If you have the Chinese variant of the HAM2 the MT2L05, you'll need to download and install.
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
If not, then maybe remove the account and go back to settings and readd it. Then try syncing again.

It's the MT2-L03. I'll redo the account later and report back. Thanks

Same problem after remove/add.

---

Error message?

---

Nope. According to the sync status in settings everything is working.

---

Go to settings manage applications then tap all
Then scroll down and look for Contacts Storage
Then clear data on that, sign out of the account and then sign back in and try manually syncing again.

It will sync from google but not to google from my phone.

For some reason I was thinking contacts were not synching. I see you put calendar isn't syncing. Try going into calendar and tap the 3dots menu, then calendars to display, then tap the 3 dots on the top of the screen and choose calendars to sync then choose the correct google account and which calendars you want to sync and hit ok.
Then when creating a new event check to ensure it is set to a google calendar and not 'Phone' by default (Phone doesn't sync). You might have to go back and change events created on your phone to be a specific calendar.

Yup. They were defaulted to phone. Now I have to re-enter the events because you can't edit them to google. How dumb to have it default to phone.

---

Should be able to change them in the drop down. Click phone and then select the google calendar. Like in the picture I posted but you would see phone where it says Google.
The good thing is that the calendar app does remember the last calendar selected so it should remember the google calendar after you select it for new events.

Already looked in to that. It's not editable.

You're right that sucks
If you typed a good bit you can save some typing by clicking on the phone only event, clicking the 3 dots, clicking send event, send it to gmail or your email.
Then on your email client download it, and you can go to the browser and the desktop version of calendar and go to settings, calendars, then import calendars and import the .vcs file that was sent to email. You can choose which calendar to add the event too. It seems it can only be done one event at a time and I don't see a way to automate it.

Think u need the calendersyncadapter, not the contactsync. Another way u can try downloading the stock google calender app from playstore and try. It will install the adapter by default. But remember that if u choose to uninstall the Google one, the sync adapter will be uninstall also.

Problem was calendar defaulting to 'phone only' and not synching. When new events are created it can be changed to your Google calendar and sync happens properly then. It just defaulted to phone for some reason and wouldn't synch which is a big problem if you created a ton of events in phone only mode. I checked and it won't let you change it to a google calendar if it is already saved as a phone only calendar event. Fix is sending your event to email and importing the .vcs in the desktop version of google calendar for each event, or recreating each event on the desired google calendar which will sync.

Huawei must have done something with the calendar app besides just skinning it. The google calendar app is in the play store and doesn't show as an update.

---

Every manufacturer's calender are different. It's not just a skin over the stock Google calender. It's a whole different app altogether.

I'm so use to installing CM on my phones as soon as I get them I didn't realize that. I disabled (by renaming) the stock calendar and am using the google version.
