S Planner annoyance - how do I make my Gmail calendar my default calendar? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why on Earth does S Planner default to My Calendar instead of my Google Calendar? It's an unnecessary annoyance to always change calendar's.

Hey, I'm with you on this.
Regards.

Yes, I agree and it has been pointed out in two other threads. Hopefully either Samsung or a developer will rectify this at some point. Calengoo is a good alternative calendar that allows you to sync to google

Is there any way to Sync my gmail Tasks wiht s planner tasks?

I just go into the options and tell it NOT to show the internal calendars. Only my Google Calendars.

Same issue here, hiding them is good but not when the default is set to samsung when you add new event and then you cant see the events.
Guess have to move away from S planner.

Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync> Click individual accounts and switch off calendar sync for calendars you don't want to sync.
Go to S-Planner>Settings>Calendars> Deselect the calendars you do not want to display
I have 2 Gmail accounts (Personal) and 1 Exchange account (Corporate) configured. But I sync only the Exchange calendar and it works good. It saves to the Exchange calendar by default.

Geoux, thanks. However I couldn't disable My Calendar in system settings. I did disable calendar sync of the Samsung account and that seemed to help. When I now go to calendar settings I still see My calendar and I can't unmark it. But that's no issue because when I make a new appointment it will have Gmail account as default

Setting a default calendar when adding events

Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to set the default calender on the captivate when adding a calender event it always defaults to "my calendar" which is in the phone. Every time I add an event to my calender I would like it to go to my gmail calender instead of always having to change it.
I'm surprised nobody has run into this yet. Does anyone use their calendar???
yeah I have the same problem.
Couldn't find a setting to change it. I will play with it a little more right now.
yep no luck.
Even went into settings while in calendar and unchecked the "my calendar" one - it still comes up as default.
No setting for it.
I haven't tried this yet, but if you add an event to "my calendar" does it still sync with the Gmail account? I assume no...

Anything on this issue yet? Isn't the point of a google phone to be able to integrate into google applications like calendar? This is a horrible feature on this phone which for me is a pain as i enter a lot of calendar entries daily. It worked just fine on my htc hero (as did the gps and contact groups...).

Did you go to Settings / Accounts and sync / your Gmail account, then check Sync Calander?

Yes. My gmail account syncs just fine. The problem is when you add an appointment to the calendar on the phone, it defaults to "my calendar" (which will not sync with google). I would like for it to default to my google calendar when adding an entry on the phone.

Try an alternative calendar app like Gemini Calendar or Jorte Calendar. They are both free and let you use your Google Calendar by default.
I chatted online with a Samsung person to find out if there was a way to make the Google calendar the default in the calendar app that comes with the phone. She claimed that she was able to sync an event from her phone calendar with her Google calendar, but the steps she told me to use did not work for me. I think she didn't understand what I was asking.

Im currently using Jorte and it is working fine. I hope samsung gets a fix for this as i do like the layout of the stock samsung calendar.

Really?
Create an event, change the calendar where it is saved to your gmail account, click ok, SAVE EVENT. If you don't want the event, delete it.
Next time you create an event it will default to your gmail account.
I have no issue with the calendar.
Open the calendar app, press the menu button, select more, select setting, select calendars, un-check 'My Calendar' done.

This is not working for me. Is there an actual setting somewhere you can set to force the phone to do what it's supposed to do?

Calendar sync issues

Hi I just received my galaxy, so possible a NOOB problem.
The problem is that I have a google calendar, and on my phone it sees both the appointments I have done on the phone and the google appointments - so this is fine.
If I make a appointment via a computer at the net on the google calendar, then it will show up on the phone calendar - this is fine.
BUT if I make an appointment on the phone - it will not show up on the google calendar on the net.
It seems like the phone uses "My Calendar" which is not synced with the google calendar - so have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you did the calender mark did you choose google calender and not the phone calender?? take a close look so u have choose that before apply the appointment/mark in the cal. when you set the day/clock under that you can choose what calender to use....I missed that too...
Ok thanks - found the setting.
Is it possible to change the behaviour, so that when you make an appointment on the phone it is by default using the google calendar and not the phone calendar?
I dont think you can set it as default..not sure. With some app maybe? I just have my Galaxy for 4 days so everything is new
Thanks, compared to me you are very experienced (had mine for 1 day)
I would also be interested in a way to change the default.
Additionally I'd like to have the automatically created birthday events appear in one of my Google calendars, not in the phone calendar. Has anybody an idea on how to do that?
It says "with Google" on the phone, if I'm selling my soul to Google, at least I'd like to do it completely and thoroughly.
I'm syncing with my Yahoo Calendars, my 2 Gmail account Calendars
also contact from those 3 accounts too, and IM from MSN, google, yahoo, tweeter, facebook
this phone is Amazing! at keeping everything in sync
just make sure on the account page your accounts are all with the Green sync circle

what about setting up an exchange account and only using it to sync your work calendar?
or set up your primary account calendar to have access to your work calendar.
the nice thing with android 2.2 is that it will fully sync multiple gmail accts, including calendars
did you ever get this resolved?

[Q] Multiple Google Calendar selections

I have searched for a solution for syncing my various calendars on my Google account and I have not found a solution yet.
Currently I can sync my main Google calendar, Contact's birthdays and US Holidays but not my Dallas Mavericks calendar. I don't know how it misses it. Is there a limit on how many calendars that can be synced on one Google account?

There is no limit.
Go into the default Calendar application... Menu > Settings > Calendars (is the first option, under View Settings). If it's not there, then you most likely do not have access to the calendar on the account that you're logged in to on your phone.
I tried that.

Actually I have done this. I can see my basic Google calendar as well as "#[email protected]" and "en.usa#[email protected]" all of which i have selected on the web-based Google calendar.
I just can't find out how to get the Google calendars I have selected on the web to show up in my Android calendar.

Help with do not disturb events

Hi,
I use a do not disturb events rule to silence notifications during anything scheduled on my work calendar, but not my personal calendar. My work just screwed around with how we access our work calendars and we are now using the outlook android app, which does not play nice with Google. I setup a calendar sync to a separate google calendar associated with my google account, and now I can nicely see all of my work calendar events in it (in its own colour), but I cannot find a way to make do not disturb only turn on for events on the WORK calendar and not all of the calendars that are part of my google account. Any ideas? I guess I could create a ghost google account just to sync work e-mail, but quite a kluge.
I'm so sorry. My work is FINALLY ditching outlook for Gmail (and Google apps for education) and I can't wait to have a real calendar app!
