[Q] Android 5.0: Don't have option to sync calendar - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
after upgrading my phone (THL T6S) to Android 5.0 with official wireless update, the option to sync calendar of Google account has disappeared. I enter configuration -> accounts -> google -> sync and see the options to sync Gmail, Disk, contacts, Google+ contacts, Google fit, application data... but NO calendar at all!
Obviously, the calendar app don't see my Google calendars.
How to fix this? I need my calendar badly!
Thanks!

[Q] Phone calendar won't sync with google cal.

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?

[Q] Add non-google calendar?

I promise I searched, all the threads I found were about adding a second Google calendar from a Google account (sub calendar).
On her Galaxy Tab there are 2 calendars, the Google account calendar and a "My Calendar". We use My Phone Explorer to sync the tablet with her Outlook on the PC without involving Google and it synchronizes to the My Calendar calendar. On her Moto XPRT there is only the Google account calendar. My Phone Explorer will sync to the XPRT using the Google account calendar. The downside is that any changes/creations she makes on the phone will not be visible on the tablet unless she shows both the Google and "My Calendar" calendars on the tablet. We would like to not involve Google. Adding a "My Calendar" calendar to the XPRT would allow us to do this. Unfortunately Calendar -> More -> Calendars -> Does not have the Menu -> Add Calendar that I've seen in other threads were they describe adding new calendars.
Is there another way or a different menu sequence to add new non-Google based calendars that are contained on the device?

[Q] Calendar Sync

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

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

I have had the stock calendar working but I would highly recommend Business Calendar.
Way better in every way.

[Q] Calendar sync to Google

Dears,
how is it possible to sync the calendar to Google?
When I created the 1st event, the phone asked me if to save to personal calendar or Google Calendar, so all my events are on personal calendar.
I enabled synchronization to my Google account, but it does nothing.
How can I sync all events to Google calendar?
Thanks and best regards

Go to settings > account & sync > Sync Gmail account. Your calendar should get synchronised.
Hope this helps!
Well, unfortunately this doesn't work, it starts syncing and finishes in just 5 seconds...
when the phone asks you to save the calender event to personal calendar or Google Calendar.... save it to google calender... it will be synced with your google calender account...
there is no easy way you can migrate the personal calender entries to google calender... so redo all those entries and save to google calender
Eheh... 5 years of events... amazing...
I think at this point I have to sync through Outlook...
I found this on a website:
1. Go to Applications under the Settings Menu
2. Select Manage Applications. Will take a few seconds to load.
3. Scroll down to Calendar Storage.
4. Midway down under Storage you will see "Clear Data" button. Press the button. This wipes out the data in the calendar on the PHONE ONLY. You now have a calendar with no data.
5. Go out to main screen and select the Menu button.
6. Select "Accounts & Sync.
7. Select the Google choice and the next screen should give you the choices of GMail, Contacts and calendar.
8. Select calendar and let it sync. Don't interrupt the process untill you get the green check mark in the box.
