Under Manager Calendars I have Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks. What are these and how do I get rid of them? Looks like they point to my Samsung Account but I don't see any Calendar or Tasks on the website that would link to these.

Hi,
I have two main issues with the Samsung Galaxy S.
1.
I am missing the option to choose, which Google Contacts I want to sync with my telephone. By default the device syncs ALL my Google contacts. Even the ones I've sent an Email once in the past. I would expect to choose the group of contacts to sync with. So I could select the "My Contacts" group and would only sync the ones I had conversation with and I manually moved to that group.
Is there any way to make this work? Do other Android handsets have this option? Could I somehow install this on the Samsung as well?
2.
I have two different calendars on my Google Account. One for my daily appointments and one for birthdays. But the Calendar App on the device does only sync the standard calendar. I'm not able to choose which ones I want to sync. But when I look on the google apps android information page (I'm new, so I'm not allowed to post a link), then there is a screenshot from calender view on an Android phone where definitely two different calendars are synced. So it seems again a drawback "implemented" by Samsung.
Anyone having the same problems? Any hints what to do? Maybe a workaround with other calendar apps?
I must regret that the Palm Pre was very good in syncing and customizing what to sync. I did not expect such a lack of options on Google OS driven phone. So this special task was a step back for me.
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.
My dad just got the note recently and he just found out that the S Planner app (The only calender app) does not have the option to sync shared calenders. All he can see is his own personal google account calender. The problem is my family uses the shared calender a lot and this is kinda frustrating. My SGS2 has no problem syncing with shared calender because there is an option to sync it, but not on the note. Any ideas?
Hi,
sorry to bring this up again, but I am trying to figure out how calendars on this device work, as I seem to have a lot more calendars than I have on my galaxy nexus phone.
--
Ok, let's start from the source: GOOGLE CALENDAR.
I have 5 calendars on google.com/calendars:
- 3 Personal Calendars: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos
- 1 Tasks Calendar (this being the usual Google Tasks)
- 1 Other Calendar: Contacts' Birthdays and Events (this being the usual Google Birthdays)
--
Now on my Galaxy nexus phone, where I have the official Google Calendar app installed.
Here I can sync 4 calendars:
- 3 personal calendars: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos
- 1 Other calendar: Contacts' Birthdays and Events
Of course there is no Tasks Calendar, as this cannot be synced with Google Calendar App (stupid I know) but for this I am using GTasks.
The same applies for calendars to display: all the calendars I can sync I can also display.
Good, all is fine.
--
Now on my Note 10.1 where I use s-planner for calendars and GTasks for Google Tasks.
Here things start getting complicated...
-
First of all, if I go under "Settings" then "Sync Settings" and then "Sync Events/Actvities" I get a pop up labeled "Add account" where I see a green light next to: Samsung Account, Facebook, Google (screen shot attached "add account").
What the hell is this? I understand this is where I can choose which accounts I can sync with s-note, right? So then why can I only select new one and I cannot deselct let's say Facebook? And why is Facebook there? It is not there on my phone, why is here on the tablet?
-
Second, still under "Settings" I see two voices: one labeled with my Gmail address ([email protected]) and one labeled with my name (Giovanni Stoto).
If I click on each one, I see some calendars I can sync, in the specific (see attached screen shots "sync gmail calendars" and "sync gs calendars"):
-a- [email protected]: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos, Contacts' Birthdays and Events, Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities
-b- Giovanni Stoto: Facebook
Now I guess Facebook is there because it is also there at point one above. fine, I can live with this, i simply don't sync it.
What about the two extra Samsung calendars (Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities)? Are these created when I create a Samsung account? Is the only way to get rid of these two samsung calendars to remove the samsung account? And if I remove the samsung account, do I lose anything? Please note that the samsung calendars are showing my gmail address, but that's because I have used this address to register with samsung. I give for granted that if I select to sync these calendars, then they will be synced with samsung website, not with gmail, so sort of useless.
-
Third, let's go under "Settings" then "Visualization Settings" and then "Calendars".
here I get a list of calendars that I can display. Well, yes but... I get a lot more than I can sync!!!!!! (see attached screen shot "view calendars")
Besides having my google calendars (Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos, Contacts' Birthdays and Events), my samsung calendars (Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities) and my facebbok calendar (Facebook), I also have "Personal Calendar" and "Personal Activities" and "Contac's Birthdays".
So where do the 3 new personal calendars are coming from? I presume they are local calendars built-in in s-planner. And why I cannot deselect "Personal Birthdays"?
--
Fourth, let's add a new event in s-planner. (see attached screen shot "add event calendars")
When i choose in which calendar to add the event, guess what?! I get a list of ONLY 5 calendars: the 3 Personal google calendars (Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos), the Samsung Calendar and the Personal Calendar.
Ok this makes sense but... If I am chosing not to sync and not to show Samsung calendars and Personal; calendars, why are they showing here? Any way not to have them in the list?
--
Fifth and last, let's add an activity in s-planner. (see attached screen shot "add activity calendars")
When selecting the calendar here I expect at this point to have 2 calendars: Samsung Tasks_Activities and Personal Activities.
Indeed I do, even if the Samsung Tasks_Activities is labeled with my gmail address (maybe a bug).
I also understand (and prove me wrong if) that Samsung Tasks_Activities are synced with samsung account only and cannot be synced with Google Tasks.
----------
I believe there is no way to ge rid of calendars from Samsung, Personal (local) and Facebook.
I managed to choose only the google calendars for sync and display, but I would also like to get rid of samsung calendar and personal (local) calendar from the list of calendars when adding a new event, but I understand thgis is either a bug or is not possible.
Well anyone that can clarify or help or just put his own 2 cent, is welcome.
wow 90+ visits and no1 has anything 2 say...
Hello
For samsung note 3, as well as note 10.1 2014, is there a task manager or organizer which will sync with google calendar? I mean, I add a task, and it syncs to google calendar as an event?
Thanks
