Hi,
I am using a Galaxy S4 since my normal Sony Xperia Z3 compact is under repair.
On the Z3C, I use Google calendar to save appointments, birthdays, etc.
I couldn't see the appointments created on Google Calendar by the Z3C on the Galaxy S4, so I created a new set of appointments.
Now, if I go to my desktop and log into Google Calendar, I see that the appointments are doubled. One device has saved an "event" and the other has created an "appointment".
Google, and the Z3C interpret both as different instances. I can only see the instance created by the S4 on the S4.
Is there any way we can change the S4 the default how the instance is saved?

I have just bought this phone and used google sync to sync my google calendar with my phone calendar.
Im using the sony erricson panel 1 because i want a panel which displays the numbers of messages in each of my email inboxes seperately and also displays events in my calendar.
what i would like to do is change the number of events it displays or rather, make it display all calendar items in the next month.(it currently just displays todays and tommorows)
How can i get it to do this/ has anyone hacked it/ can tell me how to? or is there an alternative panel that will do this along with displaying my emails seperately?
Well, basically you can set a SE Panel 2 as you like, so in fact you'll have two different panels, set differently.
I have it this way.
But I'm afraid you won't have separate counters for each email account.
This is possible on WM default homescreen though.
you also dont need to post the same question in 3 different areas of the site

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.
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...
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?
