please fix this soon

Please somebody read this and fix soon.  The inability of the default calendar on
one's phone to sync with their google calendar makes the possibility of time
productivity IMPOSSIBLE!  How much sense does it make to write something in an agenda
TWICE?

This feature of not being able to sync my calendar with my online one has made
scheduling problems for me. Not only that I got the android phone because it is a
google phone basically. I thought getting this phone would allow me to connect to my
gmail and all the other services that google has unique to other phones. So street
view gps and so on. Its kind of upsetting to know that the Iphone and Blackberry
which don't run on googles android system get bettter treament than the phones they "
call their own".

Hey, guys, how about we knock it off with the comments about how upset we are?  These
comments are meant to be helpful to a developer.  If you have relevant details, by
all means, post them.  If you're just upset because "I want it NOW!", then keep it to
yourself.  I get enough emails as is, and I don't need to hear your whining.

To the devs: thanks for the wonderful product.  Sorry I don't have any
development-relevant feedback.  Keep up the great work!

Sorry. I just felt Like I had to have my say. I never knew the volume of the comments specially since there was
only 2 before me.  I dont know how to help the developer but maybe expressed feelings in volumes will get
attention on such a basic issue. It just looks bad if Iphone users and blackberry users get this over us.

hi,  i too have been struggling to get a smooth sync on my htc hero in the uk.
my calendar events were being duplicated and i could not upload any calendar events
from my phone, either from the htc calendar or from gmail on the webbrowser on the
phone.
i seem to have it now, but here are some things i tried.  i'm not sure what worked!
firstly, i rang orange (my phone is not locked to orange, but my monthly contract is
with them) and asked them to lift my adult content screening on my account.  (this
idea came from some forum post somewhere saying that it might help.  i didn't see any
improvement, though.  
i rang orange tech support. they were aware of the issue and said i had to hard reset
the device, then create a NEW gmail account on start up, then having done that, i
could link my usual google account to my phone and it would pick it up from there.  i
did all of that .. still the same problem.
finally, i did another hard reset, went into the htc calendar settings and unticked
'connnect to outlook'  and also 'calendar', just leaving it linked ot my google
calendars.
it worked!!!  
however, i weakened when, after a few uses, it prompted me to install google gears i
guess.  just got a message saying that i could speed up the program if i added what i
assume to be gears..  as soon as i did this, then the old problem returned.   i have
gone back into programme management and have forced closure of google apps.  seems to
be working fine now, on either the internet on my phone or on the htc calendar.  
wooo hooo!

1. Needs the ability to set the default calendar.
2. Needs the abitly to disable My Calendar just like you can the other calendars.

Please fix soon.  I think this is rather important if android is trying to make
inroads in the business community.

I have transitioned to Sense UI (what they have on the HTC Hero) on my Magic/G2, and
that allows you to select which calendar you want to use by default. It's a huge
improvement over the stock Android 1.5 that came on my phone. Does anybody know if
Android 1.6 or 2.0 has this functionality?

I'd like an option to disable the calendar altogether such that it doesnt use memory
at all..My Droid has a lot of memory allocated to the google calendaer and
the "corporate Calendar" app.  I'd like to get rid of both so i can have the memory
for other things...

It started working a few days ago. Google must have fixed it or changed something.
Both my Eris and Lightning (Thunderbird plug-in) both sync from either source.

The calender works now!!!! make sure you update your phone then follow these
instructions

It fully works now. If you have a rogers phone, yes it works for you too.

it's working!

Please lads, stay ON TOPIC! This issue was specifically opened for a "Possibility to
change default calendar".

For irrelevant issues please open another case!

Yes this is quite frustrating as I enter events in my calender by error and dont get
sync on PC

I have the same problem.  Twice I've had to copy all of my appointments (through my PC) onto the
google calander and then clear the data and resync the phone.  Only now did I realize that I have to
change the calander from My Calander to my Named Calander for each new entry.  How has this not
been fixed yet?
Why would I want anything other than my Google calander to be the default?
Please fix!

From the number of comments I've read about problems with sync and google android calendar, it would seem that this is the cause. People think it's not syncing because the android app is set to use the internal non-syncing calendar rather than the google one.

It is a 'must have' to be able to change your default calendar.
Our corporate users use their smartphone to mainly sync with our exchagne environment.
When they create a calendar entry...it should be therefore an Exchange Calendar entry. Having the user to explicitly pick each time the exchange calendar when they create a new appointment is asking for problems !

'must have'

I agree my previous speaker. It is frustrating that Android promote as a business mobile device and that it is not possible to change the default calendar to Exchange or to Gmail Calendar?
I hope google and here the developers take care as soon as possible about this bug.

Amazing that the problem has not been resolved since it as initiated in September of 2009 almost 11 months.  This change should be a simple for developers and I would have thought there would have been some changes in firmware since then.  I am currently running 2.1-update1 and am having the identical issue of 'my calendar'being set as the default.

I know that there is going to be a new firmware 2.2 release sometime this summer.  Please either remove the 'my calendar' by defult, or at least give us the option to delete it or any other unwanted calendars that sync through google/calendars or other.  

This seems to be a no brainer.  I hope this catches someones eye at google soon. this kind of an oversight and lengthy delay in resolution could really imply some negatives about google.  Simple fix = happy customers.

I'm disappointed that I have to point out AGAIN that these comments are not for tirades about how upset you are that this bug exists.  These are for comments relevant to the developers about what the bug is, and how to reproduce it.

Given that Android is open-source, why don't you make yourselves useful?  Here's the relevant source code: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Calendar.git;a=summary

Have you fixed it yet?  No?  Then stop spamming my inbox.  The bug report has been filed and your whining isn't helping.

relevant information regarding bug:
* Bug found in google calendars firmware version 1.5 cupcake.
* Bug still found in google calendars firmware version 2.1 !
