[Q] Clearing "My Calendar"? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

A two-part question: I somehow synced all my Facebook events to the Samsung calendar "My Calendar." As I have about 600 Facebook friends, the thing is filled with birthdays, and it just overpowers the calendar. Anyone know how to clear "my calendar" so all these birthdays are gone (I don't mind clearing everything if it gets rid of the birthdays) And part two, obviously, is I don't want Facebook to sync with my calendar in the future to prevent this problem. I have sync for Facebook disabled in settings, but somehow all these birthdays are getting added to "my calendar" regardless. Anyone know how to prevent that?
Thanks so much in advance!

[Q] Stock calendar not syncing with google calendar?

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?

[Q] Phone calendar won't sync with google cal.

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?

Contacts Birthdays not showing in Calendar

Hi
I have added birth dates to my gmail (google synced) contacts on my desktop pc. When I go to calendar on the pc birthdays show up.
I want the birthdays to show up on my phone calendar.
I have turned Google sync on to update my contact info, in the stock calendar I have found the option "My Calendars, Gmail, Contacts Birthdays and events, Synced & Visable"
The birthdays still dont show up in my phone calendar also when I go to contacts/Info in my phone there is no entry box for Birthdays?
Any ideas if I'm missing somthing?

DAMN I got the same problem...
I actually missed one of my best friends birthday due to this. I was calm that my phone would inform me, but NOPE! Although I have the birth dates on my Contacts, and they show OK on PC and on my Samsung Y Pro, they dont on Xperia S!
---EDIT---
Birthdays are not even shown in the contacts details! And I cannot even add a birthdate in a contact!
We must be missing something, this cant be real...
It sure does suck! Just hope were missing somthing simple.
Same here but I added the birthday details in google contacts it doesn't show up neither in the contacts nor in the calendar but it shows up in the 3rd party Birthday app.
I think this is a known problem.
K900 (if I remember correctly) said that it would be fixed in ICS.

So! Is it true that the problem was not fixed with 4.0.4 update?
Can anyone clarify?
Ive not seen anything to make me think its fixed

Cant sync phone calendar to gmail

Im trying to sync my contacts and calendar from the phone to gmail so its available out there in case I need to pull it down to reset/new phone etc. I finally figured out how to get my freaking contacts out there. But the calendar is still not showing up on my gmail account calendar online. I only have the one calendar on the phone, everything is checked and it acts like it syncs, no errors, but calendar is blank online gmail. What could be the issue?
I just read that one person stated you can NOT sync from the phone calendar to gmail, only the other way around...this cant be true.

Its not true. You can sync between your gmail calendars fine between phone and gmail. But the samsung also adds a new calendar in the Calendars app called "Samsung Calendar" and this does not show up in gmail. At least from my experience.
Same issue here. Except I think I'm trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to get what's in my gmail calendar to show up on the phone's calendar and I can't figure out how. When I open up the calendar app, I have "My Calendar" and below that I have my gmail calendar. If I put a checkmark on the gmail calendar, all my events show up, but if I remove the checkmark and only show "My Calendar", obviously none of my events show up.
Is there any way I can move the events in the gmail calendar into "My Calendar"?
Actually you just said the same thing, so it does appear you cant sync the phone default calendar with gmail, at least not sync from phone to online, only the other way. Why the hell would there be more than one on there? Sorry coming from an iphone pretty much you had the calendar app right there on the home screen and the S3 is the same, but sorry this one doesnt play well with google?? Ok so is there an easy way to sync the phone calendar with the phone gmail calendar, then sync it online?
Dont get me wrong, I will not miss the iphone at all, just seems some simple tasks should well, be simple. Thanks guys

[Q] Remove synced Google calendars entirely

Hi everyone!
I want to remove all google calendars from my phone. I'm using an other CalDAV service. That's why I find them distracting and want to get rid of them.
I did de-select syncing the calendar in my Google account on my phone (Xperia Z2) so the calendar won't get synced any more. I also read that people cleared the calendar storage. I tried to clear that as well as both calendar apps (Android/Google and Sony). This will actually remove the Google calendars for a few moments, however, they are coming back :crying:
Is there a way to get rid of the calendars entirely?
My device is not rooted and I have no intentions to change that just to get rid of the Google calendars...
Thanks in advance!
