Calendar crashes after update - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated to build 435 yesterday. Since then, the default calendar app crashes. Have tried rebooting.
I sync my calendar with outlook through google. There are some semi-advanced entries there, ie meetings with replies. However, problem persists when I disable that calendar from my outlook.
Calendar data is accessible for my agenda widget. Data shown on the widget is even updated when I add data to my google calendar.
Any clues on how to solve this?

Reinstall everything what is named Calendar
Cheers

I reinstalled CalendarProvider.apk and SemcCalendarLargeui.apk. Still doesn't work.
Immediately after installing SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, I clicked "open". This caused the same error.
Any further suggestions? Please?

Go to Applications, Manage applications. Select calendar, and clear cache. Worked for me.

Thanks!
I had to uninstall the apps proposed from the previous poster, then opening the applications menu to allow for display of all apps (not only 3rd party). Then I was able to clear the cache.

I am also facing the same problem, however I do not see the calendar application under Applications>Manage Applications !
Could you please elaborate further how you fixed your problem...for me the phone is pretty useless without a calendar !

You have to filter shown applications

Thank you ! Worked like a charm.
However I noticed one problem .. I use three seperate calendars in google calendars color coded red, blue & yellow. After the update to the calendar application all three show as red . Previously all 3 calendars showed up with their respective separate colors
Did any one else notice or face this ?

[Q] Several calendar problems with 435 build

Hi,
I have learnt that calendar crashes can be solved by clearing the calendar app's cache.
New problems:
I have loaded 5 different calendars from my Gmail. How come all of them are represented by pink colour? I'd like different colours for each calendar, as in Gmail and as the old calendar app allowed. Can't find any menu for this setting.
The phone no longer displays all entries from the Gmail calendars. All my calendar is there, as some upcoming entries are shown. I can't figure out why other upcoming entries are left out.
I hope someone can help.
I have the same issue. (About pink color)
My post (posted in the kxROM thread hoping kx knew something).

I'm not entirely sure if it's the SE layer ontop of the stock apps, but obviously *searching* like everyone says isn't the case - I've tried and nothing has come up working.
I having the same problem also.
But it works when I clear data on calendar.
You may wanna try this, but I stop auto sync first in case anything happened.
Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Application>, press Menu button, select Filter, select All.
After all applications shown, select Calendar and clear data, then Calendar Storage and clear data.
After clearing both data, then launch Calendar. I done these and the calendar can be launched. Then I turn on auto snyc again.
Same calendar problem, unable to fix it until now
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to .435 firmware, all my calendars (5 of them) turn up pink.
I have a smooth calendar widget that shows the correct colors. But somehow the calendar app itself does not read those colors.
I've tried to erase the data from both calendar and calendar storage.
Doesn't work.
I use my phone for business. This app is a must have!
Anybody please?
I've tried the clear data procedure as well, and no luck.
(Turned off auto-sync, forced-closed both, cleared data, rebooted).
I've also tried to replace it with a stock version, I just googled Android 2.1 stock calendar.apk. I know I'm most definitely missing something here, so someone that knows what they're doing fix my mistake. (if its possible)
I tried replacing the CalendarProvider.apk and added Calendar.apk (I also tested renaming Calendar.apk to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk to replace default).
So still looking for a fix to this disaster of a calendar application.
Edit: @Jaydee-S - so if the widget shows the right color, maybe we can isolate the problem to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, which is just putting Pink for all the calendars and no options to change them. - Devs help us out please
I just downloaded Business Calendar Beta from the market.
Works perfectly and is a good alternative to the SE calendar.
But the questions remain: Why doesn't the SE calendar work and why doesn't everybody experience the same?
Actually that app you posted blows the stock one out of the water in my opinion. Good find.
Now i can delete SemcCalendarLargeui.apk no need to even see it.
omg, I deleted SemcCalendarLargeui.apk by mistake....can someone please upload the apk for me.
Has a solution been found to display the correct calendar colors in the stock calendar app, instead of the default pink that came with upgrading to .435?
Sorry dude, I have the same problem and have searched everywhere, without any luck.
My solution is business calendar app on the 435 rom.
Right now I'm using Trip's MIUI rom: try it out, it is blazing fast and works very well. Use it as my daily rom now. Last but not least: here the calendar works

Gmail and calendars not syncing

It seems like I have to manually sync both gmail and calendars. Is any one else experiencing this?
Running latest update with launcher pro and rooted
i had the same problem, but dont quite remember solution, had to enable background data, and clear the cache on the gmail, thats all i can remember for now
i had this issue, when i accidentally disabled sync in the power control widget, then removed the widget. added the widget back, turned sync back on, removed the widget again.
I'll give that a shot.

Thanks so much! I was going through the exact same problem and going crazy!! Then I read your post and realized I played with (and uninstalled) SuperPower control widget yesterday also ... same deal, I guess I messed with the settings and somehow disabled syncing .. I now re-installed, turned syncing back on and removed program.. whew!!
I use the default android widget and turn on the sync option(the one with two arrow), it works for me.
Try it again by sending a email to yourself. See if it syncs
How do you clear the cache on Gmail? I have a bug where it still shows a mail count and deleting the message doesn't delete from my account so I have to use the web interface to actually delete messages. Hoping this would help?!

I've been racking my mind for 4 days now! Thanks sooo much for jogging my memory!
Hey Everyone,
I'm having the same issue with Gmail not syncing properly.
w/ Bell Mobility, rooted
The syncing icon is persistent in the status bar and nothing is happening. In the gmail app itself I will get proper unread message counts but the messages will not display. I have had to change my google password twice because it's getting "suspicious activity". I'm assuming this is being caused by the app. Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago.
I've tried clearing the cache and it will load it fine, once. After that same issue. I'm going to try clearing the cache and reinstalling the app to see if that makes a difference.
I've also tried disabling/enabled auto-sync and it hasn't made a difference either.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
UPDATE:
-- removed gmail updates from the market **No change**
-- it's still retrieving new e-mails but the sync icon in the status bar stays the same.. I have no idea what's going on now.

S Voice fails to add calendar appointment

When I'm trying to create a calendar appointment using S Voice, it creates the appointment, but when it asks to save, it fails
Here is a screen shot
View attachment 1432065
Any ideas ... Have tried it a few times, after reboot etc, but still nothing
I'm not sure but this might be linked to which calendars are enabled, s voice might be linked to only the Samsung calender?
Signed in with the Samsung account and selected Samsung calendar as default, but it still ailed
Ok, was just trying a few things out, and force stopped the s planner app and then clear cache. It now saves the appointment, which is good news, however, it seems to save it in the local my calendar and not the gmail calendar that I am using. I only have the gmail calendar selected in settings, calendars ... Any ideas how to default it to gmail?

Was this a permanent fix?
Nope, it did not fix it permanently, it still does the same thing until I clear the cache and then it saves .... Really not sure what is wrong with it

Did you ever get this to work? I have the same issue. Sprint even replaced my device, but the problem remains. I have exhausted as much as I know to do, but I can't get it to work?
There's a thread on Android Central for a user with a Galaxy Note 2 having the same problem. Weird part is, I have a Note 2 and can Save using S-Voice.

Nope, never managed to fix it permanently, only getting it work after a clear cache

[Q] - weirdness in settings/accounts/google

Hello guys
I noticed something strange opening the setting pane of my Google account. A screen shot is attached.
If I remember correctly, the last time I opened it there were no entries with a star beside them - basically, only sync App data, chrome, calendar, contact, Gmail, Google fit, people.
I installed a few apps recently, among which a calendar widget, chromer, chrome remote and the Google package (with voice search etc).
I tried to hunt down the reason why those 'new' entries are there uninstalling all of the apps I installed recently. Had no luck.
Also it seems that, if I disable, say, Sync location reporting and location history , it is enabled again at the following boot.
So the question : why they are there?
Thank you.

No notifications from Calendar

Hi!
I use Calendar with DAVdroid (sysnces events with nextcloud), but I noted that there are missing notifications on my Mate 10 Pro.
Strange thing is that sometimes notification appears, but that's random and very rare.
I tried to look into Settings -> Battery -> Launch, but there's no Calendar application to manage.
As alternative, I tried to install several calendars from Play store, but for only Today Calendar gives me a notification (but I don't like the visual).
Anyone else with similar problem?
Did you look at notifications parameters - application - notifications ?
There is no "notifications parameters", but yes, I went to Settings - > Apps & notifications - > Notifications management - > Calendar and there all is allowed.
As I already wrote, strange thing is that sometimes notification appears, but that's random and very rare.

Ok that's what I wanted to tell you.
It's an known issue with some apps. Oreo or emui problem.
But a lot of calendar app works well.
So I'm surprised

Is the battery settings switched on to "power saving mode" ?
No.
Neither "Power sawing mode" nor "Ultra power sawing mode".
Watch comment on DAVdroid app and it appears some people have sync problem...
Ask to dev maybe...
The problem is not in DAVdroid, as it does his syncing well (I see that because new or changed entries are immediately on my nextcloud web).
Notifications come from Calendar application (in rare cases when they appear), and to be sure, I just created some test event in Phone account (not synced to anything), same result.

Few questions/checks, if you can:
1) What is your sw version of mobile phone?
2) Exact version of your Calendar app (Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Calendar and there it states that mine is 8.0.0.300)?
3) Do you use some sync with cloud (CardDAV, Google, etc.)?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sw version is 127-C432 if it what you mean by sw version
Mine is 8.0.0.300 too
I m using Google sync only
Almost everything like mine.
I guess next step would be reinstall the Calendar app, but as it's system app I probably can't do it without root.
Phone reset is also not an option as I already installed lot of stuff which I don't want to reinstall again.
I guess I should wait until next sw release and temporary stuck with DigiCal, which works good for now.

Yes, probably with root only...
If you don't want to do a factory reset, you have to wait a new sw release for sure..
Did you try to wipe cache the phone or calendar app?
Just tried to clean cache of Calendar, first notification appeared, but second time still nothing.
Still, I think this is a good idea, later I'll try to clear data for Calendar and wrote if this will produce any progress.

Ok, let me know about progress then
Didn't help, clearing app data only removed settings for Calendar.
Well, I'm getting used to DigiCal+, for now it works as alternative.

Ok thanks for feedback.
Anyway DigiCal+ seems to be a good calendar !
Yep, it is
Only sad thing is that my previous phone (LG G5) has working and good calendar out of box, almost the same as DigiCal+, but I'll live with that
