Calendar events not showing - only birthdays - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I have my Google account syncing just fine on the phone, but when I go to Calendar app to view what my agenda shows for the day, nothing shows except the birthdays.
I have tried adding the account again but zmesssge says "Account already installed."
I've looked in the app to see what calendars get shown and all I see is the phones contacts.
How do I get my Google calendar appointments to show up and not just birthdays.
Thanks very much.
PS - I'm not having syncing problems like other users have posted, it's just that nothing shows up, only birthdays.

Are you using Google calendar app or default Huawei...?

I'm using Google Calendar but it doesn't show up as one of the calendars listed even though the account is installed on the phone.
I've always used my Google calendar as my default on my phone without installing any extra app as the entries normally just sync via Account settings.
I know I can download and install the actual Google Calendar app but would rather just have everything sync with the default installed calendar app.

Calendar question

I have a question about the calendar app in 2.1 on the hero. If I have 2 google accounts with a personal calendar on one and a business calendar on the other account, I know that I can link both accounts to the phone so that I can sync the calendars down from google to the phone. So when you go to the calendars option in the calendar setting it shows 3 calendars, google personal, google work, and my calendar. The question is this. Is there any to create an appointment and have it only sync with the personal google calendar? Would I have to go to the calendar settings and uncheck the other 2, make the appointment and sync it and the check the other 2 again?

Yes, just use the top drop down menu when you add an event. By default it will only publish to one calendar, you just need to tell it which one. Personal you would use that calander, work, you select that one.
Hope that helps
edit: You can also go to the web calendar app and link your work calendar so you can "see" it on your personal one. Then when you use that google account on the phone the work calendar will appear in the "view calendar" menu. I do this for my wife's calendar and I can post to hers as well, I just have to tell the phone which calendar to add the event to when I create it, all from one google account.

Calendar Problems

I am having problems syncing all my calendars. I sync two google accounts with multiple calendars in each (my calendars). The problems is, that the second google account does not show all the calendars on the phone in calendar.
Also, I use Agenda Widget that I use as a calendar replacement. Under its options, it actually lists the missing calendars, but even if i check them, they do not show up.
So I deleted a bunch of my calendars that I use less, hoping that maybe it was something like it only allows a certain number of calendars. The second account will only sync the main calendar, not the other calendars i have under "my calendars"
I just upgraded from a myt3g running yoshi, and I did not have this problem with either the calendar or the agenda widget app.
tldr; my phone only syncs my primary calendar and nothing else from "my calendars"

[Q] Calendar Sync Error, not the usual one.

When I sync my google account it says sync error with the red symbol,BUT it does in fact sync everything and I have all my contacts and apps and stuff.
All of the sync arrow cycles seems to go through, next to the check boxes, they're all fine EXCEPT, there is no option for "Sync Google Calendar" ... This is where my issue differs from ones I've seen.
YES I've tried removing and re-adding account, Re-installing Google Calendar AND making a new account and syncing that, new accounts made ALSO don't show "Sync Google Calendar".
With the chrome webapp for Google Calendar it does infact sync everything and that works through Chrome in that tiny interface. I also have all my desktop chrome bookmarks via the 2 step verification in chrome.
So my only issues are, the red error for Sync Google account and nothing showing for Google Calendar app.
When I click "Calendars to Sync" it just stays blank and loads forever, and I KNOW I have Calendars to sync since they DO show up on the webapp.
Error says:
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Please Help.

Google Calendar Sync Issues

So on my Nexus 5, my Calendar syncs fine, but on my Note Pro, it doesn't even show up as an option... I go under accounts in settings, click my Google account for sync options and Calendar is not one of them. It has everything else like Gmail etc but not Calendar. I have the Calendar app installed, I am signed in. But it refuses to sync. Am I missing something here?

S3 not syncing Google Calendar

I just helped my mom switch from her S3 to a S5. Under Settings>Accounts>Google, there is no way to turn Sync on. I can "Sync all" or manually sync each type of app - App Data, Calendar, Contacts, Drive, etc.
I have used "Sync all" and tapped to sync Calendar. It last synced just a minute ago. However, the calendar events are not showing up in my mom's Google account anywhere besides the S3. The S3 is connected to wifi.
I have checked and the Gmail address is the same everywhere - she only has one Google account.
How can I get her Calendar events synced to her Google account?
Edit: it looks like "My calendar" means the Samsung calendar. Those events show up in her Google Calendar on the S3, but nowhere else. I think I need to change the Samsung calendar events to Google Calendar events. Is there any way to do that? An export from Samsung Calendar? It's looking unlikely. This is absurd and unacceptable.
Edit2: Someone elsewhere suggesting using a third-party app called iCal Export. I was able to export the My Calendar events and import them into Google Calendar. It seems to be a successful workaround.
