[Q] Calendar events on home screen - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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

Has anyone ported any of the Hero widgets over? That would be nice.

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.

Is that a Calendar widget?

Is that a Calendar widget that shows the upcoming events on the main screen? In which it will auto refresh itself once there is a new event being uploaded to the calendar?
was "Is that" meant to say "Is there"? if the answer is yes, then you're in luck, search Calendar Widget in Dream/Dream Applications
My bad. 'Is there', hahah.. Is the Calendar Widget stable enough?
I like the Pure Calendar widget.
Right click on your home page and select widget. You probably have a calendar widget already on your phone (depending on which ROM you are running)
Is that a calendar widget, or are you just happy to see me? sorry, couldn't help it.

Question about HTC Calendar Widget

Hey guys,
I'm using the Pure Calendar Widget right now but I'm not really a fan of the look. It just doesnt fit to the Sense UI.
The problem I'm having with the HTC Calendar Widget is this:
You can choose bewteen two looks. 1 is the whole month as a grid, the 2nd shows you your next appointment. I would love to use the 2nd, but being able to see all my appointments directly there listed without tapping on the widget and checking the overview. Is this easily doable?
Your right, there's not much out there for that with the HTC style theme...closest I could find was:
- Laik Agenda Widget
But that's not quite perfect either.
You coukd give pure Calendar more Skins.
I've Pure calender Widget installed and I'm using Dark grey with white outline.
Did you tried that?

Appointments on lock screen?

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.
+1
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.

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.

At a glance settings

Hey i put the at a glance widget from google on my Home screen, but it doesn't show my calendar entries. Only the date. When i first tap on it it asked me whether to open Google calendar or outlook. I said outlook and do always use this. Well i want to switch it but i don't know how. There are no settings, no default settings or anything like that.
Further there was for about half an hour weather information on the at a glance widget but now there are no more weather Infos. I don't know why it was there or why it is gone now.
Anyone who can explain that widget to me?
