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).

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.

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.
Hi everybody,

Ans - Sync outlook calender & contacts with Google
Hi, you need GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe to sync outlook calender & contact with Google. There is a few option to select.
#1
2 ways - Syn both your Google calender events and Microsoft Outlook calender with each other.
#2
1 way Google Calender to Microsoft Calender - Syn only your Google calender events with Microsoft Outlook calender.
#3
1 way Microsoft Outlook Calender to Google Calender - Syn only your Microsoft Outlook events with Google calender.

From what I have read so far, there is no easy way. It seems this is not a priority for Google. The google software mentioned in another reply only syncs the calendar, not contacts.
A third party software called Companion Link seems to have gathered to most satisfied users. $40.
You can try this for free:
http: sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod
or
http: code.google.com/p/gcontactsynch
Once I get my Streak working, I'll the free ones a shot.
If not, I'll pay the 40. I'm spolied by MobileMe's ability to have you update calendar or contact and have it sync to Outlook automatically.
so i screwed up and got a windows 8 machine (sony tap20) anyhow its past end of life for google sync but i need to sync outlook calendar with my google calendar, prefer ota like it used to be
help!
Set up a new Mail account using the Windows 8 mail client and select Other, not Gmail. Use m.google.com for the server. After it connects and syncs, go into (charm bar) Settings for that account. You should see the options checked to sync mail, contacts, and calendar. One restriction is it will only sync you main calendar, it will not sync multiple calendars.
I have a Galaxy S3 and until now have been using Google calendars - 1 personal and 1 shared (with 1 other person) - and have now exported all my entries onto Outlook.
I've added my Active Sync account onto my phone and almost everything has synced correctly.
The only thing that hasn't is BOTH of my calenders. My main personal calender has synced but I can't find anyway of getting the shared calender on there.
The tasks are syncing correctly.
Could some one please advise what I'm doing wrong?
why not sync the device directly to google?
if you work on your pc only with OL - just sync your google acount and OL via google calendar sync in your PC.

I'm not looking to use the Google calenders anymore, the reason is because I've just upgraded to Windows 8 on my home PC and it will only sync the main calender from Google.
I now need to get my phone syncing with the OL calenders so that all 3 places (phone, PC and web) are all reading the same information.
you don't have to create\edit events on the "google.com/calendar" domain, just get your pc syncing with it.
i use win7 so i can't tell for sure if the google calendar sync work on win8, but you can try - i don't see a reason it wouldn't work.
from what i recall when i had my exchange client on my phone it would only sync the main calendar. so you solution should be on the google side.

The problem I'm having is that Windows 8 will ONLY sync the main Google calender. I would happily love to use the Google calendars, but I can only see one of them in Windows 8.
I can't believe how inflexible both systems are - only being able to view 1 calender from the other service.
sorry if i'm repeating myself but have you tried to install "google calendar sync" in your pc ?
Running an LG G4 on Android 5.1. You can sync your Outlook.com Email, Contacts, and Calendars by create a new Account in Settings with Type 'Exchange' it will usually auto-detect and do all the setup for you just by entering your Outlook.com login info (your Microsoft account.)
I've found something very strange though. If you go into the stock Calendar app, it does not list any calendars other than the primary account calendar for your Outlook.com account. However, if you use any other calendar app including the "Google Calendar" app, aCalendar, Pure Calendar widget, you name it, you these apps DO list all your calendars that you have on Outlook.com, HOWEVER, it appears Android's Exchange sync does not download events from any other calendar other the primary calendar associated with the Outlook.com account.
This makes no sense as why list the calendars if you aren't going to show the events?
Of course Microsoft recommends downloading the Microsoft Outlook app which does show events from all the calendars BUT, that app only provides the ability to sync your Outlook.com contacts with the phone, making them accessible to any apps that need to read your contacts. It does not (like the old Outlook.com app did) sync email or calendar events so you can see them in any other apps.
So what I'm curious about is the issue with the Exchange Account Sync in Android not syncing events from additional Outlook.com calendars a bug in the Operating System, or an intentional limitation or unintential bug in Outlook.com's Exchange Server emulation?
Because I need to see events from all my calendars elsewhere in my system such as on calendar widgets (Pure Calendar Widget) my workaround it to use the Gsyncit plugin for Microsoft Outlook Office Desktop client which does bidirectional syncing between Outlook.com and Gmail so it allows you to maintain contacts and email in both Outlook.com and Gmail accounts and of course all the calendars sync properly when using Gmail (Google) as the calendar source. The big drawback of this though is that if your PC isn't on, any updates to your Outlook calendar will not get synced to your Gmail calendar/contacts. Of course the better solution would be to make Gmail/Google your primary place for managing your contacts and calendars however I share a lot of my calendars and I've found your average user finds the Outlook.com interface more user-friendly (and cleaner) than the Gmail interface and more importantly the Outlook.com account will sync more seamlessly with Windows which is what the majority of people use for their desktop operating system.
I'd love to find out if Microsoft (Outlook.com) or Google (Android) is responsible for the lack of full Outlook.com to Android Calendar sync support and if it's intentional or a bug?
