Best Android Task/ToDoManager?

There are huge number out there but any suggestions as to the best? I am looking for one that will sync with PC. Thanks

Id like to know too.
Iphone have A-Note, wich seams pretty nice. The android copy easy note +2do
isnt half as good.
Im useing Tag ToDo, but the UI isnt looking as good as a I want it to.

hi
I have just made the move to Android too and have been furiously installing all task managers to try and replace Awesome Note from my iPhone.
what I have found is EasyNote which is a direct rip-off but not as polished. Astrid seems very good and has remember the milk sync so I think you could sync to your pc in a round about fashion. this what I am using for now.
MyTasks and ListMaster are both ones that I am going to try and use as well and worth a look.
finally I have got Jorte and this handles tasks in a very integrated to calendar sort of way that I can't decide if I like or not but would recommend having a look at.
I am also keen to hear other opinions as I have only had the HTC desire for a week and only trying to find 'progs' (engadget listeners will know) for the last couple of days

Check out Astrid. It has a home screen widget and syncs OTA with Remember the Milk.

I've spent like 100 mandays researching this topic and my current setup is: Toodledo + Got To Do + Pure Calendar widget. I'm using it everyday syncing with exchange server and I can highly recommend this setup.

Shuffle is pretty good for GTD aficionados. It syncs (to a certain extent) with Tracks.

For me the best is gtasks
It also sync's with Google tasks!

Yes, only spent few minutes with it but Shuffle looks quite encouraging. Given the larger screens the problem us the PC equivalent with which I would like to sync. RTM just does not do it for me. Too much wasted space (even if I do not use it).
Toodledo best I have found on that side

Anything that can sync with Outlook as well?

HTC Sync (included on the SD card and available for download on HTC's website) can sync with Outlook.

I have one in development that will be available for beta testing before the end of the month. Desktop syncing is planned (with either a dedicated client or Outlook, depending on which is more popular) but will not be available immediately.

Last time I checked, this could only sync Calendar and Contacts, not Tasks.

I would definitely prefer the Outlook variant.

im gonna try your combo =)
Atm im running: "New Tab to Tasks A simple extension that makes your New Tab Page be your Google Tasks in chrome" +gtasks app on the Nexus + Pure Calendar Widget as the widget.
pretty pleased, only problem i see is that the tasks that are due for the day gets red in Pure Cal Widget, and i wanna configure that colour but i cant.
i also miss the ability to get that tasks "toast" up on the screen or something like that. can Got To Do, do that?

I'd say the gtasks (believe it's actually call SSI tasks) app is the best,
auto syncs for the first thirty days as a free app, and then after that it's manual sync.
I think it's the best because it's one of the few that can sync with google tasks AND can work offline (I don't have a data plan so this is esp. nice)!

+1 for this (I don't use Exchange Server though).
I'd love it if Jorte could sync with Toodledo/Got To Do, as I much prefer it's calendar to the default HTC one

+1 for Astrid.

I just uploaded a new todo app on my site. It's in beta status right now. If you're interested, please look here:

thankyou so much, i asked about ann app of this kind after using go sms and loving the contacts search style in that. top app, top quality dev team!

Does not have Facebook Pictures syncing. None of my contacts have pictures. I'd really like to use this APP, but that's a huge deal breaker for me until it is fixed.

That's a limitation of Android. Install photo unlocker from the market and it will fix the issue.

Are there other alternatives? I hope GO Contacts have a root version which unlocks photo.

cool, switched to go sms last night, just installed this. looks good. needs theming options

Congratulations! It's perfect!!!! I really love the possibility to merge accounts because I had problem syncing my nexus one with google server and it copied my contacts 3 or 4 times. Now it's perfect! The only problem is to click "Merge" on every duplicate .-.

its cool app.

Man everything the Go Dev team touches is awesome.....a theme for this would be perfect. Way cool

Happened to stumble across this. Looks and feels great. Will put it to the test!

YES!
I was just waiting for them to release an app like this! I never liked youlu and have been using the stock app.
Going to try this out now. I think I'm turning in to a Go! Fanboy. They just need someone to check their english

I really love your launcher and SMS application, but I stick with rocketdial for now...

It works great! It would be cool to have an optional skin to mimic the standard Gingerbread skin, tho... Right now it's too much iPhone-ish imho

Do we get the numbers to the cute chicks too? Really tho awesome replacement app.

Those contact pictures are from japanese pornz. lol

This looks promising.

It is a cool app to filter through contacts quickly
But then if I select one contact from the main list, I get the detailed view from the stock application.
Is this how the app is supposed to behave or do I have to change some settings?
By the way, after installation the app changes name from go contacts to go dialer

Another excellent app from GO team. I searched for a good contacts app alternative and I think I will stick with this. One important think missing only: support of other language letters in dialer. I'm interested for greek alphabet. If you plan to support this future, these are the letters:
Code:
--- ΑΒΓ ΔΕΖ
ΗΘΙ ΚΛΜ ΝΞΟ
ΠΡΣ ΤΥΦ ΧΨΩ
And if you plan to support localization, I can make the greek translation too.
Just let me know.

This app drains battery. I have been tracking it's behaviour for several hours via Watchdog Task Manager (refresh every minute) and it reported Go Contacts every 5-15 minutes. CPU usage was usually around 5-6%. Why is it running in the background in sleep mode?
Secondly, there is a bug with Go Dialer - sometimes (very, very often) clicking on the shortcut on the homescreen doesn't activate dialer. It's just not responding to touch. Then I have to re-add it to start working again. One more thing - the default icons are really ugly - it feels almost like iPhone, which is an awful thing for me. Uninstalled, but I'll keep watching the development.

im really liking this app....anyway to integrate Gosms into this?...that would be awsome!

What's better than the S-planner?

Do you guys use the stock S-planner? Or is there a better Calendar app for the Galaxy Note? Or is the S planner enough for you guys?

I like the S-Palnner, but I'm using 240 DPI. Does not look nice.
Zhe best calendar app, for my oppinion, is "Business Calendar". The colors are not my favourite ones, but the functionality is very nice.

CalenGoo is great. I've tried them all and this is my favourite for work use.

With the S-Planner, I can create and move appointments with the stylus quickly and easily.

I use Jotre because I like the widget, but then again I don't have a very demanding schedule...

I tried Business planner, S Planner, Jotre and a few others.
CalenGoo to me was the best. Very clean interface, no bizarre color schemes. The recurring schedule options are the best IMO, and that is the core of Calendar options. Unfortunately it costs a few bucks. But Calendar apps and Contact apps are to me, the most important part of the core of the smartphone. Everybody has their own priorities, but Calendar was at the very top for me, and I chose CalenGoo.

Out of curiosity, now that the note has been in the hands of quite a few for a while, who sticks with the S-planner?
And why? What advantage does the S-planner have over other calendar apps? (aside from it being free)
To those who switched, why did you guys switch?
What did the other calendar apps do that the S-planner didn't do, or did not do as well?

Im using pocketinformant
Apart from it being the best i can set my working week to start on saturday and it integrates with google tasks and toodledo

calengoo. For customizations and flexibility. I have made it look good too, attached screenshot...
The developer is responsive too

To those who have used S-Planner, Calengoo, and Business Calendar, which of the three do you guys prefer? And are they worth the price?

I purchased those two on my other device but used s-memo on note because of the looks of it. However, am using calengoo now. Business calendar is as good only not as customizable.
If i have to choose one: calengoo
Buy one. Worth the price.

S Planner

S Planner has a weakness that it can not sync outlook Tasks. Why such a device like Note dosn't have a simple thing when Windows Mobile phones do?

I love Pocket Informant because it syncs with Toodledo. It is a pain to categorize, arrange and edit Task in Google Calendar website.
I actually like the interface for S-Planner, but not using it unless it support Toodledo or heck even Google Task!

CalenGoo is the best app! PI sucks big time! I was a big fan on WM but the Android version is really sad... It looks good but is sloooow. And they have never gotten syncing of Google tasks to work as it should and sync of events sometimes fail as well...

If Calengoo have Toodledo Task syncing, I'll jump all over it!

I replaced it with "calendar droid".
i mostly use the week view.
i mainly bought the note to see the whole week on the screen... but scroling up and down just wasnt an option for me.
the whole day events take to much screen resolution, showing only 8 hours of a day on such a big screen is a design fail. the title of the event can barely show 5 letters...
the month view where you need to scrool this 1,5 line of the details in the bottom is painfull...
it does not have any settings for default reminders, nor does it take from the calendar (the ones set in the desktop version of gcalendar).
the time chooser is awfull.

Did you ever wanted to stay updated with whatever your friends do on Facebook? Now with Facebook Ticker for Android you can!!
This app allows you to follow the Facebook ticker stream that you can find in the upper right corner of the Facebook desktop site. The Facebook ticker includes all the updates regarding your friends, updates you will not find in your Facebook home page or in any other Facebook mobile app. (right now they are only available on the desktop site of Facebook)
Simply login with your Facebook credentials and the app will display you the latest real-time actions of your friends/pages you like. You can scroll up to fetch new updates, or scroll down and let the app fetch older updates.
This is the first version of this app, new features will soon be available...please suggest some in comments.
Connection problems:
A small number of users are experiencing connection issues, i'm working on this problem, please be patient.
ATTENTION PLEASE:
-----THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL FACEBOOK APP.------
The credentials are NOT stored anywhere. Only the email will be stored on your phone.
This app needs permission to connect to internet to login to your Facebook account and to download the ticker stream. All the connections to facebook are secured using https. The app also connects to an google ad server to display ads on the bottom of the app. No other connections are established. These are the only connection taking places : you->facebook, you->googleAdServer.

This app is probably fake I guess...maybe used to steal passwords
Sent from my Blade using Tapatalk 2

I'm the developer it's not the official facebook login page because you cannot access the ticker stream from the standard facebook api, else any other facebook app would have had that stream right?
That's why the basic authentication values are needed.
No worries i don't steal passwords, i would be stupid to publish such app with my personal account.
Any android developer can check that no other communication than towards facebook and google ad servers are made.

I'm after the opposite, well sortof.
I want a way to remove the ticker from the facebook app. On a Samsung tablet (Note 10.1 2014 ed) when you split screen 2 apps you cant see your timeline as the bloody ticker takes up most of the screen. You get a column of letters and small words.
I've been searching for a way to remove the ticker but cant find any. Does anyone have an idea?
I'm trying to remove it from the Android app NOT chrome. I got an extension which does that nicely, its the android app I want to remove the ticker from.

I still don't receive birthdays notifications, and your updates unfortunately did not fix it. As you suggested, I verified the settings and checked the pie icon: everythings seems to be ok, but I don't receive notifications for birthdays. Instead, the notifications are shown for Google tasks.
