Google Calendar sync

[peterch]

hi - i have a Motorola Q phone from Verizon. I use Google Calendar.

I'm looking for some software that runs on the phone that will sync my Google Calendar with the calendar program on the Motorola Q phone. Thanks in advance.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I think what you would have to do is sync the Google calendar into Outlook in your PC, then use active sync to sync the Q to Outlook.

I demo'd a piece of software that did a pretty good job. When iget back to the office (and off the Q) i'll post the link. Should be able to find it with a quick web search.

Goosync works well - www.goosync.com. Free if you don't need multiple calendar support. Synchronizing wirelessly is a lot better than using Outlook and activesync as the beauty of google calendar is that it's accessable from anywhere

If you want something that actually runs and does all the sync on your Mobile, then take a look at OggSync. It syncs Google calendar directly, no other server involved and active sync is not required. You only need active sync it you want to sync your Outlook calendar to you mobile also.

Here is what the FREE version does:

• Full 2 way sync from your phone to one of your Google calendars
• Supports Google Hosted Domains
• No 3rd party involvement, keep things simple with just your phone and Google Calendar.
• Full support for repeating events, and changes to those repeating events
• Uses over the air or cradled connections so you can always be up to date
• Compatible with Outlook and ActiveSync
• Auto notification/download when new versions are available.

The Pro version adds:

• Multiple calendar sync - Sync any number of Google public and private calendars
• Automatic Synchronization! Let OggSync keep your phone and Google in sync in the background.
• Default Calendar Mapping: Optionally have events with no matching Google Calendar category get put in your default Google Calendar
• And of course, existing subscribers get automatic full upgrade to OggSync Pro, thank you for your patronage!

Give it a try,

Cecilia,

Please let us know exactly what oggsync does that goosync doesn't. Goosync has been working great for me. They had some issues with recurring events but those have been resolved.

Hi 90c4,

Basically, Oggsync runs/syncs on your Mobile device and talks directly to your Google or Outlook Calendars. It does not go through a separate server, managing credentials and all, as I believe this is how GooSync works. If GooSync works great for you, stick with it...The original poster clearly requested a solution that would run on the Q. ....Clearer?

Regards,

Cecilia

I registered for a GooSync account, but I can't figure out how sync it with my device! I assume there's a file I'm supposed to download, but I searched the webpage and can't find it. Nothing helpful on their "help" page.

[90c4]

yes, you need to install a file. IIRC, it's on the screen in which you select your device type. i had toruble finding it before too and had to go back and reselect my device.
