Hello, Im using unrooted stock SE 2.1 firmware latest version.
I go to school and have 100000 things to do so i put them on my calender.
i was just writing my new calender for this semester and just when i started adding all of my exam dates, bam a portion of my calender is gone.
im so pissed off, took me 3 hrs to complete all of that(it included all my classes, their locations, when my hw is due, workout time, etc...)
anyone else have this problem?
and any remedies for this retarded problem?
oh and just to let you know im a heavy calender user, on the agenda view i have up to 5-10 events per day.
Try google calendar (gcal) on your PC then sync everything to the stock calendar program on your x10 via wifi or 3g.
That way you have a backup copy of your calendar online

When I add an appointment to my calendar it adds it to My Calendar as default. Does anyone know how to default it to a google calendar like, other Android phones?

I am also having this problem. I would like to set the default calendar to be my Exchange calendar, so I don't have to remember to switch it every time I create an appointment.
did anyone ever come back with an answer on this? I would love to have a way to set google as my default calendar for syncing purposes...
I need this too, I just simply need the real android calander app back becuase I use the widgit from it to keep me alert of what I have to do when.
This stupid thing has this weird clock calender widget that takes a whole page and tells you nothing
I've looked everywhere I can, but I just can't find where to set a default calendar for new appointments. I can't believe they left such a simple and needed setting out.
I agree, this is very annoying. Hope this gets fixed either by a new ROM or an update.

Download another calendar application such as android agenda widget. They give you options to save.

Thank god I'm not going crazy by myself with this - been looking for three days for a way to do this, thinking "it's an Android phone - surely you can set it to use your Google calendar as default!" But apparently I've been once again bitten by Samsung's crew of retarded engineers...
Yeah, this drives me up the wall, too. It's a shame, because I really love this calendar app.
Hopefully, they fix it. And if they never do, I'll just be sad.
I'm in the same boat here too going crazy over this.
Fyi, I gave instructions on how to do this in the sticky last night. I did it and it's FANTASTIC!
Download cyanogen 5.0.7 stable. I'll try and upload the files tonight if people need help.
I tried using the stock 2.1 app and it has that weird box on the top so I tried to push the touchwiz cal back but I have permission issues. Good thing I did a nandroid backup before I messed with it. I have resigned to just hitting new instead of long pressing in the calendar to add events and changing the default reminder to 15 min. Those 2 things are standard options that should be in any calendar made for android.
Please can someone tell me how to remove Facebook birthdays from the calendar? It's added hundreds and now my calendar is dead, wont work at all.
Thanks
Matt
Done this today to try and find out why Calendar is eating so much power... Open the calendar, Menu, More, Calendars and then uncheck the Facebook one.
Still uses a very high% of battery...
I'm new to Android so I have a few noob questions, my HD is on pre order and I need to clear this up first before I get the phone. When you sync it for the first time with Facebook does it let you choose what you want to sync or does it automarically sync your Facebook friends into your contacts and calendar etc. ? Basically I just want the Facebook app on my phone but I don't want it to integrate into my contacts, calendar etc.
clear your calender cache and files in. options --> applications --> all installed applications --> calender.
Holy crap, now my calendar is using 60% of my battery!!! What a pile of junk! That's AFTER removing all the facebook stuff.
No way should I have to wipe all my calendar entries cos of this crap. I had to clear my news app cos that broke last week.
This phone is getting worse and worse, simple things that should work without trouble are constantly being a pain in the arse.
Calm down man. Check your sync settings with Gmail/HTCSense. If they are too frequent (or push) lower the frequency. If they are normal try reading a little bit on the subject. It's called a smartphone because sometimes it thinks on itself and that means doing things u don't want/like. U just need to be smarter than it
Some people complained of the hungry Calendar as well and for many the issue was that they had more than one widget using calendar on the homescreens. If u got let's say Agendas, Calendar and Friendstream as widgets try removing one or two
success
Thanks. For my homescreens I have...
News / Calendar / Blank (shortcuts) / Clock and shortcuts / Email / Friendstream / Bookmarks.
All my syncing is like 2-4 hours.
The calendar running at 60% explains why I've been getting occasional days with bad battery usage (which is normally ok for a few days after restarting the phone).
I've now wiped the calendar, uninstalled the Facebook one (or rather just didn't reinstall it). Restarted the phone and I'm gonna see what happens today now.
Hello.
I've noticed recently that the Calendar application is using a lot of battery on my DHD, if I've not used my phone much since unplugging it, the Calendar claims to have used up to 50% of the battery. On normal usage it uses a similar amount as the display. I am running Leedroid 1.2 (did the same thing in 1.0) and have tried clearing the cache, unchecking the weather feature and removing the facebook calendar (I now have 1 gmail account calendar, 1 subscribed calendar and public holidays listed). I have done several restarts and it is always the same.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to resolve this? My next step would be to do a full wipe and reflash of the ROM but I would rather not get that far...
Thanks.
I have the same issue, had it on the normal OTA and now on leedroid too. I use multiple Google calendars and have Facebook and twitter sync running. It does seem to spend a lot of time synching.
Just looked at accounts and syncing and it does seem to be Google calendar that is constantly syncing.

In many different forums the same issue appears all the time. Many people resolved it by limiting their homescreen widgets that make use of calendar in some way. Sometimes even more than one make the calendar go berserk and chopchop ur power like a hungry chinese - a bowl of rice

I don't have a calendar widget. I do have the Facebook and twitter on my home screens (was about the time I started using these that I noticed it actually.)
Well it is still present after removing the Facebook and Twitter widgets (and after a restart for good measure). Maybe it is Launcher Pro?
My calendar has started being a real pain in the backside today. I was reading a few topics on the calendar and after checking my battery usage daily I thought my calendar had started using a lot more battery than it used to (used to be around 5-8% on a full charge, recently its been 15-20%).
So I wasn't able to find any fix in the other threads and someone suggested clearing the data from the app manager which I did. The problem now is that my calendar is messed up. I only use it for birthdays linked via facebook and holidays. It is showing the holidays fine but it is no longer showing birthdays. It shows some (3 to be exact) however there used to be waaaaay more as it showed all my facebook contacts birthdays. The 3 people that it is showing seem to just be random and it says they've been linked from facebook.
The good news is that my calendar battery usage is back down to below 5%, but maybe that's because it isnt even working as it should.
Anyone have any suggestions. I really don't want to do a factory reset. It took me about 3-4 hours to sort out my contacts and link them all correctly so doing that again would drive me mad (unless there is some way I can do a backup which includes the contact links?)
Sorry, I can't help you but HTC clearly has issues with Google Calendar. My calendar eats battery and often sits at the "Loading" screen. I see lots of issues on the forum, and few solutions. Time HTC fixed it.
Hi,
Yeah its a known issue. I have the same problem. I e-mailed HTC about is last week and they replied saying that they know about it and should be fixed in an update soon.

Hello!
I tried the clear-data for the calendar and the battery consumption has dropped to normal levels again.
Thing is my Facebook birthdays are not showing up anymore (at least most of them...).
Also, I would like to ask another thing.
Is there a way for the calendar to display birthdays for people that you don't have as friends in facebook but you have their birthdays stored in your phone contact list??
And one final question. If you go to Google calendar online (from a PC) there is an option to have your favorite teams' schedules on your calendar. Is there a way for these schedules to appear on your phone calendar as well?
Thanks!

I have the exact same facebook birthday issue because I did the exact same clear data thing. Battery consumption from the calendar has disappeared thankfully but now the facebook birthdays don't appear.
I eventually gave up and left it. Day by day the facebook birthdays have been appearing strangely. Initially only 2 friends birthdays were appearing after clearing the calendar data, then the next day there were about 4, then the next day a few more and its gradually populating the calendar. There are still some missing but I'm hoping they will appear soon as everyday there seems to be some more added.
It is very strange but give it a few days and see if it starts populating.
Same here. Cleared the calendar data and it has resulted in similar effects (improved battery, weird calendar). I'm surprised that such basic functionality (HTC syncing with Google calendar using a Google OS) has caused such problems.
Oh, any syncing my favourite team (the one and only Glasgow Celtic) would be nice. Any ideas? I have Celtic's fixtures in Google Calendar on a PC but they don't appear in my syncs.
Anyone have problems with mail syncing?
It seems to have stopped working and only syncs when I go in the app.
surely I am not the only person with this problem...
yes i have same thing...i disabled calender and book sync and toggled auto sync...then presto mine was fixed...still not sure why.

I don't have book and changing calendar has not made a difference. Also noticed that it happens on TI backup now. Not sure if it is related
I've even done factory a reset and nothing has changed. No idea why!
must be a way to get this going again...can't clear data in the app section which is odd
I have this with my school e-mail since they installed exchange server 2010. To fix it (temporarily), you have to clear all the categories on all the events in your calendar (via outlook, thunderbird or web-based) and then re-apply them.
Note: it is temporary because every so many weeks, the issue reappears.
Yep. Same here. Noticed it a few weeks ago and thought it was just me. Had a major clearout on the phone (new SD card, hard reset, etc. etc.) and it's still a problem.
So it's standard HTC ROM (2.3.3) and I'm syncing with MS Exchange. As the OP says, there is no sync unless I open the app, irrespective of changes made to the scheduling. For what it's worth it's currently set to sync every 10 mins Mon-Fri 9.00 until 18.00 and then every hour off-peak.
