Google Calendar show question mark for events modified on Pre

[byrdley20]

Anytime I modify an event on my Pre, once it syncs with Google Calendar, it shows a question mark (?) next to the event, as if I am now a guest invited to that event.  Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, have you found out why this happens and how to fix it?

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

You know, I noticed this before, but didn't pay any attention to it. In all honesty, I'm a new Google calendar user, so I really didn't know what the ? meant. So, it seems the way the sync with Google happens is that the Pre invites the Google calendar. You can "accept" in the gCal and the ? goes away. Not sure if that's really a bug or what, but it is interesting.

I'm having a hard time replicating this issue. Can someone experiencing this issue list steps to recreate?

I can't be sure that byrdley20 is getting this for the same reason, but the only time I see events added from the Pre show up as invites is if they are changes made to a calendar that the main google calendar has access to. I didn't understand that this is what was happening at first, because I added both calendars separately to the Pre and my assumption was that if I changed CalendarB, it would do so through that account and not through the subscription to CalendarB that CalendarA has. I was also having trouble with events on CalendarB added through the google website showing up as uneditable on the Pre even though they should have been editable according to the set permissions, no matter which account was trying to make the changes. (I hope all that makes sense!)

I now just have one calendar which has full-permission subscriptions to my other calendars, and just that one is set to sync with my phone. I am able to edit and add events to any of the subscribed calendars. I do still get the question mark in google but it makes sense, just a little annoying.

I noticed the same thing, but have figured it out.

The main calendar you have set up for your gmail shouldn't have the invitation problem at all, but sub-calendars will have the problem until you make a change on the google calendars site.

>Go to "Settings" for the calendars.

 >You will have to make the change by clicking on each sub-calendar.

  >For each sub-calendar you have, select "Automatically add all invitations to this calendar.", under Auto-accept invitations.

   >Make sure to click "Save".

I have tried testing it and it seems the "?" as for answering an invitation on the google calendar no longer appears.

Hope it helps!

I actually already tried changing my settings in Google Calendar.  Automatically Add Invitations to my Calendar is already set to Yes, but I still get the issue.  The event I am modifying is on my main google calendar.  I do have sub calendars, but I'm not touching those events.  On my Pre, I have 2 calendar accounts.  1 is the Palm Profile, which doesn't have any events on it and the other is my Google Calendar.  When I modify or add an event to the main calendar, after it syncs to Google, it places a question mark (?) next to the event.  I have to click the question mark and accept the invitation for it to go away.

Any other suggestions?

Are the sub-calendars additional calendars on the same Google account, or from different accounts?

My swing at a guess is that this shows up for shared calendar events that OTHERS you've given access to add them.

You can (according to what I read in settings) turn this off by setting "Do not show invitations" for that calendar (the person that "owns" the calendar in this case).

I'm not having this issue. Sorry, can't help out on this one.

[byrdley20]

My sub calendars are both from the same account and public calendars.  But all of my events that I'm modifying are on my main calendar and they have all been created by me.  I don't give anyone else access to create any events on my calendars.
