Hi,
I am using the calender that came on my Samsung Galazy S 2. It worked fine for a few days. I transfered my paper diary onto the phone diary and syncd it with my google account and my facebook. First I had trouble with the facebook sync as, even though I had 'hide delined events' ticked it would not do so. This meant I just unchecked facebook in the 'Calenders' section and had nothing showing from facebook at all as my whole diary was spammed up with things I didn;t want in there I was not going to and could not get rid off. This fustrated me, but I put in things I wanted to go to maually and I thought it would be fine.
The real trouble started randomly one night when I went to look at my calender and everything had gone! I mean every event in the whole calender. I went online and checked and it was all on the online google calender. I re syncd my phone with google and it seemed to be ok, however it hadn't added all the events, some I had in 2012, such as holiday dates, had not been addded despite them being on google fine. So I re syncd to see if this would add the missing dates, however it just removed every event again!
I system restored the phone and tried starting again from scratch. We re syncd the phone and it did the whole thing over again. Also when we go into 'Settings' 'Calenders' it only shows 'my calender' and no google at all now.
What is going on! I am getting really fustrated as one of the main things I wanted to use my phone for was the calender fuction with the handy screen widgets. I have lost appointments that people have booked because of this (thankfully I keep a paper diary still out of fear of 'not being able to trust technology! haha :S)
Please any help would be greatly appreiciated as it's fustrating me to the point of taking the phone back to the shop and everything else with it is fine. I did ask in the shop for another question relating to the in phone fuctions and they were no help so I can't just go and ask them
Thank you in advance for any help,
Abbi
Program and version you use to access Google Calendar (e.g. Internet Explorer 7 or Outlook 2003): stock calender on galaxy s2. Have tried also jorte calender with the same problems.
Any Sync software you're using or have used (e.g. Google Calendar Sync): google calender sync, ical(but hadnt transfer it onto the phone)
If you're using the non-Apps version of Google Calendar (accessing from google.com/calendar/render) or you're on Google Apps: using the google online where all my diary dates have been stored.
If you have any Labs (and which ones) or Offline enabled: none
sorry for any bad grammer, spelling, written in an angry hurry!
Did you have any luck getting to the bottom of this?
My S2 has seemingly stopped syncing with Google calendar too. God knows why, I've installed various apps and updated the software via Kies recently....
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?
I purchased a "Sumvision Cyclone Astr+" (ICSv4.0.3) 7 inch Tablet the other week. I love it. I can sit on the couch and surf the web, play games and watch youtube to my hearts content.
However, a couple of little things are bugging me that I would like to fix.
GMail works perfectly, but Google Calendar simply doesn't work. I did some searching and replaced my GoogleCalendarSync.apk as initially I didn't even have the Sync Calendar option in the Accounts. Now I can see the sync option for Calendar, and it does sync (it shows a last sync time) BUT the Calendar simply refuses to find my Google Calendars (I have 3, my personal one, birthdays and UK Holidays)
I have downloaded Jorte and that also fails to find my Google Calendars.
I'm totally stuck, as all info I read said that replacing that apk fixed it for others. I'd like to fix it, just to add that extra little functionality. (Anyone know why the A10 Tablets suffer from this?)
Workaround
Hello,
I ran into the same problem with Google Calender not syncing (I also bought the same tablet from eBuyer), the workaround to getting your calenders to display on the tablet is listed here.
"Add gmail account in calendar as exchange account. Take note
domain\username: gmail\[email protected]
server: m.google.com
on next screen, check only 'sync calendar from this account'"
One other thing that you will also come across is you cannot move apps to the SD card as the tablet splits the internal memory and uses the SDcard mount for internal memory. This is a real pain but I am not sure if this is unique to our tablet or ICS related. Also, the tablet is supposed to come with 1GB of RAM, yet you can also only see 306MB when you go into the system settings.
Oh well. I hope the Calender fix works.
Hello everyone.
I use the sports calendar from Google Calendar, and while the schedules shows the right date and time on my PC, every event shows on my phone one day and 3 hours before the right time. I believe the 3 hours has something to do with my time zone (GMT -03:00). My other events, such as my personal and work calendars are correct both on my PC and phone.
Anyone else have this problem or knows how to fix this?
Thanks!
HI,
So I've got a brand spankin' new Nexus 5... along with the apprpriate glitches.
One problem I've seen is that when I get a calendar invitation, and ask to view it in the calendar, it shows me the invitation instead of the calendar. In Jelly Bean, that same button would show me the new meeting and all the other meetings to see if there were conflicts or something. I no longer see that view. I tried it with two calendar apps, Google's and a third-party, and both have the same behavior.
Anyone else see this?
Thanks,
L
