Hey guys,
since i have the N4 (4.2 and 4.2.1) my Jorte calendar app works not right.
It shows my appointments from all googlecalendars, But i can't change anything, i can't add an appointment, so i can't do noting.
It says there are no calendars, but it shows all appointments...
Does anybody of you have the same issue? Or maybe have a solution for this problem?
I love jorte, haden't find an app with such an widget (showing the appointments in a 4x1 row with showing the days from a week), so i can't change the app...
Same problem here
I'm experiencing the same problem. I can see my appointments but not add or edit. Jorte still works fine in ICS, so I assume we just need to be patient for an update to 4.2. It's a real drag.
Try agenda widget plus..
My mate is the Dev and he has the N4 so it's all good with 4.2.1 (even on the lock screen i think!)

Jort Update worked for me, so anything is fine now
Personally I've used Jorte, and it just didn't do it for me. Someone mentioned Android Pro Widgets and that worked much better...especially coming from an S3 with S Planner.
I love Jorte. Haven't found anything better but depends on how you use it I suppose. I like full monthly views + tasks all on the same page/widget.
The bug was killing me but now that it is resolved...sweetness.

I've had my Desire for some time already and although I love it there's something that really bothers me and it's the 4x1 calendar widget. I find it the best for the main home screen but it's just useless. Most of the time it doesn't show the event that should be showing and it shows something later in time (it doesn't confuse the date, it just misses what's in between).
I've managed to get it back to normal several times after restarting the phone and/or resetting the application but it either takes very long or I can't remember the sequence of things to do to make it work again. It's a pain in the ass.
I've seen other open threads about problems with that widget but most of them are quite old and without real solutions. Of the proposed alternatives I found all of them quite ugly, frankly.
Is there a solution to the built-in problem or a widget that looks similar?
Smooth calendar widget

I have just jumped ship from Smooth Calendar to Small Agenda Widget. In 4x1 it just beats Smooth by showing 4 lines not 3.
Jorte has every size of widget you can imagine.
Thanks, guys! I think I'll go for Smooth Calendar. With the HTC-style mod that is around there it looks quite similar to the default one and reasonably decent-looking. Let's see if HTC brings something out to improve it.
On my HTC Desire I could tap the location field in my calendar view and it'll open up gmaps and go straight to the location. The Galaxy s2 doesn't seem to be able to do that, are there any mods or apps that will let you?
replacement calendar
Jorte Calendar does what you need.
It's a full calendar replacement. It's free in Marketplace...

RXP, I had the same issue and looked around a bit. It seems the Samsung calendar app simply doesn't have this functionality. Jorte, mentioned in the post above mine, works well. I have also tried Calengoo and Business Calendar and both work well. I am hoping that eventually someone will work out how to mod the Samsung app itself though, since none of the replacement apps match the Samsung ones for appearance, even when colours are tweaked.
Damn, that's incredibly frustrating. Might have to import an apk from my Desire!
RXP, did you have any success getting an alternative app working? I am still not happy with the alternatives I have tried so keen to find out what other people are using. The ideal solution would still be a tweak to the Samsung app so it fits in with the rest of the phone, but I must admit I wouldn't know where to start.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to get the standard google calendar app working on the S2? Searching turns up instructions for the Galaxy S but not the S2.
Thanks to anyone who is able to help.
Partial solution
I have been trying to find a solution for this and found a couple of things. It seems a lot of alternative calendar apps use the system calendar app for their event view, which means that with the samsung calendar in place you cannot get clickable links even with something like Calendar Pad installed.
I was able to get the cyanogen mod calendar apk working (looks like it is pretty much stock gingerbread) after backing up and uninstalling the touchwiz calendar with titanium backup. There is a graphical glitch on some views where a circle appears in the top left corner but other than that it seems to work well. it also allows alternative apps like calendar pad to load the standard android event view which has clickable links.
Unfortunately I can still not get this to work in the samsung app to keep a consistent look to the apps but thought I would post in case this helped anyone.
I was missing the same functionality, installed 'Business Calendar Free'
- works a treat
I had a look at business calendar and the functionality was there. I am just trying to find some way to get the same functionality in the touchwiz app to keep a consistent theme across the phone. Is there any way to make this change or a dummies guide to exiting the aol?
Hey guys,
I have finally decided to make the switch to Android with this phone, however I do have a question I was hoping to answer before I switch...
One of the features I missed on my Iphone was being able to turn on my phone and have the homescreen display my outlook calendar and to do list(windows phone). I have tried doing some research and some hands on the Verizon store so I know about widgets...although the ones on the droidx I played with were very small.
So my question is...can I set my homescreen to give me half the screen worth of outlook events/tasks and then move everything else to other pages? Sorry if this is a repeat/stupid question but I appreciate the help!
The calendar app has a widget which will show your calendar apps, you can sync to outlook via various means including exchange activesync for your e-mail.
You also can download a app like Jorte it has several different widgets sizes like. 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 of the screen size.
I use Launcher Pro Plus. Great widgets (calendar, agenda, facebook, tweeter, etc). I hope app will get updated for ICS
Also the CalenGoo app has tonnes of different size widgets for all your needs!

this looks like it will work great!
soon as I switch there will be no more excuses why I forgot to do something!
you can also install widget locker and display all of this on your lock screen (the initial screen you see when you turn the screen on)
Haha as you see there are many ways to do things on Android. +1 for Possibility.
you can do almost anything on android. super customizable! That's the beauty of Android.
Jorte can do this
There is also an app called Pure that is a highly customizable widget for your ToDo app of choice and Calendar, and looks much better IMHO. Jorte is the best calendar I've seen and that's what I use as an app, but with Pure you can skin the widget (I like highly transparent) and set all sorts of options so it looks perfect on the home screen...
So yes, the beauty of Android is you have TONS of options to do what you are looking for... Granted I haven't used an iPhone before, but I venture to guess you'll have many more options than you have now.
This probably does not seem like a big deal but it's driving me nuts.
The HTC agenda/calendar widget causes sense to crash every time it loads.
Yes, I have tried the android one and Pure Calendar Widgets etc but they are not the same.
I was going to try digging the HTC Calendar widget out of the 1.20 Stock ROM to see if it will install. Anyone know if that's likely ?
I don;t want to be a whiner but I'm kinda mad some of the crap HTC pull. In this latest release I've lost the two widgets I used most, the news widget and the agenda widget

you are right...I am also facing the same BUG, sense is rebooting one we select the calander/agenda widget....
Regards,
Isn't that only if you have your Facebook calendar syncing before adding the widget though? Possibly because it's having to add too many events?
Agenda widget working fine here with two calendars syncing - plus you can add the FB calendar once the widget is on screen.

No. I am only showing 1 calendar in the agenda widget and it's not the facebook one. It's my exchange calendar.
The bug seems to be linked to the number of appointments you have.
Mine worked fine for the first few days and then this morning started crashing. This is because now that the easter holidays are almost over my work diary for next week is really full, hence lots of appointments etc.
If I change the widget to only show the facebook calendar or only show tasks etc it works fine.

Damn. That does not seem to be working.
I;'ve got the system image out of the rom but I can't extract it using unyaffs.
Any pointers from any of you android chef genuises ?
Maybe someone could just extract and post the agenda widget apk and I will test ?
Cheers.
I had the same problem once. I have 2 calendars synced + facebook.
I removed the widget and re-add it and it's working.
I saw an other bug : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590772
Fix Found (Sort of...)
I have found a fix for this.
If I tell the widget to "Show All Calendars" it's fine.
If i tell it to only show one, even if that's the only calendar with any events in it, it causes Sense to crash.
Guess I'll just tell it to show all calendars
Strange - show all causes mine to crash as it then includes Facebook.
If I just use my work exchange and Google calendars it works fine and I'd imagine there's more than 20 entries in those?

I am using the standard Android widget (the 2x3 one) and it annoyingly doesn't seem to update. When I add items to my calendar they do not show up and sometimes the widget shows a day behind the actual date.
There also seems to be no refresh button for this widget. Is there a way to do that and does anyone else have this problem?
Ahhhhh ! Fixed in the 1.28 OTA update. Sweet, sweet bugfix

I recently had issues with the Gmail widget not updating at all, even after entering the Gmail app by pressing the widget, the widget will not update and stay outdated, unread emails will stay unread after reading them etc..
After searching I found out that Beautiful widgets is the cause, after uninstalling it the Gmail widget began updating again..
Just a heads up..
this sucks as I really liked BW and now I'm after a decent replacement.
fancy widgets is nice.

Exactly what I'm using atm..
Still no luck, it was updating here and there, sometimes took it a couple of minutes to update, but now it's stuck again, no updates.. I think it's a known issue now, heard allot of people complaining about it since updating to 4.0.4
I have the same issue. I'm running stock 4.0.4, unrooted. I'm also currently running Nova Launcher and have BW installed. However, it sounds like removing BW is not necessarily a fix...? I might try to uninstall it anyway and see how it goes.
Regardless, I've submitted a problem report to the Gmail team. Hopefully this will get fixed soon.
On a side note, I've been having similar issues with the Calendar widget. Anyone having that problem?
