I have 4.0.3 installed on my Nexus S (GT-9020), and have been loving it - best OS I have used on any phone. So sleek and well designed, it's a real shame most users will never see it's full glory once Samsung, HTC et al will put their own skin over it.
Anyway, yesterday (29th Feb) all my calendar appointments disappeared from my phone and now it is only showing new ones added since yesterday.
None of my settings have changed, I still have my work exchange account and my gmail account syncing and the mail from both are fine. All the calendars are still selected to be shown. When I go online I can still see my appointments in Google Calendar so I know they haven't been deleted and in Outlook my exchange appointments are also still there.
I don't know what has happened. At first I thought it was just the widget but the full app doesn't show them either.
Has anyone seen this? Does anyone know how to sort it?
Cheers.

Try turning sync off for calendar , restart, then turn it back on?
Have you tried clearing data from the calendar app? Go into Settings | Apps | All | look for calendar and clear data.
Are you using a custom ROM? Is this for all appointments (google and exchange)?
I had this problem once for the exchange appointments. I resolved it by removing the exchange account, and adding it back again with all settings left at default.
Maybe a problem with the leap year? But then others should also having problems.
I would also remove the calendar, reboot, delete data and re-add the calendar.
Thanks Oogway13.
I tried turning off and on sync with no joy, but deleting the app data under the app "Calendar Storage" did the trick. Everything went (as expected) then opened the calendar app (can't remember if I selected refresh or not) and all my appointments slowly came back. Weird.
I didn't need to reboot or remove-add the calendar app (which I think you can only disable, not remove, on ICS anyway) so that's good.
Just running stock Nexus S ICS ROM (downloaded from this forum) and use stock calendar app for both google calendar and exchange calendar. All had gone missing though!
Glad it's back.
Excellent!! good to know it's working now

I'm having an issue with the built in facebook support, I can sign in to flickr and twitter, but when I try to sign in to my facebook so I can link with contacts, it says that the service is currently unavailable....something I'm missing? I'm running fresh rom 0.7 with the patches.
I am having the same problem. Are you using the Hero or Eris? I have an Eris and am having this problem.
I'm seeing this post topic on all the boards right now. It must be down.
It must have something to do with the new privacy settings that Facebook just implemented.

i wonder if maybe you need to log in to facebook.com from your phone and accept the privacy policy?
Thats a no go. I just logged in to Facebook with the Android app and I still can't login through the Social network option.
Facebooks no privacy settings reset all of your privacy and app options. We may have to wait for an update for it to work properly, but mine doesn't sign in either, not even Bloo or Fbook.
not sure but....
after many...many....many retries it finally connected, that was weird, I just hope that I never have to go through that again (no more wipes for me unless absolutely neccesary)
Anyway, weird glitch, I could log in with the Facebook for Android app though, so not sure what would have caused that.

I'm pretty sure all that app does is interact with their website as opposed to using the API. Looks like the problems were with the API.
www.facebook.com is down as of right now. I tried from work internet and my phone 3g.
I imagine they are having some problems.
Good thing I found this post, I didn't notice a problem until immediately after installing unofficial MoDaCo 1.2c and I've been flashing recovery images all day trying to fix it.
It is working for me now. I haven't done anything to either my phone or Facebook options sense yesterday. Wonder what it was? Oh well, as long as it is working.
Facebook sync appears broken
To give you a little background, I've had a rooted Hero for quite a while now. I have been running Fresh 1.1 since it was released. I have also had my Facebook linked so I have all of my contacts with pictures and info in my phonebook.
Well after a few other mods on my phone like taskbars, icons, etc. I decided to wipe and go back to a fresh install of Fresh 1.1 again. I linked my Facebook profile again and after a few hours everyone was showing back up in my contacts list with pictures and such.
Last night my phone started acting weird and alot of things were FC'ing, maybe 3 or 4 things, but I didn't look at what specifically. Later last night I realized all my facebook stuff was gone again from my contacts list. I thought that maybe it was because of one of the processes that FC'd so I restarted the phone but as of this morning still a phonebook full of blank heads.
Anyone else had this issue? I've tried logging out and logging back in and everything. Any help would be appreciated, the phonebook looks so ugly without everyones pictures.
It may be a coincidence, but facebook itself has some severe issues right now. Some people are of a mind that the "new" viewing heuristics are themselves broken. You now view based on your history and interactions with/of your friends. My age there is 100 so it they write (email) to me personally.
Facebook Error
I am unable to sign into Facebook from the app it from HTC senses Facebook. I have tried wiping everything and various ROMs but im having the sane problem. any help would be appreciated
Sync Facebook Calendar
I am having a problem getting my facebook calendar to sync. I am running a Damagecontrol 2.1 Rom when I 1st set the phone up I'll see my facebook calendar entries in my calendar and eventually they disappear and the option to disply the facebook calendar also disappears. Does anyone have any insight?
facebook/google birthdays
i have some contacts that i have entered birthdays for in my google address book, however they are also friends of mine on facebook. i noticed within the calendar widgets that it lists the birthdays for these contacts twice once for the google contacts calendar and one for the facebook calendar. Is there a way to fix this so for linked contacts it only lists the birthday on one calendar.

uncheck facebook in your calendars to show.
well i would like the birthdays of friends who i dont have on google to show up still, i just don't want duplicates and i dont want to go through all my google contacts and remove their birthdays.
Contacts facebook link
Is there a way to link all contacts with their appropriate facebook account automatically, i remember in 1.5 it would auto predict and suggest linking automatically for all the contacts, there is no option to do all contacts in 2.1...
anyone know of a way to go about doing that instead of painfully going one by one...
Has anybody else been having issues with the built in Facebook app on Nexus? Every time I try to retrieve notifications I get an error telling me it cannot retrieve.
Getting the same issue. Uninstalled using root explorer and tried reinstalling - no dice. The other version was from the Droid dump.
I wasn't ever able to get notifications working on my MT3G on the Facebook app.
Yes, I think it is some bug Google didn't quite work out before the release. I emailed them and got the standard response that they are aware of the problems...ie facebook...ie...polar clock dynamic color...and is working on it! Let's see how long they take to get it fixed!
I am having exactly the same problem with the facebook app on my hero. Its not a phone specific problem here, but either a facebook issue or an issue with the app itself.
It worked fine on my MT3G, just not so great on the N1 hopefully a patch rolls out soon
works on my N1
Facebook- Synced Contacts Name Issue
After syncing Facebook contacts with phone contacts, it changes the name of the contact to whatever it is in Facebook and 'overrules' whatever other name you have in phone.
I.e.- if you have your dad saved as 'Dad' in your phone and sync with his Facebook contact, it will overrule the name 'Dad' in your phone and display it as his full name a la his Facebook name.
This is ANNOYING as who searches parents by full name?? and others of course.....
Any help??
I don't like this either... there needs to be an option in the settings to make Gmail contacts the dominant/controlling information.
Eager for a solution to this.

Go into your contact list. Hit menu, then accounts. Add an account, select Facebook.
Don't think it's a FB Client for N1/Android. I'm having issues with checking notifications directly on the facebook mobile client (which I prefer). This isn't the first time that FB have made changes to the interface without notifications and somethings things are broke for awhile.
My notifications were working again, last night, both the FB Mobile and FB for Android for a very short time and are now broken again.
It's not your phone nor the client. it's the FB developers.
running android on my touch pro (winmo device), facebook app worked fine. facebook status update, when checked online thru pc, says 'status updated with facebook for android). widget works fine too, scrolls right through everyone's status
Yeah, getting the same errors, too.
Facebook Pics + Sync with contacts?
Is the Facebook app that is installed supposed to take a facebook profile and sync and apply the picture with a contact card on the phone? I notice that it adds a facebook section when editing a contact and you could choose to use the facebook picture, however, it doesn't sync the picture to the contact. I check google.com/contacts to verify and there is either 1) no picture, or 2) an old picture that can be updated. I know it mentioned facebook syncing in the app for pictures, status, and contact info, however, the picture doesn't seem to get applied to the contact.
So, did some poking around and found the SyncMyPics. Is this app redundant to what is featured in the facebook app? Or, is it necessary to achieve what I would like?
Thanks!
I'm not sure why you are having that issue. Mine worked perfectly. The only issue I had was where I got dupes because names were incorrectly spelled.
I know that with the Hero ROM on my G1, not all of my contacts would sync pics from Facebook. It probably has to do with the level of security those users have. I'd say only a third of my contacts' pics from FB would sync. This could be the same issue? Are only some of your contact pics syncing?
Well...
My previous phone was a Touch Pro and using custom ROMsm I would use the facebook feature a lot where it would update the FB picture to the phone contact, then, it would get synced to Google using MS Exchange.
I just noticed a few friends changing their pictures. Did a force sync under accts and sync and noticed the contect picture didn't get changed... Sp, I'm wondering what is going on here?
Basically, shouldn't the FB app be updating the contact icons when there is a change.. then syncing them with google contacts?
Ok, so I'm having a sync problem. I know it has nothing to do with the rom I'm using but after quite a bit of searching I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. (must not be using the right terms)
After a clean flash of Saga 1.0.1 last night I restored my contacts from a backup I made within people. This morning when I got up I had some duplicates & even triples of contacts but not all, kinda weird. I've had this happen in WM on my Tilt2 when I sync'd on multiple pc's but that's not the case here and when it happened then it would be all contacts not random ones. Another odd thing that happened is a couple of received mms's got sent back to the sender. I think it must have something to do with Gmail and/or Htcsense.com
Well when I got to work I sync'd with my pc then cleaned up everything in outlook & wiped contact storage on the phone thinking that I would just resync with the pc and all would be good. Not! When I tried to sync with HTC Sync it will not load the contacts to my phone and Gmail would not add them back either.
Also, being the moron I am, I had also deleted the backup on the sdcard because there were several linked contacts and I wanted to start from a clean slate. The only way I could find to sync back up with the pc was to do a FDR and select manual syncing in the setup. Is there a better way of going about this?
The pc is running 32bit win7 & I'm using outlook 07. Any help will be much appreciated!!

okay this seems REALLY confusing. to clear some things up, what all does your phone sync to (htc, google?, outlook?), and where are your contacts stored that's kinda like your home base for contacts from which everything is synced? Outlook, or google?
also, your google account on your phone, is it the android google account? or do you have a separate exchange server set up?
and yeah, if you try a FDR, let me know what happens with this. that might just be a good way to clean up all the residual stuff...

When I initially got the phone I used HTC Sync to pull office 07 contacts from my work pc. Since then I've been using a vcard backup on my sdcard. I also had google setup to sync with as it also restores apps, wallpaper, etc after flashing. I thought that google would ignore existing contacts, it did for some and not others.
The google account is the gmail account I setup when I got the phone.
The FDR did work and everything is fine now but I want to be sure it doesn't happen again the next time I flash a rom.
Thanks for your help!

Glad I could try to lol. And maybe next time just pet Google do it so you don't introduce extra copies of contacts to your phone
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Where does google store the info at? When I log into my gmail account on my pc there are no contacts stored. If I'm going to let google be my "home base" I'd like to be able to edit it. At the same time how safe is the data? I have birthdays, anniversaries, addresses and so on in my contacts.
This is my first android phone. It's funny that I had no problem rooting, flashing, adding themes or side loading but the **** that's supposed to be simple is what's f'ing me up.
Hi All
Ive had my Sendsation around a month now. All seems to be well generally, but today I noticed that some events in my Android Calendar are not not showing up, but in Google Calendar on my PC, they are!
It's made me a bit concerned that there may be other errors.
I want to clear the data completely from my Sensation and resync the calendar from Google Calendar - could anyone give me a tip on how to do this?
Thanks
Steve

Problem I am having is shared calendars not showing on my phone but do on pc????????
ya you just go into setting/applications/manage applications, select calendar and clear data, force stop then probably wanna reboot. that would do it for you.
Hi there, the other day i decided to (after a fair bit of reading) root my Wildfire that i have had for the last year with no problems. I have decided to go with the DK_Custom_Froyo v 4.6.2.
After doing so i set about putting some programs back on and getting rid of some of the standard bloatware, such as you tube, adobe reader, pico, rss reader etc.
I have found that my calendar cannot/will not sync with my googlemail account. I have data linked with navigation and google maps, where my starred places can be synced.
I am trying to look into the source of the problem but seen as its taken me over a year to have the bottle to root my phone im not that technically gifted when it comes to phones. (i'll quite happily strip down a car and rebuild it) A couple of the symptoms are:
1. When i add a event there is no calendar to add to then when i click save, it opens a box stating that its 'loading calendars' but would do that all day if i left it.
2. When i goto settings>accounts and sync>google, and try to manually sync the sync com.andriod.calendar, i get a message stating that 'sync is currently experiencing. It will be back shortly'
Everything else syncs such as the weather and facebook.
I like the calendar as i've got used to using it and the layout but obviously i'd rather have a working calendar where i can sync all my appointments and birthdays.
Is the problem with the custom rom?
Any Help or advise on this problem is greatly appreciated.
anyone? Still having problems
