[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thegios:
Hi,

sorry to bring this up again, but I am trying to figure out how calendars on this device work, as I seem to have a lot more calendars than I have on my galaxy nexus phone.

--

Ok, let's start from the source: GOOGLE CALENDAR.

I have 5 calendars on google.com/calendars:

- 3 Personal Calendars: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos

- 1 Tasks Calendar (this being the usual Google Tasks)

- 1 Other Calendar: Contacts' Birthdays and Events (this being the usual Google Birthdays)

--

Now on my Galaxy nexus phone, where I have the official Google Calendar app installed.

Here I can sync 4 calendars:

- 3 personal calendars: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos

- 1 Other calendar: Contacts' Birthdays and Events

Of course there is no Tasks Calendar, as this cannot be synced with Google Calendar App (stupid I know) but for this I am using GTasks.

The same applies for calendars to display: all the calendars I can sync I can also display.

Good, all is fine.

--

Now on my Note 10.1 where I use s-planner for calendars and GTasks for Google Tasks.

Here things start getting complicated...

-

First of all, if I go under "Settings" then "Sync Settings" and then "Sync Events/Actvities" I get a pop up labeled "Add account" where I see a green light next to: Samsung Account, Facebook, Google (screen shot attached "add account").

What the hell is this? I understand this is where I can choose which accounts I can sync with s-note, right? So then why can I only select new one and I cannot deselct let's say Facebook? And why is Facebook there? It is not there on my phone, why is here on the tablet?

-

Second, still under "Settings" I see two voices: one labeled with my Gmail address (giovanni.stoto@gmail.com) and one labeled with my name (Giovanni Stoto).

If I click on each one, I see some calendars I can sync, in the specific (see attached screen shots "sync gmail calendars" and "sync gs calendars"):

-a- giovanni.stoto@gmail.com: Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos, Contacts' Birthdays and Events, Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities

-b- Giovanni Stoto: Facebook

Now I guess Facebook is there because it is also there at point one above. fine, I can live with this, i simply don't sync it.

What about the two extra Samsung calendars (Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities)? Are these created when I create a Samsung account? Is the only way to get rid of these two samsung calendars to remove the samsung account? And if I remove the samsung account, do I lose anything? Please note that the samsung calendars are showing my gmail address, but that's because I have used this address to register with samsung. I give for granted that if I select to sync these calendars, then they will be synced with samsung website, not with gmail, so sort of useless.

-

Third, let's go under "Settings" then "Visualization Settings" and then "Calendars".

here I get a list of calendars that I can display. Well, yes but... I get a lot more than I can sync!!!!!! (see attached screen shot "view calendars")

Besides having my google calendars (Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos, Contacts' Birthdays and Events), my samsung calendars (Samsung Calendar and Samsung Tasks_Activities) and my facebbok calendar (Facebook), I also have "Personal Calendar" and "Personal Activities" and "Contac's Birthdays".

So where do the 3 new personal calendars are coming from? I presume they are local calendars built-in in s-planner. And why I cannot deselect "Personal Birthdays"?

--

Fourth, let's add a new event in s-planner. (see attached screen shot "add event calendars")

When i choose in which calendar to add the event, guess what?! I get a list of ONLY 5 calendars: the 3 Personal google calendars (Personal Appointments, Personal Anniversaries, Personal ToDos), the Samsung Calendar and the Personal Calendar.

Ok this makes sense but... If I am chosing not to sync and not to show Samsung calendars and Personal; calendars, why are they showing here? Any way not to have them in the list?

--

Fifth and last, let's add an activity in s-planner. (see attached screen shot "add activity calendars")

When selecting the calendar here I expect at this point to have 2 calendars: Samsung Tasks_Activities and Personal Activities.

Indeed I do, even if the Samsung Tasks_Activities is labeled with my gmail address (maybe a bug).

I also understand (and prove me wrong if) that Samsung Tasks_Activities are synced with samsung account only and cannot be synced with Google Tasks.

----------

I believe there is no way to ge rid of calendars from Samsung, Personal (local) and Facebook.

I managed to choose only the google calendars for sync and display, but I would also like to get rid of samsung calendar and personal (local) calendar from the list of calendars when adding a new event, but I understand thgis is either a bug or is not possible.

Well anyone that can clarify or help or just put his own 2 cent, is welcome.
