Hey fellow XDA members!
I have the following problem. When using the S Planner app which comes with the 4.1.2. Samsung ROM, my phone won't sync the calendar with gmail (see the attached screenshot). Everytime I put an event in the S Planner app I make sure that the gmail calendar is checked, so that's not the problem. The contacts and gmail sync works without a problem, so there is no problem with the connectivity or something.
The strange thing is when I install the official Google Calendar app from the play store, the sync works. All the events I have made in the S Planner are synced to my gmail account. When I delete the Google Calendar app, the sync doesn't work anymore.
Can someone check if you have the same bug? I am on NeatROM v4.1 but on NeatROM v4.0 I had the same problem. I really want to find out if the problem is related to the ROM, the app itself, my phone or something else. I know I can use other calendar apps, but I like the S Planner app that comes with Samsung....
Thanks in advance peeps! Any solution will be appreciated...
Greetings,
Faraaz
You need to set your google account as the calender sync in S Planner. If not it will only sync with Samsung "My Calendar" account.
My google account is already set up in the S Planner app. Eveytime I put an event in the app I make sure that the google account is selected, so it must be something else...

When I'm trying to create an even I get a message "Local calendar cannot sync with google calendar. you need a google account"
Well.. I have a google account and I have the calender marked with sync active and in the calendar settings set my google calendar as the only calendar.
WTF?!

I get the same but if I go into Google Calendar and sync, I am able to save the event.
The same issue for me here..
I create an event in the phone calendar, then I go to web Google calendar to check the event, and it's not there.. Even if I try syncing manually multiple times..
It's strange behavior because sometimes events sync and shown in Google calendar immediately when created in the phone..
Is there a fix for this issue ?
I had a slightly different message and figured something out, mine was
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies"
AND
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account"
It then gives me the option to go to accounts and sync, when I do so the calendar gets stuck with the syncing.
But when I create an event it syncs to my google calendar. So I just set it to ignore and things seem to work fine.Anyone else?
Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).
So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!
I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).
I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.
I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...
Any clues???
Did you reinstall Facebook ?

Try to sync? In the settings in facebook.
its a common problem i think...
when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...
what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
Thanks for you replies. Here are my comments:

Actually, I did... I even wiped it all and re-installed everything. Did not work either... But please notice that the Facebook app itself is not the case here. Why? The Facebook app uses a non-integrated Facebook account and I'm using the integrated account.

Yes. I configured it to sync contacts and calendar... And I synced hundreds of times, just to make sure.

This is a workaround, indeed. But I don't want to to this way because it is not automatic: each way a new friend is added in Facebook, I'd have to re-export the FB calendar to Google.
Here is some additional info. I did some more peeking in the databases (the .db files) and found out that the birthdays are not being loaded in the "events" table from the "calendar.db" file (not sure about the exact names, I don't have the phone at hand now...). If I look at this database in my Galaxy S (where it works), I see all Facebook birthdays and events in this "events" table. In the Ace, only the Facebook events were there...
Now it looks like the problem might be in the syncing itself, not in the actual Calendar app (which only display what is in the database).
I had this weird idea: since everything works in my Galaxy S (I even did a real-case test: I wiped my Galaxy S, configured my wife's Gmail and Facebook accounts and it worked perfectly), would it make sense to copy the .apk's from my phone to the Ace? If true, which .apk's could it be?
It doesn't work for me too. Actually, facebook only has the option of syncing contacts. Do I have to have a google account tied to facebook for facebook events to be synced to calendar?
I would like to try Android without GAPPS, and now I am looking for a calendar app which does not rely on the Google Calendar.
This is not an issue of using the built-in calendar app without syncing to Google, but the use of Android without even using a Google account.
Can anyone recommend a suitable app, if it even exists?
i use biz calender that lets you sync with any account google,microsoft,yahoo ect
I like Pocket Informant.
I forgot to mention, I don't really want to sync the calendar at all, but just want to use it on the phone.
The calendar should be able to handle normal appointments, birthdays and anniversaries with reminders in advance, a nice desktop widget would be nice as well.
Any more ideas?
I don't recall this being a problem on my previous android devices.
Calendar entries made online in Google Calendar sync back fine to my phone. However, if I create an appointment in my GN2 calendar, it doesn't sync back to online google calendar. I thought maybe it was just the calendar app problem, but I installed Jorte calendar and it behaves the same way? Am I doing something wrong? I can't find any settings to speak of in the calendar app.
When you are creating your appointment, are you choosing your Google calendar at the top of the page?

Ouch, I didn't know that you had to do that when entering appoints directly into the phone calendar app. What a Gomer I am. Tried your fix and it works fine!
Thanks!
By "your Google calendar", do you mean any google acccount [email protected]? I am trying to work with the stock calendar, and DigiCal.
I am having similar issues, can't sync back to the PC with events entered on my Note 2.
I notice that the account I think I should be using has a long random (not mine) string of characters like [email protected] as the adddress. Is that normal or a sign that something is screwed up?
I just want to sync event to my PC calendar from my phone.
I recently upgraded my phone to ics and then rooted it. right now my calendar app is not working. not only the stock app none of the calendar apps are working
i have my google account signed in and the sync is on. but it does not show any of my events.
also when i go to calendars to sync the app closes. this problem occurs with the google calendars app also. i tried aCalendar it does not close but it does not do anything either. Also i may have deleted some components by mistake that these app may require
bump.
