Has anyone tried syncing with their Google Apps account?
I get all my contacts and email (Gmaill app) properly, however, I only get the "main" / default calendar in my Calendar app. Normal Google.com (xxx at gmail dot com, accessed through calendar.google.com) calendars work fine.
For example in my Google.com account, I have:
- Friends
- Gym
- Work
All these appear (in addition to the default xxx at gmail dot com calendar) in my Calendar app under Settings->Calendars and are labelled w/ xxx at gmail dot com. However, in my Google apps account (xxx at mydomain dot com, accessed through calendar dot mydomain dot com) I have:
- Work
- Thesis
- Other Academics
I don't have any of these listed in the Calendar app, even after syncing countless times. I only have one calendar from the domain: the default xxx at mydomain dot com.
Syncing with this calendar works fine and it sends updates both ways, however I can't see my other calendars being listed.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Actually I also have the same problem. It seems like google confuses between the personal google account and the google apps user account. For example. I cant access my subscriptions using gogle reader because all my rss subscriptions are in my personal google account and i dont know how to switcj between the two.
When I logged into the domain admin for my Google Apps account, it seems Google is opening up Google Apps accounts for access to most of the rest of their services, however I didn't see Android in there.
I wanted to try out whether setting up my first account (factory reset, etc) using the Google Apps account would fix it but I didn't want to wipe out everything I have right now.
Bump.
Anyone?
I finally had the chance to try out and set up the Google Apps account as my primary account since I did a full wipe + factory reset + flash on my tab today, to no avail.
Still a Google Apps account only shows 1 calendar.
Strange... I've set up my private and apps accounts and everything works great for me...
My private gmail account has several calendars, as does the apps account, and everything works fine, I can see all the events from all the chosen calendars...
I used the Accounts & sync settings to setup the accounts.
Well that's weird, maybe there's something wrong with my Google Apps configuration, I'll check with another account. But then again I've tried setting all the possible sharing and privacy settings appropriately just to test but nay.
I also used the Accounts and Sync settings to set up the account.
Okay, I can confirm there is something wrong with my Galaxy Tab built-in Calendar App.
For the sake of testing I downloaded several different Calendar apps from the Market and all of them can see the Calendars I have from my Google Apps account.
There was this app called Business Calendar that showed me the actual calendar IDs of each calendar and I can confirm they match the ones listed in my Google Apps account.
The moment I check it and add it to the list of Calendars displayed by Business Calendar, and I switch to the Calendar app that came on the Tab, the Calendars were listed in Menu->Settings->Calendars and turning them on worked properly.
I'm guessing there's something wrong with the built-in Calendar app? Maybe some issue with Calendar Storage or something. Everything works now but it sucks that I have to launch Business Calendar, sync, and enable it from there before seeing it in the built-in Calendar app.
Again, anyone have this issue?
I have the exact same problem. I did as you did, installed Business Calendars and it showed my 3 Google calendars all OK. They then showed up in the default calendar program. Canadian tab bought in Calgary.
had a similar problem with several of my google calendars showing up as being synced but no data from the calendar was being synced. I tried messing with pushing the calendar storage from my vibrant to my tab and it got stuck in a force close loop. I also tried to delete all the calendar entries which subsequently deleted all my future google calendar entires. After reimporting from a backup I made before I deleted it showed up on my tab.
Yeah, me 2, and some one suggested to add these two services, which are
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and,
GoogleServicesFramework
has anyone tried this? Does this work?

Hi I just received my galaxy, so possible a NOOB problem.
The problem is that I have a google calendar, and on my phone it sees both the appointments I have done on the phone and the google appointments - so this is fine.
If I make a appointment via a computer at the net on the google calendar, then it will show up on the phone calendar - this is fine.
BUT if I make an appointment on the phone - it will not show up on the google calendar on the net.
It seems like the phone uses "My Calendar" which is not synced with the google calendar - so have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you did the calender mark did you choose google calender and not the phone calender?? take a close look so u have choose that before apply the appointment/mark in the cal. when you set the day/clock under that you can choose what calender to use....I missed that too...
Ok thanks - found the setting.
Is it possible to change the behaviour, so that when you make an appointment on the phone it is by default using the google calendar and not the phone calendar?
I dont think you can set it as default..not sure. With some app maybe? I just have my Galaxy for 4 days so everything is new
Thanks, compared to me you are very experienced (had mine for 1 day)
I would also be interested in a way to change the default.
Additionally I'd like to have the automatically created birthday events appear in one of my Google calendars, not in the phone calendar. Has anybody an idea on how to do that?
It says "with Google" on the phone, if I'm selling my soul to Google, at least I'd like to do it completely and thoroughly.
I'm syncing with my Yahoo Calendars, my 2 Gmail account Calendars
also contact from those 3 accounts too, and IM from MSN, google, yahoo, tweeter, facebook
this phone is Amazing! at keeping everything in sync
just make sure on the account page your accounts are all with the Green sync circle
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 !!!
I have searched for a solution for syncing my various calendars on my Google account and I have not found a solution yet.
Currently I can sync my main Google calendar, Contact's birthdays and US Holidays but not my Dallas Mavericks calendar. I don't know how it misses it. Is there a limit on how many calendars that can be synced on one Google account?

There is no limit.
Go into the default Calendar application... Menu > Settings > Calendars (is the first option, under View Settings). If it's not there, then you most likely do not have access to the calendar on the account that you're logged in to on your phone.
I tried that.

Actually I have done this. I can see my basic Google calendar as well as "#[email protected]" and "en.usa#[email protected]" all of which i have selected on the web-based Google calendar.
I just can't find out how to get the Google calendars I have selected on the web to show up in my Android calendar.
I have rooted my Fire HD (currently on 7.2.2 and re-rooted after the update) and followed various threads to install Play and the bits required to sync properly with Google (gmail.apk/googleLoginService.apk/GoogleServiceFramework.apk/Vending.apk/GPlay3.8.17.apk)
I have the Google calendar app as well as the Amazon app and use Business Calendar as my main calendar app.
I also have a load of calendars - family and work etc - and they all sync.
However, after the device has been screen off for a while it "looses" the Google calendars - it keeps the Exchange ones though. If I go into the Google calendar app and the "Calendars to be displayed" bit it shows just the Exchange ones. Click on "Calendars to be synced" and just the Exchange ones. Click OK then "Calendars to be synced" and the Google account shows up. Click on it a couple of times and the calendars show up as not synced. Select all the ones I want and save. Still do not show. Go back into "Calendars to be synced" and back out and they are all there. All show up in Business Calendar as well. All sync properly.
Until it is screen off for a while. Then it is back to square one.
Guess it might be related to the issues others were having with GTalk dropping but it seemed a bit odd.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a stock rooted HD+ and I have synced my gmail account to my calendar. However I have several calendars attached to my gmail account and only my main calendar events show (none of the other shared calendar events show up). I have searched the forum and couldn't seem to find an answer. I've tried downloading Google Calendar, Business Calendar as well as the stock calendar, but all just show the main calendar events. In my GS3, I can go into the calendar setting and select what calendars show, under my gmail account, I see all my shared calendars, However I don't have that option with the HD+. Does any one have a solution?
Thanks!
