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?

Yes to both!
Update: just unchecked the accounts & added back.
Lo&behold it works.
Thanks for chiming in.
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 have not made any changes to the settings but all of a sudden my phone is not consistently syncing with my gmail account. It only syncs every once in a while and it does not sync all the unread emails.
I have tried a reboot by taking the battery out.
Can anyone think of anything else I can do? Thanks in advance for the help.
Have you checked your Account Sync settings (Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync) yet? Any errors? Sometimes you'll see a red splat letting you know an account can't currently sync. Usually, this is just a temporary issue.
I'll wait to speculate anything else until you can post more info about what you're seeing in your Accounts & Sync settings.
No errors. No ideas.

Man, we're going to need some more info. Did it ever work? What does "once in a while" mean? There's no such thing as random...
It's worked for the last 4 weeks perfectly. My phone was getting gmail faster then the gmail app on my laptop.
Yesterday I received 25 gmails but it only synced one of them. Hmm, I wonder if it could be the new gmail "priority" email thing since the one email that did sync was a friend and the others may have been ads. But I don't see a setting for that.

Yeah, I'd look into that whole Priority Inbox thing. I'm not using that at all because I just don't need it - and I run my own business and still don't need it. It sounds like something "superficial" is at play here. If you weren't syncing you'd truly just not be syncing - or would have errors in the Accounts & Sync area.
As far as I can tell, the whole Priority Inbox thing is managed server-side - i.e. I don't see an option for it within the Android app. Considering no one else is having a similar issue (and those who are using Priority Inbox know what to expect, so they aren't seeing an "issue" on their phone), I would suspect a setting/configuration/option as the problem; and not an actual problem with syncing.
Keep us all posted though! What users expect from software and what software actually does, are two different things...
Thanks for the help. I don't think I did anything to resolve the problem. It just started working again. Maybe it was a gmail thing.
Thanks again.

I've noticed similar behavior once in a while.. i found that unchecking and rechecking the mail sync checkbox in sync settings will temporarily resolve it.. and it doesn't happen very often.
I've always thought it maybe had to do with me toggling the gsm only/wcdma gsm auto settings as I go to and from my house and/or the combination of manually turning mobile data on and off (all battery management exercises) so I just leave mobile data on now (still have always on data off.. this was going to be my next thing I tried if it kept up) and it seems to happen less often but still once in a blue moon it'll hang..
I also use priority inbox but haven't had any other evidence that led me to believe that this was the culprit.

Hi everybody howcome when I go in calendar and try to add a event it says you have no calendar? Can somebody help me. I download a calendar app from market gave me same message.

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?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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.
Just got my new replacement DX, having trouble. I got and add my facebook account to try and sync. When I go to Contacts>Menu>More>Manage Accounts> and click my facebook account, it has the login and says "remove account" then at the bottom it says OK and Cancel. OK brings me back. When I click on the google, it lets me sync.
How do i sync all of my facebook contacts if its not letting me?
Open your facebook app and go menu-settings and at the bottom should be sync contacts.

Thanks! I was having the same problem.
When I open the FB app then scroll down in the settings the last option I see is "Other Settings" but I cannot scroll down to it. It is like that is the end of the menu. I see no setting to do this All my contats still show their original picture when I first setup my phone and new friends do not get added.

Crobs,
I had a similiar issue and my fix was to remove the account, reboot phone and re-add the account and it synched up fine after that. I hope this helps.
None have worked thus far...

They do get added to my contacts, but that's not where I set them up at. I have had synch break a couple of times and had to re-set them up.

Randomly all synced... not *****ing lol
Fix for FB Contacts not Syncing
I have seen this in multiple forum sites. So I am attaching a fix that you flash through CW so that you can sync your contacts again. I hope this helps someone!

I'm having the same problem. My contacts don't sync fb pictures. Really making the contacts box boring. Running b00sted ICS build 2, which I must say is the nicest ROM i've ever flashed, even though it isn't perfect.
FYI - As of ICS leak 6.7.232, FB contacts/photo sync is working again! Upgrade to ICS and kiss this problem (along with tons of others) goodbye!

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!

This sync error occurs both for mobile data and Wifi.
And the sync errors only for contacts. Gmail, browser, photos, and calendar successfully synchronized.
I have tried to sign out then sign in again, but not works, still unable to sync for contacts.
Thanks anyway.

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.
Starting last night Gmail does not push any email to my phone. Any ideas what happened? Could I have stopped a process that it needs(not Gmail app)?
Did you check your settings? Not trying to be am a$$. Only reason I ask is cause Ive run the root process twice on my Note 3 so far. First time everything was fine. Second time I had to sign in tp google twice, and sync for gmail and other sync options weren't checked

I had this issue. I turned on WiFi and it started to push my emails. I turned it off and it seemed to work fine.
I tried it but it did not seem to work although I was not connected only had WiFi on.
I had this happen too. I had to go into gmail settings, and then click on my email addy. On this page go to the "manage labels" button and make sure your boxes are set to sync and notify. I use like 5 different inboxes so I had to enable sync for each one. It took me forever to find this and I was going insane trying everything to enable sync. I still have no idea what causes this activity.
I've had this happen on galaxy devices. I usually go to Gmail and clear and restore defaults then that usually fixes it. If not then go to accounts and sync and disable sync then re-enable it. One of those should work
