Anyone know of an app for a calendar that I can sync to my wife's phone with the same calendar app?

Can you just share a gmail calendar with her and then enable that calender on her phone?
What Calendars are you trying to sync? I know that for me I have my Outlook and Gmail calendars synced together with Google Calendar Sync, that way my calendar is always up to date with whatever ROM I'm running (Sense, AOSP, etc.)
I haven't tried anything yet...was just looking for a good app for this

Yeah, the stock Calendar will do this, as well as any 3rd party calendar apps that use Google Calendar as their data source. You and your wife just need to be using Google Calendar, and share your calendars with each other.
As far as specific calendar apps, Touch Calendar is my favorite. It gives you a full month view (6+ weeks actually), while still displaying the time and appointment description (a good # of characters, so you can actually tell what it is). Which is something that the stock calendar and other 3rd party apps simply do not do (or don't do well).
The free version of Touch Calendar works great as a stand-alone app. But if you want put the calendar on your homescreen as a widget (which I like to do), this requires the paid app. But I found it worth the couple bucks to buy the paid app.
If u r looking at a cal app, trust me...nothing but nothing can compare to Calengoo...

Awesome app..
If you don't want to spend money and still have an awesome calender app try cozi.

I can't get away from Jorte, been using it for a few years now and it's still the best one that I've used.

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.
Hello, just got my NS4G today and thought I had a good plan to overcome the lack of Facebook contact sync. Plan A - Friendcaster Pro and Plan B - Facebook Sync. Well, both have worked mostly. I get alot of contacts and pictures, but missing many. I don't think its due to the the friends having blocked 3rd Party Apps sharing their information. Because on my Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 32GB wifi, with the newest Touchwiz update, I get all my contacts using Friendcaster. But Samsung also now has provided a FB sync with Touchwiz so perhaps it is filling in the gaps?
Regardless, if 1 app can sync the contacts so should another. So that rules out some friends with different settings. Anyone run into this? I know Facebook sync is an island in itself on the Nexus. But I am pondering of anyone has found a non root solution? I have all MAC so I don't have an easy way to root.
Thoughts?

OK, I realized the contacts synched... at least more than I thought. However I'm having to link alot of Gmail contacts to Facebook counterparts than normal.
I also have 1 contact that just won't find the FB counterpart.
Are there any apps to smart join Gmail and Facebook entries? It got alot of them with friendcaster pro. Just need last mile.

Does anybody know how to adjust the following.
When i open Gmail i see it only loaded about 6 emails and then it will load more.
After a while or after a reboot i see its again only about 6 and when i open it it loads the rest. (i can also see this in the gmail widget.)
Is there a way to set a default so i will always sync like the latest 50 emails?
I would like this because when i dont have a wifi connection around and i want to check one of the emails i seen before, i cant because it didnt load that much.
hope you understand what i mean.
I think it syncs a specific time frame. If you want to view them off-line you can add gmail to the stock email app (either as Exchange or as imap).

Whats the difference between using gmail app or the email app?
accept for it storing the emails on the device?
any functions that differ or sync posibilities etc?
i like the gmail app, just want it to store more emails for offline use
Gmail app only works with gmail and is actively developed by google. The mail app is a android stock email app customised by the manufactures. Beside the offline storage you can use them the same way but you could also pull the mail instead of pushing.

You probably know the HTC Tasks widget from sense 3.5
How do I sync with Google Tasks or some other sources??

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... Maybe it can't be done because it's a beta, or it doesn't sync with Google but with some HTC service.

Ya...it must not be a completed app. Based on the greyed out Settings>Accounts option and the "Refresh" option it looks like it is intended to eventually sync with a cloud-based service. I truly hope that it will be the Google servers. Their use of the color bars along the left hand side of the tasks makes me hopeful that it will be Google-based....
I use nuevasync as an exchange account with toodledo as a task manager. I've got it syncing without issue. Only certain exchange services will it support at this time.

It is more than just .apk there are system libs in there too. It won't work with 3.0 yet. Just got 3.5 its just as polished as 3.0 and appears faster to the naked eye. There are some wonderful. 2.3.5 roms.

any updates on htc tasks??
google calendar's recent updates integrated googles tasks as an own calendar and the tasks can be attached with due dates and notes which will be shown in the calendar. very very cool feature, but unfortunately this new "tasks" calendar is not shown in our htc devices as a standalone calendar which it should be :-(

Yeah that's a known issue with Google Calendar for quite some time. Tasks have been around for Calendar for well over a year. However it's googles funky way of integration that is the issue, not the Calendar apps. It's because Google Tasks are not true tasks nor true calendar, but a wonky hybrid.
My iphone and vanilla Android had the same issues.
What exactly is your problem with the tasks app?
Sounds more like your problem is Google, not HTC.
works great for me with toodledo through Nuevasync.
my problem is that "accounts" in HTC Tasks is greyed out. I want to sync Google's tasks with HTC Tasks app and want the Google Tasks Calendar to be shown as a standalone calendar on my phone.

Well I can click accounts (using virtuous affinity 1.46) but can only sync with exchange or use local lists.
Even if you could sync with google tasks it's a basic service, I would rather sync with astrid or producteev.
The accounts list is grayed out, because HTC Tasks sync works with Exchange ActiveSync. Add an Exchange account under Settings/Accounts and Sync, and you will be able to sync your tasks.
Hope this helps.

Ed
I added my google account as an exchange account and selected only tasks to sync but it never syncs any tasks?

Hey there! i have Desire S with HTC One ported OS. it also reports that it has Sense 4.0.
i've activated the widget and made task lisk on my google account but the problem is that the widget sometimes it shows the task list, sometimes it doesnt.
anyone know why this is happening?!
I have been searching all over and have been unable to find a solution to sync google tasks with the stock android calendar app. I am able to sync multiple google calendars.... but not tasks. I can view the tasks on my google calendar via the web, however there is no option for tasks when using the stock android calendar app. Anyone have suggestions for this? Thanks in advance.
there are various tasks apps that sync with google tasks. Astrid is one that I use.
No native app from google at this point.
Jorte works as a calendar and task app and you can have more than 1 task list I believe.

If you want tasks to show in calendar, you have to add them as events rather than Google tasks. This is because they are isolated items from the point of view of Google (I disagree) and this is why the calendar only shows events and not tasks.
If you don't want to install 3rd party software, you will have to go that route.
This is personally what I do too... For some reason android users have this strange fetish for getting apps for everything even though it should be native.

I agree that it would be nice if that functionality was built-in.
Another option is Tasks Free by Team Tasks (I'd search the dev in the store, the app title is too vague). Its more bare-bones than Astrid (but I don't have much experience with Astrid). I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it seems good.
Thanks all for the input. ill give astrid a try.
Ugh. This drives me nuts. I don't understand Google's logic on this one. If 'Tasks' are a part of 'Calendar', then they should be accessible in the same way as calendar events. I shouldn't have to have separate apps/widgets to view tasks and events. That's just plain stupid. They are both in my Calendar.
Adding Tasks as an event is annoying at best, and at worst you can't mark them complete or see overdue tasks. Using a shortcut to the web based version doesn't help and is an even worse workaround. No notifications or even a visible homescreen widget? No Thanks.
People recommend Jorte like its the best thing since chocolate and peanut butter. I've tried it twice and it comes off as Windowsy and way more complicated than necessary.
So I am left with a bunch of crummy choices, most of which involve me having to use a 3rd party app. Why can 3rd parties figure this out and not you Google? Thanks.
I hawe same troubles. Now I use CalenGoo - it's so usefull calendar with a task support. It have a separate widget for calendar (very usable and customisable) and for task (so ugly for me) but inside yhe mail application sinchrinise and show task and calendar relativelu good.

Thank you, I was having exactly this same problem and your post led me to Calengoo. It perfectly syncs Google Tasks and Google Calendar and both are visible on the same calendar on your android, and both sync instantly to your google account and show up on your desktop google calendar. The widgets are good too.
Cannot believe Google has not implemented this, there are so many posts on their own forums complaining about it all the way back to 2009.
