I have been trying to find a suitable app that can display Tasks from the stock Android calendar.
I run Thunderbird on my PC and have Owncloud hosted on a server. Both of these have a 'To Do List' (task) facility and they sync perfectly.
I also sync the calendar in Owncloud with the calendar in my Android devices (Phone and Tablet) but have as yet had no success in finding any way to display the Tasks (which I assume are syncing too - but just invisible)
Has anyone any suggestions (or comments) for this facility.
TIA

As per title anyone aware of a way to link google calendar to your ppc,
either pocketbrezze or your standard pim etc

I have seen readers, but these do not sync with the internal calendar, which I assume you want to do (as I do too).
I am really surprised there is no simple way to sync an ical profile with either Outlook or Pocket Outlook.
I know you can sync with a public profile on your desktop, but I doubt everyone wants to make their calendars public, and still doesn't help for people on the move.
An alternative would be to stop using Google Calendar for now until more solutions are available, and set-up a Live Mail2Web account, and simply use their Outlook Web Access for your calendar needs, and put the sync profile in your Activesync.

It's the only good all round solution to online contacts backup, calendar sync, and push mail, and all from one provider, and free of charge too.
Nice one mate ill look into that :wink:
Remote Calendars
I've been using an open source program called Remote Calendars.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars/
it synchs your google calendar to outlook which can then be synched to your PPC.
you can also synch the other way (i.e. put something in your PPC and have it transferred to Google)
it's not a perfect system but it's the best i've found
Am I right in thinking you still have to make your calendar public for this application to work though?
No google calendars have two addresses:
a public one - which you can disable and
a private one - which you should never give to anyone else or publish anywhere
you can get your private address from the Calendar Details page of the settings menu. this is what you use for Remote Calendars
so your calendar is still private (or shared with family & friends etc)
woohhhoooooooo :lol:
Google Calendar Sync
This only works for main calendar:
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.

Hello!
I've been struggling in order to get some effective way of synchronizing my calendar and tasks between palmtop, laptop and computer. I don't use outlook at all so Microsoft Exchange was rejected at the very beginning.
Later on I thought about Google Calendar but it does not include tasks.
Finally I decided to create an account on server which would host my calendar. It is in the iCalendar format -> *.ics. I can easily synchronize with it on my laptop and PC as the calendar is modified directly online from Mozilla Sunbird (both computers have always access to the Internet). I like this idea.
Now the time came to get my palmtop (HTC Touch Cruise) synchronize with this server. The problem is that I will not be able to keep it online all the time so I would like to have some really intelligent option enabling me to synchronize my calendar and tasks. Any suggestions highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Theriel
Not the Mac iCal format, but web calendars (iCalendar) support. A lot or organizations are using iCalendar to allow people to subscribe to calendar and event updates, Outlook supports this but its added as an additional calendar and does not sync to my windows mobile device. Is there any way/app to add iCalendar support to Windows Mobile?
>> UPDATE see below <<
Solved! through a combination of Gmail (which I use to subscribe to my multiple iCalendar appointments) and the free version of Nuevasync.com, which allows my WinMo 6.5 device to synchronize with all my Gmail calendars. Nb. Tried Google sync, but it only supports synchronisation with the main Google calendar and also OggSync v4 but I had issues with a time zone bug (despite installing the update) which caused all my appointments to be at incorrect times. Nb2. This is by no means ideal, but tell WinMo-7 comes out similar hacks are our only options.
>> UPDATE-2 see below <<
Found a better solution to synchronise Google calendar with my Windows Mobile device without using Microsoft Exchange, the programs called "Inesoft Calendar 2" and supports direct synchronisation with multiple Google calendars without messing up the built in calendar.
Hope this helps others, and maybe MS will fix this eventually..
Since I got my new ATRIX, I tried to get my calenders from Thunderbird (Ubuntu) working on my Android smartphone.
- Up to now I could not find any working solution for me. Even applications for Windows (running in a virtual machine) I tried. -
Please Help !
What I want to do ? Sounds very easy and probably the solution is the same for Linux, Windoz and Macintoy.
-> I have several calenders (private, office, visitors, ...) local (!) on my computer saved as ics files.
An example : file:///media/daten/.../Email/lightning/calendar/Privat.ics
These calendars I want to copy on my smartphone and to use them (import ?) in an calendar application. I do not want to use any cloud, google calender construction. Just copy (may be convert) and use. Even synchronisation is not necessary, because the changes mainly I do on my notebook. As I said sounds easy, but it seemed not to be easy.
I have no idea how the other Thunderbird users manage to use their local calendars on the smartphone. Or am I the last "not-cloud" user ;-)
I use the plugin "Zindus" to sync my adress book from thunderbird.
To sync the calendars, i have them setup on google and connect to them from thunderbird.
So you could import your calender .ics files into google kalendar, which will be synced to your device and to which you can connect TB also.
I use this...

I have my Samsung Focus S set to sync calendar appointments from my Google calendar ONLY (all my other calendars on the phone that can be turned on or off, i.e. Windows Live Calendar, Windows Live Birthday Calendar, Windows Live US Holidays, etc, are turned OFF), yet I have SOME appointments or events that appear on my Google calendar that just do NOT sync to my phone! Most do, but there are appointments on my Google calendar that just will not show-up on my WP calendar. Specifically, I have an event that I created in Outlook (I use Google calendar sync to copy all my Outlook appointments to my Google calendar, via a one-way Outlook to Google calendar sync) on December 26th, 2011, and it just will NOT show-up on the calendar on my phone! I recreated it in Outlook (it then showed-up twice on 12/26 in my Google calendar), and I actually created it in my Google calendar, without it being synced from Outlook, and it STILL won't show-up on the phone's calendar. I created it on my phone, and it duplicated itself on my Google calendar (showed-up as a seperate event from the original)!
Why won't certain appointments/events show-up in my phone's calendar when they are clearly showing-up in my Google calendar?!! As I said, MOST appointments/events from my Google calendar show-up in my phone's calendar, but not all.
Anybody have this issue, or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Dennis
having same problem driving me nuts
I have read and read can't find a fix
workaround/fix
I found a way to enable this, I had to go to m.google.com/sync to enable it. But the kicker is our phones aren't able to access the page needed. I had to use my fiance iphone and login and enable the calendar. So going forward you have to use another mobile device.
You don't have to use a mobile device at all; just spoof your User-Agent string in your browser. Google web-programming fail (you'd think they wouldn't suck at that...).

O.K., this might be a stupid question, but what does "spoof your User-Agent string in your browser" mean?
Dennis
I think he means the workaround, where you use (for example) the safari browser on a desktop pc, configure it to identify itself as the iphone's browser and then go to m.google.com/sync to setup the syncing of multiple calendars.
This was necessary, because it was not possible to do this with the internet explorer on your windows phone. Yet as far as I know, this is workaround is no longer necessary.
User-agent: Any user-driven client of a network server (so, for example, a web browser).
User-agent string (UAS): A bit of text that identifies the user-agent to the server. Theoretically allows distinguishing between browsers easily.
Spoof the user-agent string: Configure the browser to send a different user-agent string than normal. All major browsers can do this now, as far as I know. On WP7, there are only two user-agent string possible with the built-in browser, though - the default "mobile" one and the "desktop" one (the latter being very similar to the UAS of IE9 on the PC).
If you send the UAS of mobile Safari, Google will give you access to the features (such as multiple calendars) that it offers to iOS users.
