My google calendar and outlook 2007 both have calendar events going back to february, but my phone has only been updated from May. So none of my past events are on the phone for february, march and april. Can I fix that?
I've already done a clear data in application management and it resynced, but still didn't give me the full amount of previous events.
I searched for an option to sync past events but don't see it. Someone else may be able to point the option out if it exists.

Hi all,
Received my new Thunderbolt on Friday and all looks good except battery life and the Exchange ActiveSync Calendar sync. The battery life I can work around, but it seems a lot of people trying to sync the TB to an Exchange 2010 calendar are having issues. I cant post links yet, but a google search for "thunderbolt exchange calendar" will show the posts from others.
Here is what is happening:
When the account is created on the phone, the initial sync of calendar fails with "sync is currently experiencing problems". No existing events are pulled to the phone. However, you can create new events and they do sync immediately with the Exchange calendar - edits and deletes are fine too.
This is likely a Sense 2.0 issue because 2.2 with Sense 1 works fine on other devices with Exchange 2010.
I have tried removing the account several times, clearing data in the calendar app, removed all sync accounts and readded - nothing works. I changed the duration of data sync for calendar, nothing.
I am going to try removing the phone relationship from the Exchange server and start over to see if that works.
Just posting here as an FYI and to see if anyone has an idea for troubleshooting.
Tried wiping the phone and deleting the Exchange relationship - no go, same issue.
I am having the same issue. There is a Google thread in their forums with others as well
I hope they get it fixed soon.
Exchange issues have plagued 2.2 for some time.
Works great in 2.3 however (not a help I know).
Which data package are you subscribed to?

I'm not sure if that plan is similar to the following two data packages offered by Verizon.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...m=phoneFirst&featureType=phone&featureId=2547
I have broken Active Sync as well. I love HTC phones and my Incredible was killer phone wise, synced with no issues - even when the Motorola phones where broken due to an update that forced security policies to the phones.
I just spoke to someone at Verizon and they where not aware of any issues. The data package shouldn't effect sync issues cos I haven't paid their exchange package EVER and have had 0 issues with exchange mail with 2 other phones. This is exclusive to the Tbolt.
FYI...Only fix is to Root device
Active sync works with everything once I rooted the TB. The calendar sync didn't work before root. I rooted and kept the default HTC ROM and kernel and then the calendar sync started working. I didn't try contact sync before I was rooted so I can't comment on the validity of this working before root. Hope this sheds some light on the subject. I seems that VZW blocks the sync active sync unless you purchase the higher "business" data plan.

Rooting doesnt make any difference for us, we have 3 Bolts at work all rooted running different ROMS and none would sync calendar with Exchange.
The workaround is to go into your calendar, change to list view, select all items, add a category (any will do). Then select all items again and remove the category. After that sync of calendar items both past and future will work.
Tried to search if everyone was aware of this problem. Don't see any references, so posting in hopes it would help others.
If you just flashed one of the awesome ICS ROMs out there and getting constant FC with the error "Google Calendar Sync Has Stopped", you may be experiencing what I have. Note: This doesn't seem to affect all ICS ROMs as I didnt have this issue with Seraphim, but I'm on Objection right now and this is exactly what is going on with my Calendar.
I've been troubleshooting, installing/uninstalling system apks, finding workarounds and have had no luck figuring this one out. At first I thought it was just an exchange issue (another problem i wont get into). But after searching the web it looks to be a known issue with "Recurring Event" and the ICS sync engine. Because I had problems with Exchange Sync on my device, I ended up syncing my Exchange Calendar with Google using a third party app (gSyncit), so I have multiple recurring meetings in my Google Calendar.
Here is an excerpt from 'ISTAR' in a google groups thread:
"The problem appears when you have eventfull calendars, with repeating events. It looks like not all of them are able to be processed with Android sync daemon. Here is the threat discussing that issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23175 Depending from your calendar there could be 1 or more events bothering that app. So you have to identify them and recreate it or if you got unlucky: refrain from using such pattern.
The easiest way to identify the wrecker is 1) to install log reading app, e.g. aLogcat from Market, 2) Go Setting->Accounts->Google->UnCheck/Check Calendar wait for the error "google calendar sync has stopped" 3) run to aLogcat, pause and scroll to the red lines, saying something like "error in recurring pattern =MO TU WE, etc." The error text can vary depending from the nature of your problem. 4) Try to identify which one is bad event and remove it from all calendars. 5) Resync and go to step 1 if error appears again. After 2-3 iteration you should vanish all your malicious events.
And I don't think google will fix it fast. The problem is being known since December 11, and still in progress.
Good luck!"
I confirmed this by following his steps and removed all my recurring events one-by-one until Calendar synced successfully without the FC.
Since I haven't been able to get Exchange sync or Google Calendar Sync to work with my work email. I've resorted to using Touchdown as the solution, until this is fixed or until I find a better workaround.
Hopefully someone finds this helpful, or can provide me with a solution.
No issues with calendar sync on that Rom here....recurring events and new events sync fine.
Which version of the Rom are you using
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
im on the newest objection 2. seems that this is only affecting a handful of people (only two others on the dev thread has mentioned it). it could possibly be a way that google calendar saves exchange items in its database and unable to process it on the device. dont know. frustrating. ive also tried taking the seraphim calendar apk and dropping it in with no luck. so im stumped.
this is the only issue from making my device perfect with objection which i think is the cleanest cooked up rom
It definitely could be an exchange issue.
I do not use exchange so have no way of testing
There's an app for it
I had this issue after updating my Galaxy Note to ICS 4.0.3. Calendar sync caused forced close and no data was synced. Bought an app called CalenGoo for less than EUR5 after confirming with the very helpful dev that it is not reliant on the defective ICS sync engine. Got everything up and running in seconds!
Deleting recurring events (weekly meetings with colleagues etc) is simply not something anyone who uses their Google calendar for anything serious is going to do. And again no guarantee that adding the meetings again would not just cause the same problem. Rather buy a phone that works.
Also tried deleting my corporate google account from the phone and re-adding it (my personal account synced just fine). Not intrigued to factory reset the phone and restore all apps and lose their settings etc. while there is no guarantee that it would do any good.
It is ridiculous that Google/Samsung would release this kind of defective crap, and makes you think what else might be wrong with ICS if QA is this bad.
Fixed my issue!
Hi,
Thanks for sharing this information!
I use gSyncIt to sync from Outlook to Google, then Google Calendar Sync to sync from Google to an Asus Transformer TF101. It worked fine until I upgraded from Honeycomb to ICS and my main calendar failed to sync from that point on, with the dreaded "Sorry" message.
I followed the tips in the first post and discovered I had only one problematic recurring calendar entry. It used this Outlook pattern:
Weekly repeat, Mondays to Fridays only, started July 16, finished August 10
When I deleted it the sync worked OK. When I recreated it using this:
Daily repeat, weekdays only, started July 16, finished August 10it still didn't work. Mind you gSyncIt could be representing both of these patterns the same way in Google Calendar.
In the end I recreated the repeating calendar entry as 4 separate week long repeating events and it synced fine to Google and through to ICS.
So if you are running into this bug my suggestion would be to check for any daily recurring events that run longer than a week but exclude some days of the week (especially weekends). I have lots of other daily, weekly and monthly recurring events but this is the only one that had that pattern (and the only one that killed the syncing process).
Thanks,
Matt
OP - thanks for the info, been experiencing this since I've upgraded my Galaxy Note to ICS.
One thing to add upon the info on this thread -- it seems to me that when accessing, via the Google Calendar website, the events that cause the crashes, they seem to show a message "This event has a recurrence rule that cannot be edited in Google Calendar" next to the "Repeat:" checkbox of the event.
This might be easier to detect for you than searching the logs. Of course, you still have to go over all of your reoccurring events to find the offending ones.

thanks for showing a way out.. fishing for those offending entries...
Simple mistake maybe
Hi folks I thought I had this same problem as well but found out there was a simple solution. If the duplicate events have a different colour tab on the lefthand side it means they are coming from different calendar feeds and to stop this happening I just clicked on the drop down menu next to 'Calendar' top left of screen and unchecked everything apart from my Gmail email address & UK Holidays.
After that everything went back to normal ... simple mistake or just me?

There was one offending monthly reminder about my Evernote subscription, deleted the series, sync working now. Happy!
I have only Google Calendar (3 agendas thouhg - personal, professional, birthdays) and after I upgraded my Defy to ICS (Nightly build of 2012.05.29, Kernel CM9) I cannot sync Calendar anymore. Try out different Gapps, always cleaning/wiping cache/dalvik, but nothing seems to solve the problem. Not sure what else I could try. Has anyone find a solution/workaround?
First off, this isn't my phone, it's a co-worker's. I'm in IT and actually have access to our Exchange 2007 server. My Galaxy SIII doesn't have this problem, neither do any other iPhones or Android phones in the office.
Ever since an update earlier this month, the phone will not sync with the exchange calendar at all. He claims to have not had an issue prior to that. However, I've noticed that most calendar items aren't there, but recurring items that he made himself (not sure if that was on the phone or not) are on the calendar, even as of this week's calendar. I don't know if that's due to old items being deleted or not. New calendar items aren't syncing to the phone, though. You also cannot create a new event on the phone via the exchange account. After hitting save, a message will briefly confirm the event is saved, and nothing will appear on the calendar.
Everything else about the exchange connection works just fine: emails, tasks, contacts, all fine. In the sync menu, it's showing that they're all automatically syncing, but nothing actually appears in the calendar.
Is there something I'm missing that I wouldn't know as someone who hadn't bought the phone? After researching here and on Google, I can't seem to find anyone else with this specific issue, or at least something related to a recent update. It does look like the EVO in general isn't great at syncing with exchange.
EDIT: Somehow after making a PC Sync event and google calendar event, I was able to then make an exchange event, which appeared on his outlook calendar. Still, nothing is syncing. PC Sync is entirely empty.
Details:
Not rooted
Android: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 3.6
Software version: 2.89.651.2 710RD
EDIT 2: Now newly created items made from the PC are syncing as well. Already existing ones are still missing. What the hell, man. Should I just have him re-create the account on the phone to force an update of those missing items?
Not an expert at all, but I was going to suggest deleting the account on the phone and recreating it. Maybe some setting is corrupted that recreating will remedy.

Hi there, am looking for some help with a problem that is driving me mad !
A few weeks back, noticed that my calendar had a couple of duplicated appointments and was missing a few from that day. Wasn’t a big issue and cleared Calendar cache and resynced and everything came back ok.
However since then, it has been getting progressively worse and worse – where today I have 40+ copies of some of todays appointments and missing everything in the afternoon!
I have tried a factory reset, and am only using Exchange as the single account on the phone. No other accounts are synced at all. And email seems unaffected, just calendar.
Am on a stock-VF 4.1.1 ROM – no mods at all, with kernal 3.0.31-256827.
I’m using sPlanner as the calendar App, but have also installed the “JB Calendar” and another calendar app – neither show my correct information.
Our local tech support for Exchange, tell me this is a phone issue – but after a replacement phone – it can’t be … right?
So today, have removed the exchange account again, wiped phone, readded – and end up with duplicates within 20-30 mins of setting up account. Now tearing my hair out….so would welcome any recommendations or suggestions?
Many thanks,
C&A.
At the end of today, had 450 copies of one appointment... something is clearly not right!
First my device background. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ on Verizon with the latest security patches. Android 8.0 firmware version G955USQS5CSB1. I'm not sure if that matters. I am using the stock + patched gmail app on the phone.
I am an office 365 user, although I also have a couple other accounts that are on-premise Exchange.
Whenever I receive a calendar meeting invite, if I accept it on my phone, the calendar meeting gets updated fine, the message goes to deleted items - fine, but I then have an unread count of 1. Every meeting I accept the count goes up by one. It never clears. The only way I have found to clear that is to remove the entire account and then re-add.
If I accept the message in Outlook on my PC I do not have this issue.
I haven't tried the outlook app on my phone - I don't like it that much.
I also have an iPad mini, latest patch version, and I don't have this problem there.
This isn't a particularly new problem, but I accidentally accepted an appointment this weekend and I'd really be happy if there was another solution before I remove all my email and resync again, and more importantly that I might someday be able to accept meeting appointments on my phone.
