Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.

there's a program called activegcsync, it is pretty good
woah way to bump and old thread.
hi, i developed a small tool to synchronize the google calendar with pocket outlook. is a beta but if you want to give it a glance. In future also sync contacts.
http://gsync.wordpress.com
Great app, works quite well.
One question though, I can't seem to be able to get the "Where" field to come across. Is this something missing in the app?
Also it could be cool to put a auto update every time we do a change on the calendar ....
or more simply every 15 minutes....
thx
Try www.nuevasync.com
It works fantastic with Google Calendar!!! PLUS there is no extra programs to install because it uses ActiveSync which is built in to WM6
Also, it sync contacts from Google Contacts or Plaxo... I honestly prefer Plaxo because it doesn't have the annoying "Suggested Contacts" and it keeps the format as last name first, but I would still recommend Google Contacts because there have been problems with Plaxo syncing due to "excessive usage" (according to Plaxo).
Hope it helps everyone
Activegcsync for multiple Google Calendar sync (WM5/WM6/WM6.5)
Try Activegcsync by Gil Milow. Unlike other software I have tried (eg. GMobileSync), it works very well for multiple calendars (and contacts). It is available free although I'm sure the developer would appreciate a donation for his efforts. It is software like this that at least keeps our Windows Mobile phones (WM5/WM6/WM6.5) functional.
Hi
I'm using a WM6.1 device and would like to sync at least the calendar with two exchange servers (2003 SP2). Ideally, i also would like to sync the contacts.
so:
ExchangeWORK <-> WM6.1 <-> ExhangeHOME
Anyone a solution please?
my thanks
Patrick
Not sure this will work, I was going to do something similar, with having all business contacts and appts. on my office computer and peronal on my notebook. The problem is, it's possible everything will get mixed together. So let's say you start with your work server, and all the info is on, now when you sync your home server, it will also grab the work info as well, now you'll just have everything twice, on both servers and your phone. The problem is, it syncs all data in the phone.
This is exactly what i want, just duplicate the date on my workcompu, homecompu and wm6 device.
Problem is that through activesync you can only sync your data (email, contacts, calendar, etc) with one partnership.
but i managed the above by using workaround
i use google calendar sync now and this works nicely
so on my workpc my exchange calendar is synced with my google calendar
and the same trick on my home pc.
not ideal, but it works nicely
now i have to find something for syncing my contacts
any sugestions?
thks
Patrick
I'm not sure about using an Exchange Server, never used myself, but after setting up the one, have you already tried setting up the other?
Also, there is a good chance this will duplicate everything though. Once the second server picks up the info from the first, it will all go back to the first when you sync with it, and visa versa.
I have to activesync through work, but miss my google contacts/calendar updating- Is there a solution? Free would be great! Thanks in advance.
might wanna play around with seven beta
www.community.seven.com
they have some software you can run on your desktop system that will let you get your email im not sure if it will let you sync multiple calendars and contacts
but it does let you do a global search on contacts from all the email accounts you plugin
i'm a big fan of google contacts/calendar and use it with this software along with two other gmail accounts and exchange account from work
should check it out only thing is they charge you international text message everytime you set up the software
but after reading around i was able to figure out how to get around it setup all the accounts that you want and then if you are a heavy flasher like myself back up the sever directory in /application data on your phone (i use pim backup)
then when you flash restore the folder with pim backup or whatever you use and then reinstall the cab give it a few minutes after you reinstall should see your email accounts and you might have to refresh the data to get everything to sync back up it takes a while but it's better then payin for an international text message in my book
Honestly, I had my work calendar and tasks syncing with my Gmail email and Contacts for the longest time. Accidentally, I merged my work calendar into Gmail, and it RESENT EVERY SINGLE APPOINTMENT ON MY CALENDAR WITH ME AS THE ORGANIZER AND EFFED A TON OF MEETINGS UP. I havent done it in a while. let me get the process down and Ill let you know how i did it.
If there is a solution out there I would like to try it or at least know.
Its driving me crazy trying to keep up with my Google contacts ever since I stopped syncing them. My ideal situation is:
Sync Google contacts only
Sync work calendar and Google calendar
Access work email and Google( able to do this)
Thanks in advance
I have done searching on this, but all the information is not consistent and fragmented, so I am not sure if what is true.
What I am looking to find is if and what version of Android can sync (push) with MS Exchange (email, contacts, and calendar) and Hotmail.
Back a long time ago, I had tried the MyTouch 3G with T-Mobile and enjoyed it all except it didn't do a complete sync (missing contacts and calendar) with the MS exchange server we use at work. It also did not do push sync with Hotmail.
I have seen some places that Android will do this now, but again haven't found anything too concrete on this.
If you know, please let me know if Android will do all the syncing above and what version.
Thanks.

Not my work, but I can say that it worked first time.
Ok, I've searched for this and the few solutions that I have found do not make any difference for me, so either, something fundamental has changed at Google, or I have set something else wrong.
The Problem;
I have one Google Calendar and one Windows Live Calendar set up on my Windows Phone. (HTC 7 Pro).
Until 2 weeks ago (approximately) every thing sync'd correctly both ways.
Now, events entered as Google Calendar Items on the Phone do not sync with the Online Calendar. Events entered on the Online Calendar sync as expected.
I have tried changing the "Automatically add invitations to my calendar:" setting to "yes" or "yes, but dont send event reminders....." as suggested in other threads, but this does not have any effect. i am aware that this fix will not work on events created before the setting change. It does not work with events created before or after the Setting was changed.
The Windows Live Calendar syncs properly both ways. There is no issue with this, but could it's presence be affecting how the Google Calendar behaves?
Any further advise would be appreciated.
Have you considered that it can have something to do with summer/vinter time. check that you phone and gmail account have the same time zone and both are updated to summer time.

I've had the same issue on my Samsung Focus since I pretty much bought the thing. I gave up and finally just moved to the live calendar. I guess I could try again now that I have Nodo to see if that fixed it.
There's nothing for NoDo to "fix" on your phone. I've been using Google Calendar on my Focus since day 1, and it has always worked (both pre- and post-Nodo) once I got it properly configured (using the "Automatically add invitations to my calendar" setting). I just tested it to make sure.
I wonder if your Google account on your phone has become corrupted somehow. Have you tried deleting the account from the phone and recreating it?
But, I am puzzled that you say that the events were syncing correctly before. If you didn't have the "Automatically add invitations to my calendar" setting enabled, I don't see how that could have worked. WP7-created events are only sent as invitations to Google, and without that setting, they can't show up in your calendar.
Thanks for responses.
I'm fairly certain that this is not a DST issue. I have checked clocks and all seems correct.
Apologies for confusion, robodad.
I switched the "automatically add invitations..." setting to NO about the time it stopped working, but didn't notice until the last couple of days that it had, stopped working.
On noticing, I researched and discovered how this setting should be set to YES due to the way that Google handles new events from WP7.
Now that this is switched back to YES it is still not sync'ing.
A response to the same question on Google's forums has suggested that the ICS is broken. I do not know what this means but it appears that this is at Google's end.
Hello,
I've exactly the same problem with my Trophy 7.
i had the setting on " yes, but don't send.." , the appointments came into google calendar with a question mark.
All of a sodden it stopped working, so i changed the setting to "yes", but it doesn't make a difference.
The strange thing is that it does work both ways on my iphone, so there is no problem (i think) from googles side as you suggested.
This is very frustrating because i use google calendar as my main calendar, i hope someone has an other solution.
Thanks for any help.
Monique
Update
Well, from the Google Forums where this has been posted (OPs:-Am I allowed to link to that from here?), Google have now taken some sort of ownership of this and are apparently looking into it.
They have contacted (seemingly) everyone that has posted on their Forum for details as to the problem.
Maybe something sorted out soon.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for keeping us updated here with what's worked for you and what hasn't. Andrew has been working with me off-thread and has been super helpful, and we think we might have a workaround for now. Do you guys mind trying this out and letting me know if it works for you?
1) Delete the "Google" account on your device
2) Add an "Outlook" account
3) Be sure the email address is correct the first time it asks you
4) Device will say "Check your information and try again" and give a more
detailed form
5) Be sure that both email address and username are correct in this form
(domain can be blank or a dummy value like "goog")
6) Device will give "We couldn't find your settings", choose "Advanced"
7) This time device will give a field for server, enter "m.google.com"
8) Now it should sync.
9) Configure the account as desired and you should be able to add a
calendar event successfully
10) Keep using this account or, optionally, delete this account and add a
"Google" account (either way is the same)
Cheers,
Alice
This appears to have had limited success. Certainly hasn't worked for me. But does appear to have worked for at least one other contributer there. If intermittently

Can you please tell me how did you sync your phone calander with windows live account? I can not do it.
Latest from Google Forums
This from Andrew who seems to be doing a lot of work on this.
"I've spent quite an enjoyable an hour on the phone with a mobile-software chap from Google, who has access to sync logs. What's happening in my case is that although I set up the sync with my gmail address, the phone is sending events with my live.com address as "Organizer", and those events are being rejected. This happened again when I connected with a test Google calendar account as well -- my phone used my live.com address.
Steve then tried to sync his phone with a test Google calendar account, and events created on the phone were synced correctly. He then tried his phone with *my* Google calendar -- that is, set up my gmail account on his phone -- and the event was created with his live.com address (and consequently was rejected).
So: the issue can be reproduced using my Google calendar account and any phone, or my phone and any calendar. But no phone should be leaking live.com addresses to Google.
Investigation continues. I'm now going to look for a way of reporting the problem to Microsoft..."
I fear that this may be bringing the issue back full circle to NoDo. We shall see.
Automatic?

erfansaberi,
So far as I am aware, i never had to do anything other than set up the account, to sync my Live Calendar across from Phone to Desktop to Cloud.
I use Outlook Connector with Outlook 2007. This syncs the Desktop.
To be honest i don't use web apps at all (other than Google where i have no choice at present) as I am invariably on a Mobile Data connection and at least Outlook only transfers the relevant data, and not all the gubbings required to render a web page, in a browser.
I also have this google thing problem... It is quite annoying.
Did anyone here try to delete the account and create an outlook account trick? Does it work? I guess it also removes the contact list, doesn't it?
Work around?
Not sure if someone has come up with a good work around yet, but this is annoying as heck! I actually lost some calendar events after creating events on the phone and syncing to google calendar. Darn you google!
Anyways, after playing around a bit, I think I've got something that works (for me anyways). I created a contact with my own google email address that I use with Google cal in it (it happens to not be an @gmail.com address). So this is pretty much my own contact card with my google cal email address. Now every single calendar event that I create, I have to go to "more details" and "add someone". I add myself under "required" and making sure to select the google cal email. Strangely, after syncing with google cal (manually or just wait a bit) it will show up in google cal.
The setback is that you'll get an email notification in gmail and all the events will have a little "?" next to it in google cal since you're supposed to confirm you're going or not to that event. But at least now we can backup our events to the cloud instead of losing every god dang thing if our phone goes to the crapper.
SOLVED (well sort of)

I have been having this issue for the last month and have found something that works for me:
On your Windows Phone do the following:
1. Open Settings
2. click email & accounts
3. click your google account
4. Under Content to synchronise make sure that Email is ticked (this was not ticked orginally for me).
5. Add a new event to you calandar
6. go back into Settings -> email & accounts and click and hold you Google account until the menu appears and select synchronise
7. you should now see your newley created calandar event in your google calandar web
]
This seems to work for me, I do not have to re-sync from the settings>email area either as it happens automatically.
