I've tried most of them. My favorites are:

Free - Android Agenda Widget

Paid - Pure Calendar Widget

Pure Calendar Widget I think is the best but it cost a couple dollars.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
+1 smooth calendar
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
Smooth calendar is the best for me...
[Nexus S General] Csquared:
I have also tried them all. I prefer Simple Calendar Widget for the next appointment view and then Launcher Pro for the agenda view.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Pure Calendar Widget
[Nexus S General] djorijun:
I like business calendar cause it reminds me of the Sense calendar widget, which was my favorite of all the calendar widgets.
[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
I am using Pure Calendar Widget, because it integrates with Got To Do, which is now defunct.
[Nexus S General] sjtscott:
another +1 for smooth calendar here!
[Nexus S General] Sk37cH:
I was going through many different Widgets for various tasks. And then I tried launcher. It cut 10mb off my ram usage, also adds resisable Widgets (standard aswel), has a nice calander widget (I specifically bought it for this) and ads some sick customization. It is very stable too. Please note that this app completely replaces the stock launcher, and so will not even be cached on startup. There is a free version to try, but it is minus the Widgets you seek, but does have screen shots of them (in app). Sory if this seems off topic, but its just another consideration to take in with all the other very helpful suggestions.

Dunno about the HTC calendar but I'm using Android Agenda Widget which is very customizable, integrates with Astrid and GTasks (which in turn integrated with Google Tasks) and also displays your contacts birthdays.

It doesn't look very fancy but it works well!
[Nexus S General] Technomenon81:
Pure Calendar Widget vs Smooth Calendar

I just switched to Smooth Calendar from Pure Calendar. Pure Calendar is very functional and looks good unless you switch back and forth between landscape and portrait on your home screen. Regardless of the settings, in landscape Pure's widget gets horribly pinched and is not pleasant. I like Smooth because I really only want a good looking agenda widget; I prefer using the native calendar app for creation and editing.

On a side note, I really liked SPB Shell's calendar widget. Although the widget took an entire pane, it had both a good looking calendar and agenda. Ultimately, I uninstalled in favor of the better usability of ADW Launcher.

I have been a beta tester for Swype. While it has gotten better I still notice more of a battery drain with Swype installed. Has anyone noticed this this still happening with the build in the new OTA that was recently released?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
I never noticed this problem. How did you discovered swype was the problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
Each time I installed the beta two things happened for me. The sleep time decreased and the battery life got shorter. I decided to run neocore with and without the beta and it did decrease battery life for me. It was not a tremendous decrease and I have an extended battery but on the stock battery I could see a potential issue. The latest beta is the best so far. They have been addressing battery life. The swype forum has some info about battery life but I didn't see anything about the version on the OTA update.

Durrr, dropbox.

[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
Hmm, got moved. The "anyone else get this" was more of a sub-response to my file posting. Wasn't so much a Question and Answer related topic.

I was posting a file..
[Nexus One General] overground:
Agreed. Will flag the mod in charge.

@ uoY_redruM: It would be better if you edited your first post with the link.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Woah, don't ever try to update your Nexus with an OTA update meant for the Desire. Bad things could possibly happen.

And I don't think a new Desire update is much news for us though.
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
Yeah good point. I just got home from work so I updated everything right after I posted that response.

It now includes the file and what is included in the file.
[Nexus One General] overground:
True, and it should be flagged Desire, although there may be things in it we could use.
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
The reason I think its a market update is because when the initial alert popped up it was a whole bunch of text and such then asked if I wanted to update now or later and if I wanted to use wifi or mobile data blah blah and in that initial jumble of text I saw it said Market.
[Nexus One General] cred05:
This guy seems to think he got a gingerbread update on his Desire

http://twitter.com/denbenner#
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
Well, unless Gingerbread is less then 28MB I doubt what I received was it.

If someone wants to run through the file I got posted, feel free. I have no experience with this so I can't decipher it.
[Nexus One General] BiTXBoi:
it clearly says 'Bravo_Froyo'...so Froyo for Desire...I guess it's a firmware update from HTC...but not Gingerbread
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
Yeah, I know its not Gingerbread.

Like I said though, it said something about Market on the initial request to download the update. I could be wrong, but that's what I saw.

Regardless, I discarded the file because I obviously can't use it but I do have it uploaded in the OP if anyone wants to take a look.
[Nexus One General] GHOST99K:

Go and run it off. You're getting too excited. :P

I'm sure we'll get a source release soon enough.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
So you got a FROYO ota on a DESIRE, why in the world are you making a thread in the nexus one forum?
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Ok, I think this could be a Market update for HTC android phones.

That's because my colleague's LOCKED and UNROOTED HTC Desire HD has the new 2.2.6 Market.

And I know it has been changed because just a few days ago I was playing with it and it had the old market.

So question is, are Nexus One users also getting the updated Market as well?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Yes, my N1 and my friend's N1 both received the market update in a silent OTA today.

[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
Consumer Product Liability Law quote

"Products that malfunction or cause harm due to design flaws, manufacturing errors or inadequate warnings or directions are considered defective."

How much more time should we, consumers, give Samsung before asking Feds to help us? I personally would like to believe that consumers have rights, a concept that Samsung is not willing to accept.

For the curious ones, this post has to do with Samsung recalling the broken phones for the purpose of fixing them. For the ignorant ones, pat yourself on the back for accomplishing nothing again.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I suppose the other thread with people whining was not adequate?

You didnt even address what you are upset about? I assume GPS.... which is funny since the VAST MAJORITY on here have absolutely no issues.
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
Lawsuits and such

I'm assuming based on your other postings that this relates to GPS issues. I'll try to address your questions with as little drama as possible:

How much more time should we, consumers, give Samsung...

- After you have exhausted all other remedies. In some cases, never. Were you aware of the issue in the time window when the product could still be returned or exchanged?

...before asking Feds to help us?

- There is no "Asking Feds" to help. You can file complaints with the FTC or maybe another federal organization, or with your state attorney general. As you probably know, your likely success in this area will be close to zero.

I personally would like to believe that consumers have rights, a concept that Samsung is not willing to accept

- you do have rights, but from a civil law perspective, what are your damages? Do you think a reasonable person on a jury would find Samsung liable for anything, when 98% of the phone functionality works just fine, and as for GPS, it works fine for some significant percentage of the consumers? You should be asking yourself what is your personal responsibility in this... did you keep the phone past the initial return period in hopes of a fix coming out? Did Samsung do due diligence and provide a fix eventually, that appears to have work for the vast majority of users? (Yes).

I know it frustrating, my device is the second one I had, the first one was crap, and this one the GPS works but is occasionally flaky. I'll get over it, and I have not relied on any assertions of Samsungs that caused irreparable harm. Generally, you cannot sue for grief (and while we as a country seem to have drifted that way, thank god that's still basically true). You will have this phone 1 to 3 years of what is hopefully a 80+ year life. You will make better buying decisions in the future, and do more due diligence when buying a phone. And this assumes you just don't sell this one on e-bay and buy another one.

So my long ramble is summarized, and aiming at all the other class action ninnies, into this one short sentence: "Get a life".

Mike (Who obviously has to much time on his hands today)
[Vibrant General] bigragu:
I'm confused by all of the people who complain about the GPS. Mine has always worked fine from stock through the latest ROM I am on. It seems like there are dozens of ways to fix the issue that have worked for many people. Are there still people out there who have exhausted every lead and STILL cannot get it to work? Whenever I read a complaint about GPS, people don't specify what they have tried and what has failed.
[Vibrant General] velocd:
I am seriously tired of seeing this response to people who are suffering with GPS issues to no avail. I don't really care about how the"vast majority" isn't having issues. I care about my phones issues. Obviously there are phones out there with a non functioning GPS. I am one of them, so is my wife. Even if 70%-80% of the phones had a functioning GPS that still leaves 20%-30% SOL.

Did I notice the GPS issue when I bought the device? Yes. Did I notice that a good number of others had the same problems? Yes. We were advised by tmobile to wait for a patch. The patch came well past the return date.

tl;dl

If your GPS is working that's great, that doesn't mean that everyone's is working. There are people that still have major GPS issues. If you don't like the complaints don't click on the thread.

I have tried all of the fixes btw. My wife and I still have extremely inconsistent performance and locking issues.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
you should try AXURA if you havent, my GPS never worked until then, its a few feet off, but i dont mind that.

@OP, why is the only reason that you people think vibrants suck is the GPS?

WOOPTIDOO! a gps doesn't work.

Think of it this way, would you take a IPhone from which your calls would drop, and wouldn't be able to call anyone half the time? or not be able to use your dang brain to read the street names and figure out where your going.
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
...................
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
So basically the op didn't do his research before buying a product and now wants to cry foul. I bought my Vibrant in August, bought two, after researching it for a good two weeks. I compared it to most of the other offerings from all carriers with the exception of iPhone. I was fully aware of the gps issue before hand, very well documented. I even went so far as to have the work around sitting on my computer when I brought the thing home. One of the first things I did was apply the work around.

All that said maybe you should take a good hard look in the mirror and ask yourself who really needs to be blamed for you owning a product that doesn't work to the abilities that you think it should.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
And I'm REALLY tired of people coming to a development forum making posts about class action lawsuits.... Heaven forbid they use an existing thread (there was one on the very same page when the op created this thread).

There is nothing wrong with the vast majority, this can't be denied. There are a ton of ways to try and correct the problem.

H,eck send me your phone and I'll create a video of YOUR phone navigating me to the local bar so I can celebrate one less annoying "let's sue... For something" thread.
[Vibrant General] MV10:
While the OP is kind of a tool (yeah, the Feds are going to leap in and fix your phone...), these "My GPS works great!" posts are almost as ridiculous.

It isn't as if a bunch of us got together and pretended to have insurmountable GPS problems.

In my case, the GPS has become usable after the second Eclair update. My wife's still doesn't work but she doesn't use it, so she doesn't care. The other two in the house now work normally. So just in my house, we pretty much cover the range.

Just because it isn't affecting you doesn't mean the rest of us are merely delusional.

And since you asked, yeah, I have tried pretty much eveything that was suggested here on XDA, short of some of the more recent ROMS (which I don't want for a variety of other reasons).
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
So you recommend medication for a person with hardware problems. That says more about your condition than that of the person you're replying to.

Maybe people are upset because the Vibrant was advertised as having a GPS, and a GPS is a huge part of Android's functionality? Just because your GPS works, or because you don't use it, doesn't excuse you coming in here and acting like a jerk.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
No. My GPS never worked until I found the Axura rom it worked on all 3 of my vibrants.

Try the rom if you want the GPS so dang much. Is all I'm saying.
[Vibrant General] zedgar:
This is not legal advice, but:

As far as a lawsuit goes, the best argument would be that product was "not fit for the particular purpose for which it was sold." Most jurisdictions have some form of breach of warranty laws that could provide the basis for a suit if the product was advertised or represented as having working gps. However, Samsung/T-Mobile would have the defense that when you purchased the phone, the gps didn't work but you kept it anyways (past the 14 or 30 day buyer's remorse period). In other words, by not returning it, you accepted the non-conforming goods.

As for the "Feds" stepping in, I wouldn't count on it. Your best bet would be to find an attorney that would take on a class action suit in hopes of a big fee award. Usually if there is any merit to a claim like this, attorneys are jumping at the chance to sue, b/c at the end of the day the settlement is usually something like pennies for the consumer, a promise by the company to play fair in the future and a big award of attorneys fees.

All that being said, I would think that if you sent Samsung/T-Mobile a well drafted demand letter under your jurisdiction's consumer protection laws, they would make an offer of a return or exchange of the phone to avoid the hassle. Better yet if you had an attorney friend that would do it for you.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Well, as someone with GPS issues, I'll say that something like a class action is largely useless. ;)

I also think that "oh, just try another ROM", while valid in some cases, is also completely ridiculous. One shouldn't have to modify their phone and void a warranty in order to have functional hardware (note I've done both :p).

I know it's frustrating. For me, no update or work around worked. I had to crack open my phone and bend up the contact on my GPS Antenna (which plenty of us are trying here) and now it works great. Is my SNR the strongest? No, it doesn't really go above 40. But I get 10-14 satellites to lock and it holds a signal even inside the house.

Yeah, it's insane to have a problem with something so basic on a smart phone these days. But the reality is that the vast majority of smart phone users never even turn on GPS. Out of the ones that do, a small percentage have issues. That means that there's only a small fraction of SGS users experiencing GPS issues and the people that tend to be the loudest are the ones that have problems. Samsung doesn't care. Neither would HTC or Motorola.

They also know that the average length of time the average user keeps a phone is 20 months. That number decreases with smart phones AND with people that are tinkerers. I'd imagine it would be a rarity for a lot of people here to keep a phone longer than 16-18 months. All of these manufacturers know that you'll move on to the next device long before you get a class action lawsuit going.

I may be an exception, but my time is worth more money than a class action over a device that is 97% functional.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
"Plaintiff asserts that Defendant's product is 'laggy', as such term is commonly understood within the North American phone nerd community; and even the use of third-party measures such as 'Ryan's OCLF' did not transform the product into the 'buttery-smooth beast' that Plaintiff had intended to purchase..."
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
If you have tried the workarounds and have got all the current updates and your GPS is not working, walk into a T-Mobile store or call customer service and complain. Every day people are getting replacement phones and if they tell you that you are out of your return window, explain that you kept getting told to wait by your local rep.

This is a basic customer service issue, no need to get all bent out of shape. If yours doesn't work, ***** up a storm with T-Mobile for a replacement.
[Vibrant General] bigragu:
I couldn't agree more and that was the point of my earlier post. I understand there are people who have issues that others don't. (I had the hardware lock issue). It just seems that there ARE ROMs out there that have fixed the problem. If you need GPS that bad (and I do), try them until you find one that works.
