Google Calendar sync more than one year

Does anyone know how to get google calendars to sync events 1 year plus? currently only recurring events sync past 1 year, but not individual events

You are lucky. I have only 6 weeks back.
How did you enable 1 year?

Mine has always sync'd +/- one year... no settings seem to be available to change this, so not sure why you have less... I need two years!

I have this issue too... have calendar events going back 2-3 years, and recently I can only sync 6 weeks on my Desire. Google Calendar shows all my events going back to 2009.

Hi all,
Found a method that did the trick for me.
Turn Auto and background sync off.
Delete data for Calendar and Calendar Storage.
Change date to something like 1 Jan 2009.
Turn sync back on.
After a few minutes it will resycn all calendar data.
Change date back to auto

With a custom app you can sync in any range .... I use "Business Calendar". Definitely better than the stock app !

Wow -- I'm shocked that there's no way to change the synced date range within Google's app.

I would use something else, but I like the HTC Sense Calendar app.
Will take a look at "Business Calendar" though.

How do you do that? The BC forum suggests using something like Synthesis syncML, and I've tried that, but I don't understand how to configure it.

I tried that business calendar but found if you store contacts birthdays then close app then open again it has deleted info not sure why because if you store it as pc sync they are ok.

No Calendar Sync?

Just setting up my Defy. Personal GMail showed Mail, Contacts and Calendar but my work GMail only showed Contacts and Mail. Any ideas?

Been there, done that, doesn't work. I had your same issue, because actually android supports only one Google calendar. I solved giving to my work profile full calendar permissions to my home profile; so from my home profile I can see and modify work calendar.
And yes I know it's a bit annoying to setup, but at least it works.

This isn't accurate. There are definitely multiple calendars available because my Nexus S had both calendars syncing.

Really? Then count me in if you find a solution .

google now: next appointment card doesn't show up???

sorry for the million questions today...
my google now doesn't show the next appointment card even though i have events in my gCal... one thing i've noticed is that the google now video has events with addresses whereas mine doesnt. do appointment cards need to have addresses? or can someone help me make htese show up? thanks.

I had the same problem, then I changed the title from dentist to dentist appointment since then, the card shows up with other info like traffic etc.

next appointment only works on default calendar
With my business we have multiple calendars. The calendar for this a calendar for that calendar for the other. But they are all synced onto my android so I can see every different type of calendar. The problem is Google now only shows the next calendar event for the calendar events that I created on my default calendar not the other ones that i sync. That means I miss a lot of meetings. It wouldn't be that bad if I could copy an event that I'm synced to to my main default calendar. But there's no way to do that an android.

Enter only your city for location, no address, apartment, etc. It will work.
If anyone has a better fix, let us know.

This is clearly a bug in the Android version of Google Now. Using the same google account next appointment cards show up fine on my ipad but the android version never shows them no matter what I do. Bit weird that it doesn't work properly on google's own OS.

I was also having problems with this. I saw it suggested somewhere that you actually use the word "Appointment" in the event name. I set up a dummy calendar entry for "Dentist" and it wouldn't pop up. I switched it to "Dentist Appointment" and Google now instantly sent me a notification that "it's time to leave for dentist appointment!" Then you can hit the menu button in the top right corner of the appointment card and choose "Yes keep receiving appointment info" voila. Since then, I've always gotten my next appointment, whether it had "Appointment" in the title or not. I also found it wasn't necessary to add the location, it would show up anyways.

Calendar help

Thought I would try this question here as it got nowhere on a different website.
I am having a problem with calendar reminders on my GS3. I am a full delegate for my wife's Google Calendar. When I first set this up I had an issue with events I scheduled in her calendar with a 1 day reminder showing up on Google and her tablet with a 30 minute reminder. I have since discovered that it was a Google setting causing this and have since sorted it. Now the issue I am having is that events I schedule in the calendar on my wife's tablet with a 1 day reminder show up on my device with no reminder at all. Does anyone have any ideas on what could fix this. I should mention that I am using the stock calendar that came on my AT&T GS3.

HTC Exchange Calendar 1 hour off

I have a user with an HTC One M8 connecting to Exchange for mail, contacts, calendar. All of the sudden, many of his appointments are 1 hour slow. A 2pm appointment shows as 1pm. This only seems to be an issue for recurring appoints, i think.
I have deleted the account and re-added. I have cleared cache/data on the device. I have deleted partnership in OWA. I have configured manual time zones and 2nd time zones to be local to our EST. have set the phoen time to manual mode and back to automatic. Nothing seems to fix.
If I connect any other phone, such as my Galaxy s5, no issues with his account and the calendar downloads correctly. OWA and Outlook calendars are correct too. This seems isolated to this HTC device.
