Hi,
Just a quick question really about the calender app. It seems to not want to automatically sync up with my online google calender? It does it the other way round so when I add an event to my phone and I go open the calender online the event is there. But if I add an event on the online calender I have to manually go into the calender and sync it, anyway to get it to do it automatically?
Thanks.
mine randomly forgets to show me any google calendar entries at all. It worked yesterday after clearing the calendar app data, now it's gone.
My wife's SGS2 seems to be plagued with this problem, totally stock build, keeps forgetting all her google calendar entries and I have to clear the calendar data and manually re-sync.
Doesn't happen on my SGS2 running a Cognition 2.3.4 build though.
Hello, I hope I can get some help from you guys about what is a petty issue I am having. I am having trouble getting my Google Calendar to sync up. The particulars are whenever I text GVENT and add a Calendar event i get the confirmation text message stating the even was added. However when I go into the Calendar it does not reflect the event was added. I can see the event on the online Google Calendar. If I manually sync the calendar the event appears on my mobile calendar. So I guess the issue is that the Calendar is not Auto Syncing. I have done the following. made sure auto sync is on, ensured the correct calendar is linked up, and even cleared data and cache. Removed account and added it back. I just reflashed this rom and it's not working now. Since I can sync it up manually is it rom related? Or something simple? Driving me crazy !
So after a day of searching I found the answer. Restoring system data in Titanium backup caused me to have this trouble. After re-flashing and restoring only certain basic apps without any system data it is fixed. Yea !:good:
Everytime my phone syncs with the google servers all my passed calendar events get deleted. I've lost all my calendar entries from the last month and a half and every time I try to re-add events from say last week they keep getting removed. Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas of what could be causing it? I've tried reinstalling google calendar and clearing the application cache but no difference.
Edit: I should add that it deletes the events from both the phone and the main google servers.
Hi.
Today I ripped out the Samsung calendar that comes stock with Titanium and installed Google's calendar instead. When I attempted to use the new calendar, I wasn't able to sync at all - when I go to settings to choose calendars to sync, it says "loading" indefinitely. Is there a way around this issue, or am I forced to keep the Samsung apk installed? If so, could someone please post or link to the apk so I don't have to dig it out of a backup. Thanks a lot!

I know this won't help you, however, I have a problem with my T-Mobile Note 2. When I add an event to my Gmail calendar, it will show in my phone but not in my GCalendar. I have tried everything and I get 'Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.' This only applies to my Sync Calendar. Sync Contacts and Gmail does sync properly. Hope someone finds a fix for you.
Please disregard opening post; I have settled the issue myself.

When you say you're adding an event to your Gmail calendar, are you adding the event through the app with the green trim or the app with the blue trim?
If you are using the calendar app made by Google (blue trim), much of the time to settle this issue, all you have to do is go into the app manager and find the calendar storage and wipe cache. I have never had a time where sync wasn't "experiencing problems." It is normal, and Google refuses to fix it. Also, when adding an event, make sure it has your Gmail address as the calender name or a calendar you've made in the cloud selected, because if it says "local" or something like that, it's only being saved to the phone and the phone calendar won't sync, similar to how contacts won't sync on their own to Google unless they are saved as Google contacts.
If instead you are using the Samsung app (green trim), you have to manually sync your calendar to the cloud. It's an annoying process that immediately turned me off to using it in the first place.
Thank you! Fixed

I just downloaded Google Calendar from Google Play and checked my TEST Events and now they are there in all my Calendars. Just re-synced and it worked. I have no idea other than when I installed Google Calendar that corrected the problem. Thanks for your time and reply. I do appreciate your advise. I walked through all your suggestions.

Awesome, good to know.
Ok here is something weird. First off I have no Google+ profile, yet Google still puts the birthday of one of my contacts in my calendar. So far this is not ZW related but it does show up in my calendar widget. Because this annoys me first I tried to unlink the Google+ data from my contact's other data. As Google simply does not allow this I deleted the gmail address. Then finally the birthday disappeared from both the contact and from the calendar. Unfortunately as soon as I put the email address back the birthday reappears so I decided to leave it out.
The weird part is that ZW still shows the birthday in the widget as the next appointment. Since I have no appointments for the time being it should simply display "no appointments" which is the way I programmed it. Now I deleted the contact all together but it simply refuses to disappear and keeps saying "24 june elvis's birthday" - with Elvis clearly being a fake name here.
I already cleared the cache of both the ZW and Nova Launcher apps and restarted Nova but the birthday still appears. Is there maybe another cache that ZW uses that I'm not aware of?
Wipe your calendar cache. Maybe try going into recovery and wiping cache?
I wiped the android cache from recovery as well as all the app caches from storage settings. The birthday is still showing up in the widget. Let me repeat that it has disappeared from the Google calendar itself, both on the device and in the google web interface on my laptop.
This morning the birthday disappeared from the widget. I didn't do anything extra to make it go away. It just happened. Mission accomplished but I honestly don't get how it kept appearing for so long.
