has any one else noticed that since you installed the new stand along google calendar app from the Play store that your "birthdays" calendar no longer shows properly on your phone?
I have a few calendars installed to show in my calendar (holidays, birthdays) and they still show properly on the web version on my computer, however, for some reason, it is just the birthday calendar that no longer is visible on my phone in the google calendar app. My Canadian holidays still show though.
I already tried to unsubscribe and re subscribe but no luck.
Any suggestions

I have a strange problem where the events in my Google Calendar are not syncing with the stock calendar application.
There are one or two of the latest events that I have added, and these show up in both locations, but all previous events are nowhere to be seen.
When I click on a day in the calendar app I get two messages:
Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies - irrelevant, I do not use Kies.
Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account - at which I go to the account and sync it. Nothing happens.
I can create an event in my Google calendar and it pops straight through as it should do, but none of the previous events and I keep getting these sync errors.
Please help, as it's giving me a headache.
Thanks.

Hmm ... that is not easy to solve.
I also had a similar issue with my Google calendar synch.
After installing a leaked version of Google Talk with Video chat (I think it was the one from paulobrien => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075494&highlight=modaco+talk), my Google account was deleted and I had to create it again.
Since then, I have no problem to synch my Google calendar entries.
Everything is fine now.
So, you may try to delete your Google account on your phone and re-install it again afterwards.
Good luck !
Just setup ICS on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've downloaded the Facebook app from the Play store. However, once installed, it never asked me as to which contacts I wanted to Sync. Within the app, I can't find the option anywhere either.
I un-installed the app and re-installed it and still no sign of any prompting to sync all contacts.
So as it stands, I've got all contacts sync'd from MS Exchange, Gmail, LinkedIn but no way will the Facebook contacts sync. It all worked perfectly on Gingerbread.

I believe it's broken on the FB side of things - I'm using a custom rom and up until the second last version, it used a 'hack' to sync up FB contacts but it's since removed that and putting it in FB's hands.
You could try using FriendCaster instead, it's an FB replacement app that seems to have working contacts sync.
Im trying to sync my contacts and calendar from the phone to gmail so its available out there in case I need to pull it down to reset/new phone etc. I finally figured out how to get my freaking contacts out there. But the calendar is still not showing up on my gmail account calendar online. I only have the one calendar on the phone, everything is checked and it acts like it syncs, no errors, but calendar is blank online gmail. What could be the issue?
I just read that one person stated you can NOT sync from the phone calendar to gmail, only the other way around...this cant be true.

Its not true. You can sync between your gmail calendars fine between phone and gmail. But the samsung also adds a new calendar in the Calendars app called "Samsung Calendar" and this does not show up in gmail. At least from my experience.
Same issue here. Except I think I'm trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to get what's in my gmail calendar to show up on the phone's calendar and I can't figure out how. When I open up the calendar app, I have "My Calendar" and below that I have my gmail calendar. If I put a checkmark on the gmail calendar, all my events show up, but if I remove the checkmark and only show "My Calendar", obviously none of my events show up.
Is there any way I can move the events in the gmail calendar into "My Calendar"?
Actually you just said the same thing, so it does appear you cant sync the phone default calendar with gmail, at least not sync from phone to online, only the other way. Why the hell would there be more than one on there? Sorry coming from an iphone pretty much you had the calendar app right there on the home screen and the S3 is the same, but sorry this one doesnt play well with google?? Ok so is there an easy way to sync the phone calendar with the phone gmail calendar, then sync it online?
Dont get me wrong, I will not miss the iphone at all, just seems some simple tasks should well, be simple. Thanks guys
Hi everyone,
My phone Andorid version is: Gingerbread - 2.3.5
Until few days ago calendar sync was working without problem. But now stopped sync to google servers.
For example:
If I add appointment to my Google calendar online (browser on PC), it shows up on my android calendar - no problem. But when I add appointment on the android calendar (using the factory calendar as well as "Bussines Calendar") the appointments don't show up on my Google calendar online, but instead it's get deleted in my android calendar.
I've tried:
Restart the phone.
Syncing several times, turn sync on and off many times.
Clearing the data of Calendar store and Calendar applications.
This also happens on device Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (gingerbread)
Checked that I adding appointments to gmail calendar and not on local calendar
Can anybody with OS Gingerbread try this?
I've have the feeling that Google changed something on their Calendar services online....
Thanks.
Hello I came to this forum to search for the answer to the same question.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with android 2.3.3 and I cannot add any new event to the google calendar. The event simply gets deleted after 1-2 minutes after I input it into the phone.
I have tried searching for answers on google, but the proposed solutions did not work. I tried: clearing Calendar app cached data; also tried creating a new calendar - the new calendar is there, but new events disappear from it 1-2 minutes after being created.
I am worried that google messed up something on their side - but I have no idea where to even report it.
Yes, I saw that Google updated their Google Calendar after I visited Google Calendar page (few days ago): https://www.google.com/calendar
So there must be some bug, becuase I also check their troubleshooter and still no solution to my problem:
https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/168512?hl=en
Also found this:

Now it's working!! Seems that Google hear our voice
I just noticed that calendar sync does not exist with my google account, even thou in the calendar app I have my google account listed.
If I install google calendar then the sync option shows up but I dont want two calendar apps taking ressources and eating away battery.
I dont have root and have no plans to root the phone anytime soon.
Has anyone found this problem and found a solution?
