When I'm trying to create an even I get a message "Local calendar cannot sync with google calendar. you need a google account"
Well.. I have a google account and I have the calender marked with sync active and in the calendar settings set my google calendar as the only calendar.
WTF?!

I get the same but if I go into Google Calendar and sync, I am able to save the event.
The same issue for me here..
I create an event in the phone calendar, then I go to web Google calendar to check the event, and it's not there.. Even if I try syncing manually multiple times..
It's strange behavior because sometimes events sync and shown in Google calendar immediately when created in the phone..
Is there a fix for this issue ?
I had a slightly different message and figured something out, mine was
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies"
AND
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account"
It then gives me the option to go to accounts and sync, when I do so the calendar gets stuck with the syncing.
But when I create an event it syncs to my google calendar. So I just set it to ignore and things seem to work fine.Anyone else?

Ok i've got a S2, and i've decided to use the google calendar sync service.
So i've put my appointments in the Calendar online, and though ok here goes.
open up the calendar and i'm greeted with 'Googl calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies' well i don't have Kies so der. but then 'Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account'
ok so i've got one account, the sync for calendar is ticked, so what am i missing?
i've wiped data, and tried choosing 'My Calendar' and obviously the Gmail calendar. but no
If I create an appointment it appears on the phone and magically appears online? can't sync huh?
but it won't download my online calendar, but i can delete the entry on the phone or on the PC and it disappears on both. So what the Hell is going on?
Help please!
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.

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.

I have had the stock calendar working but I would highly recommend Business Calendar.
Way better in every way.
I have a strange problem where the events in my Google Calendar are not syncing with the stock calendar application.
There are one or two of the latest events that I have added, and these show up in both locations, but all previous events are nowhere to be seen.
When I click on a day in the calendar app I get two messages:
Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies - irrelevant, I do not use Kies.
Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account - at which I go to the account and sync it. Nothing happens.
I can create an event in my Google calendar and it pops straight through as it should do, but none of the previous events and I keep getting these sync errors.
Please help, as it's giving me a headache.
Thanks.

Hmm ... that is not easy to solve.
I also had a similar issue with my Google calendar synch.
After installing a leaked version of Google Talk with Video chat (I think it was the one from paulobrien => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075494&highlight=modaco+talk), my Google account was deleted and I had to create it again.
Since then, I have no problem to synch my Google calendar entries.
Everything is fine now.
So, you may try to delete your Google account on your phone and re-install it again afterwards.
Good luck !
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.
Im trying to sync my contacts and calendar from the phone to gmail so its available out there in case I need to pull it down to reset/new phone etc. I finally figured out how to get my freaking contacts out there. But the calendar is still not showing up on my gmail account calendar online. I only have the one calendar on the phone, everything is checked and it acts like it syncs, no errors, but calendar is blank online gmail. What could be the issue?
I just read that one person stated you can NOT sync from the phone calendar to gmail, only the other way around...this cant be true.

Its not true. You can sync between your gmail calendars fine between phone and gmail. But the samsung also adds a new calendar in the Calendars app called "Samsung Calendar" and this does not show up in gmail. At least from my experience.
Same issue here. Except I think I'm trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to get what's in my gmail calendar to show up on the phone's calendar and I can't figure out how. When I open up the calendar app, I have "My Calendar" and below that I have my gmail calendar. If I put a checkmark on the gmail calendar, all my events show up, but if I remove the checkmark and only show "My Calendar", obviously none of my events show up.
Is there any way I can move the events in the gmail calendar into "My Calendar"?
Actually you just said the same thing, so it does appear you cant sync the phone default calendar with gmail, at least not sync from phone to online, only the other way. Why the hell would there be more than one on there? Sorry coming from an iphone pretty much you had the calendar app right there on the home screen and the S3 is the same, but sorry this one doesnt play well with google?? Ok so is there an easy way to sync the phone calendar with the phone gmail calendar, then sync it online?
Dont get me wrong, I will not miss the iphone at all, just seems some simple tasks should well, be simple. Thanks guys
