I have just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S3 in the UK and loving the phone so far, coming from the HTC Desire so quite a big jump ins size and spec ways.
One small problem, I'm having so far is I have added the Google Calendar widget to one of the home screens but when I tap on the widget it doesn't launch the calendar app. When I had the desire, if I clicked on the top of the calendar it would launch the calendar on the current day and if I tapped on one of the appointments the calendar would open up on the day for that appointment, but neither of these are working.
I also can't find the calendar app within the app drawer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
The calender is now called S Planner in the app drawer.

Thanks this worked, I disabled the S-Planner as I thought this was Samsung's own bloatware app. This isn't the default google calendar app though which I prefer, is there a way to disable the S-Planner and use the genuine Google Calendar App. It seems a bit strange to me that samsung have replaced the google calendar with their own version. Not to keen on S-planner
Thanks
I have the same question, is it possible to replace s-planner with google calendar app?

Anybody know where to find google calendar app?
I searched on the Play store and it's on there. Someone pulled it out of ICS 4.0.3.

Oh sorry, my bad. I didn't know that.
The biggest problem with most calendar apps is that they tie to your Google account on the device. Of course, nobody has been able to get Google sign-ins fully working on the NC. I would imagine once they get that figured out, the stock calendar and many 3rd party calendars will work.

How to Sync Calendar
Easy - just go to your Gmail account setup. You will see a box for "Add New Account". Just add your GMail account again - YES, do this. You will then see a screen for syncing stuff - on it will be an option for syncing "Calendar" - check this.
Now you can sync Google Calendar on your PC with that on the Nook Color!
There's also a PC App for syncing your Google Calendar (on PC) with your Outlook Calendar.
I've been using a combination of [paid] "Puregrid Calendar" Widget and [free] "Synker" to keep my Gmail calendar sync'd with the Nook Color. It has a nice full month calendar widget on the home screen that I really like.
I wasn't aware there was any reliable to way to sync the Gmail calendar with the device, so I'll have to give the mentioned method a shot and see if I can maybe get rid of Synker (although I like being able to sync on demand with a device that isn't connected to the Internet 24/7).
SWEET
@Docfreed - thanks - I've been trying to figure this out for days!
Try Smooth Calendar in the Market.
Doc's fix worked. Thanks.
I use Calendar Pad. It has a couple widget sizes and modes... day, week, and month.
Cheers,
Rich

@Docfreed, Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Meanwhile, synker seems to do the trick.

I had the same problem, got synker working as well but would love to not have to use it.
I tried going to gmail and adding account but got the same message as ehrune. Any help would be appreciated.
I am such a dork... can't remember anything anymore. I found another thread with a solution and I also found a semi solution that I actually posted myself. Geesh!
I posted this in December and didn't remember:
"My calendar wasn't working. I went to Calendar - menu - more - my calendar
Then I removed my calendar, added it back and voila! It populated."
A more permanent solution is in this thread:

Does anybody know a way to get the Calendar to sync with a Google Apps account? I tried to re-add the account but the option to sync with Google App still is not working.
weird bar at top of calendar
has anyone seen this weird blank bar at the top of their calendar?
anyone how to remove it? just FYI, i have my calendar syncing with google.
Ok, I've searched all through google and I want to figure this out. I really love the touchwiz calendar app and I desperately need to use some sort of tasks app that syncs with my google account. I know there are plenty of apps in the market that do this but I want to use the stock touchwiz one. But I can't figure out how to sync that with google. I looked at my wife's gs2 and that phone had a separate tasks app that did sync with a google account. So my question is twofold:
1. Is there anyway to sync my calendar-tasks app with google. (Right now it only syncs my calendar)?
2. Can I grab the tasks apk from the gs2 or does the international galaxy note have this and I can grab from there?
Thanks

Same here I'd like to know.
Although, I have been looking around. And also the GNote task works with Exchange.
The app that i have been using for this is google task organizer. Found this after trying out many.
Well updated and good dev support.
It syncs with the google tasks annd also appears as a GTO calendar in google calender.

Well I'm actually using any.do which I have been using on my xperia arc for quite some time now. However, I would like to be able to use the stock task app by Samsung because of it's beautiful UI and full screen widgets.

Anyone ever figure this out? I have an S3 and a Tab 2 7.0 and haven't figured out yet if stock touchwiz will sync the tasks portion up to google. I suspect it won't, otherwise I'd run a TW rom for the cool calendar app pin the S3 instead of AOSP CM10 based.

hi everyone!
dont know if u notice.... the option for facebook contacts sync in the social hub was removed in the new Ics Rom the problem with this is that all the contacts pics are now small resolution.. so there pixalated as.. f....k
anyone knows a solution for this??
Me saw that too... and so has the inherest ability to sync fb birthdays to tw calendar also gone... Any workarounds anyone??
Yes, HaxSync paid app and works better syncs higher quality photos, events and birthdays. Worth the pennies it costs from play store.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Also noticed that it's missing, however a review on GSM arena seems to suggest it should be there?
One important change is the new Contacts app. It integrates with your SNS services and gives you a second tab for each contact's details with their photo and info grabbed from social networks.
You get to this tab by swiping sideways - a bit like you would in Windows Phone (Android has really grown into the sideways swipe thing too).

I dont understand why Calendar and messages can be sync but contacts cant....
Is it permanent for ICS roms that are to come?
Thanks
I actually created a new thread for this not knowing that it has been asked...
Yes, I also noticed the GSMarena review and so I thought that I had a bad update. I tried to restore to factory setting and reflash the firmware update but still nada.
My current conclusion is perhaps for somewhat reason some firmware versions have the SNS contact integration and some don't...
Mine is XLP7. Would others kindly share their firmware version and situation on the SNS contact integration?

I am using ICS DXLP7. If you just upgrade from Ginger to ICS without doing data wipe or factory reset, calendar and messages were fine but Official Samsung ICS ROM (upgraded using KIES) doesn't have Facebook Contacts sync anymore.
However, if you did do the factory reset after installing ICS on you Galaxy S2 ... poor you, you will not be able to sync any of the three (Facebook contacts, messages, and calender). Must use third party app.
yeah at the end the solution is an app from the market.. theres 2 that works well but they dont sync phone numbers tho

hi to everybody,
yesterday i see for the first time the calendar app in the play store, this make me foolish, because it is not the same app pre-installed in every ROM....
if they are really different, in what?
thank you
No need to feel foolish. It was released on Google Play only yesterday. Or 2 days ago, I forget.
But bascially Google Calendar is stock calendar, because usually people have Touchwiz or Sense or Motoblur phones which are all different, skinned Google Calendars.
So Google released the stock calendar for people who want it (if you own a nexus or vanilla android device there's no point in downloading it)

No, I'm pretty sure they are the exact same. You can download Google Calendar and compare, though
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
I think CM's calendar is built from source & themeable via the Theme chooser. I don't know if Google's calendar would be. Functionally I don't think you'd see any difference.
yes, i can't resist without compare, and..... are almost exactly the same:
in the G calendar we have the menu with new help and settings entries and the widget has the top bar blue....
i should install new gapps to see if updated CM calendar is really the G calendar in the store, what do you say?
it is the same
Actually, I have noted one difference between the two - when entering location information for an event, as you start typing it will suggest addresses from your contacts. Tried entering the same exact event details on the built-in calendar and it did not make any suggestions.
This is key for me, as I use the Google Now feature that lets me know when it's time to leave to arrive on time (I'm a computer support technician so I'm always leaving from different locations to go to my next destination). Other than that I haven't found any difference, but that's enough of one for me to use the standalone version instead.

I know it may be stating the obvious but im assuming you have the other calendars all ticked. i.e open calendar app, tap top left to display year, month, week etc and at the bottom you'll see the calendars its showing (you can also pick their colour to differentiate)

Of course. The problem is THEY ARE NOT THERE.
The only one visible is default gmail.com one.
The other two are NOT there, although they are on Gmail and on my Xperia Z as well.

I'm sure its a kitkat related problem as your Xperia Z would be running JB not 4.4.2.
Have you tried clearing the calendar caches. i.e. from managing apps, finding calendar and clearning the data cache and then attempting a re sync?
If that doesnt work, it may be the stock calendar. Then try google calendar from the play store to try to pinpoint what is causing it. i.e. calendar on the phone, kitkat etc
I had the same problem. 1 of my calendar was not appearing. I solved it by removing my account from the accounts settings and adding it back. Then all my calendar appeared in stock calendar app.

My gmail calendar has 3 groups/subgroups whatever you call it.
Only one syncs. The other ones do not.
How to remove the account?
Google account?
Settings-tap on Google (in section Accounts),tap on email adress, in sync page tap on 3 dots, choose delete account.
NO SUCCESS.
After removing and resyncing the Google account I still see only default calendar.
What a crap!

Have you cleared the calendar app cache and data via managing apps.
Also tried Google calendar from the play store?
This will atleast start eliminating what the culprit could be.
It may be the calendar app itself for some reason.

Just wanted to say I removed and re-added the google account and then finally showed all the calendars that I linked to my account.
One thing I've noticed that I'm sure wasn't an issue before is that it only syncs about 1yr back not All events. Via google calendar from a PC events years ago are there but not on my phone. Just can't find any options to sync everything
