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)?

Beta of "free" version released to marketplace.
Allows you to send up to 7 messages a day, premium version beta coming in a few days with a release in about 2 weeks.
Grab the beta of the Chrome extension here: http://www.cloudtosms.com/files/cloudtosms-chrome-extension.crx
Feedback welcome

In case anyone is interested, this app is now in Beta and I will be releasing it to market soon.
Send and receive SMS messages from the website
All messages secured by SSL both ways
I will be making a Chrome plugin very soon so you don't need to browse to the website to send/receive.
http://www.cloudtosms.com/?page_id=15

This app has a ton of potential. Can't wait for that Chrome extension!

I could see this having a ton of uses. One being it could grab an entire group of contacts from your Gmail account (or export them from what ever place you prefer to store your contacts and import them directly to the online app -though kind of a concern issue for obvious security reasons). Then you could send bulk Txt's much easier than directly on the phone. It could even schedule them, etc. I frequently have to send out mass texts to different groups and it could save me a lot of time every week if it had those functions.
Feel free to PM me for brainstorming!

Thanks for the feedback.
Will definitely add "Groups" in a future version of the webapp.
I don't store any contacts on the server, its all handled by javascript on the client side (e.g. by your computers browser). If there are other contact sources that work like the Google Contacts API (e.g. allow un-cached display of contacts) I could attempt to add support.
Scheduling is an interesting idea and something to consider in future versions.
One thing to keep in mind is Google limit the amount of messages sent through C2DM, so bulk messages would only work to a certain point.

wonderful app, tons of potential. works perfectly on my spica running cm6.1 rc1. thanks rolf!

Very cool concept. I'll try it out shortly.

First release of the chrome extension is good to go. I haven't tested it on any PC's aside from my own so it might not work, please advise if you try it out:
http://www.cloudtosms.com/?page_id=15

nice man, keep it up

This is an awesome app!!! Runs fast and smooth on my Desire with Teppics pre-rooted stock rom.
Two things:
I would like to able to prevent the notification sound when sending messages. I thought I could turn it off in Settings but either I cannot understand the meaning of "Use notification sound" or the feature doesn't work ;-)
Also an option to prevent the status bar notification icon and notification entry would be nice.
Otherwise awesome!
[edit]
Oh! One more thing: The web page (https://cloudtosms.appspot.com/) seems to hang when fetching contacts (I have about 250 contacts)...
And of course Google Apps support would also be nice so that I don't have to manually export/import my contacts between two accounts.
[/edit]
./kroogar

AWESOME!
This is what I have been waiting for forever!
Chrome extension is awesome, would love a firefox one, too.
Even better would be a standalone app.
Also push ALL notifications from phone back to the cloud.
You would be truly amazing.

Cannot load page
This morning (as of right now) I cannot load the page https://cloudtosms.appspot.com in either Chrome or Firefox. It seems there is a piece of JavaScript that will not load. The page hangs until the browser complains. It's preventing me from logging in :-(
I'm using Chrome 9.0.570.0 and Firefox 3.6.12.
[edit]
Actually managed to get to the log in page by pressing the Sign in link as soon as the page starts loading. After log in the page still hangs trying to fetch my contacts...
[/edit]

I think this might be the pubnub servers being slow. I might cache their Javascript to fix this problem. Can you confirm if the problem is still occuring?
EDIT: this should be fixed now

the feedbak for this app is really good, but I still don't get what is this for. Maybe a short explanation would be a good idea.
Thanks!

Hmm... now nine hours after my attempt this morning I have conquered the snow and reached home - unfortunately just to realize the problem still occurs :-( In Chrome I'm already signed in and it just sits there fetching contacts. In Firefox I'm not signed in and problem is the same as described earlier.
I have not at any point been able to see my contacts on the web page. They do seem to be loaded just fine in the Chrome extension though...

Maybe you like a another icon? Today i created one... maybe you like it..
Let me know what you think about it

Hrm... Darn Javascript.
If you press ctrl+shift+j in Chrome or Forefox it will show the Javascript error console, does this show you any errors?
Does it work if you browse incognito?
If you want to email me kroogar to get instant responses please feel free (my username at gmail.com)
Sinas: it is a much cleaner icon, I will try it in the build and see how it looks

Installed and working with minimal fuss. Very impressed (currently using sms2pc)
However, despite refreshing the chrome tab only 361 of my 500+ contacts appear. Same happens through the webpage. Happy to help test larger contact lists if it helps
Super job so far.

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.

What's better than the S-planner?

Do you guys use the stock S-planner? Or is there a better Calendar app for the Galaxy Note? Or is the S planner enough for you guys?

I like the S-Palnner, but I'm using 240 DPI. Does not look nice.
Zhe best calendar app, for my oppinion, is "Business Calendar". The colors are not my favourite ones, but the functionality is very nice.

CalenGoo is great. I've tried them all and this is my favourite for work use.

With the S-Planner, I can create and move appointments with the stylus quickly and easily.

I use Jotre because I like the widget, but then again I don't have a very demanding schedule...

I tried Business planner, S Planner, Jotre and a few others.
CalenGoo to me was the best. Very clean interface, no bizarre color schemes. The recurring schedule options are the best IMO, and that is the core of Calendar options. Unfortunately it costs a few bucks. But Calendar apps and Contact apps are to me, the most important part of the core of the smartphone. Everybody has their own priorities, but Calendar was at the very top for me, and I chose CalenGoo.

Out of curiosity, now that the note has been in the hands of quite a few for a while, who sticks with the S-planner?
And why? What advantage does the S-planner have over other calendar apps? (aside from it being free)
To those who switched, why did you guys switch?
What did the other calendar apps do that the S-planner didn't do, or did not do as well?

Im using pocketinformant
Apart from it being the best i can set my working week to start on saturday and it integrates with google tasks and toodledo

The developer is responsive too

To those who have used S-Planner, Calengoo, and Business Calendar, which of the three do you guys prefer? And are they worth the price?

I purchased those two on my other device but used s-memo on note because of the looks of it. However, am using calengoo now. Business calendar is as good only not as customizable.
If i have to choose one: calengoo
Buy one. Worth the price.

S Planner has a weakness that it can not sync outlook Tasks. Why such a device like Note dosn't have a simple thing when Windows Mobile phones do?

I love Pocket Informant because it syncs with Toodledo. It is a pain to categorize, arrange and edit Task in Google Calendar website.
I actually like the interface for S-Planner, but not using it unless it support Toodledo or heck even Google Task!

I replaced it with "calendar droid".
i mostly use the week view.
i mainly bought the note to see the whole week on the screen... but scroling up and down just wasnt an option for me.
the whole day events take to much screen resolution, showing only 8 hours of a day on such a big screen is a design fail. the title of the event can barely show 5 letters...
the month view where you need to scrool this 1,5 line of the details in the bottom is painfull...

Any good calendar apps that can SAFELY sync with google account?

I think the default calendar app is horible to view on.
I use to have an S4 and Samsung had a good caldendar App, even when you view things on a monthly view the S4 was able to list certain things on each day. And swipe up/down to the next month
Is there anything like that for the moto X or from the App store?
I want it to synch to my google account but im cautious on allowing 3rd party apps knowing my gmail password to sync to my google calendar.
Any ideas?

Calengoo -- it is the perfect calendar app.

In my opinion most calendar apps are pretty bad from a UI standpoint. Try Today Calendar. Unlike other calendar apps, this one is based off the stock calendar and has added functionality with an improved UI. It also has a month view with the daily agenda under it.

I really like sunrise as well

I use SolCalendar it syncs well with Google, looks decent and allows the use of icons for appointments. Don't forget to disable the Google calendar app from settings once you switch to avoid double notifications.

So all these apps that can sync with google account and ask for you to login to your gmail through their app, how safe is it really? Are you now depending on that company / app to keep your password safe?

I have but some of the apps don't ask for a login rather just automatically sync to your google account (given permission on install I guess when you click accept). I tried to go to settings and it seems only on or off no way to secure it.

I use Cal: Any.do, is simple but usefull

I use Business Calendar Pro. Tried the apps mentioned here but they weren't very good with lots of appointments and adding lots of appointments.

None of these companies ever get your password. They receive a unique token from google that gives them authorization. You can go into your google account settings and revoke tokens at any time.

Just to throw another in: I like Jorte the most. It has a nice Widget, and is able to show you a lot information about your day even in monthly view. It is highly customisable, too. You can sync to your google calendar but i don't know about any security issues.
