[Q] Cannot sync Gmail calendar...can anyone help? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody
MY GF has an SGS, and recently she added a new calendar to her gmail. However, it wouldn't sync with her phone. All the other calendars were fine, but this new one would never even appear in her calendar options.
We've had a look at lots of forums, but all the solutions we tried didn't work.
Recently, we cleared the calendar data from her phone, but now none of the calendars will sync: they don't even appear in the stock calendar app.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this please? We thought about deleting her gmail account form her phone and setting it up again, but of course, it won't let us.
I was thinking of setting up a random gmail account...adding that to her phone, deleting her old gmail, and then adding it again. Does anyone think this will work?
Many thanks for advice you may give me

If you are on stock try seeing if you can run the set up apk, or some such similarly named app worth a try

any luck? let us know, i like a happy ending dont forget the thnks button if i helped

try to reinstal it to the stock... maybe the difference here...

No luck at all I'm afraid
Managed to add a random gmail account, but still it won't let me remove the original one, due to "Some applications still using it"
Does anyone know where I can find the setup apk? I had a browse but I can't find it ...
Thanks again for all your help

Well I answered it! Haha I might be able to help you out here too.
I recently encountered a problem with Super User not connecting to anything, and what I did was just re-flash the ROM right on top of what was already running. It won't wipe anything, besides a theme, and it also works by re-installing the stock apps. Data is never lost, but sometimes it resolves problems within apps.
What it sounds like is that your IM app isn't connecting to data services. Try all EDGE/3G/WiFi connections. If that's a no go, re-install the app with a re-flash of the ROM. If that STILL doesn't work, wipe and re-flash.
Let me know how that goes :]

Alright, cool. Personally, I would give up on the Stock app and switch to one of the other countless IM apps on the market, because they're constantly updated and quite frequently have more features to offer, but that's just my opinion :].

i like buddymob so far. only really have had it for a few days now since i became more concerned with my default IM app problem. ebuddy looked good but didnt provide a seamless way to use it as a im app that was constantly on and connected via the phone. like no taskbar icon or nothin

You won't be able to get it from the market, but you can unzip any build with it in it and drop the app on your SD card and install with an App manager program.
That's odd, you might want to try re-installing the app then :].

Calendar sync not working on G1 with Cyanogen 4.0.2

Hi , I hope someone will be able to help me:
I have a rooted G1 which runs Cyanogen 4.0.2 ROM, before this one 4.0.1.
Everything went fine until yesterday or the day before, when I noticed my calendar wasn't up to date anymore. I connected the G1 to my pc and started 'adb logcat', this is what is logged when trying to sync the calendar:
(note that I have replaced my real email with [email protected] for privacy reasons)
Code:
D/SyncManager( 146): failed sync operation authority: calendar account: [email protected] extr
delay: 0 key: {authority: calendar account: [email protected] extras: [force=true ]} rowId: 1
After some searching I found this problem mentioned before but no concrete solution to this...
I've tried clearing the calendar cache as described here to no avail.
I also tried a complete system wipe but the same problem persisted.
To make sure that it wasn't something at the google server I fired up my HTC magic which is still running stock software, and it synced fine right away.
So this definitely has to do something with my G1, only if anyone could point me in the right direction...
BTW:
Gmail and contacts sync goes just fine!
Thnx in advance!
Cyanogen calendar sync...
Hi all,
Exact same problem here, HTC Magic. I am new to the hacking, rooting, cracking in the android world but installing Cyanogen 4.0.2 was very easy with recovery flasher. ( http://gizmodo.com/5341915/android-hacking-for-the-masses)
I can not speak for any other versions but this version is great except for the sync of Google calendar. This also explained why my battery did not last for a day while is was doing nothing much. Calendar kept syncing without result but was trying all the time.
I hope that Cyanogen can fix this and if he can not or will not that's ok with me. I a happy that there are people who can make things better than they originally were. Good job! However calendar is important to me so perhaps i will switch to another ROM.
@bunster:
Are getting the same error when start 'adb logcat'?
Thanks for mentioning the battery life part, mine had bad battery live to but I failed to make the link to the sync problem, I was on the verge of replacing my battery LOL!
Just upgrade to 4.0.3.1 this morning, problem persisted
@Bunster: Are you using google hosted apps or a regular gmail account?
Because a colleague of mine also has Cyanogen 4.0.2 running on his G1, and his calendar syncs fine, the only difference is that he's using a regular gmail account while I'm using hosted apps account...
I have the same problem.
Previously with JF 1.5 the same calendar of my google account was syncing just fine.
Hope there is a solution soon..

Are you running google apps or regular gmail account?
Updated to 4.0.4, problem not gone...
I found something else:
When looking at the logcat output there's a URL in there which points to one of my calendars (there are URL's for each of my calendars - 5 in total). And when I try to enter this URL into my browser, it tells me that '[email protected]' doesn't have the necessary rights to view that calendar.
However I am the admin of my domain so I should be able to view all my calendars...

I found that this is a known bug of the rom after version 3.*.* ... so we can only wait.

Where did you find this?
Like I said a colleague of mine has 4.0.2 on his G1 and he doesn't have any calendar sync problems...
There has to be something else involved...

Yeah, nothing good however...
Check this link.
It's an issue that has been file on the GoogleCode page for CyanogenMod ROM.
If look at Steve's (=Cyanogen) post you'll see what i mean:
4.0.4 won't be updated. Any calendar/sync related issues for the next release should
be reported as an Android (Google) bug.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So he's basically saying it's not his fault but a Calendar bug and we have to take it up with Google.
Google off course won't do sh*t about this since it works perfectly on stock ROMs and even other custom ROMs.
As a software developer/tester I can understand that this bug is situated in the Calendar app itself, and since Cyanogen received the C&D letter from Goog he can't/does not want to modify and/or distribute this app.
However, since this only occurs on his ROM, it must be something he did that triggers this bug. So what I'd like to see from Cyanogen, isn't a fix in the calendar app, but rather a workaround in his ROM...
I've read that deleting all recurring events will 'fix' the problem, however that's not an option for me since I use a seperate calendar to store all birthday dates for friends and family in (birthdays being off course yearly recurring events, under normal conditions )
I hope Cyanogen reads this and will provide a fix somehow.
As I said i'm a software developer and I know it's f*ucking frustrating if you have to deal with other people's mess, but I think it's clear we shouldn't expect a fix from Google on this one...
so let's hope only in a cyanogen work... it seems to be the only solution for continue to use this fantastic rom with the calendar sync...
4.2.4

Nope, see the link I posted earlier.
Cyanogen is not planning to fix this, he blames Google.

That's a depressing reply.
How its possible that some ppl can sync and some not?
Is there any other application which sync the calendar?

MIUI Rom and whatsapp contacts bug

Hello there
I've just installed miui rom and I really like it the only problem is
Whatsapp is unable to find any of my contacts don't know why !!
Although it appears just fine in other apps ..
I wish there is a fix for this thing cause really like miui look and u also can't live without whatsapp :"(
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
I would try fixing permissions from ROM manager.
Unfortunately that didn't help :"(
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Ok well in that case I would try wiping cache and data from whatsapp then if that doesn't work try uninstalling/reinstalling it.
Already done it .. no luck
Is it just me or every body have the same thing !
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Not everybody but yes it is a very common issue. Now sorry but I guess there is nothing to do unless you want to maybe try a clean install but I'm not even sure that is going to fix it.
i have the same problem with MIUI on Milestone. I found the only way to solve for my device is to add international code before normal phone numbers for the contacts. It sucks!!! Finally revert to stock rom!!
have the exact same problem . please someone comeup with fixing the bug. i want to use the miui rom and whatsapp.
I fixed it by tagging all the contacts to "my contacts " label .. and it worked
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
That actually did the trick. Thanx!
I had my contacts sorted in groups as well; deleting it all from the common my contacts-folder. A logical decision because this way there wouldn't be duplicates in my Gmail Contacts.
U know... I googled this but no solutions to be found. Of course I had to check with XDA first. Maybe Google should scan XDA a lot more often, 'cause solutions are always here

[Q] Slowly losing all notifications!!!

Can someone please help me? I have slowly lost all my notifications! The only way I get them is when I actually open the apps. It has been going on for a few months now. It started with my Yahoo Mail, then Word with Friends, also my local news station's weather alerts, now Facebook! Not sure if it has anything to do with it but I have been running AOSP's aospCMod Gingerbread ROM but I have recently switched to CyanogenMod 7 GingerBread. It happened on both. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Have you gone into Settings/Accounts and Sync and made sure that everything is turned on? I have gone back to roms sand found that Gmail (for instance) wasn't checked to be synced. How often do you have syncing set to in the app/s itself? i set a lot of mine to never, so you might want to look into that also if you haven't already.
Good luck!

[Q] Facebook contact sync in Jellybean?

Hi!
I've been searhing around a bit, but couldn't find any proper soloution to fix Facebook contact sync in JB.
I've tried Facebook HaxSync with the workaround, but doesen't sync phone numbers, so the purpose of it all is kind of lost then.
I read some places that som ROMs have this feature built in? I'm currently running SlimBean 2.6, and It doesn't appear to have this feature.
The only flashable zip fix I found was for a HTC phone or something. A guy running SlimBean 2.5 on SII tried it, and it didn't work, so I guess it's not working on the note either.
So, does anyone know of a working solution for Note running Jellybean?
