Is there an app or a way to sync calendars between two phones? Me and my GF would like to sync appointments between both phones automatically instead of having to text each other then add the appointment. It would be very convenient to have something like that.
My wife just has my google account on her phone. We share apps I buy and calendar entries are synced between the two. She just has it set to not sync my email.

I didn't know you could do that, but I don't want her having access to my accounts like that.
So then make a new Google account that you only use between you and her and have it only sync the calendar. That's the beauty of being able to have multiple Google accounts on the same device. Just make sure if you ever wipe/restore, that you don't enter that account back in first or else it becomes your primary account on the phone and makes it impossible (AFAIK) to remove the account from the phone without restoring again.

I can see your issue. Being married we simply don't have anything to keep away from each other. However if I were just dating I wouldn't do it.

On my Incredible, I started a gmail account and now I receive gmail on my phone.
Now I want to use gmail on my desktop PC but I don't remember how I started it on my phone i.e. I can't remember my username, password or the email address I used to start gmail.
How how can I recall these facts to add my gmail account to my desktop?
Thanks

Just go to settings>accounts & sync, you'll be able to see your username under gmail, then you can just go to the gmail site and recover your password.

Thank you for the reply. I did what you said and the user name was my gmail address, and they asked for things I couldn't supply, like, who I sent gmail to, when did I open the account, etc.
Apparently I don't really have an account - just an email address. Does that make sense?

If your phone is receiving email you have a GMail account. If you don't recall what information you put in when you originally started the account there's probably not much more that can be done.
Did you find this phone or something?

VERY FUNNY.
I have always had a lot of respect for this forum, but it is open to everybody and everything.
I started up my Gmail and got rebuffed when I tried to buy an apk and it required me to check-out at the Google store. I was told I didn't have a Google account so I wasn't able to buy the apk, but I am still able to send and receive Gmail. Now I want to be able to receive Gmail on my desktop, but I don't have the information to be able to complete that so that's why I asked for help.
Thanks.

You can send and recieve mail because you have a gmail account. You can't buy anything at the store because you don't have a matching account in Google Checkout which you would have had to set up separately.
Based on the information you're providing - which I'll agree with the others comes off as either sketchy or aternatively completely computer clueless that's my best guess.
I rooted a guy that I work with phone and he didn't know his gmail password. He didn't use gmail, just set up the account to use the market and backup contacts.....bit he also was able to figure out when he opened the account because it was the same day he bought the phone.

Thanks for the comments.
I just got off Google's site and I went through the steps to recover my username and recover my password and even though the recovery site accepts my username and my gmail address, it sends me a message that it's database has no reference to a password for either one.
I tried a site that was supposed to be the tech site to help me and after I asked my question, they asked me how much would I be willing to pay for the answer and suggested 37 dollars.
Well, I guess you know, I went no further.
My problem is, why does google recognize my gmail address, but has no reference to a password I would have to have to start the gmail account? ? ?
I know it's my fault I don't remember what I did to create the account, but why is there no record???
Google can't, or won't let me back in without some things I don't recall, but they seem to have no mechanism to let me correct my situation without just cancelling the account and creating a new one.
Thanks again for the dialog.

under 'accounts and settings' i'm finding facebook contacts sync like it was before gingerbread 2.3.3 came out
Yeah. It always shows there. But when you try to add it to sync, it just goes back to the page that shows you accounts that are already synced. it never adds FB.

Doubt it. Its always been like this. Since Android 2.3.4 Facebook camera sync has been broken. Don't think they're about to bust it out. Could be wrong based on how responsive Facebook has been the last couple weeks as far as the app goes, but guess we'll see.

Well hopefully they leave OUT the functionality bit that automatically DELETED phone numbers from your address book when someone takes their phone number off their facebook profile.
I lost close friend's phone numbers more than once on my old Droid X because of this "functionality"
Facebook can't add it back since Google blocks com.facebook.katana in the sync providers package on the Nexus line.
Google removed it since Facebook doesn't allow exporting of contracts.

GNex 4.0.4 stock and I cannot add the sync option at all: i click on ADD ACCOUNT, choose facebook but then nothing happens 9see attached image)
What I find interesting is that my Accounts and Sync now shows that Facebook is synced with my G-Nex.
It always used to be that I could go to "add account" and "add" facebook. However, when I would click on the button to add it, it would simply go back to the "add account" screen. It would not show Facebook as an account.
I havent tried in a while, but I noticed today that it said Facebook was an account on the phone and it showed the green sync button. I clicked to refresh and it did it's thing and said that it was "refreshed at whatever the time was.
Anyhow, I never had it say that it was synced before, but it does now. Seems like others have had this happen as well, but I figured I would report it as it is something new for me.
Stock Rom, Not rooted or anything. FB version 1.9.3.
Also, while it says that it is synced, when I go into my "people" app it shows Facebook as being synced, but when I click on it to show the facebook contacts it only shows one, and that is my own info.
Like I said though, my phone never even showed that FB was even an option, let alone actually synced so I figured I would report. thanks.

The change happened with an update to ICS. Blocked providers will now still show under Accounts even though sync'ing is still disabled in the OS itself for that particular package name.

I'm on stock 4.0.4 And been on it for a while. I never had it say that it was actually synced before though. I've had the option to sync Which always failed when I attempted to do it. Now it not only shows that it has the option to sync but it also shows that it is synced with Facebook.

I wanted to use the GMAIL app for my phone, but since there is no way to set it NOT to push email (which is battery draining), I had to switch back to the stock email app. However, I am noticing that the stock app does not actually delete emails in my gmail, but instead sends them to a newly labeled folder called [imap]/trash.
Is there a way to stop this all from happening? I really don't want to have to go in and delete stuff twice all the time. Would anyone recommend any other (preferably free) email apps for an unrooted stock GS3?
Thanks!
EDIT: This also happens to sent emails. They go to ta [imap]/Sent folder instead of just my regular sent folder.
Uh, you can go into Accounts -> Sync and uncheck the Gmail sync option to stop it from syncing.
If you want to sync other things, and not gmail just uncheck the gmail option.

i am aware of that. i like my email to check itself every hour or so (which i can do with the stock app), but not constantly. is that to much to ask? i could both delete from server, and check hourly, on the stock mail app on my iphone

good point, sorry about that. yeah, i don't want my email constantly pushed, but i also would rather not have to check it on my own as i have 5 email accounts and prefer to just get notified hourly.
i'm trying the k-9 app, but it doesn't group threaded messages. i guess that's a small price to pay... meh.

Also, does anyone know if having multiple email accounts pushing vs. just one account pushing would drain the battery faster? does it matter how many you have going?
On my phone, I had all my contacts saved under [email protected] (my university email runs on gmail system) google account althought i never had any success syncing them from my phone.
Just now I deleted that google account on the phone forgetting the fact all my phone numbers were there. Obviously I cant get em back from my google account since there was never a successful sync.
Can anyone tell me how I can get back my contacts?
Thanks

It never synced with the mail system. So basically I'm asking whether I can recover it from within the phone instead of syncing
Export your contacts to another Gmail account, log in with that and sync - job done!
If they didn't sync to an account your SOL. Sorry.

If you can access your uni mail in the Google Apps interface, maybe you can export your contacts there into .csv or .vcf. So you can import them in your main Google account or just locally on the phone via 3rd party Android app that imports contacts.
It looks like my new contacts that I add on my note sync's with google sometimes. I'm not sure why but it seems like some contacts will sync with no issues and be on my google account with no issues then some of them only syncs to my phone. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
for whatever reason, new contacts get stored on the phone, I had made a post a while back about this.
added new contacts to the phone, and expected them to go to exchange, found out they were stored on the phone, on my old S2 I had the option to change where the contact was stored, directly from the phone.
that is not an option on this phone currently.
my workaround was to create the contact in outlook, so it would go to exchange, then it will sync to phone. in your case, probably just create the contact at the google website, then let it sync to you phone.
Yeah, that's what I started to do but it's just annoying because I grab a friends number on the fly and not remember to do that. I just find it weird that it only works sometimes.

Are you selecting Google contact as your option as it seems to default to device if you do not specify.
When I add a contact, it always gives me a choice where to store it. I always choose Google.
You know sometimes it's the simple things that get overlooked.. I totally missed that option when creating a new contact. I was trying to find a way to change where it was stored after it was created.
Thanks for the helpful info.
