Google option disappeared from HTC Mail

Sorry if this has already been addressed, my searches didn't find what I was experiencing.
I'm not quite sure what's caused this though I believe it may be due to removing the HTC mail widget off of my screen but now when using the HTC mail app or widget my Googlemail account and emails have disappeared along the option for setting up a new Google account. The Google mail app works fine and I can see the email is still being synced by I have no idea where this feature has gone from HTC's Mail app
Any ideas aside from hard reset?

In the mail app you select POP/IMAP and just put in your Google account details. It'll set up the servers and ports automatically.

[Q] Syncing Calendar with Facebook

Heya
How do I get my Facebook birthdays and events to show up in my Calendar ? So far only the weather predictions for a particular date are shown.
Cheers
MJ

I guess you already have facebook set up. Should just be a matter if following this menu path:
Calendar
Menu
More
Calendars
Tick facebook
Then you might have to wait for it to sync.

Yes I have the normal facebook setup (not the HTC sense one).
I don't see the option to add the facebook calendar to my calendar.
Is something missing ?

Ok I just did a quick test and you need to set up facebook for htc sense to get it to work. The standard facebook syncs contacts only.

I would actually like to know the opposite. How do I remove all the facebook birthdays etc from the calendar?
I have turned off facebook sync, google calendar sync, and have cleared all the calendar data and cache. But every time I restart the phone they just appear again. I have no idea how to get them permanently, can anyone give me some advice?

You can import facebook events into google calender. After that you will see them in your phone calender, as well as on the web google calender. Follow this guide http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/02/15/how-to-sync-facebook-events-with-google-calendar/

[Q] Why cant stock calendar sync with exchange account?

Does anyone knows?
Tks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It does. My Exchange calendar syncs with my stock Nexus calendar just fine.
If you're getting the error where your calendar keeps crashing, go into apps and delete all calendar data and have it resync again. This resolved my crashing calendar issue.

Thanks bro... my problem is that my calendar does not even show as available... only google's.
Kinda frustrated...

This may seem obvious but make sure your Exchange account on your phone is set to sync the calendar.
You can also try removing your Exchange account and re-adding it to your phone.
Do you know for sure that your Exchange server/administrator allows syncing calendar with mobile phones?

Hi... all that you said i tried before. No sucess.
And yes it does allow as with touchdown it works.
Damn...

didn't want to start a new thread, so i'm resurrecting this one.
I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus (running the latest release stock 4.0.4 IMM76I) and i'm having mixed results with ICS Stock calendar sycn. i've read (and posted similar feedback) on the Google forums discussing this "bug"
my setup: i have 3 exchange accounts - work (2010), family (Office365/2010) and personal (2007) - set to push email, contacts and calendar. contacts and mail works flawlessly for all three accounts. calendar sync works flawlessly for family and personal accounts. the calendar on the work account is where i'm having problems. it syncs some event and consistently excludes the several single and recurring events. I’m a program manager and rely HEAVILY on my calendar to manage my various assigned projects.
i've followed all the suggestions: clear data from calendar storage, delete and re-add the account, don't use the stock calendar widget when setting up the account (that worked for about 1 week) but still no luck with the work calendar. if i open one of the excluded events via the outlook client, make a minor change (e.g., reminder time) and then save the event, it will sync to phone, then after that a duplicate entry appears, then a triplicate entry, then it quadruples. Basically, it adds the same entry on the phone for each sync/refresh. on my outlook calendar on the pc it shows only 1 event. if i add a "test event" via the outlook client/phone, it will sync to the phone/client as a single entry, but at the next refresh, the phone entries follow the same pattern as above.
i installed a trial version of Touchdown and the work calendar syncs perfectly no issues at all. i also have a lumia 900 (wife won it at work and didn't want it) and it syncs without issue. i have a Nexus One and HTC Sensation and they sync fine, granted both are using Gingerbread. IT has told me there are no issues with my account; the fact that Touchdown and the Lumia work seems to supports my account is ok. [FONT=&quot]
since i need my calendar for work, i purchased Moxier Mail (and use it just for calendar sync) because it's closest to the ICS stock layout. it's very frustrating that i have to cobble together software to get basic functionality to work on my GNex. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks in advance to anyone who offers suggestions.

Cant sync phone calendar(S Planner) to gmail

I have searched and read, and most want to sync from gmail to phone..I want the opposite...I have my calendar setup on the SIII with the default calendar app. Im trying to sync this calendar to a new blank gmail calendar. Pretty much just birthdays and other repeat events. the gmail account is checked in the calendar settings. Sync is "ON" for gmail, hit sync now and it will go through with no errors, check google calendar and nothing is there, still blank online.

issue...
I have the same issue... exactly.

Can it really be possible you cant do this?? I dont get why something this simple is not an option, hell they force every other google thing on ya, but NOOO cant sync to google calendar...wonder if this is a google thing or Samsung thing that has the breakdown...and you can sync from google to samsung, just not the other way...

in your settings (when inside your calendar app) why can't you pick your gmail calendar as your default calendar??

Not sure what your asking, gmail is checked in the settings, but there is no gmail calendar app installed there is only s planner stock on the S3...Ive pretty much just given up as nobody has the answer so Im guessing it just cant be done, I dont see any other places to check or change. Gmail calendar can update s planner , but it will not sync the other way.

oh, sorry. i have a calendar app and in those setting you can specify which calendar you wish to sync with.

If you click the calendars button at the top you will see a list of calendars. The first one is probably My Calendar, then My Tasks, then a list of gmail calendars you have. Only the gmail calendars sync with gmail. The sync is bi-directional.

Thanks

Default calendar not syncing with my Gmail?

The default calendar on my galaxy note 2 was not syncing correctly with my Gmail. I would go into settings, Google, and my Gmail and the calendar box was checked off. The little wheel was spinning and it would never stop spinning. I tried rebooting and I tried deleting the e-mail and adding it back on but no luck.
I went into the play store and downloaded Google calendar. This seems to have solved the problem since Google calendar syncs without a hitch but I was wondering if there is any way to get the default calendar to sync as well?

I was wondering this as well. But in the end i just keep using the Google one.

I keep getting a sync error as well. It has not synced since yesterday afternoon. I'm assuming it's an issue on Google's side as it did sync my calendar's at one point when I was setting up my phone.
I tried to use the Google Calendar App but so far I'm not liking it as well as the native Samsung calendar app. I like how the Samsung Calendar App has a small written description of the items that are on your calendar when you are viewing it by month.
I'm sure it will get sorted out on Google's end shortly. I hope.

I think I figured the syncing issue out.
First I went to Accounts - Google and stopped syncing my Calendar with Google. I then went to Application Manager - All Applications. Under there I Cleared Data for Calendar, Calendar storage and Calendar widget. Now, I'm only interested in syncing data from my Google Calendar so I had nothing to loose by clearing the data; but if you had other calendar data that was not syncing with Google then I assume you will loose that data by pressing the Clear Data button. After that I went back to Accounts - Google and reenabled syncing and all is well.
Hope this helped you.

Also the Samsung has a my calendar which doesn't correspond to anything in your Google calendar so won't synch. Finally the Samsung calendar doesn't offer any filtering so everything went to sync is also displayed unlike the Google Calendar.
TLDR; Samsung calendar is a piece of junk just root delete it and replace with googles

Hope this may help some people with this problem, When you add new event where it says Calendar make sure you choose your GMAIL Calendar not My Calendar.

To add to this:
1) Go into the Calendar app and then hit "Calendars" on top. Uncheck the "my calendar" box then save by hitting "done."
2) Go back into Calendar and hit the "+" to add event. Switch it to the Gmail account instead of "my calendar" and add a test event.
3) Go to the test event and delete it (or leave it if you don't mind).
4) Go back to the calendar app and add an event. It should now default to google instead of the samsung one from here on out.
Note: You can switch the prior events created by the default samsung app by going into them and switching the calendar to the gmail account. I would do this prior to doing the above steps to avoid repeating them.
Hope this helps anyone who finds it!
