The HTC calendar is nice enough, but I can't get it to notify for appointments and it keeps syncing to some mysterious data source with incorrect information (such as birthdays), even though I only have google sync checked. Anyone able to install the default Google Calendar from the Gapps package as an apk and get it to work?
Anyone have this issue with incorrect data somehow getting synced to the calendar? Today it thinks it's my Step-Father's birthday which is earlier in the year and I have no idea where it got the date (it's right on google and in my contacts and I don't have any social crap like facebook installed).
EDIT: cleared calendar storage and now it's gone.

Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.
Cheers

there's a program called activegcsync, it is pretty good
woah way to bump and old thread.
hi, i developed a small tool to synchronize the google calendar with pocket outlook. is a beta but if you want to give it a glance. In future also sync contacts.
http://gsync.wordpress.com
Great app, works quite well.
One question though, I can't seem to be able to get the "Where" field to come across. Is this something missing in the app?
Also it could be cool to put a auto update every time we do a change on the calendar ....
or more simply every 15 minutes....
thx
Try www.nuevasync.com
It works fantastic with Google Calendar!!! PLUS there is no extra programs to install because it uses ActiveSync which is built in to WM6
Also, it sync contacts from Google Contacts or Plaxo... I honestly prefer Plaxo because it doesn't have the annoying "Suggested Contacts" and it keeps the format as last name first, but I would still recommend Google Contacts because there have been problems with Plaxo syncing due to "excessive usage" (according to Plaxo).
Hope it helps everyone
Activegcsync for multiple Google Calendar sync (WM5/WM6/WM6.5)
Try Activegcsync by Gil Milow. Unlike other software I have tried (eg. GMobileSync), it works very well for multiple calendars (and contacts). It is available free although I'm sure the developer would appreciate a donation for his efforts. It is software like this that at least keeps our Windows Mobile phones (WM5/WM6/WM6.5) functional.
my wife got a new d2g and the contacts wont sync to Google. this is the second phone she got in less than a week do to other problems, and the phone before this would not sync either. and it is just the contacts, the calender and the gmail sync fine. under the google account on the phone all the options are checked to sync and it shows the arrows that its trying to sync but when i look online there are no contacts. any ideas?
I'm pretty sure that it's considered normal behaviour. If the contacts weren't added manually after setting up a Google account on the phone, they won't sync, or at least that's what I have here.
My dx sync just fine and I set it up the same way. Not sure what the deal is.

Ok gonna take a wild guess here and say that you had the carrier transfer contacts from the old phone to the D2G and that would explian why they do not sync.
Look at the contacts (might have to go into edit mode) and see what "PROFILE" it says for each contact.
My guess is it says Phone Only.
What you need to do (and I'm going off memory since I am not running stock myself)
Edit each contact and in the menu there should be something that says NEW contact that will take the info from the one you are editing but ask you which account to make the new contact for. Select your GMail acct when asked and save it.
Then fine the gmail version of the contact you just made and select join or link and link it to the Phone only version.
This will give you one contact that has two profiles, phone only and Gmail.
What I suggest for anyone moving to Android for the first time is to get all your contacts into GMail (using above method) Import all your facebook contacts as well (You can do that through Yahoo Mail wizard and exporting to CSV then i8mporting into Gmail) and once your GMail has a complete and accurate contact list wipe the data on the phone and sync with Gmail to get all your contacts back. Be sure to make a backup of all your contacts on GMail once you are done to guard against future corruption issues and to be safe.
Cloud Contacts is not one of the best features of the phone but once you have integrated all your current contacts into GMail and joined them and Facebook into a proper list it is not a problem anymore.
I have created a new contact person in Google Contacts on my PC (Win7, IE9) and added a birthday event to this person.
The event is not showing on Google Calendar (even with subscription for “Contacts' birthdays and events” under settings).
It is showing in Calendar on my ICS android (HTC One S) mobile device.
I deleted this new person from Google Contacts (on PC) and the problem now is that the birthday event remains in android calendar (still not shown in PC-Google Calendar) and I can't delete it.

I had a lot of problems with the HTC calendar finding and syncing to sources with bad information such as incorrect birthdays. I would suggest clearing all cache and data from the calendar, then opening the app and selecting only the data sources you want, breaking the links to any you don't. I can't describe the exact steps because it's not very clear to the user and I don't have a Sense ROM right now (for reasons such as this exactly).
Solution
It seems that I got a solution (not perfect one - because the data is out there somewhere not actually deleted.... but it works...):
I choose to display only the Google calendar diary (my user), not choosing the Contacts (perhaps its local one, although the event was created on Google acount...)
Oh well.....
I am trying to sync Google calendars on my tf700 with my calendars on my Nexus 4. I have made sure calendar sync is checked under account settings On both devices, but still no luck. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Which rom are you using on both?
I have had extensive problems with calendar sync with my SGS2 -- I know it's not the same device, but it is finicky. Check under the attached Google account if there are sync errors -- if there are, remove the attached Google account altogether, re-add it and sync the calendar anew. I know it's a pain the proverbial butt, but after days of fooling around on my SGS2 I got it working. (Luckily I had the 700 for my day-to-day calendar needs.)
That's a little vague....
Do you get any errors? Or does it simply not do anything? Or do you get a semi-sync?
what calendar app are you using? you should use the one from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar&feature=search_result not the preloaded one
also go to settings of the app (not system settings), tap your account and check if sync is enabled
I have my Google account syncing just fine on the phone, but when I go to Calendar app to view what my agenda shows for the day, nothing shows except the birthdays.
I have tried adding the account again but zmesssge says "Account already installed."
I've looked in the app to see what calendars get shown and all I see is the phones contacts.
How do I get my Google calendar appointments to show up and not just birthdays.
Thanks very much.
PS - I'm not having syncing problems like other users have posted, it's just that nothing shows up, only birthdays.
Are you using Google calendar app or default Huawei...?
I'm using Google Calendar but it doesn't show up as one of the calendars listed even though the account is installed on the phone.
I've always used my Google calendar as my default on my phone without installing any extra app as the entries normally just sync via Account settings.
I know I can download and install the actual Google Calendar app but would rather just have everything sync with the default installed calendar app.
