[Q]Default reminder time on i9300 calendar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the i9100 one thing that bugged me was the lack of being able to enter a default reminder time for new calendar entries.
Is this the case on the i9300 as well? I find it annoying as I dont want to forget to set a reminder by accident and miss an appointment or something.
Been using the AOSP calendar for now.
Thanks

On a related note can AOSP calendar be installed on a none AOSP rom on the i9300

In S Planner, you can set the default reminder time under Settings. It's in the "Event Notification" section.

So I take it the stock calendar still lacks the option. Don't understand why Samsung won't add this

LauncherPro notifications

Hey guys
I got the SGSII a few days ago and downloaded LauncherPro because I like the app tray to be vertical like the Nexus S.
Anyway, I have a "Messaging" shortcut on my homepage. The problem is that when I get a new message and have not looked at it, it does not show a little notification beside the icon (like a small "1" if I have 1 unread message).
Is there something I can do to fix this? It also does this with my emails (my email icon is one of the dock icons). I have "Unread SMS count" checked in LauncherPro preferences but it still does not work.
Thanks,
Elliott
This is from the the LP website...hope it helps...
Please note that for these notifications to work, you must either use the corresponding LauncherPro-style icon, or have the shortcut set for the stock phone/messaging app. It should work with other apps as long as you use the LauncherPro icon, and it should work with custom icons as long as you use the stock apps. Support for 3rd party apps with custom icons *might* come in the future but it’s not certain yet.
Thanks.
I do have a shortcut set for the stock messaging app and still doesn't work. No custom icons...
Elliott
you have gone into menu>preferences>dock settings and ticked the notifications for unread sms count havent you?
Ive a custom icon linking to handcent and its working fine with a little red 1 when i have an unread text.

I believe the newest version of Gmail "broke" the mail notofication in both ADWLauncher and LauncherPro. The ADWNotifier description says the following: "Since Gmail app updated to 2.3.5, we can no longer receive the unread count data. I'll try to find an alternative. " Nothing from LauncherPro so far.

From the LauncherPro site: I just received some pretty sad news. The API that LauncherPro uses to access your Gmail messages (used on the Gmail widget and the Gmail dock notifications) is being removed in the next version of the Gmail app for Android 2.2 and higher. Apparently the API does not meet modern security standards.
What this means for LauncherPro users is once you update to this new version, your LauncherPro Plus Gmail widget, and LauncherPro Gmail dock notifications will stop working, and even potentially crash the launcher if you try to use them (I don’t have access to this upcoming version yet, so I cannot fully test it).
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that the Android team will come out with a revised API soon enough, so that we can re-gain our Gmail integration in LauncherPro.

Yes I have. And yes I've read that it seems to work for Handcent but not for the stock messaging app.

Exactly. Thank you. But my email is also not working in the dock...just using the stock email app with Hotmail.
Bump...anyone?
The latest gmail update changed the api structure so that all gmail notification apps (even launcher pro and touchwiz 4.5).
We have to wait for those apps to be updated to the new system.

[Q] How to keep notifications in status bar until SMS or e-mail read?

I would like to make the notifications stay on my status bar until I actually read the SMS or the e-mail. There are times where I don't have time to read a long e-mail or answer a test at that instant but I would like to be reminded to read it later by leaving the notification on the status bar.
As soon as I open the SMS app or the e-mail or gmail app, the notification goes away.
For bonus points: any way to have the number of unread messages next to the icon in the menu? I found one way to do it for sms but it's a widget and I prefer having my icons on a dock.
Just putting this out there: I would love to have this for Gmail and Google Voice as well.
I'm so sorry for this poor answer but sassibob did a review for an app that let you set reminders in your status bar, in don't remember the name of it tho
Swyped from just about every ROM in the HD2 section

Why open the SMS app if you're not going to read it?
Anyway, use GoLauncher or LauncherPro or Launcher 7 if you want a little number next to the SMS app to tell you how many unread messages are present. You can't get this for Gmail because Google axed the API, and you won't find it for Google Voice either as far as I know.
Thanks guys! Will check those out!

On my old phone I used to leave them unread so that the notification was there to remind me to answer them later. LauncherPro did exactly what I wanted! Now if only it did that for the app drawer too...
He actually left one out, adw launcher also leaves the numbers of unread SMS,email, and other stuff, but you must download adw notifier along with the launcher

Adw sucks IMO though, plus you need the launcher plus an addon..

Adw is awesome the addon means nothing it still functions plus adw has more customizations. Lp is great also, but u have to pay for donate to resize widgets, also adw lets u change icons natively

I tried out the ADW notifier and the problem remains that the number goes away as soon as you launch the messages app or e-mail even if you don't open the message. LP wins this battle. Plus, I have a clean home screen so widgets don't apply to me personally

[Q] calendar widget

Hi everyone
I recently changed to touchwiz ux launcher, coming from launcherpro. I was wondering if there was any widget like the go calendar widget, meaning a scrollable month overview, a little mark on the days with an appointment, and possibility to click on the days to make/view an appointment then. Thanks in advance
I would suggest you take a look at Jorte Calender:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte
thanks, yeah i saw that but haven't really tried, but if i'm right that's a whole calendar app, so can this widget show the appointments of the stock app? or maybe if i sync with google in both apps... if anyone knows advice is still welcome, but i'll give that a try soon
just for the record, i've just found android pro widgets, it's calendar widget does exactly what i want, if anyone else has the same problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core

You can sync it with google to show the same appointments as the stock app. But android pro widgets is a good hint, looks promising. Maybe i can use it for myself.
thank you for this!! finally a go calendar like widget (better actually) that works at higher DPI resolutions !! (SIII at 240dpi)

"Themer Calendar" issue

This happens on every Theme
When you click on the Calendar widget hotspot/text and Themer asks you what Calendar to use, and you select your Calendar of choice, every time you click on that hotspot/text instead of launching the Calendar you chose it tries to "create new event". This happens regardless of the Calendar chosen.
In order to make the widget function properly, I have to manually edit the widget to directly launch my Calendar app instead of launching "Themer Calendar"
This makes Themer unbearable to use for me as many widgets have several text spots that launch "Themer Calendar" and I have to edit them all in order to avoid this behavior. I have mentioned this problem months ago but nothing has been done to rectify this.
Galaxy Note 3 running stock 4.4.2 (unrooted)
Please look into this, I cannot use Themer without being frustrated until this is fixed.

Hi,
We have found the cause of this problem, and have a ticket to fix it queued up.
If you have more than one calendar app, then after you choose one, tapping on a Calendar Themer Action icon or hotspot will always open the New Event instead of going to the calendar. If you disable or uninstall one of the duplicate calendar apps, then this won't happen.
This may also be related to the New SMS issue. Basically the same issue, just with the SMS app instead. The developers are still looking into this however.
We hope this helps!

In order to disable the default calendar app, I would need to be rooted, so that is not an option for me. Looking forward to a fix, and thank you for responding. I'll go up the GP rating to 4 stars for the response, 5 stars after it's fixed.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 11 Sec Calendar apk with forward invite option

Hi All, I am really impressed with the Samsung stock Splanner apk which has got the "forward invite" option for calendar schedule.
I don't see that option in cyanogenmod sec calendar apk. Can anyone please release a new sec calendar apk with the "forward invite" option.
Thanks.
