Task manager with visible recurring tasks - Android Apps and Games

I'm using gtasks as my to do list /task manager.
The look suits me fine and I particularly like the way I can edit what lists are visible in the all tab that gives me an agenda like breakdown of my tasks.
My biggest problems with gtasks are iffy syncing and invisible recurring tasks.
I think the syncing problem has been resolved in the last update. But I did manage to lose a couple of important tasks in the process.
Invisible recurring tasks are another headache for me since I can't see the recurring task till it's next due date. I have double payed bills a few times because of this.
Please recommend me a good replacement task manager that can do all of the above instead of me trying each one out myself.

I tried any do and I actually liked it. Good looking app too. My issue however is that it tags every item with a date. I have a list group called "information" that is actually a list of important numbers like drivers license, passport, cc, etc that contains no dates and is hidden from the all tab in gtasks that shows tasks by date.
If I could do this in any do id use it.

Calendar Help

Can I set appointments to happen weekly and more than one day a week without having to create a new event for each day?
For example if i want to set my class for monday, wednesday, friday at 10 am every week, do i have to make one for each day and set it to weekly? So far that seems to be the only way i can do it which seems odd since even my dumb phones could do more than that.
Can anyone help me?

Try "Gemini Calendar" app on the app store. In the option for repeat appointment, you can choose "By days of week" and then select the days.
Will I be able connect that with my normal calendar? I like the look of it better.
Yes, it works with your normal calendar that you use with calendar app.

When you say they work together do you mean in the sense that if i were to put an event in the gemini calendar it shows up in the android calendar?
I'm looking for a way to incorporate the choosing multiple days function into the normal android calendar. Is there a way to choose or add the gemini calendar in the normal calendar?

I use Gemini calendar as it has a better widget and it allows me to click links for numbers and uRLS. it uses the same database as the stock calendar, so the always see the same data.
You should be able to create anything in Gemini and see it in the stock calendar. It is not its own calendar separate from everything else.
Okay now I Have another question? Is there any way to add multiple calendars the are offline and require no synching? I would like to color code my personal, school, and work but seems like the only way to do that is to other synching account such as exchange or gmail.

Serious calendar app

I synchronize my calendar through Activesync. I have been trying to modify some appointments (Change the time or just move them from one day to another). It seems the only option I have is to delete the appointment
Needless to say that it is not acceptable for a professional phone / tablet...
Am I doing it wrong, or if not is there a real Calendar app available somewhere ? (I guess Touchdown one works but I don't really like the look of Touchdown and was wodnering if there is anything else)
Have you looked at Pocket Informant?
It's in beta right now and available in the market...
Agree, i cant find a calender that suits me either...
Jorte (market app) is pretty nice. I like the widgets, too. It can definitely edit events, but then I though that should work with every calendar. Never used activesync, though.
PS: only minor downside is the sometimes rough English (clearly not native speaker), but it did get a lot better with updates.

Good idea thanks. I was using it on WM before Microsoft improved theirs
Honestly with Android I feel the same as I did when i started with WM and before MSFT improved it: too many extra apps to install to ahve a decent system...
I'm using PI. I like better than stock.
It has tasks integrated plus I had to get away from the wood theme

I don't believe that PI has any direct interaction w/ Exchange but rather it mirrors the native android calendar for the sync'd data and offers a better UI to manage the data.
I guess Touchdown solves both the calendar and the contact apps...
However it's ugly too...

I have used Pocket Informant from Webis for years on my pocket pc, then switched to there App for the Itouch and now I am running it on my Tab. It works great and is currently in beta for free it is worth a look.

Have you tried Business Calendar. It's still in beta, but very pretty. Has a nice widget that shows you your next 3 appointments, and then month/week/day view for all your calendars combined.

Exchange Calendar sync

Hi All
I have my note 10.1 for a week and i am very happy except for one annoying problem.
I use it for work with exchange sync. I noticed that any event i create in Splanner is not synced with exchange server. However from the server to device everything works. I can send and receive emails without a problem.
I have a note 5.3 as well and it works perfect.
Anyone has any experience or ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
One of my accounts thru the stock email is an exchange and the calender syncs properly both ways(outlook to tab and tab to outlook).
Make sure when you enter an item in the planner/cal on the tablet the first box on top of the new appt item is a list of the accts or a Dropdown box. Make sure you are choosing the one that is tied to your exchange account so it syncs properly.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much.
I tried again step by step creating an event both on my note 5.3 and 10.1
10.1 still did not add it to exchange server.

Now that i am thinking about it I did have to manually go into the system settings and go under sync to all of the accounts to get it to initially to work. System settings. Than also under the calendar settings. Sync.
Try that
I tried everything i could.
I even flashed latest stock rom i coukd find still the same.
My big puzzle is my gt-n7000 works perfectly with exactly thesame setup, same server.
Disappointment.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using XDA Premium HD app
I am having exactly the same problem. Calendar items don't sync to the Exchange server. Also I see that not all Exchange items sync to the device. For example, on Wednesday I had 3 items in Exchange for the day but only one sync'ed to the device. Same behavior on my G Note phone, but my razr works just fine.
Check in OWA to make sure your IT department hasn't set a device limit on the number of devices you can have syncing to Exchange .
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Not the problem as I can sync using Touchdown.
Still no luck.
I have tried using my old tab 7 and it works without an issue.
I will still check for the number of devices that can sync with my IT department but I don't think it will be the issue.

I had issues as well with S Planner, so I just changed it to the JB Calendar using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar&hl=en
no more problems!
I tried the JB calendar
Unfortunately itshows the same problem as sPlanner
I finally installed touchdown which worked immediately.
I don't like that but no other option
it is a huge shame that I am back to the problems I was having with Dell Streak years ago.
I hope there will be a solution in the coming days.
Thanks everyone.

I got it to work. I deleted the account and waited and then readded, but this time I set it to sync 1 day of email. Now I am getting all of my calendar items.

Great,
When you create a calendar item on your note does it add it to your exchange account?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium
Yes, I was able to create an item in S-Planner and about 15 seconds or less later it appeared in Outlook on my PC.
Just tried it, still no joy.
Thank you very much.

I am having this same problem. events created in outlook show up fine in s-planner but events created in s-planner do not show up in outlook. I didn't try deleting my account as noted above but I did go in and change the email setting to (1) day and it didn't help.
try deleting
I had tried just changing the email to 1 day on an account that didn't work and it didn't fix the problem. Only deleting the old account and creating a new one with 1 day sync for email got it to work.
Hi All,
I upgraded to xxali1 German Rom.
It seems to have solved the issue.
My exchange calendar is working properly.
You might want to give it a try.

[Q] some contacts double on phone

seems like restaurants I have saved in People are all doubled.
I tried to delete the doubles, People/Menu/Manage/de-duplicate.
It did delete a great many, but many restaurants are still duplicated; and the entries are exactly the same, near as I can tell.
Ideas?
I think you can go onto Gmail/ contacts and remove duplicates or type it in google and you'll get your answer.

Try a program called wondershare Mobile go . It will merge your duplicate contacts.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I should have been clearer. It's only affects contacts on phone. Gmail web mail contacts are all good no duplicates.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
Wondershare mobilego is a free app you install it on your PC. It doesn't matter where the contacts are it will merge them. Even if they're on Google or your phone.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
within People on the phone, one can select Menu/Manage Contacts/De-duplicate and more or less get the job done.
But the odd thing was is that there were dupes on the phone, but not on the google webmail/contacts tab. Nor OSX Address Book.

Corporate (Exchange) email client alternatives

I think I've had enough with the stock e-mail app for getting my work e-mails. It dims the entire phone every time I open it, it flickers when I scrolls, etc. This is on multiple ROMs with multiple versions of Jelly Bean. I'm convinced the app just plain sucks.
Anyone use any revolutionary third-party apps that they want to share? I checked out TouchDown and Moxier... but $20? No thanks. K-9 seems just OK.
thanks!

We're on Exchange via Office 365 cloud
Touchdown is great, but expensive. Keep an eye out for sales, I got it for $2 about 2 years ago
You can try the AOSP client, I believe beans has it in his roms. You can also use enhanced email but I stopped using it since I got my S3, the app was acting weird...

I'm trying out Aqua Mail right now. It is only SMTP at this point. No direct Exchange connectivity (ActiveSync)... YET. I e-mailed the dev and he is considering getting a license from M$ to add it to his app.
Other than that I love it. It's free but appends a watermark of sorts at the end of email drafts. $5 to unlock pro version.

Well... found my solution. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33402676&postcount=5
It's an inverted AOSP email flashable zip. It's just plain sexy. It doesn't have any of the issues the default JB e-mail app has.
If you're interested....
-Nandroid
-Delete the SecEmail and SecExchange apk's from /System/App with a root file manager
-Flash the zip in link above
-Go into app manager and force stop/delete data on email AND exchange. I had to do this to get it to work. Not optional.
-Profit.

Another vote for Enhanced Email. It handles multiple accounts, including Gmail, well enough that I had it as my main email app for a while.

The problem with using an alternate email client is you lose the new notification features of jelly bean. I was a long time user of Enhanced Email, but given the issues using it in jelly bean, and losing out on some improved notification functions I opted to use the stock app. I do miss the custom led notifications though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I've used them all. Enhanced Email, Touchdown, Mail droid, K-9, Kaiten, etc... All are good but all do not have it "all" for functionality. I did like enhanced email on my phone but hated it on tablet due to not having the preview pane option. Touchdown is super powerful but only allows exchange email. Mail droid has great features but does not yet support calendars. K-9 was great until my company changed to exchange server 2010 which K-9 does not support.
I feel like I am on a lifelong search for a do it all email client.

I forked over $20 and bought Touchdown. Great layout. Love it. Done.
