I'm using Android WITHOUT a data plan on my Verizon xv6900 smartphone. The one annoying problem I have is the lack of a good calendar function. Since I'm not using data, I can't sync with Google calendar etc.
I have tried probably 15-20 different calendar apps and they all have one annoying trait in common: I can't schedule repeat appointments on the days of the week, ex. on every 2nd Tuesday. Almost all allow you to repeat appointments on the numerical day (ex. the 8th of every month), but not on the day of the week.
Does anyone know of a good calendar app that can schedule repeat appointments on the day of the week, not on the number?

Hi
When i have appointments in my calender, i get a notice on my today screen with my first upcoming appointment. But now i've got no upcoming appointments these next days, i get a message of a appointment next friday! A little early for a reminder i think! Is it possible to set a maximum number of daus in advance a message is shown? thx
same thing happens here. i havent found an option to change it as of yet. getting a reminder 7 days ahead of time is kinda pointless.
Take a look at PocketBreeze.
You can configure it to see just about any amount of various PIM events (Appointments, Meetings, Tasks, Birthdays & Anniversaries, Contacts, etc.) on the Today screen.
Plus it allows you to add custom tabs and see any other Today screen plugins on a tab within PocketBreeze.
(And, yes - I'm biased. I moderate there! )
Anybody got a solution to fixing the MS Calendar?
When i make appointments, lets say i sync'd the appointments to GMT+9, then next week i go to GMT+10, all my appointments are shifted 1hr forward.
Any fixes that will prevent that from happening? i just want to schedule my appointment Via 1 timeline regardless of timezone.
Hi folks,
I've spent the last 8 hours organising all of my contacts getting their email addresses, phone numbers and birthdays all up-to-date on my Google Apps 'Contacts', and synced via Exchange to my mobile. Lovely jubbly. However, their birthdays never got transferred into my phone's calendar (which kind of defeated the point of me adding them all to the contacts!). So I downloaded and ran 'B2C' (Birthday to Calendar) which worked beautifully.
Only there's one issue - the reminder time that's been set for all of these recurring all-day events is 2 hours, which would mean that I'd only be reminded about each persons' birthday at 10pm the night before (which, to be honest, isn't ideal when a card and present are in order!).
So I was wondering if there was any way of changing the reminder time of each and every recurring all-day event in my calendar (since the birthdays are the only recurring all-day events I have in there) to 3.5 days instead of 2 hours? Can I run a batch script or something to do the job?
Trying to avoid having to use Outlook if I can, since I'm on a Mac and it'll be a pain in the arse trying to get all of that set up and working properly on my VM.
Cheers!
Maybe I am missing something here, but I look at my Cal and none of my all day events in any of my Cals are showing.
Stock or alternative app? In calendar or widget?
No problems here. My calendar contact's birthdays are showing up just fine and they are all day events.
stock cal. looking in the week, day and month views dont show the all day events.

Added on the Xoom, added on Google on line?
Sync on in Accounts & Sync settings for your gMail account?
This was user error. Somehow I got put 6 months ahead and didn't have any all day events scheduled.
Hi all,
I'm after some help please and I will try and explain everything as simple as possible; I have lived with this for several months however I've decided to try and find a solution for my issue I have, which is receiving duplicate calendar notifications for an event/appointment etc.
After searching the net for last few days I've not found a solution.
Basically my set up is as follows:
Up until a week ago I was running MM stock, no root on my S7 edge, with S Planner for my Gmail account and Nine - Outlook for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en) for my office 365 work account and now I'm running the Nougat Beta, no root, with the same Apps.
Some background info:
Before installing Nine I used the default email app for syncing my Office 365 work account, however it is very limited especially when using sub-folders and having rules created in Outlook on Windows App, I would receive an email on my PC and get an alert no problem however due to the default email app on Android not allowing notifications when emails are in a sub-folder it made me switch. Nine is expensive but worth the money to get notifications for sub-folders alone.
Therefore on to my problem:
Since using Nine if I set up an alert/appointment on my PC or using my phone when a notification comes up I get two notifications, one for default S Planner and one for Nine app, now I could simply disable the notification within Nine however the snooze function is far superior to S Planner and I would prefer to use that for work alerts etc.
For instance S Planner only allows snooze for a default period (I believe it is 5 or 10 mins) with no option to change this, so I can keep snoozing each time if I like, Nine however allows you to define a snooze period from 5 mins to 2 hours therefore I use Nine's snooze functionality especially as with work things are always changing therefore flexibility is better.
You may be thinking why not just use Nine and put up with the duplicate notifications, well I have for several months but now I'm setting a lot more alerts/appointments and it's now becoming a nuisance!
Ideally I want to be able to use S Planner as my default calendar app to view both my Gmail calendar and work calendar but have S Planner to alert me only for personal alerts and carry on using Nine to alert me for work related alerts, maybe I'm asking for too much but to me it seems quite simple.
Over the last couple of days I've tried a few things:
Disabled notifications within S Planner, installed the Google Calendar app and enabled notifications in there and then I enabled my work calendar in the Google Calendar app, however it does the same as with S Planner I'm still getting duplicate notifications, now just with Google Calendar and Nine! :crying:
It appears S Planner and Google Calendar app syncs between the two.
I can disable my work calendar in the Google Calendar app but it turns it off in S Planner therefore when I open my default calendar app (S Planner) I only now see personal information.
The Google Calendar app also has limited functionality with the snooze, I have tested this and it's very similar to S Planner, there are no options to change the default snooze or pop up when the alert appears.
Maybe I'm over thinking this and someone will hopefully point out something I haven't thought about, which I would be very grateful if someone can because it's driving me crazy!! Maybe there is a calendar app out there that allows you to view all your calendars but select individual calendar alerts, which is what I'm mainly after.
Thanks in advance and I hope this was comprehensible :good:
