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.
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 just helped my mom switch from her S3 to a S5. Under Settings>Accounts>Google, there is no way to turn Sync on. I can "Sync all" or manually sync each type of app - App Data, Calendar, Contacts, Drive, etc.
I have used "Sync all" and tapped to sync Calendar. It last synced just a minute ago. However, the calendar events are not showing up in my mom's Google account anywhere besides the S3. The S3 is connected to wifi.
I have checked and the Gmail address is the same everywhere - she only has one Google account.
How can I get her Calendar events synced to her Google account?
Edit: it looks like "My calendar" means the Samsung calendar. Those events show up in her Google Calendar on the S3, but nowhere else. I think I need to change the Samsung calendar events to Google Calendar events. Is there any way to do that? An export from Samsung Calendar? It's looking unlikely. This is absurd and unacceptable.
Edit2: Someone elsewhere suggesting using a third-party app called iCal Export. I was able to export the My Calendar events and import them into Google Calendar. It seems to be a successful workaround.
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.

hope there is something that can fix it
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.
Please post back results
Any way to show in Samsung calendar not only Google events but also tasks and reminders?
same issue
I don't think so.
Haven't found a way. That's why I installed Google Tasks and Keep.
