i got my m20p on thanksgiving eve, been playing with it. It just came to me that my calendar from google is not showing up in the calendar app, where i had no problems with the m9, and m10p. can someone please help me with that??? i did try adding an account to the calendar app, but its saying the account is already being used.
thanks
I gave up with the stock app as it kept complaining about needing internet connectivity & other annoyances while using it, so I've downloaded Google's own Calendar app from the Play Store & removed the built in one. The only issue with this is that when pressing the Date in the notification menu, it doesn't go through to the calendar app (they've hardcoded it to launch com.android.calendar), but that's only a minor complaint really...

In the account settings of the calendar app can't you select your account (smt like [email protected]) in the Gmail account section, and deselect MyCalendar?

Oh sorry, my bad. I didn't know that.
The biggest problem with most calendar apps is that they tie to your Google account on the device. Of course, nobody has been able to get Google sign-ins fully working on the NC. I would imagine once they get that figured out, the stock calendar and many 3rd party calendars will work.

How to Sync Calendar
Easy - just go to your Gmail account setup. You will see a box for "Add New Account". Just add your GMail account again - YES, do this. You will then see a screen for syncing stuff - on it will be an option for syncing "Calendar" - check this.
Now you can sync Google Calendar on your PC with that on the Nook Color!
There's also a PC App for syncing your Google Calendar (on PC) with your Outlook Calendar.
I've been using a combination of [paid] "Puregrid Calendar" Widget and [free] "Synker" to keep my Gmail calendar sync'd with the Nook Color. It has a nice full month calendar widget on the home screen that I really like.
I wasn't aware there was any reliable to way to sync the Gmail calendar with the device, so I'll have to give the mentioned method a shot and see if I can maybe get rid of Synker (although I like being able to sync on demand with a device that isn't connected to the Internet 24/7).
SWEET
@Docfreed - thanks - I've been trying to figure this out for days!
Try Smooth Calendar in the Market.
Doc's fix worked. Thanks.
I use Calendar Pad. It has a couple widget sizes and modes... day, week, and month.
Cheers,
Rich

@Docfreed, Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Meanwhile, synker seems to do the trick.

I had the same problem, got synker working as well but would love to not have to use it.
I tried going to gmail and adding account but got the same message as ehrune. Any help would be appreciated.
I am such a dork... can't remember anything anymore. I found another thread with a solution and I also found a semi solution that I actually posted myself. Geesh!
I posted this in December and didn't remember:
"My calendar wasn't working. I went to Calendar - menu - more - my calendar
Then I removed my calendar, added it back and voila! It populated."
A more permanent solution is in this thread:

Does anybody know a way to get the Calendar to sync with a Google Apps account? I tried to re-add the account but the option to sync with Google App still is not working.
weird bar at top of calendar

Problem:
I have 3 calendars in my google calendar.

I know it may be stating the obvious but im assuming you have the other calendars all ticked. i.e open calendar app, tap top left to display year, month, week etc and at the bottom you'll see the calendars its showing (you can also pick their colour to differentiate)

Of course. The problem is THEY ARE NOT THERE.
The only one visible is default gmail.com one.
The other two are NOT there, although they are on Gmail and on my Xperia Z as well.
Maybe you can say which calendar(s) make you problem?

I'm sure its a kitkat related problem as your Xperia Z would be running JB not 4.4.2.
Have you tried clearing the calendar caches. i.e. from managing apps, finding calendar and clearning the data cache and then attempting a re sync?
If that doesnt work, it may be the stock calendar. Then try google calendar from the play store to try to pinpoint what is causing it. i.e. calendar on the phone, kitkat etc
I had the same problem. 1 of my calendar was not appearing. I solved it by removing my account from the accounts settings and adding it back. Then all my calendar appeared in stock calendar app.

My gmail calendar has 3 groups/subgroups whatever you call it.
Only one syncs. The other ones do not.
How to remove the account?
Google account?
Settings-tap on Google (in section Accounts),tap on email adress, in sync page tap on 3 dots, choose delete account.
NO SUCCESS.
After removing and resyncing the Google account I still see only default calendar.
What a crap!

Have you cleared the calendar app cache and data via managing apps.
Also tried Google calendar from the play store?
This will atleast start eliminating what the culprit could be.
It may be the calendar app itself for some reason.

Ha!
Ok so I installed the GoogleCalendar.
After that the other calendars started to be visible in the Google one
But than also appeared on Sony one (!!!).
I uninstalled the Google one and the calendars stayed in the Sony one.
Wicked! But thanks.

z2 google calendars not displaying
Just wanted to say I removed and re-added the google account and then finally showed all the calendars that I linked to my account.
One thing I've noticed that I'm sure wasn't an issue before is that it only syncs about 1yr back not All events. Via google calendar from a PC events years ago are there but not on my phone. Just can't find any options to sync everything

Gmail Feature: Gmailify
There's a %100 chance that you already have and use Gmail on your Android phone. So I'm not going to exactly blow our mind when I tell you about this app. However there is a new feature that was announced recently that might have gone under the radar for some of you. "Gmailify" is the horribly named new feature that lets you use any Yahoo or Hotmail email address with the Gmail app and take advantage of all of your favorite Gmail features.
Now I can consolidate both my @Live and @gmail addresses in one app. The Gmail client has always been my favorite app to use for email. So I much prefer to use this than a third party client to consolidate my accounts.
To get stared just add a new account like you would normally and you'll see the option to add your @Live and @YAHOOO accounts. Check out this video that was uploaded to Google's YouTube channel.
Download Gmail
How many of you will take advantage of this feature?
Well, more years ago than I can remember I pretty much linked all of my emails to Gmail, so I've had this functionality across all platforms since then.
For as long as I can remember the android app has also let me choose which of these addresses to send from.
I'd recommend that approach tbh.
Can be done from the site. This app-feature lead me to it so that was useful. But I can read all the email accounts by anything accessing the gmail, Android and desktop applications.
Has anyone figured out how to Gmailify more than one account. I want to Gmailify both my hotmail account and my yahoo account. I can do either, but not both. Very silly limitation.

Hmmm, I am not running into this limitation. I am able to gmailify multiple accounts no problem.

That's not gmailfying, thats just adding an account to the gmail app (which has been around for years). Gmailifying means gmail completely takes over, when you open gmail (from any device) you will have the mail from the gmailified account alongside your gmail. Adding an account the way you describe is just local on the app. What you need to do is "link" an account, not just add an account. To do this, after you add an account, go into the setting and chose link to gmail. However, if you already have 1 account linked it will tell you that you can't have another one linked. I hope this makes sense.

OP gave up.
I have a terrible solution for your problem!
Just use 2 different users on your device, have 2 different sets of apps. With 2 different Gmailify apps, you can link both accounts separately. Will it work? Am I genius or a fool?

Hi guys!
I recently bought the mi pad 4 and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I downloaded the Google play store installer from xiaomi's webpage and so I got the play store up and running.
However the calendar and contacts app by Google don't seem to connect to my Google account. Contacts stays empty (only showing the few contacts that use telegram) and the calendar app shows a placeholder account, look at the attached image.
I would really like to also use those two apps on my tablet and would love if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance¡
Best wishes

i was facing the same problem, here was how i solved it:
Give all permission, or at lease the permission to modify your contact, to Google Account Manager, Google contact sync and the Google contact app.
Allow these app to started by other apps, in the startup settings.
Also I tried to install google contact sync version 9 but it doesn't work, i downgrade to 8 and contact appear in the google sync option.
As for the calendar issue, try login within the calendar app.
Try to install Google Calendar and Phone apps and they will ask for activating the calendar and contact sync. Of course you need to say "yes".
The above method works for me.
didn't get the prompt to grant certain permissions for those apps, but finally I've managed. Alot of permissions had to be granted manually to both contacts and calendar app and google services.
thanks for the help, guys!

Hello,
I wanted to know which email App you use. Because the original one I don't like it and Gmail on quick app is very awful :/
So if you can answer to this it would be great!
I use Gmail. Yeah Gookill is just evil.
Use a cloud based only app like Gmail.
That eliminates malware completely unless you chose to download it.
Gmail is excellent with spam and I have never gotten malware through it except if not mindful of downloaded files.
My Yahoo email got locally wifi hacked once, I don't trust it's encryption now.
Outlook is malware central
Yahoo mail, with Gmail and Yahoo account.
I have no notifications, but I check it anyway, several times a day.
Aquamail, the best.
Nine -> Just get it from Petal Search. If you paid for it on playstore you can add your subscription on the Huawei without issue, you just need to paste the order or something in the app.
Blue Mail

Thanks to MicroG settings, now I have notifications too.
Hi, I've been using Spark, I tried also BlueMail but didn't like it at all, what made me convince about Spark is that it syncs also your gmail folders, so everything keeps as if you were using gmail app, also your signatures, contacts an many more features that makes me forget about gmail native app.
It's available in app gallery, good luck!
Another cool app imo -> "Re:Work". https://rework.so/
I was using "Nine" previously so this is their new app and even had promotion for "Nine" users.
It's not available in the app gallery but it can be downloaded.
