Hi
My calendar stopped to sync from about Thursday or Friday, after I read something on Gsmarena about n security hole that was fixed.
Here is the exact problem:
All my appointments are still there when I log in Google Calendar using my PC, but there is nothing on my phone. My phone is 'blank'. Also, the when I open my calendar, it goes to Jan 1970. WTF?
But, when I open an appointment (on the PC) and change, say the name of the appointment, and save it, that specific appointment will sync with my phone. Does this mean I have to open all ten thousand appointments, one by one, change them and save them to sync with my X10 again?
Is it only me?
Any help please.

I had the same problem of the calendar not showing my events anymore a few days ago. I fixed it by wiping the data for Calendar storage with Titanium backup and letting my data be resynced again. You could also try clearing the data through Settings>Applications if you don't have Titanium backup.
Thanks!! that solved the problem.
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.
Before I updated my tab with touchwiz my bookmarks were synced with chrome. I updated the tab last night but my bookmark folder is still empty. This feature seems to be broken. Any suggestions?
I have the same issue.
Bookmarks are all f'ed up with Touchwiz.
I had the same issues as you guys but a simple Clean Cache/Data and Force Close on the Browser application from Settings fixed it. Do that and reenter your sync settings.
However, you may notice, that even though it is syncing properly, you now have to Click on Bookmarks, then Google Chrome, then Bookmarks again to access the folder. It's redundant and quite annoying. That feature is one of the most important features to me and may lead me to taking out TW altogether. =/
have same problem here
syncing takes hours or days ! and they dont sync entirely
too bad we're not able to just import from HTML or JSON
ChromeMarks is useless
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am still having trouble. After clearing cache and data from browser and force closing. I reopen the browser and my Google sync info is still there and won't make me re-enter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Same here! WTF! Noone else experiencing this?!
I had the exact same issue. Only way I could fix it was to restore to default settings, and I did not sync with chrome. I just made all of my book marks manually. Really sucks. I was also having trouble with my Browser widget all book marks went away. The are all back now after manually creating my bookmarks.
bookmark Sync
Hi I am still having trouble importing Chrome's bookmarks to my touchwiz browser. My honeycomb stock browser (b4 the upgrade) had no problem importing Chrome's bookmarks. I tried clearing cashe, cookies, and form data but still not able to import Chrome's bookmarks. Help!
+ 1 same for me.
I've been messing around with trying to get my bookmarks to sync and I finally got EVERYTHING! It took some time and I can't guarantee this will work for others.
I went through clear out the cache in browser and Google Bookmark syncs under settings>applications. I set up the sync again and after giving it some time (about an hour) bookmarks started showing up. I noticed half my folders missing so I created couple of the ones I knew and forced a sync in settings>account and sync . After a few minutes I noticed that my desktop browser had the new folders and they were empty, so I went into the bookmark manager on the desktop and start moving the bookmarks from folder A (desktop browser folder) to folder b (what I created on the tablet). After hitting sync a few times on the tablet everything was there.
I tried this twice just to see if I can get everything and it worked both times.
Hopefully this could help out others, just have some patience, took me couple hours to get everything (hundreds of bookmarks).

Hi nakedninja42, a question for you. Did your Chrome bookmark folders show up in your Tab's browser too? or just standalone bookmarks?

All my folders showed up. Something I noticed is that my Bookmark Bar folders ALWAYS transferred but not all the links inside. The ones that would not transfer were the ones I had recently modified.
The folders found in "Other Bookmarks" only half would appear, so in my frustration, I added a couple of missing folders on the tablet and dropped a link in one just to see what happens, hit sync and look at my desktop browser and noticed they were there. I had two folders on my Desktop browser (one original and one new), so I moved the links from the old folder to the new one. After that, things just started syncing.
I feel like it doesn't like to sync new links, but after dealing with all that hassle, I finally have them all.
I recommend to do an export of your browser links just to back it up. That saved my butt first time going through this cause I messed up all my links.
Bookmarks are also not syncing for me. The folders show on the tab but they are empty. The sync icon under accounts and sync, google acct, browser appears "stuck." Iv'e cleared browser data, uncheck then check sync and nothing is working. Im just going to let it be for a few days and see what happens i guess.
This worked for me...YMMV
After having no luck clearing data from both the browser and bookmark sync apps I decided to stop linking from my desktop version of Chrome. Then went into the Google dashboard and clicked on "stop sync and delete data from google" under the Chrome Sync section. Then re-established sync from the desktop browser. Finally, enabled in the 10.1 browser and bookmarks showed up. Sounds complicated but only took about 5 minutes.

Hmmm, I've been wondering what the connection between the browser and the tablet. Sounds like the dashboard is what I've been looking for. I felt that so thing between the two devices syncing was something hold back because it needs purge. Thanks for the post, might be the easiest solution, mine takes hours!

Sounded good in theory but unfortunately did not work for me. Same issue where the sync icon gets stuck and the folders sync but they are empty with no bookmarks. Thanks for the suggestion though.
No go for me as well. Hopefully there will be a patch to fix this.
Home button?
I had the same issue with bookmarks syncing but performed the same cache clear as nakedninja42 and the bookmarks are currently syncing. I first cleared everything in the browser setting options, forced closed, then went to the system settings and cleared all browser application contents from there as well.
Another issue...where the heck is the "Home" button for the browser? It's nice to hit that just to go back to my iGoogle page but it's either been removed or I'm blind.
Thanks!
I still have zero bookmark as well. This problem began after the 180MB firmware update. The I don't think I've received the 3MB (the latest?), but I'm running kernel 2.6.36.3, stock rom FWIW. Have deleted cache, unsynced, resynced to no avail.
OK, now that I have ICS running on both my T-Mobile G2 and my Acer Iconia tablet, I've notice two common problems and was wondering what, if any, solution exists...
1) Even though I have Photos not selected to be synced with my Google Accounts, when I go into Gallery, it still shows Picasa albums. Is this because I have Google+ syncing, and therefore have no control on those syncing?
2) Browser Sync has not worked since going to ICS. On Honeycomb, I always noticed my bookmarks were there from ROM to ROM, even after wiping. I am not sure if this is because it synced with online data, or if it was because Android was doing the auto-restore of stuff. But now with both devices running ICS, Browser is selected to sync on my Google Account, but it always fails. Chrome syncs fine between my two PCs (bookmarks at least anyways). Is there a solution for this?
Resolved following this: http://blog.abrah.am/2011/12/sync-is-currently-experiencing-problems.html
Long story short, it has to do with the encryption in Chrome. The guide above will first stop syncing with Google, delete synced data (from the cloud only), and then re-setting up syncing.
In the last couple of weeks I noticed that gmail is not always up to date. Started looking into it and found that auto sync for google account is not working right. It always syncs manually. If I don't touch it - it syncs randomly. Sometimes emails arrive 3-4 hours after they get to gmail. Other times they get to the phone in time. If I open google account from settings - accounts, I can see the times it synced all the elements and sometimes they're way behind.
All the auto-sync is enabled on the phone. I tried clearing data and cache, removed and readded google account, finally did a full reset last night. This morning it didn't show emails that arrived in the middle of the night. I went into the account and forced it to sync. It worked and 2 hours later still working but I'm sure it'll stop at some point. Are there any logs I can look at? any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
you didnt say what ROM & version this is
