Bizarre Calendar problem - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my Samsung Captivate's calendar.
I have a 'Work' Calendar that isn't displaying on my phone but displays perfectly fine on Google Calendar on the web. I went into settings and 'Work' is checked off so it should display, but when I go to my Calendar app it is strangely missing. I think this isn't a problem with syncing but rather an app issue. I've tried checking and unchecking, rebooting, creating a 'Work' event (which works but still won't display any of the other 'Work' events I have down), etc but still this one essential calendar won't display in app. Any ideas?
Many thanks!

[Q] Syncing calendar with facebook events, but times of events are wrong

The dates from facebook that go into my calender are showing up in my calender a few hours off. Ive tried other calendars, and it doesnt seem to help. Right now im using Pure Calender. An event on facebook that starts at 4pm is showing up on my device as 9am. Anyone know whats going on? Ive already tried messing with the timezone on my computer and facebook.
It's a timezone problem with Facebook. The only solution I've found is directly importing my FB events to google calender and just getting them from there.
How do you import the facebook events into google? I think I need to mention that the times only show up incorrect when they are on a widget calender that I have placed on my home screen. The actual calender itself shows them correctly, just the widgets ive used show them hours off.
I have this issue when syncing the TouchWiz calendar with Google calendar. My times is off by one hour, so I checked the timezone settings on both the phone and google's, but none of them were the issue. I still haven't found a solution.
I also replaced the Touchwiz calendar with the stock android calendar, but I still have the same issue.
Any other ideas?
I have same issue on my HTC Desire (2.2). Would be cool if Facebook added time-zone functionality for their events, or if someone made it possible to chose an off-set on your device for Facebook events before importing them into calendar.
You can export Facebook events and/or birthdays and import them into Google calendar with FB application called Fdcal (it has time-zone option). Application is not working flawlessly, I got my events to show into Google calendar, but couldn't export birthdays for some reason.
But this will not solve your issues, because there was no way I could get those events to show on my phone. In Gemini calendar you get an option to check on those additional calendar subscribed on your Google one, but they don't show in my phone either for some reason.
The only workaround I found so far is that once those event show in Google calendar, you can easily duplicate them (save them as Google calendar entries), and those will show once the sync kicks in.
I'm waiting for someone to come up with easier solution

i'm having the same issue, the event is 8 hrs late when it appear in my SGS calendar
Has anyone already solved this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my SGS and the XXJPO firmware.
Well I haven't done anything, but problem IS solved on my HTC Desire for quite some time now. Can't say exactly when it was fixed (or if it was fixed by HTC or Facebook), but event times in my stock calendar that is synced with Facebook are now ok.
On my Touchwiz-Calendar it's working fine, too.
Just in every calendar widget I tried so far, the facebook events are shifted by one hour.
So I am in the time zone GMT+1 but the event gets displayed like I would be in GMT+0.
As a workaround I switched the time zone in my phone to GMT+0, so now the times for the fb-events are correct, but this is causing other problems now.

[Q] Google Calendar Sync Issues??

Just noticed that some events established through Google Calendar on the desktop are not syncing to the One. Most events are syncing -- seems to be sporadic and random - I can't see a pattern to the events being omitted.
I discovered the problem when I checked on a reminder I set up during May 2014 as an all day event which did not sync over to the One. I started to poke around and noticed that another event during that same month didn't come over to the phone either. So it isn't just a one time thing. I tried clearing calendar data from the phone and resyncing, turning the phone off and on, deleting and re-adding the event - I even deleted and reimported all my events for the entire calendar through the desktop version, cleared calendar data on the phone and resynced. Still the same certain events that are established in Google Calendar on the desktop are not syncing to the phone.
The final twist is that they are syncing correctly to my iPad calendar. This is what leads me to believe that it is a problem on the phone side.
Anyone else noticing something amiss with some calendar events around a year out not syncing to their phone?
(Also tested using the Google Calendar App in addition to the HTC stock app - same problem regardless of the calendar app)

[Q] Recurring Calendar Entries

hi,
i seem to have an issue with creating recurring calendar entries on my z3c.
using the built-in calendar app or 3rd party apps, i can create a calendar entry but as soon as i make it recurring, it doesn't show up.
does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong ? can someone test creating a recurring appointment on their z3c ?
thanks in advance
Im not sure it helps but it works perfectly for me.
I can only think it might have something to do with your google account sync? Have you set that up?
It might be completely unrelated. I cant think of anything else except maybe clear the data from calendar and restart
hi there,
thanks for taking the time to reply - much appreciated.
i sync my local device calendar (i.e not google) with another pc and the items have appeared on the sync'd calendar but still don't appear on my own device which is odd.
at least i know it's specific to my device rather than a z3c issue - thanks for that.
Hi
I have the same issue with my Z3. When I enter a recurring appointment, it doesnt show on the phone. It shows on every other device expect the Z3. Any solution?
Best regards
works fine for me as well.. could it be you create the recurring event in a calendar that is not selected to be displayed on your z3c ?
e.g. I have multiple calendars I sync with google, but I have selected several to not display on my device (they are synced though), maybe you have similar setup and post the new event to a device calendar by default that is selected to not display...
In my case, thats not the issue. I only use one calendar in Google. I've used the same calendar for years, on different phones, and in different apps, without any problems. The problem ocurred when switching to Sony Z3.

I believe the Sony has a "device" calendar though, that doesn't sync to google.. so chances are you are creating the event correctly in your google calendar, which is then synced to your other devices - but the sony is set to display the device calendar, which is obviously empty.. look into the left hand side pull-out menu on the sony calendar app and see which calendars are checked to display..

P10 Calendar problems

I like feature to get my phone in silent mode when in the meeting, which is automated in P10! But...
...I have a version of VTR-L09C432B113 and I'm facing a problem with calendar app. After few days of use, I believe my calendar DB get corrupted somehow as it works fine until then. I did clear cache and deleted account corporate calendar associated to it which did fix the problem (Google calendar events worked fine!). However, I face similar problem just after two days later (Now both google and corporate calendars are not visible anymore), plus app gets crashing. I also have a google calendar sync activated to the google account and I have read that other Huawei phones have had a different kind of problems with it. I also tried to install google calendar after 2nd-time problem occurred as a tryout and it seems that google app get crashing as well => which leads my assumption that problem is in the object where calendar events are stored or so.
Questions:
1) Could I just delete this calendar object (common for both apps?) which has meeting/event info in w/out re-creating account every 2 days&Clearing data? If yes, where it´s located and how could I do it?
2) is this known issue in Huawei P10 or other new models?
3) Do you know if "automatic silence"- feature in phone work with google calendar?
Thanks for info!

Synchronized Google Calendar with Galaxy Watch3?

Good afternoon:
I've recently acquired the new Samsung Galaxy Watch3 (Bluetooth variant) and ever since then I have been trying to find an app to synchronize my Google Calendar events. The idea is to have an app with all the agenda items (just like the features that the app "Calendar gear" provides, however that one does not seem compatible with this watch). An idea could be to have a notification pop up to the phone so that it could be relayed to the watch, but I was wondering if any of you knew any app that could do the work. I tried searching the store, but nothing seemed to be compatible with Google.
Thank you for your attention.
On my watch I can see all the Google Calendar events in the Calendar widget, without having done anything to make that happen. The events are automatically synced with the Calendar events of my phone. On my phone I choose in which calendar the event is entered (usually Google or Samsung). Events of both are appearing on my watch. Trying to understand your problem - is this not working the same way for you?
The same for me. I did nothing to have the calendar events appear.
Good morning to both of you:
Thank you very much for your replies, I will definitely try using the native calendar app. Is the synchronization automatic once bluetooth is activated or does it have to be done explicitly from the phone?
Thanks again
The synchronizarion is automatic once the watch is connected to your phone.
