Hey, I love my s621 and all the awesome software that you guys have provided on the forums. I was wondering if there was an application that would allow me to make notes, such as:"clean your room" and also remind me to of the note at a certain( or at certain intervals) Thanks!

yes, it is called calendar and is on your phone.
lol, i guess that works(i never use it, thats y i didnt think of it) but i was hopin for maybe something simpler.
Thanks!
Wow!
I'm gonna apologize if I sound like a prick, but if people took the time to play with their phones a bit to learn what apps were in their device, and what they did, we wouldn't have questions like this where a simple calendar app can remind you when you need it to, it comes with all roms and is not complicated to use.
True...
I use Google calendar for all my needs and set it up to send me a text message 15 minutes prior to the event/task. Then I use Oggsync to sync to my phone from the Google calendar. May switch to NuevaSync soon thouh (free).

Google offers a Sync option for free. It syncs contacts and your calendar OTA (over the air)
Does that require a data package? All i have is unlimited text. Maybe it wont be too much to recognize on the bill?

Im thinking about moving from WinMo to Android. If you could help me with few questions...
I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?
The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?
To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...
Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
Any comments and help is appreciated... Thanks!

HTC Sync comes with the phone, I also had some contacts stored on my company mail but I've started migrating to gmail because the really really neat integration and extremely useful features.

Yes you can, there are vagarious free apps on the market that even offer feature widgets/notes for the screens
Hi there!
Did you already buy a Desire? I've used winmob before and you sound like you're totally schooled at Outlook with usb sync. HTC has exchange service support and you can sync through usb, It was long time ago since I ever used active sync but a friend of mine use it on Desire and he was not satisfied.
There is calendarpad that can show on start screen as activities or regular day view. Editing documents are thought to be done through Google docs as it is thought to be faster than a full scale office program on the phone. You can other wise get quick office premium for editing offline.

I am currently using a Topaz windows mobile based phone, and thinking about switching to a Desire.
However, I use my phone extensively for business, and need to know if there are some things that Android will allow.
First off, I need to be able to access my home network with the wireless. Currently I use Resco explorer, browse to my server share, and copy the files I will need to the SD card. Is this possible on Android? Is it just as easy? I often have to do this first thing in the morning, when I don't have a lot of time. This is an absolute deal breaker for me, so I am really looking for some help before I commit to a new phone.
Non show stoppers but nice to have;
Cookie's Home Tab type display , which allows me to show my next 3 calendar appointments, and 3 tasks on the home screen. Will Sense allow this on the Desire? I like the Sense interface and widgets, so would prefer to keep Sense, but am prepared to apply additional software to allow me to do what I need to. (Paid or otherwise).
The ability to map hardware keys to specific functions (eg I currently have long press on the back key to switch off my wifi. Handy for in the car, when I forget to switch it off).
Ability to edit open office, and ms office documents.
That's it I guess. Any and all feedback very much appreciated.
1) yes you can browse files on your home network using the desire, you need 3rd party software tho also there are apps that will let you controll your pc and or device remotlely from your device and or pc
2) there are loads of calendar widgets on the marketplace im sure one will take your fancy
3) the wifi will switch itself off after x amout of time idle
4) the desire comes with quick office out of the box but there are tons of office apps so yeah
Just a small warning if you think to sync your mobile with the PC (callendar, notes, mails, contacts) via bluetooth - it's not possible in android.
Well, not entirely true, as there is "Missing Sync" in the market, but costs for about $40 - a bit too much.
So, try to love your usb cable
Or sync through the google things and sync your home stuff with the google things. For me it's annoying as I hate the google things, but it does sort of work.

Why would you buy a google thing-centric phone if you hate google things?
On it's way
Thanks guys, you've convinced me.
Ordered from O2 for the princely sum of £285 + VAT, which I thought was a mistake, but it seems not. Be rude not to at that price.
Bit of luck it will arrive tomorrow, as I'm not working, so can play all day

You're not "sharing" with google though. You're just using their webspace to host information such as calendar and contacts.
Do you really think that Google have the time to look though all of their user's data, see your calendar information and contacts?

Why would they bother with your phone when they've got street view cars to access open WiFi networks?

Most people here swear by Astro file manager and their add ons.
Check out the Sense agenda widget for upcoming appointments and tasks.
Widgets are the way to go, Sense widgets for WiFi, mobile connectivity, airplane mode etc etc etc......

Seeing you mention the bloatware
Is there an updated guide for bloatware removal. Most of the guides that I have found have either a safe to remove, unknown, or not safe. Also, alot of the files are either no longer there, not listed at all, or the names have changed drastically or status has changed( unsafe to safe mostly)

Is the option there? Sometimes it takes a few hours to sync the contact pix.

The sns*.apks may have been removed from your ROM.
If that is the case, you won't be able to add a Facebook account in the accounts and sync settings.

Ah, thanks Nube. OP, let me know if you need any of those files.
Hello
I want to synchronize my facebook contacts with my galaxy nexus contact app. So I go to "add an account" in the contact app, and "facebook", but nothing ... no window for add my acount appear, I return on the before window and I can't add my facebook account.
Have you an idea please ?
Thank's
Google disabled this option with a previous version of android. Other manufacturers such as HTC are allowed to add workarounds though which is why it will still works on their phones. There's several topics on this already. I agree though, it's a pain.

Ive synced my pics with "SyncMyPix" which works ok (not very HD)
Will Google fix this? I mean they still got it in the option menu, doesnt seem like they stoped working on it?!
Oh yeah since Gingerbread on nexus s I think. But it's crazy because Facebook is a choice in "add an account" so ....
So, no alternative ?
I just used FriendCaster instead to sync Facebook with my contacts. It doesn't show their status updates in the People app, but the profile pictures work fine.
Agree
Yeah, I was confused and thought my GN was playing up when I clicked on facebook and nothing happened!
Google trying to force thier crappy google+ circle thing...
Friendcaster worked ok for me as an alternative but unfortunatly it adds ALLLLLL my firends, most of which I never would want to call

It has nothing to do with Google. Facebook refuses to comply with Google's terms for portability of data. Google thinks you should be able to export your friends contact info. Facebook does not allow this.

Hilarious, given that FB doesn't seem to care about its users' privacy or handing out their info in anything else FB does.
But yeah, they're the problem. If you want to see it integrated, complain to Facebook, not Google.
So this issue is directly with the facebook .apk??? or is in the ROM we have in the galaxy Nexus??
I would think the ROM we have, as FaceBook isn't using the new API Google supplied from what I'm reading here.
So, when CM9 came out for our Nexus, with that ROM we should be fine? i think..
We need to find a solution for this, Friendcaster is crap and we should not need to use another app for this, it only consume more ram and battery...

I really don't understand this statement. It's not as if you are entitled for the data to sync. They haven't promised it to sync and it doesn't. Facebook data is Facebook data, if they don't want you to sync it with their app they don't have to.
It hasn't done it on android for a while, and it is hit and miss how well it does it on sense and other work arounds. Facebook can do what Facebook want to do at the end of the day.

Excuse me but, 1 week before i had a Motorola atrix until i lost it, and with the ROM it came i was able to sync all my contacts from Facebook, then i instaled CM7 and again i was able to sync everything from Facebook, this can be fixed to work in ICS or i hope will work in CM9.
Modaco ROM has fixed this, i will try it and i will let you know.
