  1. Open the Calendar app and touch > Event.

  2. Touch the account name to associate the event with the calendar you want.
  3. Enter the start time and other details.
  4. If you want a reminder sent to your status bar, touch Add another notification and select how long before the event you want a reminder.
  5. Touch Save.

Edit or delete events

  1. Touch an event to open it.
  2. Do any of the following:

    • To edit it, touch .
    • To delete it, touch > Delete.

To temporarily hide calendar events for a Google account you don't need to see all the time:

  1. Touch .
  2. Beneath the account name, touch Events. If you have multiple calendars for that account, touch the name of each calendar to hide its events.

    TipWhen you hide events, the calendar still syncs with your Google account. To prevent that account's calendar from automatically syncing, from the home screen go to Settings > Accounts.

To exclude automatically-generated events created from Gmail (for events such as flight bookings and restaurant reservations):

  1. Touch > Settings > Events from Gmail.
  2. Under the name of the account, turn off Add events from Gmail.
