All very fair questions. I'll do my best to answer all of them:
-Not rooted
-HTC calendar
-Normal calendar as far as I can tell...just sync's with my google account. I have my work computer sync'ing with my google account via Google Sync, but that shouldn't matter as far as I can tell.
-Not sure if its MR1 or MR2...whatever the last OTA update was is what I have
-Both monthly view and daily view. If the month isn't yet loaded, it takes a long time to populate the 'status bars' (the bars that preview what meetings you have that day), and same thing with a daily view if the monthly view hadn't populated yet. Not sure how often the calendar refreshes, but if it needs to sync, it takes this long each time. After it loads the data, it is snappy until the next time it needs to refresh.
Obviously I understand that things take time to load when necessary, but it is incredibly inconvenient when someone asks for my availability and I have to stand there staring at my phone. Could be worse, but if there is any improvement to be had, it would be nice.
Thanks!
Well, I make all my changes on my phone and let them sync to Google. I suppose maybe what you are seeing is the "sync time" every time you start the calendar, since you apparently make all the calendar entries on the Google site, or your PC. By syncing to your PC separately, I think you may be kind of ensuring that the calendar on Google is almost always out of sync with your phone - resulting in more syncing. I dunno...
In any case, I've not seen anyone else complain about this. It certainly doesn't affect me. Perhaps someone who makes all/most of their entries on the Google web page or their PC, rather than the phone, can chime in with how long their phone takes to sync. I have literally never had to wait on my calendar to load. Even after making a change on the Google web page calendar. I didn't even think you'd have to wait on a sync before it loads. I thought it'd still just load right away without being up to date if you didn't give it time to sync.
I just noticed on my phone, when I go into Calendar | Menu | More I Calendars, I have only one calendar selected for view. You?
Sorry, that's all I have.
Edit: For a test, I just logged onto my gmail account and made a calendar change. Then (within the next half minute) I pulled up the calendar on my phone, and it loaded right away. And, the new test appointment was already there. So... beats me. Perhaps somehow you are causing the sync to re-write the entire calendar each time rather than just the new/changed entries? I'm stumped.
