Hey guys I've been looking around for a calendar app that actually has all the holidays listed on it. The stock calendar is basically just a blank agenda and being as absent minded as I am I can't ever remember when holidays are coming up or what day it actually is. I've looked through the marketplace and have searched for alternative calendars and cannot find one.
If you go into the google calendar on PC you can add additional calendar that will add the holidays for your country. If not, the Jorte calendar app is nice alternative which would fulfill what you are looking for.

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 All,
Is there and Android native app that syncs your exchange calendar with your google calendar...
Like Moxier, Touchdown, etc. are all fine, but they have their own calendars - I just want one calendar with everything (in this case, my google calendar)...
Yeah, I know there are desktop apps, but these are useless if you're on the road for weeks and only carrying your beloved Android phone...
Thanks!
Thought I'd answer my own question since no one else could... That way, if anyone else wants an answer to the same question, here it is...
Yes - 2.2 gives you exchange calendar sync, so all your appointments appear on the one android calendar. Nice - no need for Moxier, Touchdown or anything, and I only have to look at one calendar to find out my schedule, not 3...
Hi XDA,
Long time lurker, first time poster
For while now I'm looking for an app that gives me calendar reminders. I have two calendars set-up on my android phone, 1 MS Exchange calendar (work) and 1 google calendar (personal). I'd like to get sound notifications for my personal calendar only, not for the work calendar. I like my work-calendar in my phone just so I can check what's up in my spare time, I get reminders @ the workplace via my PC.
The way I see android work is that either I get notifications for ALL calendars, or I get none. I'd like to get all notifications for one specific calendar.
I'd like an app that integrates, aka I don't want to make new calendar-entries specifically for the seperate notification. I'd like the app to look at my google calendar.
I've been looking for this kind of app for quite a while now, I'd really like it!
I have the Google Calendar planner widget on multiple devices. It only shows items coming up in the next couple of weeks, regardless of how many items are entered in the future. How do I get it to show, and scroll beyond this to show all future events?
Is there a better app widget that will sync to my Google calendar?

Anyone?
Am I asking in the best place?
I prefer Jorte, the widget is much better and it syncs with Google Calendar just fine.

Will try it.
