Calendar only sync's main calendar... - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I gotta a problem. My phone will only sync my main gmail calendar, and not my subcalendars, which is a real pain in the ass. My gmail structure is the following:
Home (Main calendar)
Uni (Sub calendar)
Work (Sub calendar)
Sport (Sub calendar)
If I edit, add or delete a event in Home from desktop it sync's, same thing if I do it on the phone. However it doesn't sync with my sub calendars (it doesn't get any events down, so calendars are empty on phone), so if a add a event on my phone it doesn't sync to gmail, if I add on gmail it doesn't sync to phone
Checked the settings, all the calendars are set to sync and be visible, have manually sync'ed a 1000 times. It started to happend sometime late last week, haven't had any problems before

Tried to wipe all calendar data, and that worked
Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Calendar Storage > Clear data > OK

Multiple gmail calendars [SOLVED]

Is it just me and my htc hero or its not possible to use more then 1 calendar with gmail account?
I have multiple calenders that I use with my gmail account but I only see the first one (work) and can't add events or see any other calendar!
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks
go to the calendar, click menu, then the 'Calendars' icon.
You should be able to select multiple calendars. I have 6!
I already did that before I posted question here and this is
what I see there (take a look at attached picture)
I guess I didn't understand the question fully...
I have multiple calendars within my main Google calendar. I presume you have multiple google accounts with separate calendars?
I'm not sure you can configure your phone to pick up more than one calendar at a time.
I do have multiple gmail accounts but in this case we are talking about
ONE gmail account with multiple calenders.As you can see I get only ONE calender which I find bit odd since it should sync both my calenders.
Been looking on gmail account settings for a way to solve this but no luck so far.
After fideling with settings and going back and fort with gmail account setting
I finaly got my second calender on hero.
Here is what you need to do in case you have same issue as me:
1.Make appointment/entry on the web in your gmail account on you second calender (or on one you are missing on your phone)
2.Do following on your phone: go to settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, find Calender and Calender storage and push Clear data button on both.This way you are dumping your existing data from calender on yor phone.
3.Go to you calender app on you phone and it wil start sync like it did first time, and voila both calenders are available now.
Well done mate, glad you managed to figure it out.
Out of interest. Did you add your second calendar (Private) after you originally synced your google account with your hero?
i.e. you have to follow your steps if you add another calendar from now on??
Cheers
Second one "private" was made the same time as I added "work" one (few years back), so in theory it should be synced along with work when I added my account on hero. Why it was not synced in the first place? ...one of "hero's" mysteries
I made a test calender just a few sec ago and this one did sync right away with hero, so no need for dumping cache and forcing sync to get new calender.
I had probably calendar cache issue which fixed it self when I dumped the whole thing and force synced.

[Q] Calendar Sync

Hello
I'm having trouble getting the Calendar on the SGS2 to sync with the Calendar on google?
Now I can create an appointment, and it appears on google and the phone, but if I create it on Google the phone won't update.
The sync checkbox is ticked, and every time I create a new event on the Calendar i'm greeted by
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My Calendar to sync with Kies"
followed by
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account"
So I have sync running, emails are pushing, and as I said items created on the Phone push to Google, but I can't get Google to push back to the phone, can anyone explain to me what i'm doing wrong
Many Thanks,
Luke.
I have the same problem. Have had the problem for a while on multiple roms and kernels
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
O great, so its F'd then
Maybe i'll be getting the Galaxy Nexus then.
The Calendar app can work with many calendar sources. I have it syncing it with gmail, yahoo and also the phone's internal calendar (which is also the one KIES deals with).
When you go into Calendar -> Menu -> Settings -> Calendars. You will see all the accounts that independently sync with the Calendar app. So you can have an appointment via a work's account and another appointment via your gmail account. The gmail appointment will only sync with the gmail account and the work's appointment will only sync with the work's account.
What it appears to be is that you create an appointment in gmail (on the web) and it will happily appear on the web and also on your phone soon after. Any modifications to that appointment on the phone will appear on the web.
A new appointment created on the phone is saved as a local calendar event. Go to Calendar -> Menu -> Create. You will see half-way down an option called 'Calendar' select your gmail account from this option. As long as you save the new appointment the Calendar app will use that as the default calendar.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have had the stock calendar working but I would highly recommend Business Calendar.
Way better in every way.

[Q] Calendar sync to Google

Dears,
how is it possible to sync the calendar to Google?
When I created the 1st event, the phone asked me if to save to personal calendar or Google Calendar, so all my events are on personal calendar.
I enabled synchronization to my Google account, but it does nothing.
How can I sync all events to Google calendar?
Thanks and best regards

Go to settings > account & sync > Sync Gmail account. Your calendar should get synchronised.
Hope this helps!
Well, unfortunately this doesn't work, it starts syncing and finishes in just 5 seconds...
when the phone asks you to save the calender event to personal calendar or Google Calendar.... save it to google calender... it will be synced with your google calender account...
there is no easy way you can migrate the personal calender entries to google calender... so redo all those entries and save to google calender
Eheh... 5 years of events... amazing...
I think at this point I have to sync through Outlook...
I found this on a website:
1. Go to Applications under the Settings Menu
2. Select Manage Applications. Will take a few seconds to load.
3. Scroll down to Calendar Storage.
4. Midway down under Storage you will see "Clear Data" button. Press the button. This wipes out the data in the calendar on the PHONE ONLY. You now have a calendar with no data.
5. Go out to main screen and select the Menu button.
6. Select "Accounts & Sync.
7. Select the Google choice and the next screen should give you the choices of GMail, Contacts and calendar.
8. Select calendar and let it sync. Don't interrupt the process untill you get the green check mark in the box.

No option to sync calendar

Even though I created my Google account from the phone, I only see the option to sync Books, Contact and Gmail from Accounts and Sync. Even if I go into the calendar's settings it throws me back to the same selections - with no way to sync the calendar. Sure enough, none of the items on the web version of the calendar show up on the phone.
You might want to recreating your Google account. I sync calendars just fine and all I did was add my account to the phone.
That worked, deleted my account and re-added it, now the calendar shows up as an option to sync. And everything shows up on the calendar.

[Q] Delete "Corporate" email account Android 4.4

Hi, I'm running stock Android 4.4 on a Nexus 5.
Does anyone know how to delete an email account listed under Corporate in Settings / Accounts. I deleted two Hotmail accounts by clicking > Settings > IMAP > *click on account* > Settings > Remove Account. However, both Hotmail accounts are still showing in the Calendar and Email apps. I was trying to uninstall my Hotmail accounts and reinstall them again as my Hotmail calendars were showing duplicate entries in the calendar app. Now it seems they are uninstallable / unremovable?!!!
Please help!
PROBLEM SOLVED
EDIT: I rebooted my phone and checked the sync boxes under Settings > Corporate > *account* and the Remove Account option showed up under the Settings Dots. God. What a palava. Why do those boxes have to be ticked to have the Remove Account option showing?!
