No Calendar sync 4.2.1 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello,
I've tried several ROMS and 2 version of Gapps.
My problem is there is no Calendar sync at all.
When entering the Google account under Sync There is no Calendar at all. Just Gmail, Drive , Browser and Contacts.
When entering the Calender app , I'm greeted with "Existing" "New" and "Later" screen , as it doesn't detect any Google account associated with the phone.
When trying to use "Existing" and add my Google account , it states this account is already in use.
I've looked in the web calender for any clues as to why my calendar sync disappeared , and did not find any.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Look in /system/app & see if you have (Google)CalenadrSyncAdapter.apk. You need the sync adapter to use an AOSP built calendar apk. The other option would be to get rid of the calendar.apk in your rom & download form the Play Store.

[Q] People & Calendar apps

Hi Guys,
i've got DZ from Santa. I have question about sync between people and calendar apps. I've imported contacts using MyPhoneExplorer. When i start adding birthdays found out birthdays don't go to the calendar automatically, like my UIQ3 SEW960 or even my [email protected] So is there way to sync these apps, or calendar app on the market that can import info from people app?
If you open up your google account online, you can access the Caldendar or Contacts and add and remove information as you wish. Then it will sync with a phone connected to that same account.

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?

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.

How do i sync with outlook and not google!?

Hi, I am at work sat here with 36 Samsung Ace 2's, that I need to setup and dish out to work mates.
Only problem is, on the calendar when trying to sync the calendar, or create a new event... it syncs with the google account setup.
We don't want them syncing with the Corporate account, that is used purely for one single app, but we can't remove the account without removing the app.
So were in a pickle, remove the account and loose the app, or keep the app and find a work around.
Any answers?
How can I change the default calendar to sync with?
I have tried under calendars to change the calendar, but every new event reverts to the Google account... help?!
THANKS !!

[Q] Calendar Issue - Please Help

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.

Awesome, good to know.

local calendar

Call me paranoid, but I don't like the idea of keeping my appointments in the cloud.
The problem is, the stock HTC calendar reduces available options when I'm switching from a Google account to either the phone (i.e. HTC Sync) or local account.
Does anyone have any experience with the Google calendar app and local accounts? Is it possible to use it without syncing with Google? Is there any other decent calendar app that would work with a completely local account, with an occasional backup to either SD card or PC?
You can turn off synchronization for Google Calendar under settings.

Somehow on my phone this setting has no effect and Google keeps syncing the calendar.
And then I'm using several gmail accounts, so the events get scattered between different "accounts". I have no idea why a simple list of appointments has to be associated with any kind account.
I don't think you are doing it right when you turned off the calendar sync. Anyway, there is an app called Offline Calendar. Perhaps you could give it a try.
I know this app. It creates a local (offline) calendar, but does not do anything else, you have to use this local calendar as an "account" in some other calendar app, like the stock HTC calendar.
As to turning off sync, I don't think you can do it "wrong". You just go into Google account settings, tap on an account (if you have more than one, like I do) and then there are sync settings, you can choose whether to sync gmail, contacts, calendar, apps, etc. I uncheck all of the boxes except for gmail, since this is the only thing I need to be synced - otherwise I will not be able to read email and that's the whole point of having a Google account. In any case, the calendar sync setting is off and still the HTC calendar app syncs every time I add an event to a calendar associated with a Google account.
Two ideas to try:
1. Use Google calendar with sync turned off. See if it still syncs new event.
2. Stay with HTC calendar and use the offline new account created by that app. Add new event to the offline account.
Try a calendar on the play store that has no sync function........ Or, don't worry. Everyone syncs... If there were security issues, it would be reported all over.
I doubt Google will show up at an event you have scheduled and mug you. ?
