A friend just got a Droid 2 and she is having fits trying to get her default Google account to sync calendar & contacts.
Contacts is showing in the Account Sync settings & is selected, but Calendar does not appear at all.
I was going to remove the account & re-do the setup, but it would require a hard reset & she doesn't want me to do that!
I know that Verizon transferred info to her Droid 2 and wonder if its the culprit.
Suggestions?

Check settings -> battery manager -> Battery mode, and select performance mode. Could be battery manager not allowing data transfer.
Settings -> Applications -> All -> Gmail -> clear data. If the above doesn't work.
This has happened to me and those are the things I did to fix my own problems.
Make sure Gmail is downloaded I was reactivating my phone after updating Fission once and the market wasn't finished downloading and Gmail didn't show up in the sync menu at all like you described. After it was installed I just went back in and selected sync (because it was in there then).

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
Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone facing problems with google contacts syncing?
I tried to do syncing but nothing goes to and fro.. My Gmail contacts stay the same, so does my phones one. Anyone got a solution to this?
I had the same issue last time.
now the problem solved (by itself) as all my Android contact is sync to my Gmail.
I did two things, but I am not sure which one actually makes it work
First:
I sign in to HTC Sense (and I supposed my Android contact is sync to HTC).
Second:
I used myBackup (can be found on the Market).
Then, I flash a new android (so I re-signin to HTC on first Android boot and re-install myBackup). It turns up that I got duplicated contacts (one set from Gmail, one set restored to my phone).
So, I flash again (by deleting the old android folder and replace with a new one). This time, I just sign in to Google and it syncs perfectly ever after^^
Silly question.. but how to sign in HTC sense? i don't see any accounts for HTC sense under my account section.
Lemme try out the mybackup tool then. thanks a lot!
I had a problem with my google contacts showing 3 of evrey contact. You can go to google.com on your computer. Log in with the account you use on your phone. Then click ADD STUFF search for google contacts and add it then edit the contacts how you like them after that go to Accounts and Sync on your phone and delete the google account then click add new account. Add your account back and it will sync with the contacts you saved on the computer
finally got it working.
i realized that if you use any 3rd party contact import (sprite migrate, or mybackup) it seems to screw up the syncing.
So in the end all i used was Export to SD card then import back again after a fresh install.
Not working on Motorola Droid Global too
I hade to use motorola Messaging application (with "Universal Inbox"):
Messaging -> press: Menu -> Manage accounts -> click: [email protected] -> pick one from:
Sync Contacts
Sync Gmail
Sync Calendar.
On Contacts-> press: Menu -> Backup Assistant
I have waited for 3-4minuts with "Communicating with server. Please wait"
then finished with error:
"Network unavailable.
Please contact Verizon customer support for assistance *611"
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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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,
Having problems with mails after upgrade with Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Singapore) using Kies. Noticed that older hot mails after read keep on dumping into phone inbox. I have kept the settings " Recent messages into 25". This my hotmail issue
The 2nd one exchange issue. After read the mail also whenever new mail comes from the notfication bar I could see the number included with older mails. For example 6 mails consider read and when the new mail comes it says 7 new mail
How to avoid those issues? Can I delete those accounts and reinstall again?
Also advise me how to delete the mail accounts?
John
Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> click on the account (for example... [email protected]) -> at the bottom of the screen it will have a button for "Remove Account"
After, you can also go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> at the top click on "All" -> go down to "Email" -> Clear Data
Give that a shot and let me know how it works!

I'm having the same issue and even tried a factory reset.
I tried a Sense 3.0 ROM which uses 2.3.3 and the HTC mail app works perfect for Hotmail exchange sync. It was only after trying a Sense 2.1 ROM that used 2.3.3 that the syncing problems arose.
I was about to suggest getting nitrality to download the SGS II e-mail app, but I noticed you're running a HTC device. Why are you posting here?
Has anyone figured out a way to enable gmail background data without the settings menu option?
