What setting did I shut off because my holidays are no longer on the Calendar? They use to be there before I exchanged my phone for a new one.
Thanks

Open the calendar app, settings, calendars, and tick the US Holidays box. And hit done.
First thing I looked for.That field or option is not there. I must have shut that option off some how. Any ideas?
Thanks

In settings-> accounts and sync, do you have a gmail account? The US Holiday calendar is through google.
Yes, I have 2 g-mail accounts. I checked that as well. Driving me crazy. For whatever reason that option just isn't there, I must have screwed something up somewhere.

Got it. I basically just manually synced the accounts, rebooted and the holiday option was there. All else fails reboot I guess. Thanks for your input it did help.

Sometimes doing things twice makes it work lol. And always reboot. Glad you got it working.

Not sure how it happened, but for most of my contacts I have about 3 identical google profiles for...I noticed this when I go to send a text...I get about 3 cell #s, 3 home #s, etc for each person...wondering if there is something I'm missing to clear out? Thanks in advance, just mildly annoying

Might be a stupid question but..... have you checked your google account? Are they on there multiple times too?
Do you have more than one gmail account linked with your android phone? If so, do you also have these contacts on separate accounts?
Go to your contacts app and hit the menu button and check your display options too. See if something weird's going on there.
Or you can delete the data for your contacts through the Application manager and let it resync in case data was corrupted some how.

I actually get the same thing but I'm heavily modded and just live with it. For me I'm on 1.1 of Srf and running the honeycomb theme of amosher. Also sync across two main mail accounts with my mandatory Gmail account not being one of them.

Clear the google services framework data.
First, I must apologize for posting in the wrong forum...meant to put in Q&A...sorry. And thanks for the suggestions...I cleared the data in the contacts storage, clear google services framework...reset the sync...unfortunately nothing worked...just weird...shows like 3 linked google accts under every contact...I can delete them manually, but upon reboot, they come right back...oh well, guess I'll just deal with it too...thanks again!

Go to the sync settings and uncheck the Contacts option on all but one of them and then reset it again.
Login to Gmail on a PC and try merging duplicates under contacts/more actions.
Nicenice...yours was the winner...thank you! & thanks to all who responded, I appreciate it

Happened to me once.. I've always had my contacts on gmail, but I once used a different back up app that restored my contacts, suddenly, I had two gmail entries for every person.. both on my phone and in gmail.. solution was to go on gmail on a comp and delete dup contacts

Would really appreciate some help on this one. Recently factory reset my phone and updated to the uvlde update. I noticed the email app had changed a bit. When i put my account in (an imap account) it wont load any messages. Im beyond positive that i have the right settings. I can send an email to myself even, but it won't show up on my phone. I hit load messages, cog spins for a second then it just stops. I hit load more messages . spins then nothing.... Any ideas? I've tried clearing data and putting the account back inane few times with no luck .

It tries and nothing happens. Im using an imap account. Any ideas? Really need email to be working, but seeing as we get ics june 11 maybe i should wait? Anyone have imap email working on theirs?

I can send emails but when I attach a pic they don't go through. What could it be?

Go into setting then accounts and sync then click on your gmail account and make sure email is syncing or you won't be able to retrieve new emails

Try going to the photo gallery and going to the pic you want to email then at the top there should be a button that let's you email it or press the menu button and email it that usually works for me

Its not gmail imap. Its my school email. Everything is set to sync anyways. Why gmail accoint recieves email fine, its my school imap.

I have seen this both the G2 and the SGSII. The stock email app and some email settings/policies do not play nicely. The work around seems to be download a different email app (such as K9 email) or forward your school mail to your gmail account that is hooked up to your phone.
Other than that, maybe the ICS update will fix it some how or another.
Yea im banking on the ics update... Heres something very interesting: Ive had to replace this phone once already for a different problem. The gs2 i had before this had a slightly different stock email app that worked with my imap fine. Difference was the stock email had settings that allowed me to select peak push times and like days of the week to sync most. This stock email app on this replaced phkne does not have those settings... As well as not having the imap work. Anyone notice that in their settings? That is... The push time options. Super weird that there coukd be two different ones ive encountered on the same phone..

I recently flashed a new rom on my girls GS2 and she now is telling me that she is missing several hundred contacts. i asked her if they were all tied to her google account and she told me that they were until now. she's had several other androids in the past and always had all the contacts transfer just fine. I work for T-Mobile and i have seen this issue in a couple of other devices before but have never been able to come up with any sort of rhyme or reason as to what, why, or how this is happening. can anyone shed some light on this for me? and if anyone knows a way to possibly recover those missing contacts that would help me out greatly. plus, it kinda worries me to think that one day if i flash a new rom onto my phone i may log in only to find i have lost all of my contacts......
thanks

Has she logged into gmail from a pc and verify her contacts are there?

thats the big issue, they deleted out of her google account completely. on the phone and online. she had something like 800 contacts (crazy i know) the other day and now she only has around 250. ive seen this happen with a few of my customers phones at work as well where one day they have contacts stored to gmail then suddenly they are gone. its very strange.
Umm were they mostly guys number?
Are you sure it wasn't part of fb of fb contact sync?

lol no isnt trying to hide anything from me haha. and i asked her if they were FB contacts she said no. these were contacts that were tied directly to her gmail account.
I dunno man if they were on her acct online and now they aren't...that's a Google issue. No idea where to begin to fix it.

I am having the same problem. Phone was setup to sync contacts to gmail... but now its gone off phone and off gmail.
If I recall correctly, Google has an option to revert to previous versions of contacts up to 30 days ago. Maybe that would work?

Is there a setting I need to check to ensure my notifications get saved or backed up to Google? I've been flashing for a while and the newer ones don't seem to be sticking when I flash a new rom. Thanks for any help given

Just make sure your adding the events to google calendar and not a local one. Also make sure it's set to Sync in the account settings, other than that you should be good. I've never had any problems with mine and I use 3 different calendars 2 of which are shared and I flash a different ROM every 2-3 days at least..

Same here. No issues with calendar sync. Might want to reflash if that's the only issue. Or maybe delete calendar and reinstall it. I had to do that with voice on a jb rom recently. Just a thought.

I have downloaded and reinstalled GB08 andGB27 and can not sync my new stuff to google.
When i sync i get all my old stuff that was put on with my ICS roms.All Jellybean roms only post to my phone
so I can not share with my wife. I went back to ICS and everything is fine.
I think I may know what's going on. I noticed when I flashed to GB27 from ICS and then went to add an event into the calendar, my Google acct was no longer the default "M Calendar" was. You may have to switch it to your Gmail calendar then you can flash all day long and never lose any dates, events, etc, because they are in your gmail. How that helps.

One quick note of interest (And personally I don't know that anyone would really care) is that the default is My Calendar instead of GMail is because Google won't sync to Kies.
So if you don't care about Kies backups, then it's not an issue. (Just in case anyone is wondering why the default was switched.)
