Hi devs, I got a (hopefully) simple request for you guys. I'm attempting to do a bit of weightloss right now, and have a whole homescreen dedicated to it (like 3 apps, lol)
What I would really love to see is a widget (like 3x4) that shows me a line graph that has current weight as the y axis, and day as the x axis. Would be great to sync it to a calander, so every month, it auto-resets the widget to a new set of 30/31 days.
Finally, when you click on the widget, maybe be able to see your total progress since you started, and a field to input that days results?
I hope none of that is too hard. I am no programmer, so while I don't think it looks to difficult, I have no clue.

Has anyone found a solution to have more upcoming events visible on the TouchFlo3D home-screen? Below the clock is only one, or sometimes 2 items visible. I'd like to have more, like possible in Today-agenda, or similar.
I allready installed second-today, with today agenda. Which works ok-ish, but it asks for an extra click etc. Wouldn't it be nice to have the option to have more upcoming events integrated in the normal TouchFlo3D screens?

This has been asked quite often in the past months and no one was able to provide a solution yet. At least not for the Touch Pro.
this is real annoying... you would think it would be some simple registry edit...
i have the same problem and few others. on my tilt i have about a week of notification, i mean that the the item is displayed on the today screen for like a week. on pro its only 1 day. and the last one is when i click on calendar from the tf 3d screen, it always goes to day view and not month. i already changed the calendar options for month view. what should i do?

Hmmm, too bad? Or yet another impulse for renewed searching for a solution? Even the TyTnII I had before the Touch Pro had more items in sight. And one'd assume it's a registry setting somewhere. Anyone with good insight in that?
If your own the "home" screen and slide your finger from the bottom to the top of the screen the clock will become smaller and it will show more appointments.

If I slide the clock up to make it smaller on the "Today" screen I do get the smaller clock but still just the 1st cal. event of the day and no others, even on days with 5-6 meetings set. I wish this were the case for me. It seems like the intended function for this smaller clcok view. I liked the WM Today view with the Cal. events on the Today screen but like the TF3D too much to give it up because of this Cal. issue.
Let me apologize in advance for this first post in this thread, I didn't want to create a bunch of separate threads for my opinion and experience with the G Tablet, and I didn't want a bunch of threads about my uses for the tablet and the apps I use. So instead, I'll first ask the original topic and then I'll give you some information about how I use the tablet and the widgets/apps/etc. that I use. Hopefully someone from Google will find this insightful, because I think my setup could be a great generic "spring board" for anyone who wanted to use this tablet for taking notes on images, and personalize it to their needs.
What are your favorite widgets?
Does anyone know of some widgets that do the following (screenshots are greatly appreciated as well!):
- I wouldn't mind a news reader that displayed more than just the first line of the news article and/or title. Currently I am using Express News, but it only does one line... it's better than the others I've tested, but it doesn't even automatically scroll the news. You have to tap left/right to make it change.
- Is there some weather widget that perhaps does 5 or 7 day forecasts ? I'm using Fancy Widgets right now, it says the temperature, the high and low, and the time. I dont really need the time, not a big deal since it already says it on the top right.
- I wouldn't mind a task management widget, a decent sized one would be nice.
Some other thoughts:
With the new G Tablet I got yesterday, I've quickly discovered the screen is quite HUGE (obviously). I have a Evo 4G, rooted since the day I got it, and I've got some favorite apps. But being a tablet, it has some different purposes that it works better at, than a phone.
For instance, as a bathroom reader, the tablet works great. The phone is kind of small, hard to read a lot at a time, constant scrolling, etc. The tablet also makes playing games like Slice It, a lot more fun.
I'm a web developer and manager of a small team, so sometimes it's nice to be able to take screenshots of a site we're working on and add arrows and notes to it - the best solution I've found that lets you load images and write on them and save it, is called "Pocket Sketchbook Pro" - and it switches to landscape mode automatically THANK GOD! Honestly, one of the main reasons I bought a tablet is because I wanted to be able to sketch things on a "near" paper sized display, and then immediately share it via Bluetooth to my computer or Email it or print it. My printer is a HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus, my point in telling you that is because it has its own email address. If I email my printer, it will print the email & attachment I send it. Very useful when I'm out with a client and I want to print off my notes or mockups, etc. so that I have it waiting for me when I get back.
Forgot to mention that I'm using Toshiba Home Launcher, on my phone I use LauncherPro (paid version) and I love both. They've both got their benefits, Toshiba Launcher is just amazing on a tablet. Vegan 5.1 Beta.
One of my few complaints (other than many apps not switching to landscape mode..) is that when I'm holding the tablet in portrait mode, sometimes my screen will turn off. I guess the power button is receiving enough weight/pressure on it that it's going off. And then sometimes it will reboot on me when I go to wake it up! How annoying is that?! I know that I could just switch the tablet upside down.. but I should be able to hold it any way I want.
Oh, and the Rain-X idea was great. Definitely fewer finger prints and my fingers seem to glide across the screen now.
Also, Multi Picture Live Wallpaper is great.. I was getting tired of seeing the scrunched/weirdly resized wallpapers!
Lastly, Dolphin HD with a few addons = awesome. Web2PDF so I can email the PDF to my printer, Screen cropper which lets me save as an image so I can write notes on it with Pocket Sketchbook Pro, and the Blue Theme make it really awesome.
Weather Widget
Weather forecast widget is free, but the text is too crumped together and the 4x1 just doesn't look right.
Then I tried "weather widgets", but it kind of sucked.
Then I found out that Fancy Widget has a Pro version which does what I need for $1.99 - works great.
Task Widget
Taskos looked very promising, as it syncs with Google Tasks and offers a 4x4 widget on the home screen - something I was excited about. What killed my excitement was placing the widget on my home screen and finding out that - yeah it's 4x4 alright, with only 2x2 actually having any freaking content!! The rest of it was black! On the phone it looks correct, so this is definitely a tablet issue. That sucks hard.
So finally I found one that actually works, it's called Ultimate To-Do List, the licensed version is $5 and it syncs with ToodleDo which costs $14.95/yr and up (if you require subtasks like me).
I haven't done any digging yet on a good news widget. With almost 100 page views I'm surprised nobody has any widgets they recommend
Scrollable news widget and a home launcher that allows you to change the number of rows and columns on your screen. I have mine set to 10 columns and 7 rows and I can make my news widget as large as I want and it will fill the Widgets space
Oh and springpad is one of the best to do lists ever with a very nice expandable widget as well

LauncherPro lets you set your own # col/row and you can drag widgets to resize them on the screen, but I like the Toshiba launcher more because of the nice scrollable application list and they way they cleaned it up and put it at the bottom even though it's landscape mode - I love it. I can live with the defined # of cols/rows and screens, thats not a big deal. I know I'm limiting myself to just the widgets that exist that can take advantage of the tablet's size, but there has to be SOMETHING out there by now, right?

Hmm I will check that out, thanks
For weather related Widgets I recommend this app:
Palmary weather app. Tried to paste the appbrain link here but my GTab wont let me!
I really like Sense 3.5, apart from the way the calendar shows there's an event on a day in the month view.
In Sense 3 the monthly view has a little column which has a different colour where you have an event. I find this really useful as it gives you an idea of roughly when your event is, and you can easily tell all-day events from other events etc. But in Sense 3.5 there's just a little triangle in the top right hand corner to indicate an event.
Does anyone know if it's in any way possible to get the Sense 3 way of showing events ported to Sense 3.5?
I find the little triangle in the corner rather annoying as I still have to click on that day to see what event it is and when, whereas with the little column I can easily see my shifts etc which I have entered into my calendar.
Thanks,
Lola_79
I second the missing part. Feels like a set-back from at least seeing when during the day I have an appointment...
Anyone?
I agree too. But it seems that currently there is no way to fix this. Maybe some of the custom roms will allow it?
hi all!
i know there are plenty of threads on this topic but they are either very old or miss the mark.
i am looking for a small (1x1) timer widget where i can preset a length (like 30 mins) tap the widget and the timer starts. and preferably i can have multiple widgets for different lengths.
something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.gira.widget.countdown but for minutes instead of days if you will. the closest i could find is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mta.countdown but here a tap on the widget still only opens up the timer and i have to dial in what i need before i can start it...
thank you very much for reading
kind regards
edit: i just found this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shreyasr.quicktimer and thats pretty close to what i want but i'd rather not have a 4x1 widget with a bunch of timers on it i dont need or want if possible
WOW! This watch has some getting use-to going on. I am trying to figure out how to get my calendar to be like it was pre-watch4. They used to show the whole month and you could see previous months or skip forward months. The watch4 only gives me a 5-day viewing OR daily option.
Am I missing something?
Yeah I'm curious about this as well
When you press calendar next to the six dots buttons that takes you to the next six days, that good he's you a monthly view

I am having the same annoyance. And each day, it annoys me more (I didn't realize how much I used it until it was gone).
There is no calendar tile. On previous watches, there was a simple calendar tile, I always made it the first one. It was perfect for a quick glance to see what day something is. From what I can tell, it is completely missing.
I don't even know what can add new tiles beyond the (mostly junk) ones that are available with "+".
I don't want an "app", which requires swiping up, then scrolling down, then selecting it, then clicking through two other screens to get to a month view of a calendar. I don't care about events or reminders.... the purpose of the calendar tile was just a fast and simple month view of a calendar.
I saw a Samsung thread with the same complaints and yet no replies. So I am guessing this was an oversight, somehow. I am using Watchmaker, but I didn't see any option for a calendar complication. Sigh.
