Hello,
I am having trouble syncing my google calendar to my galaxy S4. When I go into Settings > Accounts > Google, the box is checked to sync calendars. When I open up my calendar, I have it selected to show my google calendar attached to the my gmail account, but nothing appears!
Thanks,
Megan

I've been fighting with this feature and still didn't figured out the problem pattern.
Some calendars that I create online don't show up in the Samsung Calendar App.
I managed to export/import the events from the ones that don't show to the ones that show. But I would like to pinpoint this problem.
I installed another calendar app (Gemini) just to check. The app can show all the calendars unlike the samsung calendar app, but the events are still missing from those calendars that Samsung app hides.
Anybody experienced this?
I just flashed to JM6 and tested this right away. The problem still exists.
Your Samsung Calendar app syncs flawlessly with Google Calendars?
What is happening? Nobody has this problem?
There is no setting that prevents the calendars to sync with the phone. What could be happening here?
In calendar app, try Setting > Calendar and tick on your google account.
I wish it was that simple
Anyhow after scrubbing the web I found the solution. It's not that hard, now that I know how. This could be used for a lot of sync problems that have no apparent reason:
goto Settings > Accounts & sync > tap your gmail account > uncheck Sync Calendar
now,
goto Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > menu > Filter > all > Calendar > Clear data
back out to the Applications list and go into Calendar Storage > Clear data
This should wipe out everything in your calendar. Now go back into your gmail account and re-check Sync Calendar
Voilá!!!!! It works. I'm happy.
What a star!
I had this happen for the first time today, glad you sussed it for me
I have problems with my calendar. In my google calendar I have more than one calendar on my own, and a couple of shared calendars - but on my galaxy I can only get it to sync ONE of my own calendars, and ONE of my shared calendars.
Does this happen to anyone else.
what are you trying to sync?
i can sync all my calendars and contacts via the Samsung Community Apps
I'm trying to sync to the stock calendar app.
go to settings > accounts and sync
make sure all your accounts listed have a green circle and edit each of them to make sure the sync options are Checked in green
some times they go grey, if they failed too many times
The problem is that they are not all listed.
Apparently other calendars that I can download also use the built-in sync, so my extra calendars are also missing there.
all my addons calendars like holidays and stuff shows up in the sync-ed calendar on the phone
all i do is select whatever i want from google account, then it syncs everything in it
Looks like calendar sync with facebook is having a bug.. I can't find the solution anywhere Here is what i did:
1. I tried to add my facebook account to be synced.
2. After it's finish syncing, I saw that all of my friend's birthday are added to "My Calendar" instead of "Facebook" calendar. I have already tried to uncheck all of my calendar except "My Calendar", but all of my friend's birthdays are still there!
3. I removed my facebook account from my account management, all of the facebook contacts are gone, but the birthday events remained in "My Calendar"
4. Added my facebook account to be synced again
5. "My Calendar" now contains duplicate birthdays event
Have anyone met this problem before?? It's a madness to delete 400 event * 2 = 800 (duplicated) manually.... Any solution is appreciated..
I have exactly the same problem. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?
Funny that I can't find anyone complains about this problem..
Turns out this is a feature for Galaxy S' TouchWiz "Contacts" feature. The feature is to automatically add your contact's birthday to the calendar. Tried it out on my friend's HTC Legend, add birthday to the "People" app, nothing is added to the calendar. Since the facebook contacts are coming with birthday info, those birthdays will be added to your calendar as well...
Can't seem to find a workaround yet.. What I did is to clear the Calendar Storage data, which means all of your events saved to your calendar will be erased as well. Another workaround is to always add your own event to your GMail calendar, and hide your "My Calendar"..
Hope they will fix the on froyo..

The work around is to not use the Touchwiz crap and use the facebook app from the market, which has a PROPER contact and calender sync. It gets confusing though because after you install it you now have two facebook providers, one from Samsung and one from Facebook, in your sync setup, and you have to pick the right one.
I really hate the Social Hub BS... I wish it could be uninstalled, all it does is duplicate a bunch of stuff already available in Android, except poorly.
I only use it for phone numbers with facebook and gmail account and I check "Only show contacts with phone number" and for duplicated I went to gmail contact and applied "Find & Merge duplicates".
Maybe you could try:
Turn off facebook calendar sync, sync your calendar with google calendar, go to google calendar on computer and delete it

the birthday is added to "My Calendar", not your "google" account's calendar.. so syncing it won't enable you to delete it from computer..

-_- You can sync birthday with "my calendar" and you can sync "my calendar" to google so birth goes to google calendar !! Facebook > My calendar > Google Calendar then if you delete under Google Calendar the phone will sync.
The sync with android is in the contacts app under "Activities" press add account (only worked for me on JPC)

lol sorry nobbie here how do you sync "my calendar" to google?? do you mean i have to edit the event 1 by 1?
Open my calendar> press menu button> More > Settings > Calendar Sync> Under manage account turn off facebook calendar sync (for the time of deleting everything)
tap on you gmail account check sync calendar > wait for sync then go to google calendar this page https://www.google.com/calendar/b/0/render (settings in top right then calendar settings > calendar tab) and delete your default calendar it will not delete it but the events in it
Wait for phone to sync or try Menu > More > refresh
Then you can turn facebook sync back on
Done ^^
I have 4 different google calendars... Birthdays, Class Schedule, Assignments, and my regular personal Calendar. I want to be able to sync all of the calendars with WP7 but everywhere i've looked says it can only be done by syncing the calendars to outlook, then syncing outlook to the phone.
Has anyone figured out a way to do this without syncing it to Outlook? I already have an Outlook calendar for work and merging the two and not being able to differentiate them would just be a big mess...
Setup a google mail account (for each account of course)
Go in those accounts to settings > sync settings > and tick the option "calendar" where you will also find the option for mail and contacts
All the calendar items will appear in the calendar of WP7. Or at least, this is how it works for me
Edit:
Somebody might put some additional notes to this, as i have no idea if the calendar that is used is automatically the outlook calendar?
depends on if u haave a google account for home and another for school like some colleges use the google apps domain to host their email and calendar ervvices you can set this up by going to settings email and accounts then add an account hit google and enter your full email and password even though it says username that threw me off the first time too so im just telling you now
I have an exchange and a google account set up in my device and when I access one of my calendar apps, I can see my appointments from both accounts there.
My question is, how can I sync my exchange appointments to my google calendar from my android to my google web account? I've tried everything I could have think of but no luck so far.
This is the status:
Google Calendar -> Android OK
Android (Calendar) -> Google Calendar OK
Exchange -> Android OK
Android (Exchange) -> G Calendar NOK and not cool
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers.
anyone?
