Sometimes when I go to the calendar it is blank. Going to the Calendar app settings for my Google account, my calendars aren't listed. If I go to the main settings>apps>Calendar Storage and delete the data, I can then get the calendar back by going to the app and selecting refresh.
Any ideas why this is happening to me, but not my wife's N7? When this first happened I thought it was because I was using the QuickCalendar app so I deleted it. No joy.
BTW, my Bionic doesn't lose the calendar data--just the N7 loses it.

ANYONE? surely someone here as seen or heard of issues with the calendar app on the N7. ANY info is appreciated--I even created a secondary Google account to see if the N7 would lose it's calendar also. It does--just as often as my primary, which is many times per day.

Wife has exact same problem with calendar. It actually does the same thing with the contacts, which come back even less often then the calendar. Google cal and exchange accounts.
She tried calling the support number and the guy was clueless.
Haven't seen this and I use my N7 every day for calendaring stuffems.

I fixed it myself. didn't get any help from google forum. the fix was to reset the device. I told some folks about that in other forums, and when they reset THEIR devices, they too, got joy from the Calendar app.

Hey guys,
I was wondering, if anyone else has experienced this.
I use the HTC Calendar Agenda widget on one of my home screens, and sometimes it seems to never load entires. The calendar also does this at this the same time. The loading icon appears, but not entries ever appear. Anyone else got this problem?
Thanks
Lots of views, so I assume that no one else has had this problem? Any ideas for a solution.
I have had this problem aswell. I noticed a few times that it done it when the sync icon was displayed.
Will monitor this to see if it only happens when the handset is syncing.
Just seen my handset starting to sync again so i opened the Calendar and it has stopped at the Loading... screen again. So looks like it is waiting for the sync to finish before showing the agenda.
Is this the same with your handset?
Ok sync now finished. As soon as it finished the agenda displayed instantly.
I will need to check if it only happens when the phone is syncing or not. Thanks for the info though.
Hey guys, I will see if I can replicate and fix this problem. I can think of a few reasons it might happen so hopefully I can squeeze a fix into the next release.

I am confused. The next release of what exactly?
I am simply using the HTC Agenda widget, so I don't see how you can fix it?
Lol, sorry, I thought you meant Android Agenda Widget
I think it is still a bug in AAW so I will try and fix it anyways
I'm still getting problems with this if anyone can help?
i had this problem too, i deleted the calenda data and let it redownload events from gmail and now its is fine
Cool. Thanks mate. Is there a fast way of deleting all the data? Still fairly new to Android

I think the way to do it would be to goto your Account & Sync options and remove and re-add your google account.
Unless there is another way

actually the way i did it was go into settings, applications, find the calendar and select clear data
then just wait till it syncs to gmail and downloads all your events again

Just to update, i done this and all seems to be working fine for now.
My Facebook birthdays and events disappeared also and wouldn't come back, so i cleared my Facebook for HTC Sense data also and went through the setup wizard for Facebook again. After sync they all appeared again fine.
So far calendar is running smooth. Fingers crossed it continues.
I'm having an issue with email sync. In the email app, one of my email accounts will sync for a few days then just stop syncing. I don't notice it until it dawns on me that I haven't gotten new email in a while. It won't let me manually sync either. At the top, the last sync date will remain static showing a few days ago. I've deleted the account and then set it up again twice and that works for a few days, then it fails again. This is an old verizon.net account that I've never had issues with on any other device. Any thoughts?

With which email provider are you having trouble? Is it Verizon as well? (hoping that we can at least narrow down the problem...)
Thanks!
Also - Is everyone still using the stock email app, or are you having issues with another app too? I'm stock and am getting ready to try something different.

I run 4 separate email accounts (POP, IMAP, and Exchange, but not Verizon) and don't have any problems. The only thing I can think of that hasn't already been suggested is to clear the cache and/or data for the email app in the application manager. If this is an Exchange account clear the data/cache for the Exchange services app also.
I had an issue with the stock e-mail app not syncing properly with gmail. New e-mails would come in, but old ones that were read would not be marked as read. As such it had over 50 unread e-mails even though the gmail app or gmail website had 2 or 3.
I switched to K-9 Mail which works much better.

I think I'm going to have to end up running another email app as well.
That leads me to another quandary. K-9 won't do hotmail. Mailbox and Cloud Magic won't do anything but gmail and iCloud. I need to find something that can handle a hotmail (IMAP I think) account, a verizon POP3 account, and a Gmail account. Any thoughts?

Where I work, we have 5 Galaxy S5's and we have all experienced this issue. One of my users has it happen every Tuesday. This is only with the stock email app. Other apps seem fine, but that's ridiculous....it shouldn't be doing this.
Ok I've done some digging and can't seem to find anything with my exact problem.
Yes I have looked up duplicated read only contacts BUT everyone seems to have this issue with contacts synced from another app. Mine is no.
Got this baby this past Sunday (found out that I can upgrade 7 days early so of course I did it. Love the phone and think I will be okay without root. Got Helium backup to backup my data. Only thing left is for them to add a Restart in the power menu then I'll be fine with no Root. OH and they need to get Lolipop out ASAP)
But ever since then I've been having this issue. I've been having new contacts made, same name as a contact I have, but with not info (most of the time. Sometimes it has their number in it). Now here is where it gets weird.
They are Google contacts that it says are saved under my Gmail. I go to Gmail, No duplicated contacts there, I try to delete, says they are read only and can only hide, AND it seems like the contacts that are getting duplicated are contacts that I seem to call most often. I have all other apps and their contact sync turned off so I know it's not an issue with them, and since they are saved under Gmail and when I turn off the local Phone contacts they are still there so I know they are not local saved/SIM contacts.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I felt like I had this issue loooooong ago with another phone but pretty sure it was back when Facebook synced its contacts and I had to link them.
I'm a savvy guy and know my way around Android.
Thanks
Ok well i ended up getting it myself.
For people with this issue:
Turn off google contact sync. Then go to apps in settings and then look for the contact storage app. Force stoo the act and clean all data. Check contacts to make sure its empty. Then enable google contacts sync.

Contacts in Android are stored in a database, and as they come from multiple sources (synced from Google, Facebook, Whatsapp, LinkedIn and copied from SIM or stored as "local phone" contacts...) it's easy to have multiple instances of same contact with different info or even duplicates. Contacts app let you "join" multiple contacts from different sources so they will appear joined in your contacts list, but they will still be stored inidividually in the database.
Anyway, there are multiple apps that let you manage your contacts at a deeper database level. With MiniContacts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brapeba.minicontacts you can see all raw contacts one by one showing its original account source (group). And you can delete all contacts from a source (i.e. those coming from LinkedIn, or Facebook) or choosing manually those you don't want. Notice that if you don't disable the syncronization with the source those deleted contacts will reappear again. So, first disable syncronization! If you want to delete the contacts permanently from everywhere instead of just from your Android database, go to the source (LinkedIn, Facebook...) and delete them there.
Hope it helps...

I could kiss you right now. I have been scouring the internet and downloading apps for hours trying to figure out how to fix "read only" and "can't be deleted" contacts on my second replacement dud Turbo 2. Duplicates galore, and they wouldn't go away. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :laugh: No more Verizon Cloud - that really messed it up both times. Merry Christmas! :good:

The app Simpler Contacts can merge duplicate apps. I've used it on friends' phones to do that.
Of course, Simpler Contacts also would like you to keep using their app and even their backup service, and they have a Dialer app too. But you don't need all that. I just use Simpler Contacts once in a while to check for duplicate contacts.
But this solution above is good too.
I also used Simpler Contacts to export all contacts from a "local" account. Helped to friends do this when they switched from iPhone to Android and the carrier store exported all their iPhone apps to "local" phone account -- which is STUPID. All the contacts need to synced with Google.
This is a stock turbo. It was sitting on my desk this morning and I heard it reboot all by itself. It was just sitting there. Now it is at the Setup Wizard screen as if it just factory reset itself.
Anyone have this happen to them?
Any idea why?
I haven't gone through the setup yet, but I am assuming I lost all contacts and everything.

Your contacts should be backed up in Gmail, unless you are using some kind of Verizon contacts app. When you sign into Gmail, your contacts are there. That's one of the awesome things about Android.
However, my sister has AT&T and they foisted some kind of AT&T contacts app on her when she switched from iPhone crap to Galaxy S6. First thing I did was export all her contacts to Gmail. Now, if she ever gets a new Android device, sign into Gmail on new Android tablet/phone, BOOM, all her contacts are there.

Yeah thanks I was assuming that. I guess I am even more curious why it would have done this.
Guys, I really need help and at my wits end. I left the android platform for a bit to IPhone X....Needless to say I want to use my Note 8 again. For the life of me, I cannot get gmail to sync anymore. I tried removing my google account, I tried a factory reset, I tried adding my google account to another android device...everything syncs like contacts, calendar etc....but NOT GMAIL.
I am at a total loss here as it still works fine on my IOS device and doesn't matter if I use WIFI or cell data. Any experts here with any clue...I'm dying here.
I would also like to add that I do not think its my device as this issue exists on 2 android devices I tried and I can add a different gmail account to either device with zero issues. Seems like something is specifically blocking my gmail (maybe a security or config setting somewhere) from allowing it to sync on the gmail app.
I am starting to think its not the gmail app itself but rather some setting (or something corrupt) in how sync syncs gmail. The issue must be with sync not my devices and not the gmail app because on the same devices, other gmail accounts work fine and other items sync fine (except gmail), factory resets, removal and re-adding accounts, etc do not work

You would do best to call Google and tell them your issue. I have never had gmail not sync when it is toggled to do so.
@mike3000000,
Have you tried all the recommendations on this page > https://support.google.com/mail/answer/4780745?hl=en

Are you SURE you've gone through ALL the settings in the GMail app? Theres a couple, if not checked, will screw up the sync. Like make sure all your inboxes are set to sync AND notify. Make sure you have it set to sync the last 30 days of mail (or however long you like).
Also go to accounts in settings and make sure all the sync settings are toggled on. Unless Google is having server issues, it's most likely something simple you've missed which is easy to do.
See if it works with Bluetooth turned off. My Gmail app seems to sync immediately (like it's meant to) and also the Google Play app updates complete and install without any delays.
I had this issue some time ago, with my note 8, not as bad as your case, there were some periods when no sync at all, I could verify that the issue was not gmail itself, as I have 3 devices with the same gmail account, the other two always received the emails normally, long story short, I solved the problem using macrodroid to trigger gmail sync every 10 minutes, I know that this is not a real solution, but I have used it for almost a year, as I use macrodroid for a lot of things, I really forgot àbout it untill now when reading your post

It doesn't bother me at all. I prefer people to search for issues before creating new threads. I didn't realize you were having issues as well, since you never said you were having issues. You actually said you Gmail syncs immediately like it's supposed to, which lead me to believe that you were NOT having an issue. Generally people don't say their phone is behaving as it's meant to, if they're having problems with it.
I thought you were just offering a solution to a very old thread for some reason. I was just letting you know it was an old thread, and the OP, to whom you were offering a solution, had moved on.
Then when you said others were obviously still having issues, I questioned that, as it was not obvious to me. Especially since your post was about how your Gmail syncs immediately and Google Play updates without delay, and your phone is functioning as it's meant to (in your words). Maybe I should've understood you wanted it to function MORE like it's meant to?
Then you asked who the OP was, so I explained that.
And you wanted to know what his solution was, so I explained I didn't know, since he had moved on.
So it didn't bother me. I was merely conversing with whom I believed to be another civilized adult. Sorry I offended you, though.
