Wondering if anyone can help!
Synced my outlook calendar across to the windows live one so that it would show up on handset which it does.
I decided to import some old calendar entries from up to two years ago into my windows live calendar which show up OK on my PC windows live calendar but they have never synced over to my HD7 windows live calendar.
Becoming a bit of a mystery as all my new appointments sync over OK to mobile.
There may be a setting to limit how far back to sync. There is for email.
I’m not syncing a calendar so can't check for you but go into your phone's Windows Live settings.
Well, I have gone into Windows Live settings on mobile and there is an option for email which I have now changed from 1 month to anytime so now all my hotmail emails have synced all the way back in time to my handset.
There seems to be no option for calendar entries so we seem to have no control over this, I hope I am wrong though. Anyway my old calendar entries still have not synced over to mobile which is a pity.
Check Windows Live to see if there's a setting there.
Checked Windows Live, still nothing there settings wise.
Same Problem
I sync my 780 contacts on the live cloud. Then tried to sync with HD7 and it didnt work.
Then went and did a complete reset of my phone. After that with the first sync got all my contacts on HD7 super fast.
Then made some changes on the phone and wanted to check if they update on the live cloud and now phone says it cannot sync and gives error 8000618.
Has anyone facing sync issues?
Not had any syncing problems as such and all my contacts came over to the phone OK.
I reckon the old calendar entries do not sync with the phone apart from reoccuring ones and this is just the way windows phone 7 does things as all the old calendar entries are listed on my live calendar on the internet OK.
Hopefully this might be addressed in an update soon.
Is urs a unlocked from 02 also? u think the unlock is a problem?
It is from O2 but is not unlocked. I did get the unlock code from O2 but have not used it yet, may do in the future.
I do not think it is a handset problem, I reckon it is software ie. WP7
Has anyone else managed to get all past appointments synced to HD7 handset from Windows Live Calendar?
yes you can get past appointments also.
just copy paste all your calendar events into live calendar.
it worked with me

how did you do this? I cant find a way to sync them up!
Thanks, Rick
Having the same fight as everyone with this stupid non-syncing of Outlook that Microsoft has decided for us. Found a couple of issues that can be worked around.
Clash 1: some items not appearing in Live calendar or on phone.
Fix: Entries were repeat entries set up a long time ago. Reset entries to start today and sync'd ok (so far)
Clash 2: custom catagories caused sync errors.
Fix: Clicking 'Upgrade to Color Catagories...' in the Live account properties (in Outlook) fixed this for most entries.
Still working my way through my calendar so I'll update if I find anything else.

update from my post above...
I've given up again... syncing my windows phone shouldn't be this difficult. Also noticed that Live doesn't fully sync your contacts either whereas Google contacts does... so trying Google calendar next.
Syncing ok with CompanionLink 4, but 1 strange anomaly...
1. I can delete calendar entries on the phone that syncs with google and hence outlook but...
2. if I add an entry on the phone, it doesn't replicate in the google calendar.
The last time I had to faf like this to get calendar sync'ing set up was with a Palm V... I'd thought we'd moved on by now
Can anyone help please?
When I open calender and switch to month view, I try to select a future date for which I have nothing scheduled and instead of going to the day I selected, it goes to the last day have something scheduled. Does that make sense? Anyone else find this annoying ?
Yep - happens here also
I work night shifts and want to figure out how to get the times to show up on the lock screen instead of Wednesday - Thursday as I don't work the same times everytime.... :/
Doesn't happen to me - when i press future date from month view calendar, it goes to the future day i selected.
Calendar option: Windows live is ON
phone name and model: HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.07004.0
FW Rev#: 2250.09.12302.728
Same as BlueGreenWhite, doesn't happen on mine. When i select a future date from Month view, it opens up that date.
It depends whether you are in a day or agenda view (before accessing the month view). If you are in a day view it'll go to the selected day, if you are in agenda view it'll go to the next day with appointment which makes sense as days without appointments aren't displayed in agenda view.
There you go, Mystery solved
Thanks, makes complete sense
Calendar working good.
I sync with Gmail Contact and Calendar. Everything works fine except that the Birthdays recorded into Contact cannot be show/sync on HD7 calendar.
Thanks for the tip, it does now make sense!
Another problem I have just found, after one month has passed calendar appointments disappear from handset calendar (not reoccuring ones) but remain OK on Windows Live Calendar on PC/in Outlook. This is a problem for me as I like to keep all my past appointments with me on the handset.
Does anyone else have the same problem?

I wouldn't call that a problem. Why is it so important to have past appt's on your calendar?
Past appointments are important to keep on the handset as sometimes I need to refer back to certain dates in meetings.
Past Calendar is IMPORTANT

Yes. Agreed. Past calendar is very important when you need to trace back your appointment.
I do have the same problem, I think something wrong with the Sync . . .
Under Windows Live (Primary), the setting only allow to check/uncheck the Mail.
Under Gmail, the setting allow to check/uncheck the Mail, Contact & Calendar.
Sometimes can sync and sometimes can't. Waiting for the FIX from Microsoft.
Yes, I am hoping this will be fixed by Microsoft in the next update. Will be most dissappointed if it is not.
Hello,
Searched for my question but couldn't find specific or similar thread.
Situation:
1. I have a Captivate with Stock 2.2 and from last 2 days on Cognition 4.4.6
2. I maintain my calendar tracking in MS Outlook and sync it with Google Calendar using Google Calendar Sync software (set to sync every 120 minutes).
3. I use CalWidget app to display the Google calendar on home screen (not that this point is important)
Problem & steps taken:
About 2 months back I had created a recurring event in MS Outlook (basically to remind myself to pay my rent - called getRent) and by mistake set the recurrence to daily rather than first day of the month. After sometime, I saw on my phone that I set the recurrence incorrectly.
I realized the error and set the recurrence right in MS Outlook. It did sync properly with Google Calendar. Now the Outlook and Google Calendar do show the event occurrence correctly to be once a month but when I see it on my phone, it still has daily occurrence.
When I see the event details for getRent on phone Calendar, in 'Repeat' attribute, it says 'Custom...(cannot customize on phone)'
I delete the event series from phone but the next time the phone syncs, the ghost entry shows up again.
I tried removing the sync between my google account and phone completely and resynced but it happened again.
Any suggestions? Am I missing anything ?
Hi this its my first please go easy. I'm disappointed now with the galaxy note and Android. I need a decent calendar as I record all my work and then search by client to find my history and details and then paste into invoices from outlook on my laptop
Here's the story;
I've had the old HTC windows phones hd2 tytn etc and used stylus then touch synced outlook etc. Then got an iPhone4 to try out. The calendar was poor as it wouldn't let me search far back, found ical app which is brilliant. Now I'm not a fan of apple as its far to restrictive and you have to jailbreak to free it. Then along came the note, brilliant, large screen stylus notes, everything I want. So I've had it month and finally took the plunge to get outlook onto goggle calenear and s planner. What a nightmare, first I have outlook 2002 so finally get appointments to google then synced to phone. thought I'd use google calendar and phone and not outlook. Can't search easily on google calendar and s-planner crashes when searching. I do have a history of 5000 events though going back 5 years, but no problem with iPhone or old windows 6.5.
My conclusion galaxy note brilliant but let down by Android. Also apps are battery draining and data usage restrictions difficult. Now I know why ios will prevail and that is just as disappointing. Sorry for long post.
I can empathize with you. I used to be a happy user of Palm Desktop, which worked 100% as expected. Then I was forced into the Outlook world, which almost worked (through Activesync), but it had its glitches, like suddenly not connecting or producing duplicate entries, which consequently would give me multiple alarms for the same event. Now I am using a Note, with S-Planner and Google calendar and it doesn't seem as solid as Outlook, not to mention Palm Desktop.
Still, Outlook has never been a perfect piece of software and I won't miss it much. If Samsung managed to put together a sensible version of KIES, it would be enough for me.
Alternatively, if you really depend heavily on Outlook, why not try a third party synchronizing software, like Companionlink http://www.companionlink.com/ ?
Trouble is google calendar is to basic for me and has stopped syncing the last 3 months but has all the older events ? even though out is on my s-planner, so i think i need outlook. I do have the 2002 version though which not very compatible.
I don't know why the s planner is force closing when searching.
My key essentials are outlook sync to phone and search.
I would get outlook 2010 if this would help sync as I don't want to go back to iPhone
the iPhone app was weekcal by utilitap which was great.
I also use Outlook 2002 (when I have to), since later versions, especially 2007 and 2010 are even worse than that. They seem to have lots of functions, but these are not well implemented. Even though they seem to work, they are buggy and instead of quietly doing what they're supposed to, produce lots of infamous Outlook secret error codes for you to resolve. I don't have time for this kind of game.
Google calendar misses some functions, but as far as I am concerned, it synchronizes well all the events I put into S-Planner. It looks like there's a problem in your setup. Do you have automatic data synchronization turned on on your Android phone? Do you synchronize while connected to WiFi? Or maybe your data transfer is somehow blocked when on 3G network?
I do have data sync on and sync via wifi. Good point I will change this. May do a hard reset as I am not using as my main phone yet, just trying to get everything stable before I transfer. Shame about all this though as it is a great phone.
Thanks for your help.
This may help re the search crashes in S-Planner - I noticed this as well, immediately after a recent firmware update. Before that, S-Planner search worked fine. I plan to register with Samsung and raise a ticket or ask a question - the more of us that register and complain, the quicker it will be fixed, so I'd encourage you to do the same.
Further to the search crash. It's tied to the Google Calendar (that S-Planner interacts with). Called Samsung New Zealand for support and what a surprise, they didn't even want to talk to me about the problem. Figured it out for myself with the help of a little forum searching - it seemed that that the calendar cache was conflicting with the firmware update. Backed up data, forced the calendar to close from Manage Applications, rebooted, and now the search works fine - I've run about 5 searches and all seems good so far. Re syncing with Outlook - I sync using Kies with Outlook 2007, no problems so far.
Logged a query with samsung and just done a factory reset and now have Kies installed on my PC. It wont sync with outlook 2002 contacts or schedule get message "an error has occurred attempting to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt"
Looking on forums there seems to be a problem with kies or I dont know if it is a problem with outlook 2002. I could upgrade to 2003 (I like the week view of 2002) then the google sync software would work hopefully for the outlook to google calendar? Idealy just want reliable local sync from outlook to Note, just like with my iphone to weekcal (sorry to say the iphones looking like gods gift at the moment).
Hopefully ICS will put all this right.
Simple answer for you - I use outlook for work all day and I sync using myphonexplorer. It does more than just sync, install programs allows you to text via laptop etc. Best of all its free - syncs via wifi or usb or bluetooth. Its nothing short of perfect for my needs. Syncs contacts, notes, diary etc
Same issue for me with ActiveSync.
While I was on GB no matter what application I used the sync never happened. The application just pops a message that the server refused the connections or some thing of the sort. After a few searches I found out that my Org's mail policies are on stricter side and they do not allow syncing on certain androids unless they support encryption. As Samsung has not implemented it, I had to check my mails on webmail.
But looks like even ICS is a disappointment on this front. I flashed an ICS ROM and checked, but no luck on MS EAS
Jorte Calendar?
This maybe not be germane to all your problems, but I struggled with the native Samsung calendar / tasks app to sync properly - especially with the widget view.
I switched to Jorte Calendar. It syncs perfectly AFAICT with Google calendar, has great tasks support and about a million different customisable widget views.
Unfortunately, searching appears to be its Achilles' heel... which I guess for you means its no go.
On the PC end, I have switched to Em Client. All so far is syncing fine. Note, tablet, PC, cloud; calendar & contacts.
Could not get myexplorer app utility to work either. Got duplicates of calendar appointments (total of 5000 appointments twice !)
Restored from back up and now still have no
Appointments , events on my note.
Taking too much of my time up.
Still using iPhone for general day to day.
One thing I have noticed though is how much battery my note has in reserve after getting rid of apps, like battery saver, juice defender etc. Ironic really.

hi,
i seem to have an issue with creating recurring calendar entries on my z3c.
using the built-in calendar app or 3rd party apps, i can create a calendar entry but as soon as i make it recurring, it doesn't show up.
does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong ? can someone test creating a recurring appointment on their z3c ?
thanks in advance
Im not sure it helps but it works perfectly for me.
I can only think it might have something to do with your google account sync? Have you set that up?
It might be completely unrelated. I cant think of anything else except maybe clear the data from calendar and restart
hi there,
thanks for taking the time to reply - much appreciated.
i sync my local device calendar (i.e not google) with another pc and the items have appeared on the sync'd calendar but still don't appear on my own device which is odd.
at least i know it's specific to my device rather than a z3c issue - thanks for that.
Hi
I have the same issue with my Z3. When I enter a recurring appointment, it doesnt show on the phone. It shows on every other device expect the Z3. Any solution?
Best regards
works fine for me as well.. could it be you create the recurring event in a calendar that is not selected to be displayed on your z3c ?
e.g. I have multiple calendars I sync with google, but I have selected several to not display on my device (they are synced though), maybe you have similar setup and post the new event to a device calendar by default that is selected to not display...
In my case, thats not the issue. I only use one calendar in Google. I've used the same calendar for years, on different phones, and in different apps, without any problems. The problem ocurred when switching to Sony Z3.

I believe the Sony has a "device" calendar though, that doesn't sync to google.. so chances are you are creating the event correctly in your google calendar, which is then synced to your other devices - but the sony is set to display the device calendar, which is obviously empty.. look into the left hand side pull-out menu on the sony calendar app and see which calendars are checked to display..
