Google calendar sync - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When creating an entry in the calendar, it does not give me the option to add it to my Google calendar, just pc sync. Any idea on how to fix?

The first step to solve your problem could be to provide more information.
Which ROM? Which calendar app?
do you sync your google calendar with your phone?
settings --> data sync. --> is your gmail acc added and active for sync? does it also sync the right services? (gmail, calendar, contacts,...)
edit:
Oh, and an your calendar app, did you choose google calendar to sync with?
Sample1
Sample2

+1
Make sure your Gmail account is active in Account&Sync
Then Open calendar, press menu > More > Calendars and check if your gmail is there. If not add it (add calendar).

Birthdays in google contacts syncing to calendar?

Is this possible? Be it on the HTC Calender or Android Calender.
I use GMAIL to store all my contacts, be they phone or email and I also include birthdays. These sync fine to my phone and I can see them as contacts, inc their birthdays, but they don't appear is either Calender.
In Google Calendar (on a PC) go to settings then click "Browse interesting calendars >>" then click on the "More" tab and then subscribe the calendar "Contacts' birthdays and events" it'll show up as another calendar you can activate or deactivate on the phone.
In order to get the birthdays of your contacts in your calendar, you have to login to your google calendar with a browser (best to do it on a computer, don't know if it works on the mobile). In the Settings of Google Calendar, you have to go to the Calendars tab and choose "Add interesting calendars". Then you get a list of different calendars. On the "More" tab, you can select "Birthdays of contacts and calendars". By enabling this, you will get all the birhtdays of your contats in your calendar, also on your phone.
Note: some of the steps may be called a bit different as I have all the menu options of Google Calendar in Dutch.
I have a question related, I'd imagine that the desire would do it automaticaly, but it doesn't seem like it. Is there a was to sync facebook birthdays to google contact birthdays ?

[Q] Calendar problem - 2 calendars sync but new events only in google calendar

I have 2 calendars syncing: gmail calendar + google apps calendar.
Both calendars are syncing OK.
When I add a new event on my phone, I cannot only add it in the google apps calendar, only in the gmail calendar. The google apps calendar does not show up in the drop down list.
IS there a solution?

[Q] Contact sync

I just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.
On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.
When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!

This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)
Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.
Strange. No matter what I did those contacts would not disappear. Then I rebooted the phone and they were gone. Seems to be working fine now...
Thanks.

Google Calendar wont sync

I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus running the Evolution rom and having trouble syncing my Google Calendar. When i make an event in either my phone or my computer browser, the event will not carry over to the other device. I added my exchange calendar and that syncs both ways with no problems.
When i go to settings > accounts > google > my google account, Calendar is not in the list to sync, I see Browser, Contacts, Currents, Drive, Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Play Music (in that order).
I have gone thru the calendar settings to look at calendars to display and calendars to sync and it shows up in there but its not actually syncing. I even tried to reflash gapps to no avail.
Any ideas?

Noticed this same issue after flashing my Xoom to EoS3. I have no ability to sync google calendars.

Check calendar-menu-calendars to sync and make sure it's checked.

Where are you seeing this? there are no calendars available? When I goto settings->accounts->google, there is no option for calendars. When I goto calendar->settings and select the google user id (i have multiple calendars) it reports no calendars available. Now the first account listed does state This account is being synced so your calendars may not be up to date, but its been saying that for a couple days now.

Question Outlook/Yahoo entries not showing in Google Calendar

As per title, when I first setup my P6P, and setup all my email addresses, all the email accounts calendars were shown in Google calendar. Literally overnight they disappeared and I can't sync or see any other calendar events from my non Google accounts. Done the usual cache, clear, disable and uninstall etc all to no avail. Even checked all Hotmail and Yahoo standalone accounts.
Any ideas?
Yeah, my Outlook/Microsoft account also not showing in the calendar which is shame. I would like to receive similar message on always-on display for Teams meetings as I have got from Google Meet via Google Calendar.
My work email is through Outlook and it didn't show either. What I had to do was this...add a new Exchange account and sync the calendar. Let it sync and go refresh the calendar. It should show up shortly after all this.
I assume you mean add the account to 'Gmail'? It won't allow my Hotmail account to be entered in 'Exchange'.
When I add it in Gmail, I notice the option to sync only contacts and mail is there. No option to sync calendar is seen anywhere. I think this is where the problem lies.
No not in Gmail. In the phones Settings > Passwords & accounts > scroll down and select "+ Add account" > select "Exchange".
