My wife and I have each other's calendar available to each other. So on the web, we can click one or or off to see each on together or separate, and each in a different color.
I currently fine that my calendar is on the phone, but not my wife's. Do I need to 'add and account' to see hers? If so, will it be in a different color? Can I easily filter between hers and mine if I have them both on the phone?
Thanks for any thoughts.

on my current android phone that syncs all of my calendars (including my wifes) downloaded automatically in different colors.
You didn't have to 'Add and Account' and add hers? It just came down because you have it shared?
Good Nesws!
Guess what. I tried our dear friend, Google.
Here is the answer:
1. Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
2. Select Settings and then Applications.
3. Select Manage applications.
4. Press < Menu >, the select "Filter."
5. Select "Running."
6. Select Calendar Storage.
7. Press "Clear data."
8. Wait for everything to re-sync.
Hope this helps someone else.
I'm assuming that you are talking about multiple Google calendars. I'm trying to do the same. I'm able to do this on the Aria but not the Captivate. I tried to follow the same steps in settings but the "add calendar" step (that shows other Google calendars I'm subscribe to) is missing on the Captivate.
Yes, Google CAlendars.
I don't follow you though. In the instructions I listed above, there is no instruction to select "Add Calendar".
I have the multiple calendars for ONE login. So I manager calendars once logged in, and added my Work calendar.
For my wife's calendar, we just turned on sharing of her calendar with mine and it is on the list of calendars to replicate.
If you are wanting to bring down a different calendar with a different login, then you need to go into the calendar program; select Menu, CAlendar Sync, then on that screen at teh bottom will be a button "Add Accounts". I didn't want to use that for my wife's because then when I go to the sync settins, I have 2 optoins: Sync Contacts, and Sync Gmail. I don't want to sync her mail, or contacts, just the calendar.
SUCCESS!

All I want is the contacts on my sim card LISTED in the PEOPLE HUB, and dont want WP7 to alo use the HOTMAIL contacts list......
Any one know how to do this ???

Hi,
I cant find what you mentioned. Could you write a step by step if you dont mind please, just incase anyone has the same issue ?
1 . Click on Settings Tile
2 . ......etc......
Thanks in advance !!!
settings
email and contacts
tap an email address
select which content you want to synchronize
there is one exception though, your primary Live account, you can only select to sync your mail or not, the contacts will always get sync'd, I kinda got the mess under control via syncing facebook and only showing contacts that matched in email / facebook.
Here's how it SHOULD work:
Swipe to app list
Settings
Swipe to 'applications' settings
select 'people'
swipe down to list of accounts
select the account you don't want contacts for
deselect 'people' from the 'content to synchronise' set of checkboxes.
Sadly, that isn't an option for my Live login, so I have weird random MSN contacts in my list of people alongside the Exchange contacts I actually want.
Annoying! Also, you can't delete the Live account.

Done all of the above guys and a big thank you for taking time doing it !
So really we have an issue already...... L O L
Hopefully MICROSOFT WP7 team can fix this.....I'll think I'll send them a tweet, and it would be great if you guys could do the same if you use twitter ....
Thanks again guys !
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6, and I can't figure out how or if you can link Facebook profiles to your contacts. A couple of my contacts have Facebook linked to them from when I was running Fresh. As for the rest of them, I can't figure it out..

You can, just need to download the Facebook app.
I did already though.

Go to Settings, Accounts & sync, and add account. Add your FB account and then turn sync on so that your contacts are synced with their FB accounts.
It's already set up exactly like you said. I also tried to sync through the app itself, several different times. None of those tries worked. And shouldn't there be a way to link them individually? I mean just doing a sync shouldn't do anything, since it can't figure out who's who.

Long press one of the two contacts you would like to merge. Choose "Edit Contact" from the popup. Then hit menu button. Choose the "Join" option and then you can choose the other entry to merge with it. It's that simple.

Much appreciated. I have been trying to figure out how to get all my FB friends pictures to merge with my contacts while using CM 6.1 RC1.
What about when the Hero links the facebook profile to the wrong person in the first place, due to similar names? I haven't been able to separate them.

If you edit the contact and press menu, theres another option called "Separate".
A temporary solution will be presented at the end of this post.
PDA: I9000 XXJPO
PHONE: I9000 XXJPP
CSC: I9000 OXAJPO
I have two seemingly identical Factory unlocked UK-bought SIM-free models, both on official Froyo through Kies, flashed with Speedmod 341 Kernel with No-RTF Advanced lagfix applied through Kernel's in-build Sztupy's Universal Fix. Both rooted through ChainFire's tool.
If Automatic Syncing is NOT activated (saves battery and helps control traffic), then after updating the Calendar events on Samsung these updates DO NOT appear on web Google Calendar. If Automatic Syncing is ON - ALL IS FINE ON BOTH PHONES.
This needs further clarification, as two phones behave differently.
Problem No. 1: When Calendar is open and events edited WHEN BOTTOM LEFT SENSOR BUTTON PRESSED:
A. First phone gets 6 choices to choose from (Search, Create, Go to, Today, Delete, Settings).
B. Second phone gets 7 choices (Search, Create, Go to, Today, Delete, and MORE, which when pressed OPENS Choices: Settings and REFRESH).
FIRST REQUEST: Help on how to get REFRESH button among the choices on the First phone would be greatly appreciated.
Problem No. 2: When REFRESH button is pressed, nothing happens (it behaves as if something does happen, but it does not), i.e. the CALENDAR DOES NOT SYNC. Same thing happens with Calendar Widget - when Sync symbol is pressed it does not actually Sync. When similar refresh button is pressed for E-mails, they DO sync. If you follow the path of Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Choose your account from Manage Accounts -> Sync Calendar, the CALENDAR DOES SYNC.
SECOND REQUEST: Help on how to force Sync from the Calendar REFRESH button in the same manner as the "Sync Calendar" from the path above does.
On each of the phones I have more than one GMail account Synced. The one that has "Refresh" opiton has the GMail account listed at the top of the list, the one that does not - lists the Gmail account with the calendar as second in the list (not sure if that makes a difference for the , have not tested it). Also, the calendars from the two accounts on different phones are Shared (but that works ok after a bit of finetuning and tweaking).
Ideas: Clearly, the REFRESH button is not performing the same as "Sync Calendar", so the first idea was to make it do just that. However, I am not clever enough to do that (as well as not clever enough to figure out how to make the REFRESH button appear on the other phone). My first idea was to create some kind of a macro and assign it to the button. I found that "Tasker" may be able to create a macro-type sequence, however, since it is a paid app, it does not even appear on my Market choices. And even if it did, I would not have a clue as to how to assign it to that specific particular REFRESH button. Or, for that matter, how to get the REFESH button appear on the 1st phone. (See request 1).
WORKAROUND:
The only solution I have found so far is beta free app on Market called Synker. It appears as a Widget on Home Screen and allows to force sync all apps that need syncing. And it automatically picks up some of the common android apps and allows you to configure what you want syncing (e.g. contacts, e-mail, calendar etc.). That has good and not so good side effect due to one and the same reason: it syncs everything thet you've pre-set in a configuration. So, when you are checking your e-mails and updating calendar, you press Synker button before you start (to get them all updated to your phone), respond to e-mails, edit appointments etc, and press Synker button after, to get those e-mails sent from your phone and get the Calendar updated on the web. That is excellent. However, if you just looked at your Calendar to make a couple of changes, you do not want Synker to go through all of your 5 e-mail accounts, Facebook and Calendar to do the job.
Yes, it is possible to configure Synker to just update Calendar entries (which, really, should be done through Calendar's native Refresh button), but then you are deprived of the excellent functionality of this app to update all at once. And, for some reason, it is not possible to put two same Widgets with different settings, as practice shows. So, for now, for me it's the less efficient syncing of everything through Synker on any update, but, hopefully, with a little help from you, the Calendar's REFRESH button can be 1. forced to appear and 2. be fixed!
As the developer of Synker, I just wanted to note… Synker should allow for multiple widgets with different accounts/setting. I double checked this on an EVO and a Galaxy Tab after reading your post… If this isn’t working for you send me an email so we can look into it…
Thank you for the reply (and for the app!) : just re-checked, it DOES work! It is a good workaround and a great app in its own merit, which I would use for general syncing even if the problem described was fixed.
After much searching only way to manage 'Account & Sync Settings' seemed to involve reinstalling, setting account to corporate, or deleating data & forcing new setup. I was not thrilled with any of these options, so I experimented some; involved banging head against wall repeatadly. Finaly tried something that seemed to be TOO simple, but it worked.
0) Have LauncherPro installed
1) Long press on home screen
2) Select 'Shortcut'
3) Select 'Activities'
4) Select 'Account and Sync Settings'
5) Select 'com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings'
----------
6) Select icon on home screen
7) Add, delete, modify, sync, etc your accounts
1-5 only need to be done once.
Same here. Latest TnT Lite, no "activities" in the shortcuts list. Is there even any other way to get to accounts & sync?
Thanks!
MC
Yeah it was added as an option by LauncherPro.
Available from market or download from www.lancherpro.com .
Don't even have to run it, just install.
Finally an easy way to manage Google accounts on the GTab.

I too have this issue, I cannot see my calendar (important), nor can I see any of my zoe's (not that they really matter).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
For info, i'm on stock firmware with Telus (canada).
Right now all my calendar event are save in my Gmail account.
I tried saving the event in different calendar (tried theme all), and no one show in Blinkfeed.
Got it!

Spoke with HTC this is what they said...
"We appreciate you took the time to provide us with that information. To solve this situation w will remove the email account where the calendar was synced. To do so, please go Settings > accounts and sync > tap on the account > once it is open tap and hold on the bar where the name of the account is displayed and select remove. Now please set it up again and make sure the calendar will be filled. Now please go to Calendar > tap on the Three dots Menu > Accounts > + button > select account > fill the fields. Go to blinkfeed screen, Swap down slowly to reveal a menu > Tap on the three dots menu > Topics and services > slide to the left and select calendar.
Then you can check on the main screen of the blinkfeed and make sure all your events are being displayed there."
I did this, and rebooted and voila it was there.
One thing I should point out is that I had to add a 'Hotmail Account' (under accounts & sync) before it would work, simply adding my Sympatico account to 'mail' did not provide me with the same options. Also, you do not have to delete the 'mail' icon from your task bar/panel as it will start to grab your mail from the 'hotmail account'. Lastly, if there are no calendar events for 'today' you may not see the calendar event until it is the correct day. Hope this helps.
I am new to HTC so I can try to help you further if required but no promises. If I have broken any form rules please forgive me.
Cheers,
