Then I deleted one calendar today, and added 3 new calendars in google. I then tried to sync the calendars and my phone didn't recognize the new calendars, but still showed the deleted calendar. I then logged off from my phone and logged back in again, and now the only calendar that shows is Default. The phone doesn't recognize any of the other new calendars I added today.

It doesnt even give me the option of other calendars only the default. This sucks cause I have a calendar for my business with all my scheduled appointments on it. I NEED it back and cant figure out how to get it. This whole mess happened after I had to wipe my phone (thanks t-mobile), so I ended up switching to Verizon, and guess what, Same Thing! It almost seems like we're missing an update or firmware or something. All the people that do have their extra calendars showing up...are you syncing with outlook as well??? I'm at loss.

I only have the option to sync DEFAULT and there are no other options even though I have other calendars. Can someone PLEASE provide specific instructions on how to remedy this issue? THANKS!

I get to the list of all my calendars, select the one I want, re-sync & I can see its importing all the calendars but when I view my Calendar application it seems to only have sync with the non default calendars in the past & not the events in the future. I have tried everything, please if you can help me! :) Hi, I found your blog very helpful but I am still having problems syncing more than my default calendar.

Thanks so much. Just to clarify for others, once in Options, under Sync these Calendars, scroll to whatever calendar(s) are listed and select it/them. A new screen will come up showing all your calendars. Select the ones you want. Wonderful! Thanks so much.

Go to google sync options, scroll down to the available calendar and select it and it should have any other available calendars to be able to choose from. Go to your google sync and sign out.

My times are off 10 hours either way I go. BB --> google or google--> to BB. I have set both google and my BB to EST, GMT and about 10 others attempting to get it to work. GCAL sucks but at least I get the right times. I would love to use it but back to outlook I go. I have sent 5 emails to google and no response. I hate google sync.
