Calendar and Contacts not syncing after iOS 9 upgrade

My iCloud and Exchange calendars and contacts stopped syncing after upgrading to iOS 9 on an iPhone 6. Mail is fine and iCloud notes are syncing correctly. It seems to be specifically calendar and contacts. I tried deleting the Exchange account and re-adding it with no luck. From desktop to web is working for both iCloud and Exchange, so definitely, the phone has the issues.


Anyone have a solve or things to check?

iPhone 6, iOS 9

Maybe for iCloud but I am not sure how that would solve the issue an Exchange account. Something else is going on here with iOS 9. I have tried everything included downgrading to 8.4.1 deleting exchange and icloud, reseting Network, up grading back to iOS 9 and adding both. Didn't work. Currently I have down graded back to 8.4.1 until a future Apple update.

Updated iPad and iPhone 6 to IOS 9.0 (13A344). Running Yosemite on my MPB. I'm not using iDrive just iCloud.


Notes app - changes on the Mac flow to the iPhone & iPad

Cal & Contacts app - changes on the Mac only flow to the iPad


Logging into iCloud web, it shows in the manage under setting - You are running IOS8, Yosemite or newer on these devices. That's strange it knows the MBP is Yosemite but not recognizing the iPhone and iPad as being IOS9.


I couldn't get the download of IOS 9.0.1 to start. I'll try again tomorrow and see if that fixes the problem.

============


update 1:


iCal: If I do a manual sync on the iPhone it will update its calandar with changes made on the MBP cal. If I make a change on the iPhone it will flow to the MBP w/o doing a manual sync on the iPhone. So it seems to be working in 1 direction, iPhone to MBP.


Contacts: although what looks like a sync symbol is on the Contact screen, tapping it does nothing. Still can sync Contacts.


How to manually sync Calendar. 1.) tap on the word Calendar at the bottom of the screen. 2.) on the next screen swipe down, like refreshing you Mail screen.

Upgrade to IOS 9.0.1 did not fix the problems. In Settings/iCloud I turned off and on Contacts - nope didn't fix it either. When I turned off, I selected to keep contacts on phone. I was concerned if I delete them, w/ this issue I might not be able to sync them from the Cloud. When turning on it asked if I wanted to Merge, I accepted that - but still not syncing to or from the Cloud.

I have the same experience. I synced notes from my Ipod Touch and my Iphone 5c to Outlook (2003) Notes on my Windows 7 computer. As soon as I upgraded the phone, the option to sync notes disappeared from iTunes. It seems like they did this by design. The IOS 9 notes app is a completely different app than IOS 8. I'm ticked too that this was done without any warning and no backward compatability.


Did you ever find a solution? I found a workaround that's not ideal but works for me.
