SOLVED!! Needless to say Orange were to blame. Once I turned off the porn filter, the Hero is able to upload data to Google. Thanks to the guys at Google answers for that one (would link it, but can't remember where I found it!)
Hi everyone. I've been having problems syncing my calendar on my Hero with Google Calendar.
I've ensured that any new entry is for my google calendar not the phone calendar. I can sync from Google calendar to the Hero but not the other way round.
Contacts and emails work fine.
On my sync settings menu (Settings, Data synchronisation, Google) I have the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." It hasn't yet and the Hero is 1 week old!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Pete
Sorry, just so you all know, I have had a good look already for solutions. Most people's just seem to work after they set the calendar on the Hero as the Google Calendar each time they make a new entry...
Sadly not mine!
Do you already have the new update on your Hero?
Mine sync great and I haven´t even installed the new update.
Greets.
Yep new update on unlocked Hero. HTC just said to do a hard reset (which didn't work).
I wonder whether its something to do with my Google calendar rather than the Hero?
Tried searching but there hasn't been an update on this since end of January.
Picasa fails to synchronize with the Gallery application and therefore does not have access to your online web albums. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." is the description given in the Accounts and Sync section of settings on all users phones that suffer from this problem.
Not sure if i'm allowed to link here but i will temporarily -- http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1b2261084660a1d2&hl=en&start=40 -- (and will remove if necessary) to the google forum thread on this but the answers from Google employees are vague and have been for well over the month the issue has been known.
As this wasn't resolved for non US users, does anybody have any updates, work arounds to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Did you sign up for a Picasa account After you got you N1? If so, you need to wipe your phone. The phone will sync with Picasa after that. My wife had that issue...and wiping the phone worked.
Hope that's what you were asking about.
Lemme guess, you have an @googlemail.com account rather than an @gmail.com account?
Google are aware of it though, so should get sorted.
EDIT: Which you linked to in your post, d'oh!
Non US user hence googlemail account. wondered if anyone on here had looked into it and found a way / modded the app / created a different version of gallery etc to sync.
Guessing not so far (N)
Surely someone can work around this rather than wait for the update to fix this that might never happen, along with proper non us sat nav (licensing issues, i know but come on already!)
Hi all-
My Samsung Vibrant TouchWiz Calendar is not sending invites to participants when saving the calendar entry to exchange 2003 push synced calendar. I only sync my calendar and email to exchange (not my contacts because I can't add ringtones to exchange contacts). The calendar entry gets synced to exchange, but shows up in outlook with no attendees. Also the attendees never receive an invite email. The touchwiz calendar however will send invites when I save the calendar entry to gmail. Is this a limitation or a bug? As a side note, the default Android calendar on my coworkers droid (not TouchWiz) synced to the same exchange 2003 server works just fine at creating calendar entries with participants and sending meeting invites.
PS: I'm the IT admin for everything so I can check any setting or apply any fix because I'm awesome...

Really guys? No one has an answer our similar experience?

Still no expert opinion? Am I the only one?

This seems to be a problem in the stock e-mail / calendaring client. So far, I have found only 3 work arounds:
1. Schedule meetings from the PC client (which is what I do).
2. Schedule meetings using a third-party client like TouchDown or Roadsync. I used to use Roadsync, but their later builds have not been up to par. So, I've moved back to stock.
3. Send your calendar invitation as an attachment from the Calendar app.
I don't know if 2.2 fixes this shortcoming or not.
There's been a long conversation about this elsewhere, but I'd have to search around for that thread.
P.S. That is interesting about your co-worker's droid.
ScratchSF,
Thanks for the update. I am glad atleast someone took the time to review. I have been flipping through AndroidForums, XDA, T-Mobile Forums, etc for a fix/workaround or at least an answer from someone with a bit more experience. I agree with you on the third party app. I tried TouchDown and the UI is just not something I could ever get used to using. I am not sure it is a stock email/calendar client issue, more likely its the Touchwiz interface. What leads me to this conclusion like I said in the previous post is the following observations:
TouchWiz Calendar is able to send invites when saving calendar entries to gmail calendar
I have verified with my own eyes that one of my employees, Droid sends invites when saving to his exchange calendar and he is running Eclair 2.1 with the stock android calendar
Various other shortcoming of the Touchwiz calendar including having to specify which calendar to save to for every calendar entry created (With the un-deleteable "My Calendar" being the default)
I appreciate you clearing the air and letting me know that there is a thread out there that discusses this issue in further detail. My curiosity is peaked however, I would enjoy reading what others have said so if you could send me the thread to look at, I would appreciate it.
You could always just replace the TouchWiz calendar with the stock one. Also, it's "piqued my interest" not "peaked"... that always irks me...
ScratchSF,
Thanks for responding to the post and clearing some of the confusion running around in my head. 8 Years of IT experience, 1 month of Android experience. You get the picture.
I would love to read the thread you are refering to that discusses this issue in further detail (I have yet to see one that fully details the issues) and I have been searching for a month now.
I do agree that if the limitation is an Android issue, the fact that my employee's Eclair 2.1 with stock Calendar being able to save calender entries to exchange and have the invites go out it a pecuiliarity. However in my research I see that there are quite a few issues with the Samsung/Touchwiz calendar (besides my problem) that would make it much more likely that Samsung does not properly support Exchange syncing yet. My understanding with 2.2. Exchange enhancements was that Tasks and Memo syncing would be added features. I personally have seen my employee's droid function correctly (running the stock calendar).
So if you could dredge up the thread you where talking about so I can read for my own sense of sanity, I would appreciate it.

Kuhan,
Sorry to say that I have already tried that. Replacing the TouchWiz calendar with the stock Android calendar causes a force close when attempting to sync to Exchange. This is likely to do with the stock Android Calendar provider not having the same hooks that the Samsung/TouchWiz calendar provider has. It was my first step (as I think the stock calendar is far better).
Any other ideas?
Update... Upgraded to Team Whiskey Obsidian V2 and then V4.2 w/ULF and since the upgrade, calendar had been working like a dream. Invites sent via exchange get sent to the recipient through exchange. Accepted invites still don't update the status of participants but oh well it works!

I recently updated to the new 2.2 that was officially released through Kies for the Samsung Vibrant. Everything was working fine and after a long process I finally got my Facebook and Twitter synced to my contacts on the correct people. Now, after about a week, the sync is having trouble and sort of unsynced people on it's own. So I thought, maybe if I removed the account and re-added it. Well, not it won't even log in.
Anyone else having this problem or had this problem and found a solution? Help would be greatly appreciated.
My facebook account wont sync either as of this afternoon. however the actual facebook for android app works fine. go figure
Hey guys. My friend just bought a s4 and having trouble syncing Google calender events older than 45 days old coming from gingerbread. "Photon user". I have copied his email below hooping someone might have some help for him.. Thanks for any help..
" From what I understand the newest version of Android OS no longer supports synchronizing of calendar events older than 45 days.* My Photon running gingerbread would sync events 12 years old.* I was told that if I am able to activate the Google Exchange server it will sync all events.* I was unable to get my S4 to accept the suggested configuration for Exchange Server with Google.* I've tried fixing the problem by setting to airplane mode, setting the clock back to 2000 on my phone, purging calendar storage and removing my Google account..* Then*turn on Wifi and add my Google account back in.* It still will not sync prior to 2013.* Is there a fix for this or a Calendar app that syncs the entire calendar to Google directly?*"*
