Hey guys,
For the longest time, the reminders in the memo widget on the shelf haven't worked.
There are countless threads on the OPO forums, some dating back over a year. No fix so far though.
Does anyone have a hotfix for the reminders? Seems somewhat pointless to use memos when the reminders don't work.
Not a big fan of other Note Apps widgets since they always force you to open up the app to write a note and/or set a reminder.
Thanks guys

Hey World, does anyone know if there is a way to get the HTC notes widget to work on Launcher Pro. My wife is an avid notes taker and really liked that widget. I recently put launcher pro on there cause she liked how you can expand the home screen to hold more apps. If anyone knows of a way or maybe another widget that can flip pages like the HTC widget that would be cool. I've looked all over the market.
Anything sense = sense only.
If you really searched the market I have to believe you did not read.
I searched for notes widget, scrolled down twice and found an app called simple notes. It cycles the notes on the widget when you press the crease. I know this because 1. I read the app description and 2. I tried it.
There I did your work for you. Now go install it on your wifes phone and tell her you found it all on your own.
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?
Geezus! I understand since I've switched from a note3 to a new note4 there will be some changes, but I've gotten used to (and really like) a few of the native note apps and functions like:
Action Memo widget
Where it shows a yellow post-it-note style memo directly on the home screen. You can simply swipe up or down to scroll though your different memos. The fine people at samsung thought to do away with this! Action memo isn't completely taken away, but the widget is gone!
Also,
The ability to hover your finger above the screen to preview messages and emails, of course you need to use the samsung stock messaging and email apps. However they taken this functionality away! This is what separated my high end phone to other phones that's couldn't do this. I guess now I'll just need to whip put my spen and show the differences.
Any thoughts?
To some people, this probably isn't a big deal, however to others (including me) is!
Yeah!! I was so bummed about the finger hover thing. I came from a note 2!!! AND I WAS excited for this feature...
Action Memo's are now saved in S Note and show up in the S Note widget. They can be synced to the desktop and other Samsung devices which is smart. Having them as an island never really made sense. At least to me.
An action note widget work around that I found...
So I opened an action note and used the pin icon to place it on the screen as a widget. But that only does one memo. So I created a new memo, and then repeated it over and over. I now have a home page with 2 rows of 4 memos on it. I just use them as scratch paper and then clear them when I am done for the day.
The only catch is that you cannot save an empty memo as a widget, so I put a single dot on the corner of each memo and then it saves.
Hi,
I am one of the Note 7 converts. I am just wondering if you guys have any good note taking apps suggestion.
Is there any with some quick launch shortcut? Like double tapping on screen to take a quick note. Something like that.
Let me know
Google Keep all the way.
Evernote if you fancy more.
They both sync between devices and you can assign a shortcut via Nova or Action Launcher or just use the widget they come with.
Download the app Writer Plus it's amazing for taking notes.
Keep: Simple, intuitive UI and always synced.
I've tried Evernote before but it has too many bells and whistles for simple note taking tasks.
One more for Keep. Especially since it allows you to draw notes
Keep is really nice and does the job.

Hey guys,
I got Pixel 2XL hoping for the at a glance feature to work. I work in aviation and I need to check my calendar every single day to see what time I have my report and where I'm going to. Since my roster is on my calendar I was expecting it to show in at a glance but it doesn't. My at a glance it's only date and weather.. never changes for appointments or flights that I have on my Google Calendar.
How can I fix it ? I've added 2 screenshots to show, I'm on my off day today and it's an event all day, so at glance should say day off right ? When I'm working doesn't change also... Basically it's always always just time and weather displaying on mine.
There's any way I can fix it ?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance
do the events all include a notification? If not, they will never show in at a glance.
also, make sure they are enabled.
