google calander sync won't work fully, why? - General Questions and Answers

I've mentioned this atvthe end of a previous post elsewhere on these forums, I'm repostibg to be more specific.
How do I get google to sync my calander (completely) to sgs2??.
It's a problem I've had for about a week; google won't sync my entire calander to droid. I've read a lot and it seems I'm not alone in this; yet I've tried all the work arounds, and still nothing.
Any advice?
Also, if I factory reset my device, will I have to root my sgs2 again? (I had done this prior to rooting and still didn't help google calander sync afterwards, it would only sync 1 month's worth of prior events).
Thanks

Syncing Google calendars

So, I have a galaxy Nexus and my girlfriend has a stratosphere, i am able to get her calendar synced to my phone, but not get mine on hers. We can get the calendar onto her google calendar via the browser, but will not sync to her stock calendar app. Any ideas?

Sync to Google calendar on Litening Rom v2.3 failure
Hi,
I'm am currently experiencing a similar issue. I recently rooted a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i91000) with an original kernal (XWKK2) and flashed the Litening Rom v2.3 onto the device. Everything else works fine but the syncing with google calendar. I noticed in the changelog that v2.2 had added the google calendar but I'm unsure whether the syncing aspect was added. I was originally intending to post to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
but because I am a new member I am unable to. I'm wondering if other people are experiencing this issue?
The error message was very vague. I will include it on a follow up post. I am hoping to bump this post as I haven't been able to find a solution yet.
Many thanks for the help,
Pat
Edited text: I'm hoping to get a response first just so I know whether to install ADB - i.e. whether this is already a known issue or not.
I had this problem and solved the syncing last night. On your mobile device go into settings, applications, manage, all, then find calendar storage and clear data. Ok that and reboot. It will then resync with your online calendar.
See vmiller's post in following link.

Calendar was syncing with my kf but not my Droid X. Did this on my Droid x and it syncs fine now.
Thanks so much!
I'll try this soon.
Looks like this will solve the issue.
I'll thanks the post when I can - did more then 8 today
Cheers,
Pat
Oh, and only need to do that once.
It solved the problem of new events created online or on kf not showing up on my Droid and it solved the problem of new events created on Droid not appearing online and on my kf.
IMHO , when i log in my google account , the calendar start sync
Hi guys,
I've tried it on the phone and it seems to work after the restart. However, if you restart the phone again (for any reason), the sync issues reoccur. I've found that if I clear the data, restart the phone and re-sync it works but it fails to sync again once the phone is restarted. I'll stick with the workaround for the moment but I hope a fix comes about.
Cheers,
Pat

Calendar

A search has not fully answered my question. After having to factory reset today, I noticed my calendar (I input from the phone itself) did not sync with google calendar and back things up. I lost prior three weeks and next two weeks of appts. After looking through settings of the calendar app and the phone itself and messing with it, it still doesn't sync. Is there something missing? I noticed some others in the search had similar problems, but couldn't tell if they were the same as mine or not. Thanks!
stupid question but under your Gmail account you have calendar set to sync right? What happens when you tap the sync icon, does it sync or error out?

Yes the calendar is set to sync, when I sync it says it does. But again, if I check google calendar elsewhere, it hasn't changed.
Make sure you have your google calendar selected when adding events. The phone has its own calendar as well as all your google candidates that you have permission to write with. Perhaps you were writing to the phone's calendar instead of your google one?

How to stop the Tf700 from syncing all my apps

Just got my infinity and set it up and it's downloading all the apps I have on my phone, how do I stop it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It asked you if you wanted to sync and you pressed yes. Just start over. I don't have it in front of me but go to system,security and look for factory reset.
I thought it meant sync calendar and stuff. What do you mean start over?

In the setting.
I looked I settings, I can't find it, that's why I posted here

If im not mistaken Go to setting then privacy then hit factory reset.

It's there just keep looking. Good luck. Enjoy the infinity.
Wait why do I have to factory reset? I just want stop syncing with apps, I still want to sync with calendar and mail
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
He meant to go for a factory reset and deselect the option for syncing from your Google account presented during install. Your mail and contacts are ALWAYS synced for the first account you enter on an Android device (you can disable the sync afterwards, but it will still have synced at least once) -- and you can't delete that account even if you add (an)other account(s) afterwards)
If you're happy with the results so far, there'd be no urgent need to factory reset at all and I'd just disable the account syncing from Settings >> Backup & Reset instead.

It will start from scratch. It only takes couple of minutes. It better if you start over and leave no traces of the apps you didn't want or you can delete them one by one. It's just easier. You can still keep the calendar and gmail syncing.

This is a different setting. Your Google accounts sync settings can be found under Account & Sync, and have nothing to do with the app restore done by Backup & Restore. You can freely disable one or the other, or both, if so desired. As I said, you do not have to factory reset if you're happy worth the apps restored thus far. It's the fastest way to get rid of apps you'd rather not have installed on your tablet, though.

If I delete the apps one by one will they redownload with sync still on?

So the backup and restore syncs the apps, and the account sync syncs calendar and stuff?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Whenever I go through the setup of android (whether due to new ROM or new device), I always skip the account stuff until after I have a running system. Then I turn off sync under the Accounts and then finally add my account. It adds a bit more flexibility as to what to sync. For your case, under the Accounts category, you have your list of accounts. Click on the account entry (and not the circular arrows) and you will see a list of all the data types that are available to sync. I don't really see any individual settings for applications, but I do see "Calendar" and "Contacts". Maybe you should try disabling all the items that you don't want and see if it stops the issue.
Otherwise, you can do like was already suggested before and factory reset then do as I mentioned to get control of what you want to sync before everything gets transferred.

Exchange Calendar sync

Hi All
I have my note 10.1 for a week and i am very happy except for one annoying problem.
I use it for work with exchange sync. I noticed that any event i create in Splanner is not synced with exchange server. However from the server to device everything works. I can send and receive emails without a problem.
I have a note 5.3 as well and it works perfect.
Anyone has any experience or ideas?

One of my accounts thru the stock email is an exchange and the calender syncs properly both ways(outlook to tab and tab to outlook).
Make sure when you enter an item in the planner/cal on the tablet the first box on top of the new appt item is a list of the accts or a Dropdown box. Make sure you are choosing the one that is tied to your exchange account so it syncs properly.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much.
I tried again step by step creating an event both on my note 5.3 and 10.1
10.1 still did not add it to exchange server.

Now that i am thinking about it I did have to manually go into the system settings and go under sync to all of the accounts to get it to initially to work. System settings. Than also under the calendar settings. Sync.
Try that
I tried everything i could.
I even flashed latest stock rom i coukd find still the same.
My big puzzle is my gt-n7000 works perfectly with exactly thesame setup, same server.
Disappointment.

I am having exactly the same problem. Calendar items don't sync to the Exchange server. Also I see that not all Exchange items sync to the device. For example, on Wednesday I had 3 items in Exchange for the day but only one sync'ed to the device. Same behavior on my G Note phone, but my razr works just fine.
Check in OWA to make sure your IT department hasn't set a device limit on the number of devices you can have syncing to Exchange .

Not the problem as I can sync using Touchdown.
Still no luck.
I have tried using my old tab 7 and it works without an issue.
I will still check for the number of devices that can sync with my IT department but I don't think it will be the issue.

I had issues as well with S Planner, so I just changed it to the JB Calendar using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar&hl=en
no more problems!
I tried the JB calendar
Unfortunately itshows the same problem as sPlanner
I finally installed touchdown which worked immediately.
I don't like that but no other option
it is a huge shame that I am back to the problems I was having with Dell Streak years ago.
I hope there will be a solution in the coming days.
Thanks everyone.

I got it to work. I deleted the account and waited and then readded, but this time I set it to sync 1 day of email. Now I am getting all of my calendar items.

Great,
When you create a calendar item on your note does it add it to your exchange account?
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium
Yes, I was able to create an item in S-Planner and about 15 seconds or less later it appeared in Outlook on my PC.
Just tried it, still no joy.
Thank you very much.

I am having this same problem. events created in outlook show up fine in s-planner but events created in s-planner do not show up in outlook. I didn't try deleting my account as noted above but I did go in and change the email setting to (1) day and it didn't help.
try deleting
I had tried just changing the email to 1 day on an account that didn't work and it didn't fix the problem. Only deleting the old account and creating a new one with 1 day sync for email got it to work.
Hi All,
I upgraded to xxali1 German Rom.
It seems to have solved the issue.
My exchange calendar is working properly.
You might want to give it a try.

email app not syncing automatically

The email app has recently stopped working on my Z3.
I can manually refresh the app to get emails, but for some reason it wont autosync.
Is anybody else having this issue? And know of any fixes? Thanks
Had the same issue after upgrading FW through Flash Tool. Unfortunately I didn't find the solution, so I did a factory reset.
I hope you find a solution my friend.

After playing around with the settings, I changed the sync times to every half an hour?
I am now at least getting now sync notifications, which is a good sign.
However, it's only worked for one account so far
The updated Gmail app supports using other accounts, I use it to sync my Outlook and Yahoo, you could try that. I think they will slowly depreciate the E-Mail app just like the Android Browser.
