Help URGENT HELP: Samsung A54 calendar events all disappeared
- Thread starter AppleUser
- Start date
So glad your problem was resolved. What was the suggestion that lead to the restoration of you lost calendar events?
He sent me a TM and I clicked on the link. He joined my phone, took control, and it was so fast I may not recall all he did. Clear cache, then synch. Then we did the same to the second phone. Wonderful experience.
I did not have to wait on hold. Guess why.
OMG! The same thing happened again today. Most of the entries are gone, Samsung calendar totally empty, Google calandar better but incomplete. Google calendar on my laptop empty. Freed up space and restarted phone. G Calendar still empty.
Cleared cache ----->. no help. Afraid to press SYNCH because if it synchs with an empty calendar, that makes no sense.
Question: to where does it synch? Is there an internal database with which it synchs? When this happened last April, the G calendar in my laptop was also empty but SYNCH seemed to fix the problem.
Any suggestions?

Eh write it on paper.
Did you back up the calendar with Samsung Cloud? Under Settings - Accounts and backup, your Samsung account should be backed up and you can (hopefully) restore the calendar.
As an aside, I learned years ago to use Google calendar, contacts, etc. instead of Samsung's own apps. If I ever decide to switch to a Pixel, or Motorola, or other non-Samsung Android device, the data in the Google apps will easily move to the new phone. Once you ever leave the Samsung ecosystem, though, any data in that ecosystem gets left there.

If you have everything in Samsung calendar, then nothing would be in Google calendar as they are two separate apps with separate data. That's why I prefer Google calendar: I can sync it to my other devices. Samsung's apps are pretty well locked to Samsung devices.
Ah, but my phone has many events in Google Calendar.
How are you looking at your Google calendar on the Mac: via the web or via a calendar app? If your phone can see the events then they should be visible via the web (calendar.google.com). Any app, whether on Mac or phone, will have settings for which calendars it displays, so it's probably worth checking those, as well as confirm that the calendar is being synced. But this is at the level of entire calendars: if you have some events visible but not others from the same calendar then that's weird, and the only thing I can think of is to try to see whether there is a pattern to which are and are not showing.
Thank you. By clearing the cache and then pressing "monthly" on the left vertical column, events have reappeared! Need to check if all are there.
I was at a Samsung Store a year ago, and the tech said it was fine to have events in different email addresses on the phone. Why didn't Samsung recommend keeping all events in "My Calendar"?
If I upgrade this A54 to the S26, will all calendar events be transferred ?

If your calendars are associated with different online accounts (e.g. different email addresses) then as long as you log in to those same accounts and sync calendars they'll all download on a new device. I've no recent experience with local (i.e. unsynced) calendars, but transfer apps are pretty reliable these days and I'd expect a Samsung-to-Samsung transfer to be one of the simpler cases.
If you use end-to-end encrypted messaging (e.g. Signal or WhatsApp) do check their transfer processes before you do anything, as a transfer app won't get their data across. And make sure everything important is working on the new phone before resetting the old one.
