I'm brand new to android, and smart phones in general. How do I access google calendar, other than through the web browser? Like is there a way to access it through the gmail app? I hope my question is clear. Thanks!

Add your Google account under "Accounts & Sync" in the settings menu and check the box for Calendar syncing...
It will then show up in the stock Android calendar on your phone.
I'm new as well. Coming from a Blackberry. Does the my calendar that is on the phone sync with the Google Calendar online? When I am adding entry's it ask where do I want to put them...
Laristech, the calendar on the phone syncs with google. I just tried it. I assume it works the other way around too.

Correct, it Syncs back and forth between computer and phone as the information is stored in the cloud. However, when adding new events on the Phone I always add them to the Google calendar, not to "My Calendar". Which is a pain because it always defaults to My Calendar and I have to change it each time I add an entry.

Hey all,
I am having trouble using the touchwiz calendar. I have four calendars to sync and only two of them are successfully syncing. I have toyed around with the settings to no avail. Has anyone had similar difficulties?
When I was using the tw calendar, I noticed it had a "my calendar" option. If you enter items on this calendar, it does not sync to Google. It stays only on your phone.
When u enter an appointment in tw calendar, I believe it defaults to "my calendar". You have to change the calendar manually to one of your Google syncing calendars.

Thank you, that is useful advice, but that was not the problem I was having. I actually found a solution.
I exported the calendar as iCal, deleted it from my google calendar settings, added a new calendar, and imported the events back onto it. Then I re-synced my account and the calendars appropriately synced.
Glad your squared up!

Hi -- if I do not use Gmail for my email, will Google grab any Contacts I place on the phone? If so, how can I prevent this?
to do so you have to go in settings, sync option and disable the contacts synchronization. Easy.

I see what you are saying, but would that not disable me from doing a PC to phone sync for a non-Gmail based email account?
I realize that Everything Is Connected is pretty much Android's theme song, but I need the ability to choose the connections.
Do you know what Google is up to in your phone when your eyes are closed?
I am trying to connect my entire family to (1) calendar. I would like to be able to have all members of family either use Outlook or their Smart phone and update (1) calendar. Any suggestions of which way would be best.

I have a separate google calendar for family events. As to the how...each OS is different. Google has instructions for each OS and mail client it supports.
The app calengoo allows you to connect multiple Google calenders. Works great and there's an iphone app too if you have a divided family.

+1 on the Google calendar, couldn't be easier to use, once u share the calendar, and they accept it, it just shows up on the phone.
We moved to Google calendar for our team calendar at work and it is great

For some reason the Gmail and Xoom email apps will not sync with all my Gmail contacts. Some contacts don't show. All are available through the Gmail website interface.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure you haven't got a filter active in the contacts app on your Xoom? By filter, I mean "View only contacts with email", "View only contacts with a phone number" etc.

I actually using free (add supported ) Bussiness Calendar. It synchronizes with both: google and samsung calendars
It simply works like bridge between them. Now I can add event on any calendar and it will appear in others within minutes.

and there is no way to make calendar samsung app to sync with google calendar ?
I use the Samsung Calendar and I have Google calendar and Facebook calendar on it. You just have to add the Google calendar on the options. Actually I haven't done nothing, it's automatic.
Samsung Calendar app is much better than the Google Calendar one For me it's one of the best app made by Samsung for our Note 4.
when adding events to your calendar you're asked where it needs to be saved(local, Samsung, Google)
choose your google account and it will be synced with Google instead.
if you want it to add events to your google account by default you'll have to remove all your Samsung, Google, and outlook accounts, and then add them again starting with your google account.(unless Samsung finally fixed this)
With business calendar you dont have to do anything. You can leave business calandar widget on one af the screens and use either google, samsung or business calendars and rest of them will get synchronized. I never tried without using business calendar widged because i found it very useful. It will probably work, so you can forget about using it and let it just do synchronization between other calendars.
