So, I'm not a fan of LG's calendar, I like Googles. I installed Google Calendar, disabled notifications from LG's calendar and went on my merry way. After a few days I'll get a notification from LG's Calendar. Magically the notifications are turned back on and notifications for Google Calendar are disabled. This has happened twice now. Anyone else notice this?
I haven't rooted yet, is my only option here to root and freeze the LG Calendar?

Does the App Info page for the calendar not have the "Disable" button?

LG G2 calendar
I've been having that issue where notifications just turn on by themselves for every item. It's really irritating! There is an option to stop all notifications but i don't want to do that. So has anyone found a solution yet?

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.

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.

Is there any way to use the stock calender with this phone. Samsung changed the calender to make it look better but crippled it's functionality. Having no alert option and having no way to change which calender is default is annoying. I've used a couple of roms that simply removed the samsung calender, but the calender replacements like jorte don't sync with google cal. Am I simply missing something?

Try smooth calender, free in the market.
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
Does this allow you to change the alert function on the calender from discreet to alert? I'm assuming it syncs with Google calender because it's a widget.

While true, it's worth noting that it doesn't work.
How doesn't it work? It doesn't sync with google or do an alert? I have a job where I'm constantly running around and need to be reminded of things. With the subtle alert, you have to remember to look for the alert, which defeats the purpose. I really appreciate all the input I've received so far? Any other solutions?
I am on bubby's rom and the calendar works great...I don't know what people mean by it not working. I agree with OP, as it irritates me having to change those settings for every event. I do use Calendar Pad from market for my widget and all is good here.

The developer of the ROM states as a known bug: "Stock Google calendar force closes"
So this may be an issue with some but not all. Personally, I got constant FCs with the stock calendar supplied with that ROM.
Check out this page for the vibrant. It works the same for the fascinate and its incredibly easy to accomplish.

Thanks for all the input. I know that there are several widgets that will syc wigh gcal, but I would like one that also does the full screen pop up alerts when you have a calender event. The stock calender does that, but I don't think any other calender does.

Yes. You can find it in the market. It's a paid app but you can download a trial from the developers site. Just do a google.

I'll give it a look. Thanks.
I tried tasker, but I'm realizing that I just hate the samsung calender. They took out took much functionality. It defaults to a calender that doesn't sync with google, you can't auto launch maps or other apps from it. It's just too crippled and I use it a lot for business. I tried bubbles rom, but when I restore data I have no calender at all. Strange.
I think launcher pro has the best widget calender.

I tried bubbly's rom and it doesn't work. I also tried to install the calender myself, but I didn't have better luck than bubbly. It seems that there is something that just keeps it from working. I will look deeper into tasker and see if I can figure something out. I'm curious to find out if anyone has successfully managed to replace the stock calender with aosp and been able to successfully change it to alerts from taskbar notifications. When the time for the alert to happen goes off, the calender force closes.
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.
Hi im new to xda and I had a problem with notifications . I seem to get no notifications at all, i have looked around the internet and I found out it had something to do with my google account. They suggested i remove the account then sign in again. I did this, I got my notifications but, I only get it when the account is removed. As soon as i sign back in i get no notifications besides sms. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it. I need my google account for the play store contacts etc. but, I want my notifications.(rooted on stock)
Sounds as if you have a 3rd party app that is controlling your notifications, my problem with this is how can you possibly get notifications with no google acct active? Now that is strange.

Hello. Please, when i double click in gmail notification in aod, i read email but if i reopen app, the email is yet unreaded. When i delete a email from gmail app, random sync with gmail web page... Is this a known bug??? I repaet, random, not always and i din't understand why... Can anyome help me? Thanks
Nobody uses Gmail???
This is not a problem with the S8 but with Android Nougat. Its also not only Gmail related its all notifications on nougat are broken The best way to get SOME notifications back is to go to settings/apps/hamburger menu/special access/optimize battery usage/ and uncheck EVERYTHING. Next step is to (with root) use the app "Root- Push Notification Fixer" and set intervals to lowest possible settings. You will still not get all of them but at least you will get some of them..
Another fix is to install nova launcher and teslaunread to show bubbles on your icons when you have new notifications for that app. I have mine setup for about 7 apps and I ALWAYS get the bubble hours or days before a notification ever comes in (if they ever do).
In order to fix the issue specifically with gmail I use a different email app. I use aquamail, but there are a few good ones out there. I don't have notification or synching issues. I don't use the email on the phone a lot, a few times a day. I found a great improvement over using gmail.
