[Q] Exchange with Google Calendar - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am having issues with my Exchange work calendar and the Google Calendar app. I had just switched to using the Google Calendar app to test it out. I can add an event on the Google Calendar app for my Exchange account just fine. But when I get into Outlook on my computer and check my calendar it acts like that event was added by someone else and I was invited to it. Has anyone else had this issue? I didn't have this issue with the default Samsung calendar app on the phone.

I had issues with Google calendar app syncing to my exchange as well. I finally just gave up and went back to the Samsung calendar

Anyone figure a way to back up phone calendar to google calendar?

I was able to set my friends phone to use the gmail calendar for all new appointments, but all previous ones are set to pc sync. Is there a way to back those up to the gmail calendar. I've googled for days and only read post with people with same problem and no solution although they were a year old. Hoping it was solved somewhere. Thanks in advance.
If you just want to save your call logs then I recommend SMS Backup+ its free and will sync your txt,mms & call logs to your Gmail and is easy to set up

Hey there, I don't have my pc sync checked. I only have gmail sync checked. It sync all my phone contacts and calendar events with my phone and vice versa. Hope this helps.

Outlook Exchange Calender events missing in S Planner

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

Calendar Reminder Syncing...

I am having an issue with reminder syncing when it comes to calendar. I have narrowed down where the probable issue is and I think it is from the browser to the phone. I downloaded 2 other calendar apps and the reminders are syncing between the apps but they are still not syncing to the browser. It is not syncing also, when the events are created on the browser and refreshed on the apps. Any one have a fix for this?

So I am not sure if maybe using another calendar app fixed it, but it is fixed. The reminders are syncing now. I did remove cache/data for the Calendar app & Calendar Storage app before I tried another app.
But all is good.

Ok another update, it seems the issue is my shared calendar. I am sharing my work Google calendar to my person Google calendar and it seems that there is an issue with calendar reminders syncing across shared calendars. I am going to keep working on this.

Questions from a longtime XDA Member recently converting to Galaxy S8+

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.

Gmail alterative

Ive been having issues for a very long time with Gmail and unfortunately any new update does not fix this. I use Gmail for multiple accounts and when i delete or try to move things into folders they keep appearing and i have to do it several times or log into a computer to get it to work.
I've tried several email apps, I need an app that will sync my outlook calendar to google calendar app and will work with exchange and other email platforms. I used to use aquamail, but it was bought by a cheetah mobile type of company. I hate Gmail, but it is the only app I have found that can do what I described above, have everything streamlined. Just the deleting and moving of emails is not reliable.
Any suggestions ?
Try Nine Mail
Second that for Nine Mail... I used it for my outlook client until my company started using VMware Boxer. Miss Nine mail a lot.

I use Newton (Old name Cloud Magic) its pretty pricy but i love how it is compatible with literally all OS's, Android, iOS, Windows 10 and OSX.
I have used "TypeApp" for years....love it. Would use default gmail if...but i hate white theme. Gotta use app that has dark theme.
Tried nine, works good for microsoft, but does not run other email clients.
Will try others....ugh......stuck with Gmail. I don't know of an easy to get ahold of google to submit feedback for them to fix.
I've tried a few others which everything works well, but does not sync my microsoft outlook calendar to google calendar. I need the calendar though.
Why is Aquamail a problem for you?

Aquamail does not work for my exchange anymore. They changed something since I last used it, I'm not sure how they verify microsoft outlook, but i cannot register my outlook emails anymore. It used to work perfectly in Dec 2016 with my calendar but not anymore.
Just reluctantly using gmail right now.

My company email is based on gmail (business gmail) It works great with Nine. Nine cannot sync with general email because Google made some policy change back in 2013.

Doesn't Exchange support require a Pro key?

Specifically, they removed ActiveSync support from general accounts. It's still available for G Suite accounts though.

Not sure but I have the pro key. Maybe this weekend I'll try it one more time. Everything works except outlook. It has a lot of features as well.
It got bought by mobisystems awhile back. Make me wonder what changes they made. Are they shady like Cheetah mobile?
Try k9 mail. Open source and free.
