Yesterday my gf said she wasn't getting all of her Google calendars synced on her phone. She has her gmail calendar and a couple from work that are shared. So I cleared the calendar memory, now none of the gmail calendars will sync, but the exchange calendars does. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I've run into this problem as well. Here's what I've come up with:
First, have her log into her main Gmail account and go to the calendar. She'll have to select (on the left, you know like 'checking' them almost) whichever calendars she wants to sync with.
Once she does that, you'll need to clear out all settings on your phone. As in, wipe data from the calendars. Once that's done, go into the Calendar settings and re-sync. You'll then see the calendars re-appear when you choose which ones you want to show up on your phone's calendar.
Hope that made sense, this has worked for me.
You rock! Thanks my friend! Gave you a litle "Thank you".

No problem. I had literally just done that process no more than 20 minutes before you had posed that question. Glad it worked for ya.
I have no trouble getting it to sync with calendars I manually add in iCal format. The problem I have are the optional ones that Google provides. Specifically the NFL football schedule ones. My phone doesn't seem to want to pick that calendar up at all.
When they're listed on the main calendar page, are they colored like your accounts you can sync to?

Yep. I tried searching for the problem and apparently it has nothing to do with the phone in particular, but the format Google puts their sports calendars in. Lame move by Google. Also saw that an alternative option is to use Yahoo's sports team calendar. Just tried it out and works like a charm.
I have the same issue with all sports calendars...apparently its not just the epic or android..but a problem on the iphone too

PC Sync
I just flashed the Revolution HD 3.6.1 from 3.6.0 and now my stock calendar widget and calendar app only allow me to sync the "pc sync" calendar option. Neither of my Gmail calendars even show up in the list of calendars to display. I've done everything from clearing the data in the settings menu, I've checked my calendars online. Any idea what I can do to sync these?

Hi all,
playing with the Hero. I am syncing my google calendar with my Hero and anything I add to the google calendar gets sync'd down to the Hero, but if I delete something on there Hero it doesn't seem to delete it on google calendar or if I add a new date on the hero, it doesn't seem to put it in google calendar.
Any tips?
Thanks all.
worked one bit out. I need to make sure when I add the appt, it is added to the correct calendar, not the local Hero one. Now to sort the deletion bit
I can now add dates on the hero and they appear on google calendar.
Sorted it out, I think
you make the forum redundant

How did you solve the problem?? I have the same problem, if I create a calender event in the Hero it get synced correctly to the google web calender, but if I delete it in the Hero it will not get deleted in the google web calender.
Note that if I instead delete it in the web calender if works so the problem is only when you delete an event in the Hero.
Thanks for pointing this out... I never noticed that you need to select the correct calendar or nothing gets synced to Google and thus back down to my Mac.
Anyone know how to make a particular calendar the default or if you can delete 'My Calendar' and the 'Outlook Calendar' ? Neither of which I would use.
cheers

The mobile remembers the last calender you selected so once you added an event to the google calender it will be the default calender.
Ah, thanks.
Just recived a mail from HTC Supoort that they can confirm that this is a bug in the HTC Hero calender, so I guess the solution is either to try to remove the Hero calender an installa the standard one or to wait for an update from HTC :-(
hmmm... doesn't seem to sync deleted events at all to Google. Better ensure that any deleted events are done online or on the Mac/PC Google synced calendar.
Did they say when it will be fixed ?
you can also hide the outlook and my calendar
in calendar, press menu and then calendars
here you can untick the my calendar and outlook.
and JesperDS is correct, it should remember the last one you selected when you created an item and automaticlly default to that one the next time you create one.
It does indeed remember the last calendar used
Hi,
I have just noticed that despite having events in my Google calendar which go back many months/years (e.g Annual Leave or Shifts worked), my Hero doesnt seem to sync anything prior to Mid July 2009 in its calendar.
All that appears prior to mid July is peoples birthdays.
Anyone got any ideas how I can set it to synce EVERY event/item in my Google calendar going back several years??
Cheers

Google calendar sync stopped
It started with Wi-Fi and now the same error message comes with gprs too.
The message is: "Calendar Storage has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
This comes after 15 sec use.
This is something I didn't have with 2.1 on the Hero. I have my Exchange calendar, which is the only one I want to use. However, with Facebook for Sense logged in (same as I had on the Hero), it shows up in my main calendar (birthdays, events, etc).
Any way to remove only the Facebook calendar sync, without getting rid of Facebook sync all together?
Open up calendar then hit menu then more then calendars. Here you will have all your calendars and can uncheck the ones you don't want to see.
I hate that too. I ended up turning it off because I don't want all my friend's birthdays on my calendar. I'd like to have their pictures when they call, but badly enough to deal with the calendar thing.

Hi guys!
I just bought my SG and I have it setup with my exchange server at work.
I noticed when first used the calendar I had to setup a google account to use it? Why i gods name would I want a google calendar when I have exchange?
I also noticed when I create a new appointment on the phone I always have to choose which calendar I want to use.
The "my calendar" is always by default. Is there a way to change default calendar to my corporate calendar?
Or even better, delete or disable my calendar and google calendar and only use my corporate account?
Thanx in advance
I've got the same problem, however I am using Google Calendar with 2 calendars. "My Calendar" is always the default, there doesn't seem to be a way to delete it.
Anyone have any ideas?
bump, bump.....
Anyone any idea about how to change the default calendar ?
The "My Calendar" is the phones calendar, so u will not be able to delete it and I cant see a way how to change the default calendar. Cause when u make an appointment in the phone, firstly it needs to put it to the phones calendar and then sync with other calendars.
Just set a sync with exchange calendar and it will send the appointments from My calendar to your exchange calendar.

Hi Mikulec, nice to see you here in the galaxy fora
Thanks for the explanation. But... I use google calendar and I want all my local appointments sync with my google account. Unfortunately when I enter a appointment in the local "my calendar" it doesn't sync with google. I have save the appointment explicitely to the "google calendar". (which is a hassle)

Looks like u are right. The sync only works when u make appointment in google calendar via web, it then sync with google calendar on your mobile, but its not happing the other way (from mobile to web).
So u have to save the appointment to google calendar and not to my calendar. Which is as u said hassle but it is kind of obvious. Because when u make an appointment in mobile and save it to my calendar and then it will sync with google calendar, u will have double appointments, u will have to disable the showing of my calendar in the settings.
So that means we will have to live with this "functionality".
it works perfectly for me, Google Apps are my #1 office tools, i hate Outlook with passion!

Never put my Calendar items in the clouds, I'll like to keep them in my hands. Never use Google Calendar or similar.

But, do you save each calendar entry made on your sammy to your google sync then?
i sync my outlook to google calendar, this way i have both of my devices in sync
Android + PC + Windows Mobile
I've no secrets to keep, so i don't mind having my stuff on the clouds.
but anyone being paranoid about having stuff on the google servers, can always use their own home/office server for that kind of stuff.

I don't have a problem with that also. But the question remains: have you find a workaround for the problem described above

i only use 1 calendar account, so i don't have that problem the OP has
from the calendar program, click the menu button, then select settings, then Calendars. from here you should be able to select and deselect calendars.
try this. does this make whichever calendar is remaining the default one for new entries?

Sadly not, I only have my google calendar selected, the my calendar is unchecked, yet when I create a new entry the my calendar is still the default calendar, annoying to say the least.
Calendar sync
I've been able to get the exchange sync working except for one thing - the calendar appointments are a half hour early? The time zone/time is correct on the phone, and the appointment times appear OK on an iPhone. Any ideas? Other than that it was a dream to get the exchange account set up (gotta love staff that buy unsupported corporate phones then want support)!

Did you get the google calendar working from mobile to web ? If so, what's the resolution ?
I've been banging my head against the exchange-SGS for about 72hrs now.
Coming from an WM sony X1 I was gutted to find no 'perfect' exchange on SGS. I now have my exchange a/c, 1x pop3 a/c and a hotmail a/c just about sorted now. I've found that the stock SGS calendar can be a bit iffy on calendar appointments so I removed the account, then re-installed it but with out the calendar being sync'd. I've un sync'd the calendar from the 'must have' google a/c. I'm now running touchdown just to bring in the calendar from my exchange a/c. K9 mail looks after my other pop3 & hotmail a/c.
Although nice and big the SGS calendar is i've found pure calendar widgets best for my home page at present. Its a shame that I've had to cough up dosh just to do what a WM phone does best.
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.
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?

OMG THANK YOU! Lost a bunch of appointments when I went to DK28, and this fixed it!
You know i dont think i read things correctly the 1st time, either that or i should have tried it a 2nd time because by GEORGE IT WORKED. AWESOME!!
Had all my calendars except 1 before i tried the 'fix'... then did the fix...and lost all my calendars...
i dunno what i did but i got one of them back... 1! .... but still not all of them.. later im going to try to replace the calendar apk file

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!!
