I use my phone a lot for work, and just wondering what the best 4x4 widget/app is for organising my appointments/meetings etc?
I'd like something that will Sync with Outlook Calendar on my work emails as well as allowing me to input meetings/appointments in my phone. I would also like something that will allow me to have some sort of 'to-do list'.
Thanks a lot!!
I use an app called
gsyncit it is not free (but not expensive) but I manage to sync Calendar Contacts and Tasks NOT emails
Hello
I do it using gmail calendar
How i do it :
Install google calendar sync (freetool can be found in google) on your pc and configure ure gmail account
That will push your outlook calendar to gmail
That can be done in two ways
( outlook to gmail / gmail to outlook)
Without gmail i dont know if there is another way to make it work
Cheers

Looking for a calendar app like the HTC sense one but for non-sense/AOSP that will sync Facebook birthdays and google sync. It doesnt need to be fancy just something that will work. Anyone have any suggestions?
Jorte does this and is a great calendar. And it's free.
I recommend using launcher pro plus, it has a calendar widget with 2 views and is scrollable, also the launcher is infinitely better.

I'll be honest. I'm not a facebook guru. I know jorte has all my facebook friends birthdays on there without me doing anything. So I assume yes. All I have is facebook app set up on my phone, and then my regular google account.
Pure calendar, pure grid calendar, pure messenger.

There's a free app in the market called syncmypix. That will do it. Also go into accounts and add ur Facebook into the accounts.
If you have the Facebook For Android app that is from Facebook just open the app, go into settings>sync contacts and make sure that sync with existing contacts is checked. Then it will sync all your existing contacts with their Facebook account.
Hi all,
I've been using Business Calendar for a while. It synchronises my gmail calendar and also my facebook events/birthdays. This is really useful because I don't need to put an event into my calendar after I've already accepted it.
Since switching to a custom ROM (JellyTime), Business Calendar does not seem to recognise my facebook account on the phone so I cannot get it to synchronise the facebook events. The instructions say that it should recognise any calendars on your phone but that does not happen.
Does anyone know how to get facebook events to synchronise with the calendar?
Thanks.
Any thoughts from anyone? Alternatively, does anyone know if you can get the Google calendar to sync with Facebook events?
Thanks.

From Facebook you can export events and birthdays as calendar links that can then be added to your Google calendar. They will then appear as additional calendars on your phone.
I forget exactly how to do it in Facebook, but I think you go to events, click on settings, and then you have the export option. Google it for more details.
Good luck!

Thanks Zamula - your way worked! Just one point of clarification, rather than exporting, you need to right click on the link and copy the address. You can then add it as a Google calendar under Other Calendars. In Business Calendar you can then add the calendars (1 for birthdays, 1 for events) to synchronise them. So far so good, the last thing is whether the calendars auto update. I'll be able to tell that when I'm invited to a new event!
Have a new AT&T Note 2. My google calendar on PC syncs with my stock phone calendar, but entries on phone calendar don't show up on PC google calendar. What can I do. Thx in advance.
When you go to create a new event in the native calendar app, at the very top of the form is an option to select the calendar the new event will be created in. By default, it creates a new event in My Calendar, which doesn't sync with Google. You have to select your Google account as the calendar for the new event. Not sure, but you might try deselecting My Calendar in Settings -> Calendars to see if you can change the default behavior.

The native calendar and one I downloaded called Calendar seem to be in sync with each other regardless of how I set them. I set the native one to my sync with gmail calendar and the new one has a folder/calendar I created. No matter which account I select, the other calendar changes to it. I can't use them as two different calendars. Hope that was clear enough! Any thoughts?

I can't help you directly but have you tried Agenda Widget Plus? It lets you choose which calendars to use (e.g. exchange or google calendars). It's not really a calendar app but has nice widget options
Android basically collapses all calendars into a single view. Depending on the app or widget, you can select which calendars to view, as well as to which calendar a new entry should be saved. The data is kept within each calendar, so if you delete one the other calendars will stay. If you use Outlook, its very much like the overlay view.
Hope that helps clear the confusion.
