Sometimes I add an event to calendar.
Later, when I go into calendar, the event is dropped.
How can I fix it?
may change the sync setting with Google account?
Have no options. Only SYNC or NOT SYNC.
I want to sync in 2 way.
If I create a event in Calendar app, it needs to upload the event to google calendar, not drops.
nahh.... calendar.app is kind slow, for me it also drops events before the first time of sync.

Does anybody know how this sync works? Specifically in terms of how often calendar items are syncronized between the device and the cloud? Frequency doesn't appear to be a user configurable option as far as I can tell.
Items I create/edit on the WP7 device don't appear to be updating on the Hotmail calendar online (The device is configured to sync calendar items).
Thanks!
It's "push" sync, so it means that when a change happens either on the web or on the phone, it's synced immediatly on the other device.
Frequency of sync appears in Hotmail>>Settings>>synchronisation settings. From my understanding, setting this to manual will set it for Hotmail, Contacts and Calendar - just like Exchange ActiveSync in 6.x. [if I am wrong then I guess Contacts and Calendar are not affected by that setting]
To save data, I often have mine set to manual, and sometimes hourly. I noticed that I added a contact and it didn't appear on contacts.live.com for a couple of days. I wasn't fussed though, it did sync eventually.
I use several gmail accounts and the Gmail app on the phone is set up to show messages from all of them. This is great, but at the same time the phone tends to associate all other things with at least one of these Google accounts.
My main problem is the Calendar (both stock and third-party, I tried Cal from Any.do). The stock app is constantly syncing with Google, although in Google account settings calendar sync is turned off. Moreover, the Calendar assigns new events to the account I was using last in Gmail. As a result, the Calendar is now a mess since all events are scattered between several Google calendars and none of them are syncing with the HTC PC software. That was a problem after Lollipop update when I needed to do a factory reset and lost most of the events.
Is there a way to separate the Calendar from any kind of account present on the phone? I do not need sync, I do not need to share, I do not need my calendar to be connected to anything, for me it's just a simple list of events and tasks. I would like to be able to back it up on my PC (and not any kind of Cloud). But this is only needed rarely and I certainly don't care about past events. What I also would like to do is to consolidate the events scattered over multiple accounts into one local, offline calendar.
I can't find a way to do so with neither the stock Calendar, nor with the Cal from Any.do. If anyone can suggest what to do, I will be very grateful.
Call me paranoid, but I don't like the idea of keeping my appointments in the cloud.
The problem is, the stock HTC calendar reduces available options when I'm switching from a Google account to either the phone (i.e. HTC Sync) or local account.
Does anyone have any experience with the Google calendar app and local accounts? Is it possible to use it without syncing with Google? Is there any other decent calendar app that would work with a completely local account, with an occasional backup to either SD card or PC?
You can turn off synchronization for Google Calendar under settings.

Somehow on my phone this setting has no effect and Google keeps syncing the calendar.
And then I'm using several gmail accounts, so the events get scattered between different "accounts". I have no idea why a simple list of appointments has to be associated with any kind account.
I don't think you are doing it right when you turned off the calendar sync. Anyway, there is an app called Offline Calendar. Perhaps you could give it a try.
I know this app. It creates a local (offline) calendar, but does not do anything else, you have to use this local calendar as an "account" in some other calendar app, like the stock HTC calendar.
As to turning off sync, I don't think you can do it "wrong". You just go into Google account settings, tap on an account (if you have more than one, like I do) and then there are sync settings, you can choose whether to sync gmail, contacts, calendar, apps, etc. I uncheck all of the boxes except for gmail, since this is the only thing I need to be synced - otherwise I will not be able to read email and that's the whole point of having a Google account. In any case, the calendar sync setting is off and still the HTC calendar app syncs every time I add an event to a calendar associated with a Google account.
Two ideas to try:
1. Use Google calendar with sync turned off. See if it still syncs new event.
2. Stay with HTC calendar and use the offline new account created by that app. Add new event to the offline account.
Try a calendar on the play store that has no sync function........ Or, don't worry. Everyone syncs... If there were security issues, it would be reported all over.
I doubt Google will show up at an event you have scheduled and mug you. ?
G'day Team,
Has anyone found a way to get the Always on Display to show the next event from your Outlook Calendar?
I understand it will show the next event from the Google Calendar in Android 9 and have this working correctly however I want to display my Outlook calendar.
I've tried adding my outlook calendar to the Google calendar from within the app (which works in terms of showing the appointments within the app) but the Always on Display will only display events created within the Google Calendar directly.
I love this feature (as an ex-Windows Phone user) but use Office 365\Outlook not Google Calendar.
Any suggestions on how to get around this??
Many Thanks!
I am looking for the same, but I guess AOD is designed to show only Google Calendar events. On a side note, how did you manage to add outlook calendar within Google Calendar app?

you need to share your outlook calendar with either the google calendar or samsung calendar, you can go in google calendar, settings, manage calendar, add ouutlook calenar (put in your username/passoword) if its your personal email calendar, it will show up, if its your corporate calendar, your company would have disabled sharing of calendar for security reasons, and it will give error. check if you can share your corporate calendar to your gmail id. usually its blocked.
was able to successfully show the corporate calendar on AOD, go to the outlook app on your android, and select sync calendars, enable the toggle. it will sync the outlook calendar with the samsung calendar and it will show up on your AOD, just tried it on my s22 plus it works. after hrs of tinkering around.

Considering the Pixel 2XL isn't a Samsung device and doesn't have Samsung apps on board, he'd have to share the calendar with Google Calendar.
Not to mention that we both replied to a post that was dead and buried four years ago.
So ever since I setup this RMA device I can never get my Facebook events to sync natively with the Google calendar app. I can force a calendar entry through the Facebook app but I want it to sync to the calendar without me having to do that. I used to be able to choose Facebook as a calendar within Google Calendar but the option has never been there on this device.
