So I just flashed MM stock ROM to my unlocked (and rooted) N910C (my device's region is United Arab Emirates and so that's the respective ROM that I downloaded and flashed.) Because of the region, however, S Planner has Islamic holidays (and dates) built-in. Since I'm not a Muslim, I'd rather not have this feature (I quadruple checked and there is no option to disable it.) I even uninstalled S Planner and installed an S7 port of S Planner, but it still had the built-in Islamic holidays/dates.
Because of this, I assume it's a system feature and not an S Planner feature. Does anyone know where to find it in the system? I'm not a developer, so presently this seems more like a needle-in-a-haystack kind of thing that I'm not about to attempt on my own. Otherwise my next option would be to flash an N910C-based MM stock ROM, just from a different region. I've never flashed using a different region before. There are no foreseeable issues, right?
Thanks.
the holidays are probably attached to your gmail account, and can be hidden through the calendars screen(3 dot menu>calendars>holidays in ...) in S planner.
you may also be able to remove the holiday calendar through the Google calendar website.
Its not my Google account, that's for sure (I wish it were that easy.) Going to the Google calendar website shows no Islamic holidays/dates (with my Google account in S Planner, it's "Holidays in the United States" I can check or uncheck.) And unchecking everything from every account calendar in S Planner does nothing. That's what leads me to believe it's part of the system.
Ok, so I'll probably go ahead and flash a different region (as my Googling has only led me to unresolved instances of this same issue.)
Before I reflash, though, do I need to be concerned with CSC/PDA/baseband numbers? Or am I good just so long as it's an N910C firmware? Thanks.
UPDATE (for anyone with this same issue looking for a "fix"): I just finished flashing the Russian region ROM. Islamic holidays/dates are gone.

Frequently my calendar will sync for hours on end and eat through the battery life,forcing me to turn it off altogether so I don't run out altogether. The data does actually sync fine,ie both calendars are up to date all the time, so far as I can tell. Any ideas? I have searched this forum and google to no avail. I happen to use Cyanogen's rather brilliant (experimental series) ROM, but don't feel this is related as no other Cyanogen users have reported similar issues. Can't remember if I had these problems on stock ROM. Help?
Cheers
Are we talking about the google calendar?
If it is google calendar check on your PC that you don't have background image or attach google docs enabled in your calendar. These features may not be compatible.
Cheers for the reply, interesting idea. It seems to have gone away (for now) after I exported everything to ical files, deleted everything and re-imported (via a PC). Fingers crossed..
Hi All,
When entering a new event in the agenda it's automatically affected to "my calendar" (which is not sync with google agenda ) and for each appointment I need to think about switching to my google agenda account to enable sync.
I've couldn't find any way to set my google agenda account as my default agenda, nor deleting "my calendar".
This is very annoying, so if someone can help I'll appreciate.
I use to have the HTC Hero and I didn't have this problem.
Thanks
This is fixed in the leaked 2.2 ROMs, so until you update the firmware you have to live with it unfortunately.
Thanks. How do I update the firmware ?
Check out the Development section of these forums.
However: The 2.2 update is far from finished, and I wouldn't recommend using it unless you really want to try the latest firmwares. It's beta firmware at best.
Better to wait for the official update from Samsung unless you enjoy beta testing and working around bugs.
Ok thanks anyway
Try Jorte from Market. It can let you set default calendar. It's also more powerful than the stock one.
Jorte seems to work, thanks a lot
Maybe someone can post the 2.2 calendar apk?
yes, Jorte is great! it also shows small text in the month view of your calendars inputs, very nice! Think I won't go back to stock calendar even if they fix the "my calendar" issue.
With Jorte solving the google agenda sync problem and acontact solving the contact group sync problem, all my trouble seems so far away ....
Just moved from the ipads to the GT7.7 (GT-P6800, Android 3.2, Hong Kong) and the only problem I have is the standard calendar app does not work with google maps.
Issue: Clicking on the location in the event view of the calendar app does not load up google maps. From my research this does work on other android devices.
Is this just my GT7.7 or any one else have this issue?
Is there a way to install an different version?
Currently my workaround is to use "Business calendar" app, which does link.
As I am new I can not post a link to the code . google . com. But the title is
Issue 19527: Calendar App: Ability to click on location in Event view
Have you tried updating your tab to the latest version using Kies or OTA update?
I'm using the P6800XXLA3 ATO ROM now (tab originally Hong Kong model) and this works fine for me using the standard calendar app.
morkli: can you post a screencap or something. Where do you click to access Maps when viewing an event using the Calendar App?
(As far as I can tell, this is not a feature in the Samsung provided Calendar App that comes with the 7.7. It's a feature in the stock Google Calendar App, and of course, in Business Calendar.)
Hi, guys
I've updated my 910F to 5.1.1, and coincidentally - although probably not - I started having problems with Exchage/ActiveSync accounts in Gmail.
I always sideload the Exchange Services APK and configure my work e-mail as an extra account in the Gmail app. However, ever since upgrading to 5.1.1, my work account routinely and randomly vanishes: all e-mails disappear from the app, calendar won't show, and going into the "Accounts" setting does not show the usual entry. It is completely erased, and I have to reenter all of the account info to get it up and running again. However, it's always been just a matter of time (sometimes hours, sometimes day) until the problem strikes again.
Now I know there are a great many variables that could be at play here, but my questions are:
a) Has anyone been through the same situation?
b) How do I go about trying to figure out what is deleting the account from my device? Developers, how can I objectively debug/troubleshoot this?
Thank you for your help!

Ok so you stated that you got the 910f version and running 5.1.1 but is it stock rom or custom?
Since galaxy s2 I have never used stock roms as they are always buggy in one way or another. My advise is to use custom rom. If you don't want to use custom roms then you should get another stock rom. If you are running example COH4 then try ether a previous build or next build or even try and re flash the current rom.
I am on stock 5.0.1. 910f and I am having troubles with the gmail app syncing
With my hotmail account.All emails vanish (inbox-sent etc).
I have deleted and reconfigured my hotmail account through the gmail
App and also deleted it's data but the problem persisted.
I just can't get it to sync with other accounts other than gmail.
I think it is aproblem of the gmail app itself.
I have since switched to the stock samsung email client and everything
works fine!
@Zionator
It's my experience that custom ROMs allways end up having some quirks of their own; also, I'm on COI3 which is rock solid so far, in every other department.
@snatch_bill
On stock 5.0.2, I never had any problems. Also, while it works fine, the Samsung e-mail app is absolutely horrible, especially when compared with the Gmail client.
So please: does anyone have the least bit of an idea as to how to debug the problem? I'm not even really concerned with solving the problem right now, just understanding it.
Cheers,
Got the same problem. The exchanges account disappears after some days completely. It disappears in gmail and also in the account settings. I'm also using android 5.1.1 on my Note 4.
After reconfiguration the account works again for a few days until it disappear again.
Same problem here with the s6:

Seems to be a problem with the samsung rom. Guess we need to wait until samsung fix it.
Marshmallow (Android 6.0.1) was released recently for the Galaxy S5 in Australia.
All appeared well after the upgraded until I noticed that new calendar entries were were not being synchronised between the S5 and my Google account. I checked my Google account in the phone and found sync had failed for Contacts, Calendar and Tasks.
After a trying a number of different things with no success, I finally decided to do a factory wipe and reset. Everything looked OK until I installed Business Calendar 2. After a little time, I started to get sync errors again.
The only way to recover from this mess was to uninstall Business Calendar 2, remove my Google Account, delete both the Calendar and Contacts storage data and then reboot the phone. Once the phone finishes rebooting, sign in to my Google account. The phone starts to download calendar events and contacts. If you install Business Calendar 2 again, the sync function is again crippled and you have to go through the reset process again.
I have contacted the Business Calendar 2 developers but they haven;t been able to help. I also installed Google Calendar but found synchronisation unreliable. Sometimes calendar events would not synchronise. However, there were no error reported!
At this point, I have had to resort to using Samsung's S-Planner app which is very ordinary. Better than nothing I suppose.
I have done quite a bit of research and there are many Samsung S5, S6, S7 and Tab S2 user complaining about similar issues after a Marshmallow upgrade. Some have suggested disabling Power Saving but was not a solution for me.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Regards
John
