If there's a better board for this, let me know. It's not really a dev question, but I couldn't find a general 8.9 area.
I'm running stock ROM on an 8.9 I just bought this week. Rooted and installed a few apps. Out of the blue the agenda widget stopped displaying my agenda. Just shows per the attached screenshot. Tapping the widget opens the calendar app and starts editing a new event.
The widget was working perfectly for a while. Note that the calendar app still displays all my appointments just fine.
I tried clearing the cache in CWM, but it didn't help. Also tried wiping application data for the Calendar app.
Well I feel silly. Turns out that the widget displays what you see in the screenshot when you don't have anything on your calendar for the current day. Now that I have an event today, it's back to normal.
The wording on the widget makes it look like it's not working, even when it is.
Leaving this here in case anyone makes the same dumb mistake I did!

Hi all. Usually I post on pocketables Streak forum, but have read a lot on here as well.
I am on DJS 1.6 and have been bouncing back and forth between Stage UI and the Gingerbread Launchers. Gingerbread, simple but very responsive. Stage seems a little slower, but like the widgets.
For about a day my social widget on Stage UI was working as it should. I have a fb account. Somewhere last night between switching internet browswers and clearing caches in system properties, the social widget would only bring up my twitter account, even when I logged in to the facebook portion.
This morning, I went back to the stock internet browswer insted of Miren. I cleared the stage ui cach, I reflashed 1.6, cleared Dalvik, cache. I then delted the widget, went online to fb, and entered my username and password, thinking maybe it was a link issue. I brought the social widget up again, entered fb info, and now it brings up twitter again but from last night, its not updating it at least, but I cannot for the life of me get it to show the fb statuses of others that it was.
I know I did something, but is there someone that can point me in the right direction?
Thanks much!

Its a problem that many have with the Dell Stage launcher, to fix it go to:
settings
applications
manage applications
running
social
clear data
Then exit back to homescreen and input your information.
Enjoy!

Hi,
I have learnt that calendar crashes can be solved by clearing the calendar app's cache.
New problems:
I have loaded 5 different calendars from my Gmail. How come all of them are represented by pink colour? I'd like different colours for each calendar, as in Gmail and as the old calendar app allowed. Can't find any menu for this setting.
The phone no longer displays all entries from the Gmail calendars. All my calendar is there, as some upcoming entries are shown. I can't figure out why other upcoming entries are left out.
I hope someone can help.
I have the same issue. (About pink color)

I'm not entirely sure if it's the SE layer ontop of the stock apps, but obviously *searching* like everyone says isn't the case - I've tried and nothing has come up working.
I having the same problem also.
But it works when I clear data on calendar.
You may wanna try this, but I stop auto sync first in case anything happened.
Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Application>, press Menu button, select Filter, select All.
After all applications shown, select Calendar and clear data, then Calendar Storage and clear data.
After clearing both data, then launch Calendar. I done these and the calendar can be launched. Then I turn on auto snyc again.
Same calendar problem, unable to fix it until now
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to .435 firmware, all my calendars (5 of them) turn up pink.
I have a smooth calendar widget that shows the correct colors. But somehow the calendar app itself does not read those colors.
I've tried to erase the data from both calendar and calendar storage.
Doesn't work.
I use my phone for business. This app is a must have!
Anybody please?
I've tried the clear data procedure as well, and no luck.
(Turned off auto-sync, forced-closed both, cleared data, rebooted).
I've also tried to replace it with a stock version, I just googled Android 2.1 stock calendar.apk. I know I'm most definitely missing something here, so someone that knows what they're doing fix my mistake. (if its possible)
I tried replacing the CalendarProvider.apk and added Calendar.apk (I also tested renaming Calendar.apk to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk to replace default).
So still looking for a fix to this disaster of a calendar application.
Edit: @Jaydee-S - so if the widget shows the right color, maybe we can isolate the problem to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, which is just putting Pink for all the calendars and no options to change them. - Devs help us out please
I just downloaded Business Calendar Beta from the market.
Works perfectly and is a good alternative to the SE calendar.
But the questions remain: Why doesn't the SE calendar work and why doesn't everybody experience the same?
Actually that app you posted blows the stock one out of the water in my opinion. Good find.
Now i can delete SemcCalendarLargeui.apk no need to even see it.
omg, I deleted SemcCalendarLargeui.apk by mistake....can someone please upload the apk for me.
Has a solution been found to display the correct calendar colors in the stock calendar app, instead of the default pink that came with upgrading to .435?
Sorry dude, I have the same problem and have searched everywhere, without any luck.
My solution is business calendar app on the 435 rom.
Right now I'm using Trip's MIUI rom: try it out, it is blazing fast and works very well. Use it as my daily rom now. Last but not least: here the calendar works
Having a problem with my calendar. If I create an event, it will show up on my phone just fine but if I check my calendar on the computer the events aren't showing up. Now the calendar was working just fine while I was still stock rooted. The problem didn't start until I flashed a custom rom last week. Now it doesn't matter which rom I flash the problem is still there. I'm getting real pissed.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a solution?
The HTC calendar can sync with our computers? Damn, I'm finding more and more stuff to do with this phone.

Well, I used to. Somethings not right now though. me and my wife share a calendar so we both can see the schedule. Mine was working fine when I was stock & stock rooted but ever since I flashed the first custom rom last week it stopped working. None of the events I create will show up on my wife's phone or in google calendar on the computer. It's weird though because I can see the events she creates just fine. I've tried 3 different roms now and all the same results.
I know you have probably already tried this but make sure "calendar" is set up to sync in the respective google account. Do this from settings/accounts/then the account. If that is checked go to the calander app (htc sense one in the app drawer) then at the top you will see a little drop down carrot. tap the top bar and make sure your calander is listed there. if it isn't then you can try to clear data on "calendar" "calendar storage" and "google calendar sync" Hopefully one of the above works for you. I have had a similar problem when I used Titanium backup to restore system data. Good luck hope this helps.

I tried all of those and nothing. Also, I never use TB to restore system data just to avoid any issues. The weirdest thing is that I can see the events that my wife creates but my events won't write to the google account. I've never had this problem while I was stock or stock rooted or on my og evo. Now I've tried 3 different roms and all the same.
You've got to be kidding me, lol. I've never had this happen before. I figured out the calendar issue. I was messing around with it some more today and what happened was, it was stuck on pc sync. When you open up the calendar up it tells you at the top which calendar will be synced. I have never noticed that before. I've never had to change it. All I had to do was add the gmail account that I wanted to use and set it to sync just the calendar and I was good to go. I feel like an idiot, lmfao.
Anyone else have an issue with the HTC Calendar Widget since T-Mobile's latest update for the Amaze?
Previously it used to show me events for things like my friends birthdays using the information from Facebook. Noticed today that it wasn't showing my my friend's birthday. Seems like it just no longer displays that information. Just me or everyone have this issue now with HTC's Calendar Widget?
I've even removed it from the Home screen, and re-added it. During the re-add I confirmed that Facebook was checked/selected still as one of the sources it should get data from.

Mine is displaying just fine.
Are you talking about calendar 1, 2 or 3?
I am using 1.
HTC Calendar Widget version 3.0.2118282653.140764
HTC Calendar version 3.02120283257.184156
View Mode 3/3 (small bar).
Set on first Home screen under the Clock/Weather Widget.
I've force stopped both of the above apps and done a clear data with no luck.
If I go to 'Settings|Account and Sync|Facebook' and then click 'Sync Calendar' to try and force it to Sync it ends up with a Red Exclamation Mark and the text "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same appears for 'Live Feed'.
The dates for both the last Calendar Sync and Last Live Feed sync to Facebook show as Mon, Dec 12 2:07PM which is a bit before the phone got upgraded to 1.43.531.3 from T-Mobile over the air.
I've also tried rebooting the phone and have even pulled the battery.
EDIT: Solution Found.
Found this via some posts on the net related to syncing Facebook contacts but appears to have worked for calendar as well.
1). from a PC, Logon to Facebook, hit dropdown on right of screen and select 'Account Settings'
2). Click Apps, then remove permissions for HTC Sense
3). On the Phone, Go to 'Settings|Applications|Manage Applications|All'
4). Find "Facebook for HTC Sense" and click it.
5). Force Stop, then Clear Cache if available, then Clear Data
6). Hold Power on the phone and select "Restart"
7). When the phone boots back up you'll have to authorize Facebook for HTC Sense again and then it will work.
Everything is good now. Calendar, Live Feed, and Contacts are all syncing now (before only Contacts were syncing).
Coming from Runnymede AIO V6 on my Desire and really liked the stock HTC Weather Clock Widget in 4x1. Does anyone know how to port just that widget to say, NRG's 2.27.12 ROM? Attached are screenshots of the widget and the details for it if that helps.
Cheers.

Figured out it is a Sense 3.5 option. Switched ROM's to Xboarder's Sense 3.5 RC1.7 and it is in there.

Hello,
I have an unbranded German S II. Since updating to Android 4.0.3 (through Samsung Kies), the standard calendar widget doesn't work like it used to anymore.
I synchronize with my Google account where I have multiple different calendars for different purposes (work, freetime, projects, etc.). On my phone I can go into the calendar app's configuration and tick the boxes of those calendars I want to have synchronized and shown. It used to work like that and I could make it so that only my work appointments would be shown on the calendar widget on my homescreen.
Now, after updating to ICS, the calendar widget will show all calendars at all times, rendering it less useful. No amount of fiddling with the properties has corrected this. After asking in two other forums, this is my last hope.
I really hope somebody here knows the problem and might be able to help. Or is this really just me? Thanks in advance!
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but if the stock calendar widget isn't behaving how you'd like it to, there's a Play Store brimming with alternatives. I'm sure at least one will function in the way you're hoping.
Yeah, I know. I don't need any fancy, skinnable, customizable calendar apps that fill the android market. I'd rather have the stock widget that just does what I want it to. Seeing as this worked fine before the update, I hoped there was something I could do. Alas, seems as if that is not the case. Thanks though
Hello, i have exactly the same problem. Did you find any solution ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
It's good to hear someone finally acknowledging the problem. I was starting to question my sanity as it seems that out of millions of owners of the SII only I have the problem. Finally someone else speaks up, thank you for that
Sadly, I have not found a solution since. I completely changed the way I organize my events in google calendar. It's not as well organized as it was before but it gets the job done. Still, I would prefer if the calendar worked like it did before...
If you don't want to redo your whole google calendar organization, I guess you could indeed try a third party calendar. The play store is full of calendar apps; I was overwhelmed, because I just want a simple and clean calendar, like the stock one.

When you select the widget, you should be prompted to select which calaendar to display. If it doesn't, check out this alternative widget. You can still use your default calendar, but use this widget instead of the stock:
