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:

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.
So, I am running JIBwich's ICS ROM, but do not think this is ROM related. My calendar stopped syncing, so I deleted the data under Calendar and Calendar Storage. When I first went back in to the Calendar, it asked if I would like to add an account. I told it Existing of course, but when enter the Google account info that is already on the phone elsewhere (GMail, G+, Docs etc), it tells me it is already there. So I go back and hit Not Now, and I have a blank calendar. If I go into the calendar settings, I have no calendars to select to sync with. How can I correct this?
Edit: When I go to Accounts & Sync, and select my Google account, shouldn't Calendar be one of the options with a check box? I do not see it in there...
Anyone...?
More info on this: If I goto www.google.com/calendar on my phone, it also shows no entries, but if I goto the calendar from a PC it shows everything... what has happened???
Can anyone even confirm that is running ICS if Calendar is suppose to be under your account in Accounts & Sync in the settings? This is driving me mad!
...is this thing on...? Bump!
Well, not sure why it worked this time, but did the super wipe, reflashed JIBwich and latest gapps(2012-02-24) and now Calendar is back under Accounts & Sync and all is good.
I have the same problem with my Desire running ICS but I don't want to wipe everything to fix it.
Well, I am not sure of any other solution. As mentioned, after a wipe, the Calendar does show up under the Google accounts in Accounts & Sync. This started after clearing data from Calendar and Calendar Storage. When I did the first wipe, I let it do the auto restore of account info, but whatever problem I had with the Calendar must have been restored. So I did the second wipe and told it not to restore, and all was well.
Not sure if anyone else is having problems in ICS builds with google calendar sync but I found a solution that worked for me. I tried different apks with no luck the problem it seems is that the ICS calendar has trouble displaying certain recurring events that GB seemed to handle fine for me. After exporting my google calendar, deleting the calendar, and then importing the saved file back into google calendar I was finally able to get ICS calendar to sync. Google how to import and export google calendar if you don't already know how, it's quite simple. If this doesn't work you can try deleting reoccurring events till you find the one causing the sync error.

THIS solved my ics google calendar sync error after updating
Yeah I had the same issue after updating to the official ics (samsung galaxy s2 I9100).
Export import solved the problem!!
SWEET
Thanks
ICS with Exchange
I am facing the same problem with my exchange calendar sync. Do you think this solution would work for this as well?
There's an app for it
I had this issue after updating my Galaxy Note to ICS 4.0.3. Calendar sync caused forced close and no data was synced. Tried deleting my corporate google account from the phone and re-adding it (my personal account synced just fine).
Bought an app called CalenGoo for less than EUR5 after confirming with the very helpful dev that it is not reliant on the defective ICS sync engine. Got everything up and running in seconds!
On other suggested "solutions" found on forums: 1) Not intrigued to factory reset the phone and restore all apps and lose their settings etc. while there is no guarantee that it would do any good. 2) Deleting recurring events (weekly meetings with colleagues etc) is simply not something anyone who uses their Google calendar for anything serious is going to do. And again no guarantee that adding the meetings again would not just cause the same problem. Rather buy a phone that works. It is ridiculous that Google/Samsung would release this kind of defective crap, and makes you think what else might be wrong with ICS if QA is this bad.
Another Fix - Change/Delete Daily Recurring events with Every Weekday Selected

I was having this Google calendar sync error constantly on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and Asus Transformer TF101 tablet. I used ALOGCAT to pinpoint the root cause although it was misleading because the log said "Weekly" recurring event when it was actually a "Daily" recurring event with "Every Weekday" checked. If I deleted these entries or changed it to a Weekly event and picked each weekday specifically, the sync errors stopped. Here's more detail on my approach. I use Gsyncit to sync between my work pc Outlook account and my Google calendar. Then I use the normal sync apps on the phone and tablet. As part of my troubleshooting I had deleted all my Google calendar entries, then reloaded the events from Outlook to Google (one way). I still was getting the sync error until I located and changed the offending recurring events. I also removed my Google accounts from my phone and tablet to force them both to load all the recreated Google appointments from scratch. This may have been overkill. Try removing or changing the Daily (Every Weekday) recurring events, first, before wiping your calendars like I did. If doing just that works for you, it will save you a lot of time.

I have solved same problem by clear data of "calendar storage" apk in application manager. then sync with Google account.
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!
wow, i have upgraded my HTC Sensation XE to the custom rom Vipers 3.0.1. my calendar is not working, not sync to google calendar. any one having same issue here?
i have tried to clear the cache, remove the account and add in account, does not see any improvement yet so far.
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.
