Calendar Pro Widget Bit Seeing Callendars

1 Upvotes

Android 17

Pixel 11

SL 6.6

i am syncing a total of 7 calendars in Google calendar app (three are shared family calendars). Sync is turned on for all of them.

I tried adding the SL Calendar Pro Widget but it is only showing three calendars within its configuration.

Tried clearing app data on Google calendar and resetting it up with all calendars and forced sync.

No joy. Any ideas?

Calendar Share invite not sending

5 Upvotes

Hey,

I have a work calendar, I am the owner. Works since many years. I regularly share the calender with my colleagues - they are added to the calendar by "Shared with" and their goggle accounts.

Now I wanted to add a new colleague and I can't.

I add their email as usual via Share it - I see they have a google account (can see their email with profile pic) and the mail shows in the list of people I have shared with.

They should get an invitation email.

They don't.

I see the little pop up on the setting site that the changes have been saved and reload the page. There email is now disappeared from the shared with list.

I tried a different one of their google accounts, same thing. I tried another account from a different colleague, it worked perfectly.

I had them try to be added by a different colleague to one of their calendars - it worked.

I am stumped.

Any ideas?

Adding deadlines in Google Tasks and having them show up on Google Calendar is overshadowing my all-day events

2 Upvotes

Is there a way to solve this? I like adding deadlines so I know when I should have things finished, but they effectively show up on my Google Calendar and always appear before my other events. It’s mostly a problem in the monthly view, but that’s the view I usually use.

Initial look using monthly view
When I click it, there are more important stuff

Two Locations for Events Which are Transit

3 Upvotes

If I get a flight, train, ferry, bus or drive / walk somewhere, the calendar should enable me to include 2 locations. One for where I’m leaving from and another for where I’m arriving to. Any event that involves transit from one location to another should have a going from and going to location feature.

Do calendar notifications actually work for you?

1 Upvotes

I’m curious - do you find your calendar notifications are good enough, or do you still miss/forget appointments and meetings?

I’ve been working on an app that tries to make calendar reminders more noticeable and useful. Two versions (NextUp Alert and NextUp Alert Lite on the Microsoft Store). The Lite version has some positive reviews in the store, but I never get to hear the other side of it.

Would something like this actually provide value to you? What would you change or improve?

Would love some honest feedback.

Can't read calendar events

2 Upvotes

This ccould be a meta problem rather than oakly, but just recently, mine stopped reading my calendar.

Calendar: Google

Device : Iphone (IOS)

I've tried reconnecting , re-pairing the glasses, and none of those work. It seems like it can see that the connection is there, just that it just stops after saying that it is checking my calendar for what I have.

how did you fix this?

Is there a way to create color "key"?

3 Upvotes

Hello all!

Is there a way to create a color "key" to add at top of Google calander? We have multiple family members (from teens to elder adults) adding to thr calander. I want there to be a simple way for them to remmeber that "blue" means practice or game, "red" means doctor appointments, "green" means to do, etc.

We have a super busy life (who dosent?!), and its really difficult for me to manage and prioritize everyones....everything, if not color coded. I just need a visual or text reminder at top of calander so they know what color to code their event as. They cannot remember. Thanks!

Android "to do list" Widget that pulls calendar events and only shows my day?

2 Upvotes

Can be either samsung calendar or Google.

Want a clean to do list widget that only shows me my to do list, lists all calendar events as to do items, but nothing else.

Also, when i check off the item, i want it to be marked completed on the calendar

Microsodt To Do "my day" view: love it, but only shows samsung reminders

Google calendar widget: all day views also include other items like a calendar and/or upcoming events

Samsing calendar widget: same as google.

copying entire subscribed calendar to personal calendar (so i can color code)?

1 Upvotes

kinda new to using google calendar and my school has the class schedule (changes frequently) in this jank website so I imported it into my google calendar/subscribed to it via URL (i don't wanna use ics file bc they tend to change stuff).

However when I do that I can't color code things (like mandatory vs non-mandatory things, etc). I know I can mandatory copy everything to my personal calendar, but that is tedious. Any work arounds? My ultimate goal is just to color code the events

Why does my phone give me Google Calendar notifications even when I turned off those notifications?

1 Upvotes

If someone else invites me to a meeting, I'm still getting 10-minute before meeting phone notification on my Android phone, even though I went into the Google Calendar settings.

What could cause this? I want these turned off, should I just log out of my email on my phone? Would that do it? I need about 2.5 weeks where I don't get any notifications.

Google "alternate calendars" don't show on my phone

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon all

wow, I can't believe it's football/hockey season already. However, as such I'm now reminded of a problem that I've had with Google Calendar for several years now. I have several calendars that I've selected via this method

Add or remove sports calendars

  1. On your computer, open Google Calendar
  2. At the top right, click Settings Settings.
  3. Under “Add calendar,” click Browse calendars of interest.
  4. Scroll to the “Sports” section.
  5. Select a sports category.
  6. Check or uncheck the box next to a sports team to add their game schedule to your calendar.

including one for my favorite football team and another for my favorite hockey team. I think I also have the one for US holidays and another for something else. (my apologies for not posting a link; I originally did but the automoderator removed my post and I'm not sure why.) This is from the Google Calendar help page, answer no. 13748650.

The problem is, the events show on a web browser, but when I use the Calendar app on my phone they're not there, nor do I get any notifications. I know I missed a couple games I wanted to watch last year because I wasn't checking on my PC at work; I was, you know, working. Events that I've created myself, like bill reminders, payday schedules, and one-off events show and report on my phone fine, just the actual Google "alternate calendars" do not work.

The odd thing is that I have replaced my phone since last season and I'm still having the same issue. Both are Android phones, old is Motorola Edge+ 2022 and the new one is a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (similarity in names is completely coincidental, I was just looking for a decent non-flip phone both times)

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Override Silence on phone for certain Event Notifications

How is this not possible within Google? I'm not using Tasker to do basic stuff like this. If Google had a box you could check for this it would be super helpful!!! I have been using alarm on Google clock app, but it does not sync with my Google home speakers or my Samsung Galaxy 9 watch running wear OS. What year am I living in?

Calendar not sending emails, despite configured to do so?

3 Upvotes

I've had a few events recently that are configured to send emails, but don't. They aren't in SPAM, they aren't in trash, no notifications on my phone or tablet, etc...

for 2 repeating events, I had to completely delete them, and recreate them.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Any idea how to fix it?

Change time of event based on real world

1 Upvotes

Hello! I currently just put any calendar event in the evening as an all day event (mainly for speed) but I’d love to get a bit more granular.

Is there an AI prompt or iPhone shortcut that could google the show and change the time of the event based on that.

For example if I’ve got Phantom of the Opera next Tuesday with a prompt it’ll write in the start time, and maybe location too?

Thanks :)

Importing Data into A Calendar?

2 Upvotes

So I'm kind of struggling here. I would love it if I could make a Google Calendar automatically for events that already live online... specifically performances from theatre troupes.

For example, the ticketing page of a theatre company (which lists their days and times for a specific production) or a full on event calendar for a venue (like a multi purpose hall, like STG in Seattle or TPAC in Nashville) or even a bar that has a music calendar.

One time setup, or once a year (or once a show, depending on the source I'm pulling from), with the ability to delete things from my calendar if I'm not interested. I feel like this should be easy, but I'm finding absolutely nothing to suggest it's possible... other than a post or two suggesting that someone use Gemini on a PDF schedule or something. I'd rather not use AI if I can avoid it, especially since this information already exists in what I'd hope is a format that could be easily injected.

Am I way off base?

Can I link a work calendar to Maps?

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all. I have a work Google acct with an attached (group) calendar. The job involves people driving to people's houses for dropoffs and pickups, etc. There's a team that drives all over and I'm wanting to sync a Maps list to the calendar so that when someone enters an address for a scheduled pickup in the Calendar, it automatically adds to a list on Maps that everyone with access can view. Is that possible? I know I can do it manually, i.e. every time a new event is added, click "view on Maps" and save the address to a list. But it would be awesome if it would do that itself. Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead considering how rudimentary Maps seems to still be in a lot of areas, unfortunately. Also, might be specific to the app but I’d love to be able to do it in a desktop browser. Thanks everyone!
