[Q] New calendar event sync failure - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

gday,
GT-P7510 running android 3.1 kernel 2.6.36.3 starburst 8.8.UEKMB rom
calendar events created by third party apps such as Jorte will not sync (upload) to google calendar.
Have tried several different 3rd party apps (e.g. pure cal) with same result.
Calendar events created on the web calendar will percolate through to tablet calendar, events modified on tablet will go through to google, also events created on the stock calendar application sync up to google, also events created on tablet with 3rd party app will appear in stock calendar on tablet.
It is just events created with 3rd party apps (jorte, purecal) that never percolate through to google calendar online (and then to other device).
I started trying to fix this on unrooted stock tablet, now rooted running starburst rom. Online (in a forum for business cal i think) there is some suggestion that samsung calendar has produced a similar problem in froyo 2.2, but thats the only hint for cause/solution I can find online.
any advice? its ugly using stock calendar for event creation and jorte for everything else.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

[Q] android calendar on latest Cyanogen Roms?

Hello! I'm a new Android user but I don't want to share my personal data with google. Is it a way to run android calendar instead of Google calendar on a 2.3.7 CyanogenMod Rom?
I've downloaded several other calendar apps (Jorte, Calendroid, FliqAgenda, GeminiCalendar, BusinessCalendar) but none could help me to store my appointments on a local database that I could retrieve with MyPhoneExplorer.
Any clue?
Nobody can help?
Export data from your google acc, and import to my phone explorer.

Thanks for your reply. But I don't understand how this can solve my problem.
It seems there is no android calendar provider on CM ROMs, only Google one. When entering a new appointment I only have the choice between Exchange and Google. My data are already in the PC and managed by MyPhoneExplorer. I've erased all the data from my Google account I don't want to register to Google to be able to use my phone, I don't have to. I refuse their privacy policy.
On LG genuine ROMS we had android Mail and GMail, android Calendar and Google Calendar we could live without a Google account, the same on derivated ROMs like EleganceSwift 5.0 if I remember.
Hm, sorry for misanderstending.

You can try the calendar app from miui rom.,...looking for a solution myself.my tablet is aosp so the options are limited to Google or exchange whereas my phone I could just sync using outlook

[Q] New calendar items show as meeting requests in Outlook

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 10, and I am connected to an Exchange 2010 Server. (Although this problem existed with the stock ROM as well.) When I create a new appointment on my calendar from the phone, it shows as a meeting request instead of a "normal" calendar item. It wouldn't be too much of a problem, except for when I try to edit an entry in Outlook it will say "You are changing details for a meeting on your calendar and you are not the meeting organizer."
Has anyone else experienced this? This problem did not exist on my Samsung Captivate running CM9.
Thanks!
Yes, same problem for me.
When you use the S-planner (Samsung's calender) it's all good.
But with CM10 or even with Google's own calender app on a Sammy ROM one is not able to edit all the calender items except the ones which are meeting requests.
This also means that when you delete a calender item which was created by the Google calendar you get a e-mail saying the organizer deleted the calendar item.
Very annoying!
Update on this: it seems that the problem is the Exchange server together with Android. No problem on a iPhone or Nokia.
Already found out that there is one update which is responsible for this. Just have to figure out which.

[Q] Local Calendar and Contacts for AOSP (and also AOKP & CM)

I'm looking for an application that creates a local calendar on phone. I have AOKP and I had in the past on my Samsung Stock ROM one local calendar on the phone that is not synchronized with google.
I downloaded such an app and it called DejaOffice. However, due to some bug (or lake of one feature) I prefer to use some other solution.
If you can list some app that is similar to DegaOffice that you use, that would be great.

Hi XdaProNoob,
please check out an app I developed some weeks ago. It does what you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871053
Calendar Manager will create a local (offline) calendar, that cannot be synchronized to google, but to other apps like MyPhoneExplorer. More info can be found here: http://www.zoks.net/solutions/calendar-manager
BTW: It comes without a calendar viewer or widget, all it does is providing the local calendar storage in your device database, so it is very lightweight.

many thanks!
I tested it, and it does exactly what it claims.
My only question is, would it become an open source project in the future?

[Q] Issue with CalendarContract and event sync

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I'm having some trouble finding the best place to post it...
I am trying to write a calendar sync app to sync with a third party calendar server. The app will sync with the Android system using CalendarContract. I have the app working and in most cases, it works flawlessly. However, in some cases, it fails and when it does, events from the sync'd calendar completely fail to show up on the standard Google Android calendar app. I haven't been able to find the common link yet as to what causes the failure, but once an event is added that breaks the calendar all events from that calendar fail to show up in the calendar app. I am still able to query the CalendarContract and all events show up in my debug logs as well as in the CalendarDebugger database export, they just don't display on the calendar.
Note that, when using aCalendar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar) the events all display properly, so I believe the issue is in how the Calendar App specifically is querying and/or rendering my events.
Anyone have any ideas where I might start working on troubleshooting? The problem is, the calendar app doesn't provide any debugging feedback whatsoever in the event loading process. I've looked through all of my events on the failing calendar, and there are only 6 and I'm not seeing anything that strikes me as invalid. My server side calendar only produces a JSON feed. So I can look at the JSON feed and the SQLITE.db file that the android calendar app exports, and they both look identical so I'm pretty sure I'm getting through the SyncAdapter stages successfully...
I have tried this on the following devices and have the same issue on all of them:
HTC Rezound (Stock HTC Sense ROM with ICS 4.0.3)
Motorola XOOM (Stock ROM with ICS 4.1.2)
HTC Droid DNA (Stock HTC Sense ROM with JB 4.2.2)
Nexus 7 (1st edition, stock ROM with KK 4.4)
Nexus 10 (Stock ROM with KK 4.4)
As you can see, I am pretty much running the gamut of API levels that support the CalendarContract, so this does not appear to be a device specific, manufacturer specific, or API-level specific problem.
Thank you for your help!!

Removing Google Calendar app hides all google calendars

I have encountered a problem on several different android phones. calendars are disappearing if I install+uninstall the Google Calendar App (the official one)
Steps to reproduce:
install some calendar app (i.e. Business calendar)
install Google Calendar
make sure that your google calendars are shown correctly in both apps.
uninstall google calendar
Now the calendars have disappeared from the other calendar app and there is no way to add them again (they are not showing up in the list).
I have seen the problem on Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note3, Nexus4+5, HTC One
Installing the Google calendar app again makes it possible to first re-enable the calendars in Google Calendar app and then they are again possible to add in the other calendar apps.
Is there a way to fix this without having to have the google calendar app installed (dont want it installed as it is a huge BatteryHog using 30-40% of my battery for "StartingAlarmService").

And finally I found a working solution myself (of cause only after posting my question here after a lot of testing).
The simple fix (for others with the problem) is:
- go into setting-> applications manager -> all
- Find Calendar Storage
- clear cache+data and force stop
- wait a few minutes as the service will resync calendar data.
Now the calendars are available again
Thanks so much
Thanks man it helped me after some searching
