I just bought a new phone for my daughter (a Huawei Ascend P7).
When personalizing her phone she put all events in the local calendar instead of the Gmail calendar.
I was looking for a way to transfer events from the local calendar to the Gmail calendar.
I first tried to find how to do it on my own phone (Sony Xperia Z3 compact)
The best I could find was iCal, with this app I can export the local calendar and then import that data into the gmail calendar, so far so good.
But now I can see duplicates for all events, once from the local calendar and once from the gmail calendar.
So I want to get rid of those duplicates. I could not find a way to delete all events from a specific calendar.
The only option I could see was to delete the local calendar in iCal.
Now duplicate calendar events are gone but I want to keep an empty local calendar.
iCall can create an agenda but only when it is linked to an email account so no local calendar.
My questions are
- is there a way of accomplishing this without deleting the local calendar?
- is there a way of (re)creating the local calendar? my Z3 Compact is rooted but the Huawei isn't

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?
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.

Moving to Q&A
I have had the stock calendar working but I would highly recommend Business Calendar.
Way better in every way.
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
Hi all
Are there a way to transfer outlook.com calendar entries to Google Calendar?
Detailed guide please
Are there any calendar programs other than Google's that can import or sync outlook.com calendar entries. And can show entries in grid view.
Reason: my friend just switched from his Nokia Lumia to a new Huawei Honor x5, and needs to get all his calendar entries over to the Huawei. We tried to install the outlook.com App and it works, but cannot show the calendar in grid view like my friend like and are used to.
Preferebly free App's, but paid can also do it if not too expensive.
with kind regards

theres an IFTTT recipe for that
Hello dear XDA comunity,
I would like to have all calendar events from one account always copied (i.e. synced) to another.
More precisely: My calendar app (acalendar) displays all events from my google account plus all events from an other account created by the app "Calendar Sync for Facebook". That is totally fine. But I would like to also see those Facebook events in my google calendar on the desktop. So do you know a way to sync events from one calendar account to another? Maybe an app?
Best regards,
Willy
