[Q] Calendar Sync - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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

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

When I'm trying to create an even I get a message "Local calendar cannot sync with google calendar. you need a google account"
Well.. I have a google account and I have the calender marked with sync active and in the calendar settings set my google calendar as the only calendar.
WTF?!

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?

TW Calendar help

Ok i've got a S2, and i've decided to use the google calendar sync service.
So i've put my appointments in the Calendar online, and though ok here goes.
open up the calendar and i'm greeted with 'Googl calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies' well i don't have Kies so der. but then 'Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a Google account'
ok so i've got one account, the sync for calendar is ticked, so what am i missing?
i've wiped data, and tried choosing 'My Calendar' and obviously the Gmail calendar. but no
If I create an appointment it appears on the phone and magically appears online? can't sync huh?
but it won't download my online calendar, but i can delete the entry on the phone or on the PC and it disappears on both. So what the Hell is going on?
Help please!

[Q] Google calendar not syncing with device

I have a strange problem where the events in my Google Calendar are not syncing with the stock calendar application.
There are one or two of the latest events that I have added, and these show up in both locations, but all previous events are nowhere to be seen.
When I click on a day in the calendar app I get two messages:
Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies - irrelevant, I do not use Kies.
Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account - at which I go to the account and sync it. Nothing happens.
I can create an event in my Google calendar and it pops straight through as it should do, but none of the previous events and I keep getting these sync errors.
Please help, as it's giving me a headache.
Thanks.

Hmm ... that is not easy to solve.
I also had a similar issue with my Google calendar synch.
After installing a leaked version of Google Talk with Video chat (I think it was the one from paulobrien => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075494&highlight=modaco+talk), my Google account was deleted and I had to create it again.
Since then, I have no problem to synch my Google calendar entries.
Everything is fine now.
So, you may try to delete your Google account on your phone and re-install it again afterwards.
Good luck !

[Q] Annoying Issue with Calendars

So here's the deal. I have three separate calendars that show up in the wonderfully limiting Sense Calendar... ಠ_ಠ
Facebook Calendar (don't really care much, but still a problem)
PC Sync (calendar events from my Outlook Exchange Calendar)
Google (self explanitory)
I use HTC Sync to get the PC Sync events. But I would really like to put these events to the google calendar.
I have been all up and down the interwebs trying to fix this, and the one sure fire solution I am not able to use. (Bosses won't let me use the Google Sync app because they don't want stuff touching the Exchange server.)
So how do I get all three (or just the other two really) to get synced up to my google calendar, so when I log into google.com/calendar I will see all the events that are on my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Bumping up
This probably doesn't help, but our exchange server at work is set up to delete the phones data after 5 attempts at a failed login. I think it's five, maybe three.
There is an option to forward outlook items to a mobile device. On Windows 7, click on file, then click on options (right under help), then go to mobile.
Good luck.

Sorry about the wrong forum.
Checked out the mobile options and can't really do anything there. The link for "Find a text messaging service for your mobile operator" doesn't even work.
- I use outlook 2010 at home for my hotmail, Google, & Cox emails & Google calendar.
-I use "CompanionLink" pc app to sync my google calendars (6) and contacts to/from outlook.
-I use the the android "mail" app, to access my hotmail account (as Exchange ActiveSync for push mail) which pulls in my MSN Calendar, Contacts etc. I also use it for gmail, & cox mail. (disable gmail sync in accounts & sync).
- I am able to see all my Google calendars, MSN Calendars, & Facebook calendars in the HTC calendar app.
- I use android "pure calendar" widget app to have a scrollable homescreen calendar that combines all appointments etc & is customizable (requires Adw or similar launcher).
Don't know if that will help you or not, but it works well for me. The Exchange & Google calendars etc are all separate still but viewed together. If I add an event, I can choose which calendar it goes to.

Sync iPhone Notes to Gmail?

Hi,
i am trying to get the iphone 3G 4.2.1 notes to my gmail account.
I figured thats the easiest way to get it to the s3.
I found several guides and they are all the same and should work for iOS 4.
"On your iPhone go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If the Gmail account you're using with your Android isn't here, add it by going to Add account > Gmail. Go back to Mail settings, tap the Gmail account, and turn syncing on for Calendars and Notes. Within a few minutes, your calendar will transfer to your Android device. Notes will be sent to your Gmail account and filed under a label called Notes."
I did that but i cannot chose to sync notes. I can only sync contacts and emails. I also tried the imap settings.. i can never chose "notes" to sync to gmail.
Can someone please help me?
