria, but Any.do (tasks) along with Cal (calendar) should do the trick. These two apps integrate with each other. Also, Any.do has a heads-up like feature called Moment which shows you all your tasks, both overdue and those yet to be done.

Hi all
I have just started using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I am looking for a app that I can use during meetings.
I attend a management meeting every morning and take notes during the meeting. I have always used my laptop and outlook to take the notes. I created a event on the calender and took my notes using the description in outlook.
I would like to start using my tablet to do this now. I have not been able to find a app that allows me to do this on the tablet. I can create the event but have not been able to find a app that allows to edit the description easily.
Is there a other way to do this or a app I can use.
Thank you in advance
If having the notes in the calendar app isn't a must, you might want to consider Evernote. It allows you to not only take notes on the fly but also combine documents from different sources into a topical "notebook".
I would like to keep it with the calendar as this makes a "backup" on google calender and syncs all my meetings.
It also helps when looking for an event as I can use the dates as a reference.
Calendar Pad
Might work for ya.. Pretty good and has nice widgets aswell.

A meeting every morning? Sounds pretty inefficient.

But an absolute necessity for any medium to large organisation...
Thank you. I am looking at replacing my diary with my tab. Any ideas to make it work better?

Might want to try Wizz widgets, the calendar widget is pretty nice. I use it with the touchwiz calendar and in 2 clicks you can create an event and edit the description.

Anybody know a calendar application with pen support?
Don't need to sync with google or anything like this. I just would love to be able to see a calendar like one of those paper wall calendars and be able to write notes on it with pen, draw, cross days etc. The usual stuff that people do with wall calendars. Ability to add reminders would be nice to have, but not super important.
I wonder if something like this already exists. If it doesn't, I think it will be a great idea for a creator of Quill. What do you think?

A desk calendar style app that allowed this would be super cool. I'd love to see it myself.
Apparently the note has something like this. It would just have to be ported.

I checked it out, but S planner is more like usual calendar app. It just works with note app to recognize the text (if it can) and import event into planner.
What would be cool to have is a month/week overview, where you could just tap on a day and make the entry in the calendar in a quill style. Just think of a paper calendar. Sometimes it is just nice and comfy to be able to draw and write a simple stuff in there. You could cross the days when you been sober, put smiley faces when you had sex, add handwritten notes to the past and future evens. At the end of the week/month you could take a quick overview and remember how you spent your time or do a report

Really good ideas, but for someone who uses their Google calendar, a totally new app like this would require me to switch entirely ...at which point, I'd likely have to use only my tablet for a calendar.
A tangentially related idea I had for this quill developper was a widget that you could place on your desktop and that could be scribbled on. That's a little like what you're asking.

You're right. An app like this will be for tablet only and will not have sync with google calendar (but maybe could be saved to evernote). If you're a busy person and everyday is booked, then usual calendar app is a lifesaver. In my mind though one shoudn't replace the other. Google calendar great to keep your appointments, birthdays and important dates and is accessible from any device. Notes can be entered there, but they sort of blend in the whole thing and they are not very natural. I find notebook is a lot easier to follow if you need to write and find something worth noting that happened one day or another. For example you have your appointment tracked in google calendar, it will remind you that you need to be there, you will go and meet people. Notes from the meeting are better kept is a separate notebook along with any sketches or anything like this, rather than google calendar. I could keep and organize those notes in several quill notebooks, but chronological order is lost, can't really enter an info, specific to a future or a past date, an overview for weekly/monthly report is not so simple.
Maybe it is better not to think of it as a calendar replacement, but rather a calendar book or a planner. Quill (or other note apps that I found so far) just don't have organization of a calendar (planner) and google calendar doesn't have functionality of a good notebook.

That's not what I had in mind at all. There is already a note app with a widget. It is a standard HTC note app. As a matte of fact it is the only widget that I have on my Flyer's desktop. It is not as good for writing notes as Quill, but it works and is easy to keep track of important information right on the android desktop. Evernote sync gives me ability to put that same important note on the desktop of my PC - works great as a sticky. I also use Color note on a phone, for those important stickies on a go (too bad there is no sync there)
I use both Quill and HTC notes. HTC notes are great for important stuff that I need to keep track of. Quill has replaced a general notebook for me and helped me to get rid of paper clutter. I love my Flyer. That's the first tablet that helped me to organize my messy desk.
i've only had my flyer for a couple of weeks but i agree that this is a brilliant idea.
it would be nice to scribble things in on certain dates and times.
i wish someone takes this idea up and runs with it
I am currently starting to develop for my flyer. At the moment doing a little paint app with pen support which behaves like a pencil.
From what I hear, you just want a plain paper based calendar and than use notifications etc.? So it could have a link to the normal calendar for those features. Should not a biggie. Will think abou that.
Nice idea .
Does any one know of a free notes and reminders app for Android? Preferably one that is very simple and doesn't do much more than take notes that you write or paste in it, and send notifications to remind you of stuff at a set time. Kind of like what you have on iOS. Having the ability to sync with your Google Account/ Gmail would be a plus. I have been waiting for this to come natively to Android for some time.
If I can't find something like this. I would like to embark on a personal project to create and publish an app or apps that do notes and reminders easily. I would appreciate any help I can get on the way. Thanks.

Just use the calendar, its simple and syncs with whatever you want it to. Theres a notepad app in the market as well for notes.
evernote
I had not tried evernote in a while. I just tried it and the UI is much improved now, so I guess I'll be using it. Thanks! I would like if it did reminders though. I like seeing all my to-dos together separate from my calendar.

Not sure about Evernote, but Catch Notes supports reminders.
I'm looking for a technique or an app that allows me to display a specific Google calendar in an application with one touch and without the use of a web browser or widget.
Ideally, I would simply tap a shortcut on a homescreen that would open an android calendar app, displaying only the specified Google calendar.
The real world use case is that my office is in a building with a shared conference room that has it's own resource calendar. Sometimes, there will be a spark of inspiration and our team will want to get together in the conference room to discuss. Currently, I have to either run to my desk and view the calendar or go through a lot of trouble on my phone to drill down to the day, then hour and select a particular calendar to create an event to reserve the conference room. It would be so much more efficient if I could click one button to see if the conference room is already taken and click once more to create a reservation event if it's available.
I've used AppXplore to expose the intents of the built in Calendar app for use with Tasker. com.android.calendar.selectcalendars.SelectVisibleCalendarsActivity looks promising but I'm not sure of the Extra activity information that would be necessary to only display my desired calendar. I was thinking that I might create a Tasker task that removes all the other calendars from view, open the calendar app, and wait for a particular event to re-activate the other calendars. But again, I'm not sure about the Extras that would be necessary.
Perhaps there's an app that can create shortcuts on the desktop for each calendar. Or perhaps someone knows how to achieve this with Tasker or a shell command. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a calendar app with a feature that's rather low-tech, yet surprisingly rare: I'm looking to add notes/comments/memos to a certain day (rather than event). Just like on a physical calendar one can mark a day with "watered plants" or "opened new pack of...", I would like to do the same on a calendar app, without it being associated with a particular event or meeting. I don't want to use events because they have a lot of fields I don't need to fill (like time and duration), using all day events interrupts my actual scheduling and marking the calendar is usually done retroactively (some apps don't allow scheduling past events).
Can anyone think of a competent and capable app with this feature, or at least suggest search terms?
Fame and glory for those who'll help
