I have tried the "background calendar" app from the Market, but it isn't good as I think; first, the notes will interfere with the clock widget, second it take the data from my remote gmail account instead from local calendar (so if I cannot connect, it will not work or I cannot update it) and third (but this maybe a my inability) the background of the application isn't the one what I chose... So I ask: there is a calendar application that works like the symbian or WM one and display the appointment and the other reminder notes correctly in the background without interfere with the other object on the home screen?
Thank you for any answer

The calendar appointments seem to be working fine. But when I click on Tasks on my phone home page, it opens fine, lets me enter tasks. When I click on OK, it doesn't show the task I entered just now in the list. I am not applying any filter. It sometimes work, sometimes does not.
I was using ThumbCal for a while and it is a great software. But it started to hang in its calendar mode so got rid of it.
Any better task and calendar application or any suggestion on this issue?
Thanks.
What's the best way to manage tasks and birthdays on Froyo?
Tasks like things I have to do but not necessarily on a specific date but like "do it this week".
For birthdays, enable the special calendar in Google Calendar site and the phone will sync them.
Use gtasks for google tasks.
for birthdays i just sync with my google calendar which i have entered all my people's Bdays into.
for tasks i'm lame. i just schedule an event on my calendar for certains days during the week like "pay phone bill" on wed 11-11:30. works for me and i get the notification reminder and all.
I use gtasks too but I would love if they are shown in the calendar somehow...
for the birthdays I would like to be able to enter them with the phone, I do not want to use the calendar website
edit: I tried to use the birthday calendar on the website, but I can't add a date to it, its always added to my normal calendar...
okay I now got the birthdays into the calendar but they still do not show up on the phone, they do on google calendar website...
I hate that this feature is not implemented naturally on the phone.
even the cheapest phones have a build in calendar for birthdays...but an advanced phone like this not?
Using Astrid for tasks. Syncs online with Google Tasks, too.

You sure you hit the check box for The new calendar? I added all my contacts birthdays as their own calendar and just hit the check box for it.
I am considering buying Galaxy Note, but there is one issue I haven't been able to clear so far:
How compatible are the GN calendar (s-planner), memo (s-memo) and contacts with Outlook and Google calendar? Can I synchronize between GN and Outlook calendar and contacts? Are the s-memo notes transferred to PC and if so, can they be exported to any other format (Outlook memo? MS Onenote? Evernote? ASCII text? Graphics?)
I have already had Palm PDAs (with the Palm Desktop on PC), then WinMobile devices (with Outlook) and got quite used to the comfort of being able to view and edit contacts, schedules and memos on both PC and the mobile device. If GN doesn't allow this, this would be a serious downside for me.
Everything is synced with Google. If your Outlook syncs with google then it shouldnt be a problem with the calander and contacts. You can add s-memos to calander events, but if you dont do that, then you have to manually sync s-memo things to Google Docs. But other than that its completely autonomous. There are also a lot of apps that do what you want. I would recommend buying a Note.
syncs fine with hotmail, exchange, google and facebook.
I initially had an odd scenario where hotmail gained some facebook calendar events (birthdays) but that seems to have resolved itself.
Thank you for the answer.
It has been written somewhere that the latest version of S-Memo can also synchronize with Evernote. Can anyone confirm that? And if so, does it just send the content as an image or does it retain some more formatting (text? www links? etc.)

sync works with evernote but it send the notes as images.
I am a sync-o-phile (oo-er, sounds a bit rude), always have been.
I now have my calendar and contacts synced with Google & Outlook using and App called Sync2 from www.sync2.com. It seems to work fine, although can fail when outlook is closed and it is still alive (I close Outlook to sleep my PC or Outlook can crash). I sync it and several other web calendars at the same time.
I also have my Outlook to do list sync to ToodleDo, and then to Due Today both on my PC and my phone. It uses Outlook categories as Project names, which is neat. I have not tried linking with the Notes To Do list as this seems peculiar to the Note, and I want a more general solution.
I like that Google/Samsung now seems to carry over Outlook categories for contacts in the Note. That means I can use them properly.
I use Evernote to sync all my notes as it is far more powerful than the Google notes thing, and more generic. I also love the ability to open a file, edit it, and save again, and it updates the note.
I use Basecamp on my PC, phone, and the web for managing projects and collaborating with customers.
For files I use SugarSync, and it syncs with up to 3 devices, up to 2GB for free, and I typically just ignore it an expect my files to be wherever I am.
Odd thing is that I have noticed several contacts getting images from other sources I never asked to look up. I presume Facebook. This is bloody annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it?

This is quite possible. I have also noticed the same behaviour on my WinMobile phone (HTC Touch Pro2), so it is not directly an Android related issue. And yes, the images for my contacts that appeared suddenly without my consent, are the same as their Facebook profile images.
Got a Note!
You've managed to give me the information I needed and finally I bought a Note!
So far I have been able to confirm:
Synchronizing Smemo with Google Docs - works great, text remains text, while images are embeded in the document
Exporting contacts from Outlook to KIES worked "sort of", while exporting to Gmail and back to Note worked great. I have managed to retain all the information and even code page (I used ASCII, not Unicode) worked as expected.
Exporting calendar from Outlook to Gmail and back to Note worked almost perfectly (apart from some inconsistencies which were due to duplicate entries in Outlook)
As for contact photos, it seems that only those which originate from Facebook are added to contact data.

I got all my contact photos from way back, and those must have come through from Outlook -> Google -> Note as Outlook is the only constant source since I was first able to do this (with my Sony Clie)
Perhaps in my case Outlook photos would also have been added through Google, but I exported/imported them via a .csv file, which didn't retain photos, only text data.
My outlook contact photos sync perfectly.

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.

You Can!
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.
