Can anyone explain why the calendar app, synced to a google calendar, displays calendar entries on the phone but doesn't display any entries when i log in to the same account on google calendar through my laptop?
Am i missing something in the way it is set up?

As you know, Google don't have to/must not know everything, especially calendar entries of buisyness man.
I don't want google to know my appointments a.s.o.!
Is it possible to use the google calendar on the phone without synchronizing with the Google server but sync with the personal outlook?
Perhaps there is a independent calendar app, don't need to access the htc or google calendar, but is able to sync with outlook... AND is able to set appointments as private?
Perhaps it is possible to have my own "google server" for me and my family at home?
There's absolutely no need for synchronizing with google, you can always uncheck it if you don't want it and only synchronize with Outlook.
And there's also no need to even use the built-in calendar application, there are others in the market.
You just have to have a Google account, but that doesn't mean you have to give google your appointment details.
I don't know if there's an application where you can set your appointments as private, at least for Exchange server it is not possible, unfortunately.
I've not found a stand alone calendar application in the market with their own database. If you know one please tell me.
All calendars i found use the build-in google or htc calendarDatabase.
Yes, that's possible, I may be wrong. But still, with the built-in calendar you don't have to sync with your google calendar. If you just sync with Outlook, even though you'll see your appointments in the Google calendar app, they won't be synchronized with your Google account.
I use the HTC calendar app and sync it to my PC's outlook calendar and HTCSync. Same with my contacts. Don't go anywhere near Google for any of that
Yes, the htc calendar is a stand-alone app. But if you use your business calendar for privat, too, you need the possibility to set appointments as privat. And the htc calendar isn't capable of that.
I have 4 different google calendars... Birthdays, Class Schedule, Assignments, and my regular personal Calendar. I want to be able to sync all of the calendars with WP7 but everywhere i've looked says it can only be done by syncing the calendars to outlook, then syncing outlook to the phone.
Has anyone figured out a way to do this without syncing it to Outlook? I already have an Outlook calendar for work and merging the two and not being able to differentiate them would just be a big mess...
Setup a google mail account (for each account of course)
Go in those accounts to settings > sync settings > and tick the option "calendar" where you will also find the option for mail and contacts
All the calendar items will appear in the calendar of WP7. Or at least, this is how it works for me
Edit:
Somebody might put some additional notes to this, as i have no idea if the calendar that is used is automatically the outlook calendar?
depends on if u haave a google account for home and another for school like some colleges use the google apps domain to host their email and calendar ervvices you can set this up by going to settings email and accounts then add an account hit google and enter your full email and password even though it says username that threw me off the first time too so im just telling you now
[REMOVED OP question: How can I get google calendar (calendar) to work/sync on mn4.5.6?]
Calendar app appears to handle 3 calendars: My Calendar, Google Calendar, and US Holiday Calendar. It sync's well with the Google Calendar (online). Recently, I added a couple of appointments using the Calendar App on my NC. Later, I noticed they were not on my Google calendar. So I checked on my NC and discovered the multiple calendars. When adding an event (appointment), I get the option to select the calendar. But when I go to edit the event, that option is missing. Is this programmed this way or am I missing something other than new events (appointments)?
The standard calendar app doesnt show all calendars. If I add new calendars though there are shown in the standard Calendar app.
Weird enough some third party apps do allow to select all other gmail app calendars, but they are marked as inactive?

With google calender the first time the sync occurs, it happnes with the calenders that are enabled google calendar on the web.
Here is what u can do .
1. Go to google.com/calendar and make all the calendars visible
2. In phone - settings /manage applications delete the data from calendar and calender storage.
3. then settings / accounts and sync - re sync calendar.
Now all the calenders will come in calendar app in phone.
Select the ones that u want.
Thanky you
I tried your method of deleting the data and then re-syncing the accounts. But, now even the main calendar from my google account has disappeared and refuses to show up. Is there something missing here??? Cal widget for example shows all the calendars in its configurations but does not show any of the events from the same.
there is something wrong with the default calendar. I am running stock rom xxki3.
Hi, I had similar issue, i think this is one of known issue on android, I tried "clear data" method, sometimes it may work, sometime it doesnt. I google for solution and I found this temporary workaround would solve the issue, atleast for me..
you may want to try this:-
1. Go to android setting, application (all), clear data on calendar storage (WARNING-this step will wipe all calendar entries which were saved internally on your phone)
2. Go to market, download & install this app called: Business calendar (FREE)
(This app have direct connection to google calendar, which will also download and keep all of your calendars entries (including sub calendars)
3. Open business calendar, login with your gmail account, and it will start sync
(manual: more > sync now) it may take few mins, be patient.
this way, your stock or default calendar will get synced as well automatically...try this out
Thanks for the tip. After selecting the sub-calendars on the app, the default calendar also started recognizing the same. Weird.....
This tips is working.
First time, this doesn't work, I had to erase my google account (by the way to refresh my apps ^^).
But the second time, it worked.

I think this is a bug in Samsung Calendar app. The first time the phone synchronize with google calendar, the phone will download all calendars available for the google account. Each calendar has two flags, sync and visible. The first time, all calendars will be flag unsync and hidden (not visible) except our main calendar. After that we can use the calendar app to choose which calendar will be sync and visible. The problem with Samsung Calendar app, if the calendar is flagged as hidden, then the Calendar apps won't recognize the calendar at all, so we can't change the flag to visible. This does not happen with my other phone. So this is not Android bug. I think this bug exist since Samsung Galaxy S. Someone in Galaxy S use sql editor to edit the calendar database. Meanwhile I use Calengoo. Bussiness Calendar can be used as well
My main Gmail account is fully synced with my device.
In all calendar apps, no appointments from it (and any other gmail account) are displayed (checked with stock calendar, CAL, widgets etc.)
My Gmail calendar is not even displayed in the list of available calendars in any app.
Of course, all my appointments are there on the web version of Google calendar, and all are fully synced.
Any advise to remedy that annoying issue would be very welcome.
Amir.
