Did you create one from Google Calendar? Log onto your gmail account and create a calendar then sync it to your phone.
Lol sounds confusing. What about contacts I saved 2 but its not on my contacts howcome?

It happened to me when I first got my Nexus S. Even though I linked gmail and the calendar wouldn't allow me to add an event until a few days after using the phone while synced to Google account.
Sync Google account and do a soft reboot and if it doesn't work right away, let it run for a couple days. Give that a try. Good luck.

You can manually sync from the sync menu.

I bought my wife the new Nexus S 4g today. The guy at the sprint store helper her set up the phone even thought I did not want him too. Oh well it is his job. Thing is she had never setup Google Calendar because she had a BlackBerry before that. So when I got home I setup her Google calendar but it is not syncing to her new phone. When I go to Setting > Accounts & Sync > her google account there is not a Calendar option. What do I need to do I don't want to have to reset her phone. Are there any other options? Thanks.
Odd. Calendar should be one of the defaults syncs. Have you tried running the calendar app and see if the gmail account shows up there?

I had tried running the calendar app but nothing shows up I even enter an event online thinking may bring it down but nothing. If you try to add an event on the phone it just says "You have no calendars". It is almost like the phone did not sync all the way to her account. I really don't want to reset her phone to factory default and have her set everything up again. She would not want to do that. She has already change the wallpaper all the screens downloaded apps, and changed ring tones.
I meant open the calendar app, press the menu button, press More then on Calendars and make sure the gmail account is listed there.
Also, this might be a stupid question but you're connected with Wifi or mobile network (3G, 2G, etc) right? Your phone signal bars should appear green if you're connected to Google's servers. If it's not green, you won't be able to sync.
I go to Calendar app > More > Calendars and there is nothing there, just have an Ok and cancel button. I have been on 3g, 4g, and wifi and nothing on any of them. Yes the the bars a green at the top.
I doubt you need to reset to factory so not to worry about that. Maybe you just have to wait a day or two. Either that or bring it back to the store and have them figure it out.
Might do that thanks. Hopefully it will work itself out.
You can also try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.
already tried that

maybe you should try and get the stock calendar.apk and re-install it...???
Ok I talked to Sprint and they said that is easiest way was to make sure that the phone was backed up to Google and just do a Factory Wipe. Basically wipe the phone and start over. So I did and that fixed the problem. So anyone who gets a new google phone and does not have all the google apps setup do that before you get the phone activated. I hope someone finds a better way because that is a major oversight on googles part. But everything is working great now.

I had a similar problem. Then I just found out today that if you disable Google Talk from starting up (like everybody was advising to save battery life) then Gmail push does not work right. I let Google Talk start up now, and now my push services work... better.

So just go to settings in the talk app and have it automatically sign in? Will have to check his settings tonight and will report back if that fixes it. Thanks!

Make sure that data syncing did not get turned off either. You can also try to manually sync your accounts through menu-settings-accounts and sync. Then choose sync all
I had an identical problem where even manual sync stopped working for now reason.
I added a second gmail account with the same account info and the primary.
After I did that it was like it merged the two and it started working again.
I have to emails one is my school g mail the other my personal gmail. I used to have the school one forward messages to the other but that turned into a hassle. I was just wondering if there's anyway to easily switch from one email to the other. Like if there was a widget or something.
Thanks!

I guess you can use the gmail client for one account and configure the email client to get mails from other gmail account. I use both gmail(thru gmail client) and yahoo mail using the email client. Also I see options in email client to configure more than one account, but haven't tried it. I do not want a combined inbox for more than one account as it will be kinda messy. But you can explore that option too.
Settings - accounts and sync -- add account -- Google account

I know how to do this that isn't the problem. My problem is when I get an email I don't automatically which email I'm getting it too. I have to choose the account. I just wish there was a way to separate it right off the bat. Instead of having to go through settings-accounts-email 1/email 2.
Maybe its just wish full thinking.

Yeah, sorry but there's no way to do that. I think there was on 2.2 when I had a Nexus One but I can't remember. Or you could try Gmail Pop Up on the market.

I people disappoint me...
Google app for main account.
Exchange ActiveSync for the second google account.
Google "Google Sync"
Vibrant can manage multiple exchange accounts, so it will work even if you have another exchange account set up.
HTH!

Search the market for gmail unread count. Its a widget you can add to your desktop that looks like an icon for gmail and will show the number of emails you have unread for any and ever gmail account set up on your phone. Its very stable and quite customizeable. I have a diff color icon for each of my 3 accounts and it makes keeping track of unread mails and accessing the specific account I want very very easy.

Im not sure if this is what you want. But I also have two gmail accounts, and one quick way for me to go into the right Inbox, is I created a shortcut for each Inbox, using the Gmail Label shortcut, when you create the shortcut, it will ask you which account you would like to use. Then you can rename the shortcut for each inbox to whatever you want, then from the Home screen just click on whatever Inbox. I hope that helps.

Anyone have problems setting up a second Google Account? I've been trying for a few days and keep getting a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error. I've tried both on WiFi and 3G, in different locations( home, at work, out and about), and still can get my second account linked. I did some digging the settings and found the multiple sign in options, turned all that on, and am able to sign in to both account on the web, but still not on my phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Same issue. I was able to do this at one point but after JI6 bricking my phone and getting it back with ODIN I have never been able to add multiple accounts. Hopefully someone here has an answer.
Does anyone know how to set up a school account on gmail (my university uses the gmail interface but has its own log in portal). I cant seem to log in through gmail.com (on the phone and desktop browser)
So this morning, everything was fine, all contacts were there.
I charged my phone and an hour later, picked it up, a few contacts were missing (like my dad and home and such).
Synced it and still nothing?
I went into my gmail and all the contacts are still there, but not showing up on my phone
I've had that problem... Go to accounts and async and make sure google is there. My google account had erased itself, just ran htc setup and re entered google info

Had the same problem - rebooted phone - contacts came back.
Google was still in Account & Sync
I had to manually add it for now =\
I thought something similar had happened to me, but what had happened is another account synced with that contact and arranged it "last name,first name" and so it was in a completely different spot than usual.

Any1 having issues with their Google Calendar not syncing?
This is my first Nexus 7 - 32GB
OS - 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Stock
Can't get any entries onto my N7 calendar widget.
Is it a 4.1.2 issue or my user error?
Did you enable calendar sync in /settings/accounts/Google?
Is your Gmail account ticked in calendar/settings/calendars to display?

Slight different problem I am having...
In settings -> accounts -> google, there is no calendar entry despite the fact that I have installed calendar from the market.
When I go to sync in the calendar app, it shows my google account, but clicking on that shows 'no calendars'. I don't know why it's not working as it syncs just fine to my phone, so I don't think it's a sharing or permission error.
Anyone with a suggestion?
Similar problem
Hey I'm experiencing a similar issue, my google calendar won't sync, tells me to add an account and when I do says it has already been added. If I try to add a new entry the app force closes.
Bough the N7 yesterday, have been using google calendar on my phone just fine. Tried resyncing but no joy. Any solutions out there for this?
Found a solution if anyone comes here with a similar problem, turns out the calendar was not visible, just click on today's window in the app and make sure all the accounts are white rather than tan. Wow, do I feel silly hehe

Hi, I am not a super-user, but also not quite a noob. I've rooted devices and feel I'm relatively competent. I am only mentioning this to simply clarify who's asking, because I am not at all clear on these instructions.
I missed a doctor appointment because my phone (which had all my appointments) did not sync to my N7. Oddly, it did sync some (when, I don't know). I've tried everything I could think of. I've only had the N7 for about 2 weeks, and have found the menu options lacking.
To be clear, my phone has the data. The N7 does not. All boxes have been checked on both Google accts. And, as one does in a situation like this, I unchecked and rechecked them to no avail.
Thanks for the help and everyone's suggestions.

Trying to help a friend and I don't want to make a mess of his phone. What happens when I "uncheck" the google accont? Does it erase his user completely with pictures and contacs and so on?
I'm unable to sync my Google Contact from the last 2 weeks.
And I've been try some Rom like JellyShot, TSM, greenblue's Rom, rasbeanjelly, but the error still occurs.
Anyone has the same experience?

Does it happen via data or WiFi?
Or both?
Did u verify that they didn't sync by going to desktop site to actually see if they didn't actually sync?
Is it all Google accounts, or just certain ones....
contacts, gmail, voice, pictures, books... etc?
Worse case, sign out and resign in to see if helps

From time to time I have problems with contacts not displaying the pictures and/or numbers etc.
I clear the data for the "Contacts Storage" in Apps and then re-sync. Maybe you could try that and see what happens - Just make sure that you can correctly see your contacts in Gmail on your PC or laptop first and they are backed up!

maybe your contac database at gmail was corrupted make another gmail account and copy your contacts to the new gmail and try your phone with the new gmail to sync.
I seem to be seeing after looking that I have the same issue. So I did a couple things like signing in and out and that didn't work. I backed up my contacts and deleted my contacts and that didn't work. However I did find something that works.
1. Export your contacts to SD card so you don't lose anything.
2. Go to Settings and find your Google Account and uncheck Contacts to sync.
3. Go to Settings/Apps slide over to all apps.
4. Go down to Contacts. Force stop and clear data.
5. Go to Contact Storage. Force stop and clear data.
6. Go back to your Google Account and recheck Contacts to sync.
At that point you should notice it takes a few seconds longer to sync but when finished showed it completed. If you lose any contacts actually in the Gmail remember you exported your contacts so you still have them.
To export contacts:
Go to Contacts, hit Menu, then click Import/Export and save to SD card.
I recommend exporting contacts on a reasonable basis anyhow uncase anything happens to the phone and/or Gmail so you still have a hard copy on your SD card. You can never be to sure.
I hope this helps and remember to thank me by clicking the thanks.
Edit: I'm also finding if you are running HaxSync that the problem happens more. May be a bug.
Great alternative to HaxSync is Facebook Contact Sync. Link Below:

Another great alternative to HaxSync is Facebook Contact Sync. I will update my above post with the Play Store link.
It happened for me also with Haxsync when I used the upload pics back to Google option. I unselected it, readded the Google account and it was fine again.

I can say without a doubt that HaxSync causes this problem. 3 phones now this has happened with and I can reproduce it.
