Coming from my Galaxy Nexus, I had a calendar in my Google Account, where all the birthdays of friends are stored. You simply add them in Contacts and they get synced with a different color as its a different calendar.
Now with the G2 I have the problem, that all old contacts are synced in that birthday calendar. They show up in the calendar widget. But new ones go automatically into the main calendar of my Google account, thus creating a mess.
Under Calendar Settings, all calendars are ticked and should sync accordingly.
But under Contacts, when creating a new birthday for a contact, I found that the main calendar is chosen by default. If I click on the setting to which calendar to add the birthday, it only shows the main calendar and Create new. No option to choose the birthday calendar, which should be there and which is synced as well. Does anyone has a similar problem?

I noticed there is a default google calender usually and recently I noticed there is a new one called ' my calender'. Why are there 2 google calender on my device?
I logged to gmail.com but it only show I have one default calender. Is it because of the new firmware?
I am using JM2

The "my calendar" is a local calendar that isn't synced with Google calendar.
As to why there is such a calendar, it's for example very convenient if you want a business calendar, that is also updated by your assistent, and a local private calendar that you don't want to share.

Thanks.. but I am seeing my friends/contacts birthday on 2 calendar now :\
I wonder how 'my calender' got my contacts birthday while I always sync to my google calender.
Any reason why? thanks again...
OP, where do you see the My Calendar? I'm on JM2 also but don't seem to see a second calendar.
Anyone know if there is a way to prevent syncing the calendar to the cloud?
if you go in the normal calendar app and in the settings where you can choose your calendar to be displayed you will see google calendar and my calendar
That's what I have
And on my phone , my calendar has 3 times each birthday which makes 4 times with google and 5 times with my corporate calendar
I can tel you that I won't miss any calendar now
As for my calendar, I have synced with Kies so I guess it's the reason for 1 occurence. Then I can see that there is one coming from Facebook ( even there is a also a dedicated facebook calendar which could give me a 6th birthday )
It's a little bit a mess
EDIT : ok so I looked at my contact anmd I can see that there is 3 linked account : corporate account, facebook account and the "my phone" account
So my calendar is goignt to take the birthday from your contact. If you have your contact coming from google and you disaply my calendar and google calendar you will see twice the birthday.
That's kind of stupid
It is messy all right. Thanks for your reply.
Looks like calendar sync with facebook is having a bug.. I can't find the solution anywhere Here is what i did:
1. I tried to add my facebook account to be synced.
2. After it's finish syncing, I saw that all of my friend's birthday are added to "My Calendar" instead of "Facebook" calendar. I have already tried to uncheck all of my calendar except "My Calendar", but all of my friend's birthdays are still there!
3. I removed my facebook account from my account management, all of the facebook contacts are gone, but the birthday events remained in "My Calendar"
4. Added my facebook account to be synced again
5. "My Calendar" now contains duplicate birthdays event
Have anyone met this problem before?? It's a madness to delete 400 event * 2 = 800 (duplicated) manually.... Any solution is appreciated..
I have exactly the same problem. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?
Funny that I can't find anyone complains about this problem..
Turns out this is a feature for Galaxy S' TouchWiz "Contacts" feature. The feature is to automatically add your contact's birthday to the calendar. Tried it out on my friend's HTC Legend, add birthday to the "People" app, nothing is added to the calendar. Since the facebook contacts are coming with birthday info, those birthdays will be added to your calendar as well...
Can't seem to find a workaround yet.. What I did is to clear the Calendar Storage data, which means all of your events saved to your calendar will be erased as well. Another workaround is to always add your own event to your GMail calendar, and hide your "My Calendar"..
Hope they will fix the on froyo..

The work around is to not use the Touchwiz crap and use the facebook app from the market, which has a PROPER contact and calender sync. It gets confusing though because after you install it you now have two facebook providers, one from Samsung and one from Facebook, in your sync setup, and you have to pick the right one.
I really hate the Social Hub BS... I wish it could be uninstalled, all it does is duplicate a bunch of stuff already available in Android, except poorly.
I only use it for phone numbers with facebook and gmail account and I check "Only show contacts with phone number" and for duplicated I went to gmail contact and applied "Find & Merge duplicates".
Maybe you could try:
Turn off facebook calendar sync, sync your calendar with google calendar, go to google calendar on computer and delete it

the birthday is added to "My Calendar", not your "google" account's calendar.. so syncing it won't enable you to delete it from computer..

-_- You can sync birthday with "my calendar" and you can sync "my calendar" to google so birth goes to google calendar !! Facebook > My calendar > Google Calendar then if you delete under Google Calendar the phone will sync.
The sync with android is in the contacts app under "Activities" press add account (only worked for me on JPC)

lol sorry nobbie here how do you sync "my calendar" to google?? do you mean i have to edit the event 1 by 1?
Open my calendar> press menu button> More > Settings > Calendar Sync> Under manage account turn off facebook calendar sync (for the time of deleting everything)
tap on you gmail account check sync calendar > wait for sync then go to google calendar this page https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/render (settings in top right then calendar settings > calendar tab) and delete your default calendar it will not delete it but the events in it
Wait for phone to sync or try Menu > More > refresh
Then you can turn facebook sync back on
Done ^^
Hey all,
I am having trouble using the touchwiz calendar. I have four calendars to sync and only two of them are successfully syncing. I have toyed around with the settings to no avail. Has anyone had similar difficulties?
When I was using the tw calendar, I noticed it had a "my calendar" option. If you enter items on this calendar, it does not sync to Google. It stays only on your phone.
When u enter an appointment in tw calendar, I believe it defaults to "my calendar". You have to change the calendar manually to one of your Google syncing calendars.

Thank you, that is useful advice, but that was not the problem I was having. I actually found a solution.
I exported the calendar as iCal, deleted it from my google calendar settings, added a new calendar, and imported the events back onto it. Then I re-synced my account and the calendars appropriately synced.
Glad your squared up!

Hi
I was using my HTC Calendar but wanted to transfer my Calendar to Google Calendar so that it syncs. I did this successfully and all my appointments show up online on Google Calendar. However, although I can see my appoints for the last two months, prior to that, I can only see calendar entries from added calendars such as UK HOlidays and Contacts Birthdays. My entries from my Calendar are not showiing up on my HTC Hero Calendar, although they are in the Google Calendar online.
Please can someone tell me how I can sync the whole of my Google Calendar to my Calendar on my phone. I want to be able to view the whole Calendar and not just the previous two months.
Thanks.
[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)?
