As far as I'm aware, I think Astrid does. I've only ever used Astrid and Any.Do. But you should be able to see the feature list on the Play Store. If you're looking exclusively for calendar integration, I think you should check out Gtasks
[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
I guess that's another one I'll have a look at, but the thing is that I'm looking for a daily planner, which is also a task manager so I can build to-do lists into my schedule, while also having a good schedule app, if that makes any sense. Kind of an all-in-one type of thing with as much versatility / features as can be packed in.
[Android Apps and Games] madgooner2810:
Then, in my opinion, your best bet would be Astrid with the paid locale add on.
[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
I've spent the last few hours messing around with Astrid today (not the locale plug in though) and found that it lacks the ability to make a reoccuring checklist or at least subordinate lists (ie a task with a list of tasks contained within it) which is one of the most important features that I'm looking for. Unless I just haven't found the right way to do it, if I wanted to make a recurring checklist for cleaning the house, for example, I'd have to enter in each separate cleaning item as its own task which would be cumbersome and also would start filling up my inbox with old tasks pretty quickly if I decide to defer some items off a week or two.

I guess now the question is what would be your second recommendation, if any, while keeping in mind the need for checklists / subordinate tasks? Do any of the other apps like Doit.im, Shuffle, or DGT GTD (all of which have subordinate lists, but not checklists a la remember the milk, and all of which I've tried, but not been able to use successfully for one reason or another) have locale-type add-ons?

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] madgooner2810:
You talk about a requirement for a multi-level checklist, unless I'm mistaken, is it the same as the one in the first screenshot of Astrid's Google Play page? Doit.im, Shufle and DGT GTD do not seem to have location add ons, but I did come across another app which might interest you :- "2Do: To do List | Task List" It's for about 6.99 USD and it does seem to have all features EXCEPT location based notifications. My advice would be to fully explore/understand Astrid and then buy the add on if you're interested. I still think it has the necessary feature (sublists) , I am downloading the app and figuring out how to do the same, if I find a way, I'll post it here.

EDIT: To make subtasks, create the two seperate taks (for example let the main one be clean room and the subtask be make the bed), then longpress make the bed and drag it to the the faint grey divider you can see between every task, when you drag it there, you may notice that make the bed got indented to the right and that should make your subtask list! You can verify if your subtask has been included by checking the main task, in this case, clean the room, and if both clean the room and make the bed get checked out you should have understood the whole process. Similarly, you can add more subtasks, say vaccuum the floor, by longpressing and dragging it to the divider just below the main task. Hope I Helped!

alternatively you can check this website out for more help: blog.astrid.com/how-do-i-create-subtasks/
[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
I appreciate the help so far. I'm once again moving away from Astrid because I can't seem to get the subtasks to reoccur as subtasks on a daily / weekly schedule. I'm a manager at a restaurant, so I tried to put together a store closing checklist, which worked fine the first day, but when I set it to repeat for the second day, it did not retain the subtasks as subordinate to the main task and mixed them all in with other tasks I'd created. In addition to this problem, I've been unable to get any tasks that I create to sync with my calendar, even when enabling the GTasks sync and then having GTasks sync with my calendar, which again means that a primary function is not working as needed, or at least I have not been able to figure it out.

I'm going to have a look at 2Do to see what its got going for it, but I'm starting to feel like a lot of the apps that we've discussed so far, while still decent apps which are well written, are not going to present me with the catch-all I was hoping for.
[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
On a side note, I have found that more apps are starting to include location based reminders, but they often come with fatal flaws for my desired use. MyLifeOrganized has location based reminders, but the only way to sync it to my calendar is to use either the cloud based sync or the desktop program both of which cost extra money and, from what I've read, create a system where getting tasks to appear in your calendar is hit or miss at best.

I've also noticed a distinct lack of proper calendar integration in everything I've tried. Some are able to put a task on the calendar, but if I want to be able to attach a to-do list to an appointment or time block, which is possible from what I understand about the calendar code, there just isn't any kind of option beyond making the appointment and then making a task which is due at the same time. Maybe I'm asking too much of these apps?
[Android Apps and Games] madgooner2810:
You ARE asking for a for a really feature heavy app. I guess what you require isn't just available in one single app right now. Maybe if you would be willing to combine 2 or 3 apps to get the job done you could achieve what you need. I'm sure app devs will add more features, but as of now I guess all apps I can suggest are insufficient for your needs. If you want, I can tinker around a bit and see what apps you can use as a combination?
[Android Apps and Games] treblesum81:
I am willing to combine apps, but only if they are interlocking, or at least very easy to use together. Trying to juggle 2-3 different sets of tasks / appointments / calendars just seems like it would be too cumbersome for me to stick with it, which is ultimately going to be the deciding factor about how successful the app(s) are for my needs. If I have to re-enter a new set of checklists, or even re-subordinate each subtask every time I want a checklist to repeat, I'm not going to use it very long. Just like if I have to do triple-entry bookkeeping to have an appointment or project deadline, plus have that project have a to-do list associated with it, and also have trouble integrating everything into a single calendar, I'm not going to use it very long. If any of that makes sense?

Just ordered my phone from BestBuy since they don't carry the titanium in stock

If anyone is looking for a great deal that's if you signed up for the $50.00 bestbuy reserve gift card they are price matching the amazon $169.99 price then if you use the gift card on checkout that leaves the phone at a price of $119.00.

Not a bad deal if i'd say

I did the same and got the same deal on Monday! Great deal!

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peterke83:
hi, I recently installed the cyanogenmod 7 on my wifes phone.

Everything worked fine until today. It seems that it's losing data connection after some time. The only thing to make it work again is reboot it.

The phone also did it when it was on stock rom and unrooted.

Is there something to do about this or is this a known problem ?

grtz, Peter

[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I'm curious if there is an affect on your buying decision after reading the reviews.
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
I so want this phone but all this talk about the display not being up to par has put some doubt in my mind now as to whether I go through with purchasing the Z. GSM arena and Phone Arena share similar views regarding the display, which I wasn't expecting.

I will be taking a look at the device at my local phones4u, and if I find the screen to be disappointing I will unfortunately cancel my order. I really really really hope this wont be the case though.
[Xperia Z General] mynameisthehulk:
Yeah wavering here...
[Xperia Z General] robogo1982:
What is there in those reviews that would put me off from buying one?

Problems with camera images? Not that big of a deal, I don't make photos with my phone for a living. Lag? I doubt there is any. Battery life? People report a whole day of medium to heavy usage, which is what I get from my Galaxy S3 anyway. Build quality? It's waterproof, I don't mind having to open flaps every time I want to plug in my headset.

What else is there?
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Where is the option "i dont care about reviews, i want it and im gonna get it regardless" ? :)

I dont trust reviews. Note 2 and S3 were reviewed as the best phones even - and i'm really disappointed by those two. It's funny how reviewers sometimes ignore obvious flaws about one phone, but riot about a tiny detail in another. Reviews are not objective - so i don't really care about them. It's nice to read and compare opinions, but i always prefer to just get the phone and decide for myself.

So unless at least 5-10 review say something really bad about the battery ( like not lasting a full day even on light use, which is not the case ) i'm not going to even think about cancelling.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I think most are worried about the screen, every thing else seems okay/perfect (some may not like the camera)
[Xperia Z General] Ashalak:
I have a pre-order for mine but I am a little worried.. The camera from what I've seen looks perfectly decent, and it's bound to be better than my HOX which kinda sucks compared to my last iPhone. My one concern is the display which is a pretty big deal breaker, I actually had a quick play with one in a Three store yesterday and the display was very wishy washy (Even after I had turned it down from max brightness). Originally everyone had said this was purely an issue with pre-production panels, but after the reviews claiming to be on retail devices this had worried me even more.

Think I'm going to pop into a P4U store as well to have a play, maybe there is more chance of those being full retail units seeing as they're available a little after.. Who knows!
[Xperia Z General] kakkaroto:
I'm still getting it, I've seen the phone in a couple of three stores and didn't see any problems with the display, but then I'm not particularly picky.
[Xperia Z General] maverick1103:
I'm still getting it, my main reasons are:

Camera. I know Sony make decent camera phones, I have a Note 2 which is fairly decent, not brill in low light scenarios, not as good as my HOX was.

Build quality. My last two phones, S3 and Note 2...enough said!

Screen. I miss my HOX LCD screen, AMOLEDS are just a bit too false!

Size. My current phone is the Note 2, it's the only negative side of it, it's too big for one handed use nothing else. Looking forward to getting a phone that I can use with one hand comfortably again.

So I'm still getting it! :)
[Xperia Z General] Super Chimp:
Screen aside I am getting concerned about the camera performance, I don't expect it to completely match up to the 920 but I was hoping it would be reasonably close.
[Xperia Z General] Q.Entity:
Reviews are irrelevant. Go play with the phone at a Sony store once it becomes available and decide for yourself.

Reviewers have their own agendas...
[Xperia Z General] Warrimonk:
I was planning on getting the ZL if it came out before the end of February or first week of March..... However Sony announced that Canada isn't getting the ZL till April.... And on top of that all of the issues with the inconsistent screen reviews have made me decide to just wait . Since Sony decided to force me to wait till April the logical thing to do is wait for info on the s4/Optimus g pro/ m7 / xphone, and reevaluate the market at that time
[Xperia Z General] pongnamu:
I am still getting it. Lets hear reviews of international version first aT feb 28, and lets see. :)
[Xperia Z General] -]Megacharge[-:
Really wanted to get this phone, but it's not coming to Canada until April. That's just too far away and sadly I am forced to go another route. I really did want this phone though...
[Xperia Z General] AwesomeAHlee:
the display doesn't look bad in this vid(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFEzXilA8B8) IMO, but why is bottom bar gray instead of black (where the home, and back button are)?
[Xperia Z General] jonatton:
Was quite iffy since anything that offers a fHD resolution and no 3000mA+ battery doesn't get me interested much. But I guess this is a dealbreaker for me. Anywho, good luck to those who've ordered this! :cowboy:
[Xperia Z General] Al Gore:
I will wait for a full GSMarena review, then wait for it to appear in stores here and go test it myself and compare. The only problem for me could be bad color contrast.

Not amazing camera? - No problem for me, digital cameras are not amazing even if you stuck 9999 megapixels in them and super xmrozksda sensors. I take maybe 3 pics a month and those usually go to instagram where horrible filters and compression will make it look like a picture from 2006 anyway. If I want to make good pics I'll take my camera (or a friend will).

Bad viewing angles? - Again, the only time it will be a problem is when I let my mates to play games on it and will want to see how they are doing.

I just need a new phone kinda ASAP and Sony is releasing soon. The new HTC could be interesting for me but I'm not sure when it's coming out. I hate Samsung phones so GS4 is not an option either.
[Xperia Z General] jonatton:
^Why do you 'hate' Samsung? Color contrast of SAMLOED I'm guessing :confused:
[Xperia Z General] vivftp:
Getting the ZL, but it's more or less the same phone for the most part. Reviews aren't affecting my excitement to get it one bit. Can't wait for it to finally hit Canada!
[Xperia Z General] Riyal:
Getting the ZL also. I know our country was one of the mentioned ones to get this device on the 1st quarter but if it would reach till april then mostlikely HTC M7 would prolly steal 50% of my decision to go back to sony. I love Sense UI and not Sony UI but I decided to ditch HTC Butterfly and go with sony but if they let HTC M7 pass them again then bye2 and I'll stick with HTC. :( Sad because Sony was my 1st android phone coming from nokia when they ditched maemo OS over microsoft.
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Sony changed the colour of nav bar to grey to match the backgrounds.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
Really, that's stupid, but I guess it should be easy to make it black again. I like it when it matches the case
[Xperia Z General] Al Gore:
Don't like the brand, GS3's design (GS4 will probably be similar?) and Touchwiz.
[Xperia Z General] samxool:
I hate Samesung because they shamelessly copied the iPhone and produced a vastly inferior phone in the process (i'm looking at you Samesung Galaxy S3).
[Xperia Z General] -]Megacharge[-:
I'm so mad that the ZL is not being released in Canada until April.. wtf is Sony thinking? they're gonna lose so many sales, including my own.

[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
Thanks, I forgot to add i find some reviews biased be it car world phone world etc. Two examples every review generslly praises iphones only three things i praise on iphone is looks, screen and camera/video. I am no longer a fan of samsung but the BQ of the s3 and note 2 is better than iphones tbh, with their cracked screens when dropped etc.

I have seen people and reviews praise the iphone 5 build quality, sorry but my sister in law has one she hasnt dropped it once yet the top and bottom of the phones colour coating has peeled away just from putting the phone in her pocket, yet that is worth £530 but the xperia Z isn't? from what i have seen on the z looks/feels far better built.

I have read reviews stating the new toyota auris had rubbish handling was quite slow etc and i drove the car and apart from the iffy clutch i found the handling great and the car was quick.

[Xperia Z General] stiffi2011:
I mentioned in another thread I'm on the fence. Even moreso now. Darn it if HTC hasn't finally gotten their marketing machine together. They have me hooked.

At this point I'm going to wait. I went so far as to purchase a cheap Froyo phone to tide me over till MWC. The deciding factors for me are these:

1. M7 camera. If it has any improvements over the Z, I'll get the M7

2. Lumia 1000 (Nokia EOS) see point 1.

3. Release date. I'm impatient as heck, and I may just buy whichever reached North America first! ;)
[Xperia Z General] Ashalak:
From my POV I wouldn't have another HTC, having just come from a HOX it's a great phone but HTC as a company suck - Especially when it comes to any kind of support to the XDA or custom Android community for that matter! The device has been S-ON since it's release, they're still slow (As are Sony apparently) with updates and to top it off they just recently had an RUU website closed down.. All of which has left a bitter taste!

I quite like Samsung phone's but the build is shocking for such an expensive device, and as nice as the display can be it's so fake and so false with it's over-saturation.. Finally they're common as muck, which may be a good indicator to show how good the device is but I don't like to be a sheep.

That leaves Sony!
[Xperia Z General] Aka91:
Respect !

:good:
[Xperia Z General] 人云奕云:
Though the battery's bad and the screen is not so good as Sony want it to be -- trust me I've held the real phone in my hand. xperia z is still my first choice only if HTC M7 comes out a better android phone.

However, Xperia Z is THE most good-looking phone that's ever release, my point of view.

To those who are waiting for GS4, I just want to say, Does Samsung ever run out of plastic?
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
Everybody is good on the battery..only the screen s in question..which i think is the case of having a first hand look urself
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
saying Samsung phone has good build quality just sound all kinds of wrong to me, my S3 feels like a some cheap ass low end phone. Even some low end xperia or HTC feels much more solid.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
Tbh apart from the flimsy back cover, there was no creeks or any gaps between panels etc couldn't fault them.
[Xperia Z General] robogo1982:
No flimsy power button?
[Xperia Z General] Super Chimp:
My first GS3 back cover developed cracks around the camera lens after three or fourth months, the official replacement back cover I purchased did exactly the same thing except worse and in a quicker time.
[Xperia Z General] RCJ89:
Nope, never had any build issues with my s3 or note 2, Now please no more questions as I dont want to praise those ****e phones anymore :laugh:
[Xperia Z General] rapha.194:
why buy a phone that your screen .... your camera ... your battery and call quality is worse than s3 or iphone 5

Just because of its water-proof and dust?

Weird, mine felt fine and had hardly any scratches. And I didn't use any protective case either. Though I agree re: the looks, Sony/HTC looks much more premium - but you could get a good looking cover if you hate the looks that much.

[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
I really don't get this topic, or people who think like "this".

The best person that can review a product is you, why look at what someone else things/writes.

Many people say that the viewing angles are bad, would you cancel your pre-order just because of that? Many people don't give a DAMN about viewing angles, it's all about person experiences and opinions.

Another example: I believe it was the iPhone 4, when that phone came out there were reception problems or what ever, but how many reviews noticed that problem? It only became a problem after many people bought it.

The Galaxy S III(not sure) got micro cracks only after a few days/weeks of usage, how many reviews noticed that?

Reviews can be good and all, but they should only be seen as your guideline. In the end you should be the one that decides whether to buy a product or not.

Had a little go in the Three store today, it was turned up to 100% Brightness but I have to say, the colours do look a little washy in comparison to my Galaxy note, and blimey did it attract finger prints. The build quality and the feel in your hand was amazing though and I am pretty certain that with a few adjustments the screen will be just fine - still getting it.
