Mine comes through my calendar I had to make sure that it was going to my device from the m.google.com/sync that shows you devices setup for sync. And make sure in your phone's calendar you select your google account. I know you may have tried just suggestion.
is not possible (not anymore). u cannot even connect google calendar in Windows 8.

You can, however, not connect to EAS Services now already. If you add a new google account in windows phone it will use imap.

No, you can still connect EAS. I have it connected on Lumia 920 and 2 days on reinstalled HTC Titan.
Select Exchange account and add your Gmail account and password, server name is m.google.com, instructions are from old WM but still it works on WP 7 and 8

That was not the question. The question is how can I make the Google calendar as a Live Tile?
You have the regular Calendar tile. If you want more Information you will have to rely on third Party Apps like WeekView 7 that do allow for customized Calendar Live Tiles displaying a lot of Information in different ways.

I have tried to make a new account, but afterwards it just forwards to the hotmail homepage. I want it to work with the integrated Outlook. And in the live program I'm using another account than hotmail to msn, so it won't do any good to check sync with email, when it's another account. What can I do?
It needs the config information. The easiest way to do it is with Windows Live for Windows Mobile. Search for WLM here or PM me & I'll send you a RS link. You want 10.6.033.2100 BTW.
Actually, I think you're SOL if you're already using WLM for another account. POP email isn't available for Hotmail accounts, only for MSN accounts.
unless you pay and upgrade to the 19.99 a year, you will not get POP access to any hotmail account
So my only solution is to pay up, or it will not work in outlook on TyTN?
I have it configured on my normal PC with no problems.
I just installed seven and it works great. I asked the same question on another board today.

Isn't there a plug for Outlook anyway? If you wanted to, just install it from Microsoft.
http://email.about.com/gi/dynamic/o...S74p5AsZCAG2yP5bLTnQvU6m2ivmwN3459c5fMw%3d%3d
And the seven solution for AT&T uses Xpress mail, which requires your Laptop to be On and Connected to the Network. What kind of crap is with the AT&T and Xpress mail?!
And good luck with the BETA program...

Okay, but can I install that link on my TyTN?
funny, i've never had problems w/ hotmail...... it's under windows live for my phone...
Okay, but my problems is, that when I log in to Live IM I don't use my hotmail account but another. Do you have a non hotmail Live IM account, and it still work?

What do you mean you login with another account? You have an IM account and another email account?
maybe pocket MSN will work for you
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/software/pocketmsn.mspx)
Any Windows enabled phone should come with the Live Messenger enabled.
On the MS web site, there a lots of apps
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/software/default.mspx)
The Windows Live app only allows for 1 Hotmail/MSN/Live accont to be signed in at once. If you have a separate ID/account you use for IM and another for email you will have to switch accounts back and forth. This will obviously be a huge hassle and not worth the effort.
I would recommend downloading another instant messenging app and using the Windows Live app for your email account. Unless you pay $19.99 /year you can not get Hotmail emails to work with the WM messaging clients without signing into the Windows Live app.
Hope that helps clarify things.
Yes it does But I would like to perhaps use Skype as voip and chat and IM as hotmail tjecker, but do I just install Skype or should I also be using some voip.cab to get it to work?
Thanks for your help.

True. However, I have gone on line & linked my Live & Hotmail ID's & have forwad set, so I get TWO accounts, one @live.com & one @hotmail.com accounts under one on my device.

Good call on linking IDs. I completely forgot that you could get your emails all in one inbox. The only problem I could see would be not having the right email address show up on messages you send from the phone.
Can you quickly describe how you linked them?

i have had free hotmail synced with outlook before
In the touch flo Mail section, you have the different mail accounts. When I activated MSN, the program added the Windows Live/Hotmail account. I've removed it with a reg editor, but in the touch flow mail section, you still see the WL account. Does somebody know how to remove it?
I had the option to NOT choose for it when installing MSN Live ?

Yes, I did choose the no option, but the mail account was installed. Now I want to remove it completely.
I had no mail account created that way. Strange. Anyway, I really don't know how to get rid of it. I believe you could fix it in the registry.

To remove completlety the hotmail account, emails and the synchronized contacts from your book, you just need to change the windows live id thats logged in.
When you are asked to accept the new terms before you create a new account just "reject" and exit messenger.

Ca you help me, to find stand-alone mobile software to synchronize the diamond Outlook with a Google calendar.
I am not looking for a web site solution GooSync like.
I have tested GmobileSync, but it makes me some synchronizing errors…
Any information is welcome.
Thank you in advance
Hi, i use OggSync 4.19. It is easy and dont make any errors.
So you aren't interested in using a Exchange type solution? Like https://www.nuevasync.com/. It works flawlessly and can sync your contacts too. And it's free.
It's offline right now for a database rebuild (http://nuevasync.blogspot.com/) but try it out.

I use OggSync too. Free version only syncs contacts though, the Pro version costs ~£30/year and can sync multiple calendars, even ones that have been shared with you.
It works well and you don't need a connection to a PC etc. I just wish there was a one off payment. I might look for a free alternative when my sub expires as I don't update my calendars or contacts much.

Just had a read and it only syncs one calendar. Doesn't look like it syncs contacts either, I know it's not what the OP asked for but I prefer the all-in-one solution.
I use oggsync with google calendar and its great. No errors. The pro version will allow you to sync contacts and multiple calendars.
My set up works well for me
WM Pocket outlook syncs with outlook on my home pc
google sync (official google app & free) syncs with outlook
Therefore everything gets synced !!!
second on oggsync. works great even with free version. Pro version can setup a auto-sync. you can keep it in background, and it will sync every given interval

Hi,
If I add an entry on my HD7 it doesn't appear in my Google calendar. I manually sync as well as use the timed function but entries still won't go from the phone to Google calendar.
Whereas if I delete an entry on my phone, it gets deleted immediately from my Google calendar.
Has anyone got an idea how to get entries entered on the phone to appear in Google calendar?
Note: Windows Live is a dead loss with both contacts and calendar so Google might be my last chance of syncing Outlook & phone.
Cheers...

Does that mean you can add, edit and delete entries without problems with your Windows Phone to Google Calendar?
I have been doing that since day one and so far it has always worked like a charm.
Check your settings going to Settings\email & accounts\Google and make sure you are synchronizing the Calendar.
What I really find odd is the fact that the entries are deleted but not added...
Anyway, I add and delete things to the calendar in my HTC HD7 and they reflect to Google as soon as I sync and vice versa. It works!
As a foonote, MS calendar also works flawlessly.

Thanks for you post... whilst I find MS Calendar works fine (if starting from scratch), it's the fact that existing entries in Outlook wont's sync. I've found that custom categories, complex repeat reminder and attached pictures do not sync correctly. As with MS Contacts, the photos attached to each contact doesn't sync. Where as with Google Contacts and Calendar do.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way a fan of Google, I want to have my phone sync with my PC like I have for the past umpteen years; I don't want my private data uploaded 'somewhere in the cloud' possibly in another country with different privacy laws and complete strangers having access to it. As my MS Calendar has crashed completely now after trying to import from Google Calendar, the reliability is far from what they can expect people to use as a 'standard'.
I'll try creating a gash Google calendar from scratch and see if that can have entries added from my phone.
Thanks again...

It seems that my new google mail account works fine with outlook being sync'd using companionlink 4. The only reason I can think my older gmail account didn't work correctly is that I tried to link it to my ms live account. The ms live account is still dead and I see no way of getting it going, but my phone is now registered under it and apps downloaded against it... hence I'm stuck with it. Major screw-up by Microsoft imho... let's hope they do the right thing with the next update.
Alternatively... HTC provide their own FREE outlook sync'ing software for Android... why not Windows Phone?
I have a local calendar on my N6. I would like to change the calendar for all the events in this calendar to another (network) calendar. Alternatively, failing that, I would like to copy all the events to another calendar.
How do I do that?

I'd say use the Google calendar, that can be synced across multiple devices. If that's not what you meant to do, you would prolly have to export a .CSV file onto a pc and then load the CSV file to the new device.
And that's why Google is soooo much easier!

No, it's a Nexus 6, which is why I'm posting here. I suspect that this isn't device specific but I wasn't sure.
I have a local calendar that is the result of importing a lot of ical entries. What I'm trying to achieve is to move the entries in this calendar to a caldav calendar. I don't mind using Google temporarily (although I'd prefer not to) but I don't want to use Google permanently and even if I did, I don't know how to get the local calendar entries syncing with a network (either Google or caldav) calendar.

I don't know a whole lot about this besides syncing to Google and back again which sounds like more work than you need to do. I found a link on iCal to iDev... and there are a few other resource links in it too.
