Hi,

I've tried most of them and I find s-planner to be the best of the available options. acalendar is also quite good but I like the integration with touchwiz so it's s-planner for me

I think that also FranklinPlanner Note 10.1 (presently available only on SamsungApps store and not for all countries) could be an interesting choice (see this xda's thread)
Maybe the app is still a little juvenile and needs some improvements but it has a great UI and design (tough rather complex to learn) and a greater integration with handwritten notes than S Planner.

Second. I combine it with Google calendar and you can make a full page widget.

Resize it. I use Apex launcher. It's not a true full page.

What about Pocket Informant?
They were the only game in town worth mentioning in the Pocket PC days.

I use Touchdown Exchange. Looks a lot like Outlook,, also it supports categories, That is a feature most other calendars lack.
And it syncs to exchange, so if you have hotmail or outlook.com email, you are always synced!

Google calendar.
Nothing else i have ever used has come close to what it can do.
Best calendar widget goes to Android Pro Widgets, however.

I am using it on my phone and my tablet. I have been a user since the palm version and then the ppc. The current android version only shares the name with the good old one. I guess I am only using it for sentimental reasons

I am looking for a calendar that I can make notes on and save the file in say dropbox or box.com so if I make a change on one device it will show on my other device. I don't want to use google calendar because I want my calendar info to be private.
Any ideas?

Not sure how much this will help, but I use dropsync to sync the SNote folder between devices and the notes get synced up. It might be possible to find the calendar data folder and then sync that between devices.

I find myself using DigiCal. Love the clean look.

I'm pretty happy with the stock s calendar. I've tried using a few others, but the look and feel never quite felt as good.

Again - Touchdown Exchange. Switchable profiles, pin, etc etc.

I'm using S calendar - syncing from exchange and gmail
I have also FranklinPlaneer, but it's not so good like stock one

Touchdown tasks:
Does it support Task Categories yet?

Outlook calendar

Is it possible to accept/reject invites for meetings on the outlook calendar? In my calendar it just appears as a message which doesnt help ยก!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I've found that Touchdown manages calendar settings much better than the native app. It lets you look at your calendar before you accept and on the accept response dialgo box you can enter a response text.
Additionally, Touchdown handles the "propose a new time" properly including seeing all of the other users in the meeting on a calendar aka Outlook.
It's a shame that the appearance of the Touchdown calendar is pretty ugly. If they were to make it look more like the native calendar they'd have a real winner.
Thanks I will try it out..have a great day...

If I'm not mistaken, GT-P1000 is the original 7" tab running Froyo. You should post your questions on Galaxy Tab forum. This forum is for 10.1 tab running HoneyComb, totally different beast.
Thanks for the hint....

"Better" email app?

Ok, This isn't so much SGSIII specific, but it'll be a major use for my new toy, err, phone once it arrives. The standard google email app in ICS isn't all that great (based on my CM9 usage on a tablet), and it completely sucks if you happen to be off-line, despite having tons of storage space available.
So, does anyone have some recommendations? Primary desire is support for:
1. Exchange (2010). Ideally the ability to go out and search for older emails not stored locally, actually download attachments ahead of time and store them (WinMobile 6.5 could do this, why not Android), search (localy cached) emails while off-line.
2. Support for imap with similar off-line search and attachment downloading
The current email app works ok except for search. I know I'm tained by some of the easy features in the WinMobile email app (can you tell I'm upgrading from a Touch Pro2 ) Of course, the benefits of Android have had me running Gingerbread on the TP2, but that doesn't mean I find all the apps great.
Check out touchdown exchange in the playstore.
Maildroid handles exchange. Not sure about all of the other stuff you are looking for.
I briefly used the HTC One XL email app and that was far superior to the one that comes with the S3. The biggest issue for me is that I am unable to select what folders to sync to my phone.

Maildroid only does WebDAV, it doesn't use ActiveSync which is the one most Exhange Servers use.
Touchdown or Moxier will be your best bet.

Thanks all. Taking a look at Enhanced email (there's a 7 day trial version). Looks pretty similar to the base app, so still feeling out the differences.
Any others? Another feature I've been hunting is a calendar viewer that will grab the attachments that people put into meeting invitations
Another vote for touchdown. I think it's unbeatable for exchange email.

What's wrong with the stock mail app on the GS3? While not quite as good as the one on the HTC One X, it's up there and everything works the way you expect. You can even set it to show images by default, unlike the stock ICS app. It's similar to the Samsung e-mail app in Gingerbread with a few subtle changes and has a way better interface than Touchdown.
I have never had issues with Samsung's email app.

One thing I noticed today was that mail that has already been deleted from the server is still retained by the email app. The app on the Nexus would delete those automatically.
I just tested this. I deleted 2 emails from my Gmail account through my PC Web browser and watched them disappear off of my GS3, right in front of my eyes. We're talking not even 1 second.

Not the gmail app, the email app.
My only issue with the email app is how slow it is compared to many others - including the GS2 email app. Not only that, but every time I hit the home button from the email, everything has to refresh on my home screen. Gets old to watch everything refresh.

I'm talking about the email app. I have Gmail set up as an activesync exchange account, so all of my mail is in one place. My work email account behaves the same. No issues.

I hate all of these. I am an extensive Exhange user and tried all but went back to stock. Each has it's strength and weaknes but the way Touchdown stores contacts and the outdated interface didn't work for me. I wish we had the Htc One email client and spell checker because it is far superior.
Is this an app than can be separated from Sense?
Aqua mail is nice
I think it has the exchange stuff you're looking for

On the Gmail app or the email app from htc?

I think it's a no brainer...it's on his HTC Email app. Google doesn't offer it (Yet). I use the Samsung Email app on my S3 and I love it. There litterally is no difference other than it's got a black background which is not a big deal. I can zoom in and out and read the whole email with ease. It totally, for me, removes any desire to use the native Gmail app.
If you switch, make sure you turn of notifications in the Gmail app.
As a side note, I'm a purist of sorts. I love my GNex in all it's glory, but needed this S3 Beast. I don't like all the bloatware but their Email app is nice.

Nexus 4 Facebook sync

Hi All
I would like to know how to sync my contacts with Facebook. I need the profile pictures as contacts' picture.
Thanks for the help in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
best sync app i know of
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
HaxSync is hands down the best contact sync for facebook. It will let you pick how accurate names have to be (similar spelling or exact, and everything in between), cropping the face, if the picture they have is too big and all in HD (no low res pics). Also lets you sync facebook calendar and contacts birthdays into their contact card and their timeline statuses.

Thank you all. Why Facebook does this sync? Isn't there a setting for that?

There's a LOOOOOOONG running issue between FB and Google over all of this...Google it for more info as it's too long to get into here!
Just a quick question..
Does these apps incorporate all those Facebook contacts into our phone's contacts which aren't there at present?
As in I have a number of Facebook contacts which aren't on my phone and i don't even want them to sync.... Just want the pictures of people in my phone through Facebook.

Ditto this. Plus, it is easy and quick to manually add/change a profile picture from FB to Google contacts. And this actually works better since on occasion some people insist on having a goofy @SS profile pic.

Samsung has removed the support for syncing Google Bookmarks from their Browser, which is one of the stupidest things they have done. They now want you to use your Samsung account
