Alternatives for Samsung Calendar

Up front: I know... I know there are trillion sites with the best calendar apps... and so on.
Right now, on my Samsung Galaxy S10 I use the Samsung Calendar app. and Outlook on exchange basis.
Regretfully it stops synchronising, even though all settings are perfectly okay and manual sync does not work.

I am seeking another app, that does :
a. sync with Outlook
b. easy search for events a llllong time ago (events of 50 years ago, even 60)

In the Samsung Calendar app - to search for old events - I often need to tap on bar that says
"Show events before ... date", I need to tap 40-50-60 times.

Now.. the following is important...

when I launch Edge or Chrome on smartphone and :
- long in on Google search
- go to the nine-dots at the top of the Google Search page
- select Calendar there
- then tap on 'Desktop' at the bottom (view Mobile|Desktop)
- set to 'list view'

of course everything is displayed in a tiny font, almost unreadable
- increase size a bit and flip the smartphone 90 degr, so the text is more 'readable'
- tap on the 'search/magnifier' button left of the date
- enter a keyword of whatever old calendar entry
and it will show up in a split second.

That is really great!

Except then that AFAIK this is not possible within neither the Google Calendar app normal view (no search button)and certainly not with the Samsung Calendar app.

Big question: are there any Android apps around that can do this?

Thanks!

brightness full up super easy shortcut somehow?

I'm in bed using my tablet. I turn its brightness right down. Next day, I go to the beach. I can't use my tablet, can't see a thing. I hopelessly/blindly try swiping down twice, or with two fingers, then stabbing where I think the brightness bar might be. I tried using my jacket to cover my head and tablet, didn't work. I could not use my tablet without going inside somewhere to be able to see just enough to turn the brightness up. Android itself should have something to deal with this problem. It doesn't it seems. But is there an app to fix it? Like, four taps on the screen or something (or some other simple not requiring any screen buttons method), to turn brightness up to full. Thanks.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Update

I don't think I've ever seen a beta test go to a 6th beta, but here we are with the S23 Ultra One UI 6/Android 14 beta test and it's buttery smooth. Bugs seem to have been resolved and I'm confident that a final, stable release is just a couple of weeks away. A few nice touches with the UX, and I'm sure it will be a hit when it's released.

UPDATE: now on the 7th beta and it's even smoother, faster, better!

UPDATE: now there's an 8th beta rolling out!!!

UPDATE: this is getting crazy - 9th beta is smooth and fast! No real bug fixes, but mostly optimization. Rumor has it that Samsung is trying to get the stable release rollout done by the end of the month.

How to copy lat/long in Google Map

In Google Maps on my Android, I know when I click on a place on the map, it shows lat/long in the search bar. But how do I COPY the lat/long?

All the forums I have read seem to have old info. They say to click on the lat/long values to copy. But when I click on the lat/long (that is now in the search bar), it changes to the address. Some of the old info also says to swipe up to see more data but again, that area now shows the address, not the lat/long.

My opinion of Amfilm S23+ screenprotector

Here is what I think about it so far,
It comes with 1 replacement, life-time warranty of 2 more screen protectors.

Putting it on:
1. Fingerprint sensor perfectly working.
2. mounting frame was very easy to use.
3. touch is slightly harder around the edges, but turning increased sensitivity to touch solved that.

Enjoy choosing your next screen protector <3.

Help App to answer calls/messages from unknown/hidden numbers with voice/text message?

Hello,

As a simple way to handle robocalls, I'm looking for an application that, without ringing, would answer the call/text message with a voice/text message "I don't asnwer calls/messages from unknown/blocked numbers. If you wish, leave a voice message or send a text message.", and hang up.

As a safety measure, a notification would still be a good idea just in case.

I assume those apps already exist: Which one would you recommend, preferably (ad-)free?

Thank you.

Need a recommendation for Android

Hello,

I'm looking for a new mobile phone. It must have 10,000+ mAh, be under 6.5 inches, and fall within the price range of 200-500 euros. It should not have any technical issues.My current phone is the Blackview 10000 Pro (it's over 3 years old, and I was happy with that mobile). So, if you have any suggestions for what would be the best one for that price?

Thank you in advance.

Searching for a Desktop that could handle Android Studio

So, I am currently working on a WEAK 8gb ram office computer and it obviously cannot handle Android Studio (running my apps, and opening the emulator, functioning fast is all a struggle)

I'm in a search for a new desktop and I don't want to make a mistake so here are some specs I found and I'm curious is they are any good
Sorry it's not English but y'all can understand it

I'll be looking for more but these are the most common specs

Issues with signing app on Android Studio

I am just at the end of my app development cycle but unfortunately I can't sign the app bundle to upload it to the play store. When I attempt to use the "Generate signed APK" function it throws up this error message after I've put in the details of the keystore and moved on:
