Does anyone know how to remove the "PC Sync" calendar from an Android phone (HTC Desire) created when you use the HTC Sync software?
I've disabled it so the entries don't show in my calendar but I think that other apps (Calendar Snooze in particular) is still picking it up.
Thanks in advance.
I'd be interested in this as well.

I've a very similar problem!
I'd like to set my calendar entries (and contacts) to default to the google calendar and to stop asking me which one I want to use!
There is no direct way to avoid P Sync.
You can do it indirectly as below
1. Open you outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2. Delete all the entries in active calendar of outlook.
3. Start sync now.
4. Now the entries in you mobile are completely removed.
5. Change the sync option in HTC Sync app for Calendar as NO.
6. Sync again. Verify that you mobile doesnot contain any outlook entries.
It done now.
You can restore outlook from the backup and continue....
thats bad answer as we cannot remove calneder enteries from computer just to keep them on mobile phone, need some good answer for removing pc sync option to keep google calender sync on desire hd
it's not a bad answer...think again
1. Open your outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2 to 6 as above
STEP 7 - RESTORE YOUR OUTLOOK CALENDAR FROM BACKUP
hey listen - i synchronised very first time my desire hd with computer via htc sync and desire has extracted all mine calender enteries including old ones which i also had deleted from computer, i factory resetted my desire hd and than i stopped using htc sync tried syncing with google account which i exported computer outlook and imported in google account. but doing that ways also PC sync option is still selected under calender settings which is making ma lyf difficult by kepping those old enteries which i did very first time!!
can someone help me out with a solution to remove pc sync while using google calender, also note that i have factory resetted my device and not connecting to computer anymore but still its showing me old enteries which i connected with computer very first time. Please help me out as this is really frustrating!!
Solved
Clear calendar storage data in Settings>Applications. Delete your mail account (if you have exchange or something) and re-add. Google is still fine. Then re-sync OTA.
Another solution
Better late than never... Try: Settings > Apps > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data. Then just re-sync all your calendars except the PC Sync/Exchange
This sadly does not work for me on my Lenovo M7 tablet. The 'PC Sync' account remains despite me clearing the calendar storage data. Is it tied to some other app?
I have Gmail account logged on my Desire , and my Calendar has been syncing everytime i connect to Internet. In The google calendar web , there are uploaded all my events from Calendar. Recently I decided to change my ROM , and then to sync my calendar data through my google account , but only the
events since the new year (1 JAN '11) till now got sync. All my events from 2010 can't get sync.
Any ideas how to restore all my events from google calender , except writing them back again ? ;S
Silly question for you,
I assume the older calendar items are still in the gmail calendar as accessed by a browser ?
actually you can request older entries in the calendar app, tried that?
I Want events on my phone , not in webpage ..
1. Opened my Calendar appk
2. Click Menu button , press settings .
-Calendar view setting (nothing in common with my problem)
-Reminder settings ( nothing in common with my problem)
3. Opened Accounts & Sync
-choose my google account
-there appeared
Sync Contacts - Accepted
Sync G mail - Accepted
Sync Calendar - Accepted
-press sync now
-loaded
-Appeared events only since 2011 , these from 2010 can't be sync..
tell me something more 'bout this old calendar entries ?

I am getting duplicate entries in the calendar from my exchange accounts. Is this a known problem and is there a fix?
I have tried deleting the calendar storage and removing then re adding the accounts.
thanks
I have the same issue ... I thought it was because I switched time zones but can't confirm that.

I had that problem once before on my old epic. If I remember correctly it was because I had 2 accounts synced to my phone, Google and Yahoo? Now I just sync everything to Google only. I was also getting duplicated in contacts.

I think it is a problem with the S3 calendar app or the exchange sync. I have synced the same accounts on other android phones and have not had any issues with duplicate calendar entries. I sync my work exchange account and a hotmail account. This gives me my work and personal calendars. I only sync contacts from my hotmail account. I do not want to use google since I already have everything setup on my other accounts.
I will try doing some reconfiguring of the accounts tonight. I will post an update if I find anything interesting.
Re-Duplicate Calendar/Contacts entries from Exchange Server
Last week my S3 started duplicating both calendar and contact entries. This only occurs on my Exchange work email. I can clear out my contact and calendar storage and then resynch and it will be fine for a few hours. Then i will get duplicate entries. I did not reset my storage after seeing the duplicates today and now a third set of the same entries are showing up. Very frustrating. I have uninstalled the apps I've loaded in the last week.
I was rooted and had not downloaded any upgrades when this started. Yesterday I went back to the stock rom thinking that was the problem. It is still happening after I reset to stock ROM and downloaded the available upgrades.
This is very frustrating and it is odd that this started recently. Maybe something changed with corporate exchange servers in the last couple of weeks that caused this conflict.
Looking forward to a resolution.
I have the same problem. Now I have 8 times every contact and calendar entry. When I delete the account is working for some hours and then start dublicating as well. I have 2 exchange accounts, my corporate that I sync everything and my hotmail that sync only email.
I now only have one exchange calendar syncing and I am still getting duplicates. I have tried to reproduce the duplication by restarting and re-syncing but neither one created duplicates manually. Next I am going to remove all of my accounts, delete all the calendar & contact storage then add back one account. I will run wiht only the one account for a day to see what happens
Solution (At least working for a day now)
I was getting duplicates every few hours and now I am 1 full day without. Here is what I did:
1. I deleted all of my Exchange ActiveSync type accounts. I had three mail accounts using the exchange option : Corporate, Gmail and Hotmail
2. Went to Task Manager and View All processes and Find the Calendar and Contact storage apps and cleared the data.
3. Setup my Corporate account using Exchange ActiveSync
4. Setup synch for Gmail using the Google Account
5. Setup Hotmail with the Hotmail app.
(Dont like Gmail and Hotmail separated, because I enjoyed having all emails in a combined view)
Doesnt seem to make sense, why this has started happening in the last couple of weeks, because I had this setup since I setup the phone the end of June.

I'm going to try this method and see if it works out. I too, had 2 Exchange ActiveSync email accounts associated with my stock email client (Corporate and Hotmail) But I'm going to try and set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 this time and see if that alleviates the multiple calendar entry catastrophe!
I made some progress in my testing. Here is what I did.
First test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Only setup one account using exchange and synced mail, calendar and contacts using default email client
5. No duplicates after 3 days.
Second test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Setup two account using exchange and synced mail, calendar and contacts using default email client
5. After the first day I started getting duplicates in the calendar and contacts.
Third test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Setup one account using exchange and synced mail and calendar using default email
5. Setup one account using exchange and synced mail, calendar and contacts using Enhanced Email
6. After the first day I started getting duplicates in the calendar and contacts.
Fourth Test
1. Removed all accounts using the default email client.
2. Cleared all data for calendar and contacts
3. Restarted phone
4. Setup up my Office Exchange (Sync mail & calendar), Hotmail (Sync mail, contacts, & calendar), and Live (Sync mail) accounts. All accounts are setup as exchange accounts using Enhanced Email.
5. Now after two days there are no duplicates in either the calendar or contacts.
I dont if Enhanced Email syncs differently than the default email client. I believe that there is a problem with the default email syncing process. I never had this problem with my Gingerbread phones.
duplicate appointments and contacts
The duplicating calendar and contacts problem was driving me crazy as well. It just seemed to keep getting worse with more and more duplicates as time went by.
I could remove the duplicates by removing my Exchange account and then re-adding it back in, but the duplicates would show up again hours later.
I removed/added my exchange account a bunch of times, and each time the duplicates came back... except this last time.
The only thing I did different this last time (that I know of) was goto: Settings, then Backup and Reset, and uncheck "Back up my data". Then I removed/added Exchange.
Since doing this, I have had no more duplicating appointments or contacts. It has been several days, maybe a week now.

I will try that and see what happens over a few days.
Workaround: Google Calendar sync option
I had the same issue on my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I removed my Exchange Server account -> Synced calendar -> Made sure the Exchange entries were gone from Calendar -> Install Google Calendar Sync in your PC that has the exchange server and do the 1-way sync option from Exchange to Google -> Resync Google Calendar on phone -> Add Exchange Server account on phone.
This is a roundabout method to remove duplicate entries but it works great for me and should do so for you as well. There is a one-time setup of Google Calendar sync on your PC and that's about it.

Can you please point me to the difference in setting up via default email client vs setting it up using Enhanced Email?
My Father-in-law has his gmail account and a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account (for work) syncing on his GS3 and is getting duplicate events from the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. I'm trying to help him remove those duplicate entries. Apparently his IT guy at work setup the ActiveSync account and he didn't know how to set it up, so I couldn't remove and add it back.
I'm just not sure how I should tell him to set it up differently this time. Note: I saw the item to remove the check mark for backing up items. Did that work for you as well?
Solution I found that works for my HTC Android
opened my Droid's Calendar,
then touched Menu button,
then "More",
then unchecked the box next to Calendar,
and checked only the calendar I want to sync and show (Exchange)
waited for everything to clear itself out.
done / fixed.
Why I don't have Exchange on my droid?! I have the same problem: duplicate calendar entries. I simply use S2 (Jelly bean) and my default gmail account and its calendar! nothing more. but there are many duplicates. I can't see exchange in my calendar list
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.
This issue started when I updated to lollipop.
I have 2 gmail accounts on my phone. One is synced with calendar, the other is not. However, whenever I put a calendar entry in it has the not synced gmail account as the default account to use. Even if I go into calendar settings and uncheck the non synced account, it will not display but it will still be the default calendar selected when creating a new entry. How can I make my synced account the default?
Thanks
Does it make any difference if you setup only the Gmail account you want as default during initial setup. .. then add the 2nd account.
