I’ve been able (using MfM) to connect my N8 to my Google calendar.

Making / editing an entry on my Google calendar syncs (at the next sync) fine with my N8 calendar.

However, making an edit on my N8 calendar is NOT synced back to my Google calendar.

Seems it’s a one-way thing, has anyone been able to sync their Google calendar *FROM* their N8 calendar ?

Thanks.

I’ve sent a email to nokia about the N8 calendar problem, I use googasync on my N86 so put that on my N8 when I got it and that also (just like mail for exchange doing a sync) changes all day events in the calendar to 12am to 12am entries and sometimes now go over 2 days instead of the original 1 all day event… ie someone’s birthday…

I’ve gone back to my N86 as I use my calendar for business appointments and other stuff and when I do a sync with either MFE or googasync calendar entries go wrong… not good…

certainly not good for a £400 phone!

The Google Sync works just fine on my N97 now. Contacts, Calendar and Realtime Gmail. Push mail at that….

ovi sync is manual sync, while google sync does it automatically in the background.

Mfe worked out of the box on the N97. Just selected Echange account instead or POP3/IMAP then enter the rest of the info.

I had tried syncing wid Google but found it problematic…bcoz of that (i guess) each no. has been synced twice….under each contact I have 2 entries of the same no.!! Thus have stopped using it. Also several email addresses are un-named in my Gmail address book. That is a hassle as so many unnamed contacts slow the phone down.

i use OVI Sync. Got all my contacts there with profile photos, phone numbers, email addresses and my calendar all ready.

Just whack in my SIM, setup the details and within a few minutes all my information is downloaded. Then when i finish reviewing the phone make sure any changes are uploaded ready for the next phone.

Great feature i love it

This seems to be a beneficial collaboration between Nokia and Google. The users will be happy with the Google Sync.

It appears the latest Mfe does not work with Google. When you try to create the profile, it fails to do so reporting a system error and NOT saving the profile (so you can't even edit it).

i have been syncing contacts on my e71 since it was first introduced. It's been working quite well and i intend to keep on using it.

now that it officially supports calendar i may give it a try over the weekend. lack of multiple calendar support is disappointing but shouldn't be a huge factor

I work for a large FMCG Company and I do use the Nokia tools with Microsoft Exchange in our company – works flawlessly!
Contacts synch with Pictures,
Out of Office settings are controlled via the phone and many more -

I set it up on two Nokia phones (mine and my friend's) already and it works like a charm. I didn't sync Contacts yet – just the Calendar. My friend is in better position than me, because he doesn't use multiple calendars, so no problems with syncing for him. As for me – things you've already mentioned in the post are irritating: all-day events and lack of multiple calendar support. And I'm really looking forward to Google Tasks support on my device.

on my E71, it only synced contacts with a company AND a title, which was only 4 contacts out of my 100. Even after adding company AND title and taking away some, it still only synced those 4. And it didn't sync any new calendar entries. I re-checked all of the settings and options, but still nothing. All my contacts and calendars are still on google though.

I currently only have those 4 contacts and would like to sync from ovi, but don't want anything to get erased or duplicated.
