I can't work out why, but stuff added to my google Calendar on my phone, doesn't sync to my online google calendar.
Stuff added online, shows up on my phone's calendar with a red marker when you open the calendar. But stuff added on the phone, doesn't show up online! When you add something using the monthly widget, it shows up with a blue marker, and doesn't seem to upload to google. This is really annoying, and no amount of going in to Data sync settings and forcing synchronisaition seems to fix it. Somewhere, I must have set up something wrong, I assume, but can anyone tell me where..?
OK,
So I 've managed to figure out that there are multiple calendars on the Hero. One must be the google online one, and the other must be the phone one. Both are called "My calendar". I can't find a way of deleting the phone one, or changing its name, or just using the online one as default, but I have gone on to the website and changed the name of the online one to something different. This now means I can identify the differences between them, and put stuff on my online calendar easily from my phone.
But can anyone tell me how I can move appointments between calendars? Or delete the phone only calendar altogether? I have no need for it, if I have an online calendar!!
On mine one is called "my calendar" and the other is my google email login name. Seems like my calendar is local to the phone whereas the "other" is the online calendar which could be shared with others.
Don't know yet how to move between the two or how to delete the local one. Mine always defaults to the online one so I just never change it.

Hello everybody,
I am having the exact same issue on a non-rooted HTC Magic (32A). The problem must have occured because I did not directly sign on my gmail account during the setup wizard, but did that later on.
As a result, a "my calendar" cal was created and was made the phone's default one. Later on, I did sign to gmail and, as a result, obtained access to my google calendars. However, the "my calendar" account remains there and I have not been able to remove it from the list of calendar accounts. To make things worse, selecting to create a new calendar event preselects "my calendar" instead of my own gmail calendar.
Of course I can always return the phone to factory defaults, but that would mean that I'd have to reinstall my applications, do a zillion of tuneups etc etc. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the same thing? Or a workaround to preselect my own gmail calendar as the default one?
Thanks in advance for any info provided.

EDIT: I am not really sure whether signing directly at the first setup wizard execution avoid the creation of "my calendar" altogether, OR it just creates it but sets the gmail calendar as the default.... Can anyone who has directly provided his/her gmail account during the initial setup wizard, confirm whether:
(a) a local "my calendar" calendar exists (or not) and
(b) which calendar is the default one, when a new calendar event is created

Yes, the local "my calendar" still exists.
When I create a new event, it uses whichever calendar I selected the last time I created an event.
In my case, my google calendar is labelled with my full name, and the HTC one is "my calendar", so it's easy...

And you connected to google services right at the initial setup wizard, without skipping it? There goes the theory then...

I'm on a HTC Magic and no matter which calendar I select during event creation, the next event will again default to "my calendar". Are you on Hero? Other?

I can see the google calendar and I can create events there or view the synced ones. Everything works perfectly there. I just can't make my own Google calendar the default

Apols, didn't say: yes, I have a Hero.
On the Hero, it's remembered next time. at least it is for me.

Calendar still does not sync
In spite of using the option to enter my calendar dates with my google account my Hero still will not upload dates to my google calendar. Google calendar does sync down to my Hero however. Is this something I'm doing wrong or is this a known problem?
works fine for me; the only issue is to ensure you're adding the event to the correct calendar, i.e. the Google one, not an Outlook one, or the local Hero one, with the latter being the default.
after I realised that, it's always worked for me.
yeah still not working. Very odd indeed.
Is it still a problem after installing the new ROM?
For me at least.
HOORAY!
Can confirm the problem - at least for my phone and several other Orange users...
As explained before, for each event you create, the calendar must be set to your google calendar (which you set up on installing the phone for the 1st time, or via settings).
Also, you must ensure that Orange haven't (in their infinite wisdom) set up a under 18 child protection thing on your account, because for some reason this stops the calendar on your Hero uploading data to Google!
I've switched this off and can now add (and delete) data on my Hero which syncs to my Google calendar with ease.
Another solution I have come across.
If you are using HTC ONE-x or similar, this could also be with any phone - your HTC will have it's own calendar + Google has its own as well. I have always used the HTC one, but this time I thought I will give the Google calendar a go. This is when the problems started, as I didnt like the Google Calendar and went back to the HTC, and every event I added on it - even though syncs with the Google calendar on the phone, it does not sync with Gmail online calendar.
So, I then added an event on my phone into the Google Calendar app and it synced. Now I am just coping all the events one by one from HTC calendar to Google. A bit annoying, but at least everything syncs.
Can't even switch the Google Calendar app off, as it deleted all the calendars from both HTC and Google.

Trying "Business Calendar Beta & it doesn't do what I need. Specifically, it will not let me edit a single entry of a recurring event, nor can I move the same.
The calendar that has "10" on the icon has an artifact at the top of every screen. It looks like a text box, but does nothing except get in the way.
Jorte is limited, but looks OK & does most things, but will not color in the day of the event.
What I need:
Ability to add recurring events.
Ability to edit or move individual recurring events.
Highlight a day that has an event. (Color choice)
Be nice if event title had a history to choose from.
Most of these features are standard in Outlook Calendar, so I would hope they are not too much to ask for.
Anyone have other calendars for me to try?
Thanks,
kev
Can you confirm that the Gmail calendar does everything you need it to do, and then just grab a Widget to give you a better view of the calendar?

I am currently trying Jorte for the calendar that displays on the desktop & when I select it, it uses Google Calendar. Took me a bit to understand what was happening, but I think I have something I can use.
Thanks.

Jorte was going to be my suggestion as well. Best calendar app I've found so far.
My vote goes to jorte

I personally REALLY like Touch Calendar. Boost up the zoom level and the font size and it looks great on the Nook Color. However, it's basically just a really nice overview, it still uses the built-in calendar app to add, edit, view the specific event etc..
2 thumbs up for Jorte also!
I'm not having any luck getting Jorte to sync with my Google Calendar. I've checked and re-checked the settings which seemed to be defined correctly but it won't sync. If I manually select an import from Google it shows "import complete" immediately but the data doesn't populate. Is anyone else using this successfully?

Is this specific to Jorte? Have you tried the stock calendar?

Well no, now that I look at it the regular calendar isn't syncing either. Not sure what broke that but I've spent the past 45 mins or so trying to figure it out without any luck. I'll look at it again a bit later.

You need to re-sync your calendar. I had the same problem. Trying to find the exact fix right now. Sit tight.
Sorry for the wait. I'm at work and got called away to deal with something.
Here you go. Credit where credit is due; give doc the props.
Now, I do have a question of my own about Jorte. I find the text quite blurry, at least on the 2x4 weekly calendar. I see that you can replace it with a font of your choosing. Will this fix the fuzzy text, or is that a symptom of it being used to a smaller screen? If that wont fix it, does anyone know of something that will?
Secondly, (and this is not very important) is there a way to add "padding" to the edge of the widget? I want it to reside in the top left of my screen, but it clings directly to the side of my screen if I do this with 0 pixles between the edge of the calendar and the edge of the screen. It's no big deal but I'd prefer a bit of padding to keep it consistent with the rest of my screen's layout. Can I force it to move to the center of the widget space somehow, instead of being left justified? I can post a screencap if I am being unclear.
Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Also, I set the widget and line transparency to "not transparent" in the Jorte 5x5 widget, and the font size to "Large", and that cleaned up most of the fuzziness.

The current version of one of the world's oldest apps:

This is quite frustrating and I can't seem to find a solution to this. I have birthdays and anniversaries entered for my contacts which are sync'd to my phone as well. Most of the birthdays and anniversaries show up in my calendar on my phone but some don't. Doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to it either. I noticed that on my HTC Evo LTE I can go to Calendar and specify which calendars it displays. Inside here there is the 'Contacts birthday's & Events' like what I have displayed on my Google Calendar on my PC and the color is yellow. The interesting part is that there is another calendar option called 'People' that is green and I think is an HTC Sense thing but am not 100% on this. The interesting part is that if I choose to display this all of my contact's dates are displayed in duplicate but some extra ones also display.. the ones that don't display on my yellow calendar. One might think the simple solution would be to uncheck the yellow one and check the green one and be done with it but there are also dates that show up on the yellow calendar that don't show up on the green one. The weird part is they BOTH take info from the same source so I don't understand this difference. I went through my contacts making sure they were all added to my 'Friends' group as I think this may have something to do with what events show and what not but it doesn't seem to help.
What gives? What am I doing wrong or what options should I be looking for to correct this? I've already missed a couple anniversaries and b-days a result and it's frustrating because when I realize I missed it I go to my contacts and there it is listed within the contact info but it never displayed in the calendar for some reason.
Someone who knows the calendars please help me out with this problem.
Anyone?
If anyone else has this issue I was able to uncheck the calendars that were currently selected, back out to let it refresh and then go back in and check them once again to get it to work. I'll keep my eye on it and see if it stays fixed but after backing back out the second time there were birthdays there that weren't prior to this little dance. If you're having this issue try giving that a shot.

Works for me, thanks!
Thanks for this thread! I can't believe 2 years later this problem is still occurring with Android (I'm on 4.4.2).
I experience this problem anytime I add a contact's birthday (or another date) to my contacts. In order for it to show up on my calendar, I need to select "Calendars to sync" in calendar settings, then uncheck "Contacts' birthdays & events", back out to the calendar, then go back into "Calendars to sync" and re-select "Contacts' birthdays & events". Once I back out to the calendar again it refreshes within a few seconds and the new date(s)/event(s) finally appear on the calendar.
Just performing those steps in the "Calendars to display" menu doesn't work.
I am using the S Planner and have recently upgraded to 4.1.1 Earlier on ICS when I used to enter the Add Event full settings (on the quick add event it never came though) anyway I used to add an event and the default 5 Mins Notification Reminder used to place itself in the Event on my Calendar.. However Since the upgrade I need to manually click on the + sign next to the reminder.. Why is this so? Is there a work around? I am using the local 'My Calendar' calendar in the S Planner.. I have synced it to my email calendar as well but I have almost no calendar entries on my email.. Just a few work related ones..
Is there anyway for it to automatically add a 5 mins before notification reminder on all the events I create in the local My Calendar in the S Planner? It is quite a pain as I seem to be missing calendar entries since I forgot to add the reminder manually..
Please Help me out! Thanks in Advance!
It is so sad to see nobody is bothered with this problem, because this guy's post is unanswered for almost a month. Is nobody using reminders? I just don't understand. Dumbest stupid failure of the new firmware which urges you to seek for calendar replacement app.
Ok enough emotions. I am also suffering from this. Searched here and there all over. Nobody cares. Nobody even seem to notice this perfect calendar upgrade.
Does it make sence to write to Samsung?

Haha I gave up on the Stock rom and have since moved onto Cyanogen Mod 10.. I don't have NFC, WIFI Direct, Micro SD Card recognition, or any of the motion features from Samsung like Swipe to Capture a screenshot or Direct call from Contact/Message but I have 4.1.2 and a smoother phone and a slightly better battery life.. I am thinking of selling the S3 and buying the Nexus 4! Since the Jellybean upgrade was absolutely rubbish on the S3!
Why on earth this all is so so sad? Why do we need to deal with such shameful faults of the OS of one of the most expensive smartphones in 21st century. The level of this bug or problem reminds me of Windows 3.1 times...
Almost one month later and no solution to this. Such a simple thing to fix but a very annoying bug to deal with. I will be finding a different calendar.

use google calendar

I found a different solution to this! But it will only apply if you use your email address as your default calendar and don't use the local "My Calendar".. Go to your Calendar settings in your Web browser and activate the default reminder time to whatever you want.. Also ensure on your phone that your Calendar is set to Sync with your gmail account on which your calendar entries exist.. Automatically the default reminder time gets placed into your newly set calendar entry without you manually having to do so..
I read what I wrote and its probably a bit confusing but ill be glad to help anyone out if they haven't quite understood! Also sorry I couldn't explain better as I am in a bit of a rush now..
I tried this, but it didn't seem to make any difference on my phone. Any time I make an appointment on my phone it still defaults to no reminder.

Are you sure when you add an Event/Task it shows your gmail address? rather than "My Calendar"?
In addition to that.. You could also go into your settings in the S Planner and then the option Calendars and un-select "My Calendar" and all other calendars you are not using except the one synced with gmail..
Found a solution

Hello,
The widget was showing me a "strange" next event.
I was not seeing it going into my calendar.
Then I had an idea:cyclops: I choosed to display the calendar of my daughter, and voilà, in fact it was one of her reminder :silly:
So, in summary, next event is showing event from other calendars that are not ticked.
Is it since last upgrade ?
Cheers

Hi there,
I have exactly the same issue, themer is displaying my colleagues events. Even though his account is not selected in my calendar.
