I have scoured the net and frustrated myself trying to figure this out. I have not found an ounce of info on the web about this problem.
How do you get the Google Calendar widget that is included on the galaxy tab to show the widget in full month view?
I have not found this in any options, the widget + sign doesnt give me the option, its frustrating, because it used to do it for me before, but now it doesnt.
I am not interested in another calendar application, so please dont bash google calendar app and tell me to go install such and such app instead.

I have found that when searching my phone for appointments in the calendar, I get inconsistent results. For instance, if I use an app like Power Search from the Android Market, I get 20 appointments found with the word "dentist" in my calendar which is everything as far as I can tell. If I use the built-in search on the Hero, I sometimes get 2, or 3 or 4 results, but that is it. But then I also sometimes find all 20. It appeared random at first, but it _seems_ to be related to what info I have viewed in the calendar app recently. For instance, if I swipe backwards through several months in the HTC calendar app and then do a built-in search, I find more results. It is as if the search can only find results for calendar info that has been recently cached in memory or something? Anyone else see this behaviour, or is my phone crazy?
Can someone recommend me a good calendar App?

I think you'll find that 'bumping' (reposting) is frowned upon on this site. If someone has an answer, they will reply.

Oh sorry, my bad. I didn't know that.
The biggest problem with most calendar apps is that they tie to your Google account on the device. Of course, nobody has been able to get Google sign-ins fully working on the NC. I would imagine once they get that figured out, the stock calendar and many 3rd party calendars will work.

How to Sync Calendar
Easy - just go to your Gmail account setup. You will see a box for "Add New Account". Just add your GMail account again - YES, do this. You will then see a screen for syncing stuff - on it will be an option for syncing "Calendar" - check this.
Now you can sync Google Calendar on your PC with that on the Nook Color!
There's also a PC App for syncing your Google Calendar (on PC) with your Outlook Calendar.
I've been using a combination of [paid] "Puregrid Calendar" Widget and [free] "Synker" to keep my Gmail calendar sync'd with the Nook Color. It has a nice full month calendar widget on the home screen that I really like.
I wasn't aware there was any reliable to way to sync the Gmail calendar with the device, so I'll have to give the mentioned method a shot and see if I can maybe get rid of Synker (although I like being able to sync on demand with a device that isn't connected to the Internet 24/7).
SWEET
@Docfreed - thanks - I've been trying to figure this out for days!
Try Smooth Calendar in the Market.
Doc's fix worked. Thanks.
I use Calendar Pad. It has a couple widget sizes and modes... day, week, and month.
Cheers,
Rich

Me too! Thanks.
@Docfreed, 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.
Meanwhile, synker seems to do the trick.

I had the same problem, got synker working as well but would love to not have to use it.
I tried going to gmail and adding account but got the same message as ehrune. Any help would be appreciated.
I am such a dork... can't remember anything anymore. I found another thread with a solution and I also found a semi solution that I actually posted myself. Geesh!
I posted this in December and didn't remember:
"My calendar wasn't working. I went to Calendar - menu - more - my calendar
Then I removed my calendar, added it back and voila! It populated."
A more permanent solution is in this thread:

Does anybody know a way to get the Calendar to sync with a Google Apps account? I tried to re-add the account but the option to sync with Google App still is not working.
weird bar at top of calendar
has anyone seen this weird blank bar at the top of their calendar?
anyone how to remove it? just FYI, i have my calendar syncing with google.
I just posted this elsewhere as a response to an attachment issue, then thought perhaps others have found even better solutions to replace MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDAR, TASKS and NOTES
I found better looking solutions for MAIL and CALENDAR but has anyone found better solutions for CONTACTS and an easy way to SYNC NOTES and TASKS with exchange?
I like the look of HTC Sense which I know can't run on our device, so I am looking for Apps that look similar (and have nice widgets)
Here is what I posted as a response to an attachment problem:
I have had that issue on the stock email program. There is something called smart forwarding somewhere in the setup., I think. Allows you to forward without downloading the attachment. However I ended up installing an app called ENHANCED EMAIL which I use instead of the stock app. Also doesn't require my exhange password to unlock the phone (I can use the other unlock choices ) . It this app I don't have the attachment issue. The MAIL gui is much nicer. It uses the same contacts and calendar gui.
Im fact I also use an app called BUSINESS CALENDAR which is an overlay over the calendar gui that is much more like HTC Sense and looks vastly better than the stock calendar app.
Business Calendar also has an excellent widget.

Hello,
I have an unbranded German S II. Since updating to Android 4.0.3 (through Samsung Kies), the standard calendar widget doesn't work like it used to anymore.
I synchronize with my Google account where I have multiple different calendars for different purposes (work, freetime, projects, etc.). On my phone I can go into the calendar app's configuration and tick the boxes of those calendars I want to have synchronized and shown. It used to work like that and I could make it so that only my work appointments would be shown on the calendar widget on my homescreen.
Now, after updating to ICS, the calendar widget will show all calendars at all times, rendering it less useful. No amount of fiddling with the properties has corrected this. After asking in two other forums, this is my last hope.
I really hope somebody here knows the problem and might be able to help. Or is this really just me? Thanks in advance!
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but if the stock calendar widget isn't behaving how you'd like it to, there's a Play Store brimming with alternatives. I'm sure at least one will function in the way you're hoping.
Yeah, I know. I don't need any fancy, skinnable, customizable calendar apps that fill the android market. I'd rather have the stock widget that just does what I want it to. Seeing as this worked fine before the update, I hoped there was something I could do. Alas, seems as if that is not the case. Thanks though
Hello, i have exactly the same problem. Did you find any solution ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It's good to hear someone finally acknowledging the problem. I was starting to question my sanity as it seems that out of millions of owners of the SII only I have the problem. Finally someone else speaks up, thank you for that
Sadly, I have not found a solution since. I completely changed the way I organize my events in google calendar. It's not as well organized as it was before but it gets the job done. Still, I would prefer if the calendar worked like it did before...
If you don't want to redo your whole google calendar organization, I guess you could indeed try a third party calendar. The play store is full of calendar apps; I was overwhelmed, because I just want a simple and clean calendar, like the stock one.

When you select the widget, you should be prompted to select which calaendar to display. If it doesn't, check out this alternative widget. You can still use your default calendar, but use this widget instead of the stock:

i got my m20p on thanksgiving eve, been playing with it. It just came to me that my calendar from google is not showing up in the calendar app, where i had no problems with the m9, and m10p. can someone please help me with that??? i did try adding an account to the calendar app, but its saying the account is already being used.
thanks
I gave up with the stock app as it kept complaining about needing internet connectivity & other annoyances while using it, so I've downloaded Google's own Calendar app from the Play Store & removed the built in one. The only issue with this is that when pressing the Date in the notification menu, it doesn't go through to the calendar app (they've hardcoded it to launch com.android.calendar), but that's only a minor complaint really...

In the account settings of the calendar app can't you select your account (smt like [email protected]) in the Gmail account section, and deselect MyCalendar?
