I just got my wife an d2, and Im trying to get her calendar up and running. I cant get the thing to sync. Under he gmail account it has contacts and gmail but the calendar option isnt even there to sync. What do I have to do here?
What are you trying to sync to? If it's just the gmail calendar to your phone, that should happen automatically (although there may be a setting to turn that off besides Airplane Mode--not sure). If you're trying to sync to Outlook you need a third-party software. I use a free product called O2G, which works well, but requires a manual sync, which I actually prefer.
You can automatically or manually synchronize Outlook (or Windows Live Mail) email, contacts, and calendar with your Android device, as long as you have a Hotmail, MSN Mail, or Live email account. Just add it to the standard Android email app. Instructions are here. No special app is needed.
Any contact or calendar items will have to be on your Hotmail/MSN/Live account and will not be synchronized with Gmail (which is arguably a good thing) or be searchable with Google Voice Search (which is not a good thing since it works better than the built in voice dialer) but you can still use those contacts to make phone calls, send emails (from whatever account you choose), navigate, etc.
One caveat is that is that you need to keep your Outlook contacts and calendar events on a Hotmail/MSN/Live account in Outlook. Also, subfolders for email are allowed, but subfolders for Calendar and Contacts are not.
