Googlemail calendar not synching to X10 or entried made on X10 to Googlem calendar

Hi everyone!
Need some advice please? I have GMail and Calendar working perfectly in my X10 but my friend’s calendar does not synch to her own X10..
On the X10,
Settings – Data Synchronisation – Google mail is checked..
Then choose select sync application – Google sync,
Background data,
Auto synchronisation,
Calendar,
Contacts
Are all checked..
Select Calendar,
From menu select more – My calendars
Both UK holidays and [email protected]
Are both checked.
All seems OK on the PC!
My idea is that when she set up the calendar and it asked Calendar to X10, X10 to calendar or bother directions, she maybe did something wrong there.
I cannot find those settings to change them!
Not sure if I delete the calendar from Google on the PC then add it again, if it would resolve the issue…
Or delete from the phone and reinstall that way.
I don't want to delete the google account from her phone because she added many calendar entries directly.
Any ideas most welcomed!!

I had a same problame. Delete from the phone and add new one.

If you don't want to lose calendar entries made on the phone, you should check out SE Sync:
https://account.sonyericsson.com/login
And on the phone: Settings - data sync - choose sync service/software - SE sync
It is free, works very smoothly, I have no idea why SE tries to hide it from everyone.
You would be able to store all calendar entries to SE Sync website and recover them after you have cleared the phone calendar.

I've seen somewhere on here that syncing can be re-enabled by disassociating the phone with the google account and then putting it back in.

thanks very much for your replies,
I meet my friend on Monday and will try to sort this problem.
@im_iceman I tried that but only for 30 minutes, and did not switch the phone off. I will try it again on Monday.

You can also try settings - applications - manage applications - clear the storage of both calendar storage and calendar.
That should make the calendar app sync again with the Google server.

Calendar question
Hi there!
I have been following this forum for many months now and find it the most useful place; all of you are doing a great job here!
I don't want to create a new thread, so writing my question here.
I wanted to have a look at the Calendar function of the X10 and went to the local store. They gave me an unlocked/unbranded one to play with for a good 20 minutes. Surprisingly there was no way to actually enter the Calendar application. In any attempt it required to fill in my Google account.
I have asked in many places if the main Calendar application of X10 is web-oriented or it is local (on phone). Many ppl said it IS local an there is no need to have a data connection at all to use the Calendar (of course, if you want to sync you need data, that's a different story).
Anyway, despite changing many options and settings (not to sync Calendar, not to use Google account, etc.) I have still no luck in entering the Calendar even to have a look at.
Note: X10 which I used in store was in no-SIM mode (there was no SIM within).
If you have any suggestions or some kind of workaround, please share them.
Thak you in advance and have a great day!

Yes, the problem is that she only entered her calendar items on the phone!
I will see her on Monday to try things again!

[Q] Google Calendar setup on Droid2?

First, hello. First post, I'm an HTC Incredible owner (root, s-off, SkyRaider 2.2 ROM), and my wife just got a Droid2.
I'm stumped on trying to get her Google calendar to show up on her Droid2.
Accounts shows her Google account and when I tap it, it shows options for synch of email and contacts, but there is no entry for calendar like there is on my Incredible.
When I go to the option to add an account, there is no option to add a calendar to synch (not that I expected one).
So, basically, she has a useless calendar app, you can't even add entries, because it wants something to synch with first.
What am I missing?

That's strange. Sync Calendar is there on my Droid 2 and works fine. Has she set up her calendar through Gmail online yet? Might need to do that first.

Yeah, I thought that might be it, you're right, it is a new account.
I set up her calendar through Gmail on line and added one event about an hour ago.
Maybe I should just give it some time...or, maybe I need to delete her Google account on the phone and re-add it?

Yeah I would delete and re-add the account.

Yup, that did it...of course, I had to go through a full factory reset to delete that account, but after a bit of setup all over again, she's in business. Thx.

Anyone have issues with Google Calendar syncing?

I have my Google Calendar set to sync.. and I have my Calendar online show friends bdays and they all show up just fine on the website. But it doesn't seem like they sync to the phone. Any ideas why?

I had problem with google calendar updating. In the calendar I would hit refresh with no effect. If you go to the main menu, settings, sync, and hit the gmail sync, I think it syncs correctly then. Since I manually sync all my apps for battery reasons I just put the "sync all" widget on my homescreen and press it when I want everything to update. Hope that makes some kind of sense and helps.

I've tried to do a manual sync as well. The 'Us Holidays' calendar shows up on my phone. But not the Birthdays. I put the birthdays in my Gmail contacts.. They sync to the calendar online without a problem. For some reason they just don't go to my phone

I had this problem with a friend's shared calendar and was able to fix it.
Verify under Google Calendar you are actively viewing that calendar
Under Accounts and disable the calendar sync for your google account
Under Applications, clear data for "Calendar Storage" note this is different from "Calendar"
Re-enable the calendar sync to resync
That should work. If not, try reversing the order. I did it myself, and a friend of mine fixed his phone after i gave him similar directions.

Worked perfect. Can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks.

Actually. It worked for some people but not all. So weird.

[Q] epic Calander Problems

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!!

Calendar does not sync all Gmail Apps Calendars!!!!

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
