I have multiple accounts on my phone that are linked through the google family feature. Due to this, they all have the calendar named "Family" on them. I have tried clearing the cache on the calendar apps and zooper, and I have tried un-syncing the calendars from my phone. I'm still seeing the event in triplicate.
Is there anyway to set up zooper to where only one account for calendars is shown? Or would it just be easier to create a new calendar on my main account, not named "Family", to where I have the events saved?
Due to being a new user I cannot post links for the image, and I do not see a way to upload the screen shot.
Edit/update: I managed to find a work around to where I logged into the other accounts on my computer and chose to hide the calendar labeled "Family".

I synced my google calendar successfully weeks ago. Now i added some public calendars (e.g. world cup) for google calendar. It shows me all the calendars i am using on the pc.
but when i sync it with my desire, it doesn't refresh correctly the list of the calendar i am using right now (e.g. i can't see the world cup calendar).
what can i do..?
is there a way to wipe the old entries on my mobile to do a new and full sync..?
thx for the help!
no idea..? ;(
If you look at the Calendar section in the "Flaws & Annoyances" thread at the top of the listings (it's a sticky), you'll see it's a known issue with some Google calendars.
I posted a workaround here.

thank u for ur reply.
i add the calendar in ur link and got a new calendar in google. it opens the google calendar in the browser (not the phone calendar).
but it is still the same, it doesnt show it in my calendar on my desire. it still doesnt sync the calendar list..
hmm...
I had the same - Clearing all caches and data relating to Calendars and calendar storage etc sorted it for me. Takes a while to come back though.

I used to have that working myself but then timezones on events were all messed up so I was forced to find another way.
So what I did was a bit of an end-around that uses your Google account's calendar. If you don't want to sync to Google calendar then this won't work.
If you do, go to your Facebook Events page. There's a link called "Export". That will pop up a message with a webcal://... link. Copy that link to your clipboard.
Then go into your Google calendar using a computer browser (sign in to the account you sync to your phone). Click the little dropdown triangle next to the "Other calendars" section on the left-hand sidebar and choose "Add by URL". Paste the URL that you copied from Facebook into the box and click "Add Calendar".
Now your Facebook events will be in your Google calendar.
If you go to Settings for the Calendar on your phone and select the "Calendars" option, you can pick and choose which of the Google calendars you want to sync. Each will show up as a separate calendar.
If you are obsessive about wishing people a happy birthday, you can also go to the "Birthdays" link under Events on Facebook and follow the same method to export a calendar of all of your Friends' birthdays.

I forgot about this thread lol. After removing all my synced accounts and restoring them manually I got my calendar back up. I guess restoring synced accounts from titanium doesn't do much of a good job.. But thanks for the info bcuz I didn't know I could export a calendar from FB!

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.

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!
The native calendar and one I downloaded called Calendar seem to be in sync with each other regardless of how I set them. I set the native one to my sync with gmail calendar and the new one has a folder/calendar I created. No matter which account I select, the other calendar changes to it. I can't use them as two different calendars. Hope that was clear enough! Any thoughts?

I can't help you directly but have you tried Agenda Widget Plus? It lets you choose which calendars to use (e.g. exchange or google calendars). It's not really a calendar app but has nice widget options
Android basically collapses all calendars into a single view. Depending on the app or widget, you can select which calendars to view, as well as to which calendar a new entry should be saved. The data is kept within each calendar, so if you delete one the other calendars will stay. If you use Outlook, its very much like the overlay view.
Hope that helps clear the confusion.

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?
