Cant see all my calendars from google on my android

Im having issues with my calendar.
Im syncing with google (of course..) and I have there 4 calendars.
On my phone, however, I can see in ( calendar > settings > calendars) only three of them.
How can I activate the fourth one?
I also tried (and removed) Simple calendar widget and there I had the forth one listed (doesnt happen on the regular calendar screen) as "not active".
I found few threads around the forum related to my topic but none of them was helpful. even erasing data & FC to calendar from Settings > apps > manage apps > calendar..

[Q] facebook contacts

hello everyone i just want to ask a quick question, my sensation 4g which has s-off is rooted and has android revolution hd 3.6.4 flashed i have logged into facebook and it has synced all my contacts from facebook to my phonebook which i dont want, so what i wanted to know how can i remove all the facebook contacts without having to log out?

Go to people- > settings -> view. Select ONLY Facebook contacts.. Then go and delete them all in people - > options - > delete - > select all
Other method is to go to applications->manage applications->facebook->clear data..
But i think that, other method will erase your account.. I dont know exactly
I hope i helped
Cheers

Or, since you're on 3.6.4, go into contacts, tap menu/view and uncheck Facebook for HTC Sense. That should hide them.
Alternatively, clear Facebook data as above, log back in, and when you open contacts for the first time, tell it to only sync data how you want it to. Either all FB contacts, only the ones in your phone, or none.

Why are all of my Picasa folders/pics synced to my gallery? How do I kill them!?!

Yea, so I use G+ a lot, and I post bunches of pics, so my Picasa has hundreds of folders that are all labeled by date. On my Galaxy Tab 10.1 I could choose in my accounts to sync Picasa, and then they all flooded is. If I unselected syncing Picasa, they all went away. Great!
Well, on my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (4G), all of those folders are there regardless of the option. I have checked and unchecked multiple times, nothing. They all stay. I want them gone.
Any idea why these are there, why they won't leave, and/or how to force them out?
Thanks...

Add a file called .nomedia in the folder where the album arts are stored and the gallery will not show that folder's images.

Does the .nomedia file simply hide the unwanted files or does it keep the files from being written to the folder ?

The .nomedia will hide them. If you want to not sync them at all go to settings > accounts and sync > your gmail account >and remove the check mark from picasa web albums.

There is nothing to check ore uncheck from picasa web albums. The only 2 things (in settings > accounts and sync) that can be check. They are backrounddata and auto synchronisation. I had unchecked auto synchronisation but all picasa files was in galarie folder. Background data I need for other apps. But here -> settings > accounts and sync > your gmail account is no place for make check mark or uncheck.
That the reason I dont understand why my picasa web alben where automatically syncht.

You have to open the account to see the next level of menus. See attached.

It looks like your screen is being cut off.
Did you change your pixel density? I have mine set to 140.

Check auto sync in the previous screen and then try

No I dont change the density. I have an Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus P6200. Do you have an Galaxy Tab 7.7 with higher resolution?
The autosync in previus screen is unchecked. Only bachground data is checked.
Edit:
I see another difference. Under the Points Gmail sync, Calender sync, Picasa sync and so on is a line that say: Now type in order to synchronize (tippen um jetzt zu synchronisieren). But i never touched this for picasa before. I only touch it yeaterday long pressed to see if I can choose not synchronize but no long press do nothing only start to synchronize again.
Edit 2:
OK, I found it. On first side autosync must be checked and after this on the second side the check boxes appear.

Hi guys,
I put .nomedia file into the folder that I want to hide, but gallery still show picture & video. Do you have any ideas?

Clear cache and all other and stop the app in application menu. After that alle files are gone.

Contacts issue

My contacts are in such a mess! I have them synced from google as well as the odd few from Exchange.
Google stopped syncing my contacts so I deleted the data from contacts storage which fixed that but now they are all merged or not existing.
I have removed google account and exchange but there are still contacts showing. I think these have been created internally from whatsapp which is annoying. Is there a way to delete all of these in bulk?
Or any other solutions to fix this?

First write correctly the title, seriously how people will know what is it about...
Then you have to solutions:
1st: sync all accounts you have then go to contacts > contacts to show > custom > select the one you want.
2nd: (this is what i do usually)
export all contacts on the phone
Backup the export
Delete all google contacts, everything on phone etc
Import them back in google contacts (https://www.google.com/contacts/)
search for duplicate in google contacts
rename them correctly
do the same with Exchange
Sync
clean the mess
delete useless contacts (like the pizza you ordered 4 years ago)
set up groups (like "i never phone them but i keep them in memory", "work", "favorite"
and then do the first solution to select the categories you want to show
The first 4 points are optionnal and if you do them PLEASE take care and be sure you have a BACKUP if you mess up everything
This will get your contacts clean and they will merge with all the differents accounts (like exchange+google+google plus+whatsapp etc)

Thanks - that makes sense. The dialler still shows 2 contacts even though in people and google website it shows 1!
As for the title I've no idea what happened! I must have typed in a special character or something that removed my title! Apologies!

How do I delete all device contacts only?

Mom gave me her S7. Synced with Google, all my contacts are in. Now I realize there are still 2000 of HER contacts in the DEVICE storage. Some are automatically linked to MY google contacts.
How can I delete all the device contacts? If I set it to view device contacts only, select all, and delete, it says "all contacts will be deleted from linked accounts" ... doesn't this mean it will also delete the linked Google contacts?

That always trips me up too. What I actually do is make a backup of my Google account contacts. Save them safely somewhere on a computer. Then blow away all the phone contacts. If the Google contacts online are messed up I re-import the saved contacts online, then re-sync with phone. My way may be overkill, but it works for me lol. There may be an easier way.

I think I found an easier way.
1. Go to Settings > Applications > Application Manager
2. Tap More > Show System Apps
3. Scroll down to "Contacts Storage" (NOT "Contacts"), tap it
4. Tap "Storage", Tap "Clear Data"
That will delete all contacts, including Google, but then within minutes Google contacts will get restored via Sync.

Export your contacts from contacts.google.com before deleting anything, I deleted my phone contacts and lost them from gmail too (Luckily made a backup first) - but when you select contacts to be deleted it should only delete the ones you have selected, no others
Personally I would have factory reset the phone when your mom gave you it, before adding your own account
So export from gmail
Delete from phone
If all is well that's all you need to do, if it deletes them all you have your backup to import again

To some extent，Whatever data can be easily deleted from the phone, it's easy to recover on the phone, isn't it ?
As you said , how to delete contacts from Android phone , what is more that how do your make sure these deleted data can not be recovered back any more ?
