Hi,
i recently came across google sync,
google sync is over the air and outlook is via USB,

What i want to do is have my outlook/hd2 contacts sync with google and hotmail, so all 3 ways i have the same contacts, is that possible??
please let me know.
thanks.

here's your answer for google sync - : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678339
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 don't have a problem with that also. But the question remains: have you find a workaround for the problem described above

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.
Hi all.
Does anyone know of an app that can synchronise the "PC Sync" calendar created by HTC Sync on an Android phone to a specific Google calendar?
Secondly does any one know of a reliable calendar reminder app with a snooze function?
I've tried "Calendar Snooze" and following the last update it constantly triggers reminders even when it's been dismissed. It was the first app in over 3 months to cause me to restart my phone(!)
Thanks in advance
I don't know if this is what you mean.

Thanks lukehluke...but that's not quite what I was looking for.
I use HTC Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to my phone. My company won't allow a direct sync to my google calendar.
HTC Sync creates a new calendar on my phone that just contains my work entries. This is fine but I wanted to know if there was away to sync those entries from my phone to a Google account online .
Hope that helps clear it up.
@SpartanGrey => Sorry for my bad english but for your sync problem, try Google Calendar Sync. It works fine for me in my Company.
Calendar Sync is too limited for me.

Thanks Thibault1403...but I can't use Calendar Sync.
2 reasons;
1. My company prohibits sync'ing direct to an online account.
2. Calendar Sync will only sync with the main calendar and I wanted to sync work items to a specific "sub-Calendar" in my main account.
Thanks for the advice though.
Hi people!!
Well, I need my pc and my PDA sync calendars without connecting them everytime, so I discovered that if when I'm creating a new appointment in the calendar I select to save it in google calendar (My calendar default) then I see this appointment in Google calendars in my pc automatically, so I can sync it with outlook with google calendar sync.
But this only work if I select to save it in Google calendar, not in my calendar, so, can I erase "My calendar" and have only Google calendar? Or just make default google calendar it would be ok also!
The last question, can I disable that syncing Facebook account countacts put birthdays into calendar too?¿
Thanks a lot
hey,
I have not found the option to make google calander standard, but It will be an option in Android 2.2 (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770152)

Is there a google calendar app that comes with Froyo ?
I've been trying to sync my handset with my google account but nothing gets synced even though it says its being synced sucessfully in the settings menu.
The default calendar app looks like an HTC calendar and I dont have an icon for a google calendar anywhere. All I have is a google calendar widget which shows nothing.
I'm running a custom ROM btw.
Thanks.
I use the htc calendar because it syncs with your google calendar

Hmm, OK so the HTC calendar can actually sync with your google calendar. I just need to figure out why mine refuses to sync.
Could it be syncing them, but just not displaying them?
From the calendar, do menu-> more-> calendars and see if there are checkmarks next to the calendars you want to display.

Wow, I think that's the lowest posts-per-day ratio I've ever seen!!
I was going to post the same suggestion. Make sure your calendar is set to sync in settings>accounts>google, then make sure the calendar you want to see is set to sync AND display in the calendar app.
Where is the calendar you want to sync? If the calendar is aready on google, you have a problem, but if you are trying to sync, say, an outlook calendar with google, I'm pretty sure you have to import it to their servers before it will sync. I don't think the calendar stored in the phone (like the pcsync calender) or contacts that are stored in the phone will sync to your google account unless you import it.

I did a hard reset and I was able to get the sync working now. I'm thinking something probably happened when I synced with outlook initially. All of my calendars are showing up now.
Thanks guys.
