I'm not crazy about the look of the new Lollipop calendar, but I can live with it EXCEPT the annoying slow refresh.
Anyone else having this problem? Ever since I upgraded my phone to Lollipop when I post something to the calendar it doesn't appear immediately. It apparently is sent to the Google cloud first and then the phone needs to refresh.
If I manually refresh after posting or editing an event, it shows up, but otherwise it may take a good 30 seconds or more.
Extremely annoying.
There is no way to get the old calendar back without flashing the phone back to KitKat.
For this reason I will keep my wife's phone on KitKat. She'll just hate Lollipop. I just need to find a way to disable the Lollipop update nag. I found a post that says to disable the Motorola Update Service.

I did a little research and a lot of people hate the new calendar. One of the suggestions was to get the free version of Business Calendar:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... zcal&hl=en
It has great reviews, and it syncs to your Google calendar. I like the look and functionality from the demo video. Going to try it.

Ok, I like Business Calendar. When I enter or edit an event, it's updated immediately. Free version has ads at the bottom. I'll try it for a few weeks and if I decide I'm sticking with it I'll buy the Pro version.
There's also a Business Calendar 2 but it just came out and looks like the new Lollipop calendar so I'll pass.
