[Q] Main calender stops sync - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I have been using Hyperdroid for a while, and all is well.
After reading some articles on the new features in ICS, I decided to try a new ROM: Tytungs NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.3.
I resized the partitions, wiped data and cache and installed the ROM (Magldr).
I'm very please with the new features of ICS and all seems to be working find except for my calendar sync: Right after I enter my account details I see a message "unfortunately calendar has stopped". I can still open the calendar app and see all related calenders (I sync 5 calendars) except for my own - the main calendar defined for my own google account. My calendar shows as synced and displayed, but none of the calendar entries show up on the phone.
I was using second factor authentication, so have disabled it before restarting the whole setup procedure. As you guessed the problem still occurs. I don't see why the other calenders still sync as expected, but my own doesn't.
I would really like to continue using ICS, but without a trusted calendar sync I don't see myself doing this.
I've searched the forums, but found no posts about this particular problem - does any know how to solve this??

Are U using any firewall app (like DroidWall) on your device?

No, not yet (I would like to try it later to reduce my data usage) first want to get this running.
Funny thing is that the other calendars I'm syncing are on my phone correctly.
One more interesting fact: if I add a new entry on the phone, it appears correctly in my gcal.
Can't see what's happening :$

Any thoughts? First time using the device, facebook synced just fine. Since then Ive done a software wipe and now I cant get FB to sync my contacts anymore. It just keeps saying "Sync isnt available at this time"

I am having the same issue. It syncs the calendar fine, but not the contacts. I would like to have the Facebook profile pics sync to my contacts just like on my HD2. I had the issue before and after root so I know it isn't that.

still doesnt work?
Day two, still wont sync. I have facebook enabled in contacts, it just shows a group with 0 people in it. It syncs my calendar just fine, but wont sync contacts for some reason.
The strangest part is that it used to, but after I reformatted it wouldnt.
Ive tried; Deleting and re-adding FB account at least a dozen times, and Menu -> sync/cancel/sync/cancel brute force approach that worked with other phones.
my facebook widget stopped auto updating even though its set for like every 2 hours the last posts i see are from this morning.
in fact if i click the manual green sync arrows it attempts to sync but nothing happens.
i already have done a battery pull today.
My facebook and twitter contacts both won't sync. And I have two sets of twitter contacts, one from the widget and one from the twitter app.

Got that too, but mine sync at least... sort of. I had to manually link contacts that were first linked automatically when I first set up my phone.
Same problem wont sync. Checked of and everything
I'm having the same issue, i'm curious all of you who are having problems did you experience them after the root?
My contacts synced fine when I first got the phone but have since stopped syncing (if I check under accounts and sync in setting I see an error) This issue existed for me both before and after root.
Synced fine before I rooted but tbh the phone was unrooted for about 10 minutes after initial setup. The second I got home I rooted and wiped.

guys. read the message on your phone. it says "sync is down right now temporarily" when you try to sync and look at specific status. I'm guessing this is more a samsung or android thing than "your specific phone".
Right beneath manage accounts it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Notice the sync icon with the red exclamation mark next to it
I have not rooted yet, and I'm still having sync issues.
I really think they rushed getting the phone out to compete with the droid x, moving the release date up a week. Hopefully this issue, the gps/compass, and 3g get addressed in a OTA update soon. I saw the droid x was already scheduled to have one.

I had the same problem. It just starting working now. I did not do anything. they must have fixxed something.
Having this issue as well. The weird thing is that when i add Facebook to the accounts list in settings, it updates the feeds widget with facebook statuses, and they are also listed in the contacts app, that last menu that gives you the various social feeds. However it cannot sync the actual contacts, must have tried 15 times today.
I was reading on another forum that someone found a solution that seemed to be working for people, but only if you were able to get it synced before and in some way either removed the account or the contacts and cannot resync. This didn't work for me as I didn't fall under that category, but I hope this can help someone.
1. Turn on background sync in settings.
2. Go into the main contacts window, and instead of hitting accounts to check the sync or whatever, hit menu at the main screen and choose "Find Friends"
3. Tap on Facebook. If you were able to sync before, it should work. If you are like me and was never able to sync, the box will be greyed out.

I'm having a similar issue with my twitter contacts. I can manually add a few via the method offered above, but the account doesn't seem to find some of them (including my girlfriend's, which is particularly frustrating).

I had same issue with contacts sync with facebook images. But i found a work around. When you add facebook accounts and sync. Enable fackbook contacts and facebook contact images. Now it will dump all your facebook contacts to your phone, but it will categorize it. once you do that, it will link your say "gmail contact" and "facebook" contacts together, On the contacts that you have different nicknames, you can click on the contact and select linked contact, select facebook and choose your friends contact info and now my images matches. Looks better now. Hope i only have to do this once.
Good Luck and this is my first post.

Jorte stopped syncing to google

After I updated to froyo the sync from jorte to google stopped working. When i creat a new event in jorte it never shows up at google calendar. But i can see it in the stock android calendar. creating an event in stock calendar syncs to google ok. Jorte does sync from google calendar.
Tried reinstalling jorte, and also tried clear data in "calendar storage". still same problem..
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to JPC (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400 ) no tasks that are created with an third party app ar synced with Google
I use also some other Apps (Quickaddroid, Log 2 Calendar)
But no Task is synced. After editing with the Stock Calendar the Tasks ar synced but this cant be the Solution
Any Ideas?
Have also tried an Factory Reset and Disk cache wipe but no success.

So there is no chance to bring it to work with Froyo Beta?
Then i have to flash back and downgrade
It is Mandatory for me that Cal sync with everey app works.
No Workaround known??
Same for me, sigh.
No Workaround known?
has this been fixed yet?
- New events created in Jorte (use google calendar mode) -> not synced to Google calendar, but does show up on stock calendar
- New events created in stock calendar -> sync ok all Jorte, Google cal, Stock cal
- New events created in Google calendar -> show up in Jorte, stock cal
It seems like this problem is quite widespread, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. I'm having the EXACT same problem as described above and have found many similar issues posted on other boards, but no one seems to have an answer.
For the time being, I'm only using Jorte as a calendar viewer and entering events in my stock calendar. A bit of a nuisance, but that's the only way I can ensure everything's synced and showing up everywhere.
Okie dokie, I think I figured it out, at least in my instance of the problem anyway.
It was my task killer. I rarely turn my phone off and hadn't realized that it killed my Accounts & Sync process so when I restarted my phone I made sure to add it to my ignore list and VOILA, problem solved.
Hopefully most everyone else was experiencing the same problem and can fix it this way.

Touchwiz Calendar bug

I just upgraded to stock DDJP6 and have found two bugs in the stock Touchwiz calendar. I don't know if they were present in Eclair.
1) When you delete a single instance of a recurring event on the phone, the delete operation doesn't sync to Google. Deleting all instances works fine.
2) When you create an event on the phone, it adds yourself to the guest list. The guest list shows up empty on the phone, but it shows up on Google Calendar. "Going?" is marked as "Yes" already.
Is there a way to notify Samsung about the bugs? I googled but couldn't find how to do that.

Do you have automatic synchronization or manual (push)?
What happens if you try to sync manually after deleting single event?
About informing Samsung about the bugs: I highly doubt that you'll achieve anything. Have you tried to find anything with Google about similar/same problem? Is stock calendar even Samsung app or is it Googles?
Try searching android bugs here or try reporting the problem via some online form (something like this).
The app is Samsung and not Google's. The event doesn't get deleted in Google Calendar even if I sync manually after the delete. Other things like creating an event sync fine within a few seconds, even without a manual sync.

calendar wont sync

Hi, I tried searching for something like this on xda and I couldn't find anything. On my galaxy s2 the calendar app just doesn't sync with my Google mail account. I go into calendar it asks me to go to he Google account sync setting to sync calendar, even though the tick box for sync calender is checked, I click sync now anyway. After it has finished I go back to the calendar app, and it asks me to do the the same thing again. My contacts and even wallpaper form my old phone were synced propyl from my Google account but not my calendar. I just can't seem to find any reason why it isn't working. I've never had any problems like this before on my old rooted htc desire, where was flashing new roms weekly, so why on my galaxy s2. Would someone be able to help me please?
Just wanted to say I have the same problem, hopefully someone can help us.
I think it might be the Samsung social hub, together with the inability if kies to sync with google, and an assumption that you might want to use kies (or a lack of testing with the google calendar)
Try removing your social hub facebook account, and maybe deleting all the calendar data on the phone (under settings/applications/calander) so long as you are confident you have nothing stored locally without a backup.
I find the social hub facebook integration useless at the moment, since it doesn't hide declined invitations for me, so I'm going back to trying the google integration (which means i get birthdays spamming my calendar instead)

I have never used the Social Hub or Kies or even set any calender events on the phone itself but just clearing the calender data did fix the problem, and my Google calender events started syncing.
Thanks

Hi, i had the same issue and i am using a uk generic rom unrooted. problem seems to have corrected itself now. Wat seemed to cure it for me was to sync over my mobile network instead of wifi.

i also had this problem. i fixxed it within checking apps and delete the calendarfiles completely. after this the sync worked. its a problem of google, which have some android users (not only sgs2)

Default calendar not syncing with my gmail

I tried to sync with Google calendar from Settings/Google account, it says synced but when I go into the default Calendar app and refresh the calendar is still blank with no entries.
Did lot of settings and cleared data under Calendar in Apps and enabled/disabled and re-synced as well but nothing is working. Also followed this but it didnt helped either.
What can be done??
My phone calendar still shows just one test entry I had created.
Rest my phone is working fine.
I thought so too, but I found out that entries are just not marked. For example i have important thing on 09. of february (which i synced with google on my old phone) and it wasn't marked. I tried and tried everything, but the last thing I did is click on that date to realise the event is there and synced, but just not shown in color.
@nri_tech1183 as stated in your link you just need to clear data and cache for Calendar Storage app. Then enter Calendar app and wait a few seconds, all should be fine.
If issue isn't gone try another calendar app to see how it behaves.

I had to install Google Kalender first. After that I was able to enable the different calenders that I use in google. Now I have 2 calenders installed. I might just get rid of the Sony calender. One is more that enough...

from my changelog:
Google calendar replacing sony's (can't really get used to sony one, too laggy and slow!! plus to sync my birthdays it requires me to install the Google one first so i think it is time to replace it completely.. )

edit: if interested, to completely get rid of sony calendar you can just delete "SemcCalendar" and "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter" (not needed for Google Calendar) from /system/app
