Unable to add calendar events on Droid 2 global

Hi, I'm about to turn in my phone as I'm so frustrated by the inability to do anything simple. Grr! All I want to do is add an event to my calendar but I get an error message that says "You must synchronize a calendar before creating a new event." Does it help me with this? No! I have to search a gazillion manuals, which tell me nothing; I search to Verizon website and all of the buttons are for other models and at any rate, I've come up short. I've now spent 2 HOURS trying to figure out how to add a simple event to my calendar! Why would I even have to synchronize it at all? I'm happy with OFFLINE, I just want a freakin calendar to work!

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Droid ISN'T and DOESN'T at the moment!

I'm having the same problem with my Brand New Droid Pro. I use the calendar A LOT, so this is very frustrating for me and could be a deal breaker if I can't get it to work. I do have a calendar set up on my google (GMAIL) account and for some reason, when I sync with that, it doesn't include the calendar, so I don't know what it wants. It also took me numerous trips to the Verizon site, just to find a .pdf file user manual. This is the first phone I've ever owned that didn't come with a manual, either printed or on disc. This is not a good beginning.

Same for me - first time with no manual whatsoever! I found the Droid 2 manual online (pdf) and again it told me ZERO on how to synchronize a calendar to get it to work. This is completely stupid.

Also, I'm looking at page 21 of the online manual, and the instructions are completely inconsistent with the the options available on the phone itself. There is ZERO option for "Accounts & sync" - either that or it's impossible to find!

KOK, I had to reset my phone. That seems to work.

xtine, do you mean the hard reset that wipes everything out? I'd really rather not go there if possible, I spent a couple of hours when I got my phone putting all of my old data in it, and I don't want to do that again.

Hi all,

I was finally able to get the calendar to work. I decided the use of the calendar was worth resetting my phone for. I feared losing all of my settings, downloaded apps, pictures, music, etc. but really needed the calendar to work, so I did it. Guess what? I didn't lose a thing! As soon as the phone re-booted, everything was back to normal, except now, the option to sync the calendar was part of my google account settings! One quick sync and I am now in business! Painless fix.

Go to settings>accounts>select your g-mail account...be sure there is a check in sync calendar...if the sync calendar option is not there you must do a factory reset...once the sync calendar option is there and checked you will be able to add calendar events
