I installed JellyBean and now do not have calendar that integrates with Exchange server. Least to say, I must have it. Matter of fact, I do not see any calendar. But I must have one that integrates with MS Exchange server, like I had in the original stock ROM, and automatically updates from corporate email.
Suggestions?
Download google calendar from the play store....
Got it. Integrated seamlessly.
Thank you.

Are there any Touchdown users out there on the 10.1? I find this app way better than the pre-installed mailclient. Especially since the pre-installed client has major sync issues for me.
But, I wonder if anyone has managed to sync the calendar from touchdown to the stock calendar? I would like that, so I have both gmail and exchange calendar in the same view.
If anyone knows if this is possible, thanks!
You can install Google calendar sync on a pc with outlook on it and it will sync your outlook calendar to Google.
Thanks and a good idea, but I really like to keep google (private) and exchange(work) separate, but would like to be able to view them both in the default calendar on the GT. Is it not possible?
Touchdown is working well for me including the calendar. The license is only supposed to be good for one install but I was able to register my phone and my tablet.

Are you having calendar synced with the builtin calendar as well? I know it works well with the touchdown calendar but I want to use the builtin version..

Unfortunately you cant do that. My solution was to use the Pure Calendar widget and tell it to show both my Touchdown and Google calendars in the same view.
Touchdown world great but honestly for same money Moxier works and looks 100-times better. You can also use the same purchase/license on your phone. Your email, calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts are all synchronized over the air via exchange active sync. The contacts will show up in your phones contacts, but can only be edited in the Moxier client itself. So on your phone caller ID and dialer will recognize your coworkers that call, text, or email you outside Moxier.
It's got a trial version you can try. I already had a Touchdown client paid for and bought this after I tried it on my Nook Color. Its awesome. Moxier just trumps it.

Your calendar will be separate on Moxier but it has a nice set of Widgets that can be use along side the stock Widgets on a singlebhome screen. I sort of like having them separate. I always end up creating personal events in my work calendar and vice versa when they are together.... which is counter productive at times.

I'm very pleased with the touchdown tablet edition. I've been using td on my phone, but I'm in Cancun this week, and telmex networking doesn't seem that stable, so I've been using the tablet version on my SGT. It took me a while to get used to the new navigation style, but I'm liking it.

Exactly what I needed, will check it out! Thanks
Please can anyone help, I have just changed from a HTC Desire to a Galaxy S2. I use Exchange server email, syncing Email,Contacts and calendar. Yesterday I put a new appiontment in the calendar and it never appeared on my PC Outlook account. After having a good look I noticed that in the calendar it has a G (for Google) next to the entry.
Please can anyone let me know how to stop anything to do with Contacts,Email and calendar going to Google.
I know I have to have a Google account for the Market, but that is the only reason I wish to use it, and even then I have google mail redirected automaticaly to my Outlook account.
Thanks
Sam
In fact things are worse than I thought, I turn off the Google Calendar and enter an appiontment it does not appear! However if I turn on the Google calendar it does!!!!
Please please let me know how to have only Exchnage as my primary source of Calendar!
When you create a task or an appointment on the phone, it should ask you where you want to create it - be sure to select your Exchange account.
Personally, in a similar position to you, I chose to pay for Touchdown for Exchange. There is a free trial so you'll get the chance to test it thoroughly. You have to keep some elements syncing with the default client in the background - contacts, if memory serves - but you can set Touchdown to be the default for calendar, email, tasks, etc, so it is a pretty seamless experience. I'd recommend it.
Thanks Gustopher, prblem sorted and will try Touchdown

Does anyone know way to sync multiple calendars on one MS Exchange account?
I have couple of calendars (personal and for work) on my Exchange account. After I add the exchange account from settings it only shows the "main" calendar on my account. I'm using the Samsung EMAIL app that came with the phone.
Tried searching google but no avail. So I wonder if this is possible with the default app or some other app?
i would like to know the answer as well, i am looking for the same solution. any help would be appreciated
+1. I think I could probably sync my hotmail calendar with my Gmail calendar as a workaround to get my secondary calendar to my phone, but on all my Moto droids, I always had the option to sync all of my corporate & hotmail activesync calendars - not just the primary calendar. On the GS3, I only have an option to sync the primary calendar.
+1. Just can't believe how bad the Exchange (or ActiveSync) sync support is, even with 4.1 (JellyBean).
One idea: with OWA, you can "publish" each of your calendars with an URL ending in .ics. However, I have not found an app yet that successfully subscribes to that ical-Files. With other systems, it is easily possible to use those .ics URLs...
the RAZR supposedly has a better Exchange support. Can someone port that?
one workaround for the multiple calendar sync from Exchange:
1. in Outlook Web Access (OWA) goto Calendars. Share your desired Calendar(s) to the Internet (but not publically)
2. Install the app ICSSYNC
3. feed the URL(s) from the shared-OWA-calendar to ICSSYNC.
Done. Nuff said.

This is only an option if your Exchange Admin will allow calendars to be shared. Is there another option? What amazes me is that iOS handled this without any issues for the past few years, but somehow, this has not made it in to Android yet? It makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I've got two Exchange accounts set up and working on my SGS3. Everything syncs as it should, though I had to add them twice to get them working.
JB isn't impressing me much so far - slow, buggy, drains the battery, has wifi issues, crashes without any apparent reason every now and then... but Exchange sync works (for now, at least).
Unfortunately, this is not implemented in Android: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=52270. Vote for the issue!
Another option is to load the app Touchdown by Nitrodesk. I am syncing multiple outlook calendars using it.

There is another workaround which I have not tested yet.
It is from the code.google.com bugtracker above:
----------------
Use outlook.com app.
The Outlook.com app does sync the calendars but it does nothing for tasks. I have tasks assigned to two calendars in the same account. Calendars sync but tasks do not. In fact no tasks are synced with this method. It must be just pure calendar functionality.
------------------
Give it a try guys. I am pretty sure Android 4.3 won't be better in terms of Exchange calendar and tasks support!
To sync all of the calendars in your Exchange-type account, you have to use CALDAV (what iPhone uses as a successful workaround to Microsoft's bloaty-buggy ActiveSync which is what Android uses)
CalDAV-Sync Beta is one such CALDAV enabler. It will sync all of your calendars to the default calendar app. There are other CALDAV apps, but I have not used them.
You will almost certainly have to ask your IT rep what the correct URL is for your CALDAV access.
You'll have to add shared calendars using yet another URL, which will be unique to your installation. Ask your IT rep what the URL is.
This way, you can avoid paying Microsoft for an ActiveSync license. That's $3 / seat this year. In other words, Apple provides a better sync experience by going the cheap route (and avoiding Microsoft's trash).
For Kerio email servers, the shared calendar URL is https://domainname.com/caldav/users/domainname.com/user-name/
for resource calendars it's:
https://domainname.com/caldav/users/domainname.com/resourcename
and for all of YOUR calendars:
https://domainname.com/caldav
Those are kinda standard URLs...
You can find domainname.com by looking up your MX records in DNS.
To set up an Android device the same way that iOS devices do "Sync":
1. Set up email using IMAP (not "Exchange")
2. Set up calendar sync using CALDAV
3. Set up Contact sync using CARDDAV
I'm kind of surprised that no one has created an account settings app that sets those up for you... It is certainly possible to do this in software.
What you gain by going w/ the Apple method: multiple calendar sync + multiple contact folder sync.
What you lose: Tasks, Notes, and Categories.
Things might have changed with android 4.4: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/android-4-4-now-can-sync-multiple-calendars-via-activesync/
Does rooting give me any access to be able to sync multiple calendars?
multiple Exchange calendars under 4.4?
How is it with multiple Exchange calendars under 4.4?
I tried to use them on my Note2 with 4.4, but it looks like it does not work.
Even with Android 6.0, there doesn't seem to be multiple calendar support using Outlook.com/EAS. Meanwhile, iOS and, of course, Windows Phone handle them just fine without using third-party apps.
My Note 3 with cyanogenmod 12.1 / android 6.01 does sync all my exchange calendars. I used open gapps, and that came with Google Exchange Services 6.4.123892212.
I also have a brand new Huawei 7 Lite with Android 6.0. I installed Google Calendar on this one, and only the main calendar is synced. I installed the same Google Exchange Services version via APK, to no avail. Only the main calendar is visible.
What other components are there that are involved?
Sorry for the necroupping
I am caught between Exchange and the Android ecosystem. Work uses Exchange and Iphones, I sneak in Android stuff where I can (Desire HD, Nexus 7 and other stuff). All my private life is in google calendar. All my work is in Exchange calendars, which is shared and coordinated with lots of ppl.
Is it possible to make an app (if it doesn't exist) that SYNCS DIRECTLY between Exchange and Google?
What I have found so far:
- If you can install software on the PC where you have Outlook installed, you can use Google Sync. I can't do that
- I could possibly install Outlook on another PC and install google sync, and then have that PC running just for that. But comeon?
- If I use Exchange on the devices, I can see combined calendars, but it is basically just pooling two sources and not sync
- I can add online calendars to Outlook from google, but these can't be seen by others? Or what? Not AFAIK.
- I have tried a few apps for the phone, but none does the job.
- I could accept running two calendars all the time, but that is SO messy. Been trying that for a year now and it stinks.
I really hate this situation. Any ideas? I hope I found the right section.
What I basically need is Google sync for android, instead of merely PC.
I think the solution is in #2. If you don't do it yourself, there might be an online service which would do it, and probably for a fee.
I'm not aware of any application which would solve your problem.
I've ended up keeping all my personal stuff in Google and all my work stuff in Exchange. I have none of my personal stuff on my work PC.
On my phone I use email with my Exchange account and Gmail with my Google account.
I sync calendar, email, and contacts for both account. Calendar shows both accounts and People shows all my contacts.
I have no duplicates (no work contacts in Google or personal contacts in Exchange).
This way I have a unified calendar and contacts yet clean separation of work and personal.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It seems there is no solution.

Bill,
As I write initially, that is what I already do.
I am not happy with this setup. I work long hours and travel a lot - and my colleauges benefit from seeing my private bookings, when trying to book all day events, meetings that require lots of travel, evening meetings etc. Everyone here has everything in Exchange and I am the only one who doesn't offer this solution. Well I guess the answer is "meh"

It sounds as though you would be better off only using Exchange for appointments and forget about Google Calendar.

I configured a new account to sync my work email and calendar. This results in me being able to use the stock email app, as email syncs fine, but only some calendar entries are synced. I've tried clearing the cache/data, deleting and setting up the account again, to no avail.
If I use a mail client like Touchdown or Nine, that apparently have their own EAS sync engines, then the calendar does sync fully.
What I'm looking for is an app that just provides the EAS service, that would allow me to use the stock email and calendar apps, but I can only find those mentioned above that also have email clients (and calendar for Touchdown) integrated with them.
I'm on a rooted Nexus 4.4.2
