(Q) Calendar sync quadrupled events - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Is anyone else having this issue? I only use one calendar and for some reason all my events are multiplied by 4 and I just have a feeling it's going to get worse. Does anyone have a fix for this. Running fully stocked.

Google calendar?

Nope. Work.

Have the same thing going on with my work email, removing the account and readding it fixes it for a couple hours then it does it again. Also my contacts are multiplying.

Damn! Just looked at my contacts. Not good. It's almost like a mirror effect going on. I have a bad feeling it's just going to keep doubling until I have no room. I wonder if backup assistance is causing the problem?

I'm not using backup assistant, figured it was happening to me from a couple dirty flashes, but if you are running stock then that's not the case.

I had a similar problem on my Incredible because I have multiple Google accounts that have access to each other's calendars, so it would show all my events 2 and 3 times. Check your calendar settings and make sure it only shows one occurrence for each calendar name. Hope that helps.

I've been looking for a setting option like that for the last hour. Are you sure it exists on this phone? If so, I'd be grateful for your direction.
I deleted my corporate email and added it again. I'm no longer syncing contacts that's for sure.

There are 2 places to look...
First, go under settings -> Accounts and sync. Check each account to see if "Sync Calendar" is checked.
Second, at the top of the calendar app main screen, hit the "Calendars" button. This will give you a list of available calendars to display. Mine has:
My Calendar = checked
My Tasks = checked
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked) and US holidays (unchecked)
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked), [email protected] (UNchecked), and US holidays (unchecked)
Show birthday with an arrow to expand showing "Contacts' birthdays" which is checked.
I left my other gmail accounts off this phone since I check them enough from work.
The problem I ran into on my Inc was from having my badseed767 calendar checked on 3 different accounts. Once I unchecked it on the extra accounts, it only showed up once.
Hope this helps.

No, but I appreciate the attempt. I was hoping there really was a way to ignore "same name" events. I had found the calendars menu and made sure only one of each account was checked and it was still multiplying everything. Then again it might have been too late since the events already multiplied. So this is what I did.
Deleted the email account. Joined all my contacts that could be combined. Setup the corporate email again and only synced the calendar and email. Went into calendar as you suggested above and made sure that only one corporate email was checked, then synced. So far no duplicates.

Sounds positive. I'm curious, do you have the Google sync thing running on a pc that syncs outlook to Google? Also, can you give us so insight on the exchange server? Curious if those having issues are imapi or pop3 configured etc.

Well... I honestly don't know. I'm new to Samsung/TWiz phones for the most part and I'm still trying to find my way around through all the settings.
As for Google being synced to Outlook, no, not intentionally at least. The only syncing I've done with Google has been on my phones. Hell, if I didn't have a phone, I'd never even look at gmail.
If I was on my HTC phone, I'd be able to answer your question on the server. Is there a way for me to see that somewhere in the settings? Haven't found it yet. If not, I'll try setting my phone up on my wife's phone(my old Rezound). However, I love to know where I can find that if it's an option.
EDIT: I can't find your answer. It's a corporate email if that helps.

Well, my plan didn't work. Events doubled. This is starting to drive me crazy!

Issue with my phone

LOL there are quite a few things but this is mainly the biggest thing, it is getting to be annoying with this phone in particular
Is the fact I keep having to sign into my gmail...like every hour.
I have 3 main gmail accounts
One for pleasure/personal use
One for work
One for school
(I am considering switching back to WP7 & hotmail...but that is another story)
It seems every hour, I'm having to resign into Gmail. And it's not a huge deal but it is a bit annoying seeing the little notification sign that is saying that you need to sign into [email protected]
Furthermore, my Gmail is not pushing to my phone whatsoever so I am not getting any emails without having to sync it manually...even though it is said to get it whenever available.
Idk what to do or what exactly the issue is but it is truly annoying. Any suggestions would be nice?
:O wrong place for this sweety. But I have 5 gmail accounts setup and 2 personal and working fine. Which rom are you using stock? do you have them all setup under account and sync? I remember when I got MT4G and checked 2 acc's from stock rom and worked fine.
lol well where should i post this at then?
and ummm, i am actually using the phone the same exact way out of the box
and everything is fine under accounts & sync...just none of them sync or hardly
ever
You are using GMail App and not EMail App right? Ok lets see you have Background Data and Auto Sync checked? Open GMail app and click Menu> More> Setting> Notification Setting> Email Notification checked? Also make sure you have Update Schedule with fixed time on Send & Receive in GMail setting.
Can u even get gmail over wifi?

Oh my mistake. Lol I didn't have my background data enabled after all haha.
But the sign in issue is annoying

I'm glad to know someone is having similar troubles.
It's all good. I'm probably just going to trade this for a windows phone anyway.

I have 4 gmail accounts sync'd on my phone and don't have to sign in on them and get things pushed to them just fine. I'm also on the stock rom...
Just a random thought here, but try deleting one of your email accounts & set it up using the regular mail app & not the gmail app. Just giver it a shot & see.
I have 1 thru the gmail app & 3 thru the regular mail app (live, hotmail & school) & they all work fine

Pics not showing up in widget

So i have this contact widget for one press dialing people, it works fine on my skyrocket, as well as on my old captivate.
my sister also got the same phone this week and i also installed it for her, but for some odd reason when i put up contacts most of them don't transfer the picture over. Dialing with it works fine but its annoying that their pictures don't show up.
I would think that maybe there's an issue with the address book contacts or how its set up but I'm not sure what's different from my phone since its the same model. some pictures are from Facebook sync and i made sure it was all synced up too.
Any theories or thoughts? I'm sure its possible there's an app problem but i have it working one one phone lol. Thanks!

Lol. That's funny, I think. Its also early and I'm on vicodin and it's not helping much.
Anywho, try clearing out the data for that app. Go to:
Settings
Applications
Manage applications
Select 'contact widget'
Clear data
Then try it all again. Just to make sure - all contacts are syncing and showing up, just none of the pictures, right?
Sent from my páhhōniē
Yes that's right, there doesn't seem to be anything funny with the address book, within the widget the contact well show and works properly but just no picture for the contact. I'll have her try that thanks!

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?

Thanks, yeah I unchecked every car account excpet my google calendar and it still doesn't sync. Will see if replacement devcie does the same.

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.
Cheers

[READ ASAP] Google Sync Disabled in settings upon addition of new features

I just went into my Google account settings in my phone to check if the new sync app data feature was implemented already and noticed that across all of my Google accounts I have linked to my phone most of my syncs were unchecked (including my Gmail sync and calender) just thought I would inform you guys in case some rely on the gmail notification for work related tasks or what not, since when I checked sync I had 11 missed gmail notifications.
I had same issue,I noticed my daily gmail hadn't come through today checked my accounts sync and all were unchecked, rechecked and all was well

Hm, I don't seem to have this problem.
I didn't have this issue either, strange.
Either way, I felt like it was worth everyone to check just in case
