[Q] Can't access Google Calendar...

[NSDroider]

Hi all, i've searched far and wide to resolve this but nothing seems to work that i've tried. I cannot sign in to add my google calendar to my phone. I'm able to do everything else: get email, get to playstore, etc. As far as I know i do not have 2 step verification setup. I'm on 4.4.2, rooted. When i try to add my existing google account to the calendar i get "couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with the Google servers. Try again later."

I dont want to have to do a factory reset if possible.

Thanks all!

Clear cache and dalvik cache, and delete data from the calendar app. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app, repeat the clearing procedure, then reinstall. It should work:fingers-crossed:

@ldeveraux thanks for the reply. I tried what I think is the process above but still no luck. Maybe I'm not following what you suggested correctly. I went into the data/dalvik cache directory and wiped it out, cleared the calendar data. But not quite sure what you mean by "clear cache" in the very first part of what you wrote. Can you maybe give me a step by step with a little more info? Thanks again.

You're rooted and have safestrap installed?

1) Go to App info on the calendar app and Clear Data
2) reboot to safastrap.
3) go to wipe menu, advanced wipe, then check ONLY Cache and Dalvik Cache
4) wipe these 2 ONLY, then reboot.

If that doesn't work, uninstall the calendar app, reboot, reinstall the app from the play store.

I have no clue if this will work, but it's worth a shot

Hi, Im rooted but dont have Safestrap installed. I guess I can add it back if it'll fix this problem. Do I absolutely need it?

Hello again, I added back Safestrap and followed the above and still the same results. I appreciate the effort. Any other ideas out there?? Also I can't uninstall the calendar app. I guess its the stock one that came with the phone. I can freeze or uninstall it with TB but i don't see it available on the play store.

I'm getting the feeling you didn't do this as I explained. You shouldn't delete the files or folders in a file explorer app. It should be done like I explained in SS.

And you can uninstall google Calendar with any uninstaller app or TB, either way. the new app to download is here, so yes it exists:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar&hl=en

I did follow your instructions once i re-installed Safestrap. But unfortunately still having the issue.

Its possible to clear the cache and davlik cache on stock using stock recovery and without root i thought id note..
