I have searched around a bit and saw one other person mention this, but didn't see any comments on why or a solution.
I installed the latest version of Google Exchange Services so that I could have my work account in the Gmail 5.0 app. The Google Exchange Services works great with the exception of one issue. While the contacts sync through the exchange services, they are read only on the phone. If I sync the contacts through the native Exchange Services on the phone, I am able to edit the contacts.
Is there a setting I am missing on the phone? Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
I am using a Galaxy Note 4 running Lollipop.

I recently upgraded to Froyo and am now having serious problems with synching calendar items which were created on the device by third-party applications. To be more precise I used Call Log Calendar until now to log messages and calls to a dedicated Google Calendar. The entries do appear on my i9000 but never get synched to the online version of the calendar - unless I open them with the integrated calendar app and save them once (without changing anything). The author of the programm actually confirmed that this problem exists under Samsung's version of Froyo (due to a change/bug in the calendar api). All third-party programs should be affected. Could someone please confirm this?
I can confirm this after just checking my "Call Logs" work calendar and seeing zero events since upgrading to Froyo. Forcing a sync didn't change anything, either. Nuts.
maybe try re-adding your user account to the phone to sync with Gmail account
then forcing a sync, and see if successive syncs are automatic or not
You can't remove a primary Google Account unless you do a factory reset. However, I did even that. Still doesn't work. I'm loosing faith in Samsung....
samsung / google are 2 separate entities
how can you blame samsung when it's google account sync that is not working?
now if more than 51% of the XDA owners of SGS have the same problem, then we can say it's a samsung problem
but when most of the owners have no problem syncing their phones with google, then it just leaves to be a problem with the specific unit you are using, or something to do with your account
there was a trick some one mentioned on another topic to fix bugs in google accounts
you have to login to youtube or link up your gmail account with the youtube account, then it'll fix whatever was the problem that was preventing you from syncing.
i had a similar issue before and it worked indirectly, i actually found out it was a problem with the name of my account that google didn't like, according to youtube
Hi,
is it possible to create a local calendar on defy without creating a google account or add a google account in android?
So we can use the android calendar 2.2.1 as a local calendar?
Can we create the database an use it or must there be a google account insert in android?
Andy ideas?
Possible?
Big thanks
dont think you can effectively use it without a google account as the android market requires one, for the minimum.
however, you can disable calendar sync so it essentially becomes a local calendar.
if you rooted, you can even remove the calendarsyncadapter.apk to make sure it cannot sync with google.
Try Jorte instead of Google Calendar. It have local database.

I know this is quite old already. Yet this suggestion is quite useless to me, so the question of the TO is still not quite solved: To get Jorte you need a google account again (to access the market/play store). Any solutions? There is no market on my device/rom, and I'm not eager to install one either.
Thanks, MW
I am running the GPE 5.0.1 ROM by @Danvdh and I'm having a problem syncing to my new work email account. I haven't had exchange on this phone before so I don't know if its a problem, or just not possible. In my searches it looks like I might need a few different apps, but that's why I here asking.
I have installed "Bluemail" and added my MS Exchange account info. Email syncs fine, but I'm trying to get my contacts (google) to sync with my work email, along with my calendar. The rom doesn't have a calendar installed by default so I installed "Business Calendar", but I'm not married to it at all, and am more than willing to switch to get it to sync. I also tried "Nine" email app but it doesn't seem to be syncing contacts TO Exchange, (maybe just from it?) And I don't know where its trying to sync the calendar to, but it doesn't appear to be working either. I hope this is all possible because on my old work phone (iPhone) everything would sync up easily and I really don't want to go to an iPhone.
Soooo, I've been using the Gmail app for my work's exchange on my HTC One, but after receiving my S7 edge yesterday and attempting to setup exchange on the app, I noticed there is no option for it? The only way I can setup exchange on this phone (w/o downloading Outlook I suppose) is to set it up on Samsung's native email app... Anyone else notice this? Kind of BS if you ask me. The Gmail app is better IMO for my email needs.

Download the latest version of Exchange Services from here - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/exchange-services/
You'll have to enable unknown sources for install. Close the Gmail app before install, reopen and add account, and you'll find Exchange access there.

Same here. I am getting the dreaded "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly." message when it is trying to sync the calendar. Emails have been coming through just fine the past couple of days but the calendar does not seem to be synching properly. I also get this error message when it tries to sync contacts as well but I'm not as concerned with the contacts. I've tried several workarounds that are out there on the web but I have stopped short of doing a factory reset, which I would prefer to avoid if possible. Has anyone tried the factory reset option and can confirm that it actually resolves the issue?
I am wondering if the issue may be a bug with the latest version of the Exchange Services apk that we are using (5.0.106634657).
I just decided to run my email through Gmail but use MS Active Sync for Calendar.
Has anyone had any success with the Gmail Calendar sync issue yet?
I may have to go the MS Active Sync route.
You could also set up the account in the default mail app, and turn off sync for everything but the calendar. I'm using that app to sync my exchange account, and everything works.
Hello,
I am searching for a solution to a strange problem. Recently switched from a Samsung s5 (Marshmallow) to Moto G5+ (Nougat). For some reason, this OS does not recognize my Outlook account for Google Calendar to access. All it currently sees is my Gmail account. Even though I have added it, all the Accounts show in Setup are my FB, Twitter, Yahoo, and Google accounts. No Outlook. When I go to add it I get, "This email address is already connected with Outlook. Do you want to connect it again with another service?"
Outlook app works just fine in recognizing the account. Outlook Agenda widget works. But I prefer the look of Google Calendar widget. And I was able to get two Outlook accounts and a Gmail account to work on previous system's Google Calendar. Just can't get it to work on the new.
Did I run across a bug, or just user error? Any advise on getting this working again would be greatly appreciated.
