My Google calendar is busy syncing more often than not. It takes a very long time (ten minutes or more) to finish and then restarts very soon.
The list view in the HTC calendar application flickers all the time, presumably because of this. The text "Tap here to see more appointments" briefly appears every few seconds and you get thrown back to the top of the list, making scrolling impossible.
I'm new to Android (after many years of Windows Mobile). Is this a known issue? Anything I can do about it? I've tried removing and re-adding all my calendars, deleting all data for the Calendar and Calendar Storage app in between, but the problem keeps returning.
I'm running a stock ROM and the default Sense calendar app.

OK, I have a lot of calender items (4400)
I sync with a Google Calender, which also syncs back to home - all fine and dandy.
In Touchflo 3D, I open the calender in month view.
When I select a day, the weather shows, then 8 seconds later the single appointments show, and then 2-3 seconds later the repeat appointments show.
With TF3D disabled, the standard windows 6.1 default calender handles all appointments fine instantly (as did my Kaiser).
So it's not a data handling issue, but TF3D seems unable to not use the underlying calender and re-format, but grab the data fresh - and it can't handle it.
Pretty poor really.
Any fix out there?????.....
That sucks, but I guess it won't be a problem for the people who don't have that much items. I never know someone could have all that items really.
I added a contact to my contact list on Thursday and it didn't show up until Friday. I made heavy changes yesterday (clearing out the useless ones) and it still has not shown up. So maybe it doesn't update every minute, I get that. What I don't get is how I have....
removed and replaced "Corporate" from the displayed lists on my contacts menu
removed and replaced "Corporate" from the Accounts and Sync > Sync Contacts option
turned off and on Auto-Sync on Accounts and Sync
....and the changes STILL haven't shown up! Do I really have to remove the account and replace it in order for changes to show up? How much of a "sync" is this if I make a change and nothing happens for days? When I turned off and on Auto-Sync, the grey sync icon appeared on the notification bar and ALL the accounts under Accounts and Sync showed they were currently syncing. I waited until the process was done, then went to my contacts list and saw no changes.
Any suggestions? How do you get changes to appear immediately or is that not how SYNC works with contacts in Exchange on this phone? My email syncs immediately, new mail and read mail will display almost simultaneously on both the phone and PC, so how come contacts won't do the same???
i did this the other night. went in and cleaned up my gmail contacts, because i had old versions of contacts that i have updated versions of in exchange. by the time i was done with editing my contacts, they were already synced with my phone...
Gmail sync is flaky sometimes. I have had many branded Android phones, and sometimes you find a change that just won't sync.
My final solution when i am really frustrated is to just delete the account from the phone, reboot and add it back.
I have not had any problems in a while though.
I have no idea if this application supports the Google Exchange Contact List (no idea what that is) but I've found MailDroid to be much much faster than either the stock mail app or the GMail app, and have lots of nice features.
Stock EVO, 2.2...
I just noticed this issue about three days ago...my Exchange calendar is constantly syncing, and I do mean constantly.
If you go to Settings - Accounts & Syc - Exchange ActiveSync, you can see the last sync for each item. My calendar constantly reads the same time as system time, and the Sync icon in my notification area is constantly flashing on and off.
I have noticed that my battery is draining VERY fast. I had to put it on a charger twice yesterday (I got the 15% battery warning) with normal use, when I can typically go a full day of use without any issue.
I can deselect Calendar syncing, but of course that's only a temporary fix.
Has anyone else run into this? Anyone heard of a solution? A google search did not yield any results.
FIXED!!!
Well I fixed my own problem...though I cannot determine the cause of the issue (I even tried uninstalling some apps I had DL over the past few days), the fix was simple, though it took a while to figure out.
I tried to merely remove/re-add my Exchange sync, but I kept getting 'client/server conversion errors', and my calendar would refuse to sync (though email and contacts did). Furthermore, in Outlook, I would get lots of duplicate entries (interestingly, they were recurring events and all-day events).
This was the solution:
1. Delete Exchange account from EVO (contacts, calendar, email)
2. Since I noticed that my calendar app still had some entries in it, even after deleting the Exchange account, it was evident that there was some data still on my phone that was possibly causing the syncing error. So, I went to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications, and selected the All tab. Scroll down to the 'Calendar' app entries, and you have to clear/delete any cache/storage data in each.
3. Re-synced with Exchange successfully.
I searched around different forums, and it seems many have had a similar issue and have waited in vain for Sprint or HTC to publish a solution.
This one worked for me. Hope it helps others.
yes!!!! Thank you so much. After trying everything and almost a week of my battery going dead with a couple of hours on my EVO your solution worked! I would recommend that anyone try this solution before going any further!
I have problem with long loading time of Contacts (same goes for applications which uses them - calls, SMS). I use Gmail contacts (over 1400), but I've reduced them with sorting in groups and then in phone only enabling few groups (400 contacts). But loading is still slow. I've cleared contacts cache, but loading time is still long. Sometimes over a minute. Any suggestions?
