I searched through the forums, installed T-Back's fix cab, and also applied the following reg:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 0
No help, it just simply stopped working recently, all "Update Album" shows an error: "no photos or videos found", and when trying to view them from "Open Online Album", i get "the user has nothing to display".
I am able to download their profile picture to use as contact picture however.
Running Sense 2.5 2018, which had everything working perfectly until a few days ago. I doubt it is the security settings on my friends because I am able to view all albums of these contacts before. Only happens on all recently updated contacts, a few contacts that has no album updates for ages worked.
Any help would be great, thanks in advance.
Hi guys!
Added many calendar entries and then realized that you have added it to the local calendar? Android syncs only the calendar which is connected with your Google Account. So if you want to transfer all entries from local calendar to the Google calendar, you have come to the right place
To achieve this, kindly follow these steps and you will be good to go:good: :-
1. Download this app on your phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
2. Open it and go to Calendars Backup--->Backup
3. Chose the file name and start the backup.
4. Then transfer the backup file to your pc. It will be in /sdcard/SmsContactsBackup/calendars
5. Open up the backup file on your pc. I'd highly recommend you to use Notepad++ for this. You will see multiple <Calendar entries at the top of the file. Look for the entry which has this attribute:- account_type="LOCAL"
Note down the _id attribute for this <Calendar entry.
6. Now look for <Calendar entry which has name="[email protected]" attribute and note down the _id attribute. Here xyz is your gmail username.
7. Now open Find & Replace and replace this -
Code:
calendar_id="1"
with
Code:
calendar_id="2"
Here, 1 is the _id for LOCAL <Calendar entry and 2 is the id for your Google Calendar (in my case). It could be different for you. So basically whichever calendar entry is set as local, will be converted to the google calendar's entry so that it can be synced
8. Now transfer the modified file back to /sdcard/SmsContactsBackup/calendars
9. Now open Superbackup--->Calendars and click on Delete all calendars.
10. Then restore the modified backup and re-sync your phone with the google calendar. All your local entries will now appear as google calendar entries and will get synced properly to your account.
Enjoy

I have been looking for something like this for several days now. I haven't tried it yet but I will soon and I can't wait. Thank you for sharing.

Glad to hear that at least someone found it useful.

Yeah this is very useful. I know most people only use the Google Calendar and don't ever worry about this but for the people that don't know the difference and then try to switch devices this is good to know. Great find!
Great thanks, that's exactly what I was searching for !!
You saved me 2hours of re-entering many bithdays and garbage-colection-days
Entries disappear when syncing.
Hello. I tried this one for my dad's Xperia S. All went well up until I tried to sync it with his google account. After it finishes syncing, all the calendar entries just disappear. Help please?
Hello, I tried this method and everything looks like it is working, when I restore the modified backup it says it is updating 601 entries to the calendar, which is about right - but I am still not seeing them on the calendar.
Do most phones not have a method of exporting local calendars which can then be imported to Google Calendars or other calendars?
Easier way to do it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applisto.copyevents.pro
This allows to periodically move events from one calendar to another and, when using it for the first time allows to specify which time frame has to be considered (into the past and into the future).
Copy: events copied from 1 calendar to the other.
Mirror: tracking changes
Move: original event is removed, only left in target calendar.
It is powerful, be careful to read explanations and features.

I was unable to get this guide to work at all. However, another suggestion here worked well. The basic idea is to export an existing calendar as an ICS file and then import it to Google (or wherever) using a desktop computer web browser. The free program referenced in that post worked for me. I was able to export a single calendar as an ICS without issue. However, I couldn't use the suggested program to import a calendar; I had to use the Google Calendar website instead.
you can migrate the events you've already entered on the Phone's calendar (to which you've been adding events with the Samsung Calendar App) into Google Calendar for free using a tool such as Calendar Sync Trial. Open the app and go to "Export" to create an ics (iCal) file containing the phone's calendar events, then import that file into a Google Calendar using a browser, or the same app. You can get Calendar Sync Trial from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icalparse.free

BTW, this question was also asked at a StackExchange site: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/85089/sync-local-calendar-entries-with-google/231000
There is a widespread problem with a process called "Exchange Services" on Android that rapidly drains device batteries. I have found references to the problem going at least as far back as Android 4.0. I can personally confirm that it happens on Android 4.4.2. And it happens on just about all devices, as far as I can tell.
I have:
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012), on Android 4.1.2
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon), on Android 4.4.2
Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, on Android 4.4.2
For email, I have an Exchange account for work and an Exchange account for my personal domain.
Work email is on Exchange Server 2010 w/SP1.
Personal email was on Exchange Server 2007, up until around April.
Then it was on Exchange Server 2010 w/SP3, up until yesterday.
Now it is on Exchange Server 2013.
I have never had this problem on any device, with my work email (Exchange 2010 SP1).
I never had this problem on any device, when my personal email was on Exchange 2007.
I had this problem on all 3 devices after my personal email was upgraded to Exchange 2010 w/SP3.
I don't have this problem on any device now that my personal email has been moved to Exchange 2013.
On my S4 and my Note 10.1, I was able to get the problem to go away by deleting my personal Exchange account from the device, rebooting into Recovery and wiping cache, then re-adding the Exchange account to the device.
On my Tab Pro, nothing I did made the problem go away (when my personal email was on Exchange 2010 w/SP3). I went as far as doing a factory reset to completely wipe the tablet, then only adding the personal email account. And many other combinations in between. Nothing helped. I've had my Tab Pro 8.4 for about a month now and I have had to charge it every single day. If I didn't, it would die in less than 24 hours, even if I didn't use it at all. The only thing that would keep it from dying would be to turn off WiFi.
On my S4, I installed SafeStrap and the HyperDrive 17.1 ROM for a few days. I tried the S5 email client, the N3 email client, and the "stock w/security removed" email client (reflashing the whole ROM for each one) and they all exhibited this problem and I could not get it to go away. I finally Odin'ed back to the stock NC5 image and re-setup everything and had the problem. I deleted my personal email account, wiped cache, re-added personal email, and it went away again.
I enabled Exchange ActiveSync logging for my Tab Pro and for my S4 (can be done on the server, using Outlook Web Access, in Options) when it was having the problem and I identified what the actual problem is: The problem is that the device is constantly trying to sync and failing, so it keeps retrying continuously. Specifically, it is attempting to do a Sync on the Collection with CollectionID of "RI", which is the Recipient Info Cache collection. All the other collections sync okay, so your email, calendar, etc, sync and work just fine. But, the ActiveSync logs show that the Sync attempt on RI causes the server to generate an internal exception and then return a Status code of 8 (which, according to the documentation indicates that the collection has been moved or deleted).The device receives the status of 8 and immediately re-attempts to sync the RI. Over and over and over, once every 1 to 2 seconds. THIS is what was crushing the battery on my devices.
I investigated further and found that Microsoft actually has a patch available for this server bug. The KB article that describes the issue and provides the resolution is here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2886469/en-us
The only thing that I feel like is still a mystery is why, for example, my phone would have this problem and then I could delete the account, wipe cache, and re-add the account and have the problem go away. Looking at logs of my phone syncing when it's actually working show that it Syncs RI and the server does not throw an exception. That is really strange. I guess I just have to settle for "stupid Microsoft!" and move on.
I spent the last couple of weeks trying to get my hosted Exchange provider (Apptix) to apply this MS patch to my server. They initially said they would have to test it in their lab, etc., and it could be a couple of months before they put it into production. Then, eventually they told me that they can't load it on my server with no explanation of why. In other words, Apptix SUCKS!! I was with them for years. They used to be MailStreet, but they changed names in the last year. I'm guessing AppTix bought MailStreet. MailStreet really used to be great! I would call Tech Support and the person who answered the phone would be totally competent and always handled any issue I had with 1 phone call - 2 at the most. Now that they are Apptix, their support sucks big green donkey parts. And, they more than doubled my monthly fees, in the name of premium support, too! How ironic!
With Apptix, after weeks of trying I was completely unable to get a resolution to this problem. They kept telling me it's just a known thing that devices using ActiveSync burn a lot of battery and I should just change my devices from Push to polling every 1 hour. They simply would not install the Microsoft patch that has been available for 9 MONTHS!
So, yesterday, I moved my domain to hosted Exchange with Rackspace.com. They are awesome. I was able to do the whole migration myself (except for one phone call to get them to add an Accepted Domain to my account for a subdomain that I need because I'm using Split Domain Routing - some mailboxes on Google and some on Rackspace), in about 2 hours. And I went from paying $33/month for 5GB of mailbox storage to $10/month for 100GB!
And, best of all, I moved all my devices over to my new account on Rackspace, where I'm on an Exchange 2013 server, and none of them have Exchange Services battery drain any more. My Tab Pro was burning through 80% of its battery in less than 20 hours. Today, it has been on battery for 15h 54m and battery is at 83%.
TL;DR: If you're having this problem, the FIX (vs some workarounds I've seen posted) is to either apply the Microsoft patch linked above to your Exchange 2010 server. You might have to upgrade it to Service Pack 3 first. OR, upgrade your server to Exchange Server 2013.
Caveat: I don't know for SURE that the MS patch will fix your problem, as I didn't get to try it. But, the problem description EXACTLY matches the logs I was generating, so I strongly suspect it will fix the problem.
If you want to see for yourself if this is the explanation for your own version of this problem, try this:
Login to Outlook Web Access for your email account. It has to be the full version, not the Light version.
In the upper right, click on Options/See All Options.
Then, in the left pane, click Phone.
Then, in the right pane, click on your device and then click on Start Logging.
If you don't see these options, you are not in the right version of OWA.
Leave logging on for 10 or 15 minutes, then, on the same screen, click on Retrieve Log.
This will stop logging and put the log file as an attachment to an email in your Inbox.
The log file can be opened in Notepad. It's XML. Look for something that looks like this (the part that says Microsoft.Exchange.AirSync.AirSyncPermanentException, and then the part at the bottom that says <Status>8</Status>):

Hello,
Hope all is well,
So after reading this thread I went ahead and turned auto sync off from the notification panel. Deleted some accounts and only left my outlook account. For some reason exchange services keep waking up my cpu. Does anyone have the same issue, or can help me find a solution?
Thanks in advance

This for remove fb messenger or enable fb mesesenger? Can understand

This has been patched as of v131 and on. Internal menu can still be brought up. However, attempting to change params in mobile config throws an error. You need an employee or tester login. None of the mobile config settings will be listed.
Edit:
If you have automatic updates like I do (preference), uncheck Messenger. Downgrade to a version from July. You can get one from APK Mirror.
Facebook pushed a server side script that now displays a permanent upgrade notification on the top of the messages list. This targets clients using versions all the way down to 124.0
I downgraded one by one to each version (excl beta!) found on APK Mirror. Right now, v123 and below does not have this problem. You still get all the other features and the internal menu.
Hello.
Two phones sharing the same google account.
Root problem,on android 4:
D/SyncManager( 1634): failed sync operation u0 (com.google), com.android.contacts, SERVER, latestRunTime 158288549, reason: AutoSync, SyncResult: stats [ numIoExceptions: 1 numInserts: 39 numUpdates: 42 numDeletes: 7]
since july 31st.
Android 7 is working fine.
I have tried contact fix sync on both phones, did not help.
I have found a not so stupid solution: clear cache data for ContactProvider. It should flush the issue, and allow future resync. But, I have edited some contacts on android 4 after july 31st; so, before the cache clean, I want to list modified contacts.
I have tried to extract the SQL3 DB, but most IDs differ, so, its PITA to track changes.
I have backuped contacts into a VCF file using Super Backup, but .... the only VCF comparator I have found has a stupid bug:
vCards for 'Isabelle Paya' are different:
vCard a (photo removed):
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
Noyo;Isabelle;;;
FN:Isabelle Poyo
TEL;TYPE=cell:0648185566
TEL;TYPE=voice:0559122133
END:VCARD
vCard b (photo removed):
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
Noyo;Isabelle;;;
FN:Isabelle Poyo
TEL;TYPE=voice:0559122133
TEL;TYPE=cell:0648185566
END:VCARD
For some reasons, having phone numbers in different order makes him thing it's a different content.
I gave up with asking logcat which contact causes the sync failure; now, I just want to set MANUALLY the list of contacts that differ in both phones. With 1154 contacts, it can't be done by one after the other. I have tried various things on SQL3, but the scheme is very complex, and writing the required SQL comparator would take me over a week.

Also, VCF is a bad word to search in Google; the most frequent results talk about genetics.
