now that microsoft is discontinuing the outlook.com app in favor of the outlook app, is there any way to sync a microsoft calendar with S-planner?
I tried their new app, but it no longer uses android's calendar storage.
this means I can no longer use S-planner, event flow widget, or pebble calendar.
for now I've reverted to the old outlook.com app, but microsoft says it will stop working at the end of next month.

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.
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)
So I've just flashed a Gingerbread ROM after coming from mcr r9 for a few months. Prior to that I was on stock Sense 2.1 (I'm sure some may remember that! )
With 2.1 the calendar app, you had the option to have a good few calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
a "my calendar" or similar calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
and iirc UK holidays
and maybe the Facebook calendar
With 2.2 going into the Calendar app and pressing [Menu]>More...>Calendars>[Menu] they removed the "my calendar"/"personal calendar" but you still have these calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
UK holidays
Facebook calendar
Now in Oxygen rc7/test build @6 Feb 11 you obviously get the new 2.3.2 calendar.
It looks like I only have
your google/gmail account calendar
UK holidays
So my questions are:
Is that correct or is the calendar still a WiP?
Is this something google are slowly changing over the android revisions i.e. Is this a feature of gingerbread or the 2.3.2 calendar? - So that people are forced to use google calendar as their sole calendar...
I need to use Outlook calendar on my pc and sync both a WM phone and this android phone from that - I don't want to sync my calendar with/migrate to google calendar thanksbutnothanks.
Do I have any options/workarounds other than to go back to froyo?
Thanks for reading this far and for any insight/help you may give.
I have had succes syncing my Outlook with something called Myphoneexplorer (for PC there is an android client app for this program.)
But I have found syncing the contacts can be a bit of a pain because of the multiple contact sources (facebook LinkedIn and Google) and it take some work to actually link the contacts on the phone to remove and combine the dupes.
I haven't had time to play with it very much but it did sync my contacts and calendar.
Still a robust and cloud consolidating option would be a god send.
Not sure if that would require better cloud support in Outlook but it seems logical.
Phone: T-Mobile (US) LG G6
OS: Android 7.0, build ID NRD90U
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/
I have a Mate 9 Pro.
I have my work calendar (Exchange) account setup as well as two different Google Account calendars.
I use Business Calendar to show only my exchange calendar entries. That works.
However, I can't find another (good) calendar app that will let me show only my Google Calendars, as I want them split between work and private.
I can deselect the Exchange calendar and it's removed, but the next time I open the app, the Exchange calendar is selected and shown again.
Can anyone guide me to another app or way where I can choose to see only my Google calendars and my Exchange calendar not keeps coming back into the app?
I'm running Mate 9 Pro Android 9.1 stock.
