in Google Contacts, i have activated the "Contact's Birthdays and Events" calendar. while i can use this calendar for example in Thunderbird or even the old mobile, the calendar won't load in the SGS2's calendar app - it is not even listed as calendar at all.
some calendar widgets from the market do list the birthday calendar as "inactive", which probably means that it's currently not synced. other Google Calendars like "Week Numbers" work just fine, so it seems that the birthday calendar is not synced on purpose. from reading forum posts, it also seems possible to use this calendar in other android devices...
has anyone found a way to get the birthday calendar to work with the SGS2?

Hi all,
Just some strange behaviour in regards to my calendar. I added a bunch of entries in my Google Calendar, which synced fine to my phone. But I deleted all entries in Google, did a number of manual syncs and phone reboots, but the entries are still remaining in the phone calendar. They are completely gone in Google Calendar.
Any ideas?
Well I went through and deleted all the data from anything Calendar related which removed everything, now it's syncing with Google. However, it doesn't show my "Other Calendars". I have simple calendar widget which displays my other calendars in the options, but the stock calendar doesn't show them at all.
Edit: OK it looks like an issue with Facebook birthdays export. Just created a new calendar, exported the Facebook birthdays into this and all is good. Not surprised Google and Facebook aren't playing nicely!
I have this same problem, and I want to delete 'the data from anything calendar related'.
How do I do this?
Where is the calendar data stored?
Hello everyone,
I just reflashed my phone with KB1 over the weekend, and really like the ROM. However, I am still having an issue I was having before (on JK6) which I am hoping someone can help me solve.
I use a Google Apps account for my personal email and calendar, and my company uses Google Apps for our corporate email and calendar. I have my calendars shared between both accounts.
When I reflashed my phone and setup my personal Google account on my phone, both calendars were showing up just fine on my TouchWiz calendar, and the LauncherPro calendar widget.
Now, a few days later the TouchWiz calendar doesn't show my work (shared) calendar in the list if calendars, and none of my appointments either. Same with the TouchWiz widget.
Any ideas what could be going on here?
I am getting frustrarted with SPlanner unable to synchronize properly with Google Calendar. Task don't get synchronized, events and birthdays are also not synchronized properly. Maybe I am doing it wrongly somehow.
Anyway this is my problem. I add a birthday to a contact list and Google Calendar shows the updated birthday on my Google "Contacts Birthday's and Events" Calendar. However, for some weird reason, my SPlanner doesn't shows the updated event. So when I sync SPlanner, the Google "Contacts Birthday's and Events" will get deleted also. I think when I sync SPlanner, there aren't anything there so the Google Calendar gets deleted.
And talking about Task, it just doesn't sync at all. Task created on Gmail will not sync with SPlanner and vice versa.
Is this a bug with the Jelly Bean ROM or its just poor Samsung integration with Google?. Do I need to use the the original AOSP Calendar or must I also use the AOSP Contact.apk to make it all work properly? I want to keep this phone as original as possible so I hope no third party software other than Google or Samsung.

Hello together
Well, my problem is simple:
I have 200+ contacts on my phone, most of which including their birthdays.
My contacts are synced to Google so if I select the "Birthday" calendar in Google Calendar I get to see the birthdays in my calendar.
The problem being, that new contact's Birthdays are not shown!
It seems the birthday calendar only syncs like every year.
So say I add a new contact who's birthday is two weeks from now, then his birthday will NOT show in my calendar in two weeks.
Seems to be a bug in google's contacts or calendar.
Is there some kind of syncer/updater to take care of that for me?
Thanks
A few days ago I bought a S7 (on 6.0.1), upgrading from my Xperia Z (on 5.1.1). As usual the first thing I set up was my outlook account with my calendars - I set up an Exchange account as well as through the outlook app (just like I have it on my Xperia). I use the outlook app for my emails and use Business Calendar 2 Pro as my primary calendar app/widget.
I have a few individual calendars on my outlook account. However on my S7, business calendar doesn't show the individual calendars, instead it has merged them all into 1 calendar. I made sure both phones are running the same version of both apps (outlook and business calendar). I also tried the native samsung planner app and other calendar apps but they all also merged the individual calendars into 1 calendar. Any ideas on how I can change it so that I can see my individual calendars on my S7?
I have screenshots, but can't post them atm, being a new user.
Thanks
