Google Calendar Not Syncing At All - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

I got syncing working between Outlook and the Google Calendar site ... so I can see all my events and such on the Google Calendar website.
What isnt working is the sync with my Tab 10.1 ... I can see the calendar name on the Tab (and it changes on the Tab almost immediately when I change the calendar name on the website) but none of the events ever sync down to the device.
I've tried removing my google account and setting it back up, tried just turning sync on/off, tried powering off/on ... any one else having this issue and/or solved it? Thanks.

I am having the same exact issues you are. When I'm out and about I set all my calander events on my evo. Non of them however transfer over to my tab. I made sure auto sync is on and even tried manually hitting the sync button but no dice. Its easier to view mybdaynahead on my tab. Hopefully next update take all GT 10.1s from a beta feel to a solid feel. On my second GT10.1 already :-(
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "

So between this issue and a few others I factory reset my SGT last night and magically the Google Calendar is working perfectly now (so far). :-/

Not sure if my answer apply, but I sync with exchange and that work fine at least.

I think I'm having the same issue, or at least I'm sure that the calendar widgets don't show all the synched appointments in my calendars...

the calendar widget is garbage, because it only displays your events for the week. download WIZZ from the market, it has a much better agenda widget.

Google calendar doesn't sync

I can't work out why, but stuff added to my google Calendar on my phone, doesn't sync to my online google calendar.
Stuff added online, shows up on my phone's calendar with a red marker when you open the calendar. But stuff added on the phone, doesn't show up online! When you add something using the monthly widget, it shows up with a blue marker, and doesn't seem to upload to google. This is really annoying, and no amount of going in to Data sync settings and forcing synchronisaition seems to fix it. Somewhere, I must have set up something wrong, I assume, but can anyone tell me where..?
OK,
So I 've managed to figure out that there are multiple calendars on the Hero. One must be the google online one, and the other must be the phone one. Both are called "My calendar". I can't find a way of deleting the phone one, or changing its name, or just using the online one as default, but I have gone on to the website and changed the name of the online one to something different. This now means I can identify the differences between them, and put stuff on my online calendar easily from my phone.
But can anyone tell me how I can move appointments between calendars? Or delete the phone only calendar altogether? I have no need for it, if I have an online calendar!!
On mine one is called "my calendar" and the other is my google email login name. Seems like my calendar is local to the phone whereas the "other" is the online calendar which could be shared with others.
Don't know yet how to move between the two or how to delete the local one. Mine always defaults to the online one so I just never change it.

Hello everybody,
I am having the exact same issue on a non-rooted HTC Magic (32A). The problem must have occured because I did not directly sign on my gmail account during the setup wizard, but did that later on.
As a result, a "my calendar" cal was created and was made the phone's default one. Later on, I did sign to gmail and, as a result, obtained access to my google calendars. However, the "my calendar" account remains there and I have not been able to remove it from the list of calendar accounts. To make things worse, selecting to create a new calendar event preselects "my calendar" instead of my own gmail calendar.
Of course I can always return the phone to factory defaults, but that would mean that I'd have to reinstall my applications, do a zillion of tuneups etc etc. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the same thing? Or a workaround to preselect my own gmail calendar as the default one?
Thanks in advance for any info provided.

EDIT: I am not really sure whether signing directly at the first setup wizard execution avoid the creation of "my calendar" altogether, OR it just creates it but sets the gmail calendar as the default.... Can anyone who has directly provided his/her gmail account during the initial setup wizard, confirm whether:
(a) a local "my calendar" calendar exists (or not) and
(b) which calendar is the default one, when a new calendar event is created

Yes, the local "my calendar" still exists.
When I create a new event, it uses whichever calendar I selected the last time I created an event.
In my case, my google calendar is labelled with my full name, and the HTC one is "my calendar", so it's easy...

And you connected to google services right at the initial setup wizard, without skipping it? There goes the theory then...

I'm on a HTC Magic and no matter which calendar I select during event creation, the next event will again default to "my calendar". Are you on Hero? Other?

I can see the google calendar and I can create events there or view the synced ones. Everything works perfectly there. I just can't make my own Google calendar the default

On the Hero, it's remembered next time. at least it is for me.

Calendar still does not sync
In spite of using the option to enter my calendar dates with my google account my Hero still will not upload dates to my google calendar. Google calendar does sync down to my Hero however. Is this something I'm doing wrong or is this a known problem?
works fine for me; the only issue is to ensure you're adding the event to the correct calendar, i.e. the Google one, not an Outlook one, or the local Hero one, with the latter being the default.
after I realised that, it's always worked for me.
yeah still not working. Very odd indeed.
Is it still a problem after installing the new ROM?
For me at least.
HOORAY!
Can confirm the problem - at least for my phone and several other Orange users...
As explained before, for each event you create, the calendar must be set to your google calendar (which you set up on installing the phone for the 1st time, or via settings).
Also, you must ensure that Orange haven't (in their infinite wisdom) set up a under 18 child protection thing on your account, because for some reason this stops the calendar on your Hero uploading data to Google!
I've switched this off and can now add (and delete) data on my Hero which syncs to my Google calendar with ease.
Another solution I have come across.
If you are using HTC ONE-x or similar, this could also be with any phone - your HTC will have it's own calendar + Google has its own as well. I have always used the HTC one, but this time I thought I will give the Google calendar a go. This is when the problems started, as I didnt like the Google Calendar and went back to the HTC, and every event I added on it - even though syncs with the Google calendar on the phone, it does not sync with Gmail online calendar.
So, I then added an event on my phone into the Google Calendar app and it synced. Now I am just coping all the events one by one from HTC calendar to Google. A bit annoying, but at least everything syncs.
Can't even switch the Google Calendar app off, as it deleted all the calendars from both HTC and Google.

[Q] Android without gmail ?

Hi there
I am on Android since about 2 months, using a HTC Desire S. As I am allergic with Sense, I direclty installed a custom rom, from wich I deleted useless applications to me.
This is when I figured out that deleting Gmail will prevent the calendar to work ("You have no calendars").
So I got connected to my Gmail account from the web (created especially to access the android market), and I noted that my calendar were syncronized, and worst, that all my contacts from the phone were there too.
I am not quite parano, but I'd like to know if there is a way to keep the calendar and contacts only on the phone.
Autosync is disabled on my phone, but it had probably been enabled on the early days, so would disabling the auo sync prevent FOREVER my calendar and contacts to be uploaded to gmail, and manly, is it possible to use the calendar without installing the gmail apk ?
Thank you
Can't tell you about what the sync is doing, because I honestly do not care, so I haven't looked into it, BUT what I can tell you is that the calendar works beautifully eventhough I don't have GMail installed.
Thanks for your information
Well then...
I found somethin' about these apks :
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
But I did not delete them, I can find them on my /system/app/ folder, when I tried to install them it asked me if want to replace it, I said Yes but then I have the report with the green check (as a good thing happened), but next to it it's writtent "Application not installed"...
Well it did nothing I think but this doesn't seem to be my issue, as they are already there.
OK,
What I had to do, is simply go in the "account & sync settings" menu, click on my gmail account (synced off) and then launch a calendar sync...
So this is a force go, if you want to use calendar, you need to sync it at least once.
Quite fair but could be better, even Bada needs a Samsung account to use the store since Bada 2.0...

[Q] how to install google calendar on note?

Is there any way to install google calendar on the galaxy note? i'm sorry but S planner sucks very bad, it does not sync my time properly (weird it shows time data but is not actaully in the correct time slot), and i cannot set default reminder time. what are you thinking samsung?

Just sync your Google account to the Note and the calendar should be there.

The stock calendar is a pretty good implementation. I like the way it has the different tabs on the side for day, week and month views.
As stated, sync you google account in Settings->Accounts and make sure the Calendar option is checked.
Interesting. I find the stock calendar to be much better than the GMAIL one. If you really dont like it; try Jorte. Whatever calander app you use, you still sync the google content the same way.
Has anyone found away to sync the notes tasks with a Google account?

i've just tried JORTE, MUCH better. at least it sync properly.
HOWEVER, whenever i have 5 appointments int he same timeslot, JORTE only shows the last one. in google calendar, it would would shorten them to show all of them.. anyway i can do this in JORTE?
I think the calendar that comes on the note is FANTASTIC a lot better than any stock or gmail calendar I have seen on Android phones these days.

Cannot get calendar apps to see select Google calendars

I've done some looking around, but I haven't found a solution that has solved the problem, so I hope this isn't redundant:
I have two or three Google calendars. If I go to the website, I see them all fine and can see the information in them. I have my EVO 3D (stock, Gingerbread; too many ICS complaints for me to run the Sprint OTA) set to sync and to show these calendars, but none but the main one will show. This is true whether I have them set to show multiple calendars together or set to show only individual ones. I tried clearing the data in Calendar Storage and resyncing; it made no difference. I don't use the stock Calendar app; I use Jorte and Pimlical, but none of the three of them will show the other calendars (which I believe is because there's only one group of calendar selection settings, no matter which app you use). BTW, the other calendars don't show on either of my tablets, either, so it's not really just a 3D problem.
Does anyone have any idea how to correct this situation?

This was an issue with Gingerbread which (for me at least) was resolved in ICS. When I used GB, I got around this problem by using multiple Google accounts and then sharing them with the primary account (the one you have linked to your phone). I had our family calendar as the calendar on my primary Google account. My wife's work calendar was on her account. I created another Google account for my work sked. The key on your secondary calendars, is to go to settings and share them with your primary account. If you select "Make changes and manage sharing" under permissions, you'll be able to make changes from your phone.
Like I said, on ICS, the issue went away for me, and I have created several new calendars on my primary Google account and all of them show up on my E3D.

Thanks for responding. I wrote you a long post which got lost because my login timed out before I was finished writing. I should have copied it first, but didn't so let me just say this: There is information going around that clearing Calendar Data solves the problem. I have three devices; it didn't work on any of them, and it also made me lose the ability to see anything on my device past a month ago, which it turns out Google warns you about on a Google Calendar help page:
Clear your device's Calendar application data
Warning: After performing the following steps, events from more than 30 days ago will no longer be available for viewing on your device. Rest assured these events remain saved on the main Google Calendar server and are accessible via the web. Further, these steps will cause your Calendar app settings (e.g., Calendar notification ringtones) to be reset.
We recommend proceeding with these steps only if the above steps did not resolve the issue.

I solved my problem by exporting all my calendars, deleting all data from my primary calendar and importing the data back in to it.
This process had differing results on my three devices, but I was at least able to get a complete "timeline" in one calendar to show on each device. This doesn't help everyone, but it may help some. Remember: If you need to keep any extended period of time available on your device, DON'T clear Calendar Data!
It's sad that after all this time Google hasn't been able to do better than this.

Question Outlook in work profile - possible bug on S23

Have been using Outlook in my work profile with no issues on a Pixel 6 for the past 2 years. Switched to a S23U a few days ago and am periodically unable to see my Outlook calendar. S23U just displays a blank calendar with no events and claims that all available calendars are hidden. Force quitting Outlook and restarting it immediately resolves the issue. Anyone else seen that?
I am 100% stock ATT firmware. The only slightly unusual thing I do is that I also install Outlook in my personal profile which allows my Garmin Fenix 7 watch to catch notifications from Outlook. The Outlook in the personal profile is completely unconfirmed, but it does seem to see notifications from the work profile and allows the Fenix to catch and display them. Had the same setup on the Pixel 6 and it worked without any issues.
No issues on mine. Outlook for work in secure folder and personal outlook in my standard profile all working as expected.

Have not, I try to not deal with first level tech support when I can avoid it. I don't need to be told to reboot the phone and clean cache 5x despite me telling them that I have already tried that
I use Outlook for my work account and I have not had any issues with the calendar (I live and die by my calendar). Both in the app and the app widget are working perfectly fine for me.
Go into the app and go to settings, account, reset account and your calendar sync issue should then be sorted.
This method shouldn't wipe your account, so no need to start messing trying to set it all back up again.

I think there is a bug with the Samsung Calendar app (including Calendar storage).
Although my case is different from yours, this is what my problem is:
I use Your Calendar Widget on my Homescreen instead of Google Calendar Widget. If I edit a calendar entry, such as changing the event date, the event disappears from this 3rd party widget, although the Google Calendar Widget shows the event in the right place after the edit.
I use the same setup on my OnePlus phone and I don't have this problem there, so a problem with the 3rd party app can be ruled out.
