None of my color codes are showing in month view.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

The new monthly view is simply retarded beyond anything imaginable. I hope the guys get their act together asap and fix this mess.

They're not supposed to. It shows you what day you're on. It will show you what day have appointments. That's all

That doesn't make sense, nor does it follow the desktop version which shows all colors. Why would I not want a quick glance to know exactly what I have going in each day in calendar view nose

It completely follows the desktop version
Top-left. It bolds the days with appointments and not the ones that haven't. It shows no colours.
Now there is another month view that can't fit in the app that shows more than colours and text but the whole appointments. That's not an overview though, like the app
What's a view nose?

A typo I never corrected. At one point my Google calender showed the color. So I'm not sure why 5.0 is acting dumb

Not in this view. You can do a maximum of 5 days using the menu in the top right corner. This monthly overview is just that. An overview of free days vs days with appointments.
Maybe the tablet version is more comprehensive? There are also other apps you can use.

The functionality got broken in the "upgrade" -- the only things we can do are wait for Google to fix it or switch to another calendar app.

My girlfriend's calender shows color fine, but I specifically remember a point where mine didn't, but somehow I fixed it. So maybe there is a easy way to fix this.

App to show upcoming appointments on HS?

The EVO is my first Android phone, coming from a WinMo 6.1 HTC Fuze.
Is there a way to get the calender app or either of the two calender widgets included with the EVO to display your next appointment on the main home screen, like the Fuze did?
I know there is a tiny calender icon at the top of the screen if you have an appointment coming up, but I was hoping for something right on the home screen.
For instance, with the Fuze, if you had an appointment in three days, it would show that as your next upcoming appointment, allowing you to keep it in mind.
Let me take a screen shot and you tell me if its what you are looking for.

I would love to know what that agenda widget you've got there is, as well as the one that shows batt/phone/microSD storage. Please
Agenda Widget and Mini Info. Hope that helps.

I ended up finding the Android Agenda Widget last night on the market. Didn't have any luck with the other though so thanks!

Umm. The stock android calendar widget shows the next entry in your calendar like it sounds the Fuze did/does
I’m not getting any of mine. Is there a setting to add it?
I use smooth calandar

Dialer Applications

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad
check out superdial
There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!
I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!
Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.

Go Weather Widget Skins

Anyone else that using the Go Weather widget having problems where the themes for the widget aren't allowing you to browse for more? Seems to only be allowing me to select two - the default and a simple one.
I really want the lucid pro one, but even if I download it from the market it isn't showing up in the widget's theme section. I hate that default one with the flowers and green lawn.
I am having the exact same issue. What ROM are you on?

My wifes phone is a Samsung Fascinate, with a Touchwiz debloated Rom, mine was running MIUI, now running Jermaine's Stock Plus from yesterday. Having the issue on all of them, including my wifes.
I'm having exactly the same issue. The missing themes are available in the Market, but if you download them for there they are not associated with the application and will not load...
Strangely, mine started working. I wish I knew what I did, but I didn't actually do anything that I'm aware of. Sorry I'm no more help.
I did notice a banner news update in the GoWeather app which talked about fixing the bug with the widget packs not being selectable, but I know I didn't install an update.
I believe they said it was a server issue
I still have the issue on my Atrix. Had on a stock ROM, now having still with CM7.
Doesn't seem to be server issue or at least doesn't seem to be fixed yet.
Ääähhh...did nobody of you guys realize that the widget doesnt actualize the weather and shows completely wrong weather data? I tried our big german cities like münchen, düsseldorf, dortmund, berlin...with the same result. when will goweather devs wake up and fix that?

I gave up and switched to the Android Weather widget. Always accurate and goes nice with the stock Go launcher. I like that it has wind speed. I already have a calender widget so use the date tap to open the Weather Channel for a more detailed forecast. It also shows your exact address on the 2nd screen, which can be useful.

I would like to present the new “Neon Clock” created by CodeDaemons team (which consists of two graphic designers and one programmer). It is one of the first widgets created by us, but we did our best to ensure that our application would work efficiently. It is completely free version of Neon Clock, however there's always a possibility that payable version will be available in the future.
Beautiful Neon Clock in Google Play
And our profile link.
We are looking forward to read Your opinions!
Cheers!
oh... these look nice!! thanks for sharing. I don't normally use a clock widget, but I might use this...

I would use if the clocks were transparent, any plans to do this?
Been using for some hours now, it just seems to be draining my battery, any solutions?
I really like the look of it.

Sadly - no plans about that
@tranceph0rmer
please note that those apps will display false battery usage as the service for clock is only ran once a minute and is disabled for the rest of time

I second the transparency, I think that would look nice. About the "false" battery usage though, why would it be reported that way if it wasn't actually using that much battery? Is that just because (some) battery monitoring apps really don't take into account times when widgets/apps/services aren't running? That just seems odd to me, however I am not extremely experienced in the way these things work.
It's not a battery monitoring app,
It's the stock htc power usage displayer.
Hmmmmm......
First come smiles. Then come lies. Last is gunfire.
hmmmm we'll look into that
+ maybe if few more ppl show their interest in transparency option we will think about that

I have a particular calendar need, looking for input

Ok so i need to setup appointments, these almost always happen 4 weeks apart. Would be nice to have an app that lets me set the repetition as 4 weeks. Google calendar on my computer does it, but i can't find a calendar on android with this option.
Here's to hoping somebody has seen this and can help me out, thanks
Try Business Calendar
I use that program a lot, it however doesn't suit this need
If you use Google Calendar it will allow you to pick the repeat intervals... it has an option to popup on your phone and/or email. Works great.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like a desktop version, to use the desktop version on my phone is clunky at best, and the mobile version doesn't have that option. So what I'm looking for is an app with those options.
Thanks
Touch calender does what you want and sync to your gmail calender.

Business calendar does do this. When you create your entry at the bottom select weekly. Under that there is a box that you can select every 4 week's plus an end date if needed.

Touch is a nice cal. Thanks for that.
And thanks for showing me how to do this in business cal. Makes sense now but i would've never figured that out
