Severe lag with Google Calendar and GMail widgets - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use both the Gmail inbox widget, which let's me preview and scroll through current mail without opening the Gmail app, and the Google Calendar widget which allows me to preview my calendar in agenda mode.
Both widgets have extreme lag in scrolling. Calendar has lag and sync/updating issues.
It was like this on my Edge (exchanged for regular S6) and on my new S6.
Anyone else experiencing problems like this?

I'm glad you mentioned this... I have the same issue as well... I only use the Google Calendar widget and that lags badly when scrolling through my agenda. When inside the app itself it is buttery smooth like everything else. Let me know if and when you find a solution that isn't an update.
I originally ignored this because let's face it... It's very minor.

Have the same issue , any updates?

[Q] Google Calendar

Is there anyway (without rooting) to change the native calendar app on this device from S Planner to Google Calendar? I can add the damn widget to my home screen but it is a very disappointing misdirection to S-Planner when you click on it.
Your post intrigues me. I can find neither a Google Calendar app, nor a Google Calendar widget. Please share your source.

The native calendar widget appears, in facade at the very least to look like the Google calendar widget.

you can try Android 4.1 Jellybean Calendar from the market... its widget (and the app) is stock android as far as i can tell and will take you to the stock calendar app on touching.
the reason i swapped s planner with this app is because of the way s planner widget shows full day events. i liked full day events to take up only a thin bar instead of the s planner way of showing full details... this app does that for you too.
As of recently there is now an Official Google calendar app.
By default, at least on my note, the widgets are all from S-planner in anycase so definitely it would open S-planner.
What you could do is install Google calendar set it as default in settings and disable S-planner altogether in the app settings. Although i dont see a widget for calendar on my tab

SKY ICS 4.2e updated to 17ish - Minor Calendar Problem!

OMG do i love SKY ICS 4.2e....I love that it is just like the S3's launcher. I've found one minor bug with the UI. The calendar app widgets(4x1 Agenda, 4x4 Month, and 4x2 literally crash the TWlauncher over and over as it tries to initiate the widget everytime. I read through the fixes and this is listed. Go into apps find twlauncher in the ALL APPS tab, go into the app and click the clear data button. This removes all your shortcuts but it fixes the launcher. I am wondering if there is anyway to use the calendar widgets? Anyway to install a different calendar apk or just use a different one all together? I really love the stock samsung calendar so I would like to figure a way to fix this. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Lag with Scrolling Widgets on TWHome

I use an app called timetable and it has a scrolling widget that lists all my classes and rooms etc. When I scroll down the widget the framerate inside the widget is appaling, the same problem is replicated in the Gmail widget, not a problem on my M8 running lollipop. Anyone else have this problem?

Birthday calendar

I've a strange problem here.
I've always used Neat Calendar widget for an agenda on my main screen. Had this since my Galaxy S2 days!
However, on the Pixel 5, it does not show my contacts birthday calendar. Tried unsetting and resetting the calendars to display etc. no joy. All other calendars show/hide as expected.
I then installed Event Flow Calendar widget, and this has exactly the same problem.
The Google widget works ok however.
Looked back on my Huawei Mate P20, and the birthdays still show just fine on that.
Thinking this may be an android 11 problem for these apps.
Its a shame if it is, as I dont think Neat Calendar is developed any more.
Just wondering if anyone else having a similar issue with these (or indeed other) 3rd party calendar agenda types of widget.
Cheers
