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??

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.

what benefit does this have to the OP? we get it... why not help or leave?
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 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.

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 Google account syncing just fine on the phone, but when I go to Calendar app to view what my agenda shows for the day, nothing shows except the birthdays.
I have tried adding the account again but zmesssge says "Account already installed."
I've looked in the app to see what calendars get shown and all I see is the phones contacts.
How do I get my Google calendar appointments to show up and not just birthdays.
Thanks very much.
PS - I'm not having syncing problems like other users have posted, it's just that nothing shows up, only birthdays.
Are you using Google calendar app or default Huawei...?
I'm using Google Calendar but it doesn't show up as one of the calendars listed even though the account is installed on the phone.
I've always used my Google calendar as my default on my phone without installing any extra app as the entries normally just sync via Account settings.
I know I can download and install the actual Google Calendar app but would rather just have everything sync with the default installed calendar app.
