HTC Calendar

---

Hi,

I'm currently impatiently awaiting the arrival of my HD2 from expansys. I'm just wondering about the calendar functionality. I've heard from a few places an HTC program is used instead of the default WinMo version. Is this capable of handling multiple google calendars? My wife and I like to share calendars to keep up on what's happening as life gets quite busy and this function on iPhone is very useful...

Thanks
David

Hi there,

The calendar is an interface for the built in ms app. It should not support google calendar at all.
However, my wife and i use exchange for that. Actually shared calendar was the reason she wanted exchange.

Hi Sproxy,

I thought the problem was with the activesync program in WinMo that stopped syncing multiple google calendars. I thought that because on the iPhone you can sync multiple google calendars through using the Exchange protocol but on WinMo you are limited to one calendar...

Does anyone know how you can get it working or if this might be a future feature?

if you can sync one google calendar, it would be enough because you just have to sync one calendar, which is your own. Your wife calendar events can be added under "add friends calendar" in google calendar.

I don't think thats quite what the original post was getting at.

With ActiveSync, you can sync a calendar, this will bring the main google calendar from your account, ie yours. It doesn't support multi calendars from google.

There is a program out there called OggSync http://oggsync.com/ which reports that it does support all calendars for WinMo.

I've not had chance to try it myself, but will be doing when my HD2 arrives.

1) It is possible to sync two Exchange Servers with your PPC. See http://tinyurl.com/yhuq7ap

Shortcut:
Change the registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\En ableNonLocalCrossPollination]
from (DWORD) 0 to (DWORD) 1

Use a registry editor like Pocket TotalCommander to edit the key.

2) Google offers to sync your calendar, contacts and mail via the ActiveSync Protocol. See http://tinyurl.com/dc4kq9

Shortcut:
Server: m.google.com (use SSL)
Username: yourusername@gmail.com (with the @gmail.com / @googlemail.com part!)
Password: IHopeYouHaveAGoodPW

I've never tested the solution I provide here, but this should theoretically work.

If you test it, some (including me) might be interested to hear your experiences.

Hi guys, nicelad_uk got more to what my intention was. I have looked and tested with the emulator and found that it's impossible to sync more than one google calendar through exchange. I was wondering whether if HTC had actually rewritten the calendar app and it would therefore support multiple google calendars.

I have tried the OggSync application with outlook and will try it out again when i get my HD2. My only problem is I didn't like that you couldn't add to other calendars (not your main calendar) from without outlook and I just wonder if it will be possible to do so from WinMo...

I really hope Microsoft sort out this stupid problem sometime soon it really is quite frustrating!

Thanks for the help,
David

It doesn't work. Or at least it didn't work for me when I tried. Reading the suggestions about this workaround carefully I came to the conclusion that it might work with ActiveSync connection to PC, but not Exchange over the air.

The bad news is that it's not a bug and therefore won't be fixed. It's by design and considered to be a "security" feature. This way your company thinks that their stuff won't end up somewhere on Google. I know it's stupid (and wrong), but I don't make decisions here.

BTW, it works the same on the iPhone and Android - only one Exchange connection allowed.

What we really need is native support for IMAP Idle really - there's no need whatsoever to use Exchange for personal mail.

Hi, I lookong for some solution (plugin) for Windows mobile 6,1 calendar to switch off or on the phone and another network services and the ringing profiles depending on calendar timepoints. I did not found solution for this problem, otherworlds I would like to integrate some scheduler to the calendar. Is it possible?
