My HTC calendar widget has stopped working it just shows the "Loading" text and even if you go into the calendar app no events are present. Going to Sync/Accounts and selecting my Google account shows the circular arrow next to "Sync Calendar" - not sure if this means it is trying to sync, but it is there all the time and the arrow is not animated. I don't think this is to do with the Calendar app specifically, since if I use the Google widget nothing shows up there either.
Occasionally, it will work after I reset the phone, but otherwise it is mostly stuck in this state. Any tips on how to diagnose the problem or how to get it working again?
I have the same issue. I found out that when I am also using the Exchange ActiveSync calendar account sync - the calendar's functionality malfunctions more often.
I too have yet to fully understand the root cause for this isseue.
One thing, though, when calendar is stuck in syncing, it consumed a lot of cpu and it blocks other apps from working properly.
I would really appreciate more comments regarding this issue.
Thanks!
Does anything sync and do you ahve the sync service running?
It sometimes works, sometimes not. When it does, UK Holidays, Facebook and my standard Google Calendar syncs, but other calendars on GC do not. They show up on the calendars list fine, but they are not displayed. Actually now looking at it, it seems it may just be loading a cache of previous information, since there's events on the calendar that I've sinced deleted. The sync service I'm pretty sure is running, called Sync and Accounts under OSmonitor? That one's running. Everything else on my phone (Friend Stream, mail, weather) syncs fine, it's just this damned calendar.
I hadn't noticed the Exchange ActiveSync calendar prior to this - it was set to sync even though I don't have anything on it. I have since disabled it and it seems to have improved slightly, but the calendar still shows up calendars list. I've emailed HTC about this, hopefully they'll have some idea of how to fix it.
Ok quick update - HTC emailed me telling me to clear the cache. Having done so (and disabling ActiveSync which I wasn't using anyways) my calendar seems to be working. Anybody with this problem might want to try this and see if it works.
Same as you, I had lot of sync problems with Exchange. It was completely unreliable, until I discovered Laurie's blog !
http://laur.ie/blog/2010/09/exchange-2010-sp1-sync-with-android-froyo/
I installed the Google stock 2.2 email apk (as described in the blog) and after few minutes my calendar was fully synchronized and I receive emails in push. That's great
I am not sure that would solve your issue but it is worth trying it.
(make sure to delete the HTC exchange account).
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I use ADP1.1 and I think since Root Access or maybe even before that (so since the beginning) my google calendar doesn't sync correctly with my G1.
First and most important it only syncs about 30-50% of all events. The rest doesn't show up, even so it's online at google calendar.
And then when I delete a calendar online and import a new one (to update calendar from Entourage/iCal) the G1 shows all the events it syncs twice or three times.
Is there any solution or a reason why that happens? I've asked it before but no answer in another forum. I've read something about two events similar not syncing. But why?
I wanna have my whole calendar from Entourage/iCal on my G1. Is there any way?
Thx.

This probably isn't the cause, but I found one syncing bug in CalendarProvider so far: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1860 This would happen while attempting to sync some repeating events (with no timezone?) and it kills the whole sync process. You can see if it's affecting you by going to Dev Tools / Exception Browser and looking for the exception I quoted in that bug.
As for multiple copies of events, it's possible the G1 still has the old calendars you've deleted (especially if the sync process is being interrupted). Are the events different colours? Do you see the correct set of calendars in Menu / My Calendars (also from there Menu / Add Calendars)?
I'll check that, thx.
No it's fine online, only one event, but on the G1 there are multiple events.
Just goin out on a limb, but I assume you are manually syncing also to make sure?
I deleted the calendar of the G1 because of duplicates (again, after syncing with a new google calendar, strange). Now syncing is working fine.
I sync it with iCal now (instead of importing an iCal file), but now somehow iCal sync missed two events of about 40 which weren't shown at google's online calendar. Strange, very strange.
Well, at least all google events online now can be found on my G1.
Thx anyway.
This thread will be moved to Dream general.
Has nothing to do with developement.
Thank you.
So, ever since I upgraded to 2.2 I've had a stationary sync symbol in my Droid X's status bar. At first it was a minor nuisance and I looked around to see if any one else was having a similar issue, but as I didn't notice any negative effects I shrugged it off as a glitch and learned to live with it.
However, over the last few days, I've missed a few birthdays because they weren't syncing properly with my phone's calendar. I started investigating the problem and in doing so found what was causing the hanging sync. When I went into my phone's application settings, the sync icon would disappear after hitting "force stop" on the "contact sync" application.
Furthermore, I noticed my primary gmail account (the one the calendar and phone are synced to) under My Accounts, was not syncing properly. I never noticed this before because I use k-9 mail and have sync on the gmail account only set up for contacts and calendars.
So, the situation is that my phone's gmail is not syncing (or is just hangning when it tries to sync) and I want to know how I can fix this without a factory reset (as that would be a major pain in my ass).
I had this problem too and tried everything to no avail. I did about 4 factory resets and it finally went away.

When I try to add a corporate exchange email account, it stays stuck on a "loading" screen. I can get out of the email app and use the phone, but when I go back to email it's still on the loading screen - this will go on for hours (even if i soft reset the phone). Won't sync contacts or calendar either. It seems many have had this issue on other forums, but I haven't found a solution or a reason why it's happening. Anyone have any info on this?
I have not had any issues with 2.1 and now on 2.2. When you setup the account sync try not sycing mail maybe only contacts if that works then do calendar and so on. I have seen problem mail and calendar items that cause issues like this on other mobile phones at my work.
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.
I can not get my contacts and calendar entries in Hotmail to sync with Google Contacts and Calendar.
I have removed and added the Exchange Account. The calendars show in settings in Google Calendar, but not entries appear. Same for contracts.
When I do sync, it looks like it is working and displays a date/time of sync no errors.
When I installed the Outlook APP, they show in that app.
What is up. I think this started with the update to 7.0.1. It worked fine with 6.0.
Help?
I am having the exact same issue. No idea what is going on but being how Contacts and Calendar are sort of a standard "should not be this hard to get working" part of a "Smartphone" especially since it is pretty much just basic Exchange Sync support. It's little times like this that realllly infuriates me with Android. Things that should just work, don't and by the time you realize it sometimes, it just screws everything up or you loose data which Android users that aren't rooted and backing up with a 3rd party app (like Titanium Backup) get completely screwed and show up on Facebook as people that "Lost my Phone, Need Everybody's #" threads.
I put even blame on both Microsoft (for their movement to O365 for Hotmail accounts even) and Google (for just having the ****tiest Exchange integration imaginable for stock android).
I'm on 7 (pure Nexus rom), not on 7.1. Having said that, I've had great luck setting up exchange and outlook accounts using the Mailwise app from the play store. It sets up accounts well, and those accounts can be handled just fine in the accounts area of settings. Also, there is an option to bypass exchange security settings, so that I can avoid having to lock down my phone just to see my wife's work calendar. It may be worth a try for you.
I installed BlueMail which also allows adding and syncing the accounts native, but it is still a pain to always need just another app to do something that should be working natively on the device. Grr
Yep. PIA for sure.
