Evernote kind of app with reminders

Guys
I like evernote but they don't plan to support reminders
Does anybody know of an app that you can add tasks to with reminders but it also syncs to the cloud and accessible via browser? Maybe an app that syncs directly with google calendar?
Thanks

See if you can get in on the beta for this app:
http://discussion.evernote.com/topi...ndar-app-for-android-alpha-beta-users-wanted/
It's basically a calendar app with Evernote integration. It might be what you're looking for,

S Planner and Facebook integration

Hello,
I havent found a way to do that...
I have facebook app installed, abut it only syncs contacts.
I cannot find a way to sync my facebook calendar with S Planner.
Can someone help?

Try Haxsync, should work for calendar. Dont know if facebook syncs hi-res pictures nowadays, if not, use haxsync for that too!

Thanks, but i am trying to intergrade s planner with facebook not contacts, as advertized on several Samsung Note 2 videos.

Go to settings--->under accounts, click Facebook. It will then show the Facebook account that ur phone is synced to. Click on the username and u should see 3 options with boxes next to it. Ensure that the box sync calendar is checked.
Then click sync now. It should work...

Yea, it worked like a charm

Facebook events sync with Google calendar
what you can also do is sync Facebook calendar with Google calendar. Then it'll be easy to choose which calendar to show/hide from S-Planner settings
Just search for "add facebook calendar to google calendar"

SOLVED
I don't know if this has been solved yet but it might be the same as with Galaxy S4. Go to add accounts and there should be another Facebook "account" you should add. It's called something like "Sync apps with Facebook". After you login you will find the two missing options: Sync Calendar and Sync Gallery.

Mine seems to sync ok, but I have the Google account at as default for calendar. Might be that entries for Samsung account do not get synced with Google(?).

Edit: New Answer
Maybe I didn't have Google Calender installed. I don't remember it syncing both ways on my Note and remember a message stating so when first launching it.
Thanks for bringing this up.

Good concise explanation. It's confusing and is one reason I don't use the s-planner app at all. What I need is to add an event on one device and have it appear on all of them, and they're not all Note devices.

kable said:
Yep, It says that when you first open it.
It imports from Google calender but does not export any information which sucks because otherwise it is such a nice program.

Just checked on mine to be 100% sure, and it is working.
On my Note 8 i entered an appointment using Google account, even added picture snote, and it synced momentarily (except for the note).
Maybe try installing native Google calendar from the Market, and check if your sync works?

It is working fine for me too. I also have an exchange account from work and sync all the calendars fine and I can create appointments from the Note 8 and see it 1 minute after on my GNexus calendar.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda app-developers app

Mine works. Under settings in the S Planner make sure you have the calendar for your gmail account checked, not your samsung. What does not sync are tasks.

Mine still doesn't work. Initial calendar got populated but any new updates don't work either from s Planner to Google calendar or visaversa

This would mean that sync had access to network and partly works.
Really strange. Maybe try deleting the Google account and clearing Google Calendar Sync data (settings/apps/all) + restart and then set it again?

Go to settings -> accounts and click Google. See if sync is disabled.

Have an update:
Initially I did not have Google calendar installed on Note; only S Planner. In Google sync calendar was checked. In S Planner mycalendar was the @gmail.com calendar. But this was rsulting in updates not flowing between teh S Planner and calendar on Google
Then I wrote this post..
Yesterday night I also installed Google calendar app on Note, and voilla... S Planner and Google Calendar (both app and actual web Google calendar) are now in sync.
So, my conclusion is that for S Planner and Google Calendar you need; last 2 sound obvious....
1. Both S Planner and Google Calendar apps installed on Note;
2. Google calendar sync turned on
3. Google calendar chosen as the calendar on S Planner

Can you check Google calender from the web and see if Google has your appointments saved there as well?
I always seemed to loose my appointments if I wiped my phone.
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using XDA Premium HD app

Yes, they are in Google Web calendar.
I've been using Googel calendar app (on android, iOS and Windows) for a long time an that was not an issue.
issue was adding things from S Planner were not saving to Google, and now they do

Hi,
I had same problem with my Galaxy SIII. When I installed the Calendar app from google, S Planner started to sync via it.
I also saw that under options->accounts->Google: Calendar did not want to sync without the google app installed.
Good luck! :good:

Had the same problem on my Galaxy Note 10.1, and nothing worked including installing the Google Callendar.
At some point I've noticed that the first field on the event creation page on the S-Planner is the callendar (In other words: you choose which callendar to create the event on).
For obvious reasons, the default one is device callendar which doesn't sync to anything. But once you change it once, it stays that way .
Hope it helps .

Calendar
I live and die by my Google Calendar.
Here's your problem (I think):
You have to go through the SPlanner, Google Calendar or the app of your choice and 1st enable and disable under each account which calendars you want to keep synced. I disable everything except my Google Calendar. 2nd In the configuration somewhere you should find an option for setting the default calendar.
Only the Google calendars will sync to Google Calendars - I know it seems obvious, but this is why I disable all the others.

the solution to this is whats stated above.
Tested everything with my s3 and the only thing worked is installing (or in my case re-installing the google calendar app on my s3)

thank you for this fix. I installed google calendar app on all my devices and no more sync problems between s-planner and Digical Calendar app. I just hide the google calendar icon

Just so you know... I have more than one Google account. One is dedicated to google play store only. I noticed that in Splanner the default may point to the first account. Which may be setup with everything disabled. Since I have both Samsung and Google accounts for calenders, I set all calenders as my option. Now all accounts sync. So be careful about which calender you set your Splanner to, as it may give you problems as well.

Problem is that in S-Planner you can dismiss and it remains on the calendar.
In G Calendar you need to delete.
Also with G Calendar enabled you need to do this twice.
I don't understant on my Note 8 I don't need G Calendar it just syncs.
In Note 3 it doesn't work without G calendar a real PITA.

Bypassing Exchange Security?

Besides an Xposed mod, which we can't do yet, is there another way to bypass it? Maybe even a different app to setup the exchange account for email? IDK. I hate the restrictions tho lol.

Is this a corporate account? If so I recommend accepting the restrictions and security. If it's your personal account then I know there was an app I used on my S7 that could bypass it I just can't remember the name (not helpful I know).

There's an app called Nine that can apply the security policy at the app level instead of the entire device. It's a paid app and somewhat expensive, I've been using it for years and it works really well.

The app Mailwise does what you are looking for, and it's not too bad of a mail app, either.
I had the same issue, our IT people required remote wipe ability, and obscenely long password requirements just to unlock the screen.

I've been using Nine since my company moved us to a hosted exchange. Don't remember how much it cost me, but definitely worth looking into.

I second the usage of mailwise. it's a pretty good mail application generally speaking..

Mailwise for me too. http://mail-wise.com/faq/#bypass

Oh man, I'm in the same boat. The Exchange security settings for one of my client email accounts is obnoxious. If I enable the account on my phone it will no longer let me use a swipe pattern or pin to unlock the phone. It only lets me use a password. The password also has to have at least four digits, one #, and at least one capital letter. It's absolutely ridiculous. Fingerprint still works, at least. But that's annoying when my phone is on my desk.
So I don't even bother enabling that exchange account on my phone. Instead, I discovered Newton Mail (play store link) a few months back. This has become my go-to email/calendar solution on both my phone and new Windows 10 machine. It's a fantastic email/calendar app that's extremely fast and has material design for Android and fluent design for Windows 10, so it flows really well with both platforms.
The only downside to this is I can't rely on Google calendar on my phone since it won't show meetings/reminders for this Exchange account, since I refuse to enable it within the system. But I've learned to use the calendar built into Newton Mail, which is actually pretty excellent. It even works with the new Google widget for the Pixel 2/2 XL. The widget updates with the upcoming event just like it would with Google Calendar. And clicking the event opens up that specific event in Newton.
I highly recommend giving Newton a try. Especially if you also use a Windows 10 machine.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'll try some of these suggestions, much appreciated! For the users that have nine, does the calendar show in Google calendar or do you have to go into that app to see it?

Nine is just an email client (like Newton Mail). It doesn't communicate with the Google Calendar app on your phone. It has its own calendar baked in.

Not true. All meetings setup on the corporate side get thrown in to my Google calendar. I actually had to turn off notifications from Nine because I was getting double from Google Calendar.

Interesting! I may have to look into using this myself, then.

Confirmed that nine also syncs the calendar with Google calendar. I've been using it for years. Best exchange app out there for me

Just installed Nine to handle my exchange account. It immediately started syncing to the Google calendar. So happy to be able to use Google Calendar again, now that I can truly see all my events in it.

Nine is the best.

If it is just for the ActiveSync policies, the Exchained app can bypass those and let you keep using gmail.

any update on this guys?

Do you use Xiaomi Mail app or third party mail app?

Which mail app do you use?
Also is there a way to open xls or other files, other than wps office in xiaomi mail?
What do you think of WPS Mail app?
Thanks

I don't know about xiaomi mail app so I can't say whether it specially opens apps on wps or not. But if it doesn't force you on wps then you can use pretty much every other readers as well. I'm using microsoft's apps for the office things since they are free and work well but you can try officesutie as well it works good.
For the mail apps, I'm using inbox for gmail but for the others (and sometimes for gmail too) using the browser versions.
On desktop, thunderbird+browser all the way ?

Gmail all the way here. Used inbox for a while but I switched back.

I'm using xiaomi mail.
The main reason is because inbox by Google didn't show the notifications for new mails.
The miui mail app isn't perfect, but it's enough for some basic mail stuff.
