I promise I searched, all the threads I found were about adding a second Google calendar from a Google account (sub calendar).
On her Galaxy Tab there are 2 calendars, the Google account calendar and a "My Calendar". We use My Phone Explorer to sync the tablet with her Outlook on the PC without involving Google and it synchronizes to the My Calendar calendar. On her Moto XPRT there is only the Google account calendar. My Phone Explorer will sync to the XPRT using the Google account calendar. The downside is that any changes/creations she makes on the phone will not be visible on the tablet unless she shows both the Google and "My Calendar" calendars on the tablet. We would like to not involve Google. Adding a "My Calendar" calendar to the XPRT would allow us to do this. Unfortunately Calendar -> More -> Calendars -> Does not have the Menu -> Add Calendar that I've seen in other threads were they describe adding new calendars.
Is there another way or a different menu sequence to add new non-Google based calendars that are contained on the device?

I have Google Calendar Sync to sync my outlook calendar with my work google calendar. I shared my work google calendar with my personal google calendar. This way I can setup my appointments in Outlook and see them on my android phone. This was working before!
The scheme is this: outlook calendar -> work google account -> personal google account -> android phone. Now I can see the events in my personal google account but this events does not sync with android phone. If I resave the event on web google calendar then it is synced with android phone. If I create event in my work google account it syncs again.
But If I use outlook to create event it does not sync. Very strange problem!
If someone have a solution I will be appreciated.
I now use CM7, before with Stock Legend Rom it was synced succesfully
Since Microsoft directs both Microsoft Office and Windows Live Calendar, a Windows Live ID could fluently unify both services and have them sync under the same banner.
With that said, Android's support of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync also works for calendars. Connect that service to your phone and it should work great (and my experience, works better).

I'm also using Google Calendar Sync (0.9.4.1) and it works. I put a meeting in Outlook and in short time appears on the phone...also when creating the event from phone, it appears in Outlook.
Make sure you have the sync "2 ways" selected in Google Calendar Sync options.
When I'm trying to create an even I get a message "Local calendar cannot sync with google calendar. you need a google account"
Well.. I have a google account and I have the calender marked with sync active and in the calendar settings set my google calendar as the only calendar.
WTF?!

I get the same but if I go into Google Calendar and sync, I am able to save the event.
The same issue for me here..
I create an event in the phone calendar, then I go to web Google calendar to check the event, and it's not there.. Even if I try syncing manually multiple times..
It's strange behavior because sometimes events sync and shown in Google calendar immediately when created in the phone..
Is there a fix for this issue ?
I had a slightly different message and figured something out, mine was
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies"
AND
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account"
It then gives me the option to go to accounts and sync, when I do so the calendar gets stuck with the syncing.
But when I create an event it syncs to my google calendar. So I just set it to ignore and things seem to work fine.Anyone else?
Hello
I'm having trouble getting the Calendar on the SGS2 to sync with the Calendar on google?
Now I can create an appointment, and it appears on google and the phone, but if I create it on Google the phone won't update.
The sync checkbox is ticked, and every time I create a new event on the Calendar i'm greeted by
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My Calendar to sync with Kies"
followed by
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account"
So I have sync running, emails are pushing, and as I said items created on the Phone push to Google, but I can't get Google to push back to the phone, can anyone explain to me what i'm doing wrong
Many Thanks,
Luke.
I have the same problem. Have had the problem for a while on multiple roms and kernels

O great, so its F'd then
Maybe i'll be getting the Galaxy Nexus then.
The Calendar app can work with many calendar sources. I have it syncing it with gmail, yahoo and also the phone's internal calendar (which is also the one KIES deals with).
When you go into Calendar -> Menu -> Settings -> Calendars. You will see all the accounts that independently sync with the Calendar app. So you can have an appointment via a work's account and another appointment via your gmail account. The gmail appointment will only sync with the gmail account and the work's appointment will only sync with the work's account.
What it appears to be is that you create an appointment in gmail (on the web) and it will happily appear on the web and also on your phone soon after. Any modifications to that appointment on the phone will appear on the web.
A new appointment created on the phone is saved as a local calendar event. Go to Calendar -> Menu -> Create. You will see half-way down an option called 'Calendar' select your gmail account from this option. As long as you save the new appointment the Calendar app will use that as the default calendar.

I have had the stock calendar working but I would highly recommend Business Calendar.
Way better in every way.
I have a Google Apps account and a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. I use Google Calendar on a computer with a web browser as well as using the Google Calendar App on my phone but recently noticed a problem when I added a new calendar to my the GCalendar web.
Calendars in GCalendar web are:
Calendar 1
Calendar 2
Calendar 3
Tasks (this is a built-in Google calendar to show Google Tasks).
Contacts' birthdays and events (special built-in calendar to show Birthday and Anniversaries taken from dates in Google Contacts).
Calendars on GCalendar app:
My calendar (I've assumed this is a default calendar added by the phone).
Calendar 1
Calendar 2
Calendar 3
Contacts' birthdays and events (special built-in calendar to show Birthday and Anniversaries taken from dates in Google Contacts).
I added a new calendar (Calendar 4) to my GCalendar web but this has not shown up in GCalendar app under the list of calendars within settings. My questions are:
Does Android have a max limit of 5 calendars?
How can I select it to use a calendar that does not appear in the calendars shown in the GCalendar App under Settings -> Calendars?
Thanks in advance.
Even though I created my Google account from the phone, I only see the option to sync Books, Contact and Gmail from Accounts and Sync. Even if I go into the calendar's settings it throws me back to the same selections - with no way to sync the calendar. Sure enough, none of the items on the web version of the calendar show up on the phone.
You might want to recreating your Google account. I sync calendars just fine and all I did was add my account to the phone.
That worked, deleted my account and re-added it, now the calendar shows up as an option to sync. And everything shows up on the calendar.
