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 guys,
Looking on switching from WinMo to Android... Is there a way to sync Windows Live Contacts and Calendar in Android?
I would agree this is a noob question... But I didn't find conclusive information searching the forum.
Please... It's important for me since my main mail is @hotmail and all my contacts and calendar events are stored there...
Thanks!

Yes. I did both at one time (I'm using google exclusively for sync now). I think you can set it up either in Accounts, or set up the Exchange email service, and then in accounts you can set up the sync.
Guarantee you can do it, though. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I have to tell it not to sync my live.com contacts and calendar.
Tnx!
I will look some other "details" and will probably flash Enery Desire HD this week.

I have a nice brandnew Desire S, no custom rom (yet) and all original.
I'm experiencing a calender problem I can't find any info about on google.
I have both a google account with appointments, and an exchange account with appointments. When I make a new appointment in outlook, it get's replicated okay to my phone. A moment later the appointment also gets replicated to my google account, and therefore appears 2 times in my calender app (HTC).
Also when I make a new appointment in Google (on the phone or on PC does not matter) it first shows on the phone once, and later it seems to get replicated to my exchange account and it appears also in outlook and twice on my phone.
I dont want replication between the calenders, I just want to be able to look at both calenders.
Anyone an idea about what I am overlooking?
Thanks!

But that's not what I want. I want to be able to look into 2 (soon 3) separete calenders, without getting all appointments replicated to the other calenders...

We're you running any additional Sync software on your PC, HTC Sync or Google Calendar Sync?
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.
So I now love Android since getting an Android Gingerbread Tablet and Gingerbread phone... but the one thing I so far can NOT figure out how to do reliably and automatically is syncing my Outlook 2010 Contacts up to my Gmail account (which will then sync from Gmail to my android phone and tablet).
The only way I have been doing it right now is just export my Outlook contacts to a CSV.. then import the CSV into Gmail.. then Gmail syncs down to my phone.
Well this is not the 'automated' solution I am looking for. I have employees that update the Outlook 2010 contact information all day and then I never get the updates on my android phone when in the field. For me to do the CSV import thing every night is a real pain in the ass (my Outlook contact information changes daily btw).
I have a server that stays running all the time with Outlook 2010 installed... I do NOT use an Exchange server btw.. and I do NOT want to use exchange.. so that is out of the question. Basically I guess I am looking for some plugin or something into Outlook 2010 that can sync the 'CONTACTS' folder up with my specified G-mail account.. it would be great to also sync the outlook 'Calender' as well if possible.
and of course 2-way syncing would be ideal.. this way if I am in the field and I get a new contact.. I don't need to take the business card.. give it to my secretary.. who then puts into into Outlook... I would like to be able to the new or updated contact info right into my Android phone.. then it will sync up to Gmail... and then Gmail will sync it right back down into my Outlook system in the office... 2-way syncing automagically would be great!!!!
Thank you all very much for the tips!!! great forum!!!

you could use this
I previously used some Outlook connector but it was buggy and doesn't sync all info from. Same thing with CSV, not sure if all information is synced. If I recall correctly, there are some limitations on Google's side.
But if you have an Exchange account set-up on the phone, doesn't it intergrate all contacts? Why the need to have them in gmail if intergration takes place on your device?
I do NOT use exchange, and will NOT ever be using Exchange..

Sorry, Outlook for me is fully linked with Exchange... Assumption, the mother of all f#ckups
Right..
So but you must be using some kind of central email server that Outlook is connecting to when your secretarry is filing those businesscards.
MyPhoneExplorer?
CodeTwo Public Folders..

it works like an exchange server sorta.. really cool program... takes all the hassle out of setting up and managing an exchange server..
Google Apps Sync for Outlook should work fine for you. I used that and the migration tool when we migrated the company to Google Apps. It should let you specify what you want synced as well.
We did not use Exchange either.

It seems to work good, but has a lot more features than I need.
I have a Microsoft Exchange account that I use for calendar and contact (I don't use it for email). When I set this up as a corporate account syncing just doesn't work. It synced initially although some of the calendar events were missing. I ended up erasing contact and calendar storage data to start fresh and neither the calendar nor contacts will sync from the exchange account, even when I try to manually sync them or reboot the phone.
I'm using a new phone that came as a replacement for my original phone that died. On the first phone I had this issue on 4.4. On 4.4.2 it completely failed to autosync but would at least sync manually and on reboots.
But on my new phone on 4.4.2 it won't sync at all.
I'm wondering if it has issues with some versions of Exchange or if this is generally broken for everyone.
It's hard to believe Google hasn't bothered to fix Exchange support going on 4 months now...
I have access to my exchange data through Touchdown but it has it's own sync bugs which they are clearly not interested in fixing as I reported them repeatedly over the last couple of years and it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the phone.
Works fine for me. Is sync set to push?

Strange. Yes, I tried it on push initially then also every 5 minutes.
I did find when I created a new contact on the Nexus 5 then updated it in Outlook the update did sync back to the Nexus 5. I'm wondering if the account manager keeps track of what's been synced and only updates changes rather than checking for differences. In that case maybe by deleted my contacts and calendar data they become out of sync with the account manager and there's no way to restore the data except by deleting and recreating the account... I'll have to test that.
During the initial sync, though, I had 3 all day recurring appointments for tomorrow and only 2 of them showed up in the Nexus 5 Calendar. So something went wrong and the syncing is definitely not very robust to any issues that can occur.
I use my exchange calendar all the time with no issues... Updates both ways immediately.
Deleted and recreated the account. There's one recurring (yearly) appointment today which does not appear on the phone calendar no matter what I do (it does appear in Touchdown's calendar). Impossible to tell if that's a unique appointment not being synced or more likely there are others.
Added some test appointments and contacts in Outlook. They sync instantly to Touchdown. They do sync to the native apps but only if I manually force a sync through account settings. Otherwise they won't sync at all.
Changes I make on the phone's apps do sync immediately to the exchange server.
I'm surprised noone else is having these issues. Must not work well with some aspect of the server I'm using. But Touchdown doesn't seem to have this issue so I blame Google...
Mine works fine as well. I have two accounts set up. One on Exchange 2010 and one on Exchange 2013. Both account calendars, contacts, emails, tasks, and notes sync just fine. Could be the server that you're connecting to. Do you know the version? Are there any administrative restrictions or policies running? You can also check the Mobile Devices section in OWA and make sure you don't have too many in there. If you reach your limit of devices it won't let you set it up at all.

Chances are its your config.... if you're going to blame Google, you have to be willing to factory reset and do nothing other than set your exchange account up. Then you must work with your IT department to rule out your exchange config. Only then can you blame Google

I checked the OWA options and removed some old entries but I don't think that's the issue or I wouldn't be able to setup the account at all. I'm currently well under the limit.
Strangely, it seems to be working better now. There's still that one appointment that will never sync but after I enabled email syncing (which I don't actually need) it now does seem to sync updates in both directions automatically within a few minutes of any change. I've also noticed when I'm in the account settings to do a manual sync after quickly passing through contacts and calendars the syncing icon lingers on email even though it wasn't checked.
I'm wondering if there's a bug where updates are tried exclusively to email syncing. If anyone has some time, perhaps you could try deselecting email syncing but leave contacts and calendar and see if when you make a change it will automatically sync.
I've also sent an email to our server's admin to inquire if there's any known issue with kit kat and our server.
Our server version is: 14.2.318.2
Will the native client sync all past appointments or is there a hardcoded limit? I'm wondering if the failure to sync that one appointment, despite it being an annual recurring appointment, might be because it was created too far in the past.
As far as I'm aware, you need email syncing regularly for calendar to sync

Is that a requirement from Activesync or Google's implementation? I realize my use case is probably unusual but if you need email syncing for any syncing to work then the UI shouldn't allow you to uncheck it.
Under Touchdown I'm not syncing any email folders, but I don't know if it's still technically doing an email sync to 0 folders...
Anyway, if that's the source of the problem I don't have a problem enabling email sync.
I appreciate everyone's help!
I've not had chance to test it on kk, but certainly on aosp jb on my s3, I had to have email syncing. I preferred to set email to manual sync just for when I was afk, but even then no calendar updates. It had to syncs regularly to get updates
Nowadays its force of habit to.let it sync without notifications. Maybe i'll test next week
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
If it's corp email then have you made sure your exchange admin hasn't restricted connectivity to certain device types? Or that they have EAS policies around PIN/encryption that you haven't applied or aren't supported by your device?
Because EAS works fine on the N5. And EAS is MS's documented standard which is often very badly implemented by certain vendors (I'm looking at you, Apple)

I've problems with only some of my contacts. They initially syncing all fine from the server, but changes on some contacts on the phone won't be pushed back to the server.
I use an Office365 account with exchange 2013. And it seems to work with contacts that have no birthday entry, but not with the ones that have a birthday. Maybe this is not the cause. But the only difference.
I use CM11 nightlies on my N5, but had the same issues on N4 Stock / CM10 and N5 Stock.
Another problem is that I cannot enter debug mode any more with *#*#36245#*#*. Maybe some has an idea how to enable this.

As I mentioned above, after enabling email syncing I don't seem to have problems with syncing changes but I did notice several yearly recurring appointments will not show up in the Nexus 5 calendar app.
It's interesting that you mentioned an issue with contacts that have a birthday field as the appointments that are not showing up (at least the one's I've noticed so far) happen to be birthday reminders of contacts that have a birthday field. They have been edited but may have originally been created automatically from the contact birthday entry. In my case, the contacts with the birthday are showing up but not the related calendar entry. I haven't tried editing one of these contacts to see if there are any syncing issues. Perhaps I'll test that.
I wonder if there's a bug related to birthday appointment links?
I've noticed 2 other issues:
1. Despite having selected to sync all days only the last week of appointments sync to the Nexus 5. It's not quite clear if this setting is for email only or everything including calendar. I often find it useful to look up past appointments for reference of when I had a meeting or event but the calendar won't sync into the past and also won't search into the past using the server when online so there is no way to look up past appointments on the phone.
2. There appears to be a daylight savings time bug with recurring all day appointments. I've found that such appointments show up as 2 day events in the calendar on days past the daylight savings time change. When looking at one of these appointments they are scheduled from 11pm on the day they should appear to 11pm the following day. The shift of 1 hour back makes a certain amount of sense in terms of when the appointment should start relative to today's time (like a timezone shift) except while the hour gets shifted back 1 hour from midnight the day does not (if it were relative time it should start at 11pm the prior to the scheduled event not the day of). In any case, the display should be properly adjusted for daylight time so this doesn't happen. Also, recurring events that are not all day show up at the correct date and time and non-recurring events whether or not they are all day also show up correctly.
