How do you change your primary calendar in WP7 so that it will show events in the Calendar tile? Right now it's using my Windows Live calendar which I don't use.

What calendearing system are you using?
I've got my Live and my Exchange (email, contacts, calendar) accounts both syncing to the phone and the Calendar tile shows me my next appointment - regardless which calendar it's on. If I click the tile, it shows me my agenda with both calendars combined (different colors to show which one an appt came from).
I'd like for the Google apps for domains account via Exchange to be my main calendar. Currently it's using my Windows Live account as the main calendar but I don't use that one.
I think I turned my live calendar off on the phone.
It then defaulted to the exchange one.
yeah, I don't see a way to do that since it's the account I initialized the phone with when I first set it up.
unless you are talking about from with the calendar app. I did the same thing. However, it did not default to the next calendar on the list which is my exchange one. I still get nothing showing up in my home page calendar. I can see everything in my agenda once I click on the tile though. But I want that day's events to show up in the tile.
The calendar system will display all of your appointments from all your calendars at once, using different colors to represent different accounts. It will only show the most recent appointment on the start page tile (If there is a conflict, an idicator is shown on the tile with the first appointment in an alphabetical list showing its 'info' on the tile). It will default to the most recently used calendar when you add appointments, although you can change this using the 'Account' listbox while creating the appointment.
Well, it wasn't working until I added a new event through my phone in the calendar I wanted to be the primary. Once I did that, all my appoints started show up on the lock screen and Calendar tile. Works like a charm now!!

Unfortunately yes, for now.
No, it should show entries from any calendar that you have synced.

but it can only sync 1 calendar per email account, correct?
I think so.
So far, while trying to sync my gmail/google calendar, it only syncs primary calendar. It wont sync other calendars
Was trying to get it to see my "orlando magic team schedule" and "us holidays" but wont

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!
Thanks to Mango's multiple calendar support and Windows Live Birthday Calendar, my friends' birthdays show up on my lock screen and home screen, and i didn't have to do a single thing (beside keeping my contact list synced and organized), which is great. However, all the birthday events come with a default 12-hour reminder, which my phone notifies me, and its annoying. How do i collectively disable the reminders for all my birthday events?
Same thing has been happening to me. I think its Windows Live Calender setting/issue. Unfortunately, I don't think you can collectively disable them. I think the only way to get rid of it is to go into each birthday in your windows live calender and turn off the notification for that individual.
I found the solution (running Mango 7.5), you go into the Calender, hit the "..." on the bottom right, go to Settings and you can choose to disable birthdays or all of Windows live reminders on the calendar as well.

Thanks.. it worked for me too.. I am not sure what is the default.. I have two HTC Titans, one had it On, and other off..
Disabling the Calendar altogether is another story. It was asked if we can disable notifications for any single calendar or event.
As for disabling notifications of a specific calendar, unfortunately it cannot be done on the phone. You will have to navigate to Calendars in Hotmail and manage notifications from there
You will be presented with options when you select a single calendar and you can easily manage all your notifications (add, edit or remove). You can even send Hotmail to send you notifications via Mail or on your devices via software reminders.
I have personally tested this but have realized that even though i Disabled notifications for the Birthday Calendar of mine, notifications are still pushed to the device.
each account (settings->emails and accounts) has an option to sync contacts, emails and or calendars, right? can't you just can't you just remove calendar from sync settings..
Ok here is my problem. I have a completely stock g2x that is unlocked. I downloaded a new calendar app(business calendar) because it lets me distinguish between birthdays, events, and US holidays by making them highlighted in a different color. This makes it easier to see different events. After I separate my events and label them(birthdays, holidays,events), when I sync the calendar to my gmail account, it keeps making the events appear like the old calendar with everything highlighted in blue and you can't see the separate events. Basically what I am saying is that everytime I sync this new calendar it copies the old calendar. Now since I am not rooted, and don't plan to, I guess I can't delete or disable the stock calendar? I don't know what to do.
It doesn't make sense because when I go to settings on the old calendar, it gives you the option to sync and view birthdays(brown),events(blue),holidays(green), but when you create a new event it only gives you one option to label your event which is your email address which in turn makes the event blue like everything else. I know its kind of weird but I figured it is worth a shot to ask you guys.
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
trying to bring my birthdays from all my contacts to my phone is proving no easy task. though I have my gmail setup and all my contacts have downloaded and the birthdays are showing in each individual contact, I can't get the birthdays to appear in S planner.
I have events in my calendars in gmail that do appear but not my contact birthdays and other events.
please help!
I use acalendar+ for this. It has the ability to remind you for a birthday without the need to create an event in the calendar and it has a view to see the coming birthdays with age. It takes this info from the contact birhtday field.
It is more flexible than s planner or google calendar
I have a widget that pools everything together and its been really convenient so Id like to get that sorted
I don't think s planner is that flexible.
I also use an agenda widget that shows me birtdays and events from several calendars including google. It is also provided by acalendar+. Another app I used earlier was "business calendar 2" which also has the ability to show events and birthdays combined in one widget but it hasn't had the ability to remind me on a birthday without adding an event to the calendar
my problem is that in the settings of s planner there is an option to show contact birthdays and I have it toggled to on but still no joy
that is the reason why i canged my calendar app. S Planner has only shown the birthdays of the so called "local calendar", not from my exchange active sync account and not from my google account calendar. Might be a minor bug but that has made me change my calendar app.
And those mentioned setting is only for device contacts.

I looked in the actual s planner and i found out you have to enable Google Calendar AND Google contacts in the calendar settings. Than it shows birthadys in the calendar as daily event

Hi
I don't use SPlanner but birthdays and special events from Contacts shows there (as on Google Calendar, that I use). You have to enable it on Google Calendar: web first, and then on your phone (check to sync). See if it works for you.
Cheers

Sorry, what I suggested was for setting it up for the first time. I didn't understand you had it working before.
Found this in an other forum:
"I had similar problem. I downloaded Google calender synced it and now both calenders and s planner show all events as well as anniversary and birthdays"
This did it. Thanks a lot!

And another workaround to try:
ok guys, finally found out what was wrong!
First I want to make sure we are all on the same page here:
1. When inserting a birthday on a contact, you can see the entry in Google Calendar (https://www.google.com/calendar/render) but you cannot see the entry on S Planner!
2. The entry exists on contact level both in the contacts of the device and in the contacts of GMail Contacts
IF this is the case then the solution to the problem is the following:
Go to System Settings --> Application Manager -->ALL
Find Application "Calendar Storage"
Open it and Clear Data
Open S-Planner and Re-sync your Calendar (Menu --> Sync)
All birthdays should appear correctly now
I realized that the calendar either gets a max value and does not update or there must be a kind of bug in there cause, the entry is there (since opening Google Calendar online you can see the entry) and after deleting and re-creating the contact does not fix the problem.
