I'm really missing the way my Evo integrates my Exchange calendar with my Facebook Calendar. I know it's being done through Sense, but does anyone know if there's a way to accomplish this on the Xoom?

As you know, Google don't have to/must not know everything, especially calendar entries of buisyness man.
I don't want google to know my appointments a.s.o.!
Is it possible to use the google calendar on the phone without synchronizing with the Google server but sync with the personal outlook?
Perhaps there is a independent calendar app, don't need to access the htc or google calendar, but is able to sync with outlook... AND is able to set appointments as private?
Perhaps it is possible to have my own "google server" for me and my family at home?
There's absolutely no need for synchronizing with google, you can always uncheck it if you don't want it and only synchronize with Outlook.
And there's also no need to even use the built-in calendar application, there are others in the market.
You just have to have a Google account, but that doesn't mean you have to give google your appointment details.
I don't know if there's an application where you can set your appointments as private, at least for Exchange server it is not possible, unfortunately.
I've not found a stand alone calendar application in the market with their own database. If you know one please tell me.
All calendars i found use the build-in google or htc calendarDatabase.
Yes, that's possible, I may be wrong. But still, with the built-in calendar you don't have to sync with your google calendar. If you just sync with Outlook, even though you'll see your appointments in the Google calendar app, they won't be synchronized with your Google account.
I use the HTC calendar app and sync it to my PC's outlook calendar and HTCSync. Same with my contacts. Don't go anywhere near Google for any of that
Yes, the htc calendar is a stand-alone app. But if you use your business calendar for privat, too, you need the possibility to set appointments as privat. And the htc calendar isn't capable of that.
I use Outlook (through Exchange) calendar intensely and need it on-line on my phone as well. In my old WM-world this has always been seamless. On the X10, however, I'm having difficulties. The phone's calendar app is linked directly to G-mail which I absolutely don't want to use and while there seems to be the possibility to add other calendars to the phone's view this is actually greyed out in the settings menu. Anyone know how to fix this? I.e. I want to have my Outlook/Exchange calender synchronized with my phone's calendar directly. On the Hero this seems to be standard (HTC no doubt), but here I don't have a clue how to proceed. Hating Moxier with a vengance, BTW...
Help?/M
I think that Exchange is not implemented in Android 1.6 which is why SE included Moxier in the basic functionality*
I am using Moxier Mail and Calender and they work a treat and sync with my work email/calender with no problems...
* Although a friend with a Nexus ONE has also had difficulties syncing his phone calender with Exchange, so it may not be just an Android version issue.

Indeed Exchange is not in 1.6 but it is in 2.1. It IS however on the X10 Mini Pro which is also 1.6. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I'll find out more when I get a Mini tomorrow...
As any widget I've found to put my short-term calendar on the screen (like in HTC Sense) takes its data from the phone's calendar and NOT from Moxier, I'm screwed. Or not good at finding widgets?
Thanks anyway/M
How do you sync the Omnia 7 Calendar with your Microsoft Office Calendar (2010)?
Pretty sure it's not possible directly.

Now I understand why and what to do: I have to get used to having/maintaining everything "in the cloud", which actually makes perfect sense.
I'm now maintaining all my contacts, calendar appointments, podcasts, pictures, and videos - in the cloud (my Windows Live Account).
Don't get too used to it if you don't want to. I'm sure that there will soon be sync apps available, including a SyncML client from Funambol. I'm not a fan of their stuff, but SyncML is a standard protocol (with much criticism).
The interesting thing is:-
I can create/update/edit appointments on my WP7 phone, however, these will not sync with my Windows Live Account.
If I, however, create/update/edit appointments in the calendar on my Windows Live Account, these will indeed be synced with my WP7 phone, BUT overwriting any and all appointments already created on the phone on the same dates(!), IF indeed I've turned on "Windows Live" under Calendar > Calendars on my WP7 phone.
As far as I know, I have no way of specifying whether the WP7 calendar should have priority over the Windows Live Account calendar, or vice-versa, thereby controlling the direction of the syncronization.
All this - in terms of "cloud computing" - makes perfect sense... nevertheless, it's not very practical, as I cannot create/update/edit appointments on my WP7 phone and expect the changes to appear in my Windows Live Account calendar.
As I use the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector to get access to and maintain all my contacts AND appointments "in the cloud" in my Windows Live Account through Microsoft Outlook 2010, - the way I understand it - I have to access my Windows Live Account calendar through the WP7 browser and create/update/edit appointments there (if/when I'm on the move and do not have access to a computer with online access) in order for these to be properly transfered/updated on my WP7 phone.
Not exactly intuitive, is it?
I know it sounds strange, but i'm using gmail as cloud and it syncs perfectly between the calendar on wp7 and the calendar on gmail and the calendar on outlook on my desktop. For syncing between calendar on gmail and outlook i'm using gsyncit which is free if you're using it only to sync calendar.
Apparently it's better to use google cloud than microsoft cloud...
Hopefully, someone at Microsoft will hear of this, and take the appropriate measures... (embarrassing...)

I don't really know anyone with your calendar problem! All WP7 phones i have played with sync fine with live calendar in both ways...
Errr... And you've played with Samsung Omnia 7 as well? If yes, then please explain how you've synced your calendar.

Hi guys!
I just got my Omnia 7 yesterday and set my Live account with the phone up. It syncs perfectly both ways instantly, calendar, email and contacts. The only gripe that I have is that I dont get a notification if I receive a new email in a folder. The live tile displays only the main inbox
I bit the bullet and paid for online exchange hosting. I find the syncing is much faster then live and it removes most limitations I had like
Outlook Photos would upload to live
Company name could not be any length.
I know it's couple only but it did bug me and I hated having lot's ofl folders with the same information (contacts x 2 calandar x 2)
hi
I am looking for an app to sync yahoo calendar.
Currently it's easy to sync a google calendar with many apps.
But if i want to have another calendar, it's impossible to include it.
Does android have "blocked" this feature to stay alone in the system ???
So if someone could give me advices, it would be nice.
There is an app called Just-Sync--for-Yahoo-Calendar
You can find it easily
:laugh:
Does anyone know how to get the Facebook calendar to sync? Specifically with Pure Grid Calendar (though it gets it's synced calendars from the Google app).
TYIA!

HaxSync works for me. Though I dont use Facebook that much, but my friend's birthdays does get synced.
