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.

How can I login to Android Market with a different Google account?

I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market without a problem. When I
first opened the market I logged in with my Google account to make sure everything
worked. Since I got this device for my dad, I'd rather he log in with his own Google
account. I've cleared the app data, and even deleted and re-installed. I can't get
the option to log in with a different google account and it stays with mine. Is there
a solution to this? Has anyone else experienced this?

Without access to the Account and Sync menu, I believe you'll need to uninstall and do a fresh reinstall of the market

I've uninstalled the market and re-installed with the apk. Or is there a more precise uninstall I should be doing?

In the Android development subforum here the long how to install market thread has reference to getting gmail to sync and those posts reference another thread with a link to a Sync Settings app. That will allow you to add another gmail account or delete one in addition to setting up sync items and auto sync. If I knew the post I'd gladly supply it but all I remember is where I found reference to the app.
Then just add your dad's email then subtract yours. Then to market and your set.

Worked great. I installed "Quick Sync Settings" from the market. Thank you for providing that link.

I just hit "menu" and added an account from the Market. Or maybe GMail. It was pretty simple, really.

The menu from the market app wash giving me the option. Not until I added another gmail account through the sync settings it did.

Hi I have a similar question but just about the amazon app store. I have been using a separate email account to buy apps than the one to buy all my kindles and books. Is there any work around to have both amazon.com accounts logged in or to keep the apps and books installed while I am on my other account or the other?
I have rooted the tablet and have my google market running fine so I might just have to stick to that.
Thank you

Can't you install Anycut from the android market, open it, create new activity, select accounts and sync or whatever the activity is called, and then go from there?
Additionally can you open the Gmail app, menu, accounts, add account...from here, go to the android market and then you should have 2 different gmail accounts to choose between?

Thanks for that. I tried it and it crashes the system. I actually have two account from google on my market, but my main problem is accessing the apps that are registered to my gmail account. Mainly because my kindle account is a separate email and every time you deregister the Kindle it deletes your books or installs the apps.

Anyone figure out how to remove the main gmail account without having to do a factory reset? I made the mistake of putting in an email address I didn't want to have added. I've already tried adding a second GMail account and removing the primary and got the prompt to factory reset.

Calendar sync

I have my KF rooted and the aneroid market installed and running, and Google apps installed. Is there a way to get my Google calendar to sync to my kindle?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

Which Google apps do you have installed, do you have your Gmail synced? That should allow you to sync your calendar
Go into your "Account & Sync Settings" and make sure calendar is checked marked

as far as i know you have to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to system/app - set permissions like the others and reboot - then gmail mail & calender sync should work ...

There is an account sync settings app you can get from the market, out it is included in the iffy utility. You also need the calendar sync adapter which you can get from another Android device or the iffy utility.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

there are a lot of settings on the kf we cannot access but there is a app on the market called "any cut" - with this app you can link the hidden settings to a shortcut on the desktop - any cut -> new shortcut -> activity -> Account & Sync Settings
there are a lot of others like keyboard, display, search ...

I tried the any cut app and now I have it all.set up. But I think you are right about the apks. Do you know where I can get them? And better yet..... what do I do with them? All I have done is root my kindle and followed the you tube video in how to get the market on my kindle.

I think the calendar files you're looking for might be in the gapps.zip file from this thread. Just follow the instructions.

Here's the sync settings app, install this and then you can add your gmail account and etc
I've also attached the Google Calendar in case you might need it, you can install all of them

Awesome! Thanks. It seems that I am no longer rooted?! Is it possible that while my 3 year old was playing around with my kf she unrooted it? Odd....my android marketplace still works, its just that root checker is saying I am no longer rooted. Will start from scratch in the morning.
Thanks again.

Hmmm, did you have root access after you received the 6.2.2. update?

There's no need to be rooted in order to install the apks I provided. You may have become unrooted because you finally received the newest update, it's possible I don't know if that is why though

You can have multiple Google accounts active so just add your old account to your phone. If you don't want contacts, calendar etc, just turn off all the syncs for the old account.

Yeah, because all the apps would be installed on the old account so just add it and untick all of the other sync options.

Why did Google exclude/remove Exchange Service apk from 6P?

I was able to set up Exchange account for Gmail on Nexus 6 but don't even have this option on 6P. I Googled this issue and someone said that I need Google's Exchange Service apk but it's not pre-installed on 6P (definitely was on 6). I downloaded one from mirror they provided and it seems to work now.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1729047-android-apk-download/
I actually could swear that I added this account to my phone as soon as I got it but now this account is simply missing (like the guy said in the last post)
Anyway, why did Google remove this option? Is there some issue? Is this the only workaround or is there a better/right way to do this?

Would recommend you to try Nine Exchange on Play Store instead!
My work has all of the stupid policies enabled and Nine just works wonderful without the need to password protect my whole phone aswell as I just have to password protect the app instead. With the Nexus Imprint you can also open the app with your fingerprint

+1 for Nine. Have been using it for a few years, it's by far the best Exchange client.
I think Inbox might also be an option, but haven't tried it.

Trying to stay with Gmail as I have had no issues until Google removed this support by default for some reason. It works good now as I manually added it.
I really like to have all my emails under same app and I'm used to Gmail.
Does Nine also add events to Google Calendar and integrates this account into Do Not Disturb Automatic Rules? That's another thing I love about Google's integration of Exchange into OS.
It's just strange that Google kept saying that Android are work "friendly" now and then they remove the "native" support for Exchange.

Nine ... Best money I've ever spent on an app. Truly Enterprise level Exchange email client for Android. Their support is phenomenal too. They've personally addressed multiple bugs and enhancement requests I've submitted.

Umm, my 6P on 6.0.1 has Exchange Services already installed. Settings -> Apps -> Three dot menu - Show system. Scroll down, its there. Maybe you didn't know how to add an Exchange account to Gmail? Gmail -> Side menu -> Little down arrow next to your Gmail account -> Add account -> Exchange.
Guess I don't see why you had to download some APK for this.

+1 for Nine, been using it forever. And yes, it integrates with Google Calendar.

Another ringing endorsement for Nine here as well. Phenomenal app and you can still fingerprint unlock the phone, as it's software-level security over device-level (your choice)
And I believe the reason the 'Email' app is gone is because they want us to use Gmail.

Interesting. I definitely did NOT have Exchange Services APK (I specifically checked and I remember it on Nexus 6). And no, I did not have the Exchange option in Gmail until I side-loaded that APK.
Could someone please check if this APK is "uninstallable"? That's the only thing I can think of..... that I manually uninstalled it when I got the phone. At the moment I can only disable it but since I side-loaded it, who knows how it's supposed to be by default..... hmmm, that's actually interesting that a side-loaded app can only be disabled now LOL.
Anyway, it works and I am happy.
Thanks!
