Remove Syncml-orphaned calendar - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just had to re-enter a bunch of appointments on my google calender because they ended up previously on this other calendar (which seems to be phone only, so perhaps it's an Xperia thing, or maybe it's a hangover from some other system I've used in the past, although I doubt it because i've not logged into any other calendar systems on my Z3).
I can disable it from within the google calender app, so hopefully it would cause any more trouble, but I'd like to get rid of it. I've disabled the original (sony?) calender app but it's not removed this option.
Does anyone else have this? You can see it by running the Google calendar app and dragging the left edge of the screen right. You can remove it from here in settings, but it's still available in settings. I want it gone!

I have the same problem. Tried deleting and reopening to no avail. Contemplating deleting my google account altogether and starting from scratch.

Calendar has recently been chewing a lot of battery on my Z3C, and I've noticed that I also now have a syncml-orphaned calendar appearing. Anyone else found this in recent times?

Has this been solved? One year later I still have the same problem, even on newer Sony Xperia phones

Well, I think I have found a way: Using TitaniumBackup I have performed WIPE DATA on Calendar Storage and Calendar. This has fixed the syncml-orphaned problem for me.
Of course, for this to work you have to have Root.

Clear data of Calendar Storage

This worked for me without TitaniumBackup:
Clear data of the app ‘Calendar Storage’. As this is a system app, you need to activate ‘Show system’ in the app list.

[Q] Syncing Google Calendar

Hi All
Ive had my Sendsation around a month now. All seems to be well generally, but today I noticed that some events in my Android Calendar are not not showing up, but in Google Calendar on my PC, they are!
It's made me a bit concerned that there may be other errors.
I want to clear the data completely from my Sensation and resync the calendar from Google Calendar - could anyone give me a tip on how to do this?
Thanks
Steve
Found this when looking for a solution to my problem may be of interest.

Problem I am having is shared calendars not showing on my phone but do on pc????????
ya you just go into setting/applications/manage applications, select calendar and clear data, force stop then probably wanna reboot. that would do it for you.

[Q] Calendar not syncing 100% with Google Calendar

Hi:
I have a strange problem with syncing my Infuse 4G stock calendar with Google Calendar. Most of my entries in Google show up in my phone calendar app, but some specific ones don't. There seems to be no pattern as to what does and does not show up locally, but whatever does not, never does.
I've tried editing the entries on Google to see if an update would force the entry to be resynced, but no luck. I've even deleted the data for the Calendar Storage app. The same entries fail to show up again.
As things stand, I have no confidence in whether the calendar I am being shown on the device is correct or not.
Any suggestions for diagnosing / repairing this problem are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This might be better suited in the Q and A section, I don't know...this is themes and apps, but I suppose that is an app. I just am not sure if that's what they mean for this section. Sorry I got no ideas for you though. Good luck.
Don't be afraid

Is your phone still stock or have you modded it? I had issues when I was playing with what services I could freeze in Titanium Backup. I didn't like the calendar that came with the infuse. I downloaded touch calendar free version. don't have problems with my calendar or shared calendars.
Hi:
I'm still using the stock ROM - UCKH1. I'll give the Touch Calendar a try and see if that works.
Thanks for the tip.

[Q] Google Calendar Sync time off

Question up front is what is the time zone format for central time in the build.prop file? My build.prop says:
#Update TimeZone
persist.sys.timezone=America/New_York
I'm having an issue with my calendar times being off 1 hour when syncing up or down. My Google time is correct and my phone time is correct (set to up date from network). However, if I create an event on my calendar and sync it its off. If I set it for 5pm on my phone and sync up, google says 6pm. If i create on google for 5pm and sync down it says 4pm on my phone.
I'm wondering if I edit the build.prop to central time if it will fix it.
Did you check the time zone on your google account?

It wasn't all that. But, you kicked my brain into thinking about the app. I don't use the stock calendar and the one I use doesn't have a setting for timezone. SO, I did have to use TiBu to unfreeze the stock calendar go to those settings and set it to force timezone to central. Tested my sync in my calendar, all good. Froze the stock calendar in TiBu again, all still good.
thanks for kicking me in the brain.

skot,
There is a calendar stock app and a calendar sync stored info app.
If you don't use the stock calendar, just delete it with tibu.
As long as the cal sync is still there, you can still use third party cal w/o problem.
I use the "business calendar" on market...it works great

Yea that's what I did, kinda. As soon add I flashed 5.2 I froze it (the calendar app). I don't mess with Cal sync or any of the google services. I'm currently using AA task calendar. I think I tried business calendar. I used to use jorte calendar.
I know what I posted as the fix sounds hokey because the stock calendar shouldn't have anything to do with it, but that force timezone setting in the stock calendar fixed it.

ICS (4.0.3) Calendar not showing appointments

I have 4.0.3 installed on my Nexus S (GT-9020), and have been loving it - best OS I have used on any phone. So sleek and well designed, it's a real shame most users will never see it's full glory once Samsung, HTC et al will put their own skin over it.
Anyway, yesterday (29th Feb) all my calendar appointments disappeared from my phone and now it is only showing new ones added since yesterday.
None of my settings have changed, I still have my work exchange account and my gmail account syncing and the mail from both are fine. All the calendars are still selected to be shown. When I go online I can still see my appointments in Google Calendar so I know they haven't been deleted and in Outlook my exchange appointments are also still there.
I don't know what has happened. At first I thought it was just the widget but the full app doesn't show them either.
Has anyone seen this? Does anyone know how to sort it?
Cheers.

Try turning sync off for calendar , restart, then turn it back on?
Have you tried clearing data from the calendar app? Go into Settings | Apps | All | look for calendar and clear data.
Are you using a custom ROM? Is this for all appointments (google and exchange)?
I had this problem once for the exchange appointments. I resolved it by removing the exchange account, and adding it back again with all settings left at default.
Maybe a problem with the leap year? But then others should also having problems.
I would also remove the calendar, reboot, delete data and re-add the calendar.
Thanks Oogway13.
I tried turning off and on sync with no joy, but deleting the app data under the app "Calendar Storage" did the trick. Everything went (as expected) then opened the calendar app (can't remember if I selected refresh or not) and all my appointments slowly came back. Weird.
I didn't need to reboot or remove-add the calendar app (which I think you can only disable, not remove, on ICS anyway) so that's good.
Just running stock Nexus S ICS ROM (downloaded from this forum) and use stock calendar app for both google calendar and exchange calendar. All had gone missing though!
Glad it's back.
Excellent!! good to know it's working now

Stock alarm app setting it's own alarm

Haven't seen this problem on the forums before....
Lately, every day around 1120am, my stock clock is setting an alarm for 0930am the following morning.
For the life of me I have no idea what's causing this.
This is a new s7 (g930f, new zealand)
I have used smart switch to transfer from my old s7 to a new one (insurance, broke my old one)
Has anyone come across this before?
I'm hoping there is another way to fix this that doesn't involve me factory resetting my phone (I find it a pain in the arse)
Cheers in advance
Clear cache and data of the alarm app?
Maybe it's syncing with old data, check the sync settings
Done the data/cache clear (should've mentioned that)
I'll give sync settings a look....
Stopped the calendar sync, that's sorted it so far.
Bugger that my calendarcan't sync now.
Is there a way to remove my synced data so I can resync my current calendar? (Hopefully without my glitchy one)

Try Settings > Cloud and Accounts > Samsung Cloud > Manage Cloud Storage > Backup Data > (Delete the entries there)
Thanks fellas.
I believe the sync settings etc was the winner on the day.
Cheers again for the info
