Hey guys,
I've had a look on my friends S5 at the calender, and it's different to mine. Mine does not list any special days by default like Queen's Birthday, Public Holidays etc.... It's just all blank. How did my friend get the calender to list all the special days for the country we're in (Australia).
We both got stock S5's not mod done to it.
Go to setting on the calender and see what calenders he has synced.
I get public holidays because my Google account includes the Australian public holidays calendar. Once you see them in your Google calendar they will sync to your phone.

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?

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.
is there an app that will fill the deafault calendar with all the up n coming bank holidays etc for 2011
I found that the best way to do this was to subscribe to a google calendar online, this can then update the calendar on your phone
I found a calendar on icalshare.com (I think... it was a while ago) that covers all major holidays and imported that into my google calendar. This now syncs with my Desires calendar along with my personal calendar. I've just coloured it differently so that I can tell at a glance whether it's my personal event or a national one.
Edit: Damn, I was beaten to it because I'm not allowed to post links!
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.
I have looked around and can't find a forum discussion on this. Sorry if I missed it.
I love Google Now. I am using the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4. I have activated all the cards in the available cards section including the birthday card. I noticed that my Google Now shows me a new card when I have an appointment in my calendar approaching (so thus it DOES see my calendar and syncs appointments). However, for the life of my it won't see birthdays and anniversaries of my contacts that also display in my calendar as items.
I am really frustrated with this and have tried many different things. I thought it was just a calendar thing. Google Now syncs with calendar but maybe not "extra" calendars like the "birthday and anniversary" one that I have (added through gmail). But then again my Google Now also syncs with my contacts where birthdays are located. After all, contacts is where the calendar pulls the data from in the first place. So can someone please help me understand how to get the birthday card on Google Now to show me this info when it is relevant?
Thanks much in advance.
I believe Google now gets birthday information from Google + (not from calendar)
It's silly that it syncs with my contacts and calendar but wouldn't implement this. Only like 5% of my contacts are on Google+. After all shouldn't Google now learn more and more about me the more info I give it? Well... I gave it my contacts info lol.

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?
