Default Calender app not syncing with Google Calender?

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.

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.

[Q] Problem with Manual Refresh on Calendar Sync on Froyo

A temporary solution will be presented at the end of this post.
PDA: I9000 XXJPO
PHONE: I9000 XXJPP
CSC: I9000 OXAJPO
I have two seemingly identical Factory unlocked UK-bought SIM-free models, both on official Froyo through Kies, flashed with Speedmod 341 Kernel with No-RTF Advanced lagfix applied through Kernel's in-build Sztupy's Universal Fix. Both rooted through ChainFire's tool.
If Automatic Syncing is NOT activated (saves battery and helps control traffic), then after updating the Calendar events on Samsung these updates DO NOT appear on web Google Calendar. If Automatic Syncing is ON - ALL IS FINE ON BOTH PHONES.
This needs further clarification, as two phones behave differently.
Problem No. 1: When Calendar is open and events edited WHEN BOTTOM LEFT SENSOR BUTTON PRESSED:
A. First phone gets 6 choices to choose from (Search, Create, Go to, Today, Delete, Settings).
B. Second phone gets 7 choices (Search, Create, Go to, Today, Delete, and MORE, which when pressed OPENS Choices: Settings and REFRESH).
FIRST REQUEST: Help on how to get REFRESH button among the choices on the First phone would be greatly appreciated.
Problem No. 2: When REFRESH button is pressed, nothing happens (it behaves as if something does happen, but it does not), i.e. the CALENDAR DOES NOT SYNC. Same thing happens with Calendar Widget - when Sync symbol is pressed it does not actually Sync. When similar refresh button is pressed for E-mails, they DO sync. If you follow the path of Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Choose your account from Manage Accounts -> Sync Calendar, the CALENDAR DOES SYNC.
SECOND REQUEST: Help on how to force Sync from the Calendar REFRESH button in the same manner as the "Sync Calendar" from the path above does.
On each of the phones I have more than one GMail account Synced. The one that has "Refresh" opiton has the GMail account listed at the top of the list, the one that does not - lists the Gmail account with the calendar as second in the list (not sure if that makes a difference for the , have not tested it). Also, the calendars from the two accounts on different phones are Shared (but that works ok after a bit of finetuning and tweaking).
Ideas: Clearly, the REFRESH button is not performing the same as "Sync Calendar", so the first idea was to make it do just that. However, I am not clever enough to do that (as well as not clever enough to figure out how to make the REFRESH button appear on the other phone). My first idea was to create some kind of a macro and assign it to the button. I found that "Tasker" may be able to create a macro-type sequence, however, since it is a paid app, it does not even appear on my Market choices. And even if it did, I would not have a clue as to how to assign it to that specific particular REFRESH button. Or, for that matter, how to get the REFESH button appear on the 1st phone. (See request 1).
WORKAROUND:
The only solution I have found so far is beta free app on Market called Synker. It appears as a Widget on Home Screen and allows to force sync all apps that need syncing. And it automatically picks up some of the common android apps and allows you to configure what you want syncing (e.g. contacts, e-mail, calendar etc.). That has good and not so good side effect due to one and the same reason: it syncs everything thet you've pre-set in a configuration. So, when you are checking your e-mails and updating calendar, you press Synker button before you start (to get them all updated to your phone), respond to e-mails, edit appointments etc, and press Synker button after, to get those e-mails sent from your phone and get the Calendar updated on the web. That is excellent. However, if you just looked at your Calendar to make a couple of changes, you do not want Synker to go through all of your 5 e-mail accounts, Facebook and Calendar to do the job.
Yes, it is possible to configure Synker to just update Calendar entries (which, really, should be done through Calendar's native Refresh button), but then you are deprived of the excellent functionality of this app to update all at once. And, for some reason, it is not possible to put two same Widgets with different settings, as practice shows. So, for now, for me it's the less efficient syncing of everything through Synker on any update, but, hopefully, with a little help from you, the Calendar's REFRESH button can be 1. forced to appear and 2. be fixed!

As the developer of Synker, I just wanted to note… Synker should allow for multiple widgets with different accounts/setting. I double checked this on an EVO and a Galaxy Tab after reading your post… If this isn’t working for you send me an email so we can look into it…

Thank you for the reply (and for the app!) : just re-checked, it DOES work! It is a good workaround and a great app in its own merit, which I would use for general syncing even if the problem described was fixed.

Calendar events not showing up

Hi,
My wife has a motorola milestone and since yesterday the events she has on her google calendar are no longer showing up. If she sets up a new event on the cellphone it stays there and they are even copied to the google calendar, but the ones from the google calendar do not show up at all. I've already went to settings, accounts and made sure her google account was checked as well as auto-synch. I've also forced synching and even though it finished synching properly the google events still don't show up. I don't have a milestone so my knowledge is limited to the general android platform.
Any thoughts?

I did some tests:
- I've created an event ON the phone and forced synching and it did show up on the google calendar on my laptop.
- I've created an event ON my laptopss' google calendar and forced synching on the phone and it did show up on the phones' calendar.
The older events and events that repeat no longer show up on the phone although they are still on google calendar.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Calendar - Ghost entry

Hello,
Searched for my question but couldn't find specific or similar thread.
Situation:
1. I have a Captivate with Stock 2.2 and from last 2 days on Cognition 4.4.6
2. I maintain my calendar tracking in MS Outlook and sync it with Google Calendar using Google Calendar Sync software (set to sync every 120 minutes).
3. I use CalWidget app to display the Google calendar on home screen (not that this point is important)
Problem & steps taken:
About 2 months back I had created a recurring event in MS Outlook (basically to remind myself to pay my rent - called getRent) and by mistake set the recurrence to daily rather than first day of the month. After sometime, I saw on my phone that I set the recurrence incorrectly.
I realized the error and set the recurrence right in MS Outlook. It did sync properly with Google Calendar. Now the Outlook and Google Calendar do show the event occurrence correctly to be once a month but when I see it on my phone, it still has daily occurrence.
When I see the event details for getRent on phone Calendar, in 'Repeat' attribute, it says 'Custom...(cannot customize on phone)'
I delete the event series from phone but the next time the phone syncs, the ghost entry shows up again.
I tried removing the sync between my google account and phone completely and resynced but it happened again.
Any suggestions? Am I missing anything ?

[Q] Moto Assist working with multiple calendars?

Since last update, Assist lets you choose more than one calendar to trigger meeting mode. In my phone, though, it only works for the main calendar.
I've already checked the requeriments for an event to trigger meeting:
is from a calendar visible on device
is from a calendar that you are the owner
has been accepted
is not deleted
is not cancelled
is not all day (all day event box checked) or duration < 24
Meetings where you’re marked as “Available” will not trigger meeting mode
(from https://motorola-global-portal.cust...swer_detail/a_id/94933/p/30,6720,8696#meeting)
My events respect all points in that list.
The only thing that bugged is the "is from a calendar that you are the owner" requirement. I realised all calendars I create are not "as mine" as the main calendar is... Even though I created it through google.com/calendar, in the settings all calendars (except the main one) have a "cancel subscription" option, like it isn't really mine. But that's so weird...
Anyone having the same problem?

Hi, I have the same problem here, I also noticed in my calender that the 'not default' ones I can also 'unsubscribe' to. Even when I create a new one, I can unsubscribe. So I'm thinking that is indeed the problem. Question is, how do we solve it. I've been searching the internet for a solution to make myself owner of the calender, whithout results. Anyone of you who knows how we can do this?

I'm having the same problem. I left a comment on the Play Store to see if that might elevate the issue. It's frustrating that it's been this way for almost a month now.

I'm having the same issue as well.. I opened a thread in the Motorola forums as well but still no resolution ...
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/386638fc4c

I called Motorola support and they suggested a hard reset (not sure what they think that will solve but whatever I tried it anyway because the dude insisted that might fix it...). Surprise, hard reset did nothing. Then the guy said the ONLY other solution he had was to do a factory reset... ughhh.
Ok. Fine.
Backed up all my stuff, factory reset. annnndddddd....
Nothing. Assist still doesn't trigger a meeting from any of my other calendars. I'm gonna give Moto a call again but I suspect they will be no help. I think we're probably gonna have to live without it until they actually listen and realize the feature is broken and update with a fix.
Has anybody else had any luck getting this to work with multiple calendars?

I did some troubleshooting tonight since I was also having the problem reported here. Turns out, I can only trigger Assist using events in the first calendar in each account. My accounts have multiple calendars (for different projects at work), but any events on those additional calendars are ignored regardless of the fact that I checked them off in the Assist settings for which calendars to use. For me, the solution was to put events that require silence into the first calendar of the account. Assist seems to treat that as the primary calendar; other calendars are seen as if they're not owned by the account.

The latest version of Assist (2.3.15) seems to have solved this issue. Secondary calendars are working again for me now.
