Can't create calendar items
Since the update for Froyo and fct reset I have been unable to create a new Calendar item. Every time I try (using both the stock calendar and Android Agenda widget) the Edit Event screen pops up along with the keyboard only to quickly disappear before I can enter any data.
Anyone else seeing this or have any suggestions for me?
I have rooted my phone, and did remove some bloatware by renaming files. However, I restored all of the files and am still having the issue.
it also will not sync with my google calendar at this time, but it seems like that might be a separate issue as I'm not able to log into my calendar on the google site at this tmie either.
Thanks in advance.

I installed this program EboBirthday (that I wont recommend to anybody). With this program you can get birthdayinfomation that you filled in about your contacts, and i.e make calendar entries for each to get reminders etc.
This program was messing up my syncronization with the google server, so needed to delete it - and all program-data. This was very tricky, but after a while with thousands attempts, I finally removed the most part of it - I think. Except the calendar entries.
Whatever did not EboBirthday rendering birthday dates correctly. Year was wrong, so calculation of how old the person was, was wrong. (Think it was an error with rendering the date to a timestamp, so many contacts "was born" in 1970)
So I logged into iGoogle and deleted all calendar entries from there. The calendar is now empty on iGoogle, but calendar entries on the phone will still not go away - unfortunately.
I have tried to opt out of iGoogle calendar on the phone and add it again, and calendar entries disappear when it is left out, but comes back again when I select back google calendar. In iGoogle, I can not see that the entries are back.
What can this be? Some who have suggestions for how I can remove these from my mobile?
My cell phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved! I had to delete the content i Calendar on the phone. Actually i think the phone automatically should have did this, because its syncs with Google-calendar.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> Calendar Storage -> Remove data
Then i synced my phone again with Google, and everything was OK - and synced!
I have the sync checked and everything, but when I go the google calender through my computer it is blank. Any suggestions for why it isn't working. It problem something stupid I haven't done.
Underneath the date where it says calendar, did you choose your acount instead of my calendar? Sorry if that seems insulting, we just have to rule out the obvious first.
I have both checked. And don't worry about insulting me. Like I said, it is probably something stupid.
Was sync ever working? What changes have you made to your phone (e.g. new firmware)?
Your settings seem fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No special rom or anything and synchas never worked. I tried unchecking and checking the thing again. Didn't work. What its weird is that the info shows up on the launcher pro + calender widget. It seems to be missing some events though.
As I understand this - your calendar is displaying correctly on the phone, but not on your computer?
When you create a new calendar entry on the phone, are you making sure that it is placing it in the google calendar and not "my calendar" - you have to change this as "my calendar" is the default and does not sync to google calendars.
So my calendar will not sync with my google calendar? I have to do it with each event manually? I thought that if the syncing was set up to sync with my google calendar, that it would.... sync with it. Or does it only work one way? Google calendar to my calendar, but not the other way around?
It sounds like you might not have background and auto sync enabled, do you know if you do?
In the calendar app, as mentioned before, make sure you're selecting "[email protected]" rather than My Calendar (its annoying to me, seems like they should sync by default without my input, but at least that part is simple enough for me to get over it).
Then, check out your settings... Apps >> Settings >> Accounts and sync
Do you have Background data and Auto-sync checked? these are crucial, though i think Auto-sync is what should fix this.
Then select your gmail account just below that. Make sure everything is checked. Calendar could be unchecked by default, thus not syncing. I can't remember what's checked out of the box.
Then, I suggest adding the Power Control widget to one of your home screens (I don't know if this is installed by default, I've downloaded and removed too much to remember it all ). The 4th box is the Auto-sync toggle. I need my battery to last all day, so I have this off until I can actually use the stuff, like email, etc.
You can either leave it on at all times and deal with minor battery loss (i think it's minor, tomorrow I'm testing how much battery it will consume leaving on). Or you can toggle it as needed like i do, and when on, it will sync up the calendar, along with everything else. This may not solve your problem, but it sounds reasonable to me. I might be in the same boat as you if I hadn't read a lifehacker article about the Power Control widget and syncing my google stuff.
Let us know how it goes
I have exactly the same problem and I have been trying to fix it all week!
Seems everything is right but nothing will sync, it says it has but my calender is nowhere to be seen, can anybody help I have even factory reset to try again today...

Rereading some of this.... It seems like you are seeing Google events on teh phone, but phone events are not showing up in Google.
Probably the issue is the events are created on the phone (by default) in "my calendar" not in the google calendar. 2.2 fixes this, but 2.1 (the stock build and the recent update) make all entries go into "my calendar" by default. You can change this via a drop down, but you have to do it for every calendar entry you create on the phone.
Guys contacts from facebook accounts won't sync but calendar syncs flawlessly. Other account would sync too. Can't contact facebook since there's no way to get to them. Did anyone ever come across this issue. Is there any possible solution to it?
I'm having the the same problem. Anyone? I'm on JVK Darky's RC4 if that helps.
I had this problem, but a while ago, while I was on stock rom. I had to delete de FB account from Acc/Sync, re-install FB for Android and let the app add the sync account. There's a small difference between the Facebook Sync account that is manually added or the Facebook Sync account that the app adds itself. You can even see a small difference in the icons (Account & Sync).
Hope this helps further ...
Facebook Contacts Won't Sync?
Don't know if you're still interested in the fix for this, but you'll need to go to facebook.com using any browser (don't need your phone for this), go into your security settings.
On the bottom left, you'll see a link for "Apps and websites: edit your settings," click on this and then edit the settings for "Apps you use."
Delete "Samsung Mobile."
You can log out now as you won't need to do anything else at facebook.
Now go into your phone and delete your integrated facebook account (if you haven't already).
Create a new integrated facebook account as you usually would. If you don't sync the first time, reboot and try again.
It has nothing to do with deleting the actual app. There are two Facebook services on the Android as Orvo has said, you can notice the difference in them by looking at the icons. Only one of them lets you sync contacts to your phone, if the first doesn't try, try the other. One of them works.
I had the same problem i fixed it by reflashing the whole rom with a full wipe.
Hope it helps..
Hi
I have an HTC Heron with Android 2.1. I used to be able to sync and link the ocntacts on my phone with those who appear on Facebook. However, now I can't and it's very annoying. I have tried a few times to remove and reinstall the Android Facebook app but there is no syncing option within the app, although there should be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Look in (not in the app, but) the system settings -> accounts/ synchronization (or something similar)
Already tried that with no luck.
yeah you need to add facebook, just as above post Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook
If still no joy, there is a way of doing it the phonebook/contacts. There should be a little button to the far right on the same line as the persons names is and you can sync them that way. AFIK their is no way to do multiple persons so its one at a time
fairly simple download and install facebook for android apk from google market, add a facebook account via Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook, authenticate with your account details, select sync with existing contacts, download and install GO Contacts EX from google market.
This will offer to import facebook and sim accounts, click settings, and merge, select name - you can now merge all the duplicate contacts together
You can also add twitter accounts just add the twitter apk from the market , then follow the above steps
Thanks everyone for your help. I have tried removing and readding HTC Facebook Sense. No luck still. I then backed up my entire phone and did a factory reset - no change though. My Facebook widget did not return and I did still cannot get my Contacts to sync with the Facebook app downloaded from the Market, so I am in the same position as before.
All I want to do is to link some of my contacts who are on Facebook with their Facebook profile as I did before with no extra apps. Until very recently, I had the HTC Facebook widget, the Android Facebook widget and syncing contacts. Suddenly, my HTC Widget has mysteriously gone. I've written to HTC to see what they say.
had this problem recently, tried all the usual advice etc. only thing that worked was fcontactssync. you can uninstall it once you've linked everything.
hope this helps..
Thank you will try this next time. However, the day after I sent this message, weirdly my contacts all synced back again to Facebook! They hadn't done this for weeks! However, I did contact HTC and the Facebook for Android Developmer about my problem so maybe that haed something to do with this working again. Someone else I know haad the same problem which corrected on the same day as me!
okay so I was posting the other day asking about uninstalling system apps and unrooting, thanks guys I was able to unroot my phone and return it back to verizon and get a new one.
The reason I had to return it was I was having a contacts glitch. I could dial out just fine, but if I went to my contacts and clicked a name, my phone would force close.
so I get my new phone, sync my account, root it, and check the contact list, it works ! sweet so now its time to get to work. under your advice instead of un-installing like I did the last time I went to titanium backup to FREEZE all the bloatware. Im pretty sure I tried my contacts again and it works fine. then I spend the rest of last night installing my launchers, games, tools, got rom toolbox changed my lcd density to 280, change my boot animation, and disable some apps from starting on boot,then went to the applications tab and disabled further autostart functions. I didn't try using my contacts because this was around 2am . but I woke up today and I now have the same problem. I can dial out fine, but if I open the contacts and try to choose one, or if I type in a number and even try to add to contacts , contacts FC's. Oh I should add, when I want to send a text message it is no problem I open the text message home, click the + icon and type a contacts name and I can stat a conversation no problem. anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

I am absolutely perplexed! anyone think they know what could be causing it?
EDIT: Okay so I did some researching and this appears to be a fairly prominent problem with moto Blur going back to the droid X etc...the fix was to go into /system/app and rename BlurContactSync.apk to BlurContactSync.bak ...now everything works perfect. credit goes to
droidforums.net/forum/tech-issues-bug-reports-suggestions/153062-contacts-wont-display-droid-x-w-gingerbread.html
The app that was most likely causing the crashing was the Yahoo Mail Authenticator. Droidforums had a few posts about it. Renaming the sync probably bypasses the authenticator.

Are you experiencing the contact force close only when all apps are frozen? I had issues with the Verizon Backup Assistant goofing with my contact list.

I had the same issue until I unfroze Yahoo Mail Authenticator.
I am not sure I want to go renaming files yet until a recovery is available so I will just leave that one item unfroze.

well the good thing about renaming the file is I am able to rename it back just as easy as un freezing . so I actually just renamed my blurcontactssync back to apk from .bak and unfroze yahoo mail authenticator and it is working great thanks for the tip!
In my opinion, stay away from Backup-Assistant. I've had nothing but trouble with it, everything from not backing up correctly, to poor restores that rendered my data useless. There is another program out there I use for this. Super Manager. It works for my application, and I would recommend it if you are still having trouble.
