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?

try clearing out the cache of calendar ...tibu..clear cache
or settings. application. calendar force stop. clear cache and data.
reboot and sync again.
if that doesn't work stop Google frameworks, clear data and cache and reboot.

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.

I installed InsertCoin Evolution v2.0 Custom Rom For HTC Sensation.
Everything works fine as now, The ROM is great.....
But I found one thing, is it a bug or what, i don't know...
Even though I am synchronized through Facebook, Contact pictures are not showing in messages.
When I restarts the Shell, the pictures starts coming but after some time, say 7 to 8 hr, again pictures of contacts goes blank whereas in contacts list, pictures are very much there.
I had restarts the phone several times, not only hot reboot which restarts shell only but did a full reboot. Even though the problem persists...
Any way to solve this....????
Ive had this problem before...
have you deleted the HTC Twitter apk? Ive found that once I delete that, my pictures wont show up in the contacts or messages, even tho I dont even use Twitter. if you have, just reflash the rom or restore the app if you can
if you havent deleted the apk, you can try clearing the data and cache for the Facebook app and uninstalling it/removing your account. then you can install it again and it should work fine

yaah i had deleted the HTC Twittere apk....
i don't use twitter that's why i did that, sad to hear that i have to install twitter for that, twitter is like a bloatware to me.... but i'll give a try to this solution
Rest hope for the best..
did you fix your problem? sorry its been a couple of days
I had this same problem myself, the problem was nothing to do with Twitter, the problem is with facebook and syncing fb contacts with phone book contacts, there becomes a conflict between users profile pictures on fb, and the pictures u have stored for those same contacts on your google account, anyway to fix this, first open facebook, press menu, settings, scroll to the bottom where the sync options are and change to don't sync, it will clear user data for u, next exit facebook, what I did after this, was via rcmix settings I cleared the dalvik cache and cache, then rebooted the phone, once your back up and running, u can either go through each contact at a time and edit them assigning a new picture to them or remove your google account and re add it, next u can set facebook back up, this time though select don't sync, when your finished goto your system settings, accounts and sync, facebook and just tick calender events and live feed, leave the contacts unchecked, that's it, should be done, the only thing u loose is in your phone book contacts their facebook status will no longer appear.
Ok so I uninstalled Google calendar app, (it was just installed from Play-store) and I got a com.google.calendar issue I didn't read it in time.
Now my all of my events are not syncing with my calendar on my phone. I tried re-installing latest google apps, no avail. I reinstalled google calendar from playstore no cigar. If I post a new event on google calander it will show up but none of the previous events I posted. I'm talking 100 or so events, appointments, tasks etc.
It is syncing fine on my tablet so not a google issue, account is set to sync calender, google calendar is selected to show in the app.
I'm lost any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Seems as though when I edit an event it then shows up on my phone. Weird.
did you try clearing your app data/cache?
Go into settings>apps>all and find Google Services Framework. Clear data and reboot. Your calendar should clear itself up in a few minutes.

This worked thanks.
hi
it has been a while now, my Google Account is screwing up the sync to my Samsung Sgs2 every 2 weeks or so, I used to remove and put back the Google account and that fixed it. now that doesn't work anymore.
unless I click on "sync" is not doing anything so basically not "pushing" emails anymore....
is there something that could fix it? ive reinstalled gmail, etc etc. nothing helped... I am assuming I should reinstall the OS?
many thanks
gabrio
Hi,
Before reinstalling the OS itself, and even if clearing google framework data is not really recommended, you can apply this workaround:
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).

as usual, XDA delivers, I have done the steps you mentioned and my Sync is up and running again. Let's see if it holds from now on.
Thanks so much
hi
something bad must have happened last night / this morning. I had again the sync problem, gmail not download any email or sending anything out from my mobile.
I did again
Workaround:
I force-stopped, cleared data on "Google Services Framework", Gmail app, and Play Store. Rebooted the device. Open Play Store, Agree to the terms. Open Gmail, let it do its "first time setup" (takes about 2 minutes).
But this time when you open Google Play it's saying "check your connection and try again", grey screen, nothing happening, I tried empty cache as well. I can swipe from the left side and I see my email there with "redeem, settings and help & feedback" but nothing loads. I updated manually to very latest GPS apk.
opened Gmail and it's still syncing, nothing happens.
any ideas? seriously upset that they keep changing things!
thanks
after some fiddling around, I have removed gmail, reinstalled (I like an old version), nada, so then I went and removed the Google Account as I thought, well why not? that did the trick, Gmail started working again and after a bit of clicks I got the Google Play working again. Now calendar sync is screwing up a bit lol.....never working at once!
Earlier I did try to delete the hosts file in ETC as someone suggested but that didn't help.
thought to add my 2 cents.

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!
Syncml-orphaned driving me mad

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.
