Android App requests / Looking for an app that does X - thread

Hi all!

Anybody know of a good app that I could use and syn across my phone, tablet, and PC in terms of combining a calender with to do list and alarms...something with a widget too.

Evernotes been awesome just wish it had a more user friendly calender!
 
You can you Google calendar /Gmail.
I use the Business Calendar/Business Tasks on my Android stuff and the Gmail /Calendar/Tasks on PC

The problem I have is that android's mail app doesn't recognise outlook mail invites
 
Not sure I follow

When I get a meeting invite from outlook, it comes in like this on my android devices:

>
> BEGIN:VCALENDAR
> PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 14.0 MIMEDIR//EN
> VERSION:2.0
> METHOD:REQUEST
> X-MS-OLK-FORCEINSPECTOROPEN:TRUE
> BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
> TZID:South Africa Standard Time
> BEGIN:STANDARD
> DTSTART:16010101T000000
> TZOFFSETFROM:+0200
> TZOFFSETTO:+0200
> END:STANDARD
> END:VTIMEZONE
> BEGIN:VEVENT

I can't accept , reject, reschedule the invite. And it doesnt add to my calender.

My BlackBerry , which I am no longer using handles it like a dream. Why doesn't my smartphone?

Have you tried the new one, major updates to Gmail and GCal apps, GMail now natively supports exchange, yahoo and hotmail on top of gmail, stands to reason it will correctly understand exchange invites if it supports exchange mail.

ALso that has nothign to do with the calendar app, you cannot go blaming the calendar when its clearly the email app at fault. The ivite is emailed to you, said mail client has no idea what to do with it, how do you expect that to ever go as far as your calendar.

Whatever the case, the fact is that android cannot handle calendar invites is an issue that needs to be resolved. Whether its the calender app that us not registering itself as the default app for that file type or that the mail app is faulty, this is part of the Google eco system and something is borked.

Don't know which versions you are using, but mine is working like a dream!
 
Dear all,

Is there a free printing app that allows you to print to network printers via wifi (downloaded documents like pdf's mostly)? The ones I find requires an in-app purchase of R129.

Why not just use cloudprint. Comes with all androids. I used it to print from my phone to my printer.
 
Depends on the printer, Canon for example have apps that let you print, scan, copy etc. From your phone
 
Amazon had a few print apps for free a few days ago.
 
Share notes with other people when I update the note they get a notification kind of like the synced calendars which people can subscribe to
 
Is there a free app that will check my galaxy s2 then allow me to choose which files I can send to the memory card? I know you can set the apps to automatically go to card but want to make sure files like pictures or music are stored there too. I do not have a rooted phone and don't know how to root so a normal app from the play store will have to do.
