It seems that it is not possible modifying an appointment created via outlook by the calendar app shipped with see pad.
Modifying any google appointment works fine, but the "change" option on appointment form doesn't appear if it is an appointment created on exchange by outlook.
Anyone has the same issue?
Thanks for any answer...

Following scenario: I have a Hotmail E-mail address which I have setup as ActiveSync on my Sensation. I obtain the calendar associated with that e-mail address on my phone and changes done on PC or phone sync well so far. Today I discovered that it is possible to create additional Live calendars and sahre them with other people (Didn't really use calendars before). So I went and created a calendar that I am now sharing with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear on the Sensation, not even the events I create in that calendar on my PC appear. Is there any way to get this thing going? I don't want to use Google calendar...
Hotmail only syncs one calendar over ActiveSync so far as I know.

That's what I discovered - No way to get around this limitation?
Actually, I have already found two possible solutions, which are not perfect but do the job. If anybody knows a better way, please let me know.
1. Get "TouchDown" from the Market. Trial for 30 days, full costs quite a lot. App looks ugly but allows you to sync the calendar somehow. It does not work very good, but I managed to get my events into the app-internal calendar.
2. For my specific scenario, this is a very elegant solution:
Step 1: Get yourself an extra hotmail address.
Step 2: Share the default calendar of that address with yourself (i.e. your normal email address) and your GF.
Step 3: Add the extra hotmail account to your phone, and choose to only sync the calendar.
Now you will see two ActiveSync calendars in your calendar, one for your main email and the other for the new account you created. On your PC, you don't need the other e-mail because you're sharing the calendar with yourself. Almost perfect so far.
I managed to configure my hotmail and google calendars to sync via the built-in email app on my Transformer... no problem; but there appears to be a limit in place in Exchange that prevents the sub-calendars from syncing. Is there a way around this? (I've seen indications that using Outlook as a middleman might work.)

I'm bumping this because I still haven't found a solution and I can't believe there isn't one. If you genuinely know there isn't a way to do this, that would be valuable to know as well, obviously.

I have the following problem: I am using S Planner to sync with the MS exchange calendar and some events are just not appearing in S Planner. These events do appear on my HTC phone to which I also synch the exchange calendar.
Does anybody have the same problem or an idea where this might be coming from?

Do you have it selected as one of the calendars S-Planner should display?
Same problem for me - but with tasks. I flag emails in Outlook for later follow up and they don't show up as tasks in the SPlanner. Any idea why?

Of course I have it selected to be displayed and synched. Most of the events I can see, but occasionally there are events that just don't show in S Planner, but they show on my HTC phone and computer. I tried creating events on all three devices and they synched to all others, so it must be an error that occasionally happens and then specific events won't be synched to S Planner. I even cloned an event on the PC that was previously not displayed in S Planner and the clone then showed up.
I'm still puzzled, more ideas?
Other threads on this
There is another thread on this. I found that I had to sync email (1 day will do) to get all calendar/tasks to also sync.

Well, I'm syncing everything, email (from beginning of time), contacts, tasks, calendar. I tried setting the sync time frame on calender from 3 months to "all" as well, but that didn't help.
Could you please post a link to the thread you mentioned?

I have a One X and all my Exchange info syncs identically on both devices. I'm on Exchange 2010. It's most likely a setting you have applied either in the stock e-mail client or on the Exchange server-side.

Well, it could be because we have exchange 2007, I think. But I don't understand why only some events don't sync and there is no pattern to them. Also, everything syncs fine to the phone and even to the TPT.
Have you considered throwing the kitchen sync?

I had that 2 weeks ago and it cleared up???
Now the issue is, if I get an email with a meeting invite (ics) attachment, download it, click on it, a window opens and there is an icon to calendar, click on it and a little pop box says 'Success'. All goes well but It never populates my cal or my exchange cal.
Dunno but its killing me...

Sorry, what's that or where do I find it?
Exactly the same here. Any idea? Someone mentioned a similar thread, but I cannot find it.
So the painful way for me to get my Note II and S Planner sync with Exchange working was to totally remove the exchange account (I use MobileIron) and delete the account from settings.
Then add/configure the account from scratch in MobileIron brought back all Exchange calendar entries and sync was fixed, I think its something locally on the phone that gets stuck and requires the account to be removed/re-added
Hi Folks,
i am comming from various HTC mobiles and now wanted to try an tablet.
After a few days of research I came to the Acer A700 and orderd me one.
First everything was fine - the I synced the tablet with Outlook 2010 using myPhoneExplorer. I do not want to use google for syncing. There is too many data in my contacts and calendar I do not want show up in whatsoever net.
Contacts working fine, the Calendar sync was also successful, but I found no way to display the contacs. I was alwas asked for a google account.
Does anyone here has an idea how I can get a sync calender working on this device? I tried pocket informant and the build in calender to test. I reset the tab and tried to create a new appointment - choosing a local calender - it was not possible. the question for a google account again.
Any other ideas? Otherwise the Tab will go back on monday.
Best Regards
Umqi
Not sure. I use the Touchdown app for all of my Exchange sync, because I didn't want ANY mixing of my work information with my personal. Works great.

Hi,
I tried it with my google account, but without syncing outlook to google no appointments are shown in the A700 Calender nor with any other calendar app. I think it will go back to amazon tomorrow.

Hello all I have been a long time XDA member and took a leave of absence due to MS not really tailoring to Windows Phone.
I just picked up a S8+ and it is a nice device but I am struggling a bit and remembered how hopeful this site is.
Is there a single email and calendar application that can handle all my email accounts (live, office 365, work exchange)?
In addition I seem to be missing a good bit of contacts as I have my primary live account and gmail account on the device.
I can tell you this is a nice device but coming from Windows phone setup is tedious I have to figure out my facebook contact sync and WhatsApp sync as well.
Any tips from a convert would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for all your help my new family
I have been away from xda for quite sometime because I had an iPhone, switching to this phone also was a bit painful but it turned out to be easier than I thought.
You have Gmail, I'm using it for my work email (Microsoft), Hotmail, Yahoo and my Google account. It's works very nice.
As for the missing contacts, you can go to settings and accounts and add any account you want, open it, and activate contact sync. Not sure if it can sync Facebook contacts. Or you can just try from the Facebook settings
Hi there,
im using Outlook for syncing mail and calendar. However using samsung calendar app you have everything synced and good to go. Also, you can sync your exchange/office365 to show your contacts in contact list.
What have I notcied, that Microsoft have much improved their apps on Android. Take a look at BlueMail as well - it syncs gmail and office and any other mail you need.
For Facebook i'm using Metal as I hate stock facebook app.

Yeah but the native Samsung Email and Calendar apps don't grab this information. In addition adding new contacts is such a pain as you have to do it directly in the outlook app instead of the default phone/contacts app. I have had this issue numerous times.
I hope they are able to fix this as I shouldn't have to migrate all my shared calendars to google from outlook.com to be able to work with them.
Great device but these items should just work and I think it may just be a Samsung issue I am working on getting another device to test.
As amon87 said BlueMail is the way.
