I can't work out why, but stuff added to my google Calendar on my phone, doesn't sync to my online google calendar.
Stuff added online, shows up on my phone's calendar with a red marker when you open the calendar. But stuff added on the phone, doesn't show up online! When you add something using the monthly widget, it shows up with a blue marker, and doesn't seem to upload to google. This is really annoying, and no amount of going in to Data sync settings and forcing synchronisaition seems to fix it. Somewhere, I must have set up something wrong, I assume, but can anyone tell me where..?
OK,
So I 've managed to figure out that there are multiple calendars on the Hero. One must be the google online one, and the other must be the phone one. Both are called "My calendar". I can't find a way of deleting the phone one, or changing its name, or just using the online one as default, but I have gone on to the website and changed the name of the online one to something different. This now means I can identify the differences between them, and put stuff on my online calendar easily from my phone.
But can anyone tell me how I can move appointments between calendars? Or delete the phone only calendar altogether? I have no need for it, if I have an online calendar!!
On mine one is called "my calendar" and the other is my google email login name. Seems like my calendar is local to the phone whereas the "other" is the online calendar which could be shared with others.
Don't know yet how to move between the two or how to delete the local one. Mine always defaults to the online one so I just never change it.

Hello everybody,
I am having the exact same issue on a non-rooted HTC Magic (32A). The problem must have occured because I did not directly sign on my gmail account during the setup wizard, but did that later on.
As a result, a "my calendar" cal was created and was made the phone's default one. Later on, I did sign to gmail and, as a result, obtained access to my google calendars. However, the "my calendar" account remains there and I have not been able to remove it from the list of calendar accounts. To make things worse, selecting to create a new calendar event preselects "my calendar" instead of my own gmail calendar.
Of course I can always return the phone to factory defaults, but that would mean that I'd have to reinstall my applications, do a zillion of tuneups etc etc. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the same thing? Or a workaround to preselect my own gmail calendar as the default one?
Thanks in advance for any info provided.

EDIT: I am not really sure whether signing directly at the first setup wizard execution avoid the creation of "my calendar" altogether, OR it just creates it but sets the gmail calendar as the default.... Can anyone who has directly provided his/her gmail account during the initial setup wizard, confirm whether:
(a) a local "my calendar" calendar exists (or not) and
(b) which calendar is the default one, when a new calendar event is created

Yes, the local "my calendar" still exists.
When I create a new event, it uses whichever calendar I selected the last time I created an event.
In my case, my google calendar is labelled with my full name, and the HTC one is "my calendar", so it's easy...

And you connected to google services right at the initial setup wizard, without skipping it? There goes the theory then...

I'm on a HTC Magic and no matter which calendar I select during event creation, the next event will again default to "my calendar". Are you on Hero? Other?

I can see the google calendar and I can create events there or view the synced ones. Everything works perfectly there. I just can't make my own Google calendar the default

Yes, connected to Google at initial setup.
Apols, didn't say: yes, I have a Hero.
On the Hero, it's remembered next time. at least it is for me.

Calendar still does not sync
In spite of using the option to enter my calendar dates with my google account my Hero still will not upload dates to my google calendar. Google calendar does sync down to my Hero however. Is this something I'm doing wrong or is this a known problem?
works fine for me; the only issue is to ensure you're adding the event to the correct calendar, i.e. the Google one, not an Outlook one, or the local Hero one, with the latter being the default.
after I realised that, it's always worked for me.
yeah still not working. Very odd indeed.
Is it still a problem after installing the new ROM?
For me at least.
HOORAY!
Can confirm the problem - at least for my phone and several other Orange users...
As explained before, for each event you create, the calendar must be set to your google calendar (which you set up on installing the phone for the 1st time, or via settings).
Also, you must ensure that Orange haven't (in their infinite wisdom) set up a under 18 child protection thing on your account, because for some reason this stops the calendar on your Hero uploading data to Google!
I've switched this off and can now add (and delete) data on my Hero which syncs to my Google calendar with ease.
Another solution I have come across.
If you are using HTC ONE-x or similar, this could also be with any phone - your HTC will have it's own calendar + Google has its own as well. I have always used the HTC one, but this time I thought I will give the Google calendar a go. This is when the problems started, as I didnt like the Google Calendar and went back to the HTC, and every event I added on it - even though syncs with the Google calendar on the phone, it does not sync with Gmail online calendar.
So, I then added an event on my phone into the Google Calendar app and it synced. Now I am just coping all the events one by one from HTC calendar to Google. A bit annoying, but at least everything syncs.
Can't even switch the Google Calendar app off, as it deleted all the calendars from both HTC and Google.

I got syncing working between Outlook and the Google Calendar site ... so I can see all my events and such on the Google Calendar website.
What isnt working is the sync with my Tab 10.1 ... I can see the calendar name on the Tab (and it changes on the Tab almost immediately when I change the calendar name on the website) but none of the events ever sync down to the device.
I've tried removing my google account and setting it back up, tried just turning sync on/off, tried powering off/on ... any one else having this issue and/or solved it? Thanks.
I am having the same exact issues you are. When I'm out and about I set all my calander events on my evo. Non of them however transfer over to my tab. I made sure auto sync is on and even tried manually hitting the sync button but no dice. Its easier to view mybdaynahead on my tab. Hopefully next update take all GT 10.1s from a beta feel to a solid feel. On my second GT10.1 already :-(
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "
So between this issue and a few others I factory reset my SGT last night and magically the Google Calendar is working perfectly now (so far). :-/
Not sure if my answer apply, but I sync with exchange and that work fine at least.
I think I'm having the same issue, or at least I'm sure that the calendar widgets don't show all the synched appointments in my calendars...

the calendar widget is garbage, because it only displays your events for the week. download WIZZ from the market, it has a much better agenda widget.
Hi all,
Am running 4.1.1 on a rooted I9300XXDLIH ROM.
I have removed and reinstalled the Google Calendar app as it wasn't working, and still doesn't.
The phone is associated with my Gmail account, but it won't show ANYthing on the calendar. I have checked 'which calendars are displayed' etc but there are no options. Clicking on 'new event', it just hangs on 'loading'...
Any ideas? The Gmail calendar is so useful and I'm missing it!
Is the sync option checked in your google account?

Seems to be an issue on some ROMs. I had same issue.
1. Disable your Google calendar first. Uncheck in sync options
2. Then in all applications cleat data and cache for splanner and splanner widget.
3. Re add Google calendar.
4. Try the calendar now and if it doesn't load events just click sync in calendar setting menu
These steps worked for me

Thanks for the reply.
There isn't a Google Calendar sync option in the list for some reason. There's contacts, Gmail, Reader, books, etc. but no calendar?
Also, there's a SPlanner widget, but no SPlanner? I froze it with RootUninstallerPro, have unfrozen it but it won't come back.
Not only that but Google contacts won't sync for some reason, Fasterfix (improves GPS fixing) won't load, etc. I think I might go back to an earlier version of Android, or perhaps an earlier version of 4.1.1.

Click on your username on the attached picture at the top and it will give you sync options for contacts and calendar.
Sounds like you may need to reinstall. Once you clear caches it works fine

Hi there
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've flashed it with Codenamedroid.
I decided I didn't like the 'stock' agenda app so I deleted it.
I have chosen another agenda app now but it seems it doesn't sync anymore.
When I go to agenda's>agenda's to show the list is empty.
At the bottom there is a button that says agendas to sync I am directed to the accounts I added.
When I click on an account I can sync the contacts, e-mails and stuff like that but the agenda isn't in it.
I've searched for the standard Samsung calendar app (and found it), but when I try to install it it says 'app wasn't installed'.
is there another solution to this problem then reflashing the rom again (because I've synced all of my accounts, put personal preferences to apps and stuff like that).
Thanks a lot!

Hi there!
I'm using Galaxy S3 I9300 with Revolutionary S5 ROM (it doesn't come with most Samsung apps and it didn't come with Samsung's calendar app with the green icon).
I've installed Google's calendar app (with the blue icon) but for some reason my calendars from Google won't sync with it. It's completely empty right now. When I go to phone settings > Accounts, "Calendar" won't appear under my Google accounts and when I go to the Calendar app > settings > my account, it sees my email, but there's no calendars inside it.
I've tried:
*Clearing data and cache
*Reinstalling the app
*Rebooting the phone
*Relogging into and resyncing my Google account when the application is installed
Does anyone know about this issue? Is there any solution?
Thanks!
