Trouble with the Google Calendar on Android 2.1

Well, it was a quarter of the price of an iPhone but there are little niggles with Android 2.1 of the Orange San Francisco.

The Google Calendar applicaion is quite useful and I view one personal and one shared calendar on the phone. The shared calendar (owned by another Google account) can be updated but updates made to that calendar by other means didn't show up correctly on the Google Calendar app on the phone.

After a bit of a search it seems to be that the calendar data cache needs to be cleared on the phone.

On the phone go to Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Calendar....then clear data.

I have a feeling this may need to be done regularly but we shall see...

UPDATE

This seems to be fixed if "Background Data" and "Auto-sync" are set on in "Accounts & sync settings".
