Google Calendar location bug (since November 2014)

There is a bug in certain versions of the Google Calendar app. The Google Calendar app syncs the Android calendar with Google Calendar. So when CalenGoo is synced via the Android calendar (i.e. "Settings", "Accounts", "Android" is checked in CalenGoo), then the Google Calendar app uploads the events that you have entered with CalenGoo to Google Calendar. However due to a bug in certain version of the Google Calendar app the contents of the location field may vanish, at least when a new event is created. The bug has been reported to Google in November 2014 in several places but it seems that is hasn't been fixed so far (January 2015):

Solutions

To fix it, first ensure that you have the latest version of the Google Calendar app. If the problem still occurs afterward you can try to turn "Settings", "Display and Use", "Maintenance", "Google Calendar location bug workaround (use it only if otherwise the location is not synced!)" on.

If that also doesn't work, then you can sync directly with Google Calendar instead of via Android: Just uncheck "Settings", "Accounts", "Android" in CalenGoo and afterward use the "Add account" button to add your Google Calendar account. Please see here for details:
