I've been fighting with this feature and still didn't figured out the problem pattern.
Some calendars that I create online don't show up in the Samsung Calendar App.
I managed to export/import the events from the ones that don't show to the ones that show. But I would like to pinpoint this problem.
I installed another calendar app (Gemini) just to check. The app can show all the calendars unlike the samsung calendar app, but the events are still missing from those calendars that Samsung app hides.
Anybody experienced this?
I just flashed to JM6 and tested this right away. The problem still exists.
Your Samsung Calendar app syncs flawlessly with Google Calendars?
What is happening? Nobody has this problem?
There is no setting that prevents the calendars to sync with the phone. What could be happening here?
In calendar app, try Setting > Calendar and tick on your google account.
I wish it was that simple
Anyhow after scrubbing the web I found the solution. It's not that hard, now that I know how. This could be used for a lot of sync problems that have no apparent reason:
goto Settings > Accounts & sync > tap your gmail account > uncheck Sync Calendar
now,
goto Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > menu > Filter > all > Calendar > Clear data
back out to the Applications list and go into Calendar Storage > Clear data
This should wipe out everything in your calendar. Now go back into your gmail account and re-check Sync Calendar
Voilá!!!!! It works. I'm happy.
What a star!
I had this happen for the first time today, glad you sussed it for me

Ok i searched thru the search and havent found my answer. I set up gmail calander and inside it set up some events to follow, like Us Holidays and sport teams calanders. It set up nicely on my laptop, but when i sync on my phone, they show up in the list of connected calanders but are now in the actual calander. Am i doing something wrong?, like looking at the samsung calander and not the Gmail calander. I am on Froyo Dk28 rooted aswell. HELP!!

I didn't fully catch your question, but If I understand correctly:
have you tried going to the regular calendar?: open app drawer, select Calendar. Then Menu, Settings, Calendars
Here you can check or uncheck the calendars you want to show; the list should include all of your calendars, including "other" calendars you added through GCal. After you do that, hit the back button, go to Calendar Sync and make sure the calendar is checked to sync (if you want that). I'm pretty sure most of the other 3rd party calendar apps either use the same method or pull from these settings.
If it's not showing up in the list, uncheck the Calendar Sync from your google account. Then goto Settings->Applications and clear application data for "Calendar Storage" (not "Calendar"). Then recheck the calendar Sync to resync, that should work.
that didnt work, anyone else got any ideas?? Please very annoying not having the holidays on the phone

that fix helped me with my calendar sync issue after upgrading to froyo eb13, thanks!
Had same issue. Clearing Calenar and Sync storage fixed it right up for me. Didn't even need to uncheck the calendars.

same issue here... clearing the cache actually made me lose some of the calendars I had synced and now can't get them back...
Haven't been able to get a calender my wife has shared with me since upgrading at all.
Before I upgraded, I forgot to save the phone calendar since it doesn't sync to google. I used MyBackup Root before I upgraded to save the all calendars. So, I restored the calendar in MyBackup Root and it took all my events from all the calendars it backed up and smushed them into the main calendar. I didn't catch it before it synced to google and it made a mess. I exported the calendar to try to fix it and deleted the calendar to find that the export is corrupted...DOH!!!
Anyone else have a way to solve this issue with MyBackup and putting all calendars into one?

Took me a minute to find the setting, on my Epic 2.2.1 its Settings > Applications > Manage > All > Calendar Storage
WOW. Clearing the cache. I sort of felt it was the cache that was corrupt, but did not know the 'ALL' tab on Apps existed!!
THANKS A TON!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was missing some events/appointments in EB13 calendar. Unchecking sync, then clearing data in "calendar storage" then rechecking sync did the trick! Thank you!!
Hi, I have tons of appointments on google calendar and for some reason this morning all my appointments on my phone are gone. There is nothing on google calendar. However when I check online on my PC, they are all there. I have rebooted my phone many times and even cleared cache and delvik cache with no luck. Is anyone else having this issue today too?
Google calendar still works fine for me, all of next month still has all my appointments and events.
Try wiping the data/cache for the calendar:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Calendar > Clear data/cache
Settings > Applications > Manage Applicaitons > All > Calendar Storage > Clear data/cache
Then go to 'Settings > Accounts & Sync Settings' and make sure syncing is on, select your account email. Then uncheck and check "Sync Calendar" it should sync everything for you again.

Thanks, worked like a charm
The standard calendar app doesnt show all calendars. If I add new calendars though there are shown in the standard Calendar app.
Weird enough some third party apps do allow to select all other gmail app calendars, but they are marked as inactive?
How do i get teh calendar to sync all Gmail Apps Calendars?
Weird, when I go into the calendar settings and click calendars, all of them show up.

With google calender the first time the sync occurs, it happnes with the calenders that are enabled google calendar on the web.
Here is what u can do .
1. Go to google.com/calendar and make all the calendars visible
2. In phone - settings /manage applications delete the data from calendar and calender storage.
3. then settings / accounts and sync - re sync calendar.
Now all the calenders will come in calendar app in phone.
Select the ones that u want.
Thanky you
I tried your method of deleting the data and then re-syncing the accounts. But, now even the main calendar from my google account has disappeared and refuses to show up. Is there something missing here??? Cal widget for example shows all the calendars in its configurations but does not show any of the events from the same.
there is something wrong with the default calendar. I am running stock rom xxki3.
Hi, I had similar issue, i think this is one of known issue on android, I tried "clear data" method, sometimes it may work, sometime it doesnt. I google for solution and I found this temporary workaround would solve the issue, atleast for me..
you may want to try this:-
1. Go to android setting, application (all), clear data on calendar storage (WARNING-this step will wipe all calendar entries which were saved internally on your phone)
2. Go to market, download & install this app called: Business calendar (FREE)
(This app have direct connection to google calendar, which will also download and keep all of your calendars entries (including sub calendars)
3. Open business calendar, login with your gmail account, and it will start sync
(manual: more > sync now) it may take few mins, be patient.
this way, your stock or default calendar will get synced as well automatically...try this out
Thanks for the tip. After selecting the sub-calendars on the app, the default calendar also started recognizing the same. Weird.....
This tips is working.
First time, this doesn't work, I had to erase my google account (by the way to refresh my apps ^^).
But the second time, it worked.

I think this is a bug in Samsung Calendar app. The first time the phone synchronize with google calendar, the phone will download all calendars available for the google account. Each calendar has two flags, sync and visible. The first time, all calendars will be flag unsync and hidden (not visible) except our main calendar. After that we can use the calendar app to choose which calendar will be sync and visible. The problem with Samsung Calendar app, if the calendar is flagged as hidden, then the Calendar apps won't recognize the calendar at all, so we can't change the flag to visible. This does not happen with my other phone. So this is not Android bug. I think this bug exist since Samsung Galaxy S. Someone in Galaxy S use sql editor to edit the calendar database. Meanwhile I use Calengoo. Bussiness Calendar can be used as well
Hi all since ICS came out been having problems syncing my entire Google calendar to my Galaxy S2. The phone would only sync the past month and forget the rest and I have been looking all over the internet for a solution but found nothing, some solution also required installing third party apps, but I found a solution that does not require third party apps.
What you need to do; First check what you are using to sync your Google account
Now if you are using Google it will only sync the past month.
Setting>Account and Sync>Add Account>Google
If you are syncing your calender through Google you will only get 1 month in the past.
Now for those that want there entire calendar on there phone like me (past/future events) this is what I did.
>turn off wifi
>disable Google sync
>clear calendar (settings>applications>all) clear calendar and calendar storage
> now turn your wifi on and make sure google sync is disabled.
> now add your G-mail through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
>Fill in the details you [email protected]/password next
>NOW about half way down in the settings list, there is a option to sync calendar
(Period to sync calendar) (select all Calendar) (at the bottom choose what you would like to be synced)
>Select all calendar
>name your account and hit done
> Go to Accounts and sync and manually push sync wait about 2-3 minutes depends on the amount of events in your calendar to download to the phone and you are done.
Please leave a comment if you tried this and it worked.
Good luck

every time i open up the calendar app, it goes through the initial setup. when i get to the calendar, nothing is displayed. i can't choose which calendars to show. going to settings > accounts >google doesn't let me choose whether to sync calendar or not (it seems everything else is there).
I haven't tried myself yet, but people are saying the 5.1.1 contacts app will allow syncing in 6.0....I would try that with the calendar app. Remember...google calendar is a play store app now, so it should be version-agnostic, to a degree.

I can confirm that Calendar sync works just fine for me. Check your permissions and make sure you have granted all of them in Apps. Contact and Calendar syncs are working just fine, as are all the others.
