Default GS2 not syncing with Google Calendar

I set up 5 months worth of events and it just wont sync to mmy phone. I've tried manually syncing as well. I also tried 3 third party calendar apps which wont sync either.

More details might help. What rom are you running, have you done anything special to it, what steps you've taken to try and fix it, is this your first android phone?

Does everything else sync?

From your response it sounds like you have looked this up already. So with that in mind maybe it's more of a small detail.

Are the calender events you're saving being saved to your Google calender or your local calender?

Well I dont really sync anything honestly. This is pretty much the first time I've tried to sync with this phone. The event is being saved onto my Google Calender.

Edit:

When I go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>My Gmail, it only shows Contacts, Gmail, and Picasa. No calendar here.

So when you access your calendar none of the events show up?

And you have tried opening the menu once you access the calendar going to settings->Calendar Sync-> selecting gmail syncing that way?

I know that with my calendar, contacts, etc. it took a long time before the information updated. I would say about 10-15 minutes and I did not create 5 months events more like major holidays and 250 or so facebook related events.

I would suggest giving it more time or rebooting the phone and trying the whole thing all over again.

I used Odin and I followed Zedomax's instructions on his YouTube channel, found here

hopefully this helps (read the 2nd reply):
http://www.google.com/support/forum/...819c0c92&hl=en

that was for the Nexus 1 but maybe it'll work for you. Add a 2nd gmail account and see if that calendar sync option reappears.
