Integrate with Calendar Snooze (and others) to handle reminder/reschedule events
Calendar Snooze is, IMO, the best "event reminder" app available. It has many snooze/edit options that are unavailable in Calendar Goo. It would be nice if the two were able to be integrated so they would work together.
The problem I have is that Calendar Snooze appears to tie into the Android Calendar database. This means changes made there will not appear in CalenGoo until the Android Calendar syncs with Google Calendar and then Calengoo syncs with Google Calendar. This may take so long that the event might be missed.
This would be very helpful for those of us who have secondary reminder apps.

Thanks for the info! I wish I had known that then... :) If I have that/a similar problem in the future, I'll remember to try this. Frankly, I think you can close this one if you want, unless someone else is having this/similar problems. Then again, no one else has commented on it.
Thanks again so much for your help.

@GlueFactoryBJJ You said "it would be nice to have a "clear calendar/resync (selected?) accounts". That's already implemented as "Settings", "Reset calendars". This deletes all downloaded events and calendars and re-downloads everything from Google with the next sync.

I cleared all the data in CalenGoo from Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, selected CalenGoo and cleared the data. Of course, when I did that, I had to re-enter all of my CalenGoo settings while the calendar data flawlessly synced back to my phone from my Google Calendar.
In the app, it would be nice to have a "clear calendar/resync (selected?) accounts" option so this could be done without having to lose all my CalenGoo settings. Just a thought...
Thanks for all of your help!
Best regards,
Scott

If you have any duplicates, please see the instructions here:

It should be easy to fix, you are probably syncing the same calendar twice. Perhaps you can write me how you have fixed it, because several people have this problem since the last update and I think I didn't change anything that could have caused this.

Sorry about the delay. Been busy... :)
I'm using a Droid X running Android 2.2.1. It is rooted.
After the lasted update, things appear to be working better. At the least, the updates appear to be syncing almost immediately, so that is better. I'll check some more with the integration with Calengoo.
However, since the last update, all of my appointments in the widget and the regular Calengoo calendar are duplicated.

Ok, it seems that the Android calendar of your device is not found by CalenGoo. Do you know which version of Android OS you are using? Can you please also tell me which device you are using?

When I went into Settings, Visibility/Download, I only have one "Enable Account" row/checkbox. Below that I have my gmail account calendar, a "US Holidays" calendar, and an old Blackberry calendar I cannot figure out how to get rid of listed. The options on each of those are:
1. Download, Google visibility
2. Download, visible
3. Download, invisible
4. No download, invisible
5. No download, visibleI guess I don't think I understand exactly what I need to do...?
Thanks again for your help!

I think the best would be if you would sync CalenGoo with the Android calendar, too. Just check "Settings", "Visibility/Download", "Android", "Enable Account" and uncheck all other "Enable Account" rows. Then CalenGoo will use the same calendar as CS, the Android calendar, to read/write events.

One other issue relating to this is the updating of reminder and rescheduling of events from within Calendar Snooze. I know that Calendar Snooze (CS) makes immediate changes to the Android Calendar (I can see them in the Android Calendar app), but those changes are not passed on to Calengoo for at least some period of time (15+ minutes?). I have Calengoo on a 30 minute sync schedule.
I have no doubt that I may be doing something wrong. However, I am hesitant to replace Calendar Snooze because of the customization abilities it provides with "snoozing" reminders and changing the reminders that go beyond the cost of the app itself.
Thanks for your quick feedback!

I've tried this and have not had it sync within at least 5 minutes. However, it would readily sync when told to do so manually.

When you add a new event or change an existing in CalenGoo, it should be uploaded immediately to Google Calendar. And a few seconds later it should be synced from there to the Android calendar. So you should already be able to use Calendar Snooze with CalenGoo even if CalenGoo syncs directly with Google. If this doesn't work on your phone, please contact me at android@calengoo.com .
