I really can't figure this one out. My calendar widget stopped working and for some reason, I don't even have the option of selecting "Sync Calendar" under any of my Google accounts. I have tried deleting and re-adding each individual account, but to no avail. Settings say "Sync is experiencing problems. It will be back momentarily." But I cannot find the source of the problem.

Make sure you have the Google Calendar app installed.
I do. I've tried using both the Google Calendar app as well as Samsung's stock app... Still the same problem.

I finally found the Google Calendar Sync Troubleshooter.
Here's the step that fixed it for me. Several layers deep in the Troubleshooter, but finally resolved the issue!
We recommend proceeding with these steps only if the above steps don't resolve the issue.
Open your device’s Settings.
Select Applications, then All.
Select Calendar Storage.
Select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Turn Calendar sync off and on in Settings > Accounts > Google > [your affected account], or from within the app using Menu > Refresh on newer devices. If you receive an error message upon opening the Calendar app, close and re-open it to re-activate sync.

Do you have more than one Google calendar that you used to sync with HTC calendar? I had 5 different Google calendars visible on my evo 4g. The new HTC calendar on the evo 3d does not give me the option to add more than one Google calendar (or if it does, then for the life of me I can't find it).
Previously it would initially just show the primary Google calendar, and you would go menu > calendars > menu > + , and you would then be able to check boxes to add all the rest of your Google calendars. I can't find this option in the e3d at all; you can click on "multiple calendars " at the top, but there is no option to add you other calendars.
Anyone figure this out?
deleted data from Calendar Storage (menu > settings > applications > manage applications > ), rebooted, and they all showed up finally. thanks for all the help.
Menu - settings -Accounts and sync. Select the account you want and then check calendar. Do that for each Google account. I am currently syncing three accounts and the all display properly in the HTC calendar widget.

what about some of the sports calendars you can add to your calendar through the desktop page? I have a couple football teams added and they show up on the desktop page but not in my HTC calendar. When I go to a list of all the calendars on the phone they are not listed.

Yes. From the pc. When u are in Gmail calendar it gives us an option to add sports teams calendars. None of those show up on the phone. They do show on the pc though.

Google only allows access to the calendar API from the web interface for third party calendars, that is why it works on your browser on your PC. This has been an issue for some time.
There is a work around that involves using yahoo sports calendars and importing them into your Google calendar.

I am not referring to separate accounts - it does separate accounts fine.
I am not referring to third party calendars either.
What I am referring to is one Google account that has multiple calendars that you have created for it. In sense 1.0, 2.0,, and 2.1 it was able to add the secondary calendars from the same Google account just fine. Not with this version of sense 3.0 HTC calendar. In prior versions it was a simple matter of adding the calendars from within the HTC calendar app. I can see that Google sync is working just fine as Smooth Callender widget can see that all the calendars from the one Google calendar exist ; however no data are being pulled from them because HTC calendar is not allowing me to add and sync them.
Once again this worked fine in all prior versions of sense calendars.
bump...
anyone know how to do this? please see post #1 and post #8. this is really killing me, I use multiple google calendars and need them. missing my OG EVO right about now... root couldn't come soon enough, get me some 2.1 calendar back on board.
Does hitting the bar at the top (beside the search button) not let you choose which calendars for the app to search? I have 4 calendars showing from my main gmail address as well as one more from my work gmail address.

I only get one google calendar showing up, and my exchange and facebook and PC sync. my other 3 google calendars don't show when I hit that bar.
are you saying that you have multiple calendars from one google account showing when you hit the top bar? anything you did to get them to show there, or were they all there from the start?
If you are seeing more than one calendar from one gmail account, maybe I need to do a factory reset.
EDIT: solved! deleted data from Calendar Storage (menu > settings > applications > manage applications > ), rebooted, and they all showed up finally. thanks for all the help.

When I'm trying to create an even I get a message "Local calendar cannot sync with google calendar. you need a google account"

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?
Hello crew,
So I have my HTC One working fine, but today I noticed something that sporadically I've been noticing very much: every time I enter the Account Settings, I notice that there is always a Sync Error on my Google account. I only have one Gmail account added on my phone and everything else (twitter, tango, WhatsApp...) seam to all sync just fine.
I've tried troubleshooting this in the past but no luck. Here's what I have enabled on my Gmail account Sync:
App Data, Calendar, Chrome, Contacts, Drive, Gmail, Google Currents, Google+, Google+ Auto Backup, People Details, Sound Search for Google Play and Tasks. All seam to be working just fine.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to clear this error?
Note: I have a virgin phone: no unlocks, no root, no 3rd party customization.

Did you ever get this fixed? I am having the same issue with Google Account showing a sync error all the time.

I have seen this on my HTC one after flashing a nandroid more that a few hours old.
Deleting the gmail account and re-adding it fixes it for me.
try removing your Google account and then reboot and readd it again.
Im having the same issue as of yesterday
Edit: Found how to resolve this.........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42257807&postcount=7
On you PC go to: https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard
Under Account -> Connected applications and sites
Delete all HTC ones by clicking the revoke button on the right side.
Remove your account under sync under your phones settings.
REBOOT
Re add your google account
DONE
I've noticed random calendar entries missing from my google calendar from the last 3 weeks, and many entries missing from future weeks, but they're all still on my phone. I've just created some test calendar entries on the phone to see if they would update online, yet they're not appearing on google calendar. But my google account on the phone confirms it's syncing, with 'last synced 5/12/2013 at XX.XX am/pm time'
Is this anything to do with my samsung account?
Samsung account said session expired. I forgot my old password so created a new one on the samsung site.
A popup message saying 'Update Samsung Account?' has been continually appearing, even though I've downloaded the update several times. If I remove the samsung account, does it affect my google calendar or will I lose anything else important?
My phone contacts seems to update ok though.
So, how do I get google calendar to see my phone calendar events?
Looks like everything is a mess, i would do a full wipe if i were you, but im not so here we go. Are u using the samsung calendar or google calendar to look at your google calendar events? If you are using samsung calendar, did you choose to sync your gmail within the calendar app settings?

Hi. I'm using my google calendar to look at my calendar events. I don't recall choosing to sync gmail with the samsung calendar.
In system settings on the phone, the google account tells me it just synced a few minutes ago, with the green sync icon next to it, even though it hasn't actually updated any new calendar entries on google calendar online. In system settings/Samsung account, it just occurred to me that my Samsung account is a different email address, an ntlworld.com address, not the gmail address I use to log in for google calendar. But it's always been that way, so I'm not sure if or how my samsung account would affect what's happening with my google calendar? Currently I've disabled sync on the samsung account because the pop up message kept appearing, and the sync icon was red saying sync error. Added a test calendar event to my phone but not showing up online. The settings in my phones default calendar are ticked for my gmail account/email address, ie, 'My Calendar', 'Contacts Birthdays', 'UK Holidays', there's nothing showing my samsung account email address. I'm rather confused!
When I type my new password into the Samsung account on my phone then click 'Done', it says 'In Progress'.. 'Signing In..' then always says 'Unfortunately, Samsung account has stopped' and Processing failed. So I can't even log in! Do I need to remove the samsung account and reinstall it? And should I do a backup first with 'My Backup' which I have installed?
Hmm. Go to settings, accounts, and click on your google account, in there you should find tick boxes like "app data" "browser" "calendar" etc., make sure calendar is ticked. If it is ticked, un-tick it, clear data of calendars, reboot, and tick it again. As for your samsung account, you should probably make a new account or fiddle with its settings from your web browser maybe. Could be samsung apps fault too, you need to re-install the stock rom to overcome that. ( Or maybe finding its app and clearing its data)

Yeah there's 13 sync boxes, including app data, sync calendar, sync gmail, all ticked and synced within the last 2 hours. Sync google play news wasn't ticked but I've now ticked it.
'Clear data of calendars'. You mean in Application Manager/Calendar Storage? TIn there it says 0.99mb total calendar storage and there's the 'clear data' box. I'm a bit worried, won't that delete all my calendar events? In which case, shouldn't I back up first?
Yes it will clear your calendar data, but they should be backed up on google servers, did you put new entries after this problem occured? Check your google calendar from a PC, everything there should be safe.

That's my whole point though, when I go to 'Calendar' from google chrome, my calendar appears but random older entries are not there starting from about 3 weeks ago, yet some are there. Many entries are also not there for future calendar events I've entered in my phone. And any new entries I made today are not showing up either. So the google servers are not automatically backing up what I'm putting on my phone's calendar. Which is why it's a risk to clear phone data, because its only my phone that is actually showing all my entries, but the server isn't.
Then try just clearing the cache of calendar storage and google calendar. Also make sure your gmail is ticked on google calendar' settings too. You can backup with titanium backup (tho i don't know if it will work %100, calendar backups are always messy). Lets try not deleting your data for now. Does deleting google account and re-creating delete your entries? If not, you can try that as well. You can also try re-installing google calendar app via an apk without deleting it.

The cache is greyed out, there's nothing to clear.
I'm not rooted so can't use titanium backup, I'm currently backing the whole phone up fwith My Backup Pro. Then I'll delete the samsung account and see if that makes any difference. If not, I'll delete the google account and reinstall it.
"Also make sure your gmail is ticked on google calendar' settings too." Yeah, in calendar settings on the phone, everything is ticked. 'Calendars', I click on that and there's a bunch of things that can only be ticked or unticked. 'My Calendar' is ticked, 'My Task' is ticked, then under that it shows my google gmail address ticked, uk holidays, contacts birthdays also ticked. That's all there is.
There aren't a problem with settings then, as you also thought, you should try backing up and deleting and re-creating accounts.
I installed google calendar thinking that it will update the existing calendar. But it crated another instance of calendar. So I uninstalled it. Now the native calendar app does not sync to google calendars.
When I go in calendar app Settings->Calendars->"Calendars to Sync". I do not see google calendars (only device and my exchange cal). Then I hit ok. I hit Calendars to Sync again, This time I see google calendars but un selected. I select those and hit ok. I still do not see the google calendar events.
When I to calendar app Settings->Calendars->"Calendars to Sync". Again the google calendars are missing. Then I hit ok. I hit Calendars to Sync again, This time I see google calendars but un selected. I select those and hit ok and still no google calendar.
I have repeated above cyle many times no effect. I rebooted the phone, I went to settings, all apps, calendar, stop, delete data. Nothing seems to work. I checked in Settings ->Gooogle->Sync. "Sync Calendar" is selected.
Any body know any remedy ?
Thanks in advance.
Replying my own post. Got it working. I had to go to settings->Apps->All Aps. Now delete data and disable "Calendar" and "Calendar Storage" apps. Then enabled those again. Now google calendar was working, but exchange calendar stopped syncing. I deleted the exchange account and added it again. Now everything is working.
This worked great on an Xperia T3. Thank you.
Tx a lot
My problem was a bit different, I have 4 google calendars and one was missing in the app...
I tried your method and it worked perfectly
it was on a french XPeria Z3 compact
the name of the apps in french are "Agenda" and "Stockage de l'agenda"
Tx for this precious help,
