Hello all. I hope I have the right forum for this question. I have recently moved from Iphone to a Galaxy S2. One of the most useful apps on the Iphone for me was the factory supplied 'Notes' app on the iOS platform. What was even better about this was that it syncs with notes on Gmail/google and on more than once this feature has saved my skin as I tend to store a lot of everyday notes on this, so rely on it a lot.
Question is, is there a similar app on Android - preferably free but the most importance feature must be the same ability to sync with Google.
Maybe you try ColorNote or Evernote, both support online sync.
Can't find any information online on this. I can't believe I am the only one with this issue.
Traveler on Android does not seem to support "conversations" view for emails (as Notes calls it). Otherwise known as "threaded email".
In terms of other mobile platforms, iOS supports this, clearly it's an irrelevance on Blackberry, not sure about Windows 8.
Having just moved from Blackberry to Android at work, my productivity is hugely hampered by this. I can obviously 'do' emailing, but I can't manage my email effectively.
Is this a known issue? Is there an upcoming update to add this for the Android platform that anyone knows about? Maybe it's a dependency on the OS API, as the iOS implementation looks like the native iOS email threading behaviour.
Any comments appreciated.

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.
I was using Sunrise. Really enjoyed the look / feel of it, and liked the fluid feel between the web UI and the Android App.
Well, Microsoft owns Sunrise, and plans to meld it into Outlook, and discontinue support for Sunrise.
Presently I am sitting on the default Google Calendar. Its good, but wanted to see what others use and why.
So, what do you use for your calendar and why?
Thanks for your input.
Hej, so i use macbook, ipad Pro and instead of an iphone14 i went for s23 ultra. So far happy but facing some difficulties to get used to. I know apple and samsung apps do not really 'talk' so looking for your inputs regarding sms or call app that informs both OS at the same time? Also, how do you share images to ipad now that airdrop is not a thing for me anymore.. Need to find a way.
I also ditched apple books for amazon kindle and paid for moleskin journey app that works with both iPadOS amd Samsung platforms and syncs well. Looking for any app suggestions that works on both iPad OS and samsung/android.
Thanks in advance .

I use Google Drive to share files between iPad, desktop computer (Linux) and smartphone. Sometimes an external SSD drive.
Regards.
I have the same devices, Images I offload them periodically from the phone, you can use for example Lightroom, google photos, foldersync and a network share like on a NAS.
SMS Infos , you can switch from the standard messages stuff to the google messages, they have an option to view online. Calls i dont know, i am sorry...
Feel free to ask any other app types or workflows and can share infos.

File sharing between devices , i use cable and Android Transfer , or cxfile explorer and filezilla on a mac , or just a network share where i copy the files from the phone , or sftp and copy directly on the mac from the phone.

Gdrive and google photos is my solution as well since my cloud storage now is google.
Lightroom could be a good idea. I have little knowledge about network share will check it out. Feel free to write any new app you find that syncs on both platforms.

for contacts and mails I use google services, on mac transfer all the contacts to the google account ,and calendar aswell , just use the google one. that will be present on the phone aswell , you have notes too that you can use on a mac. Alternatively you can use onenote if you like that better. these should cover it.
You got the basic answers except for sms and calls. If you happen to be on Verizon, their Message+ app will allow you to text and call on the iPad via your phone. You have to run the app on both devices. I did this a couple of years ago, but didn't really care for the app that much. I'm not sure what it is like now. As an aside, you can do this and still use a different texting app on your phone. If I recall, texts you send from the iPad won't show up in the other app though. Incoming texts show in both.

For notes i found a hack. Install google keep in ipad or mac, you can now share apple notes to google keep. Install keep in your phone and voila, shared apple notes are here. They won't auto update though but gotta live with it i had to sync my old notes from apple.
@Ornisense found another way. in the samsung notes app you can enable sync with onenote. then on the mac just use onenote
This is my setup:
MacMini M2 Pro and ipad pro 12.9 6th
Galaxy S23 Ultra and S22
Windows AMD based pc
I'm using Office 365 on all devices (family version, purchased with great discount on Amazon. It is happening sometime). This include 1TB of OneDrive space for all the users.
I've installed Onedrive on all the devices and Samsung Gallery automatically synch with OneDrive so I'm finding the pictures on all the devices at the same time.
Same tool also for the files (Onedrive is integrated in the Mac Finder and iPad File application so it is very convenient to use). Unfortunately Apple Photo is not synching with anything else but iCloud but there are alternative for picture magament (e.g. XnView or similar).
For notes I use OneNote. Working well everywhere.
PDF I have uPDF that with one license is working on Mac, Windows,Android and iPad.
VSCode is working in Mac and Windows very well.
Office app (word,excel, powerpoint,outlook) is installable on all the devices (Mac,IOS , Android and Windows)
NAS is where I store data in my house so it is a common place for all the files.
As file manager I use the great TotalCommander on Windows and CommanderOne Pro and MuCommander on Mac.

You have all the answers! My wife uses my google one subscription being a pixel user so it will be hard for me to change to onedrive but I'm keeping this in my head...
If you have a mac you can plug your s23U into it and in usb settings enable photo transfer to send your photos to the mac photo library.
There is also Macdroid and other apps if you need to copy files back and forth.
Too bad apple doesn't allow Dex any more as then it would be easy to run dex on your Mac and drag and drop between the 2.
