Calendar Reminders

The HTC calendar has added reminders for all my calender events, but I don't want them. I've removed all reminders from my google calendar and synced but they are still there, and in the calender settings on the desire the default reminder time cannot be set to "none".
The only way I can see to remove all reminders is one by one editing each event. Is there a quicker way to do this?

You could try in calendar, clicking menu, then more, then calendars, and selecting which calendars you want displayed. But I dont know if it only works with the htc calendar.

[Q] Facebook Birthday Reminders

Does anyone know how to disable the reminders that appear 12 hours before every birthday on facebook? I'm more than happy to see them in the agenda widget but that's about it.
Cheers
Try to uncheck Facebook from Calendar, not sure if it helps.
are you using the Facebook app or the mobile site?
I don't get any reminders inside the Facebook app.
I think you are referring to the birthday reminders from the calendar app which sync all your Facebook friends birthdays. so if you want to disable those reminders follow these steps:
1-go to the calendar app in the app drawer.
2-go to: menu (top right of the screen)> settings> default reminder.
3-choose the time you want the reminders to popup (in your case check "none").
I hope this was useful.

[Q] Business Calendar facebook synchronisation

Hi all,
I've been using Business Calendar for a while. It synchronises my gmail calendar and also my facebook events/birthdays. This is really useful because I don't need to put an event into my calendar after I've already accepted it.
Since switching to a custom ROM (JellyTime), Business Calendar does not seem to recognise my facebook account on the phone so I cannot get it to synchronise the facebook events. The instructions say that it should recognise any calendars on your phone but that does not happen.
Does anyone know how to get facebook events to synchronise with the calendar?
Thanks.
Any thoughts from anyone? Alternatively, does anyone know if you can get the Google calendar to sync with Facebook events?
Thanks.
Sent from my portable telephone.
From Facebook you can export events and birthdays as calendar links that can then be added to your Google calendar. They will then appear as additional calendars on your phone.
I forget exactly how to do it in Facebook, but I think you go to events, click on settings, and then you have the export option. Google it for more details.
Good luck!

Thanks Zamula - your way worked! Just one point of clarification, rather than exporting, you need to right click on the link and copy the address. You can then add it as a Google calendar under Other Calendars. In Business Calendar you can then add the calendars (1 for birthdays, 1 for events) to synchronise them. So far so good, the last thing is whether the calendars auto update. I'll be able to tell that when I'm invited to a new event!

Separate Calendars

Has anyone found a good way to separate different calendars between different apps/widgets? My goal is to have my work (exchange) calendar shown in one agenda-like widget, but I don't want all those events cluttering up my regular personal (google) calendar. No matter what I try, all my calendars seem to enable themselves across any apps I use. For example, I have Jorte, and I would uncheck my work calendar so that it wouldn't show up. Then in a second app (tried the stock calendar, Agenda Widget, Business Calendar, Cal), I would make this calendar visible. But when I go back to Jorte, the work calendar is still unchecked but is showing up in the calendar and in widgets. Is there any app I'm missing that has this functionality, or is this just some kind of bug in experiencing?

[Q] Is it possible to exclude calendars in the "next event" richtext?

I have a widget where it displays the next three events on my calendar in text, but I don't want certain calendars to show up. Short of completely removing them from Google, is there any way to exclude one or two calendars?
There's an option in the Zooper widget app called calendars to show try that. If that doesn't work try using a conditional.
