HTC One, gCal synced to iCal (OSX Lion) with no issues. All dates show on either calendar.
However, neither gCal nor aCalendar on the HTC show dates before August when I bought the phone.
I removed my google acct completely.
Restarted the phone and re-entered the google acct.
No change.
It seems out of the 5 calendars I use, only one shows all older dates prior to Aug '13.
3 Other calendars show all older dates Oct '11 to present.
And the primary calendar doesn't show prior to Aug '13.
Ideas?
after doing some guggling I found this.

It is fairly accurate.
I would add that if you have sub-calendars, those should be added from the list after the 1st sync but prior to re-setting everything to auto sync and date/time.
IE:
15A. Add Calendars to Calendar app for additional sync.
15B. Go back to Accts & Sync/Google and Sync just the Calendar.

In the settings screen of google calendar, click export calendars, this will give you a zip file containing one .ics file for each of your calendars. Unzip this file, then use import calendars to import each .ics into its corresponding calendar. This does not duplicate events, but just refreshes the modified date, thus causing Android to resync the entries.

For some reason, my HTC Thunderbolt has stopped automatically syncing my google calendar. I can manually sync it by going to calender -> menu -> refresh and it will sync. I can also sync it manually from settings -> accounts and sync, but nothing I have tried restores the automatic syncing.
Gmail (both contacts and mail) is automatically syncing -- its only the calendar that isn't (and the calendar IS the same google account as gmail).
I have noticed that on the accounts and sync screen for my google account that it shows the current date for sync contacts and sync gmail, but July 10 for Sync Calendar (see attached image). I've tried unchecking and rechecking that and sync now. It will always sync (and it does pick up new appointments), but it never changes that last sync time and it never goes back to automatically syncing.
I searched google for this issue but nothing I found directly addresses it -- all seem to be difficulty syncing at all (even manually).
I am running stock rooted MR2. See attached image for exact versions.
I am using ADW desktop so I have disabled HTC Sense.
How can I get the automatic sync working again?
I've not used Google Calendar up until now, and have synced my HTC phone with Outlook directly via USB on both my PC and laptop. However, now I've got a Galaxy Tab too, it'll be a bit unwieldly to manually sync all these devices so I think I need to sync via the cloud with Google (much as I may dislike the concept).
I've set my HTC Desize-Z to sync with Google Calendar, and created a test entry on the phone and on the online calendar, and they have both synced with each other fine. Great so far.
However even though I'm using the exact same settings and account name on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (stock, rooted, wi-fi) it won't sync with the online calendar at all, and none of the test events that I created appear on the Tab.
Whenever I create a new event using Calendar on the Tab, I get a pop-up saying "Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account". There is an option inside the error popup to "Go to account and sync", which I select and it just takes me to my standard Accounts & Sync settings page, where my Google account is already listed correctly, with the little 'sync' icon shown in green. The details subpage has both "Sync Calendar" and "Sync Contacts" ticked, and they each show very recent sync times and will resync without errors when I click on the Refresh icon.
But still Calendar does not think I'm connected to a Google account (error popup appears as above when I add a new event) and nothing gets synced.
Anyone got any ideas? As I said, it all works fine on my phone, and Marketplace works fine on the Tab with the same account details so my Google account seems to be valid.

I've never tried to sync any kind of calendar so I can't be sure.
Some things to try are..
First of all, make sure you're connected to the internet on your tab...
Find any calendar app in the Settings>Applications>ManageApplications menu and clear Cache for them.
You could possibly try deleting your google account from the device (after stuff is backed up on it of course), then re-adding it to see if it syncs correctly.
When in doubt, reboot.
FWIW, I had a problem not seeing updates to my calendar till I realized that there were two calendars. A "local" and a "[email protected]".
In settings, you need to check off which calendar you want to see.
Thanks dannyboy, that was indeed my problem. I finally tracked it down over the weekend and was just about to post my wondrous discovery here, only to find you'd beaten me to it.
Same applies with Contacts by the way. My PC-synced ones had all gone into a section which does not sync with Google, so I exported them all to a file and then re-imported them into my google-synced contacts list and bingo, my phone and my tab synced themselves via the cloud. One word of caution though: to remove all the duplicates that I then had on my phone, I selected 'phone only' view and deleted just those entries visible in that mode - only to find that the phone deleted the Google ones too (which were not selected to be viewed) and immediately propagated the deletion of everything to my other devices!!! Thankfully I'd still got the export file, so I just imported them again and they all flowed back. I could always have grabbed a backup off the laptop, but even so it highlights the dangers of automatic cloud syncing!

Hello
I'm having trouble getting the Calendar on the SGS2 to sync with the Calendar on google?
Now I can create an appointment, and it appears on google and the phone, but if I create it on Google the phone won't update.
The sync checkbox is ticked, and every time I create a new event on the Calendar i'm greeted by
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My Calendar to sync with Kies"
followed by
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account"
So I have sync running, emails are pushing, and as I said items created on the Phone push to Google, but I can't get Google to push back to the phone, can anyone explain to me what i'm doing wrong
Many Thanks,
Luke.
I have the same problem. Have had the problem for a while on multiple roms and kernels
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
O great, so its F'd then
Maybe i'll be getting the Galaxy Nexus then.
The Calendar app can work with many calendar sources. I have it syncing it with gmail, yahoo and also the phone's internal calendar (which is also the one KIES deals with).
When you go into Calendar -> Menu -> Settings -> Calendars. You will see all the accounts that independently sync with the Calendar app. So you can have an appointment via a work's account and another appointment via your gmail account. The gmail appointment will only sync with the gmail account and the work's appointment will only sync with the work's account.
What it appears to be is that you create an appointment in gmail (on the web) and it will happily appear on the web and also on your phone soon after. Any modifications to that appointment on the phone will appear on the web.
A new appointment created on the phone is saved as a local calendar event. Go to Calendar -> Menu -> Create. You will see half-way down an option called 'Calendar' select your gmail account from this option. As long as you save the new appointment the Calendar app will use that as the default calendar.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have had the stock calendar working but I would highly recommend Business Calendar.
Way better in every way.
Even though I created my Google account from the phone, I only see the option to sync Books, Contact and Gmail from Accounts and Sync. Even if I go into the calendar's settings it throws me back to the same selections - with no way to sync the calendar. Sure enough, none of the items on the web version of the calendar show up on the phone.
You might want to recreating your Google account. I sync calendars just fine and all I did was add my account to the phone.
That worked, deleted my account and re-added it, now the calendar shows up as an option to sync. And everything shows up on the calendar.
Anyone finding inconsistencies in synch between Google Calendar on the phone, and on the WEB?
Scenario 1
I created an appointment, and by mistake put it on My Calendar instead of the Google Calendar. I edited it and changed it to my Google Calendar, but it would not synch. I deleted it, and re-created, and it then did synch.
Scenario 2
I created an appointment on my Google Calendar. It did synch to the phone. Then I deleted the appointment from Google. That deletion will not synch, and it remains on my phone.
Both above happens, no matter how many times I tell it to Synch from the menu.
