calendar and recurring appointments

[sndeh]

Does anyone know of a good calendar app or widget that will let you set up an every other week recurring appointment? i have not been able to figure out how to do that in the calendar app that comes with the inc.

Well, my Incredible hasn't shipped yet so I can't speak to that, but you can do this on Google Calendar. That should sync down to your device.

This is correct. If you use Google.com/Calendar to handle your calendar, you can do this. It will then sync down to your account.

And, just to add one more thing to those above, you can always create as an every week repeat on the phone, and then edit the repeat pattern on Google Calendar from a desktop browser, if you need to book when you have your phone with you only.

I had the same problem at first and I didn't realize the Google calendar synced to the phone. (Never used Google or Android Pre-Incredible)

It's odd they wouldn't allow you to make this type of repeat schedule directly on the phone...

i don't use google calendar and was hoping that i cold just use the inc. standalone. maybe there is another option

Same question....

I too haven't been able to find a way to set a bi-monthly (every other week) appointment. I don't use Google calendar and don't plan on it since I use Outlook and sync with my Inc. I've been trying to find a solution to this too but haven't come up with anything yet.

Anybody else have a work around?

I use outlook to and sync it with google calendar just so it will be synced with my inc. All you will need to do is download google sync for outlook here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync and set it up. Then you will be able to add appointments to outlook and they will be synced to your phone with plugging your phone to your computer.

I hope I'm not being a complete idiot here but I'm feeling like I'm missing something. I'm not using a gmail account for my calendar -- I'm using my company's Outlook Exchange server and trying to sync my work related calendar. I'm not trying to sync my calendar with my Google account. Wouldn't using the Google Calendar Sync only work if I were accessing my Google email account through Outlook?

It's been a long hard weekend so there's a good chance I'm brain dead but help me get a handle on this.

Your right for some reason when reading your post I read something different. I use outlook on my laptop and have google sync too, so when I add an appointment on outlook it will be synced with my google calendar on my laptop and then goes to my phone.
