Hi all,

I've read and followed (to the T) the how-to from the front page, but I cannot get more than one calendar to appear on my Lumia 820. Does it only work if all the calendars are registered to the same account? As the calendar I am trying to add is shared with my from someone else and is really important!

Yes, and it's selected and saved. But it still doesn't show up on my phone. The account is added as an outlook account rather than gmail.

That could be your problem. The outlook account method is exchange or EAS and google is ending support for it (jan 30th I believe) but google might be doing it early. Try re-doing it as an imap account for email, a caldav for calendar, and cardav for contacts. Once that is done then do the m.google.com/sync to get the multiple calendars.

Google is only ending new devices, existing devices with EAS will continue to work. It's ending today so you might be out of luck in terms of re-setting it up. WP should have had an option for "Gmail" when you went to add accounts didn't it? Why'd you set it up as an Outlook account? I'm not sure if Win8/WP8 supports caldav and cardav, and IMAP is so much worse than EAS. Unfortunate.

I set it up as EAS as wp8 only allows push notifications for one google account at a time. I have it set to google now though, but no calendar as of yet :(

This is crazy. I google the problem (again) and followed a different set of instructions (the official google one) here http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2450384

And when viewing the mobile page, got a totally different screen to what i've seen before. Fixed it, piece of cake. Just don't know why it didn't before!

When I did it before, I didn't have the option to select which device to change settings for. Weird!<br>post-276090-0-40989300-1359545854.jpg<br>post-276090-0-50829300-1359545860.jpg

Oh I think I know what you ran into. I copied the link I gave you from some googling and forgot the settings part. It used to work fine but at some point Google changed it so you can only get to the actual management page with the longer link. I ran into that same issue a while ago and promptly forgot about it :p

I know with Windows 8, they made it so only 1 Google Calendar could be synced natively for "bandwidth" reasons. I got around this by subscribing to my calendars privately using my Microsoft account.

or you could just disable js and change the part in the URL where it says multiplecalendars = false to true.

      Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.

      A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
