Calendar stopped

Cuffy5 — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 11:30:34 GMT

Every time I try and open my calendar, I get the message "unfortunately, calendar has stopped". Any ideas?

Try Settings - Apps then swipe to All then locate and open Calendar and tap on Force stop and Clear both Cache and Data then restart your device and test

There is no calendar in the apps. It's not one I have downloaded, it's the preloaded one so I have no idea where to go from there

Did you swipe to all and the pre-loaded system calendar is listed as Calendar

This happened to my wifes z3c and a friends this morning, theyve both just come from iOS and are quickly getting frustrated that their calender app isnt working. Ive tried deleting the apps cache, data, and force quiting the app. Ive also downloaded google calender and this does the same thing as well. As soon as the app opens it crashes and the phone returns to the home screen.

Any help on this issue would be most welcome

I don't know if this will help - but, it's what I had to do to get my Calendar squared away on the Z3C...

Go to the Play Store - and download Google Calendar. Once downloaded, set it up as if it's your default calendar (sync your Google Calendar, Exchange account - whatever..)...

Next - open the pre-installed calendar - and you'll see every works - or at least it did in my case...

I think I then uninstalled the Google Play calendar (I'll check later) - and everything was still fine with he pre-installed calendar.

Let me know if this works for you, OK?

Best,

John D.

Ive finally sorted the problem out. This is what I did:

Go into settings and scroll down to apps, select apps and swipe the screen across to show all apps.

Scroll down to Calander Storage and select. In the app info screen press the 'Clear Data' button.

Press the back arrow button next to app info a couple of times to put you back into settingsand scroll down to accounts

Turn off auto-sync, select ok this should turn off any accounts that sync to the phone including calander sync.

Turn auto-sync back on, select ok. This should re-sync the calander app.

Exit out of the settings and try opening the calender app.

This worked on both the phones that were having the problem so hopefully itll work for you guys.

I just synced my phone to my Iphone 4 and happened the same... I tried both options of deleting the cache, the data and switching on off the auto sync, still didn't work. I even downloaded google calendar but same error appeared..

Guys - Im having exactly same issue here -

My Main cal has been my apple I Cal and worked fantastic - thiis app is shocking and not fit for purpose

I loved the Apple and am regretting changing to Sony due to one App not working -

I even tried a 3rd party app and its not working either -

Any suggestions - I tried the clear data dn switch off sync etc and no change

Not having access to my daily work schedule is a nightmare - Common Sony = there must be a software fix for this

So mine is.working now, try the following: go to settings -> apps -> all -> calendar storage -> clear data cache. It will delete all your calendar data, but it worked for me. But now I am using google calendar to sync it with my gmail.

Great stuff, Spike76 - this has been frustrating me for days (since getting the new phone) and your solution seems to have done the trick!! Thank you!

I am still having the same problem on my new Z3! Have reset the phone a couple of times, have done a softwarre repair through PC companion. Sony told me to get hold of Google (who told me Sony gave me the wrong number) and have tried all suggestions above. Very frustrating - anybody else found another fix?

March 2015 - new Z3 compact & had the same problem.

Went to O2 store but they couldn't fix.

Did as instructed below and voila! worked perfectly.

Thanks for that Spike

Hi all,

have the same problem with my new Z3 compact.

Unfortunately the trick of deleting calendar storage data, disabling/enabling etc did not work. Still the same problem.

I also tried to create a new user and sync with the google calendar of a friend (I thought maybe some of my events have strange settings) but the same happens.

Any suggestion???

Thanks in advance,

Luca

Nice one - I've had 2 z3c's, my other half has one too. Both have had this error. I've had a replacement sim card (due to roaming issues) then a replacement phone with the second sim also had the error.

Updating as Spike stated has cleared mine. I'll be attempting the same with the other half tonight.

Spike76's solution worked for my Z1 Compact. Many thanks.

Hey, the calendar was crashing for me on z5 compact, but clearing cache & application data, even disabling it ddin't help. I also played out with sync config but to no avail.

I wanted to share my solution in case someone runs into the same thing.

The first time it crashed was when I was adding an event (to synced google calendar) to be repeated daily, and for time the event should happen I picked a range of dates. I think this was the root cause for my crash as it might have issues with rendering an event over a span of days.

I went to google calendar through a web browser,I but I didn't see the new entry there, so I added the daily event again.

The invalid entry showed up only when I installed the google calendar app on my phone. When I removed it, the Calendar app started working perfectly fine
