Is there any way to get the calendar app to completly disable the "My Calendar" part?
When adding new entries in calendar, i have to manualy chose google calendar each time i add a new event. I want google calendar to be the default calendar. I tried only checking google calendar in settings (unchecked My Calendar), but each time i add an event, i have to manualy chose google calendar even though My Calendar is unchecked in settings
I know its probably not a very big deal for some, but i have set up google calendar to sync with phone and outlook, and chances are, ill forget to chose the google calendar when adding an event on more than one occasion
("My Calendar" wont sync in google calendar, so thats why i have to use google calendar)
Any help would realy be apreciated. Thanks!
(PS: My phone is rooted and im using fw JM2 if that can help in any way)
I agree, this is a big irritation. I keep quickly doing calendar entries and forgetting to select google calendar, then when I check on my desktop the event isn't there. I really hope there is a fix for this.

I agree, the single most annoying part of the phone for me !!! We need a fix either from Samsung or the Dev community. Anyone know how to contact the correct departmen tin Samsung for a fix?
Good to hear it isnt just me who is annoyed of this. When you uncheck "My Calendar" in settings, it should set google to the default choice when adding a new calendar entry.
Hope someone can fix this.
This looks like a fix for ya:

Is there a customization what would allow me to record calendar items which takes place
- once every two weeks?
- Happen the last wednesday of every month?
I find the stock calendar too limiting in this aspect, and wonder if that can be fixed.

What the hell was I thinking. Of course I don't have that much patience.
I tried it and yes! it solves the issue. Calendar entries are saved by default as google calender entries. Thank you... (BTW I did it using this "manual")
I guess the same will work with the standard contact application (same problem there)
Thanks for that info!! I will give it a try as soon as i have some spare time

Im not sure, but if you use Google Calendar sync to sync 2-way between Outlook and gmail, then gmail sync against google calendar on phone i think you can do this if you put the entry into Outlook. (Maybe google online calendar has this function aswell, not sure, the Samsung Calendar does not as you pointed out earlier)
The way to do it would be like this:
Add the entry in Outlook.
Sync against gmail with google calendar sync. (This can be done automaticly on different intervals with Google Calendar Sync)
Sync phone google calendar with "online" google calendar. (This can of course also be set up to be synced automaticly from the phone)
This should in theory work
Please give feedback if you try it.
Hey.
Where is TouchWizCalendar.apk & .odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk & .odex, and InfoAlarm.apk & .odex located?
Nm, found it
/system/app for those else who wonder.
But unfortunatly, there is no com.android.calendar.apk or com.android.provider.calendar.apk in the Manage Applications list. (Even though i filtered with all)
Apperantly this doesnt work in JM2
Other people with JM2 have also reported problems installing the APK`s.

It worked like a charm on JM2 and now on JG5 .... I followed the instruction quite literally. (rebooted between every step etc etc)
Well, i cant uninstall the calendar stuff since it isnt listed in application manager, thats probably why i cant install the apk`s.

I'm a bit dim, it seems - sorry to ask, but I have set up my Outlook to sync with my Gmail account and although it shows on the Gmail page on my laptop browser, ever though I select that calendar on the phone, nothing happens.
I am obviously doing something slightly silly, but I assumed the problems would be in OTA syncing of contacts (Outlook --> Gmail account --> Hero) and I haven't even attempted that yet!
Many thanks for your help, in advance.
Hi Bigbamboo5
I am trying out an application / service called GooSync that allows you to have over the air synchronisation of calendar and contacts with your WM device.
I am unsure if there is a "free way" that you can carry out an over the air sync with google to WM devices (without restrictions) but if there is then I would be interested in finding out.
Best wishes
Kaid
Interesting, although their website doesn't show the Hero as being supported. Can you let us know what you think, if you get it working?

There wasn't really any setup apart from switching the phone on for the first time and giving it my gmail login details. That's all there was to it.
My Hero calendar haven't managed to sync since the 20th august, both mail and contacts have been syncing perfect all alone.....
You can try clearing the data for the calendar on your phone. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Calendar Storage -> Clear Data. You will obviously lose data but when you open Calendar again, it will re-sync to your Google Calendar. This seems to be the only way to get everything back in order, particularly if you have retroactively added things to your calendar (like anniversaries that originated before the current date that you have just added), or your Google Calendar wasn't active before you set up your phone. It means for the time being, the safest thing is to store all events in your Google Calendar and not in the local "My Calendar" until someone builds a better syncing mechanism with the current application.

is syncing to your calendar in your syncing options activated? to me this looks like the calender option isn't checked.
i had the strage occurance once, that somehow syncing my contacts was deactivated automatically. i just activated it again and it worked.
That seemed to kick everything back into action again. Thanks

I wondered if anyone had tried calltrack app. It basically logs any call, missed call etc to your google calender. I looked for it on the marketplace but it's not available for me. Probably another tmobile thing with not getting access to some market apps...
ANyone tried it and if it's good, got the apk?
Not available to me either, would love an apk for this one...
I've been looking today too but can't find an apk. I'm sure someone here must have tried it...
Likewise I spent quite a while looking for an apk. Does Blapk Market have it I wonder?
I believe we don't see it because Google STILL has not approved the Desire on the market... and yup, I would like this too...
Are google not approving it just to be a pain? This seems ridiculous> Is it a standard thing that gets sorted within a few weeks?
I messaged the developer as I couldn't get the application from the market due to having a Desire - pfffft!
He sent me the apk which I have posted......
CallTrack logs your phone activity to your Google Calendar. You can select the type of calls to log (incoming, outgoing, and missed) and the calendar to log them in. You can also dump your current call log to your calendar.

Working superbly for me. Suggestion: go to your gmail calender and create a seperate calender called desirecalls or something... then in the options in calltrack, select that!
Ah, saw this after getting your PM, thanks for the upload, grabbing now
Thanks
Working very fine on HTC Desire, THANKS!!!
This is great! I created a new calendar on Google called CallTrack. It showed up on my phone after a few minutes and all my calls are now logged to that calendar. That way they don't clog up my main calendar and, I assume but haven't tried yet, won't show up in Outlook after I sync.

Download the new version from market it contains some fixes for froyo.
Solved
Thx for the hint....
Marketplace won´t let me download it for some reason (Maybe because I don´t have a DESIRE).
But finally I found a Download somwhere (uhhhh, took me a lot of time to find it....) in the Net with a newer Version (CallTrack_1.10.apk).
Now it works fine!!! Great Tool !
MfG, DiLo
This is an awesome application. I highly recommend it.
I am using this CallTrack app too on my Galaxy S and created a new calendar call "Phone Calls" to track all the calls. However though it seems like I can see all call logs on my Galaxy S "Phone Call" calendar, I cannot seem to sync them onto my main Google Calendar, i.e. if I login to my Gmail through a PC and open up the calendar, it only shows the "Phone Calls" calendar without any entries. Can anyone confirm if this is normal or is this a bug? If I have to reset the Galaxy S and reload all the apps and settings, will the "Phone Call" calendar still shows the historical entries?

Rename your calendar to PhoneCalls. Avoid any space in your calendar name.

Hi there,
Here's an odd bug I've been experiencing for some time now, wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I've experienced it with the last stock Froyo EC02 install as well as the current Gingerbread EF02.
I use and really like the Sammy stock calendar app. In the calendar list it shows 3 calendars, My Calendar, the gmail calendar, and an exchange calendar. I want to set the gmail calendar as the default, but every time I do it it changes the calendar ringtone to "Silent". Then I go to ringtones and reset it to any other ringtone and the default calendar changes back to "My Calendar". WTF!
I've been living with "My Calendar" as the default, that means I have to choose the correct calendar every time I create a new event. Anyone else see this bug? Any suggestions. (Please don't just tell me the app sucks and I should use xxx instead.)
Thanks
I currently have my gmail calender set as the default and have a ringtone. I haven't set up an exchange account yet, but I need to. I'll do that and see if I can reproduce. Using virgin EC02.
Bump.......Nobody has ever seen this bug but me?
That is correct.

I have seen this as well. I just figured it was just me and never posted about it. This bug does cause me some issues. I like to use Calendar Snooze to manager my reminders. I believe this bug is what causes some of my reminders to never chime.

I have the same problem. I don't have any solution - I'm not even rooted and I'm not skilled in that sense. But I wanted you to know you're not alone or crazy. Very annoying bug.
What I've done in the past is simply log into the google calendar on my computer and delete 'my calendar'. I did it because I was annoyed by many of my entries not syncing because they were saved under the wrong calendar. But, maybe deleting 'my calendar' will help your situation as well.

Seems like a great idea, but "My calendar" doesn't show up anywhere except on my phone. I'd love to delete it from the phone but I don't know how.
I use cozi and prefer it. You might give it a try. Its in the market and syncs multiple phones together so your family can share a camera. Handy for parents.

Not what I'm looking for.
I have the same issue
I reset phone to stock. Was working fine with the CalendarAlarmHelper before the reset. Also works when using frozen or any of the like firmwares...this is the first time I've had this issue...Im testing different things right now. Adding events to my cal, fixing the sound. I'll let you know how I make out.
After Trying different programs
I tried testing what the issue was. Reinstalling gmail app, adding new calendars, different notifications, chrome imbedded calendar app function changes, nothing worked. Honestly if I could get into the program of the calendar app and edit it, im sure i could find a fix for the bug in the program. But I ended up purchasing Nudnik Calendar Notifications, this one worked for my Epic 4G it was $2.50 but well worth the hassle. Custom notifications, works for all calendar events.
Wow, a thread rises from the dead. I liked the stock calendar, but this bug made me give up on it and start using Business Calendar instead. I just missed one too many appointments because the alert kept shutting off.
Can anyone modify S Planner so it defaults to a users' google mail account rather than 'My Calendar' when entering a new event - or just get rid of My Calendar completely?

It always defaults to My Calendar but you can just click on the Google Calendar account you want to save it to when you enter the details and have it sync to that google calendar automatically. It might have been a good idea for Samsung to have made the calendar choice "sticky" from the last time it was used but, for whatever reason, they didn't.
Yes that is what I was hoping someone could modify - it is just so annoying having to select the google calendar every time you make an entry. Since I do lots of entries it makes this programme unusable for me.
For me it always default to my Google calendar. But if you dont use My calendar - why just not untick in settings - calendars? After that I suppose your Google calendar would be default
There are two or rather three very annoying problems about the S-Plannar. First - "My calendar" is default no matter what, second - when you tap "event details" the "all day" box is ticked by default and third - when you untick this box, the date when the event ends changes to the next day, so you have to edit it every single time. This really makes me furious, dunno what kind of a retard had these "helpful" ideas, it really ruins the experience if you use it a lot.
Luckily, there is a way around it. What I did was I unticked all the calendars except my google calendar and second - when creating a new event I don't tap the day of the month on calendar, I tap an empty space below the calendar (where it says "No event (tap to create)". Unfortunately it works only for te first appointment of the day, but it's usually enough or me.
Ultimately, I'd be very grateful if somebody skilled could modify these things.
Thanks for that idea but it defaults to My Calendar no matter what

Strange, but hey it is a Samsung
meh , this is very very annoying ! dunno what samsung were thinking when they added those stupid "touches" to that app !!!
its frustrating , u can never use the device as your daily organizer without bugging u out or driving u furious for those tiny little details that samsung left out !!!
is there a way to contact samsung about it and hope they can change it with ICS or any other update ? or we have to rely on xda developers ?

Syncing is not the problem here tho!
mine one can select either my calendar or gmail.. now Im able to sync event with google calendar
I tried to sync with Google calendar from Settings/Google account, it says synced but when I go into the default Calendar app and refresh the calendar is still blank with no entries.
Did lot of settings and cleared data under Calendar in Apps and enabled/disabled and re-synced as well but nothing is working. Also followed this but it didnt helped either.
What can be done??
My phone calendar still shows just one test entry I had created.
Rest my phone is working fine.
I thought so too, but I found out that entries are just not marked. For example i have important thing on 09. of february (which i synced with google on my old phone) and it wasn't marked. I tried and tried everything, but the last thing I did is click on that date to realise the event is there and synced, but just not shown in color.
@nri_tech1183 as stated in your link you just need to clear data and cache for Calendar Storage app. Then enter Calendar app and wait a few seconds, all should be fine.
If issue isn't gone try another calendar app to see how it behaves.
