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

Click to collapse
Goto Settings -> Accounts & sync
Select the Google account
un-tick Sync contacts and Sync Calendar
That works after you setup the account but there does not seem to be a way to disable the initial sync of calendar and contacts and once I disable syncing of those items it does not get rid of any that it has downloaded.
Any other thoughts on how to disable syncing of google calendar and contacts from the start?

reset yoyr phone to factory specs. then restart your phone. when the htc setup wizard starts skip over everything. once the home screen loads go to settings, sync. now uncheck calander and contacts. now click on add google account, enter in your google information. calander syncing and contact syncing now should not occur (make sure they are still unchecked though)
Hi,
In my Desire S,
------------------Ignore this part - solved
under Manage Accounts, there is google and a few others.
I want to remove some of those others like News, Weather and Stocks.
How to do that ?
-----------------
need an answer for the part below.
Secondly there are some processes which i can see running on process monitor but do not show on the app drawer. they are probably related to some telco apps which i do not need and would like to uninstall.
Would this require rooting ? Any other way to uninstall those unnecessary apps ?
thanks
thanks
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.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
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.
Hi,
I know you can sync your google calander to the HTC calander, however even tho i have the google account signed in and set up (I also know it works cause my contacts sync) i cant get the calander to, and when i go into accounts & sync, manual tell it to sync, it comes up syncing but nothing appears in my calander??
I also herd that in the drop down menu in calander you have pc sync, calander and then you should have option for google calander but i dont.
Have i done something wrong or need to tell the phone to do something??
Cheers
Can anyone help?
Download business calendar from market then uninstall it. It should work.
Or factory reset.
Those 2 methods work for me. Hope can help u.
Send from my awesome HTC Sensation + XDA Premium app.
Might be a dumb question - but have you activated Google calendar to be shown??
Check in the settings of Calendar which ones are shown and which ones not...
- mwie -
Yeah i have checked and its not an option in the drop down list. I only have pc sync
But when i go to sync and force it to sync still nothing.
i dont want to factory reset, thats too much hassel, i try the bussiness download.
Downloading the bussiness one actually worked, i now got the option to tick untick the google one in HTC. Im just not sure if i like the business one better than the HTC one now.
Thanks anyways im going to run both and see which one i like.
I cannot find business calendar on the market place?
Any ideas?

Hi all,
Just bought a Tab S (T800), rooted and flashed CM-11.
After some speed bumps, I got Gapps package (pa-gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20141121-signed.zip) flashed as well.
All seems to be working, except for Calendar.
Regardless of whether I use the stock Google calendar app, or a third party calendar, I continually get the same message: "No calendars selected to syncronize".
And although in either app, I can go to the list of calendars to select, both lists are empty. Yet, on my phone, and on my desktop machine, I can see and access all of my calendars (I have about 8 different calendars set up in Google, each for different types of events).
I tried disabling the calendar from Settings/Apps/All/Calendar, clearing data, and then re-enabling, but that hasn't improved the situation either.
Also, going into Settings/Account/Google/<my account>, I can see all the options for Sync books, Sync play music, Sync newsstand, and so on, but there is no Sync calendar.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get my calendar apps to see the calendars I have set up in my Google account?
Thanks in advance!
Some of my newer contacts are not synching with either my Google Contacts or my Outlook.com contacts. I'm on a Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.
I use Outlok.com for my primary repository for contacts and calendars, however I use GSyncit add-on for MS Outlook (desktop) to sync my desktop Outlook contacts and calendars to Google. This way I can use Outlook.com or Google Calendar / GMail to access/share my calendar and access contacts depending on the situation.
Everything is working fine on the desktop end so that is irrelevant to this problem (so probably shouldn't even have wrote the above paragraph - but just in case.)
I see there is a new Google Contacts app on the phone and on the web. I noticed this when I clicked on the People app and it said the app was missing. When I go to the web version of Google Contacts via my Google account, there are no contacts there! All my contacts are still in Gmail though of course.
I see that when I attempt to edit an older contact on the phone, it first prompts me with which Google account I want to sync with. I don't need to sync my phone contacts directly with Google, I just want to sync with Outlook.com -> Outlook -> Google (via GSyncit) but I suppose it wouldn't cause a problem if I just had the phone sync to both accounts (probably will then need to disable GSyncit contact sync between Outlook desktop and Google).
What is weird is that it is like Google made the mistake of launching this new contacts app, but there's no notice or migration instructions on the changes with the new app. I just happend to discover something was "unhooked" by trying to edit a contact! I just discovered the new Contacts app on the web by Googling, Google Contacts. I'm technically saavy and somewhat of an Android Wonk, and am surprised this is all a surprise!
Do I have to go try to edit every single contact on the mobile Contacts app now to select which Google account it syncs with? I HOPE NOT!
At the risk of appearing dumb I'm leaving my original post for background. It appears this is (not surprisingly) all a Microsoft issue. When I went into the Outlook.com app on my phone, when you click on the Contacts and Calendars Sync setting, nothing happens! Come to find out this app is no longer on the play store. It appears to have been replaced earlier this year by the Microsoft Outlook Preview. Installed that app, and it doesn't and an account type to the phone! So it appears, unlike the Outlook.com app, it won't sync calendars and contacts with the native Android calendar and contacts app. It's as if Microsoft is trying to make you use their new app instead of the stock Android apps that just sync with the Outlook.com account? Please say this isn't so!

Microsoft confirmed.

Title: How To Sync Contacts & Calendars with Native Android Phone Apps?

Hi,
Unfortunately , by design, it is not yet possible to sync your Android phone contacts to your Outlook.com account.
Note: At the moment, you can only sync Outlook.com contacts to your android phone.
Please provide your suggestions/opinion as a feedback to the development team. To do this, click on the gear icon on the top right corner of Outlook.com homepage and select 'feedback' from the dropdown menu.
Hope this information is helpful.

However, this isn't that big of a deal as I come to find out, even though there is no longer an Outlook.com account type on the phone any more, you can use the Exchange account type and use server address: s.outlook.com and then you can sync everything. Why the MS Tech didn't point this out it baffling.
(big middle finger for you Microsoft)
