Just noticed something I miss from my old phone. I only just noticed it because I haven't had any appointments until now. Is there a way to show your nest appointment prominently, such as on a homescreen or on the lock screen? I notice the lock screen shows calls/voicemail/sms, but not appointments.

Is there any way to do this?

also want.
Still nothing as far as a lock screen, but after some googleing, I found that there are a few apps on the market that let you display this info on the homescreen as a widget. just search for the word "agenda" and a bunch will pop up. Right now I am using Agenda Widget because I can customize it to blend in with my clock. The other ones were functional, but kinda ugly.

You can try WidgetLocker and an agenda widget.

for your home screen, use Smooth Calendar, so far the best free widget I tried yet!
Can show up to 3 appointments as far out as you want. Looks clean and simple also.

Try Executive Assistant. It is a little flaky yet (I am using the free version), it does the trick for the meetings and even has a little slide unlock deal instead of the standard android lock screen.
widget locker + pure calendar or launcherpro plus calendar
Another vote for Pure Calendar, the Pure widgets are skinnable so they can have the look you want, and Messenger, Calendar, and Weather Forecast they provide most of what I want on my homescreen.

Anyone seen a better Calendar widget than the default?

Depends on your opinion I guess .. I use retro date (part of retro clock widget) which to me is better, says the date and uses two spots. When I click on it it goes to calendar. Some may not like it because it doesnt display the days events or to-dos, or w/e is on the calendar but to me its short and simple..

You have a couple of choices with hero.
If you have not tried the calender widget that is included in the free app "Quick Calendar" you might take a look. I preferred it to the stock one.
I'll go for quick calendar. it displays two upcoming events.
Has Quick Calendar's widget UI improved? Last time I used it, it was just a brick, not much better looking than the default widget.
I'm surprised it's taken this long to create a calendar widget that displays agenda in a non ****ty way.

I think Hero's calendar is much better than the standard android one

That solves nothing for those of us that would rather not run Hero.
However you may have a better time getting a dev to port the hero widget to cupcake then getting one to write one from scratch. The Hero widgets are very nice IMO.
I would love to see the Hero widget ported over. I cant believe no one has made a better calendar widget. I need something that will show three or more events at a time. Quick Calendar looks better then it used to but I always get force closes from it. I also hate how the widget's size depends on how long the event name is.
The anitime widget it nice just doesnt show events but it shows the entire month, and the clock is nice to and comes with it

Full calendar doesn't do much for me, especially a clock when you already have a clock in the top bar. More events is what I am looking for. The default widget only shows 1 event.
I use Agenda View in the Calendar. Can anyone tell me how to swiftly jump to the next month's Agenda. Now I have to switch to the month view mode, then click a day on the month, and then come back to the Agenda View. It is very inconvenient.
I use the tCalendar Widget.
Puts the date and day of the week as the Calendar icon. Perfect for what I need.
Have to agree with those that say the stock widget stinks - I'm also in need of one that would show a few more events.
What bugs me is there was a widget like that when Cupcake was first released, and I can't find it anywhere now.

Again, not a good solution for those of us who would rather not use home replacements. All the people are looking for in here is a widget. I've used sweeter home and its very amazing, but the lag that comes with home replacements I'd just rather not have.

agreed. lag = bad
AniWidget has both a plain "Calendar" and a "Google Agenda" components, but the latter one is just a clone of the stock widget, with fancier transparency. Hardly worth the $3.
So, with widgets now in full swing, I thought I would find out from you folks, which widgets could you not live without????
Personally, I love the FML widget. I look at it several times a day. I love how its customizable to fit any theme! Im sure I would be VERY UPSET to lose this one!
I also love the Android and Me widget and the 10,000 things to know widget.
So what about you guys?
def the bbc news widget for me. (being british)
really hope to see a decent sms widget, facebook widget, and contacts widget - bit like the ones on the hero.
from hero i cant live without the messaging preview widget
that thing is the best
dont have to keep going into the app now to preview a message to know if i feel like responding or not...
it lags the phone a little but oh well...
Flipclock with weather from hero
I've never got the hype with widgets - they seem to kill my battery and tbh I can just click one icon on my homescreen for whichever app I like.
Really the only widgets I use are the retro clock/date, wifi on/off and brightness. That is in addition to the music and google in another window.

I'm with you on this one. Though it is good to see next appointment in your calendar on the home screen. So calendar is the only widget that I use.
I'm looking for a lock screen that is like a calender list, I used to have this on my iphone and really want this quick list again
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
best way I know is to get widgetLocker and get a calendar widget..
widgetLocker will probably be the best 2$ you'll spend.
As for the calendar widget there are dozens to choose from. I personally like Gemini Calendar as there are more options to set in the calendar in itself not to mention it has a variety of widget options from compact to large. etc. my 2c
Another vote for widget locker. I like pure calendar.
Hello,
can anyone tell me hoe to get the calendar events displayed on the screen like in Symbian os you can get all the events and to-do list on screen.
thank you
Like a widget you mean? You can try Jorte, it's not the smoothest looking, but very functional once you dig all the possible settings.

I use "smooth calendar" it is a widget that I use just 3 lines - but i think you can make it bigger.
There are many calendar widgets in the market, as well as the built-in Samsung daily briefing widget - if you want to devote an entire home screen.
I use Agenda Widget. It's very nice and gives you enough widget options to make it as big or small as you like.
I don't use a Calendar so pardon this dumb question. From time to time I will hit or do something on my phone(I got no clue what I did) and the Stock Calendar appears,what causes the Calendar to pop up like that?
Thanks
What are you doing when this happens? Specifics

This what I am trying to figure out. So I posted here asking if there certain things "built-into" the phone that was used to make Calendar popup. Like is there some "shortcut" that causes this. It seems like I touch something on my phone screen and it pops up just not sure what I have done.
Thanks

Are you using a custom launcher or TouchWiz? On LauncherPro, you can customize a swipe action on the dock icons. Only thing I can think of is IF you were using a custom launcher and a swipe action was set to open Calendar.

I am using LauncherPro. I look around there for a setting .

Do you have a clock widget that also displays the date? If you do, they usually default to the calendar application when you touch the date, and the clock application with you touch the time.

Thanks that was it. I have Beautiful Widget Clock and Touching one area makes the Calendar pop-up.
Thanks again
