Hi,
I use ADP1.1 and I think since Root Access or maybe even before that (so since the beginning) my google calendar doesn't sync correctly with my G1.
First and most important it only syncs about 30-50% of all events. The rest doesn't show up, even so it's online at google calendar.
And then when I delete a calendar online and import a new one (to update calendar from Entourage/iCal) the G1 shows all the events it syncs twice or three times.
Is there any solution or a reason why that happens? I've asked it before but no answer in another forum. I've read something about two events similar not syncing. But why?
I wanna have my whole calendar from Entourage/iCal on my G1. Is there any way?
Thx.

This probably isn't the cause, but I found one syncing bug in CalendarProvider so far: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1860 This would happen while attempting to sync some repeating events (with no timezone?) and it kills the whole sync process. You can see if it's affecting you by going to Dev Tools / Exception Browser and looking for the exception I quoted in that bug.
As for multiple copies of events, it's possible the G1 still has the old calendars you've deleted (especially if the sync process is being interrupted). Are the events different colours? Do you see the correct set of calendars in Menu / My Calendars (also from there Menu / Add Calendars)?
I'll check that, thx.
No it's fine online, only one event, but on the G1 there are multiple events.
Just goin out on a limb, but I assume you are manually syncing also to make sure?
I deleted the calendar of the G1 because of duplicates (again, after syncing with a new google calendar, strange). Now syncing is working fine.
I sync it with iCal now (instead of importing an iCal file), but now somehow iCal sync missed two events of about 40 which weren't shown at google's online calendar. Strange, very strange.
Well, at least all google events online now can be found on my G1.
Thx anyway.
This thread will be moved to Dream general.
Has nothing to do with developement.
Thank you.

When the new version of Gmail came out, users started having issues importing contact files that were exported from MS Outlook. The biggest issue, and one I just ran into, was that street addresses weren't coming in. Everything else was, but not physical address info.
I researched it in GoogleGroups and found the solution. At the top right of the Gmail inbox page is the option 'Older Version', click it and do the import of your contact CSV file, everything comes over as it should. Afterwards, click the same link (now labeled 'Newer Version').
If you've used the Anniversary or Birthday date fields in your contact records, there is no equivalent in Google Contacts -- but the dates do come over in the Contact Comments, and are labeled. Google Contacts doesn't have 'categories' (they have 'groups'), so any you've assigned in Outlook come over into the Contact Comments as well; would be better if catergories came across as groups -- but -- oh well
Sync MS Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar App
There is a program that lets you sync your calendar over from Outlook to Google: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/ ... swer=98563
I've just used it, and it works well. One thing I found though is that if you have used the Anniversary and/or Birthday fields in your Contact records in Outlook, even though these dates appear in your Outlook Calendar, they don't sync over to Google with the calendar sync program. Google Contacts don't have birthday or anniversary date fields, so it must be related to that. Everything else comes over though, repeating, multi-days, and everything else came over just as they were created in Outlook.
Contacts?
I was wondering if there was another way to get your contacts off of your current phone to the G1, besides syncing your outlook contacts to gmail and having all of the on your sim. The reason I ask is because I have about 400 contacts and I would like to still have them all. Also would ppc backup work for the G1? Since there is no actual talk about it what is your thoughts?
I think its to early to be asking this question, unless someone here has a G1 already, which i don't think is the case.
As for the PPC Backup I highly doubt it will work...but i can tell you someone will make a program that does the same thing as PPC Backup.
outlook, sync and google calandar
I use my dash with outlook. I also sync my outlook calendar with my google calendar. Here's my question. I know you can't currently sync the g1 with outlook, but i can access my google calendar. I'm in Salt Lake City Utah and we aren't even scheduled for 3G yet. Do the events download to the phone or is it just through the browser? I live in a mountainous area and sometimes i don't have phone signal. When this happens, do I have no calendar? Same with my contacts and phone numbers. Have you had a chance to use the calendar? Thanks!
You might want to check out the user guide, it's in PDF format. You can use the forum search feature to find links to it, or, go to the T-Mobile site, they have it there as well.

outlook, google calandar and multi tasking...
my question about outlook isn't in the instruction manual that i could find. I'm curious if my google calendar data is available on the phone if im out out cell range and can't go on line. Here's another question. On my dash, if i go to anther program, my explorer shuts down and if i go back to it to go on line, i have to look up whatever web page i was looking at all over again. Does the G1 keep you on line even though your off doing something else? How have you found it does at multi-tasking. Any slow down? I'm always having to reboot my dash... Thanks, Scott

I wish I could answer this but I dont understand what exactly you are asking.
Applications do not seem to close they stay open. So if you open ebay.com and go back to it at the end of the day it will still be open....

Google Calendar Sync
Download google calendar sync. it is easy, you can set it up to sync on your computer. I have it to sync every 30 minutes.
Here is the Link
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en-ie&answer=89955
If you have a lot of Outlook categories and want the same on google calendars, i do the following.
I have 1 outlook calendar with about 8 colored categories.
I made 8 google calendars, named the same as the 8 categories.
Downloaded/purchased an app called gsyncit, which syncs all items to the corresponding google calendars. Works pretty well.
I use google calendars for mobile device since it's easier to read then mobile outlook, but at home/work, Outlook still rules as the organizer. Goolgle services are awesome for backing stuff up. I am notorious for blowing away my outlook personal folders when I am trying things out..
I am curious to see what the calendar app is like for dream, need to find some screenshots or something.
edit: i use to use the google calendar sync, but I could only sync 1 calendar from google calendar so that didn't work out to well for my categories. Hopefully they will beef up Google Calendar Sync.
Thanks guys I will try this!

I don't have a Dream, but I know that google has something called "Google Gears". Google Gears is suppose to let you view online data, offline. AFAIK the only google app for mobile that does that right now is Picasa. There are some desktop version sites that do it also.
I don't know if you are looking at your calendar data via the web, or through the calendar app in android. But obviously, if you are using the browser, and you are out of range, you won't be able to view your calendar stuff, unless they have made google gears work with their web browser and calendar.
As for the calendar app, I assume it works like outlook, so once your events/appointments are on your phone in the app,t hey are there for good, whether or not you are in cell range.
As for your explorer question, I can't help with the android part of that, but I have a blackjack II on 6.1, and if i am on a webpage then decide i want to open an app, do whatever then go back to the page, i just press the back button and it takes me back to the page I was on.
I also have some silly hard key for internet, but hwen i press that is takes me to a home page which is annoying. But just hitting the back button, or going back to internet explorer through the start menu, takes me to the last page i was on.
Contact Sync Issue
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
So I took the advice of another member and deleted all my contacts on gmail. Changed the view to older and imported my contacts. Then I sync on my device and all my contacts are back on my phone including the addresses etc...
The only problem is my notes are not all on the phone. I have a long set of notes for some people and on one contact half the notes show up the other half dont. I go into gmail and it shows all the notes for the contact...
Seems strange, anyone else?
google calendar
that answers a lot of my questions. On my dash if i go to another app then go back to internet explorer, it's shut down and i have to reopen it and thread through to get back to where i was. The calendar question is still a mystery to me. It was my understanding that they didn't include sync so you would use google calendar. (I have the app the uploads my outlook into my online google calendar. I use my phone as a pda for business. I'm assuming if im out of cell range, I can't access my appointments. Here's hoping for a real calendar on my g1 that syncs with outlook! Looking forward to your next post. Scott
go look at my post in this section
the app i loaded from google let me cross sync with outlook
now if they can just get this working with contacts
i am on the g1 sorry about short reply
Glad my info worked for you. Bad news about the notes, maybe when we get our G1's, we'll figure it out
If my memory recalls, there are labeled fields in Outlook that google doesn't support.
I'm sure with a more detailed syncing program we can sync what info go into what field of Google.
For example:
Birthday in outlook...Google doesn't have a birthday field. It notes it as a birthday.

You can have a second google calendar called birthdays and sync all appointments from outlook with the category of birthday assigned to them. This would be filtered through an app called GSyncIt
how about notes and tasks
is there anyway to sync these??
Hi all,
playing with the Hero. I am syncing my google calendar with my Hero and anything I add to the google calendar gets sync'd down to the Hero, but if I delete something on there Hero it doesn't seem to delete it on google calendar or if I add a new date on the hero, it doesn't seem to put it in google calendar.
Any tips?
Thanks all.
worked one bit out. I need to make sure when I add the appt, it is added to the correct calendar, not the local Hero one. Now to sort the deletion bit
I can now add dates on the hero and they appear on google calendar.
Sorted it out, I think
you make the forum redundant
any ideas on how to sync ical with google calendar?
tried calaboration but didn't work

How did you solve the problem?? I have the same problem, if I create a calender event in the Hero it get synced correctly to the google web calender, but if I delete it in the Hero it will not get deleted in the google web calender.
Note that if I instead delete it in the web calender if works so the problem is only when you delete an event in the Hero.
Thanks for pointing this out... I never noticed that you need to select the correct calendar or nothing gets synced to Google and thus back down to my Mac.
Anyone know how to make a particular calendar the default or if you can delete 'My Calendar' and the 'Outlook Calendar' ? Neither of which I would use.
cheers

The mobile remembers the last calender you selected so once you added an event to the google calender it will be the default calender.
Ah, thanks.
Just recived a mail from HTC Supoort that they can confirm that this is a bug in the HTC Hero calender, so I guess the solution is either to try to remove the Hero calender an installa the standard one or to wait for an update from HTC :-(
hmmm... doesn't seem to sync deleted events at all to Google. Better ensure that any deleted events are done online or on the Mac/PC Google synced calendar.
Did they say when it will be fixed ?
you can also hide the outlook and my calendar
in calendar, press menu and then calendars
here you can untick the my calendar and outlook.
and JesperDS is correct, it should remember the last one you selected when you created an item and automaticlly default to that one the next time you create one.
It does indeed remember the last calendar used
Hi,
I have just noticed that despite having events in my Google calendar which go back many months/years (e.g Annual Leave or Shifts worked), my Hero doesnt seem to sync anything prior to Mid July 2009 in its calendar.
All that appears prior to mid July is peoples birthdays.
Anyone got any ideas how I can set it to synce EVERY event/item in my Google calendar going back several years??
Cheers

Google calendar sync stopped
It started with Wi-Fi and now the same error message comes with gprs too.
The message is: "Calendar Storage has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
This comes after 15 sec use.
I've got a stock Evo I'm testing for 30 days (90% sure I'll keep it) and sync'd my Outlook 2003 calendar to it. For some reason, when I delete ONE occurrence of a recurring event, it deleted EVERY occurrence of that event.
After going to the HTC Seattle event the other night, I spoke to a few HTC reps about it, showing them the issue. I even created an example recurring event and it had the option of 'Delete All Events' or 'This and Future Events'.
The HTC folks were stumped, since all their phones would allow you to delete just the current recurring event, instead of every single instance.
Any ideas? I really need to be able to get rid of past recurring events so I know when I actually missed something truly important.
You will need to use the "@gmail" calendar and not "my calendar" on the phone.
My wife had the same problem...i didnt.
She synced her calendar with outlook, i didnt.
Her reoccuring dates wouldnt allow to delete a single instance...mine would.
She was using the "my calendar", I was using the "@gmail" calendar.
To fix the problem for her I exported her "my calendar" and set her phone to use the @gmail google calendar and then imported her calendar into that and it fixed the problem.
Or you could maintain your calendar in Outlook and then just sync it everytime changes are made.
Another option (which i would have her use but it currently doesnt not support outlook 2010) is Google Calendar Sync. That will keep your outlook and google calendar in sync using two way.
Crap.... Really? Darn...
Thanks for the reply! I guess I'll need to do some research on G-Calendar.
I use my phone for everything, and then back it up to my Outlook as a reserve, so I guess I'll need to create a G-Mail account as well.
Any advice on migration?

I have both my Exchange account and my Facebook account setup to sync on my Vibrant. The calendar items that sync from Facebook show up fine on the phone and they are in turn synced to Exchange and show up in Outlook. The problem is, they all show up with the wrong time in Outlook... they are all 4 hours early. I live in the Eastern Time Zone, so I think it's that they are listed as Pacific Time. Is there any way to change that?
Also, everytime the phone does a scheduled sync of the Facebook calendar, it adds another copy of the Facebook events to my Outlook calendar. It creates a new one every time. Any suggestions?
For now, I've just had to disable calendar sync for the Facebook account on the phone, but I'd like them to sync.
Doesn't anyone else have their phone syncing with their Exchange and Facebook calendars? If so, do you see the wrong time and duplicates for Facebook calendar items that are added to you Exchange calendar in Outlook?
Someone else must have their phones syncing their Exchange and Facebook calendars, right?
I haven't had this exact problem but something very similar. I use calWidget to display my agenda on my home screen. Any of my face book events that show up on there are behind by 5 hours. When I click to enter the calendar app though, the correct times are listed. This only happens with my facebook events. So you're not alone Yogi, but I have no solution for you.

You aren't tripping, I have the same exact problem. The only difference is mine are off by 7 hours. Its really pissing me off, and makes my widget totally useless. UGH!!!!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yogi, I am currently experiencing the exact same problem here in our office with one user. The question I have, is why is Active sync even pulling in the Facebook calendar events? My user happens to be using the same email address for both Facebook and work email accounts, could that be why Active sync is pulling the events? In any event, if at this point I could get the Facebook events to show up on the users phone and not her outlook that would be fine. The best solution would be to get the FB events to show up properly in her outlook, (they are showing up about 4 hours early) at the right times and not repeating themselves.
Did you find any solutions?

Unfortunately, no, I never found a solution to this.
Just thought I'd share my experience on this. Before I got my DZ, I was used to sync'ing my Outlook calendar (Outlook 2007) with my WinMo phone (TP2).
With the DZ, I thought I would use HTC's own HTC Sync software. This can sync various items to the phone from a PC, e.g. calendar, bookmarks, files, contacts, etc. You can download it from HTC's website - http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
However, I found it didn't handle repeating appointments properly at all, something I've raised with HTC (but had no response yet). If I change one instance of a repeat appointment (e.g. different time, or deleted it), it just didn't seem to pick it up, and didn't sync the change to my phone.
I then thought I would try out Google Calendar Sync - http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
Google Calendar Sync works much, much better. I sync'd my Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar initially, then removed my "PC Sync" calendar from my phone, and sync'd my Google Calendar with my phone. It is working fine so far, it picks up things like changes in single instances of repeat appointments.
I'm still using HTC Sync for sync'ing bookmarks and photos, but not my calendar any more.
