I finally went back to Overcome yesterday after a month of using ICS, both AOKP and recently the CM9 nightlies, because of 2 issues, both of which I've searched everywhere for but haven't found solutions to. One is that google calendar sync stops working for me after a day or two. I've been through every AOKP build since M4 and 2 CM nightlies, and it happened on all of them. Doesn't anyone else have the same problem?
The other is the crappiness of the GPS.
Are there solutions to these issues? Work-arounds? I don't care so much about the GPS, that's mostly for the coolth, but I need calendar to work.
Have you checked if your calender is synced under your settings?
Settings > Account & sync > click on the sync button for your email account > make sure Sync Calender is checked.
This is if you're on CM9 or AOKP. Hope that helped! Cuz I had the same problem, but for Gmail.
Yup, it's synced. What happens is the widget suddenly goes blank, and it tells me calendar storage has stopped. The only way for me to fix it is to clear data on the calendar app. I really like ICS, I hope there's a solution to this
Questions go in the Q&A section
Try flashing a newer version of the gapps. Make sure you delete the old data first though, (probably with Titanium Backup)

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.
Is anyone having calendar sync issues? I didn't have any issues with the stock rom but then i tried CM7 (10/28 nightly) and Serendipity and my calendar refuses to sync. I'm wondering if its a problem devs are getting from each other or if its just a flat out Google issues as of 10/29
Nope, zero issues for me on Serendipity. Have your tried clearing the data out of the calendar and starting over?

Yea I gave that a shot. It appears that there isn't a syncing issue per say. I can make new appointments on my phone and they sync without a problem. I can also make new appointments from the web browser on my computer and they sync fine. The issue is appointments that already in my calendar do not sync. It looks like i will have to clear it and rebuild it.
I thought I should post my findings, in case anyone has the same problems down the line.
I tried a new ROM for my SGS4G: T959V. Everything seemed to be working pretty well, there were a few things I didn't like about it.
Eventually I noticed that I couldn't add to the calendar. As soon as I clicked Save it would be gone and not save to my gmail account. This was even the case when I added to "My Calendar" instead of my gmail calendar.
Everything was checked as far as Settings/Accounts/Sync Calendar but I eventually noticed that even things that I added from a computer weren't properly updating.
Even after re-ROMing the problem wasn't fixed. I tried basically every ROM before I figured out the solution:
There are two apps in the Manage Applications section: Calendar and Calendar Storage. I cleared the data of both of them, waited a minute or two. Voila, the calendar app works perfectly.
I couldn't find anything regarding this problem, so hopefully someone might find this useful if they have my problem.
Be careful if you use the local calendar and not the gmail calendar. Also, why do you use the local calendar and not the gmail calendar?
Keep tinkering
Hello
Since so time ago I'm not being able to sync my contacts with my google account.
I'm using the CM9, allways last update.
It allways give me erro that sync is with problems, that it will be return another time.
is this CM9 problem or google problem? Any one know how to solve this?
all the other items sync without problems.
I do not know what it is.
I was never able to sync browser neither on GB nor on ICS.
I used many many firmwares based on stock on GB/ICS and AOSP and AOKP on ICS but it never synced the browser. Always said that I should try again later.
when i try to make my S2 sync contacts from my google account, it allways give me a erro.
sorry, but when you are in contact, you go to Menu> Contacts to display?
Im using ICS with Ice Cream Pureness rom, with the recomended kernel, but dont know if this problem is related to the rom.
I have a problem with syncs, my sync sems to randomly be im mood to sync.
First day i used the rom it synced everything perfectly, but some days after it started to not sync anymore =/
i have to ask to gmail to sync, then it gets my mails, also facebook syncs if i open the app the new messages are there, but they dont show as notifications anymore.
Is this something that im doing wrong? or some problem related with ics? its the first time i use it.
