One way Samsung Calendar Sync Issue

littleneil — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 10:01:21 GMT

MS Outlook (including a calendar) is on my Win 11 PC. Samsung Calendar 12.5.02.1 is on my S23 mobile. An Outlook calendar entry entered on my PC sync's perfectly with my Samsung mobile calendar. But conversely, an entry made on my Samsung calendar App DOES NOT sync with my Outlook calendar.?

it never syncs, or it doesn't sync immediately?

never.

And for what it's worth, the phone also has the outlook app installed with calendar. Calendar entries there DO sync to my PC. The only hangup is from the Samsung calendar to my PC's outlook calendar.

are you referring to the Outlook desktop app on your PC, or do you use Outlook on the web. I'm not having the same problems as you are.

make sure that when you're making calendar entries on the Samsung app, you're saving them in the Outlook calendar and not Google, Phone, Samsung Account. all of those are toggled on by default. I made that mistake before.

on my PC I use the new Outlook APP purchased from the MS store. I do not use the web version.

I'm not sure about where the entry saves to or how that is set up. I press the save button and the entry shows up in the samsung calendar. That's all I know for sure.

open Samsung Calendar > tap on hamburger menu top left > tap on settings (gear icon) > manage calendars

familiarize yourself and you might find your issue

You are correct. There are two old Gmail addresses shown. I know I need to add an account (Microsoft, Outlook, Exchange or what ever but don't know how to do it?

next screen says"this email address is already connected with outlook. Do you want to connect it again with another service"?

above, you said that you can make a calendar entry on your PC and it syncs to your Samsung Calendar app. go into the app, go into settings, and toggle off all calendars except for your Outlook.

my suspicion is that when you've been making entries on your phone, you haven't noticed which account you're making them to.

So...I must confess that my discussion has been about my wife's S23. However my S8 has a similar setup - but it doesn't matter to me. Wife's S28 has two Gmail addresses (accounts) shown in her Samsung calendar ...so that's where her calendar entries are saving. I have one Gmail address in my Samsung calendar. but I only view my Gmail calendar on my phone.

All I need to do is figure out how to add my wife's MS account in the Samsung calendar "manage calendars".?

refer to my post directly above. whether it's your wife's or yours is immaterial. you stated that when trying to add the address, you got the notification that it was already present. that tells me it's already in the Samsung Calendar app. that calendar toggle will appear at the very bottom of the list of calendars. also, it might be manifesting as an Exchange account (Microsoft Exchange Active Sync).

Samsung Calendar > hamburger menu (top left) > scroll all the way down to the bottom > tap on Outlook and make sure that Calendar is on.

another place to look: settings (phone) > accounts and backup > manage accounts > look to confirm that her account is already on the phone.

and now you have your answer. EAS is Exchange Active Sync. in other words, Microsoft.

and here is a pix of her manage accounts screen.

obviously, the account she wants to populate in Samsung Calendar is there. she's going to have to be careful, when making a calendar entry from her phone, to select the correct calendar. her device is set up properly.

"when making a calendar entry from her phone, select the correct calendar". After opening the Samsung Calendar App . then what? Tap on the menu and select_______?Also I didn't understand your earlier comment about EAS. I'm not sure why it cleared up my problem - with you anyway?

when your wife goes to make a calendar entry, tap on the highlighted section (see pic). it will open a pop-up which will allow her to select the appropriate calendar.
