I'm using stock calendar for reminders.
When I save a reminder, it usually wont work like it is not set at all.
I said usually because it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work.
Very unreliable!
I gave permissions and set calendar notifications in settings. Same thing.
I've tried business calendar app. Same thing.
Can anyone help?

My HTC calendar widget has stopped working it just shows the "Loading" text and even if you go into the calendar app no events are present. Going to Sync/Accounts and selecting my Google account shows the circular arrow next to "Sync Calendar" - not sure if this means it is trying to sync, but it is there all the time and the arrow is not animated. I don't think this is to do with the Calendar app specifically, since if I use the Google widget nothing shows up there either.
Occasionally, it will work after I reset the phone, but otherwise it is mostly stuck in this state. Any tips on how to diagnose the problem or how to get it working again?
I have the same issue. I found out that when I am also using the Exchange ActiveSync calendar account sync - the calendar's functionality malfunctions more often.
I too have yet to fully understand the root cause for this isseue.
One thing, though, when calendar is stuck in syncing, it consumed a lot of cpu and it blocks other apps from working properly.
I would really appreciate more comments regarding this issue.
Thanks!
Does anything sync and do you ahve the sync service running?
It sometimes works, sometimes not. When it does, UK Holidays, Facebook and my standard Google Calendar syncs, but other calendars on GC do not. They show up on the calendars list fine, but they are not displayed. Actually now looking at it, it seems it may just be loading a cache of previous information, since there's events on the calendar that I've sinced deleted. The sync service I'm pretty sure is running, called Sync and Accounts under OSmonitor? That one's running. Everything else on my phone (Friend Stream, mail, weather) syncs fine, it's just this damned calendar.
I hadn't noticed the Exchange ActiveSync calendar prior to this - it was set to sync even though I don't have anything on it. I have since disabled it and it seems to have improved slightly, but the calendar still shows up calendars list. I've emailed HTC about this, hopefully they'll have some idea of how to fix it.
Ok quick update - HTC emailed me telling me to clear the cache. Having done so (and disabling ActiveSync which I wasn't using anyways) my calendar seems to be working. Anybody with this problem might want to try this and see if it works.
Same as you, I had lot of sync problems with Exchange. It was completely unreliable, until I discovered Laurie's blog !
http://laur.ie/blog/2010/09/exchange-2010-sp1-sync-with-android-froyo/
I installed the Google stock 2.2 email apk (as described in the blog) and after few minutes my calendar was fully synchronized and I receive emails in push. That's great
I am not sure that would solve your issue but it is worth trying it.
(make sure to delete the HTC exchange account).
Hope this helps.
The standard calendar app doesnt show all calendars. If I add new calendars though there are shown in the standard Calendar app.
Weird enough some third party apps do allow to select all other gmail app calendars, but they are marked as inactive?
How do i get teh calendar to sync all Gmail Apps Calendars?
Weird, when I go into the calendar settings and click calendars, all of them show up.

With google calender the first time the sync occurs, it happnes with the calenders that are enabled google calendar on the web.
Here is what u can do .
1. Go to google.com/calendar and make all the calendars visible
2. In phone - settings /manage applications delete the data from calendar and calender storage.
3. then settings / accounts and sync - re sync calendar.
Now all the calenders will come in calendar app in phone.
Select the ones that u want.
Thanky you
I tried your method of deleting the data and then re-syncing the accounts. But, now even the main calendar from my google account has disappeared and refuses to show up. Is there something missing here??? Cal widget for example shows all the calendars in its configurations but does not show any of the events from the same.
there is something wrong with the default calendar. I am running stock rom xxki3.
Hi, I had similar issue, i think this is one of known issue on android, I tried "clear data" method, sometimes it may work, sometime it doesnt. I google for solution and I found this temporary workaround would solve the issue, atleast for me..
you may want to try this:-
1. Go to android setting, application (all), clear data on calendar storage (WARNING-this step will wipe all calendar entries which were saved internally on your phone)
2. Go to market, download & install this app called: Business calendar (FREE)
(This app have direct connection to google calendar, which will also download and keep all of your calendars entries (including sub calendars)
3. Open business calendar, login with your gmail account, and it will start sync
(manual: more > sync now) it may take few mins, be patient.
this way, your stock or default calendar will get synced as well automatically...try this out
Thanks for the tip. After selecting the sub-calendars on the app, the default calendar also started recognizing the same. Weird.....
This tips is working.
First time, this doesn't work, I had to erase my google account (by the way to refresh my apps ^^).
But the second time, it worked.

I think this is a bug in Samsung Calendar app. The first time the phone synchronize with google calendar, the phone will download all calendars available for the google account. Each calendar has two flags, sync and visible. The first time, all calendars will be flag unsync and hidden (not visible) except our main calendar. After that we can use the calendar app to choose which calendar will be sync and visible. The problem with Samsung Calendar app, if the calendar is flagged as hidden, then the Calendar apps won't recognize the calendar at all, so we can't change the flag to visible. This does not happen with my other phone. So this is not Android bug. I think this bug exist since Samsung Galaxy S. Someone in Galaxy S use sql editor to edit the calendar database. Meanwhile I use Calengoo. Bussiness Calendar can be used as well
OK, had the S4A for about a week. Lots to like coming from my S2, but a few niggling things that irk me.The main one is the e-mail app notifications. I had the combined Inbox on my S2, but all it ever showed me on the widget was when there were new e-mails. For some reason, the S4A also combines the new text messages count into the e-mail widget icon making it look as if there are new e-mails. Even if I read the text messages they still pop up in the widget count until I also delete them through the e-mail app. This is annoying as hell, obviously. Is there any way to turn this behavior off? I only want to see a message count on the e-mail widget for actual e-mails. What's the point of having messages show up in the e-mail app? I can't do anything but read and delete them (doesn't delete the actual message, just its appearance in the e-mail app). I still have to go to the messaging app to reply, forward, etc.
The other problem is the e-mail app itself. I have Push turned off and one of my accounts set to manual retrieval. Still, it downloads e-mail without me doing anything. I have to turn off sync completely to stop it, which is a pain as I have to remember to turn it on to retrieve e-mails and then it gets everything going back 24 hours (minimum setting) whether it is new or not. This using an Outlook account. If e-mail retrieval is set to manual why would the phone retrieve e-mails as if set to push? It should do nothing regardless of whether sync is on or not. That's how it worked on my S2.
TIA
Nothing? Could someone just verify that this is the way their S4A works, as well? It just makes no sense to me why it does this.
every time i open up the calendar app, it goes through the initial setup. when i get to the calendar, nothing is displayed. i can't choose which calendars to show. going to settings > accounts >google doesn't let me choose whether to sync calendar or not (it seems everything else is there).
I haven't tried myself yet, but people are saying the 5.1.1 contacts app will allow syncing in 6.0....I would try that with the calendar app. Remember...google calendar is a play store app now, so it should be version-agnostic, to a degree.

I can confirm that Calendar sync works just fine for me. Check your permissions and make sure you have granted all of them in Apps. Contact and Calendar syncs are working just fine, as are all the others.
Hi all,
I'm after some help please and I will try and explain everything as simple as possible; I have lived with this for several months however I've decided to try and find a solution for my issue I have, which is receiving duplicate calendar notifications for an event/appointment etc.
After searching the net for last few days I've not found a solution.
Basically my set up is as follows:
Up until a week ago I was running MM stock, no root on my S7 edge, with S Planner for my Gmail account and Nine - Outlook for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en) for my office 365 work account and now I'm running the Nougat Beta, no root, with the same Apps.
Some background info:
Before installing Nine I used the default email app for syncing my Office 365 work account, however it is very limited especially when using sub-folders and having rules created in Outlook on Windows App, I would receive an email on my PC and get an alert no problem however due to the default email app on Android not allowing notifications when emails are in a sub-folder it made me switch. Nine is expensive but worth the money to get notifications for sub-folders alone.
Therefore on to my problem:
Since using Nine if I set up an alert/appointment on my PC or using my phone when a notification comes up I get two notifications, one for default S Planner and one for Nine app, now I could simply disable the notification within Nine however the snooze function is far superior to S Planner and I would prefer to use that for work alerts etc.
For instance S Planner only allows snooze for a default period (I believe it is 5 or 10 mins) with no option to change this, so I can keep snoozing each time if I like, Nine however allows you to define a snooze period from 5 mins to 2 hours therefore I use Nine's snooze functionality especially as with work things are always changing therefore flexibility is better.
You may be thinking why not just use Nine and put up with the duplicate notifications, well I have for several months but now I'm setting a lot more alerts/appointments and it's now becoming a nuisance!
Ideally I want to be able to use S Planner as my default calendar app to view both my Gmail calendar and work calendar but have S Planner to alert me only for personal alerts and carry on using Nine to alert me for work related alerts, maybe I'm asking for too much but to me it seems quite simple.
Over the last couple of days I've tried a few things:
Disabled notifications within S Planner, installed the Google Calendar app and enabled notifications in there and then I enabled my work calendar in the Google Calendar app, however it does the same as with S Planner I'm still getting duplicate notifications, now just with Google Calendar and Nine! :crying:
It appears S Planner and Google Calendar app syncs between the two.
I can disable my work calendar in the Google Calendar app but it turns it off in S Planner therefore when I open my default calendar app (S Planner) I only now see personal information.
The Google Calendar app also has limited functionality with the snooze, I have tested this and it's very similar to S Planner, there are no options to change the default snooze or pop up when the alert appears.
Maybe I'm over thinking this and someone will hopefully point out something I haven't thought about, which I would be very grateful if someone can because it's driving me crazy!! Maybe there is a calendar app out there that allows you to view all your calendars but select individual calendar alerts, which is what I'm mainly after.
Thanks in advance and I hope this was comprehensible :good:
