DaysAndDate is a handy tool to tell you how many days between two dates, or what is the date before/after several days.
e.g., if you want to know how many days left to somebody's birthday, or
if you what was the exact date 100 days ago/after, you can try DaysAndDate!
The result can be saved and updated automatically every day and you also can write some comments for the dates.
I hope you will like it!
Nice app, works well, very easy to use. I didn't quite get the 'favorites' until I realized I could use it as a counter, makes perfect sense now!
Question... Why the network location, Phone State, and Wake on Boot permissions?
May I suggest to add an alarm function associated with the favorites?
Thanks.

It has alarm feature. Long click on one item, tick the auto update, then tick the notify. This only works with the item whose result can countdown to zero.

Very nice App.
Do you have any intentions in doing any of the following:-
1. Linking to Calendar (or your own calendar program)?
Basically after saving the favorite you then have an option to stamp it into calendar. On each subsequent return to calendar it shows the favorite and the count down/count up automatically changes.
E.G. I add a meeting for a specific date in the future and I give it a target date of when I must have something specific ready. This date would then show a countdown in calendar informing me the remaining days before the item must be ready.
2. Widgets?
Having a favorite set as a widget would be handy.
One could then see at a glance on a home screen one or several favorites saved.

+1 on the widget for countdowns!
Thanks for your suggestions. I will add a widget in next version.
Just made another small app which reads the next upcoming calendar events and shows them on your lockscreen (in the text field where normally alarm apps show the next alarm).
ToDo:
separate date string for all-day events - done
configurable "look-ahead" time - done
Known problems:
some users reported a wrong sorting of the events. seems not to affect every device though
repeating events are ignored
if another app shows text in the same textfield, it might overwrite the calendar events
requires android 2.2 or 2.3 as the calendar content provider changed in froyo
doesn't look nice on android 3.0+ therefore i marked it as incompatible with these versions. i'll search for a alternative way to display the events on the lockscreen, not sure if that's possible though
Downloads:
Android Market
Looks good, installed and will let you know if there's any problems.
Looks nice, works good so far.
DAS FEST /o/
congrats - what a simple and cool UI !
Yeah, something ive searched for
thx
Really NICE app, but pleeeeease add location display!
For me the location of events is really important!
Great app! Works good.
Only one problem.
It shows me instead of the second appointment "null".
For example:
1 appointment on 27.07. -> is displayed correct
1 appointment on 29.07. -> is not displayed
Instead it is displayed:
28.07. null
At 28.07. ther is no calendar entry!
Using in on Android 2.3.3 with Nexus One.
Great job!
Very useful indeed and works like a charm!
Great UI and great job!
Thanks!
thanks for the feedback!
location is added in newest version, the "null"-bug should hopefully also be fixed
will this work on a sense lockscreen, too? (i have sense 3.0 lockscreen)
it should work on every lockscreen that normally displays the next upcoming alarm. dont know if the sense 3.0 slider does that, but the pattern/PIN/password definitly does
Not updating
For me, Lockscreen Calendar only updates manually from the app. Events from yesterday are still at the top of the list.

Really nice app love the idea...but it dont seem to work with unity sense 3.0 rom/lockscreen
Only "problem" I have found so far is the stupid Samsung Task Manager is rather kill-happy and I have to re-launch the calendar every now and then.

Update frequency
Would it be possible to have it update every 15 minutes?
works great with CM7
Nice app. Works with pattern unlock screen on CM7.
One request:
Is there a way to monitor Activesync calendar events when using Touchdown? Other calendar apps specifically have a "monitor touchdown calendar" so I assume they do things a bit differently.

actually the app doesn't run all the time so it shouldn't cause any problem killing it. i guess you suffer from the same "no update" bug as beeflin (which, again, is as good as fixed)

in the upcoming version you will be able to enter decimal values in the update field. so 15 min = 0.25 hours

ehm.. i dont know. i'm querying the default android calendar content provider, some of the first google results when you search for "android work with calendar" ^^
Can you add a horizont to show for calendar entries?
For example look only two days ahead.

I'm posting here because this community might share these concerns
HTC One S
Edit: Device is Stock, ICS Sense 4
Carrier: Virgin Mobile Canada
As most reports, its best to start with praise, but since I don’t want to make this long, I’m just going point of the negatives (sorry htc).
Hands down this is the best phone I have every used. Aside from a few learning curves, I have successfully transitioned into the android environment with minimal setbacks. I'm honestly very impressed with how good the user experience is.
FACEBOOK Widgets doesn't show latest posts (fail)
A good example is the Facebook widget. The widget will only show posts hours old unless I open the Facebook app and refresh the news feed. This defeats the purpose of having a widget for quick access to information. The widget doesn’t update in real-time (notifications are not pushed) and the interval to check for updates seems very sparse.
Browser menu does not always appear (Landscape mode) (fail/concern)
When you scroll you sometimes get the menus to appear (they slide in from top and bottom), others times it does not appear. Sometimes when you scroll fast, or slow. It seems to appear whenever it feels like it, making it difficult to get to the menu when you want. Though, I can always scroll to the top of the page.
edit: see it in action here: youtube. com/ watch?v=hSYRYCO5ytU#t=08m20s thanks moonrock
Message notifications (concern)
I really like the notification tray at the top of the screen, it provides information about downloads, pending transactions, new messages, etc., I use multiple chat clients (gchat, whats app, yahoo, sms). It would be nice if a new message would stay at the top for a few seconds so I can click it and immediately switch to it, instead of having to go home> swipe down> select message.
edit: I can just swipe, no need to go home first (unless it's full screen app). thanks edscholl
Indication LED (concern)
The flashing led works fine, but since it is embedded deep into the shell of the phone, you will not see it when its sitting away from you at an angle. I understand its to keep the phone sleek, and its something to adapt to.
Dropbox sync (concern)
The Dropbox app includes the option ‘Turn on Camera Upload’. This works great! The problem is, if I delete a photo from my Dropbox, it remains on my phone, and vice versa. So they are not in sync, and I can't find a solution.
edit: I tried Dropsync, and picked up the pro version to sync multiple folders. Sense 4 stores multiple files per image (thumbnails, preview, actual picture) in a series of folders. Deleting the files doesn't update Sense 4's image library... Great tool non the less! thanks pbelcomp
Vibrating touch (concern)
This is a really cool feature to provide tactile feedback, and it works very well! I have had it enabled for the keyboard, and I’m concerned that it may be hard on the motor or rattle the phone. Each keypress causes vibration. When typing a long messages, the vibrate will go on/off as long as I type. I’m sure this causes wear that is not necessary? Just a concern if its OK to use like this.
Home screen widget real estate (4x4 virtual grid) – would like to see 5x5? (concern)
With the screen resolution becoming higher, and screen size larger, it would be nice to have more room for icons and widgets.
edit: there are 3rd party apps that help with this (Apex, LauncherPro), thanks moonrock
Display quality (praise):
I first had issues with the jaggyness of small print, enough that I was worried it was going to be a problem and give me headaches. The fact that if you look closely, you can see as what I describe as ‘space between the pixels’, which is caused by the PenTile subpixel pattern. Example found here:
After using the phone for a few days, I’ve actually come to appreciate this feature. I’ve noticed the screen has become much easier on the eyes and extended use is very pleasing. I really like it!
Task switching (suggestion)
Yes there is a dedicated app switching button, but the smooth scroll and inertia makes it difficult to select the app you want (especially if your choice is right beside your current app, you need to slow down and get it just right). I suggest limiting inertia to slow swipes. Also maybe in the future, a shortcut to switch back to the previous app, a 3 finger swipe could switch back-forth between background apps.
Camera (suggestion)
This thing is brilliant! Only feedback would be to preserve the existing chosen effect. If I want all my pictures to have ‘vintage cold’, When I quit the camera and go back, it resets to ‘no effect’. Maybe this is a feature not sure.
Last but not least,
Menu: Keyboard click sound (suggestion)
Looking for sound ‘click’ when typing on keyboard. Is not in settings>SOUND, rather I found it in: Language & Keyboard > HTC Sense Input. Not a big deal, just a suggestion to include it in ‘settings>sound’ under ‘system’.

You should only have to briefly scroll downwards for the URL bar/menu to pop up at the top, not all the way to the top of the page.

It is a one way sync - you take a photo and it is auto-uploaded. You have to choose at that point what to keep where.

Use a 3rd party launcher (Apex, LauncherPro, etc) - You'll be able to change the grid size and resize your widgets accordingly.
You came from an iPhone didn't you?

Blackberry, app switching was easier, and indicator light was more useful IMHO. But the typing is way better on this device
Hm, I see what you mean re: the browser via this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSYRYCO5ytU (browser is at 7:35-ish)
You could also try a new browser (ex: Chrome) if you don't like how the built in one doesn't work how you like. Another "solution" would be to pinch to zoom out to quickly be able to get back up to the top.

your general heading is wrong. widgets certainly can update real time (clock widget for example). apparently, the facebook widget doesn't update as often as you like is the real problem (don't know as i don't use it). i'm sure there are others that you can find that might.

Interesting, I have since added the widget again, yes facebook is enabled in Accounts, and freshly synced. Facebook app is freshly updated, and friendsteam app is freshly updated, and the widget will not show the latest post. infact it keeps returning to an older post (4 hours ago) (2 posts ago it seems). I don't know why, can't tell why.

Same problem...tried everything to get it to sync normally. Only uninstalling updates and clearing data and cache seem to work as this returns to stock fb setting. Then issues with contact images not loading. Also tried disabling sense app and running only market version.
Mine is also updated and last sync is 21 hours old for the widget. I also tried a fresh authorization from fb with HTC sense and nothing.
It does not update even if I force fb to refresh or force sync under accounts.
I have since wasted enough time on it..now that Facebook is going to build a phone with HTC, hopefully they can get sense to work as it should with fb updates installed. You are not alone..Google sense and fb for more info.
It just don't work right..still awesome phone though!
Lol reading the OP made me all nostalgic thinking about the first time I used my Android phone back in the G1 days. Things were tougher then. We had no on screen keyboard, no dock shortcuts, Facebook app still sucked, and had to walk uphill in the snow both ways. But it was still the greatest phone I'd ever had

Hi,
Im searching for an app, that puts x next calendar entries into the notification shade/bar as fixed items.
Like a daily agenda in your notifications.
And also I am always on the search for apps that make great use of androids notifications system.

Theres an app in the Play Store called "Notification Agenda (Notes)", is that what you are after?
AW: Agenda in notification bar?
Not really, it goes in the right direction, but it doesnt sync with google calenders.

Give StatusAgenda a try. It's currently in beta, but it offers an expandable persistent notification showing up to 2 weeks of upcoming calendar events, from all calendars currently active on your device.

No problem.
A recent update to Google Calendar changed the interface when entering a new event - it shows a square on the calendar page that can be moved, extended etc. This works on my Oppo and Xiaomi phones but does not seem to work on my OnePlus Pro 7. It still shows the old interface which consists of a new page for a new event with no calendar grid. Can anyone confirm that it works on theirs? I am trying to work out if it is my set-up on the OP or is it due to OP firmware. I have GM1917 just upgraded to 9.5.8.
Thanks
Can anyone who uses Google calendar confirm whether they see the new interface when entering an event on the OP7? This is really bugging me...
Thanks
Could you provide a screenshot of the issue?

I attach a screenshot of the interface when adding an event by tapping on the calendar grid. It's the same as the old one. However a recent update to the app changed it on my other phones such that you now get a box at the top of the screen on the calendar grid itself that can be moved around. For some reason it's not showing that on the OP7 even though the app is updated.
It's not a big deal but not understanding why it is different is bugging me ha ha... If someone can just confirm they get the box on the grid then I know it's my setup and not the phone.
Thanks
