For the past 2 days, I've been having huge issues with my calendar application, on which I rely totally for my work appointments:
1-Syncing to google calendar has been hectic: some appointments sync, others don't.
2-Sometimes the calendar application keeps "syncing" for hours (ie the sync icon in notification bar is continuously on) and when this happens, I can't open the calendar, or if It does open I can't edit appointments.
3-In the "accounts and sync" settings, the last calendar sync date is stuck on a fixed date (June 12, 19:02) although it has synced many times since then (but with the problems described above).
I've tried rebooting many times, activating/deactivating applications sync... but in vain.
Thank you for any help.
PS: I'm on plain stock
Solved
I removed a world cup calendar I had added to my gcalendar, and things went back to normal.

The dates from facebook that go into my calender are showing up in my calender a few hours off. Ive tried other calendars, and it doesnt seem to help. Right now im using Pure Calender. An event on facebook that starts at 4pm is showing up on my device as 9am. Anyone know whats going on? Ive already tried messing with the timezone on my computer and facebook.
It's a timezone problem with Facebook. The only solution I've found is directly importing my FB events to google calender and just getting them from there.
How do you import the facebook events into google? I think I need to mention that the times only show up incorrect when they are on a widget calender that I have placed on my home screen. The actual calender itself shows them correctly, just the widgets ive used show them hours off.
I have this issue when syncing the TouchWiz calendar with Google calendar. My times is off by one hour, so I checked the timezone settings on both the phone and google's, but none of them were the issue. I still haven't found a solution.
I also replaced the Touchwiz calendar with the stock android calendar, but I still have the same issue.
Any other ideas?
I have same issue on my HTC Desire (2.2). Would be cool if Facebook added time-zone functionality for their events, or if someone made it possible to chose an off-set on your device for Facebook events before importing them into calendar.
You can export Facebook events and/or birthdays and import them into Google calendar with FB application called Fdcal (it has time-zone option). Application is not working flawlessly, I got my events to show into Google calendar, but couldn't export birthdays for some reason.
But this will not solve your issues, because there was no way I could get those events to show on my phone. In Gemini calendar you get an option to check on those additional calendar subscribed on your Google one, but they don't show in my phone either for some reason.
The only workaround I found so far is that once those event show in Google calendar, you can easily duplicate them (save them as Google calendar entries), and those will show once the sync kicks in.
I'm waiting for someone to come up with easier solution

i'm having the same issue, the event is 8 hrs late when it appear in my SGS calendar
Has anyone already solved this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my SGS and the XXJPO firmware.
Well I haven't done anything, but problem IS solved on my HTC Desire for quite some time now. Can't say exactly when it was fixed (or if it was fixed by HTC or Facebook), but event times in my stock calendar that is synced with Facebook are now ok.
On my Touchwiz-Calendar it's working fine, too.
Just in every calendar widget I tried so far, the facebook events are shifted by one hour.
So I am in the time zone GMT+1 but the event gets displayed like I would be in GMT+0.
As a workaround I switched the time zone in my phone to GMT+0, so now the times for the fb-events are correct, but this is causing other problems now.
Hi Guys,
I have some strange Problems syncing my Google Calendars.
It shows my Default Calendar and syncs it, but all other calendars i have are not visible in Android 2.2's Calendar App --> Means that its not possible to sync them.
Once it worked by resetting the device to factory defaults - then it showed up all calendars. But that can't be the truth, resetting MY DEVICE to sync a stupid calendar?????.
I don't want to loose all my data and settings (of course i know that i can do backups etc...)
What i tried it:
-Deleting Dalvik Cache
-Deleting normal Cache
-Removing Calendarstorage
...but nothing worked. Just the default Calendar and no other...
Does anybody have a tipp for me how to FORCE google Calendar to sync all Calendars, is there a file i need to edit or someshing else? Maybe a fix from the market?.
I tried also to remove the google Account from Android but that was not possible in Android 2.2. I guess in it worked in Android 2.1....really strange!
Regards
What I did when shared calendars weren't showing up was to go to settings->application->calendar storage and do a 'clear data' and 'force stop'. Repeat for calendar app as well.
Next time it synced it showed the other calendars.
And yeah, I noticed too that you can't delete the account anymore due to it being used blabla
Are there any other fixes or workarounds to try, I've noticed I'm getting this problem too? It's probably been there a while, but it's only now I've updated one of my other calendars.
I've tried clearing data, forcing a stop, or rebooting, but nothing seems to work.
Curiously, although only "My Calendar" and the default Google calendar appear for selection in the default calendar app, all the other calendars (whether they're personal Google calendars or public ones like "UK Holidays") appear for selection to display in a few third-party apps I've tried. Unfortunately, all these apps seem to use the actual calendar data, so even if the other calendars are selected, nothing is displayed because the stock app won't sync.

I've got the exactly same problem. I am using Froyo 2.2.1 and tried clearing data, forcing stops, reboots, format cache partition...and nothing. I can select the other calendars in Smooth Calendar widget and Touch Calendar (although they dont show the events on the calendar) But I cant see them in Android Agenda widget and in Stock Calendar app.
This is really frustrating. Is it really that hard to make those small things work? Please help!
I'm using the Smooth Calendar app and have the same problem. (complicated by needing to use a VPN because of where I live). I'm also using eM Client for the calendar on the PC. Here is what I did:
1) checked on line to see if google calendar synced ok - It was ok
2) Installed Google calendar app on my phone - checked to see if it was sync'd - it was NOT
3) In Smooth Calendar select config. Under the heading "Application" | Calendar application: Select which calendar application to use > (selected "Calendar" which is google's android calendar)
4) Went back to google calendar on the phone and press the three vertical dots and then selected refresh
5) Went back to Smooth Calendar and selected refresh - all is well now
(I don't know if I'll need to do so much in the future)

I just realized that there are two "refreshes" in Smooth Calendar. Ones is visible when you press on the display. The other is when you choose "calendar" and you are actually seeing google's calendar at that point. Choose the three vertical dots and refresh there !!!
Hello
A strange thing is happening in these last days, it has never happened before since I have the Incredible s (4 months).
Randomly I find my android calendar, which is normally synced with google calendar, completely empty. I need to go to Application -> Calendar sync -> reset data to force the synchronization again and find all my appointment.
The only thing I have noted is that in the Synch status screen, if I select the google account, the calendar is checked (of course) but there is the round arrows icon close to the checkmark and the icon is steady (the symbol tipically moves when the sync is in progress).
Does someone is having the same issue too?
Thanks
Stefano
same for me
starting a few days or yesterday? can'r remember

Now the problem is over. Probably it was something from google server that has been fixed as I did nothing particular...
Bye
Just noticed that some events established through Google Calendar on the desktop are not syncing to the One. Most events are syncing -- seems to be sporadic and random - I can't see a pattern to the events being omitted.
I discovered the problem when I checked on a reminder I set up during May 2014 as an all day event which did not sync over to the One. I started to poke around and noticed that another event during that same month didn't come over to the phone either. So it isn't just a one time thing. I tried clearing calendar data from the phone and resyncing, turning the phone off and on, deleting and re-adding the event - I even deleted and reimported all my events for the entire calendar through the desktop version, cleared calendar data on the phone and resynced. Still the same certain events that are established in Google Calendar on the desktop are not syncing to the phone.
The final twist is that they are syncing correctly to my iPad calendar. This is what leads me to believe that it is a problem on the phone side.
Anyone else noticing something amiss with some calendar events around a year out not syncing to their phone?
(Also tested using the Google Calendar App in addition to the HTC stock app - same problem regardless of the calendar app)
This has been driving my nuts for days, and I feel like an idiot that it took so long to figure out. I'm posting it here in case anyone else runs into this.
Symptom: red "syncing issue" circle showing on your google account under accounts and sync in the menu, but when you go into it to see what's not syncing, all items (calendar, contacts, gmail, etc) all appear to have synced correctly. Also, google services may or may not be keeping your phone awake. You've removed and re-added your google account, cleared cache and permissions, but that red circle won't go away.
Solution: I had frozen google tasks in tb days ago (because I don't use it), but apparently it was still trying to sync. When I unfroze it, it immediately showed up under accounts and sync with a red circle. I then manually synced, which got rid of the circle, then unchecked it so that it wasn't set up to sync anymore.
Problem solved, and all red "syncing issue" circles gone.
