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.
Simon says
There is a “-” icon for each reminder. Tap it to remove the reminder.

Just tried that. I only had an option to remove a single reminder. It worked, but then both reminders re-appeared a few minutes later, which I’ve had to delete and save the change. Very frustrating!
Simon says
After deleting the reminder, you need save/update the event.

My original question was how to turn them off, or stop them completely. I don’t want to have to delete them when they just appear. The default settings only allow you to choose the timings of the reminders as far as I can see. If that’s how it is, then so be it I suppose…

Lynn walker says
Hi I can not find s planner app on galaxy note 3. When I move calendar widget to home screen it says no application? Can you tell me where s planner app is?
Simon says
S Planner is always pre-installed on galaxy note 3. Did you disable it accidently? You can check it in settings – application manager – disabled (or in the bottom part of all tab).

Avs says
Hi, what is the best way to transfer all contents of splanner from my s3 to s4 note?
Simon says
You can sync S Planner with Samsung account.
Of course, you can use Kies to backup them to your PC. Then you can restore.

Avs says
Thanks for your reply Simon. Sync from S planner doesn’t seem to transfer all my past events and tasks etc to my new phone so I will try Kies.
Simon says
Kies should backup all.

Marisa Quigley says
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?
Simon says
Do you have other devices that set the start day as Sunday?
Google calendar should not affect your S Planner settings. But S Planner on other devices may.
Anyway, sor Google calendar, you can also set the Start of the week inside the app.

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?

No, I don’t think S planner offers this option.

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.

Not sure what view you are taking about. Are you sure it’s S Health?
If you are in month and task view, it will split the view to month and task.

April says
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 🙂
Simon says
You probably turned on public holiday in one of your Google accounts. You can disable it in your Google account.
You can also turn it off in s planner only. Open s planner, tap menu key, tap calendars, you can choose to turn off it under one of your Google account.

Lotty says
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.
Lotty says
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.

Can you mark an event as “complete”??? Maybe it has to be a task?

Robert says
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?
Simon says
Almost impossible unless you are using the same Samsung account on both devices. Samsung only allows one Samsung account in each device.
You can try to install Google calendar, and sync Samsung calendar with Google calendar. Then share Google calendar.

Rolf Hundal says
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?
Simon says
When you create a new task, you may try to select the task as “Samsung tasks” not “My tasks”. Then it should be synced.

Loukianos says
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!
Simon says
You may try to choose Google calendar when creating the event.

Loukianos says
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.
Simon says
If you are the owner of the event (you added it), you should able to edit and delete. If you just accepted it, you cannot edit it depending on the settings of the event.
Is the event added to your Google calendar or Samsung calendar?
Our Facebook page || Galaxy S9 Guides || Galaxy S8 Guides || Galaxy S6 Guides || Galaxy S7 Guides || Android Nougat Guides || Chromecast Guides.
Loukianos says
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?
Simon says
You can edit it only if the event was added by you. For example, some events like public holiday are added by Google. You can choose not to show them, but not delete them. Similarly, if the event was shared and you are not the owner, you cannot delete them either.
For repeated event, you cannot delete individual one. It is treated as one.

Thank you Simon

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’
Simon says
For S planner in galaxy note 3, you can only choose from the available repeating patterns.
To repeat the event every 4 weeks, you can use Google calendar app, which allows the setting every X weeks. The event in Google calendar can be synced to S planner.

Mun says
Hi, the S Planner is not appear in my Note 3 widget. How can I move it into my home screen?

In the app drawer (16 dots) , switch to widget, you can find 2 S planner widgets (mini today and month). You can tap and hold it to add it to the home screen,just like normal widgets.

I have checked and it is not appear in my widget. Any chance to do that?

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.

You cannot manage individual event if it’s a part of a repeated event. The repeated event in calendar is treated as one.

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!
Simon says
There are no workarounds. Apparently, it’s a defect in the app when scaling the font.
You can still get slightly larger font if you change system font size to large.

In up coming months I have every day no title.how do I delete this no title print.thanks

This should correspond to an event in one of your calendars.
You can open S planner and open the event, then tap menu key, choose delete to delete it. If it’s a repeated event, you only need delete it once.

Graham Wheelock says
Hi -can anyone tell me how to increase the font size in the S Planner App on my Note 3 ?

There is no individual settings for font size in S Planner. The system font settings (settings–font-font size) may affect the font size here.

Tony says
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
Simon says
1. In S Planner, there is no way to change color of different calendars. But, you can install Google calendar. In Google calendar, you can change colors for all google calendar accounts. Such change will be applied to S planner immediately.
2. It “should” be like that. but because I haven’t used outlook for long time, I cannot confirm.

Antony says
Ahhhh that could be it… I tried installing google calendar some while back… thanks Simon, will update you with the outcome, and btw, this has to be the first time I’ve ever received a reply to a forum really promptly, most reply in months if at all.. =)
Cheers,
antony says
Turns out I can’t choose the colour myself even via google calendar because it’s on the microsoft exchange server… lame… I guess I could just use up all the colours I don’t like in duff accounts, then hopefully when I set it up again, it will give me the colour I want lol… Oh man… the time invested in this…
Thanks Simon…
Simon says
Google calendar can only set colors for Google accounts. I probably forgot to stress this.
Some third party calendar apps may allow some sorts of styling, but exchange account may be an issue. I personally stayed away from exchange account on Android due to its obtrusive and excessive permissions.
Maybe other exchange users can give some recommendations.

Carel says
Use “set calendar colors” from the play store to change the color of an exchange account.
Matt says
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
Simon says
Not heard about this issue. After you dismiss it, how long will it alert you again?
You may try to clear cache for S planner. (settings – application manager – all)
Our Facebook page || Galaxy S9 Guides || Galaxy S8 Guides || Galaxy S6 Guides || Galaxy S7 Guides || Android Nougat Guides || Chromecast Guides.
Matt says
Thanks for the reply. The reminder reappears within a short period – no more than a few minutes. I’ve tried clearing the cache, will let you know if this makes a difference.
One other thing, it may only be happening with entries synced from exchange server. At least I’ve only notice it with these, but then must of my s planner calender entries are from exchange server.
Cheers
Simon says
Very likely be due to exchange. You may test it by creating a reminder/event in S Planner directly, or in Google calendar.

Barbara says
I also have a note 3 with the S cover and also SOME of my calendar reminders won’t dismiss. They appear over and over. I X them and they appear again a few minutes later. It’s asif I’ve hit snooze instead of delete, which I haven’t. But sometimes they won’t do it. It’s RANDOM! Could it be the s cover?

For these reminders, if you unlock the screen, can you dismiss them from notification panels?

Hey Simon
Do you know how to change the color of an event.

Thank you

The Awesome Note is only available on Note 8.0. It is actually available in iTunes, but not Google Play store..

Simon says
Actually, s planner is tightened to your Google calendar.
If it is somehow deleted from your handset, it will be deleted from Google server. So other devices will not get the deleted items.
The most important part to is backup to your pc with Kies. You can only be restore such data from such backups.

Dave says
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.
Simon says
Because tasks cannot sync with Google calendar. You have to use Samsung calendar….
Now you can use Google Keep to create reminders to partially replace task in S Planner.

oldapplefan says
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!
Baruc says
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?
Simon says
It was removed for unknown reasons. But you should have S Planner (mini today). In some (not all) regions, you may find S Planner (task).
Anyway it is better to get another app to manage the to-do list.

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?

Yes, you can move it. But one event can only be in one calendar.
Tap the event, tap menu button (left), go to edit. The first item is “Calendar”. Tap it. Now you have the options of available calendars. You can choose where you want to put this event.
