Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to set the default calender on the captivate when adding a calender event it always defaults to "my calendar" which is in the phone. Every time I add an event to my calender I would like it to go to my gmail calender instead of always having to change it.
I'm surprised nobody has run into this yet. Does anyone use their calendar???
yeah I have the same problem.
Couldn't find a setting to change it. I will play with it a little more right now.
yep no luck.
Even went into settings while in calendar and unchecked the "my calendar" one - it still comes up as default.
No setting for it.
I haven't tried this yet, but if you add an event to "my calendar" does it still sync with the Gmail account? I assume no...

Anything on this issue yet? Isn't the point of a google phone to be able to integrate into google applications like calendar? This is a horrible feature on this phone which for me is a pain as i enter a lot of calendar entries daily. It worked just fine on my htc hero (as did the gps and contact groups...).

Did you go to Settings / Accounts and sync / your Gmail account, then check Sync Calander?

Yes. My gmail account syncs just fine. The problem is when you add an appointment to the calendar on the phone, it defaults to "my calendar" (which will not sync with google). I would like for it to default to my google calendar when adding an entry on the phone.

Try an alternative calendar app like Gemini Calendar or Jorte Calendar. They are both free and let you use your Google Calendar by default.
I chatted online with a Samsung person to find out if there was a way to make the Google calendar the default in the calendar app that comes with the phone. She claimed that she was able to sync an event from her phone calendar with her Google calendar, but the steps she told me to use did not work for me. I think she didn't understand what I was asking.

Im currently using Jorte and it is working fine. I hope samsung gets a fix for this as i do like the layout of the stock samsung calendar.

Really?
Create an event, change the calendar where it is saved to your gmail account, click ok, SAVE EVENT. If you don't want the event, delete it.
Next time you create an event it will default to your gmail account.
I have no issue with the calendar.
Open the calendar app, press the menu button, select more, select setting, select calendars, un-check 'My Calendar' done.

This is not working for me. Is there an actual setting somewhere you can set to force the phone to do what it's supposed to do?
Hello! So i'm new to the whole android scene, ive been using iPhones for 2 years, and windows mobile for years before that.
Currently on my phone, i have the gmail app for my gmail, some other email app that came with the captivate for my exchange syncing, and im using K-9 mail for my MSN email accounts (there's 3).
Everything works very well EXCEPT for the hotmail accounts. I would prefer to have all of my email accounts in 1 email app where i can open it up, pick the account and choose the folder i want to view (inbox, junk, trash, sent items, etc..)
Im having a tough time finding one... I'm ok with using 2 or 3 but 1 would of course be ideal. The biggest issue im having is the syncing. Ive tried every setting possible and my K-9 mail will not auto sync with the msn/hotmail servers. The only way to get my mail is to get into K-9 mail and tell it to sync, then after several minutes i'll have everything synced and see my new emails.
Is there an app that can combine all these, or just the hotmail accounts that will sync every hour or so automatically that anybody knows of?
Why not auto-forward your hotmail to your gmail. Or POP your hotmail from your gmail? You can set up a filter to label them as hotmail messages, or even use the multiple inbox lab.
There is no good all in one email app

MSN/Hotmail now supports full exchange sync with email, contacts and calendar. MS claims there is known issue with Android 2.1. In my case, I found the contacts sync doesn't work for me. MS advise you to use Android apps like TouchDown etc to do the sync instead.
The exchange server address is m.hotmail.com and use your email address and password to login.
So, you can use the default email app to add exchange sync for your MSN/hotmail account. The downside is that email app limits you to max two Exchange accounts.
Maybe the wrong place for this question, so if it is direct me accordingly, is there a way to merge my gmail account to my yahoo account for my phone's main login? Or maybe a combination sync to both?

Does check marking the sync on both accounts for say something like contacts or calendar merge the two? I hope my question is clear as mud!

I think you have to just manually pull out your contacts from yahoo into your gmail account. Or I know gmail allows you to pull your contacts out and put them into a different format, but I'm not sure if yahoo will allow you to upload that file into contacts. You can merge gmail contacts though if you can get them all in there.
Personally I hate yahoo cause they don't allow anywhere near the flexibility that gmail does unless you pay them.

Well google's flexibility is bar none. To get my facebook contacts into google+ I had to import all of my facebook friends to a yahoo account, then was able to import yahoo into G+. So I would imagine it shouldn't be hard when setting up a gmail account to get all contacts and emails imported.
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if there is a way to set the folders where deleted and sent emails are stored in the default email app.
I am using it mainly for a gmail email account but don't like the gmail app (mainly because it can't send to groups).
I also use Thunderbird on a PC and laptop.
I have set up Thunderbird to use the default gmail folders/labels but the phone email app doesn't seem to have a setting to change the folders, at least not one I can find. So I end up with two sent items and two deleted items folders which is a bit of a pain to manage.
Is there a way to set/change these folders in the email app?
Or, if not, is there another email app that will allow me to set it up to integrate with gmail folders/labels properly and allows sending of emails to groups
not sure but try k9mail
Hi all,
I want to sync the Exhange calendar from work into my private phone, but I don't want the work mails in my private phone.
On the HTC Sensation I could only check calendar and the mail didn't sync.
On the HTC one Inbox of the mail is mandatory and always marked.
Is there a way to unmark it? I have also checked other apps, but couldn't really find anything just for the calendar sync.
Edit: Would be great if I could umark inbox in a system file or something
Have you tried after setup is complete going back into settings, accounts and sync, and un-ticking inbox there? Worked for me just now.

I've updated to Viper One and now I can untick the mail checkbox in the exchange account!
