calendars

Well I'm not sure so we will have to discover.

First Chrome is a browser which happens to be Google's browser but it has little to do with calendar or syncing (except the things it sync's like history, bookmarks, passwords etc.)

Where we want to be is inside our gmaill account. You can sign in with chrome browser. Once you are signed into gmail and look at calendars they have to be the same if it is the same gmail account. The browser is just the tool you are using to access gmail.

Now your phone has an app for the calendar and in most Android deliveries it has a 31 on face of app. Now vendors customize the you know what out Android but you should still see the 31. Once you found the 31 on phone open it and ensure your gmail account is set to display. On desktop open Chrome, sign into gmail and go to calendar. Enter something and give it a few minutes to display in the calendar app on phone.

Please let me know how this goes.

On chrome, yes you sign in. If you click on three dots, upper right on desktop, click on settings, the first thing that opens is the name signed in and the ability to see what is being synced. (History, apps, bookmarks). On Android there is also a way to open settings in chrome to see who is signed in (must be the same as desktop) and some abilities to control syncing, if I recall. Again, this isn't about contacts or calendar syncing, it's browser syncing.

When you are in your calendar, the 31 app, can you get to the point where you select which calendar to display. I think top left is three bars, then settings?

Can you see your gmail account as an account to display?

If not you have to add and set to display.

I am trying to follow what you say; I think the calendar choice is not right.
I cannot do much in the PC but on the phone I can see calendars.
There seems to be my Gmail address, my Outlook address and most importantly "MY" calendar. When I uncheck that, no entries show up n the phone no matter which other ones I check or uncheck.

I did say"create" an event and could see three calendars at the top>I selected my email address not the "My" calendar but this still did not solve he computer visibility.

@ admin I found a way to remove the address I thank and thank you.

We are getting closer. You don't want My calendar, at least I don't think you do. Likely that has been the default so that is what is populated, you can deall with that later.

Set the phone to only show gmail calendar and place an entry either into phone or computer and see if it syncs. I have my fingers crossed.

Honestly Android has to figure how to make this simply.

So not really following. I suspect the calendar the phone calls My Calendar is the default phone calendar. When you enter stuff in it it stays just on phone. Since it is likely set as default then it is populated when you enter an item.

The real test is when you click (enable) the gmail calendar. Now when entering items if My Calendar is still checked, and its your default, then the entry goes there. To avoid this I had suggested unchecking My Calendar so you know it is going into gmail's calendar. Then force a sync. Also check to ensure calendar app is allowed to use cellular data and if the capability exists, allow app to run in background.

Your entries are not disappearing. They are not being displayed. You can come back to those later. Please.

Is your gmail account listed as a calendar you can select, so select it. Once selected enter something in. Most phones sync at a minimum every fifteen minutes.

When fifteen minutes is up check you gmail calendar on computer. Is the entry there?
