![]() I got excited when I read about SyncMate here, but then I wasn't sure it will work with PC's, i.e. GRRR!!! Sorry for the rant, I am excited to see how SyncMate behaves. Along with the sync, I wish Google would have an OVER WRITE option, to force all items from the calendar onto Google. Ideally, all data is entered on the wife's phone - no changes are made in Google - all data flows in one direction only - from the phone to Google, and it still gets messed up. I have not tried the Yahoo calendar, so I do not know what it's capabilities are. I have had this problem with the Palm desktop, MS Outlook, Google, and MobileMe. It got so screwed up, we went back to a paper calendar for a month until we got everything sorted out. One time I did that, and missed putting a whole bunch of appointments on Google, so when I did the fix, we lost a bunch of appointments, and double booked a lot of patients. The last time it happened, I had to put the phone next to the computer, update Google directly, delete Google from the phone, then reload the calendar back to the phone. Or sometimes an appointment time will be entered on the phone and it will NOT update on Google. Multiply that by 30 patients changing every few weeks, and everything gets messed up. Upon sync, Google either does not pick up the change, or there will be two of the same patient, with both appointment times. Then maybe on the third visit, they either change their appointment time, or cancel the appointment, "breaking" the repeat. What happens for us is a patient will be entered into the calendar with a repeat 6 visits. I have had this problem with the PC and TREO 755P and 755W, PC-HTC running Windows, PC - iphone, and now I am hoping Android will be able to handle the calendar. My wife is a psychologist, and it would really be convenient for her if she could keep the last seven years of patient's appointments on her phone.Ībout every 18 months the calendar gets so corrupted I have to start over. So, all you have to do is sync once a week and you've always got your entire up to date Google calendar available on your phone. This sounds obvious but Kies couldn't do that either it copied everything over creating duplicates. The other great thing is if you sync again in the same way it only adds the new entries. I still make all my entries into Google calendar and keep the second calendar hidden unless I need to check an entry older than 30 days. It still means you have two calendars running but at least you have access to your entire Google calendar. ![]() I then sync'd the iCal Google calendar back to the phone. You run the app on the phone after putting it into USB debug mode then plug it into the Mac/PC, then run the prog on the Mac/PC. Kies can't do this (and it was a joke with repeating some random entries 500 times), and Google calendar only directly syncs the previous 30 days of non-repeating events to the phone. Here's where it's really handy you can sync the entire Google calendar that's in iCal (I use a Mac) back out to the phone. The pro version will sync just about everything - iTunes music, pics, vids etc. The free version will only sync contacts and calendars (which is fine for me). It's an app for the phone and a pc/mac program. To cut a very long story short I used the free version of SyncMate. Google only allows it to sync the past 30 days of non-repeating entries, and there is no way around it (because Google aren't interested in fixing the problem that they've known about since early 2009).Īnyway, I've finally found a solution. I want my entire Google calendar on my phone (mine has 5 years worth of appointments and entries that I need to refer to regularly). I have posted in the S2 forum about not being able to sync more than 30 days of Google calendar to the phone, and was looking for a solution. I've just replaced my Galaxy S2 with a Note.
