Calendar sync not working - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have an unbranded HTC Hero with stock ROM and my GMAIL syncs perfectly but the calendar has some issues. WHen I add an event on my PC it syncs automatically with my phone and displays my event. When I add an event on my phone and sync again it won't show up on my desktop!
My settings on auto sync are set to all auto sync...
Does any of you guys know a solution for this?

Should be the same issue, but use Gmail obviously

Ahhh yay! I only searched the Q and A sections to be honest haha. This worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!

HTC sync VS Active sync

Hi there!
As I'm currently a Windows mobile user about to take the step over to Hero I just want to make sure that I can use my Hero at work as well.
Today I sync my work contacts and work calendar with Outlook using active sync.
When syncing I don't have to enter any information at all, the sync sets up automatically to Outlook.
Does HTC sync work in the same way!?
Do you have to set up the HTC sync by entering server names and a lot of other stuff like that, or is it just like active sync that everything is automatical!?
The reason I ask is that I'm fairly sure that my company will not allow me to sync if a lot of configuration is needed.
All answers are apreciated!

I use HTC Sync with my CDMA Hero and don't really have any problems. My outlook contacts and calendar sync pretty well. Sometimes it takes a try or two to get it to recognize my phone, but it usually works fairly quickly..

Thanks for the quick answer!
Sounds great!
Did you just install HTC sync and then connected your Hero and it synced automatically!? Is no setting up at all needed?
When using Active Sync it's just to plug in your phone and Active Sync seems to set up everything by it self.

Hi Everyone,
Just wonder is HTC sync able to provide internet connection to the phone as what Active Sync does in the Windows mobile phone?
I would like to surf the net in the hero with the usb cable connected to a pc which able to online.
Any idea?
Thank you very much!
Don't think it is possible...
On my side, it doesn't work. Doesn't necesseraly means that it's not possible, but, if it is, there must be some kind of configuration tips to apply...

Can't sync with Facebook using 2.1

So I got 2.1 installed and everything has been great so far. However I can't seem to sync with Facebook. It takes my credentials just fine and I can run the app. But when I try to link a Contact with their Facebook profile (to see their updates and sync their profile pic) it doesn't work. I get to the "select a profile" screen and it doesn't list any of my friends, even when I search.
Is anybody else either having this issue or able to sync successfully? And help would be greatly appreciated!
Works fine for me.
Some people weren't showing up in my contacts yesterday tho. But today it's fine and I was able to link all my contacts or show facebook contacts.
it took a bit for everything to sync over, but as of now I have no sync issues in 2.1 for facebook and or anything else. How long ago did you setup 2.1 with fb?
I setup my FB acct (and Google acct) as soon as I booted into 2.1 for the first time. I've tried removing the FB account, adding it back, rebooting in between, etc with no luck.
I have both "Facebook" and "Facebook for HTC Sense" enabled.
It takes my username/password fine, 'sync contacts' is checked, and it claims to sync just fine. When I tell it to manually sync, it 'runs' for about 2 seconds before saying sync complete.
When viewing a contact and sliding over to the updates 'tab', I try to link with their acct but my friends list never loads. Trying to search in it does nothing. Even when I try to view all updates in People, it shows nothing.
The Facebook app and Facebook Phonebook folder work great, but I really want to merge contacts again so it shows their FB pic automagically.
com.htc.bg has been force-closing alot. Could that have something to do with it?
I had the same issue I reinstalled the Rom then clicked the Facebook sync in setting let it sit for the night and it loaded all my friends. Search the forums this was answered in the other 2.1 leak forum.

Google Calendar Not Syncing At All

I got syncing working between Outlook and the Google Calendar site ... so I can see all my events and such on the Google Calendar website.
What isnt working is the sync with my Tab 10.1 ... I can see the calendar name on the Tab (and it changes on the Tab almost immediately when I change the calendar name on the website) but none of the events ever sync down to the device.
I've tried removing my google account and setting it back up, tried just turning sync on/off, tried powering off/on ... any one else having this issue and/or solved it? Thanks.
I am having the same exact issues you are. When I'm out and about I set all my calander events on my evo. Non of them however transfer over to my tab. I made sure auto sync is on and even tried manually hitting the sync button but no dice. Its easier to view mybdaynahead on my tab. Hopefully next update take all GT 10.1s from a beta feel to a solid feel. On my second GT10.1 already :-(
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "
So between this issue and a few others I factory reset my SGT last night and magically the Google Calendar is working perfectly now (so far). :-/
Not sure if my answer apply, but I sync with exchange and that work fine at least.
I think I'm having the same issue, or at least I'm sure that the calendar widgets don't show all the synched appointments in my calendars...

the calendar widget is garbage, because it only displays your events for the week. download WIZZ from the market, it has a much better agenda widget.

[Q] Calendar Syncroniztion with Exchange 2010 SP1

Hi there
I've got a problem with my sgs2 and M$ Exchange 2010 SP1.
If I connect to my Exchange account on my SGS2 it works perfectly. After a couple of days, the appointments are not synchronized any more. In no direction.
If I delete the Exchange account on the SGS2 and reconfigure it, everything works again for a couple of days.
I had a look at the log with acatlog. What I found is this:
Code:
07-25 08:32:26.885 E/Kalender(TS)<521>(10509): Uncaught exception in EasSyncServicejava.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
07-25 08:32:26.925 E/Kalender(TS)<521>(10509): Sync ended due to an exception.
Does anyone know this problem?
Thanks for your Help.
Kind regards,
Steff
Hi, I've got the same problem in Italy ...
From last Saturday, I didn't sync my Google calendar with my SGS2. I think it is a Google problem, but I like to understand what happen ???
No problem about contacts and mails with Google sync.
P.S.:
I've installed yesterday the latest ROM 2.3.4/KG3 with the same problem.
Ciao
Ciao ritima
Sounds interesting. Unfortunatly I'm not using the google calendar. I've got a sync problem with my exchange.
Perhaps it's a calendar app problem?
Kind regards,
Steff
Ciao Steff,
I think not, because the problem was also with before ROM 2.3.3 (from Saturday afternoon). I think there is a problem with Google sync, at least for some Users, like me ...
Ciao
Hi...
Yeah. In your case, it sounds like a google problem. Unfortunatley am i not syncing with google.
Anyway. Good luck

I also have a problem with the calender sync to my exchange server. It works perfectly for a while, including changing group appointment times etc, but then suddenly stops syncing with no warnings about it not syncing. Wouldn't be such a prob except there isn't even an error to tell me my calender is not up to date.
I know its not a server problem because my laptop syncs fine and so does Touchdown on the same device. Unfortunately Touchdown calender only syncs to the internsl Touchdown calender and does not end up in the common Android area otherwise I would give up on using the Samsung exchange sync for calender.
So no-one has any fixes for this apart from removing the account and creating it again? It has happened with every rom I have tried up to G6.
Same problem for me
Hi Guys,
Same problem for me: Syncing calander of my sgs2 with exchange 2010 server stops working after a while. Contacts and e-mail still sync perfectly. When i throw away the account and reinstall it again, everything works fine again for... First time a month, but now only one day.
My laptop syncs fine, also a old windows mobile phone still syncs and a colleage of me using the same server also has no problem with android on his HTC.
Has anyone an idea??
Thanks,
Geerten
So anyone found a solution for this problem???? I've had it for ages and changed roms a number of times.
I think mine stops syncing if I use wifi to sync but I have in no way thoroughly checked this. I only sync once a day (contacts and calender) as I use touchdown for my emails and this is nearly always while I am on mobile data.
I wish it at least gave an error.... but instead it just doesn't sync with no errors and means if you aren't careful its easy for a meeting to be missed as its not updated to my mobile.
I have same problem
Mine has been fine for months and forgot about the issue. But it reared it's ugly head again out of no where.

[Q] Sync phone book with facebook not working

My phone book when i had my arc use to sync all the pics with fb but now on the xperia s it has synced a couple was wondering if there is a solution or any1 with the same problem. I have fb inside xperia turned on so it should work
thanks in advance
They'll all be in your google contacts already I guess, so merge them there and they'll update on your S as soon as gSync runs.

I can't do it. I have sync my contacts through my gmail into my xperia s and then I logged in facebook and checked the option sync my existing contacts. But nothing happened. What i do wrong ??
Go into contacts
Hit menu then filter . Make sure Facebook is ticked in the option
Failing this , I had a problem where my contacts came over and not the pictures .
What I had to do was uninstall the facebook updates . Turn off the Xperia facebook sync
Add the facebook app updates , log on and set it to sync all contacts
Waited for sync to finish then added xperia facebook sync
It then worked
I had the same problem! Facebook updates and everything but will not sync my friends' photo onto my phone! Had to use "facebook sync" from the store/play in the end
I have a relatively same problem.
My contacts aren't synced with FB. FB sync either way syncs all my FB contacts with phone number.
I'd like it to sync only the ones that are already in my phone. How can I do that.
I'm also having this issue, with my X10 it was just a case of going through each contact and 'joining' them with their Facebook profiles, although now I've moved over to the S I cant seem to figure it out, i have the odd couple of friends who have pictures as their contact images but these are either coming from Gmail or G+
the occasional Facebook picture will link up but not all of them like before
I had the same problem. Just go to the settings>accounts & sync settings and there in Manage accounts tab you should have facebook inside xperia and there you should have sync calendar, albums in agllery and contacs. Works fine on mine
Hi i cant seem to find this option in my XPS.. "facebook in xperia" as that of the arc..

Ahh.. will try that. Didn't work first time. Maybe more luck next time
Although I tested mine and it works fine, I use Friendcaster pro for push notifications and contact pictures. The pictures are a higher quality and look really nice compared sometimes. I used to use it as my main Facebook app, but Facebook have really stepped up how good their app is now
Oh and by the way there is a free (ad supported) version as well, called simply Friendcaster
I've always had a problem with the image quality, but now it also downscales the images I set to a thumbnail format. Facebook images and manual set images get (I think) sync with gmail, and get replaced by a thumbnail version (same goes for facebook images, so i assume it's the gmail sync.
Any way I can fix this ? I still want to keep sync with gmail, and the above app "friendcaster" I might try, but it wont solve the problem for manual profile pictures I set.
I hate this, I've got a huge ass crystal clear screen, and only low quality and/or images with 100by100 pixels
i still cant get the phone book to sync contact pictures with facebook. i get three different contacts when facebook sync and facebook inside experia syncs. i get different info for each.
do we have to manually merge all the contact info?

Same here.
The only thing Facebook in Xperia synced for me was my best friends relationship status lol.
Urgh! I do not know why. But this still does not work for me, and its a bit frustrating!
Anyone have any solutions on the new ICS for this issue>
This is due to FB and Google not agreeing on the way contact settings are stored. Doesn't work on ANY ICS device without some kind of hack.
Whats the flag which defines the sync?
Hi, my ques is that what criteria or field is it that is necessary for a successful sync?
Like, i have 2 phone contacts with matching names as on facebook, and same email as used in their fb a/c (both hv no nmbrs posted on fb).
But one contact sync beautifully with bday, photos etc, but the other has no info pulled!
So what criteria sets d sync???
(SE Arc S on GB unrooted)
