Tried to migrate Galaxy Note S20 calendar which had entries from Google calendar to my new S24 Ultra calendar. But the option doesnt exist in S24 Ultra calendar. When I click on + (under manage calendars) and select Google followed by adding that Google account where the calendar is, I get an error message "This account already exists on your device:".
Someone posted this problem in March this year describing in detail the problem which I face and support team responded to go to Path: Home screen, Apps etc ... where i would be able to login to that account.. However this doesnt exist at all. Under Settings, when I selected Home Screen there is no such thing as apps, general etc etc. A very disappointing 'non'-solution.
Would appreciate it if someone has found a way to get Google calendar in S24 ultra Samsung calendar app like how it worked in earlier models.

I didn't have to do anything special to see Google calendars in Samsung Calendar. So, when setting up the phone, I logged into the same Google and Samsung accounts that I have on the S21 Ultra, and Drive backup and Samsung Cloud backup did everything else on the S24 Ultra. I downloaded the apps fresh, not through backup, including Google Calendar. In Samsung and Google Calendar, I set which calendars I wanted to see and that's it - no moving of entries. Backup from S21 ultra does it all automatically.

And don't forget to turn on sync for all accounts on all your devices. That way, every change you make on one device will be visible on all your devices on which you are logged in with the same accounts

I've had this same issue all day. I just got it fixed! I had to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung calendar, then download the Google calendar and let it load up all my events, then went back into my Samsung calendar and boom worked without me doing anything else.

The issue just fixed by itself on the next day... I have no idea what happened and how, but probably it just needed some time.

I'm just having the same issue (I think it started after upgrading my Galaxy S24 Ultra to One UI 7).
The Samsung calendar does not sync with google account. Even though the Google account is updated on the device (for example, Samsung email does sync with Gmail), the Google account does not appear in the Samsung calendar account management list. If I try to add it, it says: "This account already exists on your device."
The only two accounts on the Samsung calendar are the device itself and the Samsung account, although Google account is updated on the device.
Google accounts don’t show up in Samsung Calendar, even though they are properly synced with the device. It seems that Google Calendar is syncing to your phone, but Samsung Calendar isn't recognizing it.
What have I tried so far, and it hasn't worked:
* Google Sync Settings is toggled ON (so the Calendar is toggled ON).
* Clear Samsung Calendar App Data (Cache and Data).
* Remove & Re-add Samsung Calendar.
* Remove Google Account, Reboot and Re-add Google Account back.
Any solution?
