when i create a calendar event on the phone, my time shows up as "free" in outlook. is there a way to change that to "busy" on the phone before it gets to outlook? never had this problem with my evo.

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.
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...
Good people, I've been on Android ever since the Hero came out and right now I'm waiting to get my new Legend in the mail.
BUT, I've never been sure what's the best way to organize and sync email, contacts and calendar appointments. Do you store all contacts ON the phone and backup thru HTC Sync and Outlook, do you ditch that and go full Google? Do you use IMAP with Hotmail? Exchange Server server with private mail?
First some info about me: I've had a private email service for some years now and a Hotmail account. I've wanted to keep these because of the hassle changing, but I finally caved in and started using the Gmail account I set up YEARS ago (so nobody would take it). I've stopped using Thunderbird as a email client, I've stopped using Lightning as a calendar tool and I've decided to use Hotmail just for junk (ie. Newsletters, registrations on various services I don't need to keep track of).
Now ALL my contacts are "Phone" contacts, not Google contacts. I sync my contacts with Outlook with HTC Sync, but I NEVER USE OUTLOOK. I sync Google Calendar with the Hero and I only use Gmail with the phone.
You getting me? All the options are, stressing me... I need a way to consolidate all my contacts across the board, all my tasks, events, notes...everything, the same everywhere.
1) Would you change all phone contacts to Google contacts?
2) Can you change all "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts?
3) Use both "HTC Mail" app with IMAP or just use "Gmail" App
- right now I get two notifications, both from the HTC app and the Gmail app.
Edit: I really with HTC could supply a tool, like HTC Sync, that would allow full control of the phone on you laptop, full sync capabilleties and the option to store it locally in HTC Sync (NOT Outlook) and in the Cloud as a backup.
ermmm personally i would sync all my contacts with gmail...at first its a bit messy cos u start getting gmail emails contacts in it but u learn to embrace it...specially if ur email list isnt way too big...syncing ur contacts with google is good specially if u have ORD(obsessive rom disorder) cos it saves u time backing up stuff...and it syncs via cloud so why bother plugging it in to sync
ermmm in terms of gmail i removed it from my htc app and just use the gmail app...the htc mail app is useful if u have any other accounts like hotmail or exchange or secondary emails...if u still want gmail on a pretty looking htc mail app u can just go to the gmail app and turn off notifications(that way u wont have 2 notifications for a single email)...
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
