no option to sync gmail calendar

Gogators1996

I received a warranty replacement phone for my Droid yesterday, had to set up a new gmail account upon activation, and now have no option to sync my calendar. This is not good, as i input everything for my calendar on my phone. I have tried all the other suggestions that other posts and turoials have shown me and still nothing. Please HELP!!!

The calender should sync by itself. As long as you have the right google sign in.

Check to see if your sync settings are enabled. Here are the steps below.

From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).

Touch Gmail.
Touch Menu.
Touch Accounts.
Touch Menu.
Touch Account Settings.

If desired, touch Background data to enable applications to sync, send and receive data at any time. Background data is enabled if a green check mark is present.

If desired, touch Auto-sync to enable data to sync automatically.

Auto-sync is enabled if a green check mark is present.

Touch the desired Gmail account.
Touch the desired sync option.
Synchronization is enabled if a green check mark is present.

Only the initial Gmail account calendar is synchronized.

Had the same problem with a new Droid X. Had no "Sync Calendar" showing in gmail account, only "Sync Contacts" and "Sync Gmail". Calendar function on phone was not useable. Easy fix for me:

1. Create a 2nd "Dummy" gmail account on your PC (you may be able to create the new account on your phone but I did not try it that way). You will delete this account when you are done.

2. On your phone, go to "settings" then tap "accounts" then "add account" then "google" then "next" then "Sign in". Sign into your new "Dummy" account.

3. After your phone signs in, it will sync contacts, gmail and calendar for the new account.

4. Press the back button on the bottom of the phone so it goes back to and shows all of your accounts, then tap your original gmail account.

5. You should now have contacts, gmail and calendar all showing in your original account.

6. If it all works the way it should you can delete the "Dummy" account and all should be good!

Good Luck!
