Gmail Calendar Sync Issues
I'm having some major issues with my calendar syncing option in the new BIS. I've searched a great deal, tried all the suggestions I found, and still have no luck. Here is my story:
I was excited to try the new calendar and contacts sync for gmail, which was new to BIS. I did my research, and signed out of Google Sync (which erased all my gmail entries in the calendar), enabled the calendar and contact sync in the email account manager, then patiently waited for everything to sync. I did that at about noon. I got no syncing all day. As I placed my phone in the dock before going to bed, still nothing. When I woke up the next morning, still nothing!
At around noon the next day, still with no syncing of any contacts or calendar entries, I decided to stop waiting, as I needed my calendar entries for work. I went back to email options, unchecked calendar and contact syncing for my gmail account, then saved. Just to make sure, I went back in and double checked that those options were unchecked. At that point, I logged back into Google Sync, and re-synced my calendar and contacts. Everything was back and I was a happy camper.
Around 5 PM that night, I opened up the calendar again to check on a meeting for the next day, and to my horror, all of my calendar entries had been duplicated. I went back to the email settings and contacts and calendar syncing options were enabled (even though I double checked that they were disabled earlier in the day). I unchecked them again, saved, and double checked my options again. I resigned to the fact that I would have to go into my Google Calendar later to delete all the doubled entries.
About an hour later, when I opened my BB calendar again, I was greeted with yet another surprise. Now, all my entries were tripled!!! I went back to email settings again, and sure enough, the calendar and contacts sync options were checked again. Like the first two times, I unchecked the options, saved, and double checked the options again to make sure.
This happened two more times before I decided to try something else. With 5 duplicates of every entry in my calendar, I logged out of Google Sync, deleted the app, and did a battery pull. This removed one of the six copies of every calendar entry. Five still remain. This leads me to believe that for some reason, the calendar sync over BIS with gmail somehow synced my entries 5 times.
The curious thing is that my contacts are fine. They synced perfectly, and update over BIS when I make changes on my phone or when logged into Gmail rather quickly. Only the calendar is affected.
My question to you all is before log back into Gmail on my computer to clean up my now mess of a calendar, is there something that I did wrong? I don't want to spend the time deleting all the duplicate entries only to have BIS Google Calendar sync do this all over again. Has anyone else experienced something like this? As a side note, the BIS sync also turned all my recurring appointments into individual entries (also very annoying).
I'm running the first leak of OS6 on my 9700.
Thanks in advanced for all your help.
PS, I'm not sure if this is in the right forum. Mods, if I created this thread in the wrong one, could you please move it to the appropriate one with my sincerest apologies? Thanks!
