Coming from iOS 8 on a 4S to 4.4.2 on an S3.
Problem #1
I recently switched from an 4S to and S3, however my wife still has her 4S. We had our calendars synced through iCloud. What is the best way to have syncing calendars now that we are on differnt platforms? She'd prefer to stick to the stock iOS calendar if possible, but will switch to a different app if necessary.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Set up a google calendar for both her and I, then shared them with each other. Problem is that even after I add her google calendar to her iPhone, it does not show the calendar that I shared with her.
2. Downloaded Sunrise app on both her iPhone and my S3. The app is pretty nice and isn't too much different than the stock app in appearance. While it does solve the problem of a shared calender, it does not seem to notify her that an event has been added to calendar like it did when we were both on iOS. I can't seem to find anything in the setting that would allow this either.
Any suggestions on a cleaner or better way to have syncing calendars is appreciated.
Problem #2
A much smaller problem to me than the above, but I miss being able to delete and reply to emails and message directly from the lock screen. How can I accomplish this on my S3?
