    When creating an event in the s planner, how do you turn off the reminders (email & alarm notifications)? I want to be able to create them for appointments etc., but I don’t need them for holidays & other events… s planner creates them as a default which you then have to delete.

    I’ve just carried out a software update on my galaxy note 4, & the s planner icon now displays the day and the date… however, it has ‘stuck’ on Tuesday 31st. How can I fix this please?

    Hi Simon, I have the Samsung Note 3. I sync with Google Calendar but prefer the S Planner App. My issue is that I set the first day of the week to Monday but every time I turn my phone off and on it resets to Sunday. I’ve tried rebooting my phone Any ideas?

    I am viewing a shared calender in my s planner with my friends. How do i see when was an event entered in the calender i.e. date and time of the entry and by whom. Is there a log records that i can view on event or task entered?

    Yes but the direct access on the right side is easier. I saw a picture in one of the forum that shows this menu tabs.

    Unfortunately, this is the most frequent function I use….. any quick method for copying an event in new version?

    Reply

  13. C Cathy says

    In past versions, there is a copy function that I can copy an event to another date. However, I can’t locate the copy function in the new version.

    I have S planner synced with Google and exchange.

    For exchange calendars which I have been invited, I can see d event in S planner. But when I click on it to see the particulsr event details, S planner crashes n stop working. If I create and event using S planner for my exchange acc, I can view d detail events with no crashing.

    I’ve rebooted my s3, reinstalled Enhanced Email app, cleared S planner cache to no avail. Any ideas? Thx.

    Is there a way to delete pre existing holidays in the s planner? I don’t necessarily need to have holidays in newfoundland being displayed when I live in BC 🙂

    Thank you so much Simon. What’s the system clock – you mean the ordinary clock? How do you re-boot – it’s not the same as turning off and on? I’ve check the clock is right. I’ve turned it on and off. No good.

    is this where to ask a question? I have a Galaxy Note 111. The S Planner works very well, except I went to New South Wales last week, and now all the appointments are the right time for NSW but I’m in Queensland now and they show one hour earlier. Tried fiddling with all settings – but can’t make it work.

    A date shows with a circle(not an event but the date number) which I didn’t make but maybe by mistake. I really want to get rid of it. Can you help?

    My wife is very organised and has months of events on her S Planner. Can I sync all of this info from her Galaxy Tab or S5 to my Galaxy Tab?

    I have a Galaxy note 3 and a Tab 4 SM-T530 – both with S Planner. Tasks will not sync between the two calendars? How do I do?

    They were added directly on the Samsung calendar but still can’t edit. Anyhow thanks for the reply. Perhaps I would have to re-create them!

    Hi Simon,
    Thanks for your answer. The events were added by the user of the phone. The weird thing is that I can delete them but I just can’t edit them.

    There are a number of event entries repeated annually in the S Planner but when viewing them, I can’t edit any of them. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

    Is it possible to edit the choices in the REPEAT menu in S Planner, I would like to add/amend an event to ‘repeat every 4 weeks’

    Hi Simon. I just bought the s4 and would like to delete one particular event from the repeating event that happen weekly. Is there a way to do it? Cos it will just prompt me to delete the whole repetitive events which I intend to keep. Tks.

    Ive just received the 4.4.2 update, and the font size has changed [now lots smaller than it used to be].
    System font changes dont apply to S Planner – is there another work-around?
    I dont want to have to put my reading glasses on every time I look at my calendar!

    Hey there Simon, you seem to be the guy to ask questions to, thanks for all your effort =)

    A quick couple of questions:

    1) how do I change the colour of an account on the calendar? (I worked it out when I first set the phone up, but can’t seem to find it anywhere now, and the colours the phone has set are inappropriate for my tastes).

    2) When syncing calendar events with say outlook, do events I’ve set on my phone automatically transfer to my pc version too? I think they do right?

    Much Thanks!
    Tony

    I have a Note 3 with s-view cover. Since updating to kitkat s-planner reminders can’t b e dismissed. They just reappearing over and over again, as if I was constantly snoozing them. Highly annoying. Aware of any solutions?
    cheers

    Hey Simon
    Do you know how to change the color of an event.
    I think that on the note 3 they should put Anote like in the note 8 for me it is way better than calendar.
    Thank you

    I have a Note 3 updated to Kit Kat, S Planner works with calendar, not tasks. It seems to take 12 hours to sync tasks, 5 minutes to sync calendar. Samsung outsourced support is useless to assist.

    i have this same issue with the home screen widget, it shows upcoming events but not tasks. I write in tasks almost daily and would like to see them on the calender widget display on the home screen.
    You say it’s better to get another app to manage the to-do list, but is there an app that will read the tasks I have imputted into s planner? I dont want to have to use a separate program for tasks, I want just one calender app. I have searched play store but havent confirmed if any home screen widgets will read the tasks from s planner. Do you have any suggestions?
    Why would this awesome feature be deleted on the note 3? crazy!

    HI, in my S3 I used to have a widget for tasks, now, in the Note3 I can’t find it. Is there a way to install it again?

    If I enter a task under one calendar and then want to change it to a different one (I have several calendars set up for different family/work events) is there a way to do that?
