Cant see all my calendars from google on my android - General Questions and Answers

Im having issues with my calendar.
Im syncing with google (of course..) and I have there 4 calendars.
On my phone, however, I can see in ( calendar > settings > calendars) only three of them.
How can I activate the fourth one?
I also tried (and removed) Simple calendar widget and there I had the forth one listed (doesnt happen on the regular calendar screen) as "not active".
I found few threads around the forum related to my topic but none of them was helpful. even erasing data & FC to calendar from Settings > apps > manage apps > calendar..

calendar: missing menu + holidays

Recently I updated from TnT 2.0.0 to 2.0.2, and I notice that the menu & return button on the notification bar has disappeared. In fact, they appear for half a second and then got covered by the notification bar, and now I can't change mode (day/week/agenda). The return button on the side of the g-tablet still works, but the menu button does not -- only for this app! Any suggestion?
One more calendar question, and I noticed that even back in 2.0.0: the calendar app does not show US holidays. The holidays do show up when I log into google calendar directly; they also show up on my pandigital novel, so this is an issue with the g-tablet calendar app. Any suggestion?
Bonus question: I thought that TnT 2.0.2 is supposed to have a different calendar & contact app than 2.0.0, but they look the same to me after the update. And I know there's an update since I now have a "home" button and long-press on home gives "recent apps". Any suggestion?
Are you able to select your online Google calendar?....I can't. I have my calendar on two separate android phones but not on this tablet. When I go into settings to select calendar from the Jorge app...there is nothing.

I just borked my calender for stupid unrelated reasons, but this is what I did to get it working (I believe others have similar things; search!):
* fire up the contact app
* click menu > add account > choose corporate
* enter your google account info, make sure you enable both contact & calendar sync
* once you're done, go back and turn off and then back on both contact & calendar sync. I found that I had to do that a couple of times before the calendar syncs.
YMMV! Now, back to fixing my borked contact :-(
If you're wanting the calendar and contacts to work on your gtablet the same way they do in basic Android (without having to use the Add a Corporate Account kludge, and to see multiple calendars), I figured it out:

Requires wiping your user data to start fresh (on TNTLite 2.0), but it is doable.

[Q] How do you disable auto login in the browser?

While trying out the HTC One S browser I noticed that it used my stored Google and Facebook account credentials to log on to the relevant (Google/Facebook) pages automatically, without asking. Is there a setting to prevent this from happening, or at least ask me before doing it?
There was such an option in the browser settings of the Sandvold ICS ROM I used on my Desire, but I can't seem to find the option in the same place on the One S.
It's probably under accounts & sync or there may be an option in your browser. Try going to menu > settings > applications > browser > clear data. Then start a new session and see if it prompts again...

Duplicate Tasks in Calendar

So the tasks app on the One S syncs with Google Tasks. You can also choose to have Google Tasks show up on your calendar. My problem is every task I enter shows up twice in the calendar. I have tried all different settings in the tasks and calendar apps. This includes hiding all calendars except tasks, and they still show twice.
I'm at a loss as to what is happening. I checked Google Tasks online and there are no duplicates. Is anybody else experiencing this?
I am also having this problem.
I haven't found a fix for it yet, but if I do I will make sure to post back here.
Same problem to me.
The only workaround I found was installing another PIM software (Jorte) and setting Tasks in Jorte only to local. But in this way they are not synchronized with anything.
I don't understand why HTC Sync or HTC Sync Manager synchronizes only calendar and contacts with Outlook and not tasks, this sounds crazy.
Same here
I have the same problem with my HTC one S. I'm contacting HTC, as this appears to be a bug in Sense. Both the duplicate entries appear to be originating as Tasks. When I try to delete one of the duplicates from calendar, both get deleted. Also, this appears to be a problem only with Gtasks; Exchange and Hotmail tasks work fine. Workaround for now is defaulting all new (non work related) tasks as Local. Just installed an update from HTC yesterday and the problem is still there.
Same issue
I have the same issue with on my HTC One S (stock ROM). I'm also hoping this gets resolved quickly.
There isn't a fix for it by tweaking the settings, but I find it strange that for the google account, I can check 2 different calendars.
One is named [my gmail address] and the other is named "Task". Under my gmail address are no appointments, "Task" does contain them.
I have found a temporary fix though for deleting duplicates, you just clear the phone's temporary data (not a factory reset). You can do this under [settings] > [storage] and tap "make more space" under both internal and phone storage. I don't know exactly which one contains the data. *Update* This only seems to work first time round...
This fix implies that the cause of the problem lies in the phone internally. From my intermediate knowledge of programming I suspect that every edit of a task (including creation of it) for google accounts is stored on the phone seperately as a file that doesn't equal (in programmatic terms) the others. Therefore, the calendar will hold every local "version" of the task + the one on google's servers.
As for resorting to alternative market apps, I haven't found any task app that easily lets me set a reminder on any date and time I wish. It's always the same day or the day before at most. The best I've seen is a very limited list of options that goes as far back as a week. Other problems include missing priority settings for tasks or it doesn't sync with HTC's native tasks or calendar app.
Actually I found, that one can only clear data of single process. I don't know its exact english name, because on my system is displayed in polish ("Pamięć kalendarza"), but it should be sth, like "calendar memory".
After clearing its data and opening calendar app, the list of available calendars was empty, but after a while (and clicking refresh, and clicking refresh in Tasks app) the list populated with calendars from google account and with those internal from the phone. And items from the google tasks calendar weren't duplicated any more. At least until they are edited again in Tasks app.
BTW, has anything changed in this topic? Is there any solution for this problem?

[Q] How to disable sync contacts to gmail?

In previous android phones I could easily disable contacts sync to Gmail, leaving them only on phone.
But now in Nexus 5 I don't see such option to remove check in "contacts" check box.
Everything syncs by default.
Maybe it's now hidden somewhere else?
Or google did remove this option?

It's there - stock 4.4 rom. Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync > Manage Accounts - and find your gmail account, tap it and sub-menu open, you can uncheck contacts, photo, drive, music, etc. (same is my older HTC running Gingerbread)

Thank You for your tip
Oddly I didn't find option to turn it off there, but I did find it here in Nexus 5:
Settings -> Storage -> Apps -> Google Contacts Sync disable this application to prevent synching People with Google Contacts.
Problem solved

[Q] Contacts customized list not working

Anyone else having an issue where customized lists don't work in the Contacts app?
I only want to display one group from my Google contacts. It worked fine on my Nexus 5. Customized list option is found in the Contacts app here: 'More' > 'Settings' > 'Contacts to display' > 'Customized list'
I emailed Samsung but their reply was worthless.
I'm having the same problem
My customized list isn't working, too. It displays everything, not just what I want
Maybe the upcoming Android 5.1 update for S6 may solve this...
