I'm not sure if this is covered under this issue or not, but after installing Clockwork .8, TnT Lite, doing a full wipe, fixing the partition issues that are supposed to help the force close issue, then installing G-Harmony, I can't seem to get the Calendar to work right. I setup my Exchange account and was hoping to get it to fetch my calendar details as well. That'd be perfect for viewing and adding appointments while away from the office... It's not a major issue, but that and the voice search seem to be the only two apps that aren't working. Any suggestions?

I was poking around my phone, and I saw that my Contacts haven't synced since January 27. There's an icon, and an explanation that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
Obviously, it's not back shortly seen as it's been almost two months since it's functioned. I kind of had figured there was an issue because some changes that I made didn't make it back to my gmail, but i hadn't looked into it until now.
Has anybody else had a similar issue? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?
I've tried my Nandroid back-up, but that doesn't fix anything (which was expected). I'd rather not do a wipe, but I'll do it if I need to. Thoughts?
I have JF-RC33, HardSPL, Apps not on SD (yet)
Update: Reapplied JF update.zip, no improvement.
I searched around, it seems to be a known issue, but with no real solution. The only thing that is known is that it's probably a data issue (corrupted somehow).
Ive experienced the same thing, i think its a google thing.
I had the same problem after switching from the US version to the UK version.
The only way I ever got it to sync again was to reflash the US version again. Might just be a coincidence, though.
I figured it out. I played around with it a lot, and finally figured it out.
The issue comes from some less than robust programming on Google's part. Sync stops working when some data gets modified both in the Gmail Contacts program and the G1, before a sync takes place. From the moment this screw-up occurs, Sync stops working.
The way I fixed it was kind of weird. I actually ran Koush's Facebook Contacts sync. What I think it did was force the update from the Google server's side. I think google wins in the sync battle, so it forced it to my phone, ending the disconnect.
I'll do some more testing when I have time.
I have seen dozens if not 100's of posts about gmail issues with an auto nootered NC. I can't seem to fix my issue or find anything similar. I have a NC version 1.0.1 that I used auto nooter 2.12.25 and made sure everything worked, market, gmail, rom manager, etc. Then I used the NookColor_v1.1.0_r2.zip file to update the firmware to 1.1. It all seems to work but gmail now closes when I try to delete an email. If I mark the email as unread, then delete, it works as expected. Any ideas?
ADDENDA: strange, I go into the BN library and get an unauthorized error and the system reboots into the 2.12.25 auto-nooter screen.
I had the same problem. GMail was constantly restarting. In the end, my problem was under
Settings->App Settings->Social->Google Account
Simply by unlinking the Google account did the trick. GMail is working well.
Hope it helps.

thanks for the tip, my NC has slowly spiraled out of control since I did the update. I am now, by appearance anyway, back to a simple base install 1.0.1 auto nootered with 2.12.25. We will see how it goes from here for a while before moving on again.
Just installed this ROM on my Sensation XE and I absolutely love it, very fast & stable and really like how clean it is.
Everything I need on it is working great except for the fact that I can't get the calendar to sync at all. It's not syncing in either direction.
I've totally deleted the Exchange account on the phone, cleared the calendar data and re-setup the account, but no difference. I've totally wiped the phone and re-flashed the ROM but it is still happening.
I was using MIUI for a while and had no issues with the calender sync, so don't think there is anything wrong server side.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Problem solved....
Sods law, as soon as post looking for help, I manage to fix it!! An update to my email app (Enhanced Email has just popped up and installed and my calendar has started syncing.
Never even thought that might be where my issue was coming from.
I have two problems since I did a manual upgrade to my I9020T from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4
Exchange Emails - I am using the stock email app. I found that every few hours, the exchange data gets refreshed and all mails gets deleted from handset. Then it will immediately start downloading all mails again from the beginning. This is causing huge data usage and battery drain. I have tried deleting all email accounts, delete call cache in recovery menu and re-creating exchange account again. Still problem persists. When ever the email app starts a refresh, first it will show "No Messages" and then it will again download all emails.
Calendar: Recurring meeting in calendars do not sync with my handset. Other meeting sync without any issues.
Has any body faced such a problem?
I've experienced the same problem with the email client the and the sync.
I had to delete the exchange account from the phone because it ate the battery in 3-4 hours.
You can try deleting data under Settings | Apps | all for calendar, calendar storage, email and exchange services.
Also, I've a lot of issues being resolved by doing a factory reset after updrading to ICS 4.0.4 (just make sure you backup your info).
Factory reset is the last thing I want to do. I have more than 50 games installed and other apps are also installed. I will need to download all of them again if I do a factory re-set. But if there is no solution, I will have to do it any ways. Would a factory re-set delete data from the additional storage on the phone?
Alternatively I have configured touchdown for emails and it works fine. But it does not sync calendar at all. Under accounts and settings, when I open touchdown I do not even see the calendar sync option. Not sure if this is a compatibility issue with ICS.
I finally did a factory reset of the phone and have configured exchange email. Everything seems to be fine. No refresh - delete of emails and recurring meeting sync is too working fine.
Nice!! Good thing is working now!
The problem has come back. I don't think I can do a factory reset every 2-3 weeks. This must be a bug in the stock email client. What is the best alternative email app that I can use? Let me know if you know anything.
I think there is no other solution to this issue unless Google fixes this and I see a remote chance. Untill I am ready to throw this and buy a new phone, I want to get an alternate solution.
I'm on the SGS2, and also on 4.0.4.
My issue is similar, but not quite like yours.
I have some recurring meetings that do sync. I'm just not getting anything new to sync.
Maybe an update will fix it.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you're not alone, and that it's not limited to your phone.

Seems to be a common problem - I've also got exactly the same problem on my Desire with 4.0.4
I had issues with stock client and an exchange account too, honestly, after so much researching, i just got Enhanced Email from the market, works so much better
I tried Touchdown as a replacement. It worked fine for 2 weeks. And now, similar problems are back with Touchdown as well. It is now happening at least once a day. All mails get deleted, and downloaded again. The only difference is that Touchdown downloads mails faster than the stock email.
So, I believe the problem lies with ICS 4.0.4 and how it handles Exchange services. I am not sure if google is even ready to recognize this problem. I had posted this issue in google forums, and no one from google have answered anything.

I'm assuming this works OK on gingerbread? If not could be a problem with the exchange server

While I have not tested this exchange server when my Nexus S was running gingerbread, there are others in the company who are connecting to the same exchange server from their gingerbread phones without any problem.
So I am assuming this works on gingerbread. Is there any setting that need to be looked at the exchange server when the connection is from a ICS phone? Just trying to think differently.
Hi,
Just wondering if there's been any updates on this?
Same problems on my Desire HD running IceColdSandwich 8.6.1... with emails syncing ok, but no exchange calendar sync...
...weird in that no error messages comes up when i press directly to sync calendar, but yet no data coming through.
Like I said though, emails and even contacts are coming through to the device ok.

My problem got resolved by doing factor reset & flashing Google factory images as I was on stock ROM. You can try format of /system in cwm recovery and flashback the ROM. This could be a corruption in Exchange connected. You should take complete backup though.
Alternatively you can try using another email client and see if calendar syncs. There are many in play store.
Right now I am on a custom JB ROM and every thing is fine.

I had this problem since I had to reconfigure exchange after out server was migrated. I disabled the calendar sync and the issue did not reappear. Not sure if that is related or just a coincidence.
i am having this problem in my nexus 5 with kit kat 4.4.4
all my appointments just vanished and i do not know why. when i try to sync it says that sync is currently experiencing problems and that it will be back shortly.
it is like that since 29 July. i already deleted the calendar updates, cleared cache, cleared data and no luck. i can see all my appointments in my browser but my calendar app is empty.
any tips?

As far as I remember it can be related to bad contacts. Several similar situations (and solutions) can be easily found on Google.
I have tried but no luck.
At first, all my appointments disappeared from my mobile phone even when they are still active when i access them from my web browser. and everytime i made a sync (from the google account menu of the mobile phone) the calendar would not sync and it said that it was a problem related with google servers.
i left it alone for some days but thought it was strange for google to have the servers with problems for so many days. after some research i tried to clear cache, clear data, disable calendar and enable it back again.
this did not help me either. but from a clean installation, i tried to add my account again (before updating to the newer version) and i wasn't allowed to do it. after updating to the newer version, i still cannot sync it. now, from the google account menu of the mobile phone, i do not have the option to choose calendar as it is not there anymore. i have all the other options like chrome, contacts, drive, etc but nothing related to calendar.
i really need to make it sync as part of my life is related with appointments and calendar really helps in that.
I also tried to create new appointments all over again but when i try to do so, the calendar app just stands there with a little circle that never stops rotating.
i am using kitkat 4.4.4.
i hope to have some help as i have tried a lot of options but nothing solved my problem.
