Google Calendar Android (on my smart phone) and Google Calendar PC (my computer) DONT sync ? HELP

Options
Hi all,

hope you are doing good ?

It will be so so nice if anyone of you professionals/experienced people can help me. My problem is that my google calendar on my smart phone DOES NOT SYNC WITH MY PC  calander ........?

Details : I have been using windows 10 and my smart phone is Xiaomi MI MAX 2, 6.4" screen, android 8,  MIUI ver. 11.1. 

I have looked around google.com, searched everywhere, youtube videos etc without any luck. I have left no stone unturned. I did whay thay said etc but still no luck. My important events notes i make on my smart phone but i do make some events on my PC.

Important : I have about 6-7 email accounts added to my smart phone and all are ticked as i do not know which is the most updated one as i do not want to lose the historical events. BUT my pc has only 1-2 email addresses. On my PC I dont even see any export/import data option in my pc.

I just want both the calendars to sync data, the smart phone and my pc.

Google tells me to uninstall the current google calendar app on my phone & re-install it.......Hey presto !...It should work then but......nahhhhhh. i can do that easily but what if i will lose my current and past & future appointments. ?

Any solution to this please ?
I thank you and and kind regards.

    All I can say is that you need to log into the Google account on you PC that you use for the calendar on your phone. If you are not sure which one it is then simply untick them all on the phone calendar and try them one by one and see which one brings up the events that you want to see on the PC.

    Another thing to consider is that many phones use their own calendar by default, e.g. if it’s a Samsung it will default to the Samsung one which will only be on the phone. I use my main Gmail account for my calendar and use that yo log into the calendar app on my computer, and that works fine.

    just add Outlook to your android phone and it comes with calendar built in.,i use this on my Android tablet and it syncs with laptop.
  • It seems like another good idea but willl outlook sync with google calendar  ??????

  • @mobileron

    hi again,

    do you mean OUTLOOK MAIL OR OUTLOOK CALANDER  ?....which will allow me to sync with Google calendars ?????....as i have about 6 gmail  + 3 yahoo.com + 1 hotmail.com accounts ?....though my MOST IMPORTANT ONES ARE GOOGLE CALANDERS, i mean my everything is google, calendars, photos, Drive, keep notes....etc etc 

    MANY THANKS and kind regards

  • Any decent mail app should sync with Google calendar, but I don't know about Outlook as I don't use it (I think it does though, as I think I may have tried it at one time in the past). The Outlook CALENDAR, however, is a calendar separate from other calendars such as Google etc so if you want to use Google then using the Outlook calendar would not work with that.
