I use 3 Google Calendars on my account, personal, work and rota. Since I've had my Nexus One, I notice some of them are not showing on the calendar on my phone, although I see them on the web version.
When I click some of them it shows -
Creator: [email protected] for Work
Most others don't show creator info (probably set before I had a Nexus), just the event time and date... these one's show fine.
Does anyone know what's happening? I rely on them quite a lot, so if things stop working, it's going to make my life more difficult
**EDIT** Okay, literally as I'm typing this and playing with things, they all seem to have come back...
Anyone ever seen this happen?
Also, while I'm here, how do I change the first day of the week to be a Sunday instead of a Monday on the Nexus Calendar?
Thanks for any help...
This is apparaently quite a common issue => search or google calendar sync issue in google and you'll find lots of info on it esp. the Google Calender help forum.
This happened to my nexus and I read somewhere that programs like toggle settings and quick settings seem to cause this (something to do with them taking control over sync settings). So I uninstalled both of them and a couple of hours later I was glad to see the calendar sync was working again!
I did however quite like Toggle settings and wish there was a way I could use it without it messing up the calendar sync function. If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

Frequently my calendar will sync for hours on end and eat through the battery life,forcing me to turn it off altogether so I don't run out altogether. The data does actually sync fine,ie both calendars are up to date all the time, so far as I can tell. Any ideas? I have searched this forum and google to no avail. I happen to use Cyanogen's rather brilliant (experimental series) ROM, but don't feel this is related as no other Cyanogen users have reported similar issues. Can't remember if I had these problems on stock ROM. Help?
Cheers
Are we talking about the google calendar?
If it is google calendar check on your PC that you don't have background image or attach google docs enabled in your calendar. These features may not be compatible.
Cheers for the reply, interesting idea. It seems to have gone away (for now) after I exported everything to ical files, deleted everything and re-imported (via a PC). Fingers crossed..
I went ahead and moved all my contacts, etc. over to start using as my phone. Here is a word of caution to all. I'm sure it won't be an issue with most users, or people familiar with Android already. I used MyPhoneExplorer to start syncing all my contacts from Outlook, and my Calendars from Thunderbird Lightning. I did it this way specifically to avoid storing these on an outside server. I was not careful enough...in the background over the last 10 hours, it took all my business client contacts and merged them into my gmail account...which sucks but fixable with some time. But along with this it took all my client accounts calendar info and put it online and public viewable...2 years back worth of private client info! I would have never noticed, but I just happened to come accross google dashboard, and thought it would be interesting to see what info google collects from their various programs. Bam...front and center, under calendar was my clients name, address, time of our last meeting..and everything discussed. Took me a while to figure out how delete all this.
Just a warning to double check all settings before using this for any work related storage that you don't want pasted for the world to see.
So, really stumped here. I've tried 4 3rd party calendar applications, all with the same result. Under Settings, Accounts, Google, I for sure have calendars unchecked. I've used 3 or 4 different syncing programs to transfer my Thunderbird calendar to Atrix. Everything works flawlessly...syncing between Thunderbird and device is especially nice using MyPhoneExplorer. I constantly check the settings tick box...and calendar always remain empty = NOT SYNC. Except my calendars always end up uploading to the internet and appearing in my gmail calendar. Ultimately, I need to use this for business...and this is unacceptable. Is there some other setting I'm missing. I realize Google wants to get their hands on your info at every chance...and yes I know there is a trade off to use their services for free. But I'm not seeing a way to even use a 3rd party calendar w/o it getting sucked up by Google. I have no idea what that tick box is for, if it is going to sync no matter what you tell it.
Anyone know of a solution, or workaround? Been at this for weeks now with no luck. Have a nice new phone, and still have to carry around my old Tilt with me everywhere I go. I'm actually using the Tilt more, since I can't seem to get this hardware superior phone to do what my dinosaur does flawlessly.
Hello. I am using ki8 and siyah kernel. I am getting insane levels id wake lock due to calendar. I believe it is the same as an old aosp bug. Can some one direct me further on what to do next, I don't think deleting calendar sync is an option.
Yeah. 40% over 10 hours is good worth that usage..except I wasn't using the phone except at the beginning.
Thank you

Just had one of these yesterday running villainrom 3
It happened because I had locked the screen in the middle of setting a calendar event without saving or cancelling. I guess it got stuck in awake and killed my bat as well.
Exited and it's been fine so far.
I have that wakelock also. It's really bad when I have busy schedule. I notice it has something to do with reminder alarm. If no reminder alarm set for an appointment, it seems fine though. Any one else having this wakelock? This wakelock really drain battery.
p.s. I have seen this thread but that is more about identifying the issue. now we have I think it is worth seeing if this is a ki8 only issue, or ki3 or (2.3.5) our ki4 (2.3.4)

So to isolate and confirm what other people have said...
First I tried different calendar alert settings. No difference.
I have now reset my calendar data and re-synced. I will update tomorrow if phone refuses to sleep after first calendar alert.
If that fails I shall remove first built-in calendar; and then google calendar from calendar app.
Finally if that fails I will try uninstalling Samsung apps one by one. (I always did SNS and hub apps. I never turned dive on)
Read the discussion in this thread (posted earlier) where a couple of us discuss what is going on with Calendar. However in my case, I don't use Calendar much so I simply uninstalled it with Titanium Backup. Now I don't get any more wakelocks but I also don't have a calendar, so it's up to you.

shutting down services selectively didn't seem a solution to me. I can say that wiping data for the three calendar apps and re syncing helped,. I had zero wake locks today inspite of a massive schedule that meant I couldn't even dismiss the events this afternoon except once I needed to make a call.
I wonder if calendar didn't like google assisted upgrade.
I shall monitor that.

Well I think that cracked it. Turn off calendar sync.
Wipe calendar data and re-enable calendar sync.
I cannot remember which forum I read that but kudos to that one and shame not more people tried it.
I was getting wakelocks as well with the calendar so i froze it in Titanium and i use Calandar One and no wakelocks (and it's much better than the stock one too)
Hi, probably too soon, but has someone already managed to solve the one calendar problem on Calendar App? Like, i use google calendar with multiple calendars in it (basically, for different colors display on phone), an would be nice to have this feature here... I know, probably wont be fixed till final release, but just wanted to know if someone had an Idead =)
BTW, loved this consumer preview! Really, just put google account somewhere, and everything else started sharing and syncing!!
Havn't had time to install the Consumer Preview yet (and I don't really use Google Calender), but there is a similar problem with WP7.
Now I don't know if the Calender app support multiple calenders correctly (might be an issue on Windows 8's side), but if it does (like WP7), you need to select which calenders to use in Google.
Again, I am not too familiar with this, but this might the same problem so this page might help you:

If it doesn't work after that try manually syncing Google or re-adding your Google account.
hm, good shot, but two problems...
first, I used to have this problem on iphone, and solved like the way you showed. On android, don't have this issue, can't even access this webpage cause it has other ways to solve. So, i used my sister's iphone, and went to m.google.com/sync, and there the only thing that showed was Windows Mail, no calendar options =/
Tryed to resync, no luck, since different from mail app, it can't be done. You cand Add accounts, but not delete...
But, anyway, its a beta, probably things are gonna change in the near future
BTW, when windows phone 8.0 show up, my galaxy sII will have a mini heart attack, haha
thanks anyway

Hi,
Currently per Google's request for bandwith, Calendar App only Sync root calendar.
Developers on both sides are working on this issue to improve accessibility on this.
Thank you for using Windows 8 and your feedback.

i got my google calendar to work in sync with the calendar app for windows 8 if that is what you are asking i could explain? google calendar colors is another story though, can't replicate the color scheme on w8
he meant multiple calendars using the same account, currently the calendar will only show the primary calendar, it has no options to see the other calendars created under the same account, reason is in that quote of mine above
Hey guys, I have been having a problem with Google Sync for some time now and wondered if anyone else
has the same problem. For me the auto-sync no longer works for any of the Google services, most noticeably gmail. On my old DHD and the N4 when I just got it, emails would appear on my device almost instantaneously after being sent no matter if I was on 3G or Wi-Fi or if phone was asleep. For last couple months the phone would sync emails about 1nce a day and since I need to know when new emails arrive, I'm forced to force sync from either Google sync in settings, or by clicking refresh from GMail itself.
I googled this issue many times and there seems to be a lot of people with the same problems and many different suggestions, I tried the ones listed below, but nothing works and if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know!
I have 3 Gmail accounts and my auto sync is turned on from both the quick toggles in notification bar, the power widget (don't use it just wanted to see if it would help) and from data usage settings. I'm running AOKP ROM milestone 1 but this problem as far as I remember happened on other ROMs too. I also do not have any power saving apps installed. I also have about 1GB of free memory. I also disabled browser sync under someone's advice.
Doing a clean flash of a ROM does help for couple of days, maybe a week, but then always the same thing happens. Clearing app data for Google apps might work, but I'm not sure if it will last and prefer a more permanent solution.
So does anyone have similar problem and/or knows a fix?
