My wife and I have been doing something like this for years.
We each have our own separate Google accounts (separate contacts, Gmail, etc.)
We've also done this with our calendars:
We each have our own default Google Calendar and have shared read-access to the other.
We've also created several shared calendars (Household, Local Events, plus a calendar ...

"Alert" will cause a new window with the event details (or a list of events with their info, if more than one) to pop up on top of the active one and take focus when the reminder occurs. It also puts a notification icon in your status bar tray. The "status bar notification" setting causes the status bar icon to appear but doesn't automatically bring up the ...

Yes you can, you will need to create a different "calendar" (probably "tag" would be a better name, but that's Google's terms for it).
Creating a Calendar (do this from the Desktop, I didn't found a way to do it from Android's Calendar app; do anyone know?):
Go to http://www.google.com/calendar.
Look for the "My calendars" box on the left, click on "Add"

I had similar problem. I had to clear calendar cache - than re-sync worked for me.
The cache clear method is very similar like in this answer, but I clear the official Calendar storage:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications. In the top of the screen select All. Scrool down to Calendar Storage, then open it, tap to Clear cache button.

Yes you can add the eMail adress from your GApps account via
Settings > Accounts & Synchronisation > Add Account
Then enter your credentials and you can access your accounts eMail, contacts and calendar without automatically sharing information from your private calendar with your colleagues.
But you need to watch out which account you use creating ...

The ideal solution would probably be to try setting up a calendar on one account and then sharing it with the other account from the Google Calendar website. I know this works with things like my office's apps accounts because I can see our shared calendars on my phone, but I'm not positive if it will work with a personal Google account (I'd imagine it ...

If you go into the Calendar app and press the Menu button, then select Settings you should see an options at the top for Calendars this should show all of the individual calendars on your device that are being merged together into the Calendar displayed.
The top one is probably My Calendar then below that should be an entry for your GMail calendar, then ...

EDIT: To only sync the calendar you first have to switch off everything else:
Go to Settings -> Accounts -> YOUR Google Account
and un-check all the sync targets you don't want (Chrome, GMail, Drive, Contacts, ...)
/EDIT
Then you can take care of when to have it sync.
Generally, this is left to 3rd party apps.
You can always pick your favourite 3rd-party ...

Is this still a problem? I see birthdays from contacts in Calendar.
I add birthdays to my contacts in Gmail, and I subscribed to the "Contacts' birthdays and events" in Google Calendar:
Under "Other calendars" Add > Browse
Select "Interesting Calendars"
Select "Contacts' birthdays and events"
This gives me a calendar in Google Calendar with my contact's ...

There is an app called Holiday Alarm Disabler. I haven't tried it myself, but it has a pretty good rating at Androlib.

Llama will let you do this, and it is free (Tasker costs money). It has many of the features as Tasker and Locale, and it can even use Locale plugins. I have grown fond of this app and have set up many automated events.
To do this in Llama, you create two events and two profiles.
Profiles
Create a new profile and name it something like "No ...

You can try using iCal Import/Export. It looks like it should be able to export your calendar data. It will allow you to export your calendar(s) to iCal files. I haven't actually tried the application, so I am not sure if it uses the local calendar database on the device, or it it attempts to connect directly to google calendar.

WidgetLocker is a great lock-screen replacement that will allow you to put any widget installed on your phone on the lock-screen. You can also configure it to allow your Notification bar to be usable. The actual calendar popup I'm not sure about, but I know you'd be able to see it when it shows up in your notification bar, and from there you can open it up ...

This was reported in the Android Central forum here with a link to LifeHacker. It sounds like it will allow you to sync your Facbook calendar without the birthdays because you're exporting the events directly from Facebook. First, you may want to undo the sync that you have going on now. Hope it helps.
Quoting the post from Android Central:
just go to ...

Open up main SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > MANAGE APPLICATIONS
Press MENU > FILTER > ALL
Search for Calendar and Calendar Storage. Clear Data for both and then return to the Calendar App. Choose the Calendar(s) you want from the options within the calendar app (if you have more than the default calendar you wish to sync) and then sync.

I got it to work now. The problem was that
calendar sync appearently wasn't supported by Funambol Android client v9.0.1 (which is not the latest version, whatever their download page says)
the most recent version v10.0.3 has a bug that prevents a calendar from being created if none exists on Android v2.3 and above.
You can either wait for the next ...

I recall having this issue with some calendar not showing up. If I remember correctly it had to do with having some calendar disabled/hidden in google calendar at the time of the first sync; the calendar app would then not bother looking for other calendars.
Try going in Settings > Accounts and Sync > Auto-sync and uncheck it.
Go to google calendar on the ...

For contacts and calendar entries, move the contacts to the google cloud with google sync, then activate the android device with the same account.
Note:if you created more than one google calendar, you will need to make sure they're all selected for sync on the phone (open the calendar app, menu > more > calendars).
Not sure about notes/SMS/bookmarks, ...

As devnul3 has said, using Google for the contacts and calendar (I was using Google as an Exchange account, so I didn't have to do anything special). Just set your Android up with the same Google account.
Moving SMSs can be done with SMS Migrator, which can be found in the Android market. There's also the SPB migration tool, which looks like it can do ...

Have you considered using the Google calendar?
As far as I know you can sync the Samsung S III and the Thunderbird Lightning calendar with the Google calendar.

Too complicated. There are lots of automation apps available on the market which you could use to toggle this stuff depending on the connection available. My favorite again here: Tasker. You could create a profile, and call it e.g. "AutoSync":
Condition: State->Wifi: Wifi Connected
Task: Auto-Sync: Turn On
Exit: Auto-Sync: Turn Off
Once set up, you can ...

From my knowledge of the Sync functionality on the Android it only syncs when it has something new on one of those services. It uses Push technology to send you the latest updates as soon as they become available.
If however new items are appearing in your mail, contacts and/or calendar and it's still not syncing then I would recommend you remove your ...

Yes, support for this is native in Android.
I have an Exchange account added to my phone (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add account). Once I snyc'd email and calendar I was able to receive meeting requests through the Mail application, accept them, and then see them show up in my calendar with a different color. The way Google handles Exchange is really ...

These aren't bugs or policies, Google simply hasn't implemented all of the Google Calendar web features in the Android Calendar app. You can browse Android Calendar feature requests and bugs, as well as request and report them, here: http://code.google.com/p/android-calendar/issues/list

If you have Google account,you do not even need a .csv file.
You may sync your WM phone with Google then when your Android mobile syncs, it will get the calendar entries.
This way you will have the two mobiles in sync and not just for calendar.

Check that you have the calendar selected: go to Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> [your Facebook account] and make sure Sync calendar is selected. On some phones there might be a builtin Facebook sync which only takes care of the names, so if there is no Sync Calendar option, go to Add account and see if you have Facebook under Integrated contact ...

Calendar Snooze can repeat reminders until you acknowledge them, forever. It works with the default Calendar app, and will let it keep syncing with google.
You can customize how often the notification repeats, how many times (including "Keep Repeating"), and you can customize two sets of reminders, for example repeating every minute for 5 minutes, and then ...

Tasker will do this for you. It allows you to automate tasks when certain conditions are met (and is a truly awesome app). Tasker works by monitoring Contexts and then performing Tasks when those contexts match the conditions you set. Contexts and Tasks are grouped together to create Profiles.
You can set up a Tasker Profile with the Calendar Event Context ...

Android stores calender data (and contacts as well) into a SQLite database in the system. The format of that SQLite database differs between ROMs -- so at least for "normal users" it's not that good an idea to "simply" copy that SQLite file. Rather use a good backup app for this. A good example would be iCal Import/Export, which allows you to export your ...
