Calendar question

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.

Froyo Calendar/Accounts Functionality

This is probably a dumb question, but is there any possibility to give Eclair the ability to sync multiple Google Apps calendars? It is limited to calendars from only 1 Google Apps account, but from what I've read, that limitation was addressed in Froyo.
Thanks in advance.

Try sharing your Google calendars with your master account and give it full permissions.

Yeah, I know that there are some workarounds (like that one), but the non-main account is my business account and the calendar isn't shareable with accounts outside the company.
Edit: Thank you, though, for the response!

The one "workaround" I have in place is that I setup an "Email" account with my google credentials using m.google.com as the server, then set it to never push mail, just sync my calendar, it's a google apps account and it works.

Sorry if I am being dense, can you elaborate/clarify?
If I add any other account to the Accounts area of Settings via the Google option, it will not provide me with the ability to sync a calendar (because my primary is a Google Apps account). If I add my account via the Corporate option, it allows creation of the account, but the calendar doesn't show up in the Calendar app.

I use the Corporate email setting, using "username"@********.***, you can just as easily use a gmail address [email protected] as an example, once the settings appear for the domain\username, wipe out what's automatically placed there and instead enter [email protected] or whatever your FULL gmail/google apps email address you wish to use, enter your password and then for the Exchange Server enter m.google.com also make sure Use SSL is enabled. Once completed I uncheck syncing of contacts as I already have the same account set up in the GMail app, I set it ti NEVER push mail, no notifications, and to sync calendar, the span amount shouldn't matter. I have had no problem getting it to show up in my list of calendars and to sync accordingly.

That's great, it works! Sadly it doesn't bring in all of your calendars, just the "primary" calendar for that account... but that is a huge improvement over the normal situation.
Thanks a lot for that tip, really appreciated.

[Resolved] Wrong account in google calender - problems with push

Since a few days I have problems with the google calender. Events I create on my phone won't push to another phone. Only an email is sent to the other phone with another account.
If I take a look in the google account settings of the other (my partner) all is ok. The account based on yyyyyy*googlemail.com. Also in the settings of her calender the correct email/account address is shown.
My account is xxxxxx*googlemail.com. Main settings, Google Mail, all is fine. But when I open the setup of my calender (standard calender) I see the owner of the calender is xxxxxx*GMAIL.com. So if I create an event, the event belongs to xxxxxx*gmail.com and I think this is the reason why the event won't push to my partners phone - because she is only allowed to see events from xxxxxx*GOOGLEMAIL.com.
I tried everything - deleted all events in my calender. Create a new calender, but if I do so, the owner is also xxxxxx*gmail.com.
What can I do? I can't delete the calender or set it back to default
I am right, that this could be the reason?
I hope someone here can help me - please and thanks so long
/edit
So ... great I tried a few things again. I deleted all my events in my own calender again. After that I deleted the calender cache on my android phone.
When I now create a new event over the google webcalender, the event isn't pushed to my phone. Also all other events out of my webcalender won't sync to my phone.
A manuell sync on my phone at least creates the events on the phone.
I thought about just create a new google account at all, but I can't switch the apps I bought to another account.
/edit
Solved. Deleted account and created a new one

[Q] agenda (or calendar) application synchronisation problem

Android 11: How to change the default account for new contacts and new events?

Hello all,
I am a happy user of Android 11 on a Pixel 3a. I decided to host my contacts and my calendar events on my own Nextcloud server using the davx5 (CalDAV/CardDAV provider for Android).
So:
- I deleted all my contacts on https://contacts.google.com/
- I deleted my events and calendars on https://calendar.google.com/calendar. Unfortunately, it is impossible to delete the "Reminders", "Tasks", and my name calendars (I imagine these are default mandatory calendars)
- I synced with my Android
- I disabled the sync of "Calendar", "Contacts" and "Tasks in Calendar" for my google account in the "Accounts" settings
Now, my Android is clean from any google contact or event. But when I create a new contact or a new event, they are added to my google account by default... So I need to be careful to chose the davx5 account each time.
So my question is simple; how can set my davx5 as the default account for my new contacts or events?
Thanks for any help!
