[Q] s planner - galaxy note 10.1 - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have noticed on several pictures of the s planner different colors for different events on your calendar. How is that possible, everytime I input something into my calendar it does one color for everything. even when I input it and change the color on my computer and once it syns to my galaxy 10.1 everything is the same color. help. how do i make different events different colors.

As far as I know and im no expert but what i do is create a number of google calendars. for example - work & family - i assign dieffernt calendar colours in google for those calendars. Now back on s planner you will now have two categories for your events/appointments. You will have family and you will have work. Create your event and choose which calendar you want it in. Hey presto - your event appears with the relevant colour assigned back in your google calendar.
Hope that makes sense.
Just create as many clanedars as you need in google. They will appear in s planner.

This doesn't directly answer your question, and I don't know if you can assign different colors to events created in S Planner. But I have different colored events on my S Planner calendar as a result of syncing with two different Google Calendars. Each synced calendar's events appear in a different color, to differentiate between the calendars.

Windows Calender Default Categories Problem

In windows mobile, the calender application has 4 default categories.
Personal, Business, Seasonal and Holiday....
I used both personal and business. But have completely no use for Seasonal and Holiday...
Is there anyway at all to remove these categories at all? I don't use them, but they keep appearing in the Categories Selection option...
This is quite... irritating as I am adopting a kind of GTD method.
Well my problem is similiar because i added categories I want to get rid off again and really dont know how.
So up to now, be careful with mistyping new categories
I might be way off on this, but I think the only way(s) to do that is to edit them in Outlook on your computer, and it will make the changes on your device when you sync it.
Or am I mixing it up with something else?

Some Questions and possible bugs

I upgraded from a HTC Imagio running Windows Mobile 6.5 to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it is my first foray into the Android world, so I hope you can help with the following. As you can see, it was a big step up the ladder of mobile operating systems!
1. If I have a name prefix for my contact in the contact list, like Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr., the name does not autocomplete for that contact from the phone keypad. When I enter the letters of the first or last name on the phone keypad, the contact does not show up. However, if I delete the name prefix and leave it blank, it shows up fine. Is there some setting to have all the contacts show up or is it a bug? Is it happening for others too?
2. On the Windows phone, I had a reminder application which showed a list of all reminders. I could set the reminder to repeat after any number of days/weeks/years. However, in the Android Calendar, when I set an event, I am unable to set the number of days/weeks/months/years it has to repeat. For example, I need an event to repeat every 365 days (calendar with no leap day) but I cannot set it on my phone or in GMail. Also, when the alarm goes off, I would like to be reminded again after a day or a few hours or a few minutes until I dismiss the notification so I can have the remidner go off a few days before the event as a reminder. I don't know if that is possible too. I looked at a couple of apps from the Play Store but could not find one which does everything. Anyone know of a trick to get this to work?
Update: DGT GTD & To-Do List with its recent updates now does what I need. Thanks to the author for adding the features.
3. When I check my gmail in the web browser, I am unable to delete the mails. I touch the trash icon but it stays highlighted but does not delete the mail. Is that a bug or am I again doing something wrong? I have different gmail accounts that I would like to check on the phone without transferring contacts and calendar entries.
Update: Looks like a bug in the stock web browser. GMail works as expected in Chrome browser
4. Is there a clear writeup of how the calendar and contacts sync between gmail and the phone? I had transferred all my contacts from my Windows mobile phone to gmail and they showed up on my S3 when I set up the gmail account. However, they would not transfer to my phone. I had to export the contacts to a file on my phone and then import the contacts into my phone. Maybe I do not need the contacts to reside on the phone? I was worried that if I was in an area with poor or no signal reception, then I may not be able to view the contacts if they were only on my gmail account and not on the phone.
4a. Similarly, I would like to know how the calendar entries from gmail can be pulled on to the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help and patience in reading the above! I have a lot to learn but hope I can get my phone to work the way I would enjoy. If you can suggest any resource for reading other than XDA and Android Central, that would be great too.
Oops. This should have been posted in the Q&A Forum. Mods, can you please move it if that is where it belongs? Thanks!

S Planner not saving event edts?

I was playing around with S Planner last night, sending messages to my Google Calendar from my phone (I don't have a smart phone, but use my phone's calendar to log all my appointments while on the road, 'cause it's the most convenient) and seeing them show up in S Planner. Pretty cool. But I'm having a problem editing events in S Planner, even events I created WITH S Planner. If I create an event and then edit it, changing the recurrence, adding participants or locations, etc., the edits don't save. If I make ONE EDIT AT A TIME, they save. So, edit... save... edit... save... and so on.
Anyone else experience this?

Basic Google Calendar Help

1. I use Jorte Calendar. Something I have become used to...or thought so What is the difference in what they call "My Calendar" and "Eric H Calendar" I use the second one, and have to, and that is no problem. I just want to know what the My Calendar is, why they mainly show that in examples, and why I have nothing in there. I do see on the PC calendar it is "Eric H Calendar", so I know why the info is there, just not in the other one
2. I can change the color of the events, tasks and holidays on the PC Calendar, however, I cannot see a place to change the important events on the PC. Does this have to be done on the Jorte widget? I am thinking so, because the colors of the events and holidays are not changing on the widget when I sync
Any help is appreciated

[Discussion] What calendar app do you use, and why?

Did a few searches and didn't find any recent threads discussing Calendar apps in general, so let's get one going.
Discussion starters:
What calendar app do you use, and why?
Are there other Calendar apps you've tried? What ones did / didn't you like?
What features do you absolutely demand from your calendar app?
What features do you want from a calendar app, but can't find?
If you ditched a calendar app in the past, when did you ditch it, what app did you go to, and why?
In the past, I've tried a bunch of the top calendars like Business Calendar, aCalendar, Google Calendar, Touch Calendar, Pure Calendar, etc. Every single time, I end up coming back to CalenGoo.
CalenGoo isn't all that pretty, especially the menus and settings (which are quite overwhelming at first.) The setup is difficult, and time consuming, especially if you want to play with the colors, text, etc. Even if you don't try to visually customize the app, it still is far from intuitive, and really does take some time to figure out.
Having said all of that, the primary thing that keeps me coming back is the ability to set default reminders. I have not found this in any other calendar app that I've tried. I want to be send reminders of almost everything I put on my calendar. For me, the most effective reminders are text messages, so I set the default reminders to 4 or 5 separate texts (24 hours prior, 2 hours prior, 30 minutes prior, 10 minutes prior). This saves me a substantial amount of clicking when I'm setting up a new task. At most, maybe I'll need to add or subtract a reminder or play with the times, but not having to add 4 or 5 reminders, set the reminder times, and set the method of reminder is fantastic.
Other more standard features that I demand from my calendar are a month view and a month view widget. I also like the calendar to have a more complex recurring event thing like '3rd monday of each month', 'every other tuesday,' 'quarterly on the 6th of february, may, august, november', etc (you get the picture.) Finally, it must be able to sync with any subset of the google calendars I have added to the phone, and the ability to sync the other optional google generated calendars I've attached, like US holidays, christian holidays, etc.
I used to use business calendar, now I use sunrise calendar. No particular reason for switching - I did a factory reset, and I wanted to see what's the big deal about sunrise.
