Hi,
I didn't do any changes to my phone and all of the sudden the calendar stopped syncing. I have to sync it manually all the time and it sucks because I manage my agenda on my computer and I don't see the changes on the phone.

Hello all, I would really appreciate some guidance on how to properly setup my syncing.
Today I sync my Hero (3G stock) with Outlook 2007 on my Win XP home computer with HTC sync, and also with my Exchange account at work (HTC sync -> Outlook on Mac via VMware). And of course the phone in its turn synchronizes with the Google cloud. And as an extra bonus I'm running Google Calendar Sync at the home computer. This goes for calendar and contacts, the mails I don't sync at all.
This results in having:
1. Multiple entries of every item, i.e on the phone I have one contact entry called "phone" and one duplicate called "Google" for every contact I have. Same for the calendar.
2. By syncing with 2 different computers I always gets some conflicts when doing the synchronization and I usually have to run every sync 2-3 times before it's complete.
Sorry for being unclear, would like to sort this out. How have you set it up? I thought about skipping the HTC sync at work and running only Google Calendar Sync, but it turns out my company's firewall is blocking this.
Well, no response here, but for further reference I can write down that I have solved it so far by deleting all "Phone" items on the Hero and to sync the calendar with Google Calendar Sync, and for the contacts I use a service called Soocial (www.soocial.com) which seems pretty nice.
Hi, all.
The manual for Vibrant, beginning on Page 120, talks about using Samsung Kies to sync files between the PC and Vibrant. I downloaded Kies version 1.5.1.10071_32 through samsungapps.com. Installed no problem on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS. I've got 32-bit Outlook 2010 installed.
I enabled the USB connection through Kies on my phone. Drivers installed no problem when the phone was connected through USB.
First time using Kies, contacts sync'd up just fine. Calendar, not so much. Nothing sync'd.
Subsequent attempts to connect the phone sometimes hangs Kies. When the connection is successful, and I attempt to sync, my entire calendar will be imported into Kies, but only a few of the appointments get into the phone. Sometimes no appointments get into the phone. There's no rhyme or reason to what makes it, what doesn't, and it varies from attempt to attempt.
I live and die by Outlook, and trying to make the move to Gmail won't work for me.
Let me add something here. I don't like clouds. Clouds conjure up visions of rain, darkness, thunder and lightning, wind, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Scary stuff. That's why I'm not too big on using Gmail to sync the phone. It also doesn't work real well when the rest of the business world relies on Outlook. For the time being, I've exported my contacts and calendar to CSV DOS files, then uploaded them to Gmail. This is what I have to do everytime I want to update my phone, and it's a pain in the butt.
Even though my US Vibrant manual says to use Kies to sync the phone, the Samsung Apps website makes no indication of any support for US phones, and says my country is not supported by the site. Of the phones listed for other countries (including Canada and the United Kingdom), the Galaxy S is not listed.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any third party apps that work well?
Thanks in advance for all comments and suggestions.
I am assuming you're using Outlook without an Exchange server? This phone syncs just fine if you have an Exchange server.

Right. No Exchange server.
One other thing.
The initial contacts sync works great, subsequent contacts sync hangs at 35%, forced close, then a re-sync destroys the contact list.
I have the same problem. Coming from an Iphone this is the only downside I found with Android.
My Iphone was able to sync outlook (contacts, calendar and notes) + my internet favorites.
Now I use
- KIES for sync my contacts
- google sync to sync my calendar
I didn't found a way to sync my notes or my IE favorites
Still searching
Otherwise there is some third party soft like CompanionLink but they cost $$
Another option for you if you use GMail as your mail provider (via Outlook) is to use Google Calendar Sync. It will sync your Outlook Calendar with your GMail Calendar, which would then automatically Sync with your Android device. That's how I've been doing it since I've had my G1 and it's worked great...no need to plug in and sync anything.

Google Calendar Sync does not yet work with Outlook 2010.

I've been doing the same thing for over a year via OutLook. I just set it up at work as a Scheduled Task and it runs 30minutes before I go home. Keeps the IT guys off my back if they happen to look at my Task Bar and see thing odd running.
TouchDown
I am testing out a trial version of Exchange TouchDown by NitroDesk.
I am not able to post the link but you can google it.
It syncs email, contact, calendar and tasks via USB for stand alone Outlook as well as OTA sync to your Exchange mailbox. Give it a try and let us know how it worked out for you.
I have a different issue... Outlook 2003. I start out with all contacts LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. I sync and all of my contacts last and first names are now transposed in my PC. Now they show FIRST NAME, LAST NAME. It isn't just a function of 'sorting' for when I click on a contact on my PC, the contact's first and last names have actually swapped.
Anybody else experiencing this or have any suggestions? I really like this phone but the absolute lack of being able to update contacts via USB sync (do not like the cloud idea AT all either) is making me think about returning it. Thanks!
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.
I have my Google Calendar set to sync.. and I have my Calendar online show friends bdays and they all show up just fine on the website. But it doesn't seem like they sync to the phone. Any ideas why?

I had problem with google calendar updating. In the calendar I would hit refresh with no effect. If you go to the main menu, settings, sync, and hit the gmail sync, I think it syncs correctly then. Since I manually sync all my apps for battery reasons I just put the "sync all" widget on my homescreen and press it when I want everything to update. Hope that makes some kind of sense and helps.

I've tried to do a manual sync as well. The 'Us Holidays' calendar shows up on my phone. But not the Birthdays. I put the birthdays in my Gmail contacts.. They sync to the calendar online without a problem. For some reason they just don't go to my phone
I had this problem with a friend's shared calendar and was able to fix it.
Verify under Google Calendar you are actively viewing that calendar
Under Accounts and disable the calendar sync for your google account
Under Applications, clear data for "Calendar Storage" note this is different from "Calendar"
Re-enable the calendar sync to resync
That should work. If not, try reversing the order. I did it myself, and a friend of mine fixed his phone after i gave him similar directions.

Worked perfect. Can't believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks.
Actually. It worked for some people but not all. So weird.
Hi,
Since I've upgraded to Gingerbread my calendar seems to be synching only one way:
- When I create an event online on google's calendar using my laptop they do show up on the cellphone.
- When I create an event on the cellphone it doesn't show up on google's calendar on my laptop.
Any thoughts?
Have you checked the settings in Calendar->Settings->Manage Calendars?

+1. Also make sure sync for the entire phone is enabled. It was disabled once when I rebooted my phone, no idea why. I just added an event from my phone and it showed up on the computer instantly. Are you adding events to your calendar or a shared calendar?
It's strange. When I go to Calendar->Settings->Manage Calendars I get
- Phone Calendar
not synced, visible . There is an eye icon that is on but the sync icon is off. It allows me to set the visibility to on or off but not the sync.
- Gmail calendar
synced, visible . There is an eye icon that is on and the sync icon is on too. It allows me to select the if the sync and visibility should be on or off.
I had this syncing problem as was described in this thread. The solution turned out to be to click that button and make the "Phone Calendar" NOT visible and NOT synced. Then the only calendar left was my real google calendar and now all the events I create on my phone are instantly synced correctly up and down to my google calendar web page on my desktop pc.
Hope this helps you out.

was there any other possible solution or method anyone can think of in this situation, ive moved from stock GB to Miui Alpha 3 to a more stock ICS themed ROM to Miui Alpha 4 and somewhere in that last jump i lost calendar sync. Noone else seems to have this issue on the Miui thread and there is no option to select a 'phone' calendar or a 'google' calendar in Miui, its just the 'google' one. Thanks in advance
