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.

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.

Was trying to get it to see my "orlando magic team schedule" and "us holidays" but wont

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..
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"
Since I got the OTA update, I have noticed that some of my contacts birthdays and anniversaries no longer show up in the calendar. They still show up in the contact list on my phone, and they show up in Google Contacts and well as Google Calendar, but some aren't making it to the phone calendar.
I have forced refreshes and have done things like slightly change small pieces of information (such as part of the person's name) but nothing works and I can't figure out any reason why it is only affecting a few people but not everyone; everyone else in my contacts shows up in the calendar as they're supposed to.
Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi XDA,
Long time lurker, first time poster
For while now I'm looking for an app that gives me calendar reminders. I have two calendars set-up on my android phone, 1 MS Exchange calendar (work) and 1 google calendar (personal). I'd like to get sound notifications for my personal calendar only, not for the work calendar. I like my work-calendar in my phone just so I can check what's up in my spare time, I get reminders @ the workplace via my PC.
The way I see android work is that either I get notifications for ALL calendars, or I get none. I'd like to get all notifications for one specific calendar.
I'd like an app that integrates, aka I don't want to make new calendar-entries specifically for the seperate notification. I'd like the app to look at my google calendar.
I've been looking for this kind of app for quite a while now, I'd really like it!
