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 have created a new contact person in Google Contacts on my PC (Win7, IE9) and added a birthday event to this person.
The event is not showing on Google Calendar (even with subscription for “Contacts' birthdays and events” under settings).
It is showing in Calendar on my ICS android (HTC One S) mobile device.
I deleted this new person from Google Contacts (on PC) and the problem now is that the birthday event remains in android calendar (still not shown in PC-Google Calendar) and I can't delete it.

I had a lot of problems with the HTC calendar finding and syncing to sources with bad information such as incorrect birthdays. I would suggest clearing all cache and data from the calendar, then opening the app and selecting only the data sources you want, breaking the links to any you don't. I can't describe the exact steps because it's not very clear to the user and I don't have a Sense ROM right now (for reasons such as this exactly).
Solution
It seems that I got a solution (not perfect one - because the data is out there somewhere not actually deleted.... but it works...):
I choose to display only the Google calendar diary (my user), not choosing the Contacts (perhaps its local one, although the event was created on Google acount...)
Oh well.....
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).

maybe u can also help me with the default reminder missing in s-planner when creating a new event
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.

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
I have my wife's calendar synced with my google calendar. Her calendar events keep popping up on the ambient display of my pixel 3. Can I select which calendars display when the screen is locked?
I like being able to see her calendar when I open the calendar app, but I don't need my phone to display that it's almost time for her to pick up the kids from school.
Regular notifications from her calendar don't display, but the ambient lock screen notifications do.
Any suggestions welcome.
I have my fiancee's calendar synced with mine and it doesn't display on my lock screen. She shared it with me though. Do you have your wife's Google account added as a second account on your phone or did she go into Calendar settings and share with your Google account? If she added you as an attendee the her events they are in your calendar too, which could be another reason why they are showing up.
If I slide out the menu in the Calendar app under the view options I see my Google account and it says Events, Reminders, her name and my friend's name (who also shared his calendar with me). I do have another Google account stored in my phone but don't use the calendar on that account and all the boxes are unchecked.
Her events show on my calendar in a different color.

Thanks for the idea's.. solution below
I added her calendar on the desktop browser version of google calendar (~5 yrs ago). She shared full permissions to create/edit/manage events in her calendar, so it's listed on my Google account as one of MY calendars.
SOLUTION: On her account, I went to the calendar in question and changed my permissions so that I can view events, but can no longer edit them. When I did this, the calendar moved from the section of the google calendar website (when viewed from a PC) called 'my calendars' to the section called 'other calendars'. Her events no longer show up on the ambient display when my screen is locked.
It looks like my pixel3 will display upcoming events from MY calendars on google, but not ones that I have added by URL or have view-only permissions for.
Follow up question: Anyone know if I can I set it so that a calendar added by URL does display on the ambient display (the opposite of my original post)? For example, my soccer team publishes an iCal link with all their games. I have added it to my google calendar, and it would be nice to have the ambient display show those events.
Interested to know if you worked out how to display a calendar by URL on your Pixel AOD....I'd like to do this too but it appears you can only display your Google Calendar and specifically only events created in the Google Calendar??
