Basic calendar program?

Well basically I'm just looking for a extremely simple calendar program for my 8125 that acts just like a regular paper calendar would.
I'm looking for it to be a month view, then you click on a date in that month and enter in what you are doing/need to do that day just like you would writing on a regular calendar.
I'm not looking for any alarms, reminders, or anything like that.
So if anyone knows of anything, please let me know.

Isn't the calendar built into Windows Mobile good enough?

If it was, I wouldnt be asking now would I?
I'm looking for something way more basic than the one thats built into WM5.
I'm not a power user so I don't have a ton of things I want to put into the calendar.
This is all I want from a calendar:
Tap the date I want to put the note on.
Type in what it is I'm doing that day and what time it begins and ends manually. ie: Lunch with Lindsay @ 1:00, Dentist appointment @ 4:00
And save.
Is there anything like that, or can I get the one with WM5 to work like that?

you might want to check out spb diary - it's not as complex as some other alternatives,, and can do a lot of what you ask from the today screen...

I rather agree with PaulK_CMF, isn't the one in WM5 easy enough? What is so complex about the WM5 version? You click on the Calendar, you get different views, just go to the month view and you can see those days that you have/not events. Click on the specific date, you get the day view. Scroll up and down for the time you wanted to add the event, click and hold, New Appointment, give it a name, time. That's ALL! There is nothing POWER to it. If you think that is powerful, you should see the Informant Calendar. That is cool.
Or perhaps, you can tell us, of which part do you think it is complex?

Alright, well the WM5 calendar might not be powerful...but it's more than what I want.
Like I said I just want something very basic that I click on the date add what I want and save.
I don't want to put times, I don't want to make titles I don't want anything extra. I just want it to be just like a regular wall calendar. Only on my PDA...

What you're after might not exist. :?
Developers want to improve on what WM offers, not provide something that does less.

Yea, still not what I want. Thanks for the heads up though...
And bump this to the top for hope that something like this exists...

still looking for this program, if anyone knows of anything please post!

im in the same boat, everything ive tried has been too complicated for what it is, and i want something very similar to windows rainlender calendar app.
looks good, not a plugin, easy noting on a date, month view.

yep, that's exactly what i want...
it really can't be that hard to code a program like that if you're a programmer.
someone out there should make us one, haha...

Sounds like you want Google calendar, of course it's useless if you don't have a data plan but Google calendar works exactly like what you are saying.

Oh, http://www.google.com/calendar/m
The mobile version is not the same as the standard, thought I would throw that out there.

Yea, I've already tried google calendar and it's not bad on the PC, but I don't like the mobile version. Plus I'd like something that doesn't require being connected to the net since I would have to wait for it to connect, wait for the page to load and so on...
Thanks for recommending though...

Possible Alternative
I've been on the lookout for something very simple as well, though not quite this simple (Datebook+ on the Handspring Visor is my all time fave).
Here's an idea: there are many note taking apps that will display a thumbnail view of several notes at once. It might take some setup time, but you could use the text entry option, give each note a day or week in the larger collection (month) and then directly edit.
One example:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1251
Not the best option... but a thought. I'll keep my eye out for this one.

I always thought that IntumiCal was nice but overpriced (I'm a cheapskate). Now the company that was making IntumiCal is kerplop. Would it be possible/legal for someone to take the torch on as a opensource app (assuming they could get the source code)?

[App] Trillian beta for android

I searched this forum and did not find anything, so thought I'll create one.
Trillian for Android is out.
Best Android IM client I've used so far.
Nice features in short:
- chat tabs
- bubble conversation interface
- your account details are grouped and saved as an 'astra' account on their site.
- chats sent while you are offline are emailed to you

i've been using it and it's been great!

It force closes a lot when I multi-task back to it. I'm sending logs so I'm sure all the kinks will get worked out by the time it hits the market.

Yupe, look great love it
Love the interface also.

Looks promising, but there is no option to add a MSN messenger account.

I get the FC error when I switch back to it too.
Another think I hope they don't do is add ads to the free version.

I noticed that I don't get a notification (sound nor LED) after receiving a message, and I have to open the app then the notification will appear.
Anyone with the same problem?

I didn't have that problem, but I did have the force close issue.
Also I don't think it yet handles links... tried tapping on a link for half a minute, nothing happened

does the send IM via e-mail when in suspend work for you?
i am shown as online in the messenger, but i dont get the email with a new IM

Don't get your pannies in a bunch, it's a BETA.
Anyway, is there a way to remove IM to E-mail?

Tried the app today for a min, it is plain awful.

I can't even use it because I'm getting "wrong password" after registering and trying to login

no major issues on my end but it doesn't place nice with my messengers on my comp signing me out of FB and it not only wipes my WLM display pic(eBuddy also does this) but resets my theme
on the plus side it tells me when i contact is idle in WLM, something eBuddy doesn't do

and it changes your nickname for example my normal nickname qvert is too short for trillian account, if i changed it to something like qvert2 than it changes my nickname in my messenger networks to qvert2 too

It was a disappointment. I also uninstalled for the following reasons:
1) The push function to mail wasn't working on suspend mode.
2) The LED notification does not work.
3) fails to show notification for instant messages, have to open the app in order for notification to occur.
I know it's only beta but it just could not fulfill the basics of a IM chat client at the moment.

thankyou so much, i asked about ann app of this kind after using go sms and loving the contacts search style in that. top app, top quality dev team!

Does not have Facebook Pictures syncing. None of my contacts have pictures. I'd really like to use this APP, but that's a huge deal breaker for me until it is fixed.

That's a limitation of Android. Install photo unlocker from the market and it will fix the issue.

Are there other alternatives? I hope GO Contacts have a root version which unlocks photo.

cool, switched to go sms last night, just installed this. looks good. needs theming options

Congratulations! It's perfect!!!! I really love the possibility to merge accounts because I had problem syncing my nexus one with google server and it copied my contacts 3 or 4 times. Now it's perfect! The only problem is to click "Merge" on every duplicate .-.

its cool app.

Man everything the Go Dev team touches is awesome.....a theme for this would be perfect. Way cool

Happened to stumble across this. Looks and feels great. Will put it to the test!

YES!
I was just waiting for them to release an app like this! I never liked youlu and have been using the stock app.
Going to try this out now. I think I'm turning in to a Go! Fanboy. They just need someone to check their english

I really love your launcher and SMS application, but I stick with rocketdial for now...

It works great! It would be cool to have an optional skin to mimic the standard Gingerbread skin, tho... Right now it's too much iPhone-ish imho

Do we get the numbers to the cute chicks too? Really tho awesome replacement app.

Those contact pictures are from japanese pornz. lol

This looks promising.

It is a cool app to filter through contacts quickly
But then if I select one contact from the main list, I get the detailed view from the stock application.
Is this how the app is supposed to behave or do I have to change some settings?
By the way, after installation the app changes name from go contacts to go dialer

Another excellent app from GO team. I searched for a good contacts app alternative and I think I will stick with this. One important think missing only: support of other language letters in dialer. I'm interested for greek alphabet. If you plan to support this future, these are the letters:
Code:
--- ΑΒΓ ΔΕΖ
ΗΘΙ ΚΛΜ ΝΞΟ
ΠΡΣ ΤΥΦ ΧΨΩ
And if you plan to support localization, I can make the greek translation too.
Just let me know.

This app drains battery. I have been tracking it's behaviour for several hours via Watchdog Task Manager (refresh every minute) and it reported Go Contacts every 5-15 minutes. CPU usage was usually around 5-6%. Why is it running in the background in sleep mode?
Secondly, there is a bug with Go Dialer - sometimes (very, very often) clicking on the shortcut on the homescreen doesn't activate dialer. It's just not responding to touch. Then I have to re-add it to start working again. One more thing - the default icons are really ugly - it feels almost like iPhone, which is an awful thing for me. Uninstalled, but I'll keep watching the development.

im really liking this app....anyway to integrate Gosms into this?...that would be awsome!

Task'd - The Premiere To-Do List For Android™

Task'd is the premiere task manager and to-do list app for Android™ devices. It was designed with the user in mind to be beautiful, functional, and simple. The goal is to help you, the user, better manage your priorities and schedule.
The user interface is intuitive, with clearly marked and recognizable icons. Everything is right at your fingers, not hidden inside some obscure menu or tab. Editing a task is as simple as clicking it in the main list. Want to delete a task? Just long-press it and click delete.
Each task you create must have a name and a priority. Optionally, it can also have a due date and a description containing more details.
You can sort your tasks by priority (default), due date, order added, and alphabetically. You can also change the date format if you use a different standard than the default MM-DD-YYYY.
The full version of Task'd also includes a 4x1 homescreen widget that allows you to see all your tasks, or create a new one.
The free version will always remain one update behind the full version. Currently, it is only lacking the widget. Once the full version receives an update, the free version will get the widget, but not the new features. Bug fixes will still be rolled out as necessary.
Of course, the obligatory screenshots are attached at the end of the post. As for the QR codes with Market links:

Does it sync with google tasks?

Currently no, however sync with Google Tasks and proper Honeycomb support are the next two things on my list.

Really liking the look of this, am constantly on the lookout for a nicer task manager.
I love the simplistic approach and UI. One suggestion might be an option to turn off the custom font? It is pretty funky but a little overwhelming on the eyes when used everywhere..
Also like your idea of keeping the free version one behind the paid, an approach I haven't seen before Looking forward to see what the widget it like, if Im still using this in a couple of days will definitely get the pro version. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely add in an option for the custom font. I can't get rid of it everywhere (specifically the buttons) but the option will let you ditch it in the task list and the edit/create screen.
I believe I've only seen the free behind paid model one or two other times, and I really liked it. It lets users see what they're getting in its entirety, yet still give them an incentive to upgrade.

Is there a way to sync between two users? Like myself and my girlfriend are looking for a syncing task list so we can put to-dos for each other without any manual effort.

If you set up Google Tasks sync with the same email account in the app, then they'll sync between devices. You don't need to use the same Google account on the phone itself, or on other devices, only when you set up sync in Task'd. I'll be sure to update this post once I get it updated.

[APP][2.1-4.0+] Hourly Chime Ultimate

Hello,
I would like tell you about a little app I have co-developed. It's been on Google Play for some time now, but I wanted to make sure it's good enough before presenting it on this venerable forum
The name is: Hourly Chime Ultimate
Its goal is to turn your phone into a chime-playing clock.
There are several sound schemes to choose from:
a Casio watch
a cuckoo clock (striking the hour or just playing once an hour)
Big Ben (different chimes each quarter plus the clock striking the hour or just one chime once an hour)
phone's Text-to-Speech engine telling the time (still beta because of differences in TTS engines).
The chime can be played using as a ringer, multimedia or notification stream, so one can silence it when the ringer is silenced, or control the volume separately.
Some additional features that we already implemented (hopefully self-explanatory):
shake-to-silence
quiet hours
The plans are to provide more built-in chime sounds, as well as allow custom sounds and advanced configuration. Next versions will also feature silencing the chime when headset is detected.

i was looking for an app like this. i used to have it on my symbian phone. i tried this out and it worked at first. checked the option for it to be silent from 10pm to 5am. after that, it never notified me hourly anymore. it works when i try to test it.

We've had a number of reports like this, but it's really very hard to figure out what the actual problem is. The app works fine on most devices, but crashes periodically on some (Android 4+). It doesn't seem to be connected with the silent hours option though. All I can do is to ask you for some more patience. I'm really sorry for that...

good app.
installed it. and liked it a lot. thanks
