Google is changing, not the same of a few years ago. If I had known what it actually means to own an Android device, I would not have bought one.

The fact that, having in front of me an Android and a laptop connected by USB cable, I am forced to send my sensitive data over the internet to Google and back to me, is:
-a waste of energy and bandwidth
-a useless complication
-an insult to the users
-a very serious threat

Does this work if you don’t use outlook for your gmail addresss?

In the years that we have been using Google services like Contacts across several phones and tablets there has not been security issues. There is always some risk with security involving digital content storage but in my opinion very low. In this digital age it’s hard not to have your personal data online somewhere, in some fashion.

Just by browsing our site, Google and other service providers know personal details about you; such as you Internet surfing habits. Apple and Microsoft do this as well with contacts storage. So it’s either trust these companies with your data or stick too using “the brick” phone or Startac throwback phones.

Wow.. it looks almost like Big Brother… Why in the world would I want all of my contacts and calendar out on the internet with Google? Who are they for me to “trust” them with my valuable information? Is this safe? What about security?

Question about Samsung Galaxy South 2 and outlook 2007 calendar sync. Is it possible to do a sync with outlook AND have the color coding for different events? How about if I use Google Calendar for syncing… Can I somehow get the color coding system that way?

Hi, I have been using ‘Blue SyncRoid’ to sync my contacts and calendars between Outlook and Android via Bluetooth. Used to forget my cable and unwilling to share my personal information (contacts and calendars) on the cloud to sync in info. Pretty satisfied with the solution. Simple and user friendly.

They also have a trial version launched. Highly recommended. Visit http://www.bluesyncroid.com for more details. Thumbs up!

When I right click on the Google sync icon, then click on ‘Sync’, I get an error message that is same thing I keep seeing in Outlook. It says the username and password do not match. It then says to enter full email address including @domain.com. The email address the message shows is the complete email address including @gmail.com.

How do I get rid of this error message and sync my Outlook calendar with my samsung galaxy phone?

Just got my first android phone! I use outlook on a MacBook pro – OS10. I am beginning to get the awful feeling that there is no way for me to sync that calendar with google/android. Say it ain’t so, because that’s a deal breaker (I actually think I would rather get rid of the Mac than the phone, but finances forbid me from doing so…) Any apps to do this or advice anyone can provide?

After two days of trying, I figured it out. The Droid calender tries to send the information to” MY CALENDER” choose an appointment, open it and change from my calendar to calendar. Now do a sync and shazam it works.

Good luck

Please add the option of which Google Calendar to sync to, or it’s own. This would be extremely beneficial – especially for those with several calendars.

Works great for me so far . Just installed it. I’m sure there is a few quirks with it but it is doing what I need it to do. Easy install and runs in background. Nice. 4 stars
