Appointment created on Android phone will sync to Google Calendar, but not from GCal to Outlook.
Only difference between the appointment created in GCalendar directly and in Phone is the fact that Phone created appointment show myself as a guest in Google Calendar. When I remove myself as a guest, appointment will sync to outlook.
Calendars in Outlook, Google Calendar and Android phone are named as "myname"@gmail.com.
Appointments created in Outlook will sync to the phone just fine.
In the phone I have enabled only one calendar "[email protected]"
phone is HTC Hero, running NeORoM v2.1 (same problem I had with Villain 5.0)
edit: same with Villain 6.1
Sync for Outlook is Google Calendar Sync 0.9.3.5.
Sync method "two way"
any ideas whats wrong?
Doesnt anyone have this problem with 2.x roms???
you can see it from that thread:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5484
that lot of people have the same issue with the sync.
... this is the only obstacle that keeps me off the 2.x ROM...
solution is hugely appreciated...

I have all my appointments on Outlook. Outlook syncs with my Google Calendar, which has the families appointments on too.
My new HTC Hero syncs with Outlook... it would seem it also Sync's with Google Calendar.
Now I have all my appointments in the Calendar twice! Is there a simple way not to show the Outlook ones? Should I just remove it from the Sync list in HTC Sync?
yes to the last bit.
I don't know of any way to clear it, but if everything is in google, reset it and sign in and away you go. everything comes back from teh servers.
Okay, thanks. Although, when I connect my Hero now, it doesn't show connected with HTC Sync... (I'm using W7)
Also, I've been to my Google Calendar online, lots of things were duplicated, so I've deleted them away. Google Cal Sync has removed these from Outlook, now I have some in Google Calendar and some in Outlook calendar but not all of them in both, even when I run Google Cal Sync...?
**pressed once, it posted twice?**
Hi,
Since installing windows 7, I'm only getting a one way sync (PC to Phone) on my Outlook calendar. I use Outlook 2007 and this was working fine from Vista but now appointment entered on my phone don't copy across. Any ideas? Am I missing something really simple?

I am having the exact same problem.
Reading up on it, I found the solution. When creating a calendar event, you must select (the tab before you name your even) Outlook. This way, the events can be transferred to MS Outlook. For some odd reason, when I selected my gmail account, I get a contact error. I guess you can't have both?
There are separate calendars on your Hero. The Google one syncs with the Google calendar you have with your google account. The Outlook one syncs with Outlook. It means you can, for example use the Google one for your personal appointments and Outlook for work. You can set the calendar to show either or both at the same time.

phone is HTC Hero, tried different 2.0 ROMs (NeoRoM v2.1, Villain 5.0, Villain 6.1, Sense Hero 2.1)

there is those threads on other forums:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...nc&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

this is what I discovered so far:
when looking into my phone calendar appointments, in 1.6 roms , the creator of the appointment will be marked as "[email protected]"
in 2.0 roms, the appointment in my phone show creator of the appointment " Firstname Lastname". so it will take this information probably form Gmail Account or Phone other settings, as calendar settings in Gmail will not show my First name and Last name in capital letters. 1.6 uses mail address as identifiyng "owner" of the appointment.
so seems this is communication issue between 2.0 and Calendar app.
Does anybody have any ideas how to try to track this problem any further?
as you see from other threads this in not only my issue with 2.0 roms, so it cant be phone related ....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well... today I had little bit of testing and now turnes out that my opinion regarding this but wasnt 100% accurate.
when creating appointment in the phone with 2.x ROM, the phone register owner of the appointment with normal way. That means "[email protected]".
when information is sent to Gmail account in the Google Server, the server will receive infromation with appointment owner registered "My Google Account First and Last name".
When I look this appointment in my phone - everything is ok, even after new sync.
When I look this appointment in the server - owner name has changed.
When I reset my phone, and reinstall old rom (1.x) and resync calendar with Google, I will get this appointment synced to the phone with changed owner (my google account firstname and last name)
So after reinstall and after resync, appointments created previously with old 1.x are ok with my gmail address marked as owner.
appointmens created with 2.x, having owner marked my First name and Last name that I registered for Gmail.
is there any way to catch information that phone will send to the Google server to try to find a difference in the information?
Just tried new Taiwan based official rom.
Still the same problem .
No one here is having a problem like this?
im also having this problem...im on the nexus one
pretty damn annoying!
I have Google Calendar Sync to sync my outlook calendar with my work google calendar. I shared my work google calendar with my personal google calendar. This way I can setup my appointments in Outlook and see them on my android phone. This was working before!
The scheme is this: outlook calendar -> work google account -> personal google account -> android phone. Now I can see the events in my personal google account but this events does not sync with android phone. If I resave the event on web google calendar then it is synced with android phone. If I create event in my work google account it syncs again.
But If I use outlook to create event it does not sync. Very strange problem!
If someone have a solution I will be appreciated.
I now use CM7, before with Stock Legend Rom it was synced succesfully
Since Microsoft directs both Microsoft Office and Windows Live Calendar, a Windows Live ID could fluently unify both services and have them sync under the same banner.
With that said, Android's support of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync also works for calendars. Connect that service to your phone and it should work great (and my experience, works better).
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I'm also using Google Calendar Sync (0.9.4.1) and it works. I put a meeting in Outlook and in short time appears on the phone...also when creating the event from phone, it appears in Outlook.
Make sure you have the sync "2 ways" selected in Google Calendar Sync options.
This problem has been bothering me for a long time now.
I have an Exchange account with my school that I sync my email and contacts to my android phone with no problems. However, the school made a shared calendar for our class schedules that I added to my Exchange account (by adding the URL), but this calendar will not sync to my phone. If I create my own events in my personal calendar, that works fine and shows up, but the calendar that I added from the school will not. It shows up just fine on Outlook on the PC.
My current solution is to just add that calendar to my google account and sync it, but the problem with that is that our class schedules can sometimes change suddenly and gmail doesn't sync very often, which has led to some problems for me in the past. I would much rather have the direct syncing of the calendar to my phone instead of through google.
What makes it more aggravating is that my friend has no problem syncing the calendar with iOS, so I know it should be possible. I've tried using Touchdown but that has the same problem.
Here is an image from the Outlook Web app showing both calendars
Thanks in advance for your help
My phone: MyTouch 4G running ICS. I had this problem even on other GB roms.
Question
Sorry i can't help you but i have question . I saw you wrote your friend has no problem sync shared calendar on iOS. Can you tell me how he did that and do i need some kind of app. I'm trying to sync my shared calendar (Outlook 2010) to my friends iPhone, but iPhone only syncs his calendar when i create exchange activesync account on his iPhone. Thank you
