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.

Google calendar sync problem?

Hi somehow since few days now my calendar doesn't want to sync anything from past events a part for last month. When I go to web version of the calendar all the events are there even from 2yrs back but ics doesn't want to sync it somehow. Is it just me or does anyone have the same problem???
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Check to see if "hide declined events" is checked under settings > general settings. It should be the first option.

Nope had it like that all the time .... all entries disappeared today everything was fine let's say yesterday ..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Probably a long shot... but how did you set up your time zone?
For example I had calendar widget problems when fetching from network, but manually it worked fine

Try clearing the data from the calendar app and then sync it again. I had that problem with a different phone and clearing data worked for me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Timezone is on default settings in calendar on phone it's network provided.
Clearing data from calendar doesn't help.
If I have an entry on calendar via web browser its there and I can clearly see it. It doesn't show in the android calendar, however, if I add something in the same day through the web browser this and the previous even in that day will show in the phone. So wtf is wrong with it???

I had a problem where my several of my Google calendar just wouldn't appear no matter what (manually triggering auto-sync, uncheck and recheck Calendar sync, etc.), and toggling around the settings even caused ALL my calendars to disappear at one point.
Yesterday I finally figured out to force-stop and wipe the data for Calendar and Calendar Storage, and then letting Calendar resync. Works brilliantly.

Forwarding events from S Planner. Gmail?

Ok, so I have been trying to forward some events in S planner but it wants me to setup my gmail in a different email app. I suppose there is no way to forward events just using gmail without doing this. Ive searched for about the last 4 hours and can not find any info. I just do not want to have my emails going through 2 different apps. Any good advice?

bump
I'm having the same issue. Essentially S Planner default to the "Email" app rather than the "Gmail" app - this is quite annoying given that my S Planner syns to my Gmail Calendar.
Does anybody know how to change the default Email? Maybe somewhere in general settings?

Using the Galaxy Note 2 and would like to know as well. If anything we can just set up our google accounts with the email app and just turn off notifications for it. But it does suck to have your gmail account being synced with two different email clients.

Same issue
+1 I'm having same issue with S Planner on Galaxy S3

[Q] How to get iPhone contacts on Galaxy Note 2 ?

Hi all,
please tell me there is a way that I can transfer all my contacts from my iPhone to ma Galaxy Note 2 ?
I ve found a link on Droidsoft.fr but the app sync from samsung seems to be KO.
Any ideas ?

For the iPhone there is an app call My Backup Contacts. It used to be free, not sure if it still is (it is doesn't exist any longer you can use iTunes to back up to a CVS file, it just is a bit more involved). But you can backup up your contacts to a CVS file. Put the file that is created on your computer. Then open up your Gmail account and on the upper left where it says Gmail there is a drop down arrow. Hit that and select contacts. Just to the right of that there is a picture of a little guy with a + and a MORE with a drop down arrow. Hit that arrow and select IMPORT. Select the file you put on your computer.
Then you should just need to sync you contacts with your Gmail account from your phone.
I hope this helps. It is how I migrated from the first iPhone to Android (and never looked back)

use Idrive lite, it backups your contacts online and install it on your android and then restore your contacts.

Hi,
If you are still using iCloud, then this app might work, it sync's your contacts on the note with iCloud.
SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts

On a side note, if you do use the SmoothSync, you also need to install "JB Workaround Cloud Contacts" so on reboot for Jellybean the program is not uninstalled.
I am using it and it works well.

I back up my contacts on Outlook. So all I had to do was export my contacts as a csv file. Opened up gmail, uploaded this file, and voila, all my contacts are synced with my Google account, which I am sure you have if you are using a Note 2.

Did the same thing... had to do a little polishing when it made it to the note but overall got everything there in one piece.

When I had an iphone there was an option to sync your contacts with google instead of outlook or whatever other options. I choose that. Worked perfectly once my android synced with google

Samsung Kies desktop software has option to transfer all iphone data to Samsung phone.
Make sure to update Kies to latest version.

I used the icould website to back up the cvs and then import it eith gmail it was pretty easy

I used Google sync to transfer contacts from my iphone to my note 2

I just added my Gmail account as an exchange account on the iPhone, and it backed them all up to Gmail. Then they came down no problem on my android phone.

The bump app worked for me before. Apple sure does make it a pita to transfer contacts

Just set sync contacts to google in iTunes and sync the device. Once you boot up the Note and add your google account all your contacrs will be there. Easy

Agree with this and you don't need extra software. I came from the iPhone world and set it up to sync with Google. Setup my gmail on my Note 2 and they all came in perfectly. :good:

I came from an iPhone 3gs recently to the Note II on AT&T, and didn't want to sync my contacts with google for my own reasons.
Researching I found multiple ways to accomplish transfering contacts, including using the Kies software, which didn't want to work on my older, XP-64 computer.
There's free software called "Easy Phone Sync"; an application in the store for the GN2, and one you install on the computer. It worked well for me, by transfered all my contacts, pictures, music, text messages, from an iPhone backup. Some points:
1. backup the iphone first, so you get the most recent data over
2. I actually did it twice; the first time I included text messages, and it seemed to have broken the stock messaging app (it took about 2 hours for it to "sort" the messages and then regardless of a reset or what-not, , I was unable to receive or send text messages). To resolve, I did a factory reset and second time around I did not transfer these over
3. I don't have any music on my phone, so I'm just assuming they would have transfered over without hitch
4. The single-iPhone gallery gets broken up into multiple galleries on the GN2
5. I was surprised to see the GN2 contact system automatically group up a few duplicates, neat!
Hope that's helpful to anyone else searching.

Syncing your contacts with Google is by far the easiest way

I just did the contact transfer last night, here is a few things I learned:
1. sync iPhone contact to Outlook first is a BAD way to do it. Because once the contact is in Outloo, it change the format your contact a bit, ie. phone number tracation change, add "catories" field, put people's birthday into "Note" sectio, most importantly, people's first, middle and last name will be mapped differently .. these are a few thing I observed. And when you sync outlook to Google, you will have more manual clean up to do.
2. The easiest without downloading any additional apps is to first turn off iCloud on your iPhone. Setup a google account as your defaul account, and sync your iPhone contact with google. Once it is done, you still have some clean up to do, but very little. Then you just sycn your Andiod with google contact. The whole process is very clean compared to iPhone -> Window Phone transfer.

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!
