Hi, I am a new android user. I am having problem getting my google calendar (web) to sync with the phone. It doesn't show the option for me to select and sync the calendar with my google account. By the way I have 2 google account. Once is for random junk and the other is for school. So far the the captivate only lets me sync the Calendar with the junk account but not the other account for school. I tried removing the account and adding it again it would only let me sync mail and contacts but no calendar option. I was thinking of removing my junk account but it says that I need to do a factory restore which I don't want to do. Has anyone run into this problem? I search but couldn't find anything similar.
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?

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.
This is my first Android phone and I'd like to sync my S-Planner calendar with my gmail account but I can't get it to work.
On the Note I go S-Planner>settings>calendars and check "My calendar" and the email account. Then >Calendar sync>Sync all.
My Agenda items should appear in the calendar on gmail right? But they don't. Can anyone help please?
There are other threads on this - you should've searched the forums first (as per the rules)
In an attempt to help, just from recollection, My Calendar IS the local phone calendar and can only be synced via Kies. If you want to sync with google then you need to use your google account calendar instead. In S-Planner settings untick My Calendar and tick the calendar for your google account. All appointments should now be added to your google account and sync with google's servers. Obviously you'll have to add your entries again Or work out how to move them.

Thank you. Yes, of course I checked other posts, but I couldn't find anyone who couldn't sych at all and who was able to identify a reason that I hadn't already explored, hence the question. As a teacher I know the joy of sharing knowledge, so thank you for your help.
Hi all,
tried a search but had no results for my particular question.
The thing is: I would want to use the GMail app for a specific account. But I'm afraid the Google account I use in GMail will pop up in other apps such as Market and such. So: when I add an account to GMail is that account used in _only_ GMail or will it be stored as a Google account on the device?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
