Google Now Calendar Issue - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have an issue with Google Now regarding multiple Calendars. I subscribe to several calendars (colleagues on my work's Google Apps account and family members on my Gmail account). However, when Google Now creates a card for the next appointment, it grabs the next appointment from all the calendars I subscribe to.
As you can assume, I am getting constant reminders from Google Now about upcoming appointments (from work colleagues it is daunting).
I would really like to use Google Now, but unless there is a way to select which calendars Google Now pulls from, this is quite useless.
Any thoughts?

Bump...
In all seriousness, does anyone know what I am talking about or, even better, know how I can deselect certain calendars from being used within Google Now?

Afraid not- I've had a look through the settings for both Google Now and also the Calendars and I don't see anything.
I get work appointments too as my Nexus sync's to Exchange, but tbh it doesn't bother me...

I don't mind getting my work appointments...it is the ones I get for everyone else in the office that are overwhelming. Makes Google Now useless for me. I sure wish they would allow you to select what calendars to pull from.

Along similar lines...
Any idea if it is possible to have Google Now pull data from two GMail accounts? I have my primary account linked to Google Now but I usually receive all my flight, package, purchase emails in a separate account. Both gmail accounts are on my phone but I think Google Now only pulls from the primary account. Right? Is there any way to change that or get around this issue?

Any Web Service to Sync My Wife's Calendar to My Device?

OK, here's the deal. My wife won't get a smartphone. And she refuses to use Outlook or similar desktop mail/calendar. She has her one Yahoo email address and is happy with it. Period. She keeps dates on a calendar in the kitchen.
I sync OTA with exchange through my office for all work related appointments. I then cable sync at home to add my personal calendar items. Is there an online calendar through Yahoo, Google or similar that is simple for my wife to use and would allow me to sync my wife's calendar to my phone as well?

Google Calendar would probably be your best option to bridge this gap for you
It's crazy simple for her to use (and for you to setup for her), and has quite a few sync options, including windows mobile...info on how that would work on your end are HERE.
Thanks for the Google info and especially the link. It's cool to see how people on xda go the extra mile to help each other. After reading your Google link I think I have realized that the limitation may be with Active Sync. It looks as if under the 'Configure Server' settings in ActiveSync there is only the optioj to configure one push account. Since I am hooked into my exchange server at work I don't see a way to also add the Gmail server settings as well.

That is correct (as far as I know), you can't setup GCal and Outlook to both sync to your phone's calendar separately.
However, what I was thinking of (and didn't do a good job of pointing you to...) is that you can setup GCal to sync to your outlook calendar on the desktop side, then when you sync to your outlook, whatever your wife has added to her calendar will be there as well.
Step-by-step HERE. Basically, you'd sync her google calendar to your desktop outlook at work, which would then update that on the exchange server. Whenever you synced with that, locally or remotely, you should get the stuff from her calendar as well. You can setup the GCal-outlook sync to be one-way only, so she doesn't get all your work stuff added to her own calendar.
Let me know if that would work for you...I don't really know of any other options for a simple calendar for her to be ok with, that will get her appts onto your phone...other than maybe just using opera to view the web version of her calendar..??
You can sync multiple accounts, multiple calendars to each account, etc, each winding up in their own individual category with ActiveGCSync.
It uses Google's API directly, so no activesync etc.. It can sync calendar and contacts, but honestly syncing contacts takes forever. Syncing the calendar could take 1-2 minutes depending upon how much change there is, but IMO not too big a deal for the flexibility.
I demand having each calendar in its own category so it shows in different colors and PhoneAlarm acts differently on it.. Am In in a work meeting? PhoneAlarm lowers all volume. Personal event's show up in a different color, etc..

Birthday reminders in the calendar

I must say that I love my Desire (have had it for about a week), except for some small kinks and I'm not the big fan of the HTC Sense lock-screen (I don't like the vertical "handle", I would much prefer the default Android one.. [any tips to get it is welcome]).
But there is one thing that annoys me, and I don't understand why they didn't implement. And that is birthday "reminders" in the calendar..
I like the HTC Calendar and I "love" the integration between Google Contacts (& Calendar), the phone and Facebook... For me (as a developer) it couldn't be much more work to integrate that into that calendar as well (the data is already there, you just have to show it [more or less..]).
Anybody know if there's a way to "fix" this (a setting I've missed) or a better calendar app that can handle this?
I know that you can include birthday info in your Google Calender from your Google contacts, but that's not "good enough". For one thing, I don't have all my friends (that I have on Facebook) in my Google Contacts and I have no intention to add them to it (or go through them and add their birthdays..)
I'm glad for any input..
All the best to you..

You have to do it via Google.
First you have to sync your contacts with your Google contacts. The birthday and anniversary details will be carried up to your Google contacts from your phone.
Then switch to your Google calendar. On the left hand side in the Other calendars section, click "Add", select "Browse Interesting Calendars" and click the "More" tab. From the displayed list click the "subscribe" link against "Contacts' birthdays and events."
This adds your contacts' birthdays to your Google Calendar, which when sync'd with your phone will appear on you phone's calendar.
I admit this is not straightforward and I would have liked to have seen the phone do this by itself.
And what can we do with the contacts stored on the phone and no as a gmail contact?
Thanks!

Wonder if someone could help me with this. I had this all setup and it showed my birthdays fine.
Then I added a couple more birthdays to contacts and they didnt show even after syncing rebooting an taking off the calendar and putting it back on.
Now I cannot at all get the calendar to show ANY birthdays. Ive got it all set up right, and i;ve syncd. They show on the google calendar on the laptop here, it shows all tasks and birthdays, however the calendar on the phone doesnt show anything other than uk holidays. Ive messed with every setting possible...HELP!

On your phone you have three types of contacts: SIM contacts, Phone contacts and Google. Obviously, SIM contacts reside on your SIM card; Phone contacts in the phone and Google contacts on Google Mail.
As you have pointed out only Google contacts will synchronize with your Google Mail account. But all is not lost. You won't have to type in all your contact details again because you can link contacts together in the phone.
What you do is to create Google contacts that duplicate each of your phone contacts. Just create each Google contact on your phone with the same name as each existing phone contact. You do not need to include any details, just create them as empty contacts. Once you've done this, they will appear as two separate contacts in the contact list.
Now the magic. For each person, edit either one of their two contacts. You will see that you can link each contact with another contact. If you've used the same name for your Phone and Google contacts it will already be suggesting that these two can be linked together. So link them.
Now you will find your two linked contacts now appear as one in your contact list. And these linked contacts will now synchronize with your Google Mail account contacts and carry all the details from your original Phone contact with them.
Hope this helps.

I had this too. Only birthdays that were assigned to contacts at the time I created the calendar online show now.
I'm going to try and delete that calendar and re-create it but something is definitely wrong when you subsequently add birthdays after making that calendar.
Right, one thing I've found is that the birthdays I've added on the phone have NOT made their way back into Google's cloud. I've re-entered them in GMail online and re-created the calendar to show birthdays but they still aren't showing, not online and not in my phone!
Right, just re-added the calendar again online and it's now showing in the web calendar. After a refresh of the calendar on the phone, it's now showing there too.
So numerous bugs. If you want to see your birthdays, the process seems to be:
1) Enter them all online in your Gmail contacts
2) Delete then recreate your "friends birthdays" calendar in Google Calendar online
3) Refresh your phone
If you add any new birthdays, you'll need to do this all again. Pretty poor

Well, it's certainly sub-optimal. I'd say the main bug is the phone not sending birthdays entered on it back to Google. The non-refreshing calendar thing I can kind of understand. I guess the additional calendars are assumed to be static (like UK Public holidays etc). Just a guess. I'd heard about the birthday syncing bug on another android phone, kinda hoped it would be sorted on the Desire.

For me it takes about 12-18 hour until birthdays are synched with my calendar, but only when i refresh the calendar manually (menu -> more -> refresh)
Try to add a birthday @ google contacts, wait 24 hours, refresh the calendar.
The only way it works for me.
When i add a birthday to a contact (when creating the contact), the contact disappers lol.
@meson1: I thank you for your post, and I guess it could be helpsome for someone but as I said in the original post. I know that you can do that, bit I don't want that.. Don't want to go through and manually add a hundred people to my Google contacts.. First there are already too many posts in there, second: too much work for too litle result and för something that more or less should be given..
I will check out that app. But I'm still looking för a good solution to this problem.. (anybody know if there's än API för the calendar?)

I'm afraid I don't know a way to do this for all your contacts enmasse. My experience with this stuff is limited. I looked into all this shortly after I got my Desire not having had any experience of Google Mail or Android before. After some experimentation that is what I have found.
I do agree that this part of the functionality is extremely lacking and it seems from other peoples' posts that it is also extremely buggy too. I do not like having to go via Google to do this stuff. I think this stuff should be integrated into the phone by itself and then linking to Google and anything else should be an extra.
It's all the more annoying that it's an obvious function to include, but that no-one has connected the dots. Or at least connected them in a technically competant fashion.
If I knew how, I'd knock up a really simple app to let you sync birthdays and anniversaries in the contacts to the calendar. As it is I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Android SDK and Java let alone doing anything practical.
Perhaps there's someone out there that is further up the Android Development learning curve that can put something together.
If I had the time (and not already too many projects to work with) I could perhaps put something together (If I knew there was some nice APIs)...
But I tried eboBirthday and it works ok.. (Far from ultimate and I can't even call it "good"..). First it downloaded all the birthdays from Facebook (and displays it in a extremely plain interface). But I can't say that it went smooth.. It was a bit "buggy" and I got an error at the end (even if it seemed to have downloaded all the info fine).
Then by using eboBirthday Contact Sync (also free in the market) that match my Google Contacts with my Facebook contacts and updated them..
And when I looked at my Google Calendar, the info was already there (no need to remove the Contacts birthdays calendar etc).
And then I just synced my calendar in the phone and now, at least, got all the birthdays for my Google Contacts in my calendar (plus reminders from eboBirthday).

[Q] How many want the ability to DISABLE contact sync from main Live account?

Hey
I was just wondering how many of you would like the ability to disable contact and calendar syncing from your main Windows Live account linked to your phone? When I first realized this was the case I immediately hard-reset my phone and made a new Windows Live account just for the phone so I would not have my 300 Live Messenger contacts in my People Hub however, this is not the case for everyone, and this solution has disabled my ability to find my phone from the internet if it is ever lost or stolen.
The point of this thread is sheer curiosity as too how many xda-dev members are affected by this poor choice of implementation.
What is your make-shift solution?
I read so much about all these extra contacts from Facebook e.a., but really don't experience it as a problem whatsoever. I have some 600+ contacts on Exchange, don't know how many on Facebook, and my Windows Live account pulls data from several sources including LinkedIn, totalling some 700.
I have yet to have a single instance where it's a problem. I mean, scrolling through the contact list would certainly be a pain, but there's search.
Before I even got a WP7 phone, I read that there wa sno way to disable contact sync from your Windows Live account so I just created a new one and using that for the time being. It would be nice to have the option to actually disable that part because I wouldn't mind using my normal Live account which is also linked up to my Xbox account, as I don't believe you can change the email on them?
I wish there was an option to do this
It doesn't bother at all. On the contrary that was the opportunity to get rid of all the rubbish contacts I had on Live Messenger and those that I kept I gave their proper ID, not some random childish name they've been using on Messenger. My contacts list actually looks like an adult list now.
There's no way I would create a new Live ID just for that reason as I've been using it for too many years and it's tied to my Xbox and Zune accounts.
I'm fine with the way it is.
By the way I cleaned up my Facebook contacts the same way. No points having hundreds of contacts I don't care about or barely know. My Facebook friends are actual friends and it's much better like that.

I think that the implementation is great. With calendar and contacts everything gets synced and you can always set the facebook account to only show data for those in your phone or live account.
About the Facebook settings, its great to have it set like I mentioned above and being able to search them at the same time even without them showing on the All section in the contact list.
I took he same approach as you and went to clean both my Live and Facebook accounts. I have everything synced and working flawlessly for my contacts.
I did the same as others and after realizing how many useless contacts I had in Live I just deleted a bunch. However, that should absolutely not be what Microsoft makes you do if you want to manage your Live contacts with WP7.
I really wish they just gave the same filtering option that Facebook's sync provides. Now I still have some 100 people extra that I want to keep but don't want to see on my phone that I am stuck with.
I assume they do this because of the way email works--if you hid the contacts in the People Hub then you may not be able to email those people using your phone.

yea but answer this, how many times have you emailed a friend for a NON-BUSINESS related subject as opposed to IM'ing them or posting on their facebook wall/inbox.
email is dead.
ME!! ME!!!
I don't want to sync ANYTHING from the live account but xbox live stuff and email. I don't want contacts, calendar, etc, etc.
I have an exchange account for that.
It's annoying to see two calendars listed even though I only use the one in my exchange account. It's also useless for me the photos, feeds, etc, etc.
I wish that every single account would let me pick what I actually want to sync.

Calendars, iCal subscriptions, and WP7

Have been delving into the murky world of online calendars a fair bit recently.
I've discovered that there are lots of cool online calendar services, and have availed myself of some...
Facebook - you can export all your facebook events as an iCal and then subscribe to it in Hotmail and/or Outlook
Tripit - the travel website that creates itineraries for you automatically when you forward them your booking confirmation emails. It can also publish the itineraries as iCals to add to your Hotmail / Outlook.
Icalshare.com - has loads of iCals, such as moon phases etc.
The great thing about these iCals is Hotmail/Outlook synchronizes with them, so, for instance, if you attend a new facebook event, it will automatically appear in your calendar without you having to do anything.
Herein lies the issue, though. When you add your hotmail calendar or your google calendar to your WP7 device, you only get the default calendar, i.e. the one you manually add your own events to. Your Tripit, Facebook, Birthdays, Holidays, Moon Phases and any other calendar feeds in hotmail or Gmail will NOT sync to your phone.
I've been trying to find a service that can aggregate all your calendars into one, so that you can set up WP7 to sync it, but with no luck thus far.
I'm hopeful that WP7 will soon be able to sync multiple calendars from one hotmail/gmail account, which would solve all my problems.
But until then, there doesn't seem to be a workaround, other than manually copying all the calendar entries over from the feeds in Outlook into your hotmail calendar, which is a pain. It's OK to do a once-per-year copy for holidays, moon phases etc., but things like Facebook Events and Tripit journeys update far more often.
There is a site called mashical.com which does indeed aggregate all your calendar feeds into one, but how on Earth do you get that onto your phone?
Maybe someone needs to write an App to present an alternative Calendar on your phone, together with a live tile, that can show your mashed icals.
food for thought eh?
I definitely agree. I've read of people using separate calendars with multiple hotmail accounts to sync but I don't want to have to log in to 4 accounts to sync my calendars.
In the meantime.. I had to manually add all my calendar events to one Google calendar until resolved, which is a pain.
Hoping for a fix also or an improved 3rd party calendar app.

Thing is, multiple Windows Live accounts doesn't work, as you cannot make a subscribed calendar the "primary" calendar for a windows live account, and it's only the primary calendar that gets synced.

It won't be the primary calendar. However, if you have 3 different hotmail accounts, (assuming a calendar with seperate events in for each account) you can add all accounts to your phone and chose the option to sync each individual calendar..All the events would show under the one calendar in your wp7
For example, I added 1 hotmail account, 1 live account, 1 google account. Each Account has it's own calendar with its own data in it. In my wp7...all the events from all the calendars sync to the one wp7 calendar. Crude method but it works.
On you wp7, it will simple show as Live Account 1, Live Account 2, etc. regardless if it was Hotmail or Live. If I misunderstood your reply, I appologize in advance.
On google calendar, you can import a ical or excel calendar file into your main calendar and merge them.

Yes but it's a one-off import - any changes to the subscribed calendar do not make it into your main google calendar. So if you get a new Facebook event through, you would have to manually add it to your main calendar, which kinda defeats the point of icals - it's supposed to be an automated service.

Hi, I had the same problem. If you create an alternate Google calendar account there is a solution. Export your secondary calendar (school or work or whatever) and import it into youralternate Google account. Then via the alternate Google account, share that calendar with your main google account.
Add the alternate Google account to your wp7 phone and set to sync only calendar. Now your phone will have multiple calendars, and you only need to access your main Google account since the calendars are shared. I have 3 calendars working on my hd7.

This has already been suggested. The import is a one-off, so updates to the ical DO NOT go through into the primary google calendar. So new Facebook events, for example, would not get imported from the facebook ical into google. That's why it's a no-go, sadly. We need a way of integrating icals without having to do a manual one-off import. Importing is OK for icals that don't change (such as moon phases) but for dynamic icals like facebook and tripit, it's pretty much useless.
Hey Jim how about this?
Subscribe on outlook
download Google calendar sync
and set that calendar to sync every once in a while.
i'm pretty sure that's how i've set it up...it's been a while!
let me know how that goes
i'm not sure i understand the problem, but:
i have 4-5 gmail accounts, only sync one with my phone. the wife, the family, and a few friends subscribe to this calendar. they also share THEIR gmail calendars with me. then there are some additional iCal's i subscribe (share) to, and it's fairly simple. After someone updates an event, it shows up. I'm assuming it's like a push email ? Dunno, got me.
Maybe it's trying to use the different clients that's causing the problems ?

I can subscribe to calendars in outlook no problem, an dthey do sync automatically. Also, if I subscribe to calendars in Hotmail, they sync back to outlook, again no problem. The problem is getting those calendars onto the phone.

So you subscribe to icals in google, and you managed to get them to show up on your WP7 device? How did you do that? I can get the primary calendar from a google account to show up on my phone, but not subscribed icals.

You can't, it has no trial mode.

Google calandar not fully integrated?

I have another calendar added to my Google Calendar by the name of "JDL". On my android phone whenever there's an appointment in JDL the phone automatically syncs it and I can see them.
On WP7 however no JDL appointments are visible and only the Google ones. Any way around this?
It only supports the primary calendar for each account for now, unfortunately. This isn't just the case with Google, but with other services as well.

This is unfortunately one of the things that is keeping me from moving to a WP7 device. I need to be able to sync multiple calendars between phones and Macs.
Does anyone know if Microsoft said anything about this issue @ MIX 2011 this week in regards to the fall release?
