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 ...

Assuming Samsung have made the same changes for the Captivate as the Galaxy, then fully opening an appointment in the Calendar app and pressing Edit, you should have a line labelled "Calendar" that will say "My Calendar" (this is the local calendar on the phone), press the arrow beside that and it takes you to a list of your calendars and lets you select ...

Apparently, Google Now uses the "My Calendars" section of Google Calendars.
When my wife's calendar was shared with me, I was granted "Make changes AND manage sharing" rights. This puts the calendar into "My Calendars" for both users' calendars. When I changed it to "Make Changes to events" on my wife's sharing tab, the calendar moves from "My ...

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 ...

Assuming you upgraded your Galaxy 5 to Android 2.2, you can do the following:
To sync and see calendars from both accounts:
a. If you already added your other GMail account, skip to step c.
b. Add your second GMail account under Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Add account -> Google and follow directions there.
c. Tap on the newly ...

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 ...

I know it's typically frowned upon to answer your own question, but I have. This was a total PEBKAC. I use a different calendar app than the default, so I disabled the pre-installed Samsung calendar in the Application settings in order to stop it appearing in my application list. This is fine and doesn't affect anything, but I apparently got a little trigger ...

Not sure this if this exactly what you mean but if memory serves from when I ran the stock samsung rom on my SGS2 the Samsung calendar is separate.
When you create events you need to select the calendar you want to create them in. Obviously, you should pick the google one rather than the 'my calendar' one.
I think you can also set the default calendar ...

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 ...

Usually it's called Calendar. Ask your provider if it still isn't showing on your phone.
Alternatively, trying seeing if long-pressing an empty area of your screen and then choosing Widgets - shows the Calendar Widget in the list.
I am assuming of course, that you've already set up your Google Account to sync with your device.

Yes, this will all work as smoothly as you hope.
I recently traveled to a different timezone. Before the trip I added a lot of events in my Google calendar with an explicit timezone set (of my destination). Google (and my phone) did the timezone math correctly when I was there.
The only caveat is that if you travel somewhere outside of your phone's ...

Google calender works with time zones exactly like you hope it would. All events shift appropriately based on your local time zone without user intervention. I particularly like how on the web you can specify a different time zone for the start and end of an event so you can accurately record the time of an airplane trip.

I think Google Calendar SMS reminders are supposed to come from only one number (or only a few numbers), which might be different from user to user. For example, you would get reminders from numbers A, B, and C, while I would get reminders from numbers D, E, and F. So, if you add A, B, and C under one contact, that should solve your problem.
However, there ...

That calendar app is the default included in AOSP. Carrier and manufacturer customizations frequently replace the AOSP variants in favor of modified versions.
This is what's happened with the Galaxy SII updates. Instead of vanilla android you received Touchwiz.
If you'd like it on your phone, you can install it from the Play Store or flash a custom rom like ...

It looks like you have to launch the Calendar app, then you can open the Options menu and choose Search. Then you can search your Calendar. If you've got a Search hard key, you should be able to press that as well once you're in the app.
Note that on Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich, the Search is going to be in the overflow menu.
I looked and there's no ...

This isn't really an Android problem, per se.
My wife and I have been effectively sharing our calendars for a few years. I use Android, she uses an iPhone.
The secret sauce is to use Google Calendar.
We each have our own Google Accounts, and have shared (read-access) with each other.
We also have created shared calendars for both of our kids, Household ...

You might want to take a look at Pure Calendar Widget. Will cost you about two bucks, but does exactly what you request:
Widget for Agenda / Tasks / TODO (agenda style)
Synced with Google calendars
Show calendars from Google, TouchDown & Moto/LG Exchange
Show tasks from Astrid, Tasks (Team), MyPhoneExplorer, Ultimate To-Do List, TaskSync, ...

My first thought is for manual sync. iCal import/export can export your events.
The second step would be to import those events to google (in Google Calendar -> other Calendars -> import Calendar).
Not tried it myself, but you get the idea.

I just downloaded off widget from Google Apps called simple calendar. once you install the widget on to your home screen then you go to the apps area and single tap on the simple calendar icon. takes you into the settings for the simple calendar widget and you will be amazed to see how many different ways you can customize the calendar. you go into one area ...

According to the fix app, the actual bug it fixes is 34880.
Basically, Play installs paid apps to the wrong location, specifically to /mnt/asec instead of /data/app. When the service cache is generated on boot, that location is not yet mounted, so the service and the associated accounts gets removed.
This works around that by using the same account on a ...

It's possible that the calendar app is showing the birthday in the "My Calendar" and also from the "Contacts' birthdays and events" from google calendar (which you can set up from the website, birthay is in the more section of "Interesting Calendars"). If is the case they should show up with 2 different colors. You can turn on of these calendars off in the ...

Founded ugly workaround (link).
Add exchange account:
domain\username: is my aspmx.l.google.com\username@gmail.com
server: m.google.com
Now I can sync calendar - but only first one :/.
Still looking for a proper solution.

You can restore the calendar from your backup files. Two of them should be of interest to you.
com.android.calendar-[big number].apk
com.android.providers.calendar-[big number].apk
The first one is the actual calendar, while the second is a helper app for it that stores it's data. To reinstall either use Titanium Backup, a file manager (there're plenty ...

In your Google Calendar on the web you can set a default notification period for the events you subsequently set up on the web calendar. In the calendar app provided with Gingerbread I don't see any similar default setting but you can set a notification for each event you set up.
FYI Google has numerous problems with alarms in Gingerbread. One is that if ...

Indeed - there are a few but I'd recommend Rolf's Agenda Widget. Lots of options and highly configurable.
Scrolling support is present, although the launcher must support scrollabel widgets like ADW / LPP / GoLauncher do.

Open the Calendar App. Press MENU > SETTINGS > scroll down to NOTIFICATION SETTINGS.
You can then choose your desired ringtone and whether an alert should pop up or merely a notification bar update shows along with Vibrate options.
As a calendar alternative, check out Jorte.
The Galaxy S2's alarm interface has options for recurring alarms as well as ...

Samsung has their own Calendar in TouchWiz, it is not the "Stock" calendar. And from what I remember, you cant change the color of the calendars in the TouchWiz calendar. I stopped using the touchwiz calendar and bought "Business Calendar" - there is a free version too that has ads and missing a couple features like "drag&drop". It works great, and has a ...

Not all calendars are allowed to sync with the google calendar app - examples of this are NFL schedule calendars. Any calendar that are not in the XML format will not sync. I remember seeing a warning about some of the interesting calendars not being able to be synced with my phone when I first set some of them up.
Here is post with a work around on how to ...
