Lost Calendar Events

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I have a similar issue/problem

I was syncing and unsyncing with my samsung to google calendars, then the next day I checked, I realized all my events disappeared.

I did not erase anything yet all my events were gone.

I did notice that something was occurring during the period that I lost my data.

I saw that my default Samsung browser on my smart phone went on a refresh loop on google home page. This was an issue on googles end and was resolved eventually.

This was one of google's problems. There would be an issue with google recognizing me logging on the google home page and gmail. This lasted for a week. I wonder if that caused my data to disappear?

There are a few links below describing what happened. I'm wondering if this is an issue with Google, samsung+google, or syncing in general.

if I can recover my lost events that would be great!

It seems like a lot of them has to do with smartphones syncing, which is what I did. Even if there isn’t a solution or a recovery for this, it would be great to at least get an understanding as to why this happened (so i can avoid it in the future). I am currently storing everything local to my phone and havne’t experienced any loss of information. It’s quite disconcerting that if I did use google calendars, at any moment, all my events can go missing.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Restore a recent backup, that way the period of events lost will be minimal; only events entered/altered after the time of the backup, obviously (and you can then sync to Google if you like to bring that back up to date).

So far as recovering your lost events goes, I doubt Google will restore an individuals calendar events. Tho you might as well ask them, they might surprise you. That way you then simply restore them to your phone.

Failing that, unless you've got a copy of the db file containing the calendar events still on the phone, can't see how you'd get them back unfortunately.

As to why, I'd be asking Google. I've been keeping my phone/Google calendar synced a couple of times a day over the year and a bit I've had my SGS2 & never had a problem from their end (a couple very early doors caused by me when I had to reset my phone & I hadn't synced to Google before doing the reset).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikoal:
Thanks Mistah. Unfortunately I didnt make any backups with TiBu or a nandroid at that time.

I've asked google and you are correct, they dont do event restores.

Yes definitely my main concern is why it happened at all? So it never happened to you?....hmmm..

im wondering if it was something on Google's part or something I did.

Before I realized my calendar disappeared, I unsynched and erased the profile on my device so it only had the local calendar, then i synced again.

I wonder if my erasing that profile on my samsung caused the calendar to delete. Or maybe it didn't register or save?

I can't 100% recall if I saved the events on google's calendar or my local. but if I stored on my local, shouldnt the data still be there even after my sync and unsync or google calendar?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep. If you remove the Google a/c from your phone completely, it deletes the events attached to that Google a/c in the calendar app. When you add it back, you'll have an empty calendar until you sync it from Google.

So essentially, what's seemed to have happened is you've done that with the a/c on your phone, for whatever reason your events @ Google's end have been nuked, so when you've re-added the a/c back on your phone & gone to sync it, there's been nothing there to sync back to the phone.

If you untick 'show xyz@gmail.com' in the calendar app settings (as opposed to removing the a/c outright), exit the app & restart the app you end up with an empty calendar, because it must have a Google a/c linked. If you retick 'show xyx@gmail.com' your events show again because simply unticking it doesn't delete anything.

Removing the a/c outright from the phone must purge the DB file(s) (?? I presume) on the phone.

That's the most logical explanation I can come up with given what happened/the order it happened in with your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikoal:
I just tried it again. I removed the account from my phone. then resynced it. All the info from the calendar is still there.

Currently i store everything locally and only view local calendar (as you've said, untick google calendar).

Also not sure if this matters, I'm not using google calendars, I'm using samsung's stock calendar planner.

I cant see how removing the account from ur handheld would erase all events from your calendar. Isn't removing the account just deciding not to sync with it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's why I added (?? I presume) to that line in my PP about removing the account potentially wiping the DB files.

I doubt you'll end up finding out what happened/why it happened.

Anyhow, that's all I can offer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikoal:
ya, it was worth a shot to test out that theory.

back to square one i guess.

google is blaming on samsung's app causing the erase when syncing.

[HTC Sensation] Primetime1982:
Dear all,

I've a problem regarding WiFi and flight/airplane mode after upgrade to ICS with my HTC Sensation (S-Off & Root).

The problem is that WiFi turns automatically on at night when the phone is switched into airplane mode with active WiFi.

I tried the original HTC Stock ROM (3.32.401.5) and ARHD 6.5.2 / .3 including a lot of factory resets and several WiFi sleep policies, but nothing works. :confused:

Another user (BerntBalchen) at androidforums.com has the same problem (cannot post ext. link here).

Any ideas? Is there a logging tool to see which process is switching on WiFi?

Thanks,

Chris
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Yes you can run what is called a logcat with ADB. The only problem with that is you would have to have your device connected via USB all night with a the logcat running to see what is turning on your WiFi.

To learn about ADB and how to set it up just Google ADB or do a a couple of searches here on XDA there is plenty of how to guides out there. Most importantly though you will have to download the Android SDK from the Android Open Source Project. I think there is even a guide on the AOSP website.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGIQEXPO:
Hello everyone!

I was hoping I could get some small guidance. I have my normal Nexus S running at 1050 MGHz all the time, and I have set all the boot tweaks to on in my ROM settings along with the SD Card read ahead value. I am on the Gummy 0.9 ROM with as few apps as I really want to have.

I cleared all apps cache, I zipalign them on boot (The ROM does) etc. and I have only a few apps on it. I use only picture wallpapers, i use stock messaging app and browser, and still my phone runs for about 45% of the time fine... but the rest of the time it is either extremely slow or unresponsive.

Any ideas? I don't have any applied themes or mods and the laucher I am using (iLauncher Pro) is (According to the settings) using about >30mb
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
How much free RAM do you have? Generally as it gets under the 100mb threshold things can really take a turn for the worse. You may have too many services (whether it be from apps or otherwise) trying to take it all for themselves.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGIQEXPO:
Generally I have 60-105mb free RAM. The 105 is if all apps are closed, and 60-70mb is with my apps running and normal usage.

Download fastboot http://androidroot.mobi/2012/02/22/i...sformer-prime/ and stick the new cwm in that folder and rename the file form the first download tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob (INCLUDING THE .IMG)

Next open CMD and cd into the directory with both the .blob and fastboot inside

Reboot prime holding power and vol down till white writing comes up then press nothing untill it has three icons on the screen now press vol down (NOT UP) once to be on the middle icon then vol up to select it (I had to pull the usb out and back in)

Once the bar has finished you can reboot now go into CWM and make sure the version is CWM v5.8.2.0+ now:

How to port any AOSP ICS rom to Desire S ?

How to port any ICS AOSP based roms to Desire S (AOKP, CM9 & many other)

- for best compatibilty

--> use same android versions. (4.0.4 -> 4.0.4 example)

--> use latest base from CM9 (is best choose for port) or Quattro

--> use each brand for port (mean Desire HD -> Desire S or other HTC devices). you also can port other roms, but you will have network issues.

PORT:

-> download latest cm9 base and extract it

-> download target rom and extract it

use Camera.apk & FFCFix.apk from cm9 rom for camera issues fix.

copy

/app

/framework

/media

/fonts folders and replace in cm9 folder.

repack your zip and let it boot.

if it doesn't boot then copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from target rom and repack your rom.zip and install again.. if you get bootloop anyway, then just type in adb "adb logcat" and share it with us in this thread..

if you dont get success dont cry, just try to port another rom :D you can not port all roms
