I use several online calendars, all set up correctly in the Samsung Calendar app and when I am creating a new event I can select which of these calendars I want the new event associated with.

The problem is that once I create that event I cannot go back in and edit which calendar that event is associated with. It's stuck on the calendar I originally created the event with.

How do I fix this so I can change the calendar source for previously created events?

Thanks!

If you use Google, and you are synced, you can do it on your computer or laptop.

Thanks grunt0300, I already knew I could do that but that doesn't really help me with my issue regarding the calendar on my Galaxy S3, unfortunately. Do you have any tips on how to make the change from within the calendar app?

I can do exactly what you want on my Vivid. I tap on the calendar app, and it brings up the event. Then i have the option to change or amend the event. Don't know if that helps.

Hmm. Thanks for that reply. Since this is a Samsung device and the calendar app is made by Samsung I'm still not sure how to fix this. I know the Vivid is made by HTC but I'm not sure if HTC provides the calendar app. Is it a stock calendar app you're using? or one from the Google Play market?

It's the stock calendar app that came on the phone. I have multiple calendars, but keep all my events on the gmail calendar, which is synced to the phone. I don't know if you use it, but gmail is a snap, and it syncs with the phone and my MacBook. For me, it's like...set it, and forget it.

Thanks! I use gmail as well. I've attached a screenshot for reference so you can see the issue.

The only thing that i can suggest, is to delete the event from one calendar, and redo it on another calendar. Hope that helps.

Hi - did you find a solution? If so, please share. Paul

No solution found yet unfortunately

I'm having the same problem since moving up to an S3 and Jellybean. This worked fine under Gingerbread on my old phone.

It looks like the bug may have been introduced in the Google version of the calendar, which I installed from the Play Store, and then Samsung copied that bug with the open source code to create their version.

The functionally still exists in many of the third party calendars that aren't based on the same open source code, such as Pocket Informant.

But I really like the simplicity of the stock calendar, and hope they get this fixed soon!

I had the same problem but found a solution. Open up the default Samsung Calendar. You can change calendars on that one but can't on the Google calendar.

I have 3 calendars: I have discovered that if I have NOT sync-ed my calendar, then I can easily change / edit the calendar from one to another. However, after I sync (or the phone syncs it), that feature isn't available any longer. Although, it isn't much extra effort to simply copy the event - thus creating a new event with the desired calendar and then deleting the other event. Hope this helps.

This is a strange thing within the Google Calendar app. Someone suggested in another thread using "aCalender". I love it. It is basically a skin over the Google Calendar. I recommend it to anyone using the Google Calendar App. Not only can you change the calendar in events, you can copy an event and you can read your events in full month mode. It doesn't have a agenda mode, but its full week is much more useful. The only downside is that it only has a 4*4 widget and I like the size of the widget for Google Calendar.

P.S. You can also "jump to date" which you can't do in the Google Calendar app and it shows the calendars in their correct colors from the website. If you use their strange date picker instead of the android one, you can select time to 5 min increments if you want.

I can't get this to work using the Samsung calendar, either. One calendar app that WILL let you reassign an event between calendars is Pimlical: .

It's the most powerful and flexible calendar available for Android. Also possibly the most complicated, but that's the price you pay for all the flexibility. It's probably the most expensive, too, but all the profits go to a good cause, wildlife conservation:

I use another calendar (iRT Pro) for most things, and jump to Pimlical when I need to do something only it will do.

I started using Business Calendar when I discovered the stock calendar would only parse addresses when it felt like it. BC will also let you change calendars on the edit screen.

GOOD JOB!

Thanks. This works for me.

FYI - Press and hold the event, a pop up will ask you what you would like to do... copy it.
