[CM6] Can't sync Google Calendar??? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I can't get my Google Calendar to SYNC at all with CM6?
I think it actually used to sync fine and after one nightly I manually applied the Market fix, Facebook sync fix, and Froyo audio decoder 'fix' and ever since that day I have not been able to sync my google calendar at all (on CM6 only).
Even after re flashing to a stock 2.2 Rom (to try it out) and re flashing to the latest CM6 nightly I still cannot sync calendar (and yes I wiped). I wonder if there is something on my SD card or something that google is trying to restore (from backup) that is causing this.
My hunch was that hacked facebook.apk that is needed to sync on CM6 is causing the google calendar sync issue. But even after removing facebook all together that did not solve the issue.
At this point I am stuck because even after a freash flash of CM6 Calendar still does not sync.

My calendar syncs just fine with the latest nightly of CM6.. I've never had a problem with it and I have been using the nightly builds since they were started a few weeks back.
Go to Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and sync settings -> 'Your Google Account
Is 'Sync Calendar' checked? Check it if it is not and then hit Menu -> Sync Now

If it were that easy I would not have posted here. I have already tried that. My calendar used to ssync just fine. Not sure what I did. but now I cannot get it to sync at all even after flashing a new version of CM6.
That leads me to beleive there is a problem with my google account maybe or something is remaining around on my phone after a wipe.
I would think the latter is more likely because I can sync my calendar just fine on the stock 2.2 froyo or on older eclair roms.

Hmm.. What recovery do you use to wipe with? Maybe try updating/switching recovery versions to alleviate the wiping issue. Wipe data.. Wipe cache.. Wipe dalvik.. Even wipe SD after backing it up to PC if you truly want to start from scratch!

[Q] Facebook Sync contacts with Myn's

Yeah, it's another FB syncing problem.. I've look far and wide and couldnt find a solution, so here goes...
Rooted runnin Myn's ROM; before the root I did a backup with Titanium and then was able to restall my apps w/ no problem, EXCEPT FB for HTC sense... So I'm trying to get my contacts to sync like I did when I first got the phone, I go to MENU > Accounts & Settings > Add Account > and there are two FB options (FB for android that I got from the market and FB for Sense) ... I can click on the FB for android and it does nothing, just sits there, when I click on the FB for HTC Sense it takes me to the login screen but always says "Warning, the Service is currently unavailable. do you want to try again?"
Ok, so I can get on FB with the Android app and it all works fine.. but when I try to restore the app from TB it just gives the option to restore data and not the app.. And I guess you can't get it from the market right?..
Ok, I know that was long but thanks for the ideas... and I've already tried rebooting, but havent tried to flashing the ROM again, didnt want to do that unless I had to...
One more, when I flash a ROM, how do I restore my homescreen set-ups? - I use Amon Ra recovery and Titanium to B/U apps/data.. thanks again

Google syncs old apps to my phone. How can i update it?

Whenever i install a new rom + do a full wipe, i need to redo the android setup.
It asks if i want google to backup my phone on their servers so i can switch phones/roms with no downtime.
The only issue is that it doesnt sync my apps that i have installed recently. It also syncs apps that i have removed a long time ago.
IS there a way to update that? Im sick and tired of uninstalling the same apps all the time.
Resync it manually. That seems to work for me. You have to MAKE IT do what you want it to do sometimes

Unable to sync contacts at all

I'm having a weird issue. No matter which ROM I use... stock, 2.1 or 3.0 Sense, I am unable to sync my contacts through google or my exchange account. It just keeps trying to sync but doesn't really sync. It sync'd a single contact only. Email and calendar syncs fine so I'm at a lost at what's going on... Anyone have any ideas? I wiped a bazillion times with Cal's format all and Amon 2.3 recovery's own wipe option. Tried flashing all types of ROMS but no goo...

Look at an individual contact that is not syncing, and make sure it says google on the top right.
Edit: You have to set each one manually. It can be a pain, but it's worth it when you are done.
Option 2 is to export your contacts to SD, then upload that file to your gmail via computer. All of your contacts will now be saved to google, but when it syncs you will have double contacts, and will have to delete or link each one.
Either way is a pain, but once your finished, you won't have to do it again.
So I tried the very old WarmTwoPointTwo RLS5 and on that particular ROM, my contacts sync perfectly... then I tried to flash some other ROMs but they still have the same issue... =T The only thing I can think of that I did recently is flash the new radio and then the combo file that includes the newest radio and other stuff...
Did you update the radio after the other rom worked? Try this when you install the new rom connect with wifi before you sign into your gmail and see if that works

[Q] How to Reenable Google Account Auto-Sync?

Hi guys,
I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but I've been searching all over the internet(s) and can't seem to fix the problem. I flashed Liquid JB a few days ago, and other than this sync issue, everything has been going well. From what I've gathered, this is an issue linked to restoring Google information through Titanium, instead of letting the phone sync on its own.
If this is simply "factory reset and begin anew," or flash a different ROM, that's okay with me; however, I'm just curious as to why I can't enable auto-sync on either my Google account or my FB account.
Am I on the right track? Any one have information on what's going on?
I think it's more likely a ROM issue. I've tried some ROMs where it works and some where it hasn't

Make sure you flashed the gaaps package. I've never used liquid but there have been a few times where I've been wtf I have no contact info and I had forgot to flash the gaaps. You can just flash them at your current state right now it won't harm anything.
As far as fb goes I use haxsync to link fb to my contacts so I'm not sure on that one.

Before doing a factory reset I would try wiping days from Google Services Framework and from the Play Store. Reboot, then sign back in to the Play Store...

Try removing and re-adding your Google account via Settings > Accounts.

Having some bazaar issues

I'll cut to the chase with my issues and explain where I am now. Then I'll go through some if the previous issues leading up to this...
I got tired of the problems and flashed back to stock FC09 with Odin.
Booted up and made sure it worked...
Flashed CWM 5.0.2.7 with Odin.
Rebooted
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.8 with CWM...
Booted up to make sure nothing broke.
Data, dalvik, and cache wipe
Flashed a CM 10.1 nightly from a couple weeks ago.
Flashed goo.im's latest jelly bean pack (2013-03-01 iirc)
Booted up and went through the normal setup.
Only google apps that showed up are search, play, talk, and voice search. No Gmail or Maps or others. Gallery I'd there but force closes right away. So it and the camera do not work.
I haven't tried recreating the rest of the problems yet since I ran into a problem there.
The rest of the problem started after finally deciding to try the nexus radio hack. I got it working then had a hell of a time getting it working again after flashing a newer nightly. What should have worked didn't. Got it working then decided to revert back to the factory modem and CM 10.1 kernel. Wasn't worth the hastle for me.
After all that I got it working again. Then after the next nightly I lost all my apps, Google apps, and contacts.
Since then I was able to manually flash the Google apps and get it working but even then, it would not sync automatically though I set it to do so. It would forget my contacts and would not sync with gmail unless I did so manually.
Looked at to goo.im zip... realized gmail and maps were not in there.
While I was confused... that does not change the fact the phone seems broken in bazaar ways.
Losing my contacts randomly, refusing to automatically sync to Google, losing my apps after flashing an updated rom (also changes my background to an old one) and other weirdness.
Restored my latest nandroid backup after realizing the camera was broken last night. Everything worked perfect before making that backup. Now the camera and gallery force close...

Go to Settings->Apps->All : Find and click on Gallery then hit the button that says "Clear Data". That should fix the force close problem.

Nope...
Tried that and also cleared the cache and dalvik in CWM.
Neither helped.
Thank you though...
Well, if anyone else runs into similar and finds this via a search here is where I ended up...
I re flashed to stock again with Odin. Only I set it to re partition this time. Then flashed can via Odin.
Finally, I flashed CM 10.1 and gapps.
Everything worked...
Restored the data out of my latest nandroid backup.
Everything was good.
Ran cyandelta to update to the latest nightly and all hell broke loose again.
Think it is because we are butting so close against a full system partition. I had less than 100k free.
I ran my "remove useless junk" script via a CWM flash. I now have almost 100mb free and everything is working as it should. I'm betting I won't have any more issues if I set cyandelta to flash it after updating from now on.
The flash removes a bunch of stuff from CM that I don't need and/or never use like wallpapers, sound files, videos, a few apps and other random things. Need to update it for 10.1 since I made it for 10.0 though...
And today it forgot my Google account...
Noticed my contacts were missing and then saw gmail wouldn't open.
Settings> accounts did not have Google listed.
+ Add account did not have Google listed to add it back.
Had to flash gapps again and set my account back up...
This is one of the original problems...
