Setting a default calendar when adding events

Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to set the default calender on the captivate when adding a calender event it always defaults to "my calendar" which is in the phone. Every time I add an event to my calender I would like it to go to my gmail calender instead of always having to change it.

I'm surprised nobody has run into this yet. Does anyone use their calendar???

yeah I have the same problem.
Couldn't find a setting to change it. I will play with it a little more right now.

yep no luck.
Even went into settings while in calendar and unchecked the "my calendar" one - it still comes up as default.
No setting for it.

I haven't tried this yet, but if you add an event to "my calendar" does it still sync with the Gmail account? I assume no...

Anything on this issue yet? Isn't the point of a google phone to be able to integrate into google applications like calendar? This is a horrible feature on this phone which for me is a pain as i enter a lot of calendar entries daily. It worked just fine on my htc hero (as did the gps and contact groups...).

Did you go to Settings / Accounts and sync / your Gmail account, then check Sync Calander?

Yes. My gmail account syncs just fine. The problem is when you add an appointment to the calendar on the phone, it defaults to "my calendar" (which will not sync with google). I would like for it to default to my google calendar when adding an entry on the phone.

Try an alternative calendar app like Gemini Calendar or Jorte Calendar. They are both free and let you use your Google Calendar by default.
I chatted online with a Samsung person to find out if there was a way to make the Google calendar the default in the calendar app that comes with the phone. She claimed that she was able to sync an event from her phone calendar with her Google calendar, but the steps she told me to use did not work for me. I think she didn't understand what I was asking.

Im currently using Jorte and it is working fine. I hope samsung gets a fix for this as i do like the layout of the stock samsung calendar.

Really?
Create an event, change the calendar where it is saved to your gmail account, click ok, SAVE EVENT. If you don't want the event, delete it.
Next time you create an event it will default to your gmail account.

I have no issue with the calendar.
Open the calendar app, press the menu button, select more, select setting, select calendars, un-check 'My Calendar' done.

This is not working for me. Is there an actual setting somewhere you can set to force the phone to do what it's supposed to do?

Contack and calandar apps..

Hi all..
I have been searching for a contact app and a calendar witch will sync with google and Facebook.. but without luck :-\
So my question is, can any1 upload and share the std from HTC? I like it and would like to use it, if it's possible? Atleast just the contact app ;-)
Thx :-D

First of all..
This is the wrong section in which to ask questions..
Do that in general..
Second..
You can only use the HTC apps in stock HTC Roms..
So you need to be more precise in what rom you are planning to use these applications.

LauncherProPlus (LPP) has clones of the HTC contacts, facebook, twitter, calendar, friendstream widgets...

Oh sorry.. i use the nightly builds ;-)
Will try launcherproplus then ;-)

IF you are refering to the actual contact list, it is possible to sync with FB. Just download the official FB app, log in and activate sync in settings. This syncs pictures and some info.

I don't quite understand what you need exactly. I'm also using a nightly build (43) and my contacts and calendar are synced with my Google account. I didn't check with Facebook cause I don't have such account (and hope not need to have one ever) but with Google works fine. I'm not using any extra applications just the ones provided with the build. I have installed Dialer One and a calendar widget but that's nothing to do with the synchronization itself. That is done through Settings - Accounts & Sync

Calendar Replacement -> Add to mult. Cals.See

Seems every calendar I find is quite limited.
One thing in particular I want to be able to do is when I add an event, I on occasion want to be able to add it to multiple calendars.
Of course other things such as search the calendar; copy an entry; have longer reminder times to choose if I want.
Any suggestions on an app?

The calendar in launcher pro is very nice

I have that, and it is not a calendar replacement, just a widget to display from current calendar. Agree, it is nice.
Since posting a bit ago, I have found that I can use the Participants box to 'invite' my wife, and then she gets an email which she has to accept the invitation. That at least will accomplish that.
Regarding search, i have found a couple widgets that I could consider.
Just have to piece it together I guess.

Issues with Calendar on Blinkfeed and lockscreen notifications

Hello guys
As it is written on the thread name I just cant get my Calendar entries to show on Blinkfeed.
Furthermore my eMails from my Gmail account arent showing up on the lockscreen despite having it setted as "Productivity"
I hope some can help me, becaue those issues really bug me a lot.
Thanks

Are you using the stock mail and calendar apps? Blinkfeed and the productivity lock screen only pull data from the stock apps.

Ok I use Gmail for my Mail account.That explains the lockscreen issue.thanks for that!
Is it right that with Android 4.2 we can use lockscreen widgets,so i can customize with Gmail?
In case of the calendar issue I am using the stock app,which was preloaded on the HTC One. Any more suggestions why it doesnt show up?

for the first question that'll depend. android 4.2.2 stock comes with lockscreen widgets. whether HTC decides to add them to their lockscreen setup is a completely other issue lols.
as for your second issue. check the blinkfeed topics and services section. scroll to the left and see what services you have toggled on. you have to have calendar on for it to show. it shows fine for me. also it does not pre-show events you have coming up only when the event is happening at that moment. so i have my calendar setup for my classes. say i have class at 3pm. blinkfeed will not tell me i have a class coming up at 3pm if i update it at 1pm. it will show up though when i update my blinkfeed around 3:20pm though. An interesting tid bit is if you have way too many topics and facebook stuff your calendar blinkfeed will get pushed down and you wont see it. (IE it wont have priority space on the blinkfeed area)
hopefully that helps explain it a bit.

Thanks for answering, but it still doesn't work. I guess it's my blinkfeed,which is bugged somehow and I can't see a way to get in working despite trying hard. Maybe I just have to live with this and adapt to it or wait for an update to fix this bug

Are you on a stock ROM? Or custom? I'm on ordroid 5.0.0 and it works fine. Are you sure your Google calendars are updating? Do you see stuff when you go into the calendar app?

It seems that Blinkfeed only show the calendar entries that is due for today. Try adding something in your calender for today and reboot your phone. It should show then.

Hey guys,
I know that this isn't a new topic, but I having some problems with my HTC ONE.
My calendar doesn't show the events, events is in it`s data base, but still not showing in application.
When i use search i can found my events.
My HTC is updated to android 4.3
I've tried to reconfigure the accounts, but have no effect.
I using the default application, that came with the phone.
Someone knows what I need to do for correct this issue?
Below some screenshots.

Same issue
I have "Contacts Birthday's and Events" calendar subscribed in my Gmail and I maintain the birthday dates of all my contacts in Gmail [format: December DD, YYYY]. In HTC calendar [Accounts] i checked the Google option and in that i checked "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option, which takes the birthdays dates from my Gmail contacts and sets reminders and notifications. But I am not able to see any notifications from the calendar.
Now, i have another option in HTC Calendar Accounts called "People (Birthdays & Anniversaries)" and i have no idea where this option came from and from where it takes the birthday data from but it displays the birthdays. The annoying thing is when an event is about to occur this People thing displays 4 reminders for the same event, which is irritating.
I want to know where this People option came from and from where its taking the data and why the hell cant i see the Gmail contacts birthdays through the "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option??? :crying:

[Q] HTC One Stock Email App -- Email Widget

Hi Colleagues,
I have HTC One Stock Rom & am using the Stock Email App to connect & view my office email. The apps is good & works fine. But i am unable to find an Widget for this app to put on the Home Screen. Next i tried to browse the play store to get email widgets, but with no luck. Can you guys let me know, what is the default email app used in Stock ROM, and if there is any widget for the same in play store?
If not which the next best email app that i can use on HTC One. I rather like the stock email app, but anything near that will do but i need a widget.
Thanks in Advance for your response.
Kind Regards,
HD
