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..

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...

something new from cyanogen?

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
Am I the only one who still has this problem??

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?

Friend Stream

Hi!
Is there any way to obtain Friend Stream for Azure Rom?

It'll require HTC proprietary framework stuff I imagine, so no. It ain't gonna happen.
If you use launcher pro (instead of ADW) then buy launcher pro plus and you'll get some extremely good widgets.

Alright, that seems like a good idea then!
Could you maybe point me in the right direction for some of them?
Many thanks!
Sent from my Legend using XDA App, blame THAT for spelling mistakes

Well launcher pro plus comes bundled with them.
As for standalone widgets you'll have to google for it.

you can sync with facebook in azure. just download the oficial facebook app, log in and its done. you can set it upp in "accounts". also longpress a contact, select "edit contact", press meny and then "join" if you wish to join a phone contact with a facebook one.
launcherpro will release a friendstream widget for plus users this week i think. well worth the money to buy the app. its far better than ADW imo.

dont u think i must have tried tht xcrew..it doesnt sync contacts for sure.. not even in the Neon Mod 0.21 m on currently

well thats all i didnt... on a freshly installed azure mod facebook contacts wont sync. All i did was install facebook and it apered in "settings/accounts and sync". In that menu i just checked "auto-sync" and my contacts automaticly synced with facebook. this was the first thing i did after a fresh install of azure. If i can sync, you guys must be able to, just gotta do the right things
to make sure we have the same facebook app, im using "facbook for android" version 1.3.2
EDIT: i have no idea why my post became two, and apparently i cant delete it.

ofc i had to join a coupple of contacts to. "contact list/longpress/edit contact/menu button/join". also you might make sure you actualy show your facebook contacts in the phonebook by checking out phonobook display settings.

[Q] Cannot sync Gmail calendar...can anyone help?

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

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

LG apps

Why on earth everyone is killing the LG apps?
Why on earth nobody gives the possibility to put them back?
How should I do besides using stock?
People I just can't understand... I need it to sync contacts and calendar, am I the only one using outlook?

******* use a stock rom then :S cheeez a bit harsh title isn't it, nothing to do with android development

It has to instead.
I want a custom rom, I just want a specific app to go with it.
Who else should I ask, Jay Leno?

Then custom one urself.

you can sync contact to google server if you're using a custom ROM.
or there are many apps to backup your sms, contact, calendar on Play Store.
you need stock LG ROM to use LG PC Suite.

Man, lots of usefull answers...
If I wasn't doing engineering somewhere else, maybe I could have the time to start learning kernels, kitchens, bootloaders...
But then spending already 12hrs a day coding, maybe I CAN'T do this too?
meh...

if you want both then try to port them over
decompile them look at logcats edit them again and again and again and again

To all people reading this:
I work just like you. I spend hours a day CODING for work, I work on embedded devices, and it's low level C coding everywhere.
I'm not *****ing.
It's just that I plug my phone in and I sync everything, including work calendars and todos.
Now maybe I'm the last one using Outlook instead of gmail, so that's why I'm asking.

why not make a gmail account and let it sync all the data with your outlook then??
then you just can sync your google account with your phone voila!
maybe i am thinking to much from microsoft and is this not possible
but every good mail application should have a sync modes to sync with web services?
since i don't use outlook and never did i don't know

You might wanna try one of these...

Google is your friend

Everyone is obsessing with online storage...
Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't want google to know who I connect with, or how do I do that.
What's the problem in having the contacts on your pc? Everyone has another pc.
Why are you giving up your privacy to google?
I was happy with my contacts shared only on my computer, until I had to use google because everyone just couldn't bother using another app...

There some apps inmarker for direct sync with outlook, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android_sync.app.note
MyPhoneexplorer I think do it also and I'm sure many others do that. Yu can also ask for someone to upload the lgpcsuite apk.

Yes I must say I didn't try at all. But I've read some people posts saying that myphoneexplorer works quite well. Sorry I'm one of the cloudy ones, I don't use outlook lol, for one main reason that is I use Linux at home and XP at work so more simple to sync online.
Even if I must say that it's quite annoying that Google has all our eggs in its bucket lol....

Actually, I think you are *****ing, which seems a bit contrary to the general spirit of these forums and probably not much appreciated.
I use OUTLOOK on my desktop and sync it (email, contacts, diary) to my phone but it's through an Exchange server, which all the gapps can talk to. Maybe try one of Paul from MoDaCo's custom ROMs -you can bake one with the LG apps left in...
