When I add an appointment to my calendar it adds it to My Calendar as default. Does anyone know how to default it to a google calendar like, other Android phones?

I am also having this problem. I would like to set the default calendar to be my Exchange calendar, so I don't have to remember to switch it every time I create an appointment.
did anyone ever come back with an answer on this? I would love to have a way to set google as my default calendar for syncing purposes...
I need this too, I just simply need the real android calander app back becuase I use the widgit from it to keep me alert of what I have to do when.
This stupid thing has this weird clock calender widget that takes a whole page and tells you nothing
I've looked everywhere I can, but I just can't find where to set a default calendar for new appointments. I can't believe they left such a simple and needed setting out.
I agree, this is very annoying. Hope this gets fixed either by a new ROM or an update.

Download another calendar application such as android agenda widget. They give you options to save.

Thank god I'm not going crazy by myself with this - been looking for three days for a way to do this, thinking "it's an Android phone - surely you can set it to use your Google calendar as default!" But apparently I've been once again bitten by Samsung's crew of retarded engineers...
Yeah, this drives me up the wall, too. It's a shame, because I really love this calendar app.
Hopefully, they fix it. And if they never do, I'll just be sad.
I'm in the same boat here too going crazy over this.
Fyi, I gave instructions on how to do this in the sticky last night. I did it and it's FANTASTIC!
Download cyanogen 5.0.7 stable. I'll try and upload the files tonight if people need help.
I tried using the stock 2.1 app and it has that weird box on the top so I tried to push the touchwiz cal back but I have permission issues. Good thing I did a nandroid backup before I messed with it. I have resigned to just hitting new instead of long pressing in the calendar to add events and changing the default reminder to 15 min. Those 2 things are standard options that should be in any calendar made for android.
Forgive me if this topic has been raised before -- I searched and didn't see anything.
I am seeing two issues with my Epic relating to e-mail I haven't seen raised.
1. Generic e-mail client doesn't sync reliably. It ran reliably for a day or two, but has stopped polling, and now the only way I can get the accounts in it to update is to go into the client and open them.
2. I cannot seem to get more than 2 gmail accounts added to the gmail client. I have three google accounts, and I had to set up my third one in the generic client after repeated attempts to add it to the gmail client resulted in server connection fails.
Anyone else seeing this? Is it possible I have a defective phone or something I did during the course of rooting (noobnl's one-click v 2.2.9) broke some functionality? Is it possible that the service responsible for the client's polling activity got broken?
Thanks in advance.
My email has been updating automatically fine. I've only had my Epic for a little over two weeks, though. I don't have multiple Gmail accounts so can't say. Also, I'm not rooted yet ( I've been waiting for the 2.2 upgrade). I'm not crazy about everything in the generic client but it does seem to work very well.
I thought I was having the same issue as OP, but I found that I guess I accidentally switched automatic updates off in the settings.
I have had my Epic since it launched and yes this has been an issue for me. I thought maybe I had something set wrong but I don't. I actually check my Yahoo acct through the browser now. It doesn't really bother me to much though so I deal with it. Facebook for Android is the same way usually too.

This is a common issue if you search around.
I've given up on the stock email app and just use K9 mail. Works perfectly. Has a few more options than the stock app too, although like a lot of open-source apps, maybe too many. I still haven't gotten all the fonts to look the way I want. But it's functional and doesn't give me any problems with syncing. An email app that won't tell me when I have new email is useless to me, and the stock app would only do that for maybe a day unless I rebooted. K9 always notifies me of email immediately.
I'm having a problem of my own. I just tried to send an attachment in the stock email app but I get a FC when I hit attach. In the gmail app however it works, gives me the option of gallery or astro. Could the FC in the email app occuring because I uninstalled the myfiles app and it defaults to it?

Exactly the same problem. Stock email client works for a while then just quits.
But anyway, thanks for the tip re K-9 mail. Just installed it and will give it a try. It is indeed considerably more complimicated and will probably take some fiddling to get everything the way I want it, but that's OK -- I guess if I wanted simple but uncofigurable functionality I'd have a feature phone or an iPhone.
Seems like the FB app does the same thing. Anyone have a suggestion for a good 3d-party FB client?
Oh, and does anyone else have more than 2 accounts in gmail?
reboot will fix it for a short period
same problem here... worked for two weeks and now only syncs if manually. Rebooting the phone gets it going again... for a few more days and then it will no longer sync again!
How do I change the color of the calendar? Right now mine are all blue which makes it difficult to distinguish between them.
Thank you.
Bump.
let's ask this question differently...
does everyone have the same problem with the calendar assigning only one color to all Google Calendars?
(I have a setup with personal account and a work account, that's like 20 calendars. All are blue, and two at random seemingly are yellow).
Is anyone out there with a firmware where the colors are displayed correctly or are we all in the same boat?
If it's the same for all, I'm going to start investigating preference files. It appears that the calendar CAN support multiple colors (each calendar has its own color label), they're just not set properly, so there may be hope yet.

I did some digging. This seems to be how they Galaxy Calendar app is coded. If I access the calendar via Pure Calendar Widget the colors for the calendar are proper.
I noticed this as well from my launcherpro widget.
It's starting to kind of bug me, but without nandroid fully working I'm not brave enough to explore ROMs in the hope of finding one with a possible fix.
I wonder if there's an XML file somewhere storing all these settings?
As needoz pointed out as well, CLEARLY the device understands the colors when they are synced, it's just Sammy's calendar prog.
Time to browse the file system a little bit.
Will post back if my itchy hands dig up anything more.
Well I'm back quicker than I thought I'd be.
I pulled the calendar .apk from the phone with Rootexplorer, expanded it and started poking around.
At first I was hopeful with all the XML files, and then I hit the graphics section.
All the colors in the calendar are set in pngs. There are 4 in total: blue, orange, green and purple. That's it. 4 colors for events. Blue for internal, orange for google, green for yahoo and I assume purple for exchange. (although it doesn't stick to this strictly on my device so it's really confusing and random).
I also dug up where the correct colors are stored in the calendar.db file, but it looks like Sammy doesn't bother to fetch them at all from the database.
Boo!
This colorproblem really sucks. Does anyone have the original Android Calender as apk ? The Calendar on the Galaxy I9000 doesn´t have that color bug.
You could pull the calander app of the android emulator using adb if it has one. Not sure if that will loog good on the tabs screen

Or look for a app in the market which supports calander colours

Someone figured out how to get rid of the wood theme in the contacts - they were going to tackle the contacts, then the calendar. Sorry I don't know where I saw it, but its out there in wild.
@ranger
The OP is referring to the color of individual calendars, not the background of the calendar app itself.
I did one better and pulled the apk from the Galaxy S i9000 as requested.
Haven't tried it as I got a nice system on my Tab going by combining an exchange and google calendar to achieve the color differentiation. This is NOT a permanent solution, because it involves separating all calendars I have into two groups - work and personal. But it works for me for now so I might try this later only if I'm very itchy.
I'm happy to shoot it over, but before I do maybe one of the mods can help - are we allowed to put up that kind of unmodified stuff on XDA?
Searched with no joy. How do I zoom in k-9 email? Right now it is pretty small on all screens.
Thanks,
kev
I used K-9 for a long time on my Droid phone and I don't remember there being a zoom feature. I do seem to recall that you could change the text size in settings though.
BTW, I stopped using it in favor of the native Gmail app when I found out that you could set it up on the Google Gmail site to poll your pop3 accounts. When it finds a new email, it is instantly pushed to the gmail app on your phone/NC. On my phone I found it saved battery power as the only time the email app was active was when an email was actually sent to it. This as opposed to having K-9 poll the pop3 accounts on a predetermined time frequency. I've been doing this for about 4-5 months now and love it.
Anyway, good luck your issue!!

So, can you zoom in the g-mail client?
Lost focus of your question!!
I just checked and I found no zoom. It does let you reset text size though.

Thank you! Now have that working in message view, but in "in box" for instance, the message subjects are small. It would be nice to get this bigger too.
Thanks for the zoom tip, as I can at least read the message easily & it reflows the text well!! BTW I set all text to large where I had a choice.
I appreciate your help, as every app that I get working the way I like makes me love the NC that much more.
Thanks,
kev
Even with subject set to largest it's too small? I haven't tried k9 on my galaxy tab yet because the default samsung email app is soo awesome. Looks like outlook in landscape. I'll try install and see if it's an issue on my tab.

Hi!
Maybe a stupid question... Also with that enabled pinch to zoom on my HTC Desire does not work. But sometimes zoom buttons appear on the bottom of the screen. But I have no idea where I have to tap or what I have to do to make them appear when I want to zoom
Anybody can tell me?
Thanks and best wishes from Germany,
Müsli
K9 looks fine here.... When you say zoom are you saying that the fonts etc are too small? I haven't noticed any issues here, and I'm fairly sensitive to fonts being too small, like... Pulse...
You guys can use notion inks email app, it is also based on k-9 framework and made for tablet size.
Thanks, but there should be a working text zooming feature in K-9, too, as you can enable it in the preferences. But also enabled pinch to zoom doesn't work for me and I just don't know what to do to make the zoom buttons appear that I activate sometimes occasionally...
Just switched to CM7 and suddenly pinch to zoom in K-9 works...
I love it, so far it has made the whole tab smoother. The task manager is sweet as well as the new Widgets. I really like that it made my transitions from screen to screen smooth. Overall I think this update is awesome. AND we get a movies section under the market now.

I would have to agree. The TouchWiz on the phones was atrocious, and I was really worried when I heard about it coming to the tablet. After installing the update, I am very impressed. I like the new Widgets, the Email app while doesn't look as nice, runs very well and supports newer ActiveSync which helps me atm. The Screenshot button is amazing, and overall it just runs really really well.
I am impressed Samsung.
Sadly they haven't fixed email when connected to Exchange Server. When replying to an email it gets stuck in the outbox.
I have never had that problem, and just replied to an email on my exchange server. It might be the exchange server you are connecting to is misconfigured.
Ok, I found an issue, the size of the Text on their new custom widgets is huge, with no way to resize....
Definitely smoother, typing less laggy, browser faster. I like it

Huh, can even change the system fonts via Settings / Screen / Screen Display / Font Style with some options and a way to get more online in the market. I know it's no big deal but that kinda tweaking without hacking is a nice add.
I am liking the TW update so far, more so now that my corp VPN access should be good to go once IT approves access from tabs. The Cisco Anyconnect has all it needs now.
Although I lost the unlocked boot I am v e r y happy with the update. Movies are there too. Some people complained there were no movies. Still I prefer Netflix. I am outside of US now and using vpn. Media hub works OK, but music hub insists that it will not work here??
I must be missing something. I got the update and noticed the same amount of hitching while swiping through home screens. I did a factory default reset and its still the same, weird. Everyone is talking about it being smooth now but I'm not seeing it, and I don't want to go back to Wallpaper Wizardrii and disable wallpaper scrolling to fix it again. What am I missing? I even took most of the widgets off the home screens and its still hitching quite a noticeable amount.

are you using live wallpaper? I re-enabled it and noticed the lag again so, once again, disabled it.

Does "show pictures" actually work now with exchange? Is the issue fixed with exchange where if you type a word with an apostrophe and send the email the recipient sees garbled html code instead of the work you typed?

Does this tab have FlipFonts? I don't have it with me right now, but I'm so glad I found this post. The font is making me crazy.

Yup, that's what it's looking for in the Market.
As far as I can tell they did not add certificate support for exchange. Makes the tab kind of useless in the corporate world. We dont allow anyone to get our coporate email on their mobile devices with out a certificate and remote wipe capabilities.
functionally I think the update is nice seems smoother. The font size increase on widgets is a little annoying especially on the email widget. the fonts seems large and blockish.
so far I would rate it an 85 out of 100.
Ya lag is for browser gone..on facebook and xda, places it used to be troublesome
but its still there on google plus desktop, oh well, must be a extensive site

Does anyone know of a way to change the system font size back to the standard size? (a flashable zip would be ideal, but if you know of a rom that allows this that would be ok too) Not liking the oversized fonts...thanks

I still don't get where people are coming with this. I work in a corporate company with high security, and exchange with certificates and remote wipe.
All i did was setup a Corporate Account, there even checkboxes for accepting certificates. And when you set it up it even sets up remote wiping, a pin, everything.
Even applies a No Internet Sharing setup.
Also for those that asked earlier, the bug with replying to exchange emails with apostraphes has been Fixed. I just tried it out.
The new Samsung modified email thing doesn't have a "Show Picture" options, it just straight loads the picture in the message. But pictures in messages do work.

Sorry I should have been more specific. We require client certificates to be installed on mobile devices for users to have access to corporate email.
Stock android email doesnt support this as far as I can tell before or after touchwiz. Only app I have found that supports this is touchdown. I have not tried enhanced mail since they dont have a trial and secureEAS looks like it doesn't work on honeycomb.

Oh, ok, that makes more sense. The only thing I can think of is allowing them to only use it through VPN?
