[Q] android calendar syncing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an odd problem.
I've got an exchange server, I can sync the phone from the exchange server, if I add an event on the calendar from outlook or OWA on a pc, it shows on the phone perfectly. I can delete it from the phone, and it removes it from the exchange server. if I add an event on the phone, it doesn't show up on the exchange server.
I've verified that it's set to sync the correct account (it's the only account I have in the calendar), if I create an event on the phone, and I check the event, it shows that the event is on the exchange server, but it never shows up on outlook or OWA.
I'm not a noob, I'm familiar with running an exchange server, but ANY help would be appreciated.
thanks

You may just backup it via Super Backup from Play Store

[Q] Sync Outlook Contact and Calendar with Google

Dear all members,
Just to check whether how we can sync my outlook contacts and calendars with my Google account.
I have tried Google App Sync but I have encounter an error which need the Google app sync to be enabled in the email account..
Anyone know what I should do or any easy software to sync the contacts and calendars between Google and Outlook?
i think this was only turned on from 2.1 up then it was enhanced in 2.2
If you are planning on doing this only once a workaround is to export your Outlook contacts to a comma separated .csv file and upload this file to Google contacts. Works very nice, but I understand you might need to do it a smoother way if you need to sync Outlook and Google often.

Hi,
Yes, I will prefer that there will be a software which will continously sync the contacts in my Outlook with Google and that is why Google App Sync caught my mind.
But I know that I can only use it if my Google account is the premier and not the normal type.
Anyone know whether there is other software which can do the task?

Try turning Outlook off then on again?
I have noticed when ever I start Outlook now I get a popup asking about which "profile" (i think is the word used) to enable; google sync or outlook?
Syncing between X10i and Outlook (business phone is foked without this ability imo) is the main reason I am travelling along the rooting road at the moment... not started the search for the software yet.
Have installed google sync but not used yet as I am uncomfortable storing 20+ years worth of valuable networking details in that giants hands
Good luck

Thanks. I managed to find 3rd party software called Companion link but required to purchase in order to use. If the software is good, I dun mind paying for it.
Guys,
I have managed to try out the CompanionLink software whereby you can synchronize the outlook contacts and calendars with your Google account, it work perfectly so with this software, there is no hassle either you do update on your phone or PC using Outlook.
check it out if you are interested :
http://www.companionlink.com/
However, you can try it for 15 days and if you like it, you will have to purchase the license which I will be intending to purchase this software.

Guys, I just turned on my X10 first time.
When I go to Calendar app it asks me to login to Google account.
That may be strange question for users here, but - do I HAVE to login to Google
to use Calendar on X10?!
i'm using MyPhoneEx and it works well and it is free
I also use MyPhoneExplorer

?! I was asking about Calendar application...
Yeap. I use MyPhoneEx to sync outlook contact/Calendar directly into my X10. If I want to sync contact/calendar with Google, I just goto Setting ->Accounts & Sync and press sync contacts (or Calendar).
That's why your X10 asked you to log-in to google when you turned it on. If you've not log-in to Google, the calendar in X10 is still working fine but you cannot sync it with google contact (or calendar).

Didn't see this thread when i searched for similar discussions, i opened up another one explaining my problem. Are you experiencing the same issue ? What is your firmware, jokertt ? Seeing we both live in Romania maybe there's a problem with the firmware we are using, even though it worked fine for me until the last few days and i didn't install any app that could mess my internet or mail apps. Also problem appears both on wi-fi or phone data.

Could the problem be with syncing your gmail account, as the gmail app is already pushing this account?
I have gmail app syncing my gmail account, enhanced email (but the stock email app does work, but only goes back a month) for 2 yahoo IMAP accounts. The only thing I have on the Social Hub app is a Twitter account (because the actual Twitter app caused connection problems).

If you're using Google calendar on your PC anyway, set your phone to use the same Google account and go to Settings --> Accounts and sync --> (tap account) --> Sync Calendar (check).
If that's out of the question, the first result of searching returned ICSSync.
I am a student and there its a server where my time table is saved and actualized from time to time. And I want it to sync with my calendar on my phone. Is this possible to set in sync and account?

Not without putting it into a Google calendar on a computer first. The link I gave you already sounds like what you're looking for if you need to achieve this without a computer.
If you do want to bring a computer into it, you can probably manually Import events from iCalendar or CSV files or Subscribe to calendars in Google Calendar, which sounds like it would automatically update/fetch changes.

[Q] Hotmail - Non deletion of email on Server

Hi all,
I have set up my hotmail account on my Samsung S3 however, when I delete an email on my phone I do not want it deleted from the Hotmail server. Is there an option to do this or is it just tough
Thanks
No takers?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
You set it on the Hotmail account itself. Log in from a desktop computer and go into POP3 settings - you should be able to find a setting in there that allows you to decide whether to delete emails from the server when they're deleted from the device.
Mmmm thanks for the reply but I have tried that. Seems once you delete them from the S3 they are deleted from Hotmail also. On most other devices there is an option to stop deletion from the server.
Any other help?
Depends what sort of account you've set up on the phone. If it's POP3, the method I've described above will work - however if you're using Exchange / Activesync, since that sort of account is direct sync, there is no option to leave mail on the server when you delete from the device as far as I know.
That's the one. Thanks chap. Now I've done it I am not sure I prefer the POP3 setup BUT at least I have the option.

Exchange & Gmail on LP

Has anyone managed to configure an exchange account with Gmail on the 690 LP ROM.
From a fresh install there isn't the option for adding the account.
I have tried removing the system gmail app and exchange2 apk and reinstalling the latest exchange services and the Gmail app from the Play Store.
The account configures fine after this, but only syncs the folders and not the emails. Then it force closes exchange services.
Has anyone got it working properly?
Thanks...
I'm using stock gmail app and email app and they work perfectly.

Hi,
My gmail accounts work great. Its just exchange emails that are the issue. Once exchange services is installed you get a third option!
The folders sync but the no emails arrive!

Are you adding a new Android user profile or just an email account from your existing profile?
Email account to existing account. Looking on Google doesn't bring much joy about Exchange services working on 5.0.2!
