Hi,
the topic says it all: I'm looking for an GTD (or ToDo) app, that can sync with web clients. There's shuffle that syncs with TRACKS, and astrid that syncs with RTM, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Is there anything else that syncs with webapps?

Have you tried ActionComplete yet? It has a web interface and apparently follows many GTD ideas.. Been a while since I did GTD, so I can't compare directly, but it works well for me as a todo list. I use it "wrong" though, and prioritize on dates vs urgencies, but it can sort or alert based on several different criteria.
Only thing that bugs me is you can't set a reminder in the web version, if you want a reminder you have to set it in the client. But you can do all of the work in the web client and then the reminder or tweaks from the client.
Thank you, AC looks quite good! I'll certainly try it and see if I like it better than Shuffle.
I use Got To Do, very nice interface, perfect syn with Toodledo! IMO much better (specially autosync!) than Astrid..

I have a mac and a ppc have been hunting around for sync apps, missing sync does a superb job of the contacts, calender and tasks, you can even do mail and avantgo but my big problem is notes, i cant find an app anywhere that allows you to writes notes on a mac and have them synced to the ppc.
I have an idea, does any of you know how to write a site for avantgo, if you could write an api much the same as avantblog but using it's own data source rather than blogger, it would then be possible to create a desktop widget for mac that can write to the datasource, I have tried using the blogger widget to add to the blog from dashboard, then adding my blog page as an rss page within avantgo, it works a treat apart from the lack of password, does anyone have an interest in this, i can make a widget but have no experience of avantgo or a domain for that matter.
Anyone interested? Email me if just to say your going to have a go on your own.

I have an HD2, and I was wondering if an app exists that functions like the calendar on Android?
I am looking for the ability to set multiple reminders for events, and the overall look and feel of the google calendar on Android devices. Thanks
up cause I'm still looking

You'll get the winmo calendar look and feel, but you can always sync your Google calendar via Activesync.

Pocket Informant does this (and more).
Moved as not software release.
I'm frustrated with the Samsung Galaxy S' calendar. My important appointments make a little low *bip* sound and that's about it. I tried to use Calendar Snooze, but I can't get it to work. Apparently you should be able to select snooze option from the Calendar app but it doesn't work because no such option is available on my phone. Changing the sounds in the phone settings makes no difference. Any ultra mega hacker who knows how to take control over the calendar notifications?
yes, this is a bug or not but a very tiresome. i need this knowledge too how can i change.
Mine uses the default notification sound.
Menu-> Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification ringtone, pick one.
I take that back. I used Calendar Notifier from Market to solve that specifically without rooting. You could also root and replace the TouchWiz calendar with the Android stock calendar.apk. the instructions, etc are here
when syncing with exchange, docs attached to meeting notices don't show up as downloadable like they do in email. Anyone know of a way around this or a Calendar alternative that does recoginize attachements embedded in calendar appointments?
nobody can share any insight on this?
since nobody responded to my question, just wanted to update and say that as of now the only work around i've found is to download the attachment(s) while the meeting notice is still an email (i.e. before you accept it so its added to your calendar). If anyone has a suggestion for a better way of handling embedded docs in calendar appointments, i'm all ears. Thanks.

Hi, on my business laptop with MS Windows and Outlook 2010 I use a tool named "Google Calendar Sync" to synchronize Outlook calender with my Google calender. Just search on Google for "Getting started with Google Calendar Sync".
Another way to get Outlook stuff synchronized with your Galaxy S is to use your Exchange account. But I don't want to use exchange on my Galaxy S because of battery drain. So this tool is a good compromise ;-)
Hi, here are my two cents: I'm using Touchdown for syncing my company MS Exchange account. It does download the meeting attachments when viewing mails/meeting notes, so this might help you out.
It is quite expensive (around 14 euro) but it is by far better than the stock exchange app and the support is perfect when mailing them. The other plus is that you can set whether you want to pull or push at certain times.
Having said that there are some downsides as well: the UI is (mildly said) very basic and its calendar looks like the programs from the 80s (but there are a few market calendar apps which one can use to view the meetings list)
Hmm.. I agree that this sounds pretty much like spamming but cross my heart: I'm just a happy Touchdown user (using some other apps as well to make my daily life organized) sharing my experience.
I hope that this answer your help call.
Cheers,
Rocky

Hey gang.
I'm asking an honest question.
I used to use a Winmo6 device to run my diary-centric business using Kerio Server for OTA sync of appointments and contacts with my office.
When I migrated to iPhone I knew I would sacrifice the winmo skin with one glance calendar, and might lose some calendar functionality. I've made do since then.
I'm due a new phone. I'm loathe to pay Apple even more money for old rope when I'm sacrificing basic functionality like Exchange Calendar Appointment Categories which no iPhone PIM or Calendar apps appear to support.
I've been playing with Android and found that Touchdown and Moxier both restore this feature to my mobile device.
But WinPho is by far and away the nicest Ui i've seen yet.
Unfortunately the store demo unit that I played with indicated that the calendar app does not allow exchange/outlook categories and the appstore support for third party solutions seems limited.
Can anyone comment on this from their own practical experience and advise me please.
I'd love to think WinPho can win me back, but so disappointed that only Android seems to allow this functionality with its more open system. I'm looking for a business solution, and the best the phone store salesman could offer was "all our smartphones allow you to use Facebook!"

This might flame the hard core WP users and trolls but from experience, I have a WP and it's nice; it works good and does what it is supposed but from what you just said I take it that you want actual Phone functionally like on WM or Android. Granted that Outlook is easy to use, it doesn't work quite like it did on WM for one you can kiss plugging it in and using Active Sync good buy because it is not available on WP7. As a matter of fact you can actually kiss about half of your functions that are available on WM. My advice stay with WM as long as you can. WP is not WM you will be at a total lost if you switch.
Here's a good reference of Active Sync abilities of each platform. Windows phone already does most of what people need, more will come with Apollo in Summer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Exchange_ActiveSync_Clients
Ignore Sinister as he knows nothing about exchange.
I actually admin our network and exchange 2010 for our company...
Here is a review that touches on some of the features
http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/windows-phone-7-5-mango-review/
It does pretty much everything windows mobile did with exchange + more. The only thing it doesn't do is on device encryption, and show multiple appointments on the lockscreen or live tile (it only shows next but if you click on the live tile it will go right to agenda view by default.
Also not the above post by the person above this shows the policies it suppports. You will note it says attachments no - that means that the admin can't block attachments, not that the email client cannot get it.
Thanks for that.
I'm in the position where, unless I see a feature in action for myself on a demo machine, I don't know if it is really the same thing.
Can someone WITH the device, who syncs an ojtlook calendar via exchange, advise me of the following...
In Outlook2007 I have 10 categories set up and colour coded to help me identify job origins for my subcontracting and to aid billing. I assign my calendar dates such a category.
With iOS cal, and previously Anxroid cal, I can sync exchange, and create appointments, but cannot see or assign categories which means I have to go back to Outlook2007 to fill in the gaps.
With Touchdown on Android I can now not onlt see the categories in Touchdown, but I can use them and assign them to events.
I am hoping that WinPho can also see, display and utilise these Outlook2007 event categories. Is that correct?
Wikipedia entry for Outlook Mobile confirms calendar categories support, but how complete is it?

Ok, tested this as i never use categories in exchange. It DOES NOT support the colors for categories.
This review was post no do from pocket now but also says the same as it is now.
"The Calendar is another place you'll probably spend a lot of time since it's important that your smartphone help manage your schedule. A great new feature is support for multiple calendars from different accounts such as Exchange, Windows Live, and Gmail. You can set a different color for each calendar account. Categories do not have their own colors like in Outlook on the desktop. You might also notice that there are only 3 calendar views; Day, Agenda, and Month. Week and Year views are gone. I never really used week view, so I won't miss it"
Now some argue they want week view but if you use exchange you no as well as i that you really can't read week view very well if you have a lot of appointments. Month view shows days you have appointments but they are too small to read and it's really just for seeing if you have anything going on that day and going to the day by clicking on it to read it in full. The agenda view though is great and it supports multiple calendars on the same view ( i have 2, hotmail that i use for personal and exchange). Now each of these are color coded and you choose the color. I think the category you saw was for the contacts and not the calendar. It does have the todo and in settings you can make your tasks show up in the calendar. I also tested categories in todo and it makes no difference. It does however allow you to show the tasks in the calendar if you go to settings and set it to show todo's.
I am thinking most built in apps do not show categories as touchdown was 3rd party.
It also supports out of office assistant and for meetings there is a quick i'm running late button that will send everyone in the meeting a message that you are running late for a meeting.
It also supports searching the GAL in your contacts "search outlook directory" if you don't have a contact locally.
Oh and for categories, i never used colors. instead i, myself usually make it part of the appointment like - Meeting with consumer - billable, or meeting with consumer - non-billable
Reason being in outlook you can search for everything with the word billable or non-billable for reference and it will display all of them as a list. (Nice for printing) with start and end time / date. i don't think that i know of you can show only certain categories. This may or may not work for you though. Just the way i do it.
If you have any other questions with exchange, i'd be glad to answer them truthfully.
oh btw at my office we use outlook 2010 and exchange 2010 so it's not the version of outlook you are using that doesn't do the categories. it's the phone.
I can't see any way to sync Tasks I set up in S-Planner with any other devices or cross platforms. I know that Google Tasks don't sync (shaking head in dismay at that one).
Any ideas?
** I've done some reading across the web and it seems that the consensus is S-Planner Tasks are PURELY LOCAL and cannot be cloud synced at all. Wow, just wow. Someone needs to call Samsung and remind them it is 2012.
For now I'll stick with ToodleDo unless someone knows a better solution. S-Planner Tasks is utterly useless (seriously, how does something like this even make it out the door???) I am guessing the guy in charge of S-Planner Tasks was also the guy who choose the obscure .snb extension for S-Note files.
There is. Sync your note using activesync to either office365 or hotmail (I have msn account) and it syncs tasks. The only minor thing you need to do is if you want to add a task to a group you have to change the task to be an s task add the group and change the task to office365 or hotmail.

Yes, that was all thoroughly explained in the manual that came with the tablet - not, lol
By Hotmail, I am assuming a Live account would work? Lemme look into it. Thanks.
** Can you please explain this in further detail? I'm lost.
Ok, I see.
So if i want to sync Tasks, I have to do it using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. I set this up in Settings and Accounts and Sync. ok, got that workings.
Now am a bit confused by the whole Groups thing. Within S-Planner there doesn't appear to be any way to add or edit Groups. can you walk me through all that?
Geesh what a convoluted mess this is. I think I would rather just stick with Toodledo - so much more robust.
** I just find it odd that there is no way to sync GOOGLE TASKS with S-PLANNER on an Android-based device. I mean, good lord. How hard can it be?

Yep.
I'm using syncin via exchange account and it works well. I'm not using Gapps so much, s it's not problem for me, but it's boring and annoying sure. S account works well with syncing task isn't?
I have a problem with syncing since 19th Oct...problem with syncing of Samsung account. Does anybody has the same problem?
