Hello all, I would really appreciate some guidance on how to properly setup my syncing.
Today I sync my Hero (3G stock) with Outlook 2007 on my Win XP home computer with HTC sync, and also with my Exchange account at work (HTC sync -> Outlook on Mac via VMware). And of course the phone in its turn synchronizes with the Google cloud. And as an extra bonus I'm running Google Calendar Sync at the home computer. This goes for calendar and contacts, the mails I don't sync at all.
This results in having:
1. Multiple entries of every item, i.e on the phone I have one contact entry called "phone" and one duplicate called "Google" for every contact I have. Same for the calendar.
2. By syncing with 2 different computers I always gets some conflicts when doing the synchronization and I usually have to run every sync 2-3 times before it's complete.
Sorry for being unclear, would like to sort this out. How have you set it up? I thought about skipping the HTC sync at work and running only Google Calendar Sync, but it turns out my company's firewall is blocking this.
Well, no response here, but for further reference I can write down that I have solved it so far by deleting all "Phone" items on the Hero and to sync the calendar with Google Calendar Sync, and for the contacts I use a service called Soocial (www.soocial.com) which seems pretty nice.
Hello!
I've really tried to find a solution to this problem on the internet without any succes.
I have Google Apps. Active sync works great if I only sync the email. If I choose to sync calendar and/or contacts the email stops syncing (but the calendar and contacts work).
The only way I've managed to get it to work is by selecting "as arrive" in the scheduler in activesync on the phone. My dataplan is limited so I only want it to sync every hour, but if I select "every 60 minutes" the email syncing stops working if I also sync contacts or/and calendar.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The standard calendar app doesnt show all calendars. If I add new calendars though there are shown in the standard Calendar app.
Weird enough some third party apps do allow to select all other gmail app calendars, but they are marked as inactive?
How do i get teh calendar to sync all Gmail Apps Calendars?
Weird, when I go into the calendar settings and click calendars, all of them show up.

With google calender the first time the sync occurs, it happnes with the calenders that are enabled google calendar on the web.
Here is what u can do .
1. Go to google.com/calendar and make all the calendars visible
2. In phone - settings /manage applications delete the data from calendar and calender storage.
3. then settings / accounts and sync - re sync calendar.
Now all the calenders will come in calendar app in phone.
Select the ones that u want.
Thanky you
I tried your method of deleting the data and then re-syncing the accounts. But, now even the main calendar from my google account has disappeared and refuses to show up. Is there something missing here??? Cal widget for example shows all the calendars in its configurations but does not show any of the events from the same.
there is something wrong with the default calendar. I am running stock rom xxki3.
Hi, I had similar issue, i think this is one of known issue on android, I tried "clear data" method, sometimes it may work, sometime it doesnt. I google for solution and I found this temporary workaround would solve the issue, atleast for me..
you may want to try this:-
1. Go to android setting, application (all), clear data on calendar storage (WARNING-this step will wipe all calendar entries which were saved internally on your phone)
2. Go to market, download & install this app called: Business calendar (FREE)
(This app have direct connection to google calendar, which will also download and keep all of your calendars entries (including sub calendars)
3. Open business calendar, login with your gmail account, and it will start sync
(manual: more > sync now) it may take few mins, be patient.
this way, your stock or default calendar will get synced as well automatically...try this out
Thanks for the tip. After selecting the sub-calendars on the app, the default calendar also started recognizing the same. Weird.....
This tips is working.
First time, this doesn't work, I had to erase my google account (by the way to refresh my apps ^^).
But the second time, it worked.

I think this is a bug in Samsung Calendar app. The first time the phone synchronize with google calendar, the phone will download all calendars available for the google account. Each calendar has two flags, sync and visible. The first time, all calendars will be flag unsync and hidden (not visible) except our main calendar. After that we can use the calendar app to choose which calendar will be sync and visible. The problem with Samsung Calendar app, if the calendar is flagged as hidden, then the Calendar apps won't recognize the calendar at all, so we can't change the flag to visible. This does not happen with my other phone. So this is not Android bug. I think this bug exist since Samsung Galaxy S. Someone in Galaxy S use sql editor to edit the calendar database. Meanwhile I use Calengoo. Bussiness Calendar can be used as well
Hi all since ICS came out been having problems syncing my entire Google calendar to my Galaxy S2. The phone would only sync the past month and forget the rest and I have been looking all over the internet for a solution but found nothing, some solution also required installing third party apps, but I found a solution that does not require third party apps.
What you need to do; First check what you are using to sync your Google account
Now if you are using Google it will only sync the past month.
Setting>Account and Sync>Add Account>Google
If you are syncing your calender through Google you will only get 1 month in the past.
Now for those that want there entire calendar on there phone like me (past/future events) this is what I did.
>turn off wifi
>disable Google sync
>clear calendar (settings>applications>all) clear calendar and calendar storage
> now turn your wifi on and make sure google sync is disabled.
> now add your G-mail through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
>Fill in the details you [email protected]/password next
>NOW about half way down in the settings list, there is a option to sync calendar
(Period to sync calendar) (select all Calendar) (at the bottom choose what you would like to be synced)
>Select all calendar
>name your account and hit done
> Go to Accounts and sync and manually push sync wait about 2-3 minutes depends on the amount of events in your calendar to download to the phone and you are done.
Please leave a comment if you tried this and it worked.
Good luck

I'm not sure how long I've had this problem, since I tend to use my laptop calendar more than my phone's.
I use Outlook.com for email, contacts, and calendar. I do not use Gmail/Google for these services.
My email client is Nine, which also has a built-in calendar.
I use the built-in LG Calendar, but I've also tried the aCalendar+ app, which I own. Both calendars say they are displaying the Outlook calendar, but nothing actually displays. The Outlook account is registered on the device through the Nine app, and the built in Nine calendar works fine, displaying the actual Outlook calendar content. I have no problems with Contacts sync using the built-in LG Contacts app.
I've tried going into Settings>Accounts>Nine><myemail> to make sure it's set to sync the calendar. But for some reason nothing actually appears in the Calendar app, or in aCalendar. I'm at a loss to know what to try next.
Which setting do you have for the default calendar-app in Nine under Settings-Calender?
I do also use Nine however with an Exchange-account. My default calendar app is Nine and this works fine.
I had the same problem. And 3rd party programs are a good solution in this case. The nice one is Akruto. It doesn't work with email, it is intended to sync calendars, contacts, notes, and tasks. The syncing is two-way, so you'll see all the changes you made across all your devices. Here is an article about it http://www.akruto.com/best-ways-to-sync-android-with-microsoft-outlook/
