Not syncing any contacts or calendars on any accounts. I usually see the little double-arrow sync icon at the top after I hit the sync button in the settings, but I have not seen that in a long time. I power cycled the droid, I disabled and reenabled the sync settings and made sure all items were checked, I updated the profile and PRL in the system settings. I made a new gmail acct and added new contact and events but neither synced to my droid. I added a hotmail exchange acct and the contacts and calendar is not syncing. The status message is "never synced" but the email is syncing properly. When I go to calendar on the droid I only see the default gmail calendar, not the new gmail calendar or hotmail calendar. Called sprint but their troubleshooting steps basically consisted of power cycling, updating profile, factory reset. Factory reset is out of the question because if I do that I will lose all of my new data since the last sync, which could have been a month ago. I could really use some help. Does anyone have ideas? Thanks.

when i add contacts to my phonebook - how can i update them to my GMAIL account??
i tried doing UPDATE from the phone and nothing added to my GMAIL account
why is that so??
another thing -
how can i delete my GMAIL account from my phone? (i mean for my own settings like gmail address and password - lets say i want to sell my phone to other one.. without doing formats )
Don't know for the removing account, for the contact issue: Use google sync on your phone.
To remove your gmail account info, just do a "factory data reset" I believe it is in settings-sd card settings.
As for the gmail update, it should automatically do it, you need background data on and account sync, and obviously a connection to the network, either 3g or wifi
Hope that helps

Hi - I had this problem on my wife's HTC Legend - turns out that I'd inadvertantly set up the contacts as phone contacts rather than gmail contacts, so it wasn't syncing them.. I had to export them all and then reimport then as google contacts.. then it worked.
ok where can i set this settings ?
So, I started with a clean slate last night after finally getting my EVO rooted and since my Exchange server was down, I decided to sync my contacts and calendar via HTC Sync. However, today, the Exchange server is back online. Now I have duplicate calendar events and Contacts on my phone. How can I delete all my HTC Sync contacts and calendar events? I know I can Hide those items via VIEW, but I'd rather remove them completely from the phone.
Thanks in advance...
home screen, settings, applications, manage applications contact storage, clear data, this will clear ALL contacts, then just resync the exchange ones.
Saved me, thanks!
At first I wasn't able to re-sync my Exchange (unchecked and checked the boxes). However, removing the account and re-adding it did the trick.
Appreciate it!
Damn. Only if I knew this earlier. Thanks.
I thought it would be a great idea to sync my work outlook account with Google calendar via Google sync on the desktop.
I synced my outlook to Google calendar just find until I realized that there is no option to select a sub calendar so it synced thousands of events from my outlook to my primary calendar in Google.
Since my Google calendar account is also synced with my phone, my phone now has thousands of events with out the ability to toggle them getting my personal and work calenders all in one.
I went into Google via web, and deleted ALL events and wiped everything clean. I wanted my phone to also be clean. When I synced my phone the changes did not reflect what I did on the web.
I forced synced for the past 8 hours, and turned the phone off twice since then.
I found that it is syncing but not removing the old events. I change the calendar name in the web and it also changes it on my phone. But it never removes all those thousands of events off my phone.
Another test revealed that if I add an event on my phone, it will sync to the web.
If I add an event it will sync to my phone.
If I delete an event on my phone, it will delete it off the web.
Here is the issue, if I delete an event off the web, it does not delete it off my phone.
How can I remove these thousands of entries on my phone now?
I cannot remove my Google account and re-sync because when I tried it said my only option is to factory reset which I prefer not to do.
Thanks.
Try to change your google account password on web. When your phone won't sync then remove that account and add a new account but you can still use the same account name. I hope I make sense.

First, hello. First post, I'm an HTC Incredible owner (root, s-off, SkyRaider 2.2 ROM), and my wife just got a Droid2.
I'm stumped on trying to get her Google calendar to show up on her Droid2.
Accounts shows her Google account and when I tap it, it shows options for synch of email and contacts, but there is no entry for calendar like there is on my Incredible.
When I go to the option to add an account, there is no option to add a calendar to synch (not that I expected one).
So, basically, she has a useless calendar app, you can't even add entries, because it wants something to synch with first.
What am I missing?
That's strange. Sync Calendar is there on my Droid 2 and works fine. Has she set up her calendar through Gmail online yet? Might need to do that first.
Yeah, I thought that might be it, you're right, it is a new account.
I set up her calendar through Gmail on line and added one event about an hour ago.
Maybe I should just give it some time...or, maybe I need to delete her Google account on the phone and re-add it?
Yeah I would delete and re-add the account.
Yup, that did it...of course, I had to go through a full factory reset to delete that account, but after a bit of setup all over again, she's in business. Thx.
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.
