7 years ago

Would anyone know of an apt that I can download to my Motorola cell that is sorta a calendar / reminder … that I can put things into it like a later date and when that date comes up I get an alert ( alarm) .. I see there apts for calendars, but not seeing any with an alarm. I somehow can’t seem to find one . Thanks.

I think you mean app, not appt.

If it's a Motorola Android smartphone, it comes with such an app already preloaded. It's called Calendar. You can set it to notify you in advance of appointments, and you can choose HOW it notifies you and how much in advance. And how many times.

It's completely integrated with Google Calendar so that you can make entries on Google Calendar (by logging in to Gmail, then going to Calendar). There too you can choose how to be notified, when, and how many times. Your appointment data is visible and can be changed in either location. Change it on one and if your sync settings on the phone are right, it will change on the other.

To be sure, you can call your mobile carrier's tech support and they can help you be sure it's set up properly and functioning.

I found this Alarm Calendar app that works with Google calendar. I've never tried it, however.

You can install microsoft cortana on it. Then you can tell cortana to 'remind me at noon next Monday, pay the power bill.

Then you get a alarm sound and pop up message everywhere you have cortana installed.

I rely heavily on cortana for reminders. Drives me nuts sometimes, all the phones and computers alarms going off at same time.

Transfering cell phone contacts to new smart phone?

I believe both do have bluetooth but I never learned to use it. I will check it out. owbist; I always forget about youtube. However, I didn't see anything useful in your list. Remember, I had essentially succeeded in making a sim card transfe, but the data was not complete. The one on point post from your list also indicated incomplete data fields. I actually found that my transfer was worse than I originally thought. It only transferred the contact name and lost both the fact that the next contact was identical and thus a subset, but also lost any indication of the type of phone (work, home etc) and listed ALL entries as 'mobile'.

It depends on the phone and the carriers. There's a number of different types of service out there too. For instance different carriers use different frequencies (CDMA, PCS, GSM, etc) SIM cards are suggestive of GSM technology used by Tmo and ATT. If you're looking to use prepaid service you can sometimes use the phones but won't always have all the features. If you're looking for a contract service, then as cautioned before, beware of costs to change. Often the smallest thing will extend your contract. For instance, if you get a new phone, you generally get a new (extended) contract with hefty cancellation fees. You'll have to get more info from the companies, but generally speaking, Tmo will not be interchangeable with Virgin and Verizon. Tmo & AT&T are more likely to be options. Probably not answering your question, but not an easy question to answer!

Wait, you agree that "those that use their cell phones while driving are risking the lives of many people" but you say you will answer the phone when your family calls? I don't really understand this. I get that sometimes there are emergencies but those are very rare. The problem is when everyone gets to create their own set of exceptions to when it's okay to use the phone that we get into trouble in society as everyone has different risk thresholds they are willing to take. Unfortunately it's usually the innocent ones who aren't doing anything who have to pay for those exceptions and choices, far too often with their lives. It's a good idea to pull over if you must take a call. If I need to take or make a call I usually go into a parking lot, or will pull over depending where I am. I do see far fewer people on their phones while driving compared to a few years ago though so hopefully people are realizing how dangerous it is. In my area they are really cracking down on it though. I was pulled over for glancing down at my GPS once, and the officer asked to check my phone to look for texting or calls. He let me go when there was nothing recent on it but I imagine they catch a lot of people and it's not a cheap ticket.

Search the app store for smooth calendar. I use it along with the calendar already on my phone and love it. It's very customizable. Once you install it you go to your widgets to add it to your home screen. Recent appointments coming up are listed on the home screen next to today's date. Mary

I looked it up - Smooth Calendar is a widget rather than an app. It displays your upcoming appointments on the home screen, if that's of interest. The native Motorola time widget on the home screen does the same, showing the next appointment time. Using both would be fine but there would be redundancy in what's displayed.

It is a widget but works along with Google calendar quite well. I need lots of reminders for things and find this works better for me than any app. Mary

Maybe you missed what I said, the native Motorola clock app shows the next appointment on the screen. Touch it for all details. I have a Motorola phone and I'm looking at it right now. Do you?

Why you'd want to have the same thing shown twice side by side I don't know. There's no need for the clutter.

I just prefer it like this and it has more features than the Google calendar. My life is on my phone so works for me. Mary

Are you familiar with the Schedule or Agenda view of calendar apps? Touch the icon and you get it all in this format. And those with a Moto clock widget have a preview.

Hopefully the poster can figure it out on their phone. Mary
