Thanks for the replys. I am now using the samsung native calendar. I opened the calendar, clicked on menu>settings>sync. it seems to be syncing briefly , but no data is transfered. when I go to the google calendar on my desktop pc there is no option to "sync". No data has been transfered. Why is there no option to sync? must be something wrong.
some background, a few days ago I downloaded a trial version of "companion link" sync software. I want to sync via "cloud" I've been struggling with it and then I found out about google cloud syncing and I don't have to pay $49.99. I prefere to use one that doesn't cost providing it will do the job. please give your opinions. if i must pay then fine, but at this point i'm not convinced that "companion link" is that reliable If google cloud will do the job as good, then it's a no brainer. Back to my origional question, I wonder why the samsung calendar won't sync with google calendar and "contacts, and then after that my goal would be to sync outlook calendar and contacts to my samsung phone. thanks as always.
