hi there well i work every night at 12am til whenever as a part time job while i continue my education during the day. well this company is known to mess up your hours. i know i can easily write them down in the notes or the calendar but i never know when my job is done so i gotta always write down something differet and i wanted to see if theres an app or if someone can create an app where its like a calandar type of app but with an 8th row after the Saturday (or sunday. whichever way they wanna end the week) that is like a total row that automatically adds up how many hours you work that week so you have quick and instant access to your hours in case you need to access them quickly. so is there an app like that or can someone pretty please make such an app? a widget doesnt have to be necessary but it could like make it sweeter

I just looked up "timesheet" in the market and myTimeSheet and Time Recording - Timesheet both look pretty good. I (obviously) can't vouch for either of them, but there were 22 results just for timesheet.
i use timeclock by spotlight six, it was a buck or two i think but its pretty slick and worth it, you can email full time logs in csv format, set up clients, set up locations, manual data and time edits
If you like i can write you up a quick one in the app inventor i'd love a reason to test it out more pm me if you would be intrested i can certainly talor it to your liking if you cant find one in the market to suit your needs.
I've been using Time Recording from the market for a month and I love it! It let me enter my pay rate per hour so I know how much I make before taxes and it calculates the hours per day, week, and month I work. Try it.

This may be a goofy questions, but do the tasks from Gmail get synched to our phones?
I setup about 50 last night and non of them have made their way to my calander, and there doesn't seem to be a native task app.
Yeah it's kinda buggy with that. I tried Astrid, and it syncs it and allows you to make notifications and stuff. But this also was buggy as i couldn't figure out how to get it to sleep (it kept waking me up in the middle of the nite to remind me to do things.
gtasks
Try this. I've been using it for a while. It works but you have to manually sync.

Going to develop my own.
I am going to start work tonight on my own Task Sync program. Seems like all the ones out there aren't quite right for me.
I have been trying to think of something useful to write for the phone and try my hand at it. Low and behold it bit me in the rear with this one.
It seems like the Google Calander API is realtivly simple.
But-
This will take several weeks seeing as how I have very limited time resources. I am sure someone will ask to beta, thats cool. If you want it, I will PM you with a Link.
Don't expect anything pretty, I am a function person, I don't care what it looks like as long as it works and works well.
EDIT:
Oh and keeping the spirit of the phone alive (something our carriers have not done) I'll make the source open.
I use the mobile website, it is pretty good (http://mail.google.com/tasks) in your Android browser.

i'll take a shot at beta testing if you'd like. i've tried gTasks and it wasn't for me... and i don't really care that much for Astrid.

I am just now sitting down and getting the project started. I have this thread bookmarked so I can remember who wants to try it out. Should have something at least operable by tonight if it is as simple as it looks...i hate Java forms. .Net is so nice about those.
beta tester
I'll beta test foe you as I'm always looking for a better to do app.
I have been using gTasks -beta. Works good for me.

I just wanted to share with all of you a fantastic app called Glympse.
It is free and very useful.
It allows you to send a link to a map that tracks your location. You choose how long the link is active for and whether it displays your speed.
So, for example, if you are on your way to a friends and they txt you asking where you are and when you'll arrive... you can send them a link that is only active for 30 min (or how ever long you wish) and they can track you on their computer or smartphone.
This is better then Latitude because it works with all phones, all addresses (email or sms), and is temporary. Check out their website for a better explanation of the app.
I love it... you might too. Give it a shot and support a great dev.

pretty neat, thanks for sharing
Hate to bump up a super old thread however I think this needs some re-hashing on how great this app is.
I've been fighting to find a decent real time GPS tracker for quite a while. Each one I find has some sort of obnoxious limitation that drives me insane. Google Latitude was one of the ones I thought for sure would be a home run, except.. it wasn't. I mean, it works great, don't get me wrong... but it's a little ridiculous that I have ZERO configurable options to enable GPS to run even in the background. Nearly every other app I've used does. Not even the option to have GPS "check in" every 10 minutes? Really?
That said, I moved on, and now have been using Glympse. Super handy, super accurate, and doesn't require a specific kind of email address. Makes it that much more cross-compatible and less of a headache. "Oh, you need a Gmail address, just go register for one quick." None of that.
Overall, it's a must to at least have installed. I find it much easier to just Glympse a family member my location so they know when I'm getting home. Recently I would have had a huge use for this as we got hit with some nasty floods. I was driving for many hours to find other roads that were not closed. It would have been nice to have had this just so family members knew I was still on the move and still on my way home.
Anyway, check it out. I'm a fan.
VIBRALERT - Cyanogen-style vibrating alerts for any rooted phone
A simple app that vibrates your phone when a call's status changes, similar to the way its done in Cyanogen Mod.
Vibration type can be customized for each alert - pulse length, strength, repeats and all. You also get a nifty minute timer that can alert you during expensive calls!
NEEDS ROOT - BELIEVE IT
Features:
Currently the following alerts are supported:
- In call minute timer
- Outgoing call answered
- Incoming call answered
- Outgoing call failed
- Active call ended
If you have more ideas, or something isn't working, please write to us before leaving a review!
Screens:
Lite Market link - works for 12 hours until reboot
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.vibralert.lite&feature=search_result
1.0.2.5
Extended Demo to 12 hours
Some tweaks to UI
1.0.2
Added minute timer - allows you to monitor the length of a call. Useful when calling expensive numbers.
Hi everyone! Could we please get some feedback on the release?
I was wondering if this feature is already built into CM7. I'm using infin1ty right now and it seems not to have the feature but I'll try it out.
Im not sure - but from what i remember its not as powerful as our little app.
Just for ****s and giggles, where in CM settings are the vibrate options?
Found them, not very configurable!
Cool beans. I also notice the trial period is a bit short. Any changes in that?
Ever since i let go of my winmo htc touch pro and moved onto the Atrix, have been looking for an app like this. working just as expected, only made two calls tho. but still. great job!
one suggestion, hopefully it isnt too nit-picky but an option to change the delay between vibrations would be awesome for some added customization.
Sure thing, I'll add the delay customisation shortly.
Regarding the trial period - just how much time do you need?
Regarding the trial period - why would you need any more than 3 hours to test this? So you can uninstall it once a week and avoid paying $1?
It either works or doesnt. You either need it or not. Apparently its only a free ride thats worth 5 stars.

Maybe they wanne see how it works when not paying attention to it.
and if someone doesnt get a call within 3 hours.
Test failes.
Maybe. Or they could just ask their mom to call them back. If not, they can always reinstall.
The app provides very simple functionality and 3 hours is more than enough to test it.
Anyway, whatever. You dont like it, you can flash CM and enjoy lots of testing there.

i personally dont care for the function..
i'm just saying that i can imagine why he asked for it.
Sure, but as a dev with some experience in customer relations, i despair when someone gives an app a 3 star review and negative comment because of such an issue. Only to then buy the full version because they are apparently satisfied with testing...
If i made it 5 hours, people with no mates to call them back for testing purposes would still whine that its too short. Remember - there are thousands of far more complex applications on sale that only give you 45 minutes or an hour!
People just love to complain... like you for example - you dont need the functionality, but youre still here complaining.
No offense, of course, just saying.

No. I downloaded the app pretty late and I didn't realize the app had 3hrs demo period. I had no one to try this out with. I really don't have any problem buying applications from the market. I love supporting the devs, so please don't jump to conclusion. Thanks for your time.
Allright. Why not just download it again?
OK, i will be changing the demo length to 12 hours. That should be more than enough!
Also, can i get some feedback on the latest build with the call timer feature?
Updated with a few tweaks and some love (12 hours now, instead of 3).
Any issues with the new build? I would appreciate some feedback or suggestions!
Comments, suggestions?
I'm looking for a free gtd app that will let me easily specify custom recurrences. For instance, after trying several apps I can only specify recurrences for every day, every week, every month, etc. I found doit.im that let's me specify every 2 days or 3 days or whatever number I enter but the app seems a tad clunky. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Anybody know
of a good one that has a widget and allows for recurring tasks that I can schedule for every other day and every three days etc?
I have Astrid, maybe it allows for that and i'm just not figuring it out. Thanks for suggestions.

Ok, im a nincompoop. I figured out how to use Astrid to specify every other day tasks. Anybody know if there is a way to only show on the widget what is due today?
EDIT:: lmao! I spoke too soon again.I found the 'hide until' option in Astrid. Mods, feel free to close/delete this sorry excuse of a topic my sorry.

Hi all,
Lots of threads on calendars out there but none address what I'm after.
Very specifically, I want an app/widget that allows me to show the next 7 days of my calendar graphically (note, next seven days not current week like some do) on my homescreen. I want it to be large enough that I can easily read the events on each day without having to click anything. It must not have any creepy permissions like some calendars I've looked at.
It seems so simple to me but none of the calendar things I've looked at so far let me do this!
The aCalendar widget comes close but the writing within each day is too small to read and it does current week not next seven days (ie if you are at the end of the week it shows the six previous days which is not useful!). The default calendar widget is pretty slick but it only shows the agenda as text, I can't just look and instantly see that a certain event is x amount of days from now. I've tried lots of others too but either they can't do what I want or I just haven't figured out how.
Yep so let me know if there is anything you might think will suit me. I don't mind paying if its reeeally good.
Thanks in advance.
