Google calendar sync on Android/Hero. - Hero, G2 Touch General

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.

Unable to synchronize appointment created on phone with Outlook (PC)

Hi,
I've just tested the synchronization of Contacts and Calendar with the Hero, and I can't seem to get it to synchronize appointments made on the phone to Outlook on my PC. I have the latest version of HTC Sync (2.0.4) installed. I haven't changed any of the default settings.
Anyone else have the same problem? Please test it.
Thank you.
when you create new events in the phone calendar, you need to attend to the top-most drop-down, which is to which calendar the new event should be added. The choices are "My Calendar", "Outlook", and then your Google Calendars listed.
If you get this wrong, the sync won't work as expected. The default is the first in the list "My Calendar", and I took ages wondering why it wouldn't sync to my Google Calendar, which was the third in the list.
Then I read about this in another thread, set my google cal when creating a new event, and it did sync.
tedious though.
I can second this.
Just change the Calendar to Outlook and it will sync as expected.
Caught me out also!
Thank you sooooo much!
and if you go into "calendars" you can permanently de-select the ones you don't use - all but Google in my case, perhaps all but Outlook in yours - and then it should be fine. And I think the new event calendar selector remembers your last choice anyway.

HTC Evo Calendar deletes ALL recurring events

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?
You can sync Outlook to Google Calendar

Question about the calendar

Hi guys!
I just bought my SG and I have it setup with my exchange server at work.
I noticed when first used the calendar I had to setup a google account to use it? Why i gods name would I want a google calendar when I have exchange?
I also noticed when I create a new appointment on the phone I always have to choose which calendar I want to use.
The "my calendar" is always by default. Is there a way to change default calendar to my corporate calendar?
Or even better, delete or disable my calendar and google calendar and only use my corporate account?
Thanx in advance
I've got the same problem, however I am using Google Calendar with 2 calendars. "My Calendar" is always the default, there doesn't seem to be a way to delete it.
Anyone have any ideas?
bump, bump.....
Anyone any idea about how to change the default calendar ?
The "My Calendar" is the phones calendar, so u will not be able to delete it and I cant see a way how to change the default calendar. Cause when u make an appointment in the phone, firstly it needs to put it to the phones calendar and then sync with other calendars.
Just set a sync with exchange calendar and it will send the appointments from My calendar to your exchange calendar.

Hi Mikulec, nice to see you here in the galaxy fora
Thanks for the explanation. But... I use google calendar and I want all my local appointments sync with my google account. Unfortunately when I enter a appointment in the local "my calendar" it doesn't sync with google. I have save the appointment explicitely to the "google calendar". (which is a hassle)

Nice to see u here too.
Looks like u are right. The sync only works when u make appointment in google calendar via web, it then sync with google calendar on your mobile, but its not happing the other way (from mobile to web).
So u have to save the appointment to google calendar and not to my calendar. Which is as u said hassle but it is kind of obvious. Because when u make an appointment in mobile and save it to my calendar and then it will sync with google calendar, u will have double appointments, u will have to disable the showing of my calendar in the settings.
So that means we will have to live with this "functionality".
it works perfectly for me, Google Apps are my #1 office tools, i hate Outlook with passion!

Never put my Calendar items in the clouds, I'll like to keep them in my hands. Never use Google Calendar or similar.

But, do you save each calendar entry made on your sammy to your google sync then?
i sync my outlook to google calendar, this way i have both of my devices in sync
Android + PC + Windows Mobile
I've no secrets to keep, so i don't mind having my stuff on the clouds.
but anyone being paranoid about having stuff on the google servers, can always use their own home/office server for that kind of stuff.

i only use 1 calendar account, so i don't have that problem the OP has
from the calendar program, click the menu button, then select settings, then Calendars. from here you should be able to select and deselect calendars.
try this. does this make whichever calendar is remaining the default one for new entries?

Sadly not, I only have my google calendar selected, the my calendar is unchecked, yet when I create a new entry the my calendar is still the default calendar, annoying to say the least.
Calendar sync
I've been able to get the exchange sync working except for one thing - the calendar appointments are a half hour early? The time zone/time is correct on the phone, and the appointment times appear OK on an iPhone. Any ideas? Other than that it was a dream to get the exchange account set up (gotta love staff that buy unsupported corporate phones then want support)!

Did you get the google calendar working from mobile to web ? If so, what's the resolution ?
I've been banging my head against the exchange-SGS for about 72hrs now.
Coming from an WM sony X1 I was gutted to find no 'perfect' exchange on SGS. I now have my exchange a/c, 1x pop3 a/c and a hotmail a/c just about sorted now. I've found that the stock SGS calendar can be a bit iffy on calendar appointments so I removed the account, then re-installed it but with out the calendar being sync'd. I've un sync'd the calendar from the 'must have' google a/c. I'm now running touchdown just to bring in the calendar from my exchange a/c. K9 mail looks after my other pop3 & hotmail a/c.
Although nice and big the SGS calendar is i've found pure calendar widgets best for my home page at present. Its a shame that I've had to cough up dosh just to do what a WM phone does best.

Gmail Calender after sync entry lost

Hy,
i have a Galaxy S since last Thursday and now i noticed that when i put a new entry into the calender from the Google Calender Website, after a while the entry disappears on the Phone and on the Website from Google. But not directly after the sync. Because i can see it on the Device after the input on the Site. Just a few hours later it´s gone
Tried it 4 times today and always after some hours the new entrys where gone.
When i put anything in "My Calender" on the Phone it doesn´t disappear.
Any one else with this strange behavior?
No i try to deactivate "My Calender" and use just the Google Calender to see what will happen.
Edit:
Well now it noticed that the Location in my Phone was not set correctly and the new entrys in the Google Calender of the Website differed + 1 hour from the entry in the phone. I´ve set it now to the right location and will see if this maybe was the problem. But shouldn´t it no matter?
I have some recurring events in google calendar (when im supposed to be at work)
On vacations and such i delete some of these events. On the website it works as its supposed to. on my SGS it seems to ignore those i deleted. They keep appearing on every sync on my phone. The website is not affected, only calendar on the phone.
I want my Nexus One back. Everything just worked on that one, no stupid bugs.
After i corrected the location setting in the Phone yesterday and deactivated the "my calender" it seems to work as well. Didn´t delet my entries anymore.
Now i´ve activated "my calender" again to see if this caused the problem or the wrong location setting.

Maybe your entries are in "my calender". The Galaxy S has 2 calenders. One only for the phone, that can be synced with outlook for example. The other ons is the Google Calender that syncs with the Google Server.
The Problem now is that every entry you type in the calender on the phone gets by default into "my calender" IF you do not change the setting of the entry to you Google Calender and will not show up in the Website. Hope it gets an update to set the default calender.
Maybe it helped you.

Installing the stock android calendar solves the issue. Appointments made in the stock calendar are saved by default in the google calendar.
I unchecked 'my calendar' on my galaxy now.
I hope this works.
Thanks for helping

Now that i´ve activated "my calender" the entry from 30 minutes back is gone again, but the ones from yesterday are still there. So i have to deactivate this one.
I have seen that i have a programm (Google Calender Sync) on my pc that syncs the calender from google with my outlook. Could this cause the problem? i try everything now to get a solution for this.

Gmail Calendar Sync

Yesterday my gf said she wasn't getting all of her Google calendars synced on her phone. She has her gmail calendar and a couple from work that are shared. So I cleared the calendar memory, now none of the gmail calendars will sync, but the exchange calendars does. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I've run into this problem as well. Here's what I've come up with:
First, have her log into her main Gmail account and go to the calendar. She'll have to select (on the left, you know like 'checking' them almost) whichever calendars she wants to sync with.
Once she does that, you'll need to clear out all settings on your phone. As in, wipe data from the calendars. Once that's done, go into the Calendar settings and re-sync. You'll then see the calendars re-appear when you choose which ones you want to show up on your phone's calendar.
Hope that made sense, this has worked for me.

No problem. I had literally just done that process no more than 20 minutes before you had posed that question. Glad it worked for ya.
I have no trouble getting it to sync with calendars I manually add in iCal format. The problem I have are the optional ones that Google provides. Specifically the NFL football schedule ones. My phone doesn't seem to want to pick that calendar up at all.
When they're listed on the main calendar page, are they colored like your accounts you can sync to?

Yep. I tried searching for the problem and apparently it has nothing to do with the phone in particular, but the format Google puts their sports calendars in. Lame move by Google. Also saw that an alternative option is to use Yahoo's sports team calendar. Just tried it out and works like a charm.
I have the same issue with all sports calendars...apparently its not just the epic or android..but a problem on the iphone too

PC Sync
I just flashed the Revolution HD 3.6.1 from 3.6.0 and now my stock calendar widget and calendar app only allow me to sync the "pc sync" calendar option. Neither of my Gmail calendars even show up in the list of calendars to display. I've done everything from clearing the data in the settings menu, I've checked my calendars online. Any idea what I can do to sync these?
