Google calendar - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

guys
i like google calendar and want to keep it (even have the widget on the home screen). However, I'm getting duplicate events for each one. When I go to my calendar settings (the app that came by default on nexus 6) and Calendars to display and de-select something, it gets removed from my widget as well. How do I get rid of these duplicates?
Thanks

They're not duplicates. They're the same event s in multiple apps. Stop one of the apps notifying

Can't switch calendar events to different calendars.

I have two calendars on my phone, one is the google calendar and the other is called 'exchange' that I imported and kept saving events under.
First issue I had was that the 'exchange' calendar wasn't updating on my google calendar, so I tried switch some of my exchange events to the google calendar but I don't get the pull-down option when in the event edit mode.
Any clue what's going on or how I can go about fixing this issue?
Thanks

Calendar doesn't sync all Google Calendars

Hi Guys,
I have some strange Problems syncing my Google Calendars.
It shows my Default Calendar and syncs it, but all other calendars i have are not visible in Android 2.2's Calendar App --> Means that its not possible to sync them.
Once it worked by resetting the device to factory defaults - then it showed up all calendars. But that can't be the truth, resetting MY DEVICE to sync a stupid calendar?????.
I don't want to loose all my data and settings (of course i know that i can do backups etc...)
What i tried it:
-Deleting Dalvik Cache
-Deleting normal Cache
-Removing Calendarstorage
...but nothing worked. Just the default Calendar and no other...
Does anybody have a tipp for me how to FORCE google Calendar to sync all Calendars, is there a file i need to edit or someshing else? Maybe a fix from the market?.
I tried also to remove the google Account from Android but that was not possible in Android 2.2. I guess in it worked in Android 2.1....really strange!
Regards
What I did when shared calendars weren't showing up was to go to settings->application->calendar storage and do a 'clear data' and 'force stop'. Repeat for calendar app as well.
Next time it synced it showed the other calendars.
And yeah, I noticed too that you can't delete the account anymore due to it being used blabla
Are there any other fixes or workarounds to try, I've noticed I'm getting this problem too? It's probably been there a while, but it's only now I've updated one of my other calendars.
I've tried clearing data, forcing a stop, or rebooting, but nothing seems to work.
Curiously, although only "My Calendar" and the default Google calendar appear for selection in the default calendar app, all the other calendars (whether they're personal Google calendars or public ones like "UK Holidays") appear for selection to display in a few third-party apps I've tried. Unfortunately, all these apps seem to use the actual calendar data, so even if the other calendars are selected, nothing is displayed because the stock app won't sync.

I've got the exactly same problem. I am using Froyo 2.2.1 and tried clearing data, forcing stops, reboots, format cache partition...and nothing. I can select the other calendars in Smooth Calendar widget and Touch Calendar (although they dont show the events on the calendar) But I cant see them in Android Agenda widget and in Stock Calendar app.
This is really frustrating. Is it really that hard to make those small things work? Please help!
I'm using the Smooth Calendar app and have the same problem. (complicated by needing to use a VPN because of where I live). I'm also using eM Client for the calendar on the PC. Here is what I did:
1) checked on line to see if google calendar synced ok - It was ok
2) Installed Google calendar app on my phone - checked to see if it was sync'd - it was NOT
3) In Smooth Calendar select config. Under the heading "Application" | Calendar application: Select which calendar application to use > (selected "Calendar" which is google's android calendar)
4) Went back to google calendar on the phone and press the three vertical dots and then selected refresh
5) Went back to Smooth Calendar and selected refresh - all is well now
(I don't know if I'll need to do so much in the future)

I just realized that there are two "refreshes" in Smooth Calendar. Ones is visible when you press on the display. The other is when you choose "calendar" and you are actually seeing google's calendar at that point. Choose the three vertical dots and refresh there !!!

S Planner annoyance - how do I make my Gmail calendar my default calendar?

Why on Earth does S Planner default to My Calendar instead of my Google Calendar? It's an unnecessary annoyance to always change calendar's.
Hey, I'm with you on this.
Regards.
Yes, I agree and it has been pointed out in two other threads. Hopefully either Samsung or a developer will rectify this at some point. Calengoo is a good alternative calendar that allows you to sync to google
Is there any way to Sync my gmail Tasks wiht s planner tasks?
I just go into the options and tell it NOT to show the internal calendars. Only my Google Calendars.
Same issue here, hiding them is good but not when the default is set to samsung when you add new event and then you cant see the events.
Guess have to move away from S planner.

Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync> Click individual accounts and switch off calendar sync for calendars you don't want to sync.
Go to S-Planner>Settings>Calendars> Deselect the calendars you do not want to display
I have 2 Gmail accounts (Personal) and 1 Exchange account (Corporate) configured. But I sync only the Exchange calendar and it works good. It saves to the Exchange calendar by default.
Geoux, thanks. However I couldn't disable My Calendar in system settings. I did disable calendar sync of the Samsung account and that seemed to help. When I now go to calendar settings I still see My calendar and I can't unmark it. But that's no issue because when I make a new appointment it will have Gmail account as default

Keep loosing Google sync

I have rooted my Fire HD (currently on 7.2.2 and re-rooted after the update) and followed various threads to install Play and the bits required to sync properly with Google (gmail.apk/googleLoginService.apk/GoogleServiceFramework.apk/Vending.apk/GPlay3.8.17.apk)
I have the Google calendar app as well as the Amazon app and use Business Calendar as my main calendar app.
I also have a load of calendars - family and work etc - and they all sync.
However, after the device has been screen off for a while it "looses" the Google calendars - it keeps the Exchange ones though. If I go into the Google calendar app and the "Calendars to be displayed" bit it shows just the Exchange ones. Click on "Calendars to be synced" and just the Exchange ones. Click OK then "Calendars to be synced" and the Google account shows up. Click on it a couple of times and the calendars show up as not synced. Select all the ones I want and save. Still do not show. Go back into "Calendars to be synced" and back out and they are all there. All show up in Business Calendar as well. All sync properly.
Until it is screen off for a while. Then it is back to square one.
Guess it might be related to the issues others were having with GTalk dropping but it seemed a bit odd.
Any ideas?

Issues with Calendar on Blinkfeed and lockscreen notifications

Hello guys
As it is written on the thread name I just cant get my Calendar entries to show on Blinkfeed.
Furthermore my eMails from my Gmail account arent showing up on the lockscreen despite having it setted as "Productivity"
I hope some can help me, becaue those issues really bug me a lot.

Are you using the stock mail and calendar apps? Blinkfeed and the productivity lock screen only pull data from the stock apps.

Ok I use Gmail for my Mail account.That explains the lockscreen issue.thanks for that!
Is it right that with Android 4.2 we can use lockscreen widgets,so i can customize with Gmail?
In case of the calendar issue I am using the stock app,which was preloaded on the HTC One. Any more suggestions why it doesnt show up?

for the first question that'll depend. android 4.2.2 stock comes with lockscreen widgets. whether HTC decides to add them to their lockscreen setup is a completely other issue lols.
as for your second issue. check the blinkfeed topics and services section. scroll to the left and see what services you have toggled on. you have to have calendar on for it to show. it shows fine for me. also it does not pre-show events you have coming up only when the event is happening at that moment. so i have my calendar setup for my classes. say i have class at 3pm. blinkfeed will not tell me i have a class coming up at 3pm if i update it at 1pm. it will show up though when i update my blinkfeed around 3:20pm though. An interesting tid bit is if you have way too many topics and facebook stuff your calendar blinkfeed will get pushed down and you wont see it. (IE it wont have priority space on the blinkfeed area)
hopefully that helps explain it a bit.

Thanks for answering, but it still doesn't work. I guess it's my blinkfeed,which is bugged somehow and I can't see a way to get in working despite trying hard. Maybe I just have to live with this and adapt to it or wait for an update to fix this bug

Are you on a stock ROM? Or custom? I'm on ordroid 5.0.0 and it works fine. Are you sure your Google calendars are updating? Do you see stuff when you go into the calendar app?

It seems that Blinkfeed only show the calendar entries that is due for today. Try adding something in your calender for today and reboot your phone. It should show then.
Hey guys,
I know that this isn't a new topic, but I having some problems with my HTC ONE.
My calendar doesn't show the events, events is in it`s data base, but still not showing in application.
When i use search i can found my events.
My HTC is updated to android 4.3
I've tried to reconfigure the accounts, but have no effect.
I using the default application, that came with the phone.
Someone knows what I need to do for correct this issue?
Below some screenshots.
Same issue
I have "Contacts Birthday's and Events" calendar subscribed in my Gmail and I maintain the birthday dates of all my contacts in Gmail [format: December DD, YYYY]. In HTC calendar [Accounts] i checked the Google option and in that i checked "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option, which takes the birthdays dates from my Gmail contacts and sets reminders and notifications. But I am not able to see any notifications from the calendar.
Now, i have another option in HTC Calendar Accounts called "People (Birthdays & Anniversaries)" and i have no idea where this option came from and from where it takes the birthday data from but it displays the birthdays. The annoying thing is when an event is about to occur this People thing displays 4 reminders for the same event, which is irritating.
I want to know where this People option came from and from where its taking the data and why the hell cant i see the Gmail contacts birthdays through the "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option??? :crying:
