Tonight my Google calendar events in every calendar bar the default calendar stopped appearing in the phone. I can still see them in Google calendar via the web browser but they no longer appear in the calendar app. I've checked all the settings within calendar and the various Google calendars still appear there and are ticked to sync and show in the app but events from other calendars do not. Any ideas?
I had the same problem before. I fixed it by following the instructions from the quote below. This is from the google mobile help forum posted by BSteck. You should backup your default (on the phone) calendar before doing this.
Don't know if this is the best way to solve the problem, but this has worked for me.
On my HTC Phone (running Android 2.2), I went to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Calendar Storage. I then pushed "Clear Data" and then "Force Stop" (because I wanted it to reload).
The phone paused for a brief moment when returning to Home and then the calendar was syncing to my gmail calendars. I figure that as long as all your information is backed up at gcal, you should be fine. Good luck!

Thanks. That worked.
No problem =]
Dunno why this happens but at least this fixes the issue. Annoying when you don't have calendars showing up.

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.
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 !!!
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, XDAers!
I updated my MM2 to Stock Android 2.3.6 and everything was working as well...
But I think I found a little bug in facebook (apk) contacts sync:
I just installed the app via Market and logged in, but for my surprise it doesn't show in Accounts > Other Accounts (as Twitter or even LinkeIn does) and sync is not working. (PS. not the Motoblur thing).
I tryed reinstall facebook app, reflash sbf, wipe data, restore factory defaults, santeria...
No success!
And there's no option in facebook app settings like in 2.2
Someone else can confir this bug, or is just me?
Well, yesterday I noticed the Facebook icon was shown in Accounts > Other Accounts, but when I clicked it, nothing happened... Thought it was a bug of Blur, so I took wipe data / factory reset and created a new Blur account.
Now, I noticed the icon is there and working (I've tested it)
Thank you for post it... I'll set up Facebook contacts from Facebook app instead from Blur (it has a lot of sync bugs)
--------------------------------------
EDIT: seems that there is no way to sync Facebook contacts using Facebook's own application. seems that the only function of the Facebook icon in Accounts > Other Accounts is just log into Facebook application. the only way to perform this task seems to be using the MOTOBlur.
Use Contact Sync For Facebook, is the best for me! If you talk about the same app sorry...
But there 2 apps Facebook Contact Sync and Contact Sync for Facebook, the second choice is best, but didn't have the options to sync automatically

I got the same problem in Retail rom, and then i've installed this app, worked pretty well ! thnks
I'm running Nova HD Plus RC6-15 on my LG O2X.
I noticed that my calendar isn't syncing. It's completely empty on my LG O2X.
So I checked the account & sync status and it had syncing errors on the browser and calendar.
Removed the account. Added it again. Sync started but still no data in my calendar. Gmail is working just fine.
When I go to Calendars in the app and click on the button to choose which calendars to sync it crashes (calendar is stopped).
The thing that strikes me is that under synchronization settings there are several syncs running: Browser, Contacts, Documents etc. All doing fine. The one that isn't working is the Calendar but the name is off. It's called com.android.calendar sync whereas the others have proper names.
Is my calendar app corrupted or something? Is there a way to fix that?
The other thing I noticed is that the mobile version of my google Calendar is empty as well. When I switch to the desktop version I can see the data.
Bit of a weird problem so all help and ideas are appreciated!
Solved my own problem by checken loads of other calendar sync topics.
Found this one somewhere, and it works!
To everyone with sync problems (calendar). when installing CM9 you have to first flash the rom then gapps AND BEFORE YOU REBOOT WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. This will fix calendar sync.
