Hello there. I have a problem setting up multiple google calendars on my Lumia 920. All the manuals say that you should go to m.google.com/sync and choose what calendars to sync with your device. I know this method because that's how I used to do iy on my iphone. But when I visit the site from my Lumia it just redirects me to some useless help section. Has anybody managed to add multiple google calendars so far? Thank you in advance.

After some additional googling I've found this link:
https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/welcome?source=mobileproducts&hl=en
This one has worked as it should. Maybe it can be of some use for somebody else.
P.S. Screw you Google for making this so difficult.

I am not sure I understand this or may be I am mistaken.
But I have added three different Gmail accounts to my phone. When I go to Calendar, in the settings, it allows to select which calendars to show.
Also, each of this Gmail account allows me to sync emails, contacts and calendars (In settings, email accounts - click on each account you have)
Is this what you were asking?

No. He's asking how you choose multiple google calendars from a single google account to sync to your phone. I have about 8 linked calendars (I think - it's a big number) to my one google account, and I have 4 of them syncing to my WP8 phone.
You do it using the direct link, not the general m.google.com link which gets redirected incorrectly for WP8's browser, apparently.

I also have a standard google calendar which I got to working after yesterday's lost of sync. But I have one separate category for birthdays that doesn't get sync (not linked to google contacts). My main calendar that is my gmail's calendar works pretty nice with lumia 920, US holidays, Greek Holidays and name days get synced also, but the second calendar that I created with birthdays doesn't. If I don't find a solution soon I will incorporate birthdays into gmail's calendar. I don't want though as I mainly use as my calendar application the windows desktop vueminder (I believe best of its kind)and I have set different reminders, colors etc for the second calendar. Or I maybe incorporate birthdays into google contacts but at first I didn't because google displays birthdays as all day event and I didn't like it at that point.

Hi all wise ones,
I am using my activesync to sync both my email and calender.
My wife and I also have both of our google calenders shared with each other but hers does not show up on my phone calender. is there a way to get my activesync to import both my google calender and my wife's calender?
Thanks,
Jeff

You should set up a second server source on your phone, with your wife's google account information. Set it to sync only the calendar. This should work fine for you.

I dont think you can have two server sources via active sync, I have looked and I only have the option of one.
Do you know a trick?
thanks,
Jeff
Oggsync do a free version so you could use that to log in as your wife on your phone to have another source.
However, I don't like how it seems to screw times up.
We have a similar set up to you (though I only want to sync my own, two family, and public bank holiday and football team matches.
I use neuvasync.com, seems to work great (and it's free!).
First install Email2.1.apk.
Open Email.app
Setup exchange account.
Now, install CorpCal.apk.
After this, Defy should sync mail, contacts and calendar.
Does it sync google accounts or just corporate?

*Should* . My Defy only syncs contacts and Email. The calender does not sync at all. Any hints? Or do I need to replace the calender app as well?

Yeah. I did but the localization of "Coperate Calendar" is "Google Calender" if you happen to have german locales selected. I did not find the application on on the first tries. But many thanks it now works.
Maildroid
Why not use Maildroid. I found it to be excellent for corporate sync. Except for the Ads, but that OK.
Worked perfectly for me. Went back to blur just because I didn't like having two calendars, but if I get a ROM without Blur this is what I will use.
thnx a lot German Buddy
As I just found this thread:
For people interested, I posted some more detailed instructions on how to install the files here. The removal of the blured email app is not necessary, of course.
Hello,
first of all thanks for this solution, sounds promising. Nevertheless i have some problems:
I installed both files and could setup my exchange account (windows live) afterwards. It seems that it worked, at least there were no error messages, but my defy doesn't synchronize contacts anyway. A test mail has not been received too.
So what did i wrong?
Another question: Does the provided Calender App work with non-google calenders (windows live) too?
Edit: Ok, Push Mail and Contact Sync works now. Obviously there is no error message when you type in a wrong password.
Anyway: The Calender Sync doesn't work. Is this only for Google Calender?
Touchdown
Without the best app for corporate email, calendar, contacts and tasks. Completetely independant from built in apps, provides security, well laid out and plenty of options for alerting, signiture option and lots more
I'm just starting off with Android, and I can't figure out how to get my Google Calendar synced with the S3. Here is a screenshot of when I hit Calendars in "S Calendar": http://i.imgur.com/p3CcV.png
When I create a new event, I can choose which calendar it should be in: http://i.imgur.com/7V5lS.png
I created a Test event and tried choosing either of the other calendars, saving and syncing, but no matter what I cannot see the event on any other machine with my Google account. In Accounts and Sync, my Google account options are all checked to sync. This damned thing will not sync, though
(Contacts syncs fine, thankfully). Would appreciate any help!

My advice is to login from your notebook or desktop computer first and access Google Calendars directly as you can setup your main calendar much easier there. Once setup (calendar name, color, sharing options, etc), you can easily go under S Calendar and choose to sync the name of the calendar you just created online.
Afterwards, you'll be able to add/delete events from both your device or on your computer. Hope this helps!
Thanks, the problem is a little different now as I finally got the damned thing to sync with my Google account. Now, every time I create a new Event I keep getting the default calendar to be Samsung Calendar: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iq8bco0pnp7s2ni/Screenshot_2012-06-28-21-23-52.png
Yet in the S Planner Settings > Calendars I have this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdj6hpp3tjvo66y/Image-1530870737.png As you can see, I only have my Gmail account checked, I have the My Calendars/Tasks and Samsung account all unchecked.
I even went into Accounts and Sync and unchecked every option for my Samsung account there, so the only account syncing right now on my phone is my Google account. Still the new Events in S Planner default to the Samsung Calendar!?! Greatly appreciate any way to solve this
Have you tried clearing data in calendar and calendar storage in settings yet? Then resync calendar stuff after that.

I'm having the same issue after I created a new gmail account. It syncs fine with my BlackBerry. When I added my new gmail account on my S2 it wouldn't sync my calendar or contacts. I thought there was an issue with my S2. It won't sync to my S3 as well. Is there something in gmail that I have to do? The calendar dates are still syncing on my old gmail account.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks, I did that, even rebooted the phone, but Samsung Calendar is still default. I think I'm going to use Jorte and forget about S Planner, despite how great it looks :/
I fixed my gmail calendar sync issues. No need to respond in case someone figures it out later on.
I got Calendar Calendar Events synced just fine, but apparently it won't sync Google Tasks. It wants you to use the Samsung-specific task system I guess. That sucks.
As soon as I root my phone I will delete the calendar app. I use the "Jorte" calendar app (available in Play store) which syncs everything and has the most robust options of any calendar app that I've seen so far (wince the last time I went app hunting last November, could be new apps by now). Jorte allows you to view Google Calendar Events and Google Tasks at the same time in multiple, customizeable different types of views (monthly, various versions of weekly views, daily, etc). Jorte is SUPER customizeable. I have found no other app that comes close in terms of functionality.
Another app call "LLama - Location Profiles" lets you automatically customize just about any aspect of your phone depending on your location and time of day. It will change your profiles automatically when you enter or leave a location at certain times. You can even tell it to remind you about something based on location and time. For example, you can have Llama remind you to "Clean Mom's car" when you arrive at Mom's house, or to "Ask my boss that question before I leave work!" if you are at your work location and it is almost time to leave.
That's a shame Samsung won't let you sync Google Tasks.
It's even more of a shame that Android's native Calendar app doesn't support Google Tasks. Come on now Google!

Thanks, yeah I have gone through oodles of calendar and task apps over the last few days, tried damn near everything worth trying, and I've settled with an excellent combo for me: Astrid + Jorte + Agenda Widget. It does everything I need. Thanks for the Lama app heads-up, will check it out!

Similar issue, if I create an event using s panner on my phone, the event doesn't sync to my gmail calender.
However, the planner does tkae events from the desktop g-calender.

same here
What's the "desktop g-calendar?"
Though I've been using Jorte all this time quite happily, after resetting a few days back I solidified that not entering your Samsung account information on first boot of the phone solves the S Planner syncing/calendar choice issue pretty much. You must set your Google account up first, then a Samsung account if you'd like. S Planner will then see the Google account as "default" and use it.
desktop as in when i access from my desktop pc. or laptop.

S3 Calendar Syncing issue
I just added a Google Calendar from the play store. Synced instantly!
unprofessional
Dear Google-Android- and Samsung-S3-developers!!
Here is a list of some very annoying facts:
- I have a Sasmung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with the latest Android-Version 4.1.2.
- if I set up a new Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account on my S3 and sync it with my corperate Exchange 2010 Server I have duplicated entries in my S-Planner Calendar right from the very first sync.
- especially birthday entries (untimed entries with yearly repeat) are duplicated.
- I can reproduce this bug no matter how often I delete the calendar memory, remove and re-instal the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, reset my phone etc.
- if I google this bug I get thousands of hits where users are reporting the very same bug with their Android phones (like in this thread).
- some of these duplicate entry bug reports go back for more than 1 year but so far no solution.
- syncing of contacts, emails and calendar entries with MS Exchange is considerd to be a basic function of a smart phone. That's why this functions is part of the pre-installed OS.
- the pre installed Exchange clients on all other devices (Apple iPhone, Nokia Symbian or Windows phones etc.) do NOT have this bug. Thus this is an Android bug and not MS Exchange.
SO WOULD YOU PLEASE FINALLY FIX THIS ANNOYING BUG IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!
just got my new S3 last night, pretty happy. However, I can't get FB events/birthdays to show up in the calendar like my previous Amaze did? There is no calendar option under the accounts and sync option for facebook?
Any ideas?
You have to add a "Facebook (for sync)" account (I don't if that's the correct translation, I don't have my phone in English), you don't even need to install the Facebook app. Then you need to allow the permissions it asks, if you reject or remove any of it, then it won't work.
Awesome! Thanks!
I'm getting events but no birthday?

The easiest way to do it is, go to facebook calendar on your browser, copy the export calendar link, add this link on your google calendar via web browser. Now when you go to your google calendars on your android, you will be presented with 2 new calendars facebook events and facebook birthdays.
Its very effective that way

I tried that and gave me the link was wrong. So i exported it as iCal and imported in good calendar. Worked like a charm.
One question though, every time i have a new event coming up or add a new friend on FB, i will have to re-export, am i right? because it doesn't auto update them.
The only way to keep updated is the app?
Thanks for your input guys
Hello guys,
I have a common quesiton about synchronising my gmail and Exchange (work) account with my HTC Desire HD Android Version 2.3.5
At the moment I synchronise my gmail accoutn with mail, calender, tasks and phone directory.
For future use I want to synchronise with Exchange from work, even the same functions like gmail.
For gmail I use the given gmail-mail program which is implemented with Android.
For Exchange I'd like to use the "Mail" function which is also a standard tool from Android.
My question:
1. I've seen that there is the possibility to show or not show different calenders, phone books etc. When I creat the Exchange additionally to the gmail account, is there a complete new calender built with the Exchange rules or does it use my gmail calender? The same for phone directory.
I want to avoid that the two accounts will be fully mashed in the future. So, if I quit my workplace I want to delete the Exchange account and all work information will be lost but not my personal gmail account, settings and personal data like calender, phone directory etc.
2. Is the Exchange completely separated to the gmail account?
I'm a littel bit frightend to configure the Exchange accoutn because I don' want to mix up the two accounts.
I hope I wrote it in a understandable way and not redundant to an existing article.
Thanks a lot and regards
The email app and the gmail app are different, are independent one of the other. You'll have no problem, nor with the contacts.
