[Q] [Help] Calendar stuck syncing, freezes phone if opened

Hi all,
I'm running SpeedMod Kernel and stock Froyo 2.2.1. I did have Darky's ROM installed, but I've reset all caches, reformatted all things reformattable and reinstalled stock firmware (though not stock kernel... where does one find that!?).
Anyhow, the issue is (and I've done 5 factory resets so far, same problem each time) that when I set up my Google account, the phone endlessly syncs the calendar (little icon displayed on task bar and icon next to calendar in sync settings rotating). If you try to open the calendar app itself the entire phone hangs and you have to force restart. Also if I leave it for a while and come back it has frozen and needs to be forced to restart. It never stops syncing the calendar...
Has anyone encountered this problem and/or has a solution.
On a possibly related note, some of my appointments in Google Calendar have disappeared... did the phone delete them in it's mental sync antics?
This is really starting to annoy me...!
Thanks for your help!
PS. I have also tried clearing the data in the Calendar and related sync apps in app manager. Can it be that I have so much Google Calendar data to sync? It's been syncing on wifi for over 3 hours now... but Calendar app shows 0 kb, Calendar data shows about 300 kb and Calendar sync helper things shows 200 kb or so....
UPDATE: I've seen others on other forums having this trouble, even without mucking about with firmwares. Their suggested (and often successful) solution was to clear all caches and data and take the battery out for some time to let things discharge. I've done this... and the problem persists. Does anyone know if you can contact Google and have them look at the server side to see if something has snarled up there?
Any help appreciated!

Finally Ive got it.
You need to stop all calendar tasks and delete their cache...
Reboot and you got it!!!
Still not working for me
Hi
Did this work for anyone else?
I stopped and cleared the following services,
Calendar Storage, Calendar Sync Adapter and Calendar.
It only showed my main calendar.
I'm on Darkyy's Rom 9.3 (Android 2.2)

[Q] Facebook SNS status not showing up

Hi all
I am running stock Samsung Froyo 2.2.1 and somehow, SNS status of my contacts stopped working. It does not show if I create a shortcut on desktop, hovewer it shows in the Dialer app. I tried to re-join facebook and phone contacts, re-enable facebook sync with the samsung app and also with facebook app, nothing helping. The only thing not tried is removing the Facebook sync account and add it again. Any suggestions?
that wont help either im having the same problem i guess its messed up but i tried removing the account & adding it again still did nothing hope this answers ur question
damn... i expect you did not try to do hard reset too
nope didnt try that it seems like there fixing it but who knows how long that will last lol y did u try a hard reset??
Nah... I am saving that for real issues
I am having the same issue. The get friends screen simply says "No SNS accounts". This is a samsung galaxy s. I have a facebook account setup... On Android 2.1 I used to be able to select who to sync. I am now on 2.2.1

I had heard Facebook and Google having a falling out and Google disabling sync but I thought it would only affect official 2.3 firmwares. Might be a corporate rather than a phone issue

[Q] Instagram and Facebook Questions

I got my Galaxy Note on tuesday, been playing around with it for a few days. But since downloading Facebook my contacts have messed up. So I restored it to factory settings.
Since relaunching when I try and download Instagram it says it's incompatible, yet I had it before I restored and there is no update for my phone, when I done it first time or now. I'm on 2.3.6.
Also before I log in to Facebook again, is there a way to get it not to mess with my contacts? I don't just mean under contacts, I mean under when you try to add a recipient to a text, I don't want it to list all my Facebook friends, contacts on my phone and contacts on my sim.
I've also had a few crashes for no apparent reason and on reload no error message?
Before i installed facebook it told me to select which method to use, either sync contacts or not so i choose not to so hopefully mine is cool but it said go into settings in your phone and look for facebook tab then uncheck it to not sync contacts. Should be siimple

[Q] Sync problems Facebook & HTC One

Since day one I am not able to open my Friends-list in Facebook on my HTC One phone. When clicking on Friends I will get this message: Cannot retrieve friends list. Please try again later. [1/An unknown error occurred]
When checking Settings/Accounts & Sync in Android I will find an red refresh symbol of Facebook and this message: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
I did completely remove Facebook, People and Contacts on my tablet, phone and PC. But after re-installing everything, the problem remains.
I am not able to see my friends list and can not tag friends in a post. Also my contacts pictures in Android are not synced with the Facebook profile pictures.
What can I do to solve this annoying problem?

Well, I'm not sure if it is related, but I guess you should give it a try:

Thanks for helping xineis!
I tried those steps but that didn't help either.
I removed and/or cleared:
PC>Facebook>Account Settings>Apps>every single app
Phone>Accounts & Sync>Facebook
Phone>Accounts & Sync>Google
Phone>Apps>All>Contacts Storage
Phone>Apps>All>Facebook (also uninstalled updates)
Phone>Apps>All>Facebook for HTC Sense
Phone>Apps>All>Google Contacts Sync
Phone>Apps>All>HTC Sync
Phone>Apps>All>People
I also removed all contacts from Google contacts on my PC.
After these steps I open Facebook, and after filling in my credentials I choose Sync all. After a few minutes, when I check the Phone>Accounts & Sync>Facebook option I will find an exclamation mark right next to the refresh symbol within Facebook Contacts.
I tried all kinds of configuration but never have been able to solve this issue. Facebook will simply not sync the contacts.
More suggestions please!
Just tried a full wipe but that also does not change anything. Than I tried another Facebook account and that worked just fine. But when I tried mine, same problem remains. Must be an error on Facebook server.
How can I contact Facebook directly? The help function sucks and it seems they just ignore my messages

You even tried the "change password" step?
humm, I don't have the One (yet), but as any Android device it probably has that reset button (is that the "factory reset"?). I know it's a little harsh but it could (maybe) solve your problem...
Have you tried alternative facebook apps like Fast for Facebook and Haxsync? See if they have are having sync issues as well. Also, is your phone 'authorised' by Facebook? Long shot but worth trying

Ok I had the same problem for ages and one day realised that not all syncs were on - under phone settings yes but apps have individual settings that cannot be overridden by your phone... I'm sure you wouldve tried something so simple but just in case - go into your Facebook app on your phone, under the menu tab select 'app settings' and at the very very bottom of the list there is an option for how to sync contacts i.e. none, all or existing only ...
This is probably something that you've already tried but hey, I was silly enough to not realise!!
I'm sorry if this was not much help, aside from blissful simplicity I am unable to assist.
very useful info
Thanks so much for the useful info ^^^....had this same problem and thought it was the recent kitkat 4.4.2 update. Thanks...am sorted
