Hello,
I have recently been offered a new Galaxy Note 3. SM-N9006
So far everything works fine except that I cannot synchronize contacts and calendar from my Google account or contacts from Facebook. Evne not having access to them.
In fact, the contact synchronization and calendar options in the settings (Accounts/Google/My account/...) do not exists as it does on my Galaxy SIII.
I only have in these settings the following:
Synchronize applications
Synchronize contacts détails
Gmail
But no Synchronize contacts and calendar and other Google items like Google play films ot books etc..
Same thing from Facebook (No Synchronize contacts)
So when I go to the contacts setting for example, I don't have the visibility on any goggle account.
All Gapps work fine. Gmail works fine.
I saw several topics on this forum and on Google research I I did not find anything yet.
Model N9006ZCUBMI3
Build JSS15.N9006ZCUBMI5
Android 4.4
Thanks for any help

Hello,
I would like to know if somthings exists (like ActiveSync) to synchronise your contacts and Calendar with Gmail ?
AFAIK this is the best thing so far...
I've read that there's a team at Google workign on this already but for now we have this:
http://www.grinn.net/blog/dev/2006/04/incorporate-google-calendar-into.html
I watched the link you sent me but the sync is a one way sync from google calendar to Outlook and then to your PDA. It seems to be the only thing existing for the moment.
Waiting for Google to correct this has they always do
I found this adress from google, listing all the APIs you can use to make applications working with the Google web sites and softs :
<http://code.google.com>
It could be useful to someone if he wants to make this kind of synch tool...
It seems rather weird that if you were to key in appointments on your phone which will not be appearing on the google calendar. It be a good idea to have your calendar to be published onto a website where everyone can see your schedule (if you let them) or at least they wil know when you will be busy or not.
Even the google works, you still need to have a google account to view the time table.
Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.

Hi,
I have two main issues with the Samsung Galaxy S.
1.
I am missing the option to choose, which Google Contacts I want to sync with my telephone. By default the device syncs ALL my Google contacts. Even the ones I've sent an Email once in the past. I would expect to choose the group of contacts to sync with. So I could select the "My Contacts" group and would only sync the ones I had conversation with and I manually moved to that group.
Is there any way to make this work? Do other Android handsets have this option? Could I somehow install this on the Samsung as well?
2.
I have two different calendars on my Google Account. One for my daily appointments and one for birthdays. But the Calendar App on the device does only sync the standard calendar. I'm not able to choose which ones I want to sync. But when I look on the google apps android information page (I'm new, so I'm not allowed to post a link), then there is a screenshot from calender view on an Android phone where definitely two different calendars are synced. So it seems again a drawback "implemented" by Samsung.
Anyone having the same problems? Any hints what to do? Maybe a workaround with other calendar apps?
I must regret that the Palm Pre was very good in syncing and customizing what to sync. I did not expect such a lack of options on Google OS driven phone. So this special task was a step back for me.
I thought it would be a great idea to sync my work outlook account with Google calendar via Google sync on the desktop.
I synced my outlook to Google calendar just find until I realized that there is no option to select a sub calendar so it synced thousands of events from my outlook to my primary calendar in Google.
Since my Google calendar account is also synced with my phone, my phone now has thousands of events with out the ability to toggle them getting my personal and work calenders all in one.
I went into Google via web, and deleted ALL events and wiped everything clean. I wanted my phone to also be clean. When I synced my phone the changes did not reflect what I did on the web.
I forced synced for the past 8 hours, and turned the phone off twice since then.
I found that it is syncing but not removing the old events. I change the calendar name in the web and it also changes it on my phone. But it never removes all those thousands of events off my phone.
Another test revealed that if I add an event on my phone, it will sync to the web.
If I add an event it will sync to my phone.
If I delete an event on my phone, it will delete it off the web.
Here is the issue, if I delete an event off the web, it does not delete it off my phone.
How can I remove these thousands of entries on my phone now?
I cannot remove my Google account and re-sync because when I tried it said my only option is to factory reset which I prefer not to do.
Thanks.
Try to change your google account password on web. When your phone won't sync then remove that account and add a new account but you can still use the same account name. I hope I make sense.

I have problems with my calendar. In my google calendar I have more than one calendar on my own, and a couple of shared calendars - but on my galaxy I can only get it to sync ONE of my own calendars, and ONE of my shared calendars.
Does this happen to anyone else.
what are you trying to sync?
i can sync all my calendars and contacts via the Samsung Community Apps
I'm trying to sync to the stock calendar app.
go to settings > accounts and sync
make sure all your accounts listed have a green circle and edit each of them to make sure the sync options are Checked in green
some times they go grey, if they failed too many times
The problem is that they are not all listed.
Apparently other calendars that I can download also use the built-in sync, so my extra calendars are also missing there.
all my addons calendars like holidays and stuff shows up in the sync-ed calendar on the phone
all i do is select whatever i want from google account, then it syncs everything in it
Hello,
I am searching for a solution to a strange problem. Recently switched from a Samsung s5 (Marshmallow) to Moto G5+ (Nougat). For some reason, this OS does not recognize my Outlook account for Google Calendar to access. All it currently sees is my Gmail account. Even though I have added it, all the Accounts show in Setup are my FB, Twitter, Yahoo, and Google accounts. No Outlook. When I go to add it I get, "This email address is already connected with Outlook. Do you want to connect it again with another service?"
Outlook app works just fine in recognizing the account. Outlook Agenda widget works. But I prefer the look of Google Calendar widget. And I was able to get two Outlook accounts and a Gmail account to work on previous system's Google Calendar. Just can't get it to work on the new.
Did I run across a bug, or just user error? Any advise on getting this working again would be greatly appreciated.
