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?

Something has to put the birthday in the calendar. If you sync with Exchange, and set up your contacts wtih Birthdays, Outlook will add them to the calendar. Google doesn't do this, but there are some tools to do it:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/07/birthday-calendar-for-google-contacts.html
Since Facebook doesn't have a calendar, I see no way to do it automatically. All the above methods rely on the contact app to talk to the calendar app within one application suite.
If you have Google/Gmail contacts and you have all their birthday information entered there. The easiest way is to go to Google calendar on a desktop. Then you would go to the Calendar settings, click on the Calendars link, and then click where it says to "Browse interesting calendars". This will take you to a page where it has the options for Holidays, Sports, or More. If you click more, there is a "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar that you can subscribe to. Once subscribed, you can then select it as one of the calendars to sync on your phone to the calendar app.
Sounds complicated and maybe it is for some, but it was not for me. Hope this helps.
"EboBirthday" from Android Market does exactly what you're looking for perfectly and you don't have to worry about syncing with anything outside of the contact list on your phone.

well... kind of...
when you turn your phone off, and turn it back on... all the birthdays dissappear from the calender and you have to run EBOBIRTHDAY again... which takes a few minutes if you have a lot of contacts...
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
Hmm. This didn't happen to me and I've had it practically since the phone came out

Meh. I still prefer the Google contacts and calendar method.

Newbie here...
I got my Nook Color a few days ago, rooted using auto-nooter 3.0.0
It's running 1.1.0 and so far the experience has been pretty good.
One question tho has to do with syncing the calendar with my google calendars. Right now I am able to sync with a public calendar, but I can't find a way for the calendar to use my google gmail credentials to sync with my non-public calendars (altho when I go into the calendar app -> Setting -. My Calendars the list of calendars that I subscribe to in my gmail account show up, which means to me that it has connected once to get this info).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'va the same problem.
Someone know how to resolve this problem please ?
Thanks
(sorry for my english, i speek french)
If you open your gmail app and add your google account again, it will give you the option to sync the calander at the end.

I cannot thank you enough! This is one of the biggest things I was looking to get resolved, and what a straightforward solution! I've modded my DX and feel totally comfortable working with it and CWR, but I'm really struggling with the NC and this is a win for me as I make small steps in my understanding. Thanks again
I installed Calengoo, which I have also used on my iPod Touch to sync with Google Calendar seamlessly

Keep in mind that to KEEP it synced, you'll need to use Synker or some other similar application. It won't sync automatically. There's a few threads with people saying they've managed to make it work one way or another, but I've never managed it myself.

Mine is actually appearing to sync automatically!
I'll look into Synker though - sounds useful. Thanks for the tip!

So you add an event on the web side and it syncs automatically to the NC? Damnit, why can't I get this to work.... You're using stock B&N rom with auto nooter or other rooting process, right?

Correct. I had to double check this today, and yes, it works! I add something on my computer (using a web browser) into Google Calendar, and almost immediately it shows up in the calendars of my Nook Color and Nexus One.
I'm using the stock ROM (1.1.0) with auto nooter (3.0.0). I followed the instructions above to re-add the Gmail account, and automagically the calendar started auto-syncing! (I have Touch Calendar, but also Jorte and Calendar Pad installed, but I don't think that has anything to do with it?)
I hope you will get yours to work too, and I'll be happy to answer any more questions you have.
I really like the Facebook sync on Samsung, that it allows you to sync contacts and calender with your phone. However on Cyanogen you can only have the Facebook for Android app which only allows you to sync contacts.
Can I install the SNS features from a Samsung rom to Cyanogen Mod? Or has someone found a workaround, maybe with Google Calender?
Thanks in advance!
You cannot use Samsung apps on CM7. they have a different file system and they will not work.
you will need to find something else.
I dont use Facebook... so i cant help you
I have used "HaxSync for Facebook" but it stopped working without replacement. So I'm finding for similar app, but I have not found

Hi,
Can anyone help me backup my phone contacts from my X8 to my N7000? Or even one better, move the phone contacts to my google account..
Thanks.
Re: [Q] move phone contacts
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the x8 android?
What system version is it on?
You should be able to just go to settings -> accounts and setup contacts sync with Google
Have you tried that?
Re: [Q] move phone contacts
This is what I did for my phone: set up your android with your Google account open contacts and add a contract manually it will ask if it should sync with Google select yes....then create a contract backup on your other phone and get it on your new phone with Bluetooth....then on the new phone select import contacts and import the backup.....once imported it syncs with Google and done

Thanks for your fast answers. Even though i didn't quite understood how i did it i was trying your tips and finally i have my contacts in my N7000 and they're merged with my google account.
But i obviously screwed up somewhere cuz all my contacts now appear duplicated!!
Oh my God, what a mess. Is there any easy way to fix this?
Thanks for your patience.

On contacts press the menu button then go down to "display contacts" or "contacts to display" there choose custom and remove unnecessary displayed paths aka sim card or hotmail or whatever you don't need.
Or if you haven't merged facebook with google contacts then they will be displayed twice. Just check the icon that is shown on the dublicated contacts and merg that with google or remove from showing.

This was very helpful, but all duplicate contacts are in google account in "My contacts" and are exactly the same contacts i had in my X8, i believe some error occurred while trying to backup contacts.. I'm afraid that even if i delete them one by one they'll still be in google and i would like to solve this.
Also if everyone doesn't mind me asking one more question.. I noticed the dialer keeps repeating same contact log instead of grouping all logs together in same contact.. Please check picture. Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks for all your help so far.
Found the sollution!
Contact Duplicates Removal: Found below solution. My only problem is I don't have a "Find Duplicates" button! I don't even see a right-side panel!! Be gentle!
"Open the Contact Manager.
Click the Find duplicates button in the right-side panel.
We'll display the duplicates we've found. You can expand them by clicking the details link next to each one and uncheck any that you don't want to merge.
When you're ready, click Merge at the top of the list."
