Google Calendar app doesn't sync - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I'm using Galaxy S3 I9300 with Revolutionary S5 ROM (it doesn't come with most Samsung apps and it didn't come with Samsung's calendar app with the green icon).
I've installed Google's calendar app (with the blue icon) but for some reason my calendars from Google won't sync with it. It's completely empty right now. When I go to phone settings > Accounts, "Calendar" won't appear under my Google accounts and when I go to the Calendar app > settings > my account, it sees my email, but there's no calendars inside it.
I've tried:
*Clearing data and cache
*Reinstalling the app
*Rebooting the phone
*Relogging into and resyncing my Google account when the application is installed
Does anyone know about this issue? Is there any solution?
Thanks!

Calendar crashes after update

I updated to build 435 yesterday. Since then, the default calendar app crashes. Have tried rebooting.
I sync my calendar with outlook through google. There are some semi-advanced entries there, ie meetings with replies. However, problem persists when I disable that calendar from my outlook.
Calendar data is accessible for my agenda widget. Data shown on the widget is even updated when I add data to my google calendar.
Any clues on how to solve this?
Reinstall everything what is named Calendar
Cheers
I reinstalled CalendarProvider.apk and SemcCalendarLargeui.apk. Still doesn't work.
Immediately after installing SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, I clicked "open". This caused the same error.
Any further suggestions? Please?
Go to Applications, Manage applications. Select calendar, and clear cache. Worked for me.
Thanks!
I had to uninstall the apps proposed from the previous poster, then opening the applications menu to allow for display of all apps (not only 3rd party). Then I was able to clear the cache.

I am also facing the same problem, however I do not see the calendar application under Applications>Manage Applications !
Could you please elaborate further how you fixed your problem...for me the phone is pretty useless without a calendar !
You have to filter shown applications

Thank you ! Worked like a charm.
However I noticed one problem .. I use three seperate calendars in google calendars color coded red, blue & yellow. After the update to the calendar application all three show as red . Previously all 3 calendars showed up with their respective separate colors
Did any one else notice or face this ?

Calendar Syncing

Is there anyway to use any calendar related features on the Atrix without it syncing to Google? I've searched the internet for answers, searched the device for settings...and I always get the same result. Under Settings > Accounts > Other Accounts heading > "My Google Gmail account" the tick box next to Sync Calendar is UN-ticked. Yet, no matter what calendar app I use, eventually everything shows up online in Google calendars. So I go back and check the tick box and its still cleared. I put a test event online in Google calendars, and in less than a minute it's on my phone. Is there a setting I'm overlooking here?
thanks
Have you tried Calendar(app)>menu>more>calendars ?

Yes, but If I 'un-sync' it there, the whole calendar disappears from phone. I want to use the calendar on my phone, but not have it sync to Google. There's only 3 options there, but not a 'Visible, not synced' option. Only 'not synced, not visible'. The only way i can stop it from going to Google is turn on Airplane mode, but that's pretty pointless, and it just syncs as soon as I turn it off. It doesn't appear that sync settings under accounts do anything on my phone. This is my first Android device, so maybe that's just how it is?

[Q] Google Calendar not showing events?

Hi all,
Am running 4.1.1 on a rooted I9300XXDLIH ROM.
I have removed and reinstalled the Google Calendar app as it wasn't working, and still doesn't.
The phone is associated with my Gmail account, but it won't show ANYthing on the calendar. I have checked 'which calendars are displayed' etc but there are no options. Clicking on 'new event', it just hangs on 'loading'...
Any ideas? The Gmail calendar is so useful and I'm missing it!
Is the sync option checked in your google account?

Seems to be an issue on some ROMs. I had same issue.
1. Disable your Google calendar first. Uncheck in sync options
2. Then in all applications cleat data and cache for splanner and splanner widget.
3. Re add Google calendar.
4. Try the calendar now and if it doesn't load events just click sync in calendar setting menu
These steps worked for me

Thanks for the reply.
There isn't a Google Calendar sync option in the list for some reason. There's contacts, Gmail, Reader, books, etc. but no calendar?
Also, there's a SPlanner widget, but no SPlanner? I froze it with RootUninstallerPro, have unfrozen it but it won't come back.
Not only that but Google contacts won't sync for some reason, Fasterfix (improves GPS fixing) won't load, etc. I think I might go back to an earlier version of Android, or perhaps an earlier version of 4.1.1.

Click on your username on the attached picture at the top and it will give you sync options for contacts and calendar.
Sounds like you may need to reinstall. Once you clear caches it works fine

[Q] Sync agenda

Hi there
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 and I've flashed it with Codenamedroid.
I decided I didn't like the 'stock' agenda app so I deleted it.
I have chosen another agenda app now but it seems it doesn't sync anymore.
When I go to agenda's>agenda's to show the list is empty.
At the bottom there is a button that says agendas to sync I am directed to the accounts I added.
When I click on an account I can sync the contacts, e-mails and stuff like that but the agenda isn't in it.
I've searched for the standard Samsung calendar app (and found it), but when I try to install it it says 'app wasn't installed'.
is there another solution to this problem then reflashing the rom again (because I've synced all of my accounts, put personal preferences to apps and stuff like that).
Thanks a lot!

Removing Google Calendar app hides all google calendars

I have encountered a problem on several different android phones. calendars are disappearing if I install+uninstall the Google Calendar App (the official one)
Steps to reproduce:
install some calendar app (i.e. Business calendar)
install Google Calendar
make sure that your google calendars are shown correctly in both apps.
uninstall google calendar
Now the calendars have disappeared from the other calendar app and there is no way to add them again (they are not showing up in the list).
I have seen the problem on Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note3, Nexus4+5, HTC One
Installing the Google calendar app again makes it possible to first re-enable the calendars in Google Calendar app and then they are again possible to add in the other calendar apps.
Is there a way to fix this without having to have the google calendar app installed (dont want it installed as it is a huge BatteryHog using 30-40% of my battery for "StartingAlarmService").

And finally I found a working solution myself (of cause only after posting my question here after a lot of testing).
The simple fix (for others with the problem) is:
- go into setting-> applications manager -> all
- Find Calendar Storage
- clear cache+data and force stop
- wait a few minutes as the service will resync calendar data.
Now the calendars are available again
Thanks so much
Thanks man it helped me after some searching
