I have noticed a strange behavior in the Google calendar app. When ever I add an event from my phone on a calendar that is not the default one, and later view it on the computers browser, I see a "person icon" indicating a guest. And when I enter that event I see the name of the selected calendar as the guest (technically I'm my own guest).

Is that a result of settings which I can correct? (Or is that a bug?)

I'm using Android 2.3.5

Same for me, I didn't change any of settings in the calendar app. – Erik Apr 10 '12 at 21:09
What kind of device, is it rooted, and are you using a custom ROM? Since this is an old issue, have you since updated the device to a newer version (and seen the problem stay/go away)? – ND Geek Aug 28 '12 at 19:17
I'm using a rooted Galaxy S 2, haven't updated or changed anything. The problem is still there just as described (I just tested that again) – Martin Aug 28 '12 at 20:00

I had the same problem. But it disappeared. I am not 100% sure why, but I suspect that either Android 4.0 (CM9) fixed it, or the new separately released official Calendar app on Play Store.

Thanks, unfortunately the site states that this app is not compatible with my phone... :-\ – Martin Dec 11 '12 at 5:56

Most likely because when you're adding to your phone, you're adding to a different account which is synced with your Google account. I know my phone has its own "samsung" calendar which syncs with Google's. Have a look in your calendar's settings to see if you can establish this. Also check you don't have two linked Google accounts.

This is not the case. I have given my google account + pass in the phone, and it automatically started syncing. And if I choose the right calendar from the start, this doesn't happen. – Martin Dec 17 '12 at 11:31
perhaps you are trying to add stuff to a shared calendar? - to see this go to your google calendar online and check the left side for others' calendars – Mark W Dec 18 '12 at 16:21
