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.

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

Hey all I've been on Android for a little under a year now and if there's one thing I don't like, it's been the e-mail experience. I can't find any mail app outside of the ridiculously priced Maildroid Pro that has what I'm looking for (and I don't even think what I'm looking for is unreasonable!).
Here's what I'm looking for in a mail app:
- Non-ugly icon (I'm looking at you K-9)
- Clean interface
- Support for both Hotmail and GMail with no issues and push notification (Evomail)
- Loads all images in e-mails by default, or at least with the option to turn this feature on (a lot of apps don't)
- Has an informative widget that displays the subject and brief bit of the body in it (SolMail has a useless widget that displays too little info and Evomail has NO widget unbelievably)
I'd be perfectly happy with the default Mail and GMail app (either or) on my Nexus 4 if it wasn't for the fact that neither of them display images automatically, and I have to click on "show all images" all the time. It's annoying. I'm not sure why all this is so difficult, especially when I had no problems with e-mail when I was on iOS. Is there anything anyone can recommend?

The default Mail and GMail app's style of widget is all I need. Subject, brief lines of body, done. The lines of the body should be changeable by the user. I actually use 5 rows of icons with Nova Launcher and would prefer 5x4, but as long as it's resizable just like the stock app I'm fine with it.

oops, sorry for late update.
We added resizable and scrollable widget on SolMail.(actually it's 2.0 update on May). It can be extended to the tablet size!
Thank you for your valuable suggestion.
I'm using Cloudmagic now, so far I have liked it. The only downside for you could be that the widget is quite simplistic. Anyway for me it works because I usually use the notification area to peek at new mails.
Oh and is really beautiful.

Hi all,
I have a couple of strange issues using Google calendar on my HTC u11.
1.
When a press new event button I see a 'flat' interface instead of classic one.
See screenshots attached please.
On my Nexus 7 (same accounts, same calendars, same application version) all appear normally.
2.
I cannot swipe to delete event. Swipe gesture doesn't work.
On my Nexus works perfectly.
I tried of course to clear calendar data, install fresh but nothing.
Latest Google calendar version installed of course.
Recently updated ota 1.27 but the same.
Anyone is experiencing same issued?
Thx
Not sure what you mean by flat interface, however just created an event and can swipe to delete and short swipe to tap trash can to delete. Both ways work just fine. Im on Sprint 1.28. and latest as well.
All works normal for me. Leedroid.

I will change calendar app awaiting a fix ever if it's a Google calendar bug in some situations
After a lot of experiments, finally I discovered what is causing the issue.
It's an app called Nougat Quick settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles
It need accessibility permissions to allow it to create custom tiles in the quick settings bar.
I have contacted app developer that confirms this bug.
Once disabled accessibility permissions, Google calendar works fine but custom tiles stop working.
I hope this is useful to others having similar issues.
BTW Ty all for your support.

You can get custom tiles with shortcutter by @LeeDroid mate. Try it out. It doesn't interfere with any other App like GCalendar

At a glance does nothing for me except for display the clock. I have an event coming up and get regular Google Now traffic alerts but they never show up in the widget. Both settings are on. Any ideas?
Same thing. I long press and preferences and both options are set
Same problem here, but I can't even long press the widget to get preferences. There also isn't an option for at a glance when I go into home settings.
Did a little testing. They seem to only show on gmail (possibly only primary calendar) and within 30 minutes of the event. Not very useful. Should just pull the next event

That sucks. Maybe it'll get fixed. I remember when the first Pixel came out, the weather widget only displayed the date until Google pushed an update that got the weather to actually appear.

Yikes. This does not sound good. I just posted on another thread asking if when you tap the event does it go to the base calendar or into that specific entry (which means you can't get to the calendar list from it... Gcal needs to fix that). I guess it's even worse if it won't show events.
I hope they fix it. In the meantime, at least there is a knockoff widget (another calendar widget) that is super customizable.

My problem with that... If a widget goes right into a calendar event, hitting the x in the corner or the back arrow all exit the calendar app. No button / gesture can get you to the list of events or various views in the calendar app proper. So short sighted IMO.

Did a little testing. They seem to only show on gmail (possibly only primary calendar) and within 30 minutes of the event. Not very useful. Should just pull the next event

Only the primary calendar would render it useless to me anyway, since my schedule includes events from many different calendars. My phone has been delivered, but I've not had a chance to unbox so not been able to test this yet.
Ah well, the lack of customisation (such as both this widget and the search bar being fixed) meant I wasn't really planning on using the stock launcher anyway. This would just leave me one fewer thing to regret about that.
Glad to see I'm not the only one having this problem. I've enable/disabled/restarted the phone with no avail. It hasn't shown a single event or traffic update yet for me even though I have lots of google calendar events and daily traffic updates in google maps.
No luck here as well

I'll concur. Google has left themselves a lot of room for future developmental improvements.
Same here. No calendar events that are coming from Exchange server are shown. But I tried to create an event in the calendar directly on the phone and it showed up immediately. Pretty disappointing, as it's useless when only event created on the device will show. So far my experience been there is a bug after bug with this phone. Frequent app crashes with multiple apps, and especially the camera.
