Hi everyone,
I use Google Calendar and Google Tasks for all my calendars and to-do lists, and I'm getting sick of the stock calendar app that comes with my phone (Galaxy S). What I need is a Calendar app that I can have events that run weekly, but on more than one day each week (e.g. going to the gym on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays each week), which I can't do in the stock app. Also, I've been using Google's Custom Birthdays and Anniversaries calendar to get my Contacts' Birthdays to my phone calendar (sets them as all-day events), but these aren't syncing at all with the stock calendar app.
In terms of a widget, I've been using the free Android Agenda Widget, however this seems exceptionally slow at syncing with new calendars, taking at least a few days to sync with my Google Calendar. Does anyone know if it syncs with the calendar on the phone (which itself syncs with Google Calendar), or whether it syncs with Google Calendar itself. The reason I ask is that if it syncs with an app (stock Calendar) that doesn't sync correctly itself, then it's doomed to fail. What other good Calendar widgets are there, with Agenda views - I don't like to pay for something unless I KNOW it's good, and I've never bought a paid app yet. Is Pure Calendar Widget really good?
Finally, I'd like a way of setting LONG, AUDIBLE alarms (much like the stock alarm clock) for some events in my calendar, namely all the events in Google's Birthday Calendar. Having a notification in the notification bar doesn't really cut it for me, I'm afraid. What I'd really like is when a Birthday gets added to the Birthday Calendar, for an alarm to automatically be added such that it goes off at a specific time (the Birthdays are all-day events, so a way to set the time of the alarm would be awesome
)
Hope I'm not asking for too much
God bless everyone
