Help with do not disturb events - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Can't switch calendar events to different calendars.

I have two calendars on my phone, one is the google calendar and the other is called 'exchange' that I imported and kept saving events under.
First issue I had was that the 'exchange' calendar wasn't updating on my google calendar, so I tried switch some of my exchange events to the google calendar but I don't get the pull-down option when in the event edit mode.
Any clue what's going on or how I can go about fixing this issue?
Thanks

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

[Q] Tasks and Birthdays

What's the best way to manage tasks and birthdays on Froyo?
Tasks like things I have to do but not necessarily on a specific date but like "do it this week".
For birthdays, enable the special calendar in Google Calendar site and the phone will sync them.
Use gtasks for google tasks.
for birthdays i just sync with my google calendar which i have entered all my people's Bdays into.
for tasks i'm lame. i just schedule an event on my calendar for certains days during the week like "pay phone bill" on wed 11-11:30. works for me and i get the notification reminder and all.
I use gtasks too but I would love if they are shown in the calendar somehow...
for the birthdays I would like to be able to enter them with the phone, I do not want to use the calendar website
edit: I tried to use the birthday calendar on the website, but I can't add a date to it, its always added to my normal calendar...
okay I now got the birthdays into the calendar but they still do not show up on the phone, they do on google calendar website...
I hate that this feature is not implemented naturally on the phone.
even the cheapest phones have a build in calendar for birthdays...but an advanced phone like this not?
Using Astrid for tasks. Syncs online with Google Tasks, too.

You sure you hit the check box for The new calendar? I added all my contacts birthdays as their own calendar and just hit the check box for it.

S Planner annoyance - how do I make my Gmail calendar my default calendar?

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

Calendars not showing in the calendar app

Hi,
I have a stock rooted HD+ and I have synced my gmail account to my calendar. However I have several calendars attached to my gmail account and only my main calendar events show (none of the other shared calendar events show up). I have searched the forum and couldn't seem to find an answer. I've tried downloading Google Calendar, Business Calendar as well as the stock calendar, but all just show the main calendar events. In my GS3, I can go into the calendar setting and select what calendars show, under my gmail account, I see all my shared calendars, However I don't have that option with the HD+. Does any one have a solution?
Thanks!
