Calendar app - Nook Touch Themes and Apps

Hi guys. I have an NTG and use aCalendar but I'm not fully satisfied. For example I can't create new events.
Just curious what everyone around here recommends. It would need to sync to gmail calendar.
Thanks!

I installed Calendar Pad of MoaiApps (sorry, XDA doesn't let me post a direct link). Haven't used it much, but so far it seems to work fine

I use touch calendar and it fully syncs with Google calendar.

It's a shame Calendar Pad doesn't show the location in the week view, aCalendar is much more attractive, if only it allowed adding entries!

I've just noticed, you can use the great looking aCalendar to add appointments.
Just go to it's settings and near the bottom you have settings for New Event. Tick the box for 'External editor' then when you add an appointment tick to always use the default Android calendar app. Then it seems to work perfectly.
The problem I have is that I can't set a secondary gmail account to auto sync the calendar, just the primary one. Anybody else managed to get a second account syncing?

This old version of Android doesn't allow calendar syncing with more than one gmail account.
The solution is simple though - simply add the second calendar to your primary gmail account's calendar, then it will be selectable and synced on the Nook.

I had the same problem. I needed more simplistic approach to the whole calendar. I was surprised to see that ColorNote has a calendar too. It perfect for simple note taking and events it has some synchronization features as well.

S-Planner's Task does not syncs with the Google Account

Bub go into the settings of the S Planner:
First check your calendars under the "Calendars" tab it will be the first one in the settings. See if you have your Google calendar checked there, If not then check it. It will show your Google account there but you need to tap it to open the two options first one will be your email (again ) and the second one should be US Holidays.
If the above written things are already there, and you are still not able to sync the calender, then go to the second to the last option in the s planner settings and choose Calendar sync options....you will land into the, accounts and sync settings....there see if a check mark is present on the sync calender option. If not then check it there.
Hope it resolves your issue,
Click thanks if it helped
Hey Samuel,
Thanks for your reply. The solution provided by you didn't fixed my problem. My question was specifically for the synchronization of the Google Calendar's Task list (and not the Events) with the S-Planner's Task list. The Google Calendar's Events are synchronizing with the S-Planner's Calendar Events freely but NOT with the case of TASKS.
Same problem
Hello everyone!
I have the same problem in my Galaxy Note S Planner app with the Task Sync... the events are syncronized but the tasks won't....
any solution?
Thanks, regards!!
you can't sync task with the s-planner.
why? ask samsung

Correct - tasks are not Calendar, they are Tasks which is a different animal.
This for some is a genuine misunderstanding of the difference between Tasks and Calendar and for others is more a bit of wishful thinking on the part of the wring app.
Yep, that's why a lot of folk use Jorte - the task sync actually works and is there nicely displayed with your calendar.
And it has transparent widgets.

I have an Office 365 account which I am syncing via activesync. This syncs ALL my tasks into the S-Planner task list ( There is an option when creating a task for the task to be a built in task or an outlook 365 task)

I don't use Office or 365 so can't sync using that.
I use Ubuntu/Linux in my workstation.
The S Planner Task Widget is cool. It spans the whole Screen so you can use it effectively. But I need to be able to access the Tasks from my PC too preferebly in Google Tasks with Google's features of notifications etc. which doesn't seem possible.
Do reply back if you find a Solution.

This does not solve your problem directly, but try MyPhoneExplorer, which syncs your contacts, messages and tasks, so they are backed up.

As a previous post suggested use Jorte - provided you never need to use search on events or quick add it works very wel, it syncs both events and tasks perfectly. And the customisation options are endless...
If you're determined to use S Planner, then find something else to sync tasks...
It appears that Samsung left out the support to sync Tasks for Google accounts, you can with Exchange accounts like Hotmail but not Google.
An excellent alternative I've found is an App called Tasks by Team Tasks, it looks good, clean interface, works with multiple lists and the widget can be resized to fill the space you want.

How about using Titaniumbackup on a regular basis? You can re-endorse your calendar settings in 5 seconds! It worked for me even when switching from ICS to JB and using the ICS backup files!

I know this doesn't help you right now, and it sure is not the desirable and most comfortable way , but in the worst case, you will always have your calendar running. And it's actually not so hard to backup only your calendar settings on a regular basis .. maybe I should start doing that,too =)
I have an s3, not a Note, but have been searching for a solution to this as well. It has been bugging me that if I use s voice to make a task it does it in the samsung calendar that won't sync to my google tasks. I certainly haven't found a way around it.
But for a while now I've been using calengoo as my default calendar and it does manage my tasks for me. And has some nice widgets, including a scrollable agenda widget with plenty of settings, and can include my urgent or dated tasks in that list. I have it syncing between my galaxy tab (original 7") and my s3 and it seems to do the job. It would be nice if stock apps could do it too, but it seems we're out of luck.

Why not use Gmail for everything? perhaps easier.
I stopped using all crappy softwares phones come with.
Gmail > Outlook is very stable.
You can sync it with EVO Collaborator for Outlook add-in if you like. And get a stable two way sync for Tasks,Calendar and Contacts!
You know that this thread is 2 years old
No. What they mean is Samsung Tasks and Google Tasks do not sync. Since calendar syncs with no problem, there is indeed something wrong when samsung tasks does not sync with google's since they are all integrated into S Planner as one unit.

What app are you using to sync? In your calendar, under settings, make sure the correct account is set to be sync'd and displayed.
Thanks but I don't want to use third party apps

[Q] Facebook Contacts Still Showing in Contacts, Unable to Hide

Hi, I have the T-Mobile Samsung S6 and I synced my Facebook Contacts. I realized the stock Contacts App displays all my contacts, so I selected Customized List under Contacts to Display and unchecked Facebook ALL Contacts. However, even after doing this my Facebook contacts STILL show in the list. Has anyone been successful in keeping Facebook Sync on but NOT having them display under Contacts?
Really? No one else?

Yes that is correct. I have it set on "Sync with Existing Contacts". Problem is, instead of syncing with existing contacts, it syncs all of my Facebook contacts and shows it in the Contact phone book, regardless if they were an existing contact or not.

You might want to try out Haxsync from the Playstore. Reviews are good...might be worth the $1.00.
EDIT: I just checked out the app in the playstore....I might be wrong. It hasnt been updated since 2013 lol

lol ok well seems like there isn't a quick solution to this.. .probably something with Samsung or Facebook's side. Thanks for the research though! I recall using Haxsync many years ago as well. It kinda solved some issues with syncing, though not perfect. I doubt any phone really needs it now lol, given no update since 2013

Outlook to Google Calendar Sync

Hi all,
I suspect that there are all manner of threads on this very topic given the difficulties that each company (Google and Microsoft) seem to have imposed with regards to syncing between the two, however, I find I get a more directed response if you ask in the specific phone type, so here it goes:
I have a hotmail account. I have had for years and it's my main email account and that which I use for work. Outlook has also a feature that picks up potential scheduled events from your emails and drops them into your calendar for you which I find useful. I also have a gmail account because, well you know, I love Android phones. However, having purchased a Oneplus 3t and coming over from an Xperia Z5 I am having some unexpected difficulty in syncing all my events and calendar schedules into one calendar view. I am using the Google calendar widget and would like a way of syncing my outlook events into this calendar. Is there any way of doing this?
I used aCalendar+ with the Z5 BUT there was the option to add Exchange accounts via the stock email app on that phone which I assume was the catalyst for allowing me to sync everything together in aCalendar+. This isn't an option on the OP3t.
Therefore is there a work around or an app that can do it for me? I am happy to use a decent third party calendar app providing it allows for a decent widget view option but would prefer to use google calendar view instead if possible.
PLEASE HELP. I thought this would be such an easy thing to achieve.
Had the same problem. Tried a few apps and by far the best one was Nine.

I agree that Nine is by far the best all-in-one email, calendar and contacts app, but it doe not support free Gmail accounts, only paid Google apps for Business accounts.

But what it does do is allow you to add a 'proper' Exchange account to your device which means the Google calendar app can be kept up to date. I then use the Gmail app for my three email accounts thus getting exactly what I need from the app itself. It's almost an app simply for syncing accounts more than anything else.
I have no issues with exchange showing up in Google calendar. Perhaps the truck is to add your exchange account in your Gmail app. You could still use another mail app to use exchange if you prefer (turn off all Gmail notifications for your exchange). I have gotten accustomed to using Gmail app for all my email accounts. I am on office 365. I know some older exchange servers don't get along with Google, my wife is on a 2003 exchange (for some reason beyond me). Nine is the only email app that works for her. Gmail will start out working but eventually stops syncing.

Email and Calendar solution?

Just moved from Samsung and I miss the stock email app where I could set up exchange email and have reminders on my phone calendar.
Any solution for Oneplus? I tried bluemail but cannot schedule email sync (I prefer to receive emails on phone after office hours). Have tried nine but still it does not add calendar events to my google calendar.
Pls help.
I use Gmail which works for exchange adequately.

I came in to suggest Nine. I have it up and running on my phone and it syncs with the Google Calendar application without issue. Did you give it permission to access your calendar when you first added your Exchange account? If you go to Nine -> Settings -> (Your account) -> Calendar do you have "Calendar sync" checked? You should then be able to go to your Google Calendar app and see a new "account" in the sidebar that will have any of your Exchange calendars that you can select and remove.
I've used Gmail in the past and am on my trial of nine. Both work well.

Shouldn't have to. The Default Calendar App setting just determines which calendar app opens when you tap the calendar icon within Nine.
I will suggest outlook. I have all emails inside it. Calendar is good as well.
