[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 calendar not syncing to Google/other devices - General Questions and Answers

Edit: I posted this after an hour of trying to fix it myself, and of course I solved the problem five minutes after posting it. Problem was that on the phone the entries were by default being made under a local calendar and not my Google account.
I'm having sort of a weird problem with calendar syncing. I use two android devices - my phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300 international version purchased overseas), and my tablet which is an Asus Transformer Prime (TF201), and Google Calendars. Events that I create on my phone do not upload to Google Calendars or to my tablet. However, events created on Google or on the tablet will sync to the phone - it's only the phone-created events that won't sync.
Before making this thread I googled around and didn't find much. I followed every step in http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=2819319 , but there was no effect. I've tested the phone on the cellular signal and on wifi, and I'm using the stock calendar.
The tablet has no problems, but both it and my phone are rooted and running stock 4.1.1. The only thing I can think of that could be causing this is the fact that I manually updated the phone to 4.1.1 with odin, and shows as being modified under Device Status.
Anyone have any ideas that I haven't tried yet?

Using Note 3, can't seem to find the "default" setting (OS 4.3) to get my S calendar to sync with google calendar.

sync problem with outlook

I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.

[Q] Google Drive Sync problem?

Hi
I'm using a ICS nightly build for my Milestone 2 and since last upgrade I'm having problems with Drive. Specifically, I get a ! mark on the notification bar stating "google docs synchronization error" and "runtime exception".
I've tried uninstalling, formatting cache, etc., but the problem persists. I know that the firmware seems to be guilty, but Drive appears to be fully functioning. Google gives me 2 or 3 results only with this problem so it's not very frequent.
Any ideas?

Same error but w/o ICS
I started having the exact same problem yesterday, but I'm not running ICS on anything yet. I have an un-rooted EVO 4g and an un-rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 and both are giving me the exact same error!
So?
So, it's safe to assume that the problem is related to Google and not my new firmware? Is ot just a coincidence?
I'm running an ICS rom on my phone. Just tested Google Drive and seems to be working for me right now. Was able to open some docs.
Mine works too, and everything seems to be synching ok, but I get the message no matter what..
sync is working for me as well

This error just popped up for me as well this morning.
I'm running stock, un-rooted ICS on a Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not sure how it could be a firmware problem.
**EDIT**: if I recall correctly, the only unusual change I made this morning was signing up for the Hello Fax Service. Is anyone else having the problem using Hello Fax?

I have been getting the same errors and am also using HelloFax.
I'm having the same issue, and I also recently explored the HelloFax feature on the Drive web site.

Drive Sync Issue
I am also having this issue, brand new Galaxy Nexus stock ICS. It seems to be isolated to my personal account. My Apps account works fine.
Just removed HelloFax from my Dashboard and from Chrome. We'll see. Anyone figure out an answer?
No problem here
I'm running ICS for Viperboy ICS Beta 3.1 on HTC EVO 3D with Hboot 1.4......I'm having no issues with google drive.....
No issue with google drive.
Generaly working normaly.
I'm just glad to find out I'm not alone. I too use hello FAX. But I don't have it installed on my galaxy nexus. I'm starting to think it may have to do with a hardware version or something. My problem didn't start showing up until I got an insurance replacement unit sent to me yesterday. I've read in other development threads that there are 2 known hardware versions of the gnex. Check out the screen shot. The error shows up in the notification bar...

I think it is account related rather than hardware revision. I tried both my Apps for Education account AND a newer personal Google account without issue. It is only my original personal Google account which is causing issues.
Resolved
I thought re-adding my account fixed it but I'm still getting it.
I went back to Google Drive on the web and deleted the HelloFax folder, and that made the sync error go away. I haven't tested to see if it has problems with folders in general or just that specific one.

[Q] Calendar notifications stopped working after connecting talbet to Google Account

Recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 which runs on 4.4.2.
As soon as I connected it to my Google Calendar account the notifications on my Nexus 5 stopped working.
All calendar events appear, with right reminders etc but notifications only go off on the Tab.
So far I tried to see if it is the settings of Google Calendar (which seems to be not) or some syncing issue (which is not).
On phone I have aCalendar while on the tablet I use the S Planner.
Does anyone know what should I look for? ie if it is some service on the phone or something I am missing?

Gmail Sync Issues with Android 7 - Galaxy S7 and S8

About a month ago, I upgraded my S7 to Android 7.0. Today, I switched to an S8, also with 7.0
Ever since the upgrade to 7.0, I've been having the same problem with both phones - GMail is taking an excessively long time to sync changes.
If I receive a new email on my PC and then delete it, it still appears on my phone. If I delete something on my phone, it still shows up new and unread on the desktop. Sometimes, these changes don't sync for nearly an hour.
Anyone else experiencing a similar issue since upgrading to 7.0?
I and a couple others have got gmail to synch properly by deleting data for the app. Hopefully that will work for you.
Yes same problem. Also cleared data and cache. It worked for about a day then started the same thing again. Very frustrating.
