If you're looking for a home screen widget I like Android Agenda Widget. I can add Custom(My Calendar), Gmail, US Holidays, or Email Account calendars. Plus it comes with different options for the sizes (2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 3x1, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4) and you can customize the look of it. I have my launcher set with 3 screens and the widget set at 4x4 with no top or bottom toolbars on a side screen so I can scroll over and look at the calendar and then scroll back to my home screen. Fills the screen nicely.
I like CalWidget myself.
I like smooth calendar widget, it's real simple/plain.

[Q] Gmail notifications & No.LED app

Could someone tell me why notifications for gmail no longer work for 3rd party apps (ie launcher pro/adw/go launcher etc) but No.LED gets notifications? I know its to do with a security change in gmail but could a solution be applied like the way No.LED gets their notifications to rectify any 3rd party apps missing their notifications.

[Q] Weather updates not working - and Samsung Helpdesk can't help either!

Ok I'm running a stock Gear with Galaxy S3 LTE 4.3 And Accuweather HD widget and Accuweather app. Both are set to the same cities, home, New York and Gilbert AZ which I use for work. The home city is updating hourly as per Gear Manager settings.
However the watch is not updating either NewYork or Gilbert, plus Los Angeles which is not even on the Accuweather app! All these cities show last update of 12th Jan and do not do anything. Samsung hd in the UK haven't got a clue; furthermore they don't even have a Gear to replicate the issue!
Can any one help get these subsidiary cities to update? I've restored, rebooted and wiped all the apps and gear. Nothing.
Live and learn. I never knew you could scroll left and right on the weather to see additional cities. What you're having trouble with does work on mine. Although, as I'm typing, the geo-located city won't update and still shows an earlier time than the non-geo-located cities.
Are you using the Samsung weather app? Third party apps, even those sourcing from Accuweather, have no impact on what's shown on the Gear. There are two places on your phone to adjust the weather on your Gear. The Samsung Weather widget (clock) and on the lock screen when you drag down the clock to expose the weather and agenda. Third party apps, even by Accuweather, have no impact on the Gear's weather display.
If you click on the Weather Widget on your home page...
This pops up...
It's where you can control the weather the Gear sees. It and the lock screen pull down are also where you go to refresh the weather on the Gear if it's out of date. And if it is out of date it's not because of the Gear it's because Samsung's Weather app failed to refresh when you set it to. You'll notice that the update time on the Gear is always the update time from the Samsung Weather app.
P.S. - I don't use the Samsung Weather widget. So when I need to access it I'll delete a widget like Flipboard that's the same size and place it there while I'm working on it. I delete it when I'm done and put Flipboard back.

Thank you! Actually I don't have the Samsung weather running on lock screen, the S3 I have only allows clock and custom message. And the widget isn't shown either. So....what I did was to download the S3 weather shortcut app from playstore and BINGO! I have the cities all there! So now I can update the settings,and hopefully the Gear will also update!
I am trying to get as much out of the Gear without rooting and this is the last major problem I faced. So thank you again!
All working 100% so thank you again!
you can get a five day forecast for any city added to your Gear if you tap on its initial location. Swipe to go back.

And thank you. I downloaded a shortcut creator from Play and created a link like yours for the S3 to the Samsung Weather app so I'd don't have to swap widgets to access it. And the shortcut stays even after removing the app (I hate keeping one-off apps installed).

Me too. I have created a folder on the S3 home page called Gear Apps which contains the shortcut and other apps like Gear Manager and Tablet Talk. Makes it easy to access the specific apps I need for the Gear.
I may well attempt to root for full internet access via Bluetooth tethering when the Gear 2 comes out and this becomes surplus. At the moment I'm just having fun trying to push stock to it's limits!
One other question, that you or someone may be able to answer.... I have no contact names showing only numbers in tablet talk messaging. I have a .vcf file of all the contacts from my 'phone. Which folder should this go in on the Gear to ensure all the numbers receive the contact names? I can transfer using Wondershare MobileGo. Thank you!

Flipboard briefing widget on launcher stock

Hi guys,
do you know how can I activate Briefing on launcher stock (Android 9)?
After installing I can't find any options about it, neither as a stand alone widget nor as a replacement of Google feed.
Thanks
