Problems with Calendar Sync

Hey guys
I'm using LeeDroid2.1a (though it has nothing to do with it exactly).
Overall i've got 4 "Calendars". 2 Google Calendars (Work/General), "PC Sync" and "Facebook".
I use only my 2 Google Calendars. Yesterday, one disappeared on my phone. I can't select it, it's just gone. I didn't change anything - of course it still exists on my Google Account.
I rebooted, tried everything - it's not coming back. Then I disabled Calendar Sync and cleared the "Calendarstorage".
Now, also my other Google Calendar is gone. Only "PC Sync" and "Facebook" exist on my phone...
How do I get it back? It's REALLY annoying as I had this problem with Stock, unrooted phone too (just couldn't add more calendars)...
Edit: OMG...now it worked. Last time, when I pressed "Add Calendar" it was just empty, now my 2 Calendars are there. Clearing Calendar Storage seemed to have worked...

[Q] calendar problem - can see my wifes calendar on desktop gmail but not on phone

OK - first of all, I have multiple calendars and they all work. The problem I have is very specific.
My wife has shared her gmail calendar with me. We both use gmail & share calendars. I can see it great on my desktop - turn on, off, color coded, perfect.
However - I CANNOT see her calendar on my phone. All of my calendars show up, but not hers.
Any ideas welcome.

I am going to ask the obvious ...
Did you click on Menu -> More -> Calendars and select it?

tried that
Attached are two photos / screenshots:
1. From phone, shows all my calendars. My wifes is not shown.
2. From PC, shows my wifes calendar (in green, circled in red).
??

Just for grins and giggles, click on "settings" under her calendar in your Gmail calendar and make sure the box is checked under "show in list". Seems like I had a very similar issue and that was the resolution.

checked on "settings" in my gmail calendar, and her calendar was/is/continues to be checked as "show in list".

The biggest clue is that her calendar is showing up under "other calendars" on your PC. You need to change the calendar permission in her Gmail account so that you are allowed to both "see events" AND "make changes". At present, I would guess you are only allowed to "see events". Once the permissions are correct, her calendar will show up under "My Calendars" in Gmail, and then should sync to your phone.

Yes - what he said. I have the identical set up on my calendar as well as my wife's. She needs to set you to "Manage changes" at least, maybe "AND Manage Sharing".
If this is a google apps set up, and you aren't on the same domain, there is a setting in the Google Apps Manage this Domain ...
Outside somedomain.com - set user ability
By default, calendars are not shared outside somedomain.com. Select the highest level of sharing that you want to allow for your users.
I have mine set to "Share all information, and outsiders can change calendars".
it was kind of finicky to set up!

I think that the issue is what Epicardium and spatton point out. I have an apps account, and my wife is outside my domain. Even with a little tweaking her calendar shows up as 'other calendars' right now.
Seems like I need to fiddle with the Google Apps Manage this Domain privileges to get her calendar onto 'My Calendars'. Once this is done, sounds like it might work.
I agree with spatton - managing the privileges for apps is a little unwieldy. I am sure it's great for larger businesses, but for small businesses it can be a little frustrating.
Thanks for the help guys - never would have figured this out myself. Will update when I can fix it

Being bored - stuck on a conference call - having a gmail, and several google apps accounts - I decided to tinker with this.
On *HER* gmail/google apps account, you have to set the sharing of the google calender to *YOUR* google apps account to "Manage events AND manage sharing". As soon as you do that, it will move to the top. You probably then have to do a sync and select that calendar.
Manage events wont do it ... goes to the bottom.

TEAM - WINS!
Thanks everyone. I checked my apps settings, which were correct. She set her calendar to 'Manage events AND manage sharing', and the calendar popped up into 'My calendars'. Then, on my phone, went in to calendar, hit 'Add Calendars', and hers was there.
Yay!! So - how many people does it take to screw in a google calendar?

You should try to get the calendars to sync on an iPad. It makes this seem perfect and simple!
Glad I could be of some assistance.

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!

[Q] Calendar Share Not Syncing?

OK, so yesterday I shared my calendar with my GF and my calendar was able to sync on her calendar app just fine. Today, she shared her calendar with me, and it won't sync with my phone for some reason. I can view her calendar under Google Calendar on my desktop, but it's not visible in my gapp. We are both using the Galaxy Nexus. I have tried force stopping the app and clearing data, but it did not work. I have refreshed it several times. I looked in "calendars to display" and "calendars to sync" within the app, and still only my account shows up. I looked at the desktop version and it says that I have access to view all events. Does anyone know how to fix this, please?

I still remember how I had that problem.
All you just do is enable Auto Sync by going into settings -> Applications & Parental Controls -> Prevent/Allow non-Amazon app installation - > Auto Sync. Or just simply search for "auto sync" in the search bar in settings menu. Then wait for some time for the contacts to sync.
Did I help your problem?

Hi there,
I have the same problem, so far, no contacts on the fire phone, auto sync is activated...
any ideas?

You have to add your gmail account in "Settings" - "My accounts" - "Manage e-mail accounts" - Add Account", then you will be able to sync Calendar and Contacts. You do not have to use amazon email app.
