[Q] Sync Phone Calendar with PC Calendar - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello People,
I seem to be having problems with my HTC Desire Calendar.
I am using Desire fireware 2.1 & HTC Sync 2.0.33.
Everytime I add an event in my calendar on phone, it appears "BLUE" in the calendar (For some reason I have 3 calendars in my phone, 2x blue, "MY CALENDAR, & SIZZ calendar, 1x GREEN=PC Sync)
When I sync, it doesnt seem to update on my outlook.
If i add an event on my outlook and sync, it sync beautifully (both PC and phone)
But when I add an event on phone, and sync on PC, nothing gets synced in the calendar. Contacts get updated, but nothing else???
Anybody help?

when you create it on the phone you need to select the PC Sync account, that should be green on your phone = it will then sync.
If you select 'My Calendar' it goes to Google Calendar, not your PC

Cheers dave! Sorted!
Thanks

HTC Sync Not Transferring Contacts

I have the HTC EVO and I have tried to use the Sync software that came on the phone and then I updated to the latest version which fixed the problems of freezing and not reading the phone but I still cannot get my calender or contacts to sync. I get the Sync successful message but it shows zero contacts or calender dates for the phone and the computer. Any ideas?
bump please
not sure about the calendar, but for the contacts, try this:
go to "people"
Then click on Menu, and make sure google is checked.
I have everything sync'd through google it is already checked by default. The problem I am having is syncing my contacts and calender using HTC Sync onto my PC running Win7 64-bit and Microsoft Outlook 2007.

[Q] Exchange and PC Sync Calendar issues

I am still having trouble with my calendar. I can now make a calendar event and see it on my phone, it says PC Sync, there is no other option. It does not, however, sync with my Outlook (exchange server). I can see my outlook calendar oh the phone and if I make an event from my computer it appears on the phone. If I open an event from my outlook calendar on the phone it calls it Exchange. When I open "Menu/More/Calendars/ there is no Exchange choice, there is a PC Sync choice, which is checked.
Before the last update if I made an entry on my phone it appeared on Outlook.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

[Q] How to sync with Outlook

Have installed Defrost (open desire ROM)
I want to sync my phone with my PC (Outlook, contacts, calendar)
I know that I can not use HTC sync with this ROM which I really really like (the ROM)
Does any body know a solution????
Most important is that I can sync calendar!
Thanks in advance
I installed Google Calendar Sync on my PC.
It hooks into Outlook and synchronizes your outlook calendar with your Google account calendar. The sync can be 1 way (from either PC or phone) or 2 way.
All you need is your phone to have an 3G or WIFI connection to update.
Only downside to this is that it does not do contacts and email

[Q] How do you remove the "PC Sync" Calendar?

Does anyone know how to remove the "PC Sync" calendar from an Android phone (HTC Desire) created when you use the HTC Sync software?
I've disabled it so the entries don't show in my calendar but I think that other apps (Calendar Snooze in particular) is still picking it up.
Thanks in advance.
I'd be interested in this as well.

I've a very similar problem!
I'd like to set my calendar entries (and contacts) to default to the google calendar and to stop asking me which one I want to use!
There is no direct way to avoid P Sync.
You can do it indirectly as below
1. Open you outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2. Delete all the entries in active calendar of outlook.
3. Start sync now.
4. Now the entries in you mobile are completely removed.
5. Change the sync option in HTC Sync app for Calendar as NO.
6. Sync again. Verify that you mobile doesnot contain any outlook entries.
It done now.
You can restore outlook from the backup and continue....
thats bad answer as we cannot remove calneder enteries from computer just to keep them on mobile phone, need some good answer for removing pc sync option to keep google calender sync on desire hd
it's not a bad answer...think again
1. Open your outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2 to 6 as above
STEP 7 - RESTORE YOUR OUTLOOK CALENDAR FROM BACKUP
hey listen - i synchronised very first time my desire hd with computer via htc sync and desire has extracted all mine calender enteries including old ones which i also had deleted from computer, i factory resetted my desire hd and than i stopped using htc sync tried syncing with google account which i exported computer outlook and imported in google account. but doing that ways also PC sync option is still selected under calender settings which is making ma lyf difficult by kepping those old enteries which i did very first time!!
can someone help me out with a solution to remove pc sync while using google calender, also note that i have factory resetted my device and not connecting to computer anymore but still its showing me old enteries which i connected with computer very first time. Please help me out as this is really frustrating!!
Solved
Clear calendar storage data in Settings>Applications. Delete your mail account (if you have exchange or something) and re-add. Google is still fine. Then re-sync OTA.
Another solution
Better late than never... Try: Settings > Apps > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data. Then just re-sync all your calendars except the PC Sync/Exchange
This sadly does not work for me on my Lenovo M7 tablet. The 'PC Sync' account remains despite me clearing the calendar storage data. Is it tied to some other app?

How to delete PC Sync Calendar?

I'm having a spot of bother with syncing my Desire with Outlook, using HTC Sync 2. I am trying to use the 'Repair' option to delete and replace the 'PC Sync' calendar, as duplicate entries keep popping up, but it never seems to fully replace the calendar. When I try to delete the PC Sync calendar on the phone itself, the option doesn't appear, only the 'My Name' calendar. I am wary of HTC Sync, because I once managed to delete all of my contacts and calendars from the PC using it, but luckily had a backup on my HD2. Is there any way to fully delete the PC Sync calendar on the Desire?
Thanks.
I came to so much grief with HTC Sync I uninstalled it and now use MyPhoneExplorer which is working ok for me at the moment.
Oh, I thought that was only for Sony Ericsson phones. I'll have to give that a try. In the meantime, I created a blank calendar on Outlook, and did a repair sync with HTC Sync 2, and that wiped the calendar on the Desire, so I could start afresh.
