Looks like the Sense Calendar doesn't show some of my other calendars from my Google account. One is a shared calendar from my wife, and the other is an extra calendar I created within my google account. Any ideas?
I did not have this problem with stock Calendar on N1.
Do you have it set to show all calenders?
Yeah, but the missing calendars don't even show up as options
I would check the sharing and permissions in your Google account for the calendars you would like to see. Other than that, I really don't know.
more fun.
In hopes of "resetting" my calendar, I tried unsyncing my calendar from my gmail account... but my calendar on the phone STILL SYNCS with my gmail calendar.
WTF?
Now I'm not only annoyed about the crappy calendar, but worried about my inability to cut off syncing access.
Root can't get here fast enough for me.

this matters for sharing with other people. It shouldn't matter for sharing with myself...
Solved
Huh. looks like it's a bug with Android and not Sense.
I had the same thing happen with my Iconia. I finally figured out it happens when adding two google accounts to either device (which happen to share a calendar), and removing one.

Is there any solution to get synced with outlook/windows calendar and contact?
The focus is on google applications, so if you search for ways to sync them with google calendar etc it will sync that way.

Yes I understand even if, IMHO, they can't loose integration with M$ systems...
However I used google calendar sometimes ago trying to keep synced blackberry, nokia and outlook... it made me a lot of confusion because it duplicates calendar appointments and gave me also other problems...
Now I can give it a try again.
But, what to do to sync contacts?
I found Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook.
I'll give it a try..
If you have any other suggestion you're welcome

I tried.. it requires Google Apps Premier version.. unusable due to 40€/year subscription needed!!
So I need to find another way again.

try this: http://www.android-sync.com/
It works a lot like htc sync. It does contacts and single calendar entries. they're still working on recurring calendar events.
I'm still looking for a fully working solution.
I tried android-sync but I can't get it working. App hangs during sync and I can't have feedback about sync status.
Actually I can't believe there is no official way to get my device synced with my PC... how anyone can use the phone without contacts and calendars????
Do you think this is why froyo is not an official release?
I use gsyncit http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/ to sync outlook contacts and calendars with gmail then phone obviously syncs with the gmail server. Gsyncit works very well and is very customisable. At $15 one off cost it's a bargain in my book. (prob the first software I've actually bought)

Hi Diamond...
do you need to manually press the sync button or something to sync any changes you made in your outlook?
for wm6.5...when u change something in outlook...it auto sync with the phone
i am a bit hesitant to move to android due to this
thanks

Anyone has issues with syncing Google calendar to Captivate. One of my gmail calendars has multiple subcalendars, and none of them will sync to the Captivate calendar. The only way I check google calendar is set a bookmark shortcut to home page which is kind of frustrating since this is an android phone.
Pretty much what i have done in regards to syncing anything with google is to simply use the exchange feature and make all my accounts corporate.
My wife and I share a calander, so we have a shared google account set up as "corporate exchange" on my Galaxy and her iPhone.
I also have my own personal account for all my contacts setup as exchange and yet another account set up as exchange for photos I take for my business.
The sync seems to work better with exchange account setups as opposed to just email account settings.
The setup is a few extra steps, but quite easy.

Ok so I've bought LP but have a problem. It won't sync with my Googlemail account. Add the GMail widget, nada. Add the calendar, nada.
I have removed my Gmail app (root) in favour of the SE mail client, so maybe this has effect but surely the calendar should sync? I have my google mail account configured in Accounts & sync and it works fine elsewhere.
Anyone else run into this problem? There are lots of hits on a Google search, but no answers that I can find. I'll post to LP's board if no-one knows but figure the responses here will be better
My bad - it seems that you need to have the stock calendar sync'd to Googlemail & then LauncherPro feeds off it. I just didn't expect that cuz I had other 3rd party calendars that didn't depend on the same
Have one arriving today. I anticipate my wife and I both will use it. Basing it in the kitchen.
Anyone know of a reasonable way for it to handle email for both the wife and myself? I'm sure we could access Gmail via the Browser, but just wondering if there is a client. Then of course I expect there to be a login / logout for each of us if it is even possible.
You could configure the Gmail app for one mailbox, and the normal Android mail app for another. They are both accessible by different icons
Gmail can monitor multiple accounts but it doesnt really do what you want to do to separate them.
This is one of my biggest beefs with tablets at the moment, there arent multiple logins. Its assumed that everyone is going to have their own personal tablet with their own bookmarks and such like a phone when it isnt the case. Hopefully Google is quick to recognize this and allow multiple accounts to access the device like a Windows machine.
I'm not sure how it is on honeycomb since the gmail app is newer than the one on the market, but on my phone running gingerbread, adding a second google account creates a separate section in the gmail app so that both accounts have unique folders rather than combining them.
You could of course add one through gmail and another through the stock email app, or access one via the browser.
Gmail will handle two accounts just fine. As long as neither of you have problems with the other having access to your account. In the upper right corner of the gmail app you'll have hte ability to switch between mutliple gmail, or google app accounts. The calendar apps will show all calendars in different colors as well and let you filter out only events from certain accounts if you'd like. Same with contacts.
If all you care about is gmail you just un check everything else in the account sync options and you will easily have your two accounts to access.
The android mail app works quite fine with gmail and push messaging as long as its set up for an exchange account and not gmail which seems counter intuitive but works great
You can also put widgets on the homescreen specific to each account.
This is great information. Many thanks!
The ASUS arrived about 15 minutes ago. Charging it now.
I'll experiment with the various thoughts, and post back how I ended up doing it and how it is working out.

I wouldn't use the Default Mail app for Gmail. You're better off using the actual GMail app.
I added my wife's account to the Gmail app, and it works great.
IMO, Default email app for gmail is crap compared to the gmail app itself.

Why not? Works great for me and I prefer it. I'm not sure why I'm better off as it acts pretty much exactly the same, and it lists my inbox subfolders better than the gmail app for me.
Dear all...
I really need an hand..
I have a samsung omnia w and I would like to add to my calendar the other calendar I had on my google account.
So I go to m.google.com, I put the tick on the 3 calendars I have "Birthdays", "Weather" and another one...Well now I can see them in the Settings on my wp, but if I go in settings, email and account, I see that google account can't sync!!!..
I have an error...like 8600050C...
I have this error only If I put a tick on "Birthday and Events Contact"...with the other 2 calendars there is no problem..
Why!??!??!?
Please help me!!
Thanks
same problem here, really annoying!!!
Add another one with this problem.
same problem here on lumia 710.
birthdays were syncing until yesterday just fine and stopped approx 18 hrs ago. no google content (contacts, emails, calendars...etc) would sync today until i disabled the birthday calendar. hopefully there will be a timely resolution...because i don't find the workaround to disable the birthdays a long term solution.
It looks like whatever the issue was, it is now fixed. Once again the birthday calendar syncs without problems.
