How can I get the Google Calendar app to sync more often? I'm new to Android and am having an issue where the Google Calendar app seems to only sync with my Google Account every 3 or 4 days. This is a real pain as I often miss appointment and reminder alerts that I set via my desktop.

Is there a way to have this sync more frequently?
it sounds like you might have "limits" set on your "background data". try enabling instead of restricting it.
