How do I disable the stock calendar and make google calendar the default one ?

the option to disable is unavailable in the application section like it was for the S3

If you're talking about Google Calendar being the default calendar app you will need to go into Settings, then Apps, and find the current default calendar app (whichever one currently opens) then click on clear defaults.

Thanks for the reply but when I go to do that it is not an option

I think I ended up going to app settings and disabling the default calendar. I would get double notifications for every event.

I know this is an old thread but I've finally come around to Google Calendar for Android and I'm looking into how to at least not get double notifications. I've tried several things I've found here and elsewhere and nothing seems to work. Has anyone been able to get this to work? Maybe I have to just wait until my 2 years is up, get a GS6 and hope it plays more nicely.

- Tried disabling notifications in Samsung Calendar, they seem to re-enable themselves every couple of days or whenever I restart my phone.

- Tried turning off calendars in the app, that also turns them off in Google Calendar, turning back on in Google Calendar turns them back on in Samsung calendar also.

- Tried disabling Samsung calendar sync. That disables Google calendar sync.

- Option to disable Samsung calendar app is disabled in settings.

I ma having a problem with this too. I cannot believe that after all these year Samsung just hasn't gotten around to "fixing" this. It is clearly designed to be a pain in the ***.

When I go into Application Manager, the option to disable Calendar is disabled. I can clear the data and the cache and force stop, but I cannot disable.

When I go into account sync, "Calendar" is not there. It doesn't show up at all. I do see all of the other expected sync options, just not Calendar.

I have installed Google Calendar but it will not connect to my accounts, Samsung has broken this with their PoS calendar app. I just want it to so away.

Is there some way to delete this app? Or do I just need to take this phone back and get a refund then buy a real working Android phone from Google?

I was able to disable the stock calendar on my S7 and now I just have notifications from Google Calendar.
Now I get about 15 notifications a day saying "Calendar notifications not showing, to receive notifications from Calendar, go to settings, blah blah blah".
I cannot find a way to stop this notification.
Does anyone know how to stop it from notifying?
Thanks.

I have the same, annoying, message from Samsung calendar after having managed to silence the double notifications.

This is a 7 year old thread for the Galaxy S4, so I suggest creating a new thread in the Note20 forum with your question to get better visibility: https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-note-20-ultra/
