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.
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

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.
I have both my Exchange account and my Facebook account setup to sync on my Vibrant. The calendar items that sync from Facebook show up fine on the phone and they are in turn synced to Exchange and show up in Outlook. The problem is, they all show up with the wrong time in Outlook... they are all 4 hours early. I live in the Eastern Time Zone, so I think it's that they are listed as Pacific Time. Is there any way to change that?
Also, everytime the phone does a scheduled sync of the Facebook calendar, it adds another copy of the Facebook events to my Outlook calendar. It creates a new one every time. Any suggestions?
For now, I've just had to disable calendar sync for the Facebook account on the phone, but I'd like them to sync.
Doesn't anyone else have their phone syncing with their Exchange and Facebook calendars? If so, do you see the wrong time and duplicates for Facebook calendar items that are added to you Exchange calendar in Outlook?
Someone else must have their phones syncing their Exchange and Facebook calendars, right?
I haven't had this exact problem but something very similar. I use calWidget to display my agenda on my home screen. Any of my face book events that show up on there are behind by 5 hours. When I click to enter the calendar app though, the correct times are listed. This only happens with my facebook events. So you're not alone Yogi, but I have no solution for you.

Thanks for the response. At least now I know I'm not crazy.
You aren't tripping, I have the same exact problem. The only difference is mine are off by 7 hours. Its really pissing me off, and makes my widget totally useless. UGH!!!!!!

Yogi, I am currently experiencing the exact same problem here in our office with one user. The question I have, is why is Active sync even pulling in the Facebook calendar events? My user happens to be using the same email address for both Facebook and work email accounts, could that be why Active sync is pulling the events? In any event, if at this point I could get the Facebook events to show up on the users phone and not her outlook that would be fine. The best solution would be to get the FB events to show up properly in her outlook, (they are showing up about 4 hours early) at the right times and not repeating themselves.
Did you find any solutions?

Unfortunately, no, I never found a solution to this.
I have managed to set up an Exchange account on my phone to sync my work calendar only.
I have got it working but the problem is that I want it "read only" on the phone so that any items I delete on the phone are not deleted on the server.
I have set it to "keep items on the phone" and also "replace items on phone"
The first time I deleted an item on the phone exchange calendar I found it was also deleted on the server/work calendar (I think it was set to "replace on phone")
But since then no matter what I set it to if I delete something on the phone it seems to sync with the server and then come straight back onto the phone so I can't get rid of it...
In WinMo I could explicitly set how to do the sync but can't seem to do that here - any help please?
Okay maybe a coincidence but just noticed something else.
Anything on the work calendar that had been added (at work) via Outlook - if I delete it from the phone it is also deleted off the calendar.
Anything I add to the work calendar using OWA does this yoyo thing with coming back everytime I try to delete it from the phone....
If your using the exchange it is only being stored/read from the one place.
It doesn't store locally.
I don't know how you can delete from the phone and not the server...
I used to save my outlook calendar as an .ics file and then import it to my google calendar. Now I just use touchdown.
That said... I want my calendar to be exactly the same on my phone as it is on our exchange.
There are some recurring meetings which are useful to keep track of at work but clutter the phone calendar.
I guess I could export but then I would have to keep doing it when new meeting are added.
The different behavior regarding appointment created with outlook and owa is odd but interesting.
