I have a question about the calendar app in 2.1 on the hero. If I have 2 google accounts with a personal calendar on one and a business calendar on the other account, I know that I can link both accounts to the phone so that I can sync the calendars down from google to the phone. So when you go to the calendars option in the calendar setting it shows 3 calendars, google personal, google work, and my calendar. The question is this. Is there any to create an appointment and have it only sync with the personal google calendar? Would I have to go to the calendar settings and uncheck the other 2, make the appointment and sync it and the check the other 2 again?

Yes, just use the top drop down menu when you add an event. By default it will only publish to one calendar, you just need to tell it which one. Personal you would use that calander, work, you select that one.
Hope that helps
edit: You can also go to the web calendar app and link your work calendar so you can "see" it on your personal one. Then when you use that google account on the phone the work calendar will appear in the "view calendar" menu. I do this for my wife's calendar and I can post to hers as well, I just have to tell the phone which calendar to add the event to when I create it, all from one google account.

Hey,
I have a whole range of appointments on my Hotmail account, but they don't show on my phone.
I have added the email account to the phone and when I go to calendar -> ... -> calendars
I see my hoymail account is there in magenta.
If I go to the hotmai tile and prss the sync ico I receive my emails but no appointments.
I've checked the calendar in the settings.
Am I missing something?
Edit: appareantly it only syncs the main calendar, not the calendars you add manually.
ARRAY[0] always wins.
yea, at present only the default calendar syncs. hopefully MS implements multiple calendars for the update...
I have 4 calendars that sync to my phone.. all work perfectly fine... 1 gmail calendar my personal windows live calendar, my wifes personal windows live calendar and then our business windows live calendar.
Each Calendar does have its own email account. If you haven't done so already go to settings... email & accounts then select the account in question... make sure that you have the "calendar" box checked... If my business one has 3 boxes I can check for content to sync. Email, Contacts and Calendar.
I tinkered with this for a while to get it working. We actually had ONE family account that had 2 separate calendars linked in that account. When in outlook I could see the two calendars and when I would make changes it would update the windows live calendar online BUT it wouldn't push the second calendar to my phone just the main one associated with the account. As such I just left that one as my wifes personal calendar and I made myself another one that can sync to both of our phones (we both have the Focus)
Once all the accounts were configured we now are able to make changes to the calendars on the phone or computer (either right in windows live or in outlook) and everything all syncs nicely now.
side note... in the same settings place you can select how often your content syncs.. I have mine set to 30 minutes BUT if I want to sync the calendar after making a change I go back to settings and accounts select but hold your finger on whatever account you want to sync and an option comes up to sync or delete account.. select sync and it will do its thing.
Additional Side note: As both my wife and I have the focus (I got her away from the Iphone) we both use our main family email address as the main account on the phone... what I discovered after doing a hard reset a few days ago was that when I rebooted the phone it installed ALL the apps she had purchased up to that date. I myself haven't purchased any and was a little confused while all these random aps were on my phone. Perhaps a glitch in their design but works for me!!!
Hi Aaron,
Seek your advice:
My appointments are all in Microsoft Outlook Calendar. Currently I would save the calendar in a temporary folder in my laptop, and then upload the file to my Window Live using the same laptop, then syn my phone to the Window Live on 3G network. I wonder if there is any easier way to syn my calendar.
Thanks.
much easier way.. just add your windows live account to outlook..
In Outlook it's usually *file ---> add account
Once you have added your windows live account you'll see it under your calendar tab.
When you open your calendar in outlook you can have it so both your outlook and windows live calendar are open side by side. Just simply highlight the appointments you want synced and you're good to go. Once thats done any changes you make on the windows live calendar IN outlook will sync to your windows live online account... and your phone.
Hope this helps
Hi Aaron,
Thanks a lot. Will try this out right away!
So I have 2 main email Adresses conected with my Phone.
One is my Xbox live account and the second one is the Primary calender and Gmail account I use. Both are Gmail Accounts.
The Problem is that the calender syncs neither of those accounts.
How do I fix that?
it is set to Sync in the options.
Thanks in advance!
wp7 can currently sync the 'main' calendar from any of your email accounts. It wont sync either of them? It should be able to sync both calendars if you want to (only the primary calendar for each).
Thanks for the quick reply
so I tested it with both accounts. It does sync the calender if I enter the date on the pc, but it does not sync it back to the gmail calender if I create the event on the phone.
hmm..that is weird. I put things on my phone all the time, and they end up in my online calendar as well. Although I just use my hotmail calendar.
Try unchecking the sync with calendar box, and redoing it. I really don't know why it only sync's one way, maybe somebody else can chime in?
I know thats the weird thing.
So i did some testing the primary email acc is the [email protected] addy, but the main acc I use is the other one.
If i use the calender on gmail it wont work, but it will copy from the hotmail cal to the phone but not back to the hotmail cal.
And my main acc doe not sync at all.
it is very weird, maybe because I have two accs?
I just tested with my Google Calendar. Put in an appointment on phone, and it was up online within seconds.
Then I deleted that event online, and was taken off phone. I then added a different one online, and it was sent to the phone calendar almost instantly.
Worked very well, so not sure whats causing your issue
Hello,
I have set up my exchange account and email and contacts work great. The only issue that I'm having is that all my calendars won't sync. Only my main calendar syncs. Any ideas? My personal category syncs, but my home and work categories won't sync.
I am having problems syncing all my calendars. I sync two google accounts with multiple calendars in each (my calendars). The problems is, that the second google account does not show all the calendars on the phone in calendar.
Also, I use Agenda Widget that I use as a calendar replacement. Under its options, it actually lists the missing calendars, but even if i check them, they do not show up.
So I deleted a bunch of my calendars that I use less, hoping that maybe it was something like it only allows a certain number of calendars. The second account will only sync the main calendar, not the other calendars i have under "my calendars"
I just upgraded from a myt3g running yoshi, and I did not have this problem with either the calendar or the agenda widget app.
tldr; my phone only syncs my primary calendar and nothing else from "my calendars"
I love the s-calendar widget, but I prefer the google calendar app.
In addition, this tablet has two additional calendars (a local one + a samsung one) that I cannot remove: I can hode them (that is, I make visible only google calendars) but I still get the option when creating a new event.
Anyone found a way to remove the two above calendars?
Anyone has suggestions, tips, tricks when using both samsung and google calendar applications? (for example, to avoid double notification, inconsistencies, etc)
thanks
I think if you disable sync calender in accounts the calender wont sync and hence no double notifications, I am not to sure about it you can try and disable the sync of the calender you do want you to notify

yes I have disabled the sync of the samsung calendar, but when I create an event I still have the opportunity to choose it from the list of the available calendars...
also, I have noticed that when creating an event with s-calendar there is no remonder: you have to add it, while with google calendar there's always a default reminder
In S Planner in settings below settings you will all you accounts have you gone into different accounts and uncheck all the sync settings

either I have a different s-planner or I am still missing something...
I have disabled sync for all non-google calendars and this solved half of my problem: now in s-planner I only see the google calendars (3 in total)
ut when I create a new event in s-planner, in the list of available calendars, I still see 5 calendars: the 3 google calendars, the local one (calendario personale, in the picture) and the samsung one (samsung calendar in the pic).

Look at this
The more you check the more events will be visible

I did that, but samsung calendar and local calendar still shoe up in the list of available calendars when creating an event...
The above option will help you in telling Splanner with which accounts to sync the accounts
This option will allow you to select from which accounts the calender events should be displayed
As far displaying the number of accounts my list is even more then yours I have around 5 same samsung accounts
