Sync Blackberry w/ Google Calendar - GCALSYNC

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
Shame I am on BES. Would have loved to test it. Perhaps it should come with the option of a separate bb app so as not to mix with the existing bb cal. Just a thought

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~I tried it too but ended up deleting it too. Too many problems!

Any word on a possible "fix" for the tunneling problem? I am on TMobile in the US and will un-install it until something is done about that (sigh).

Good try at a much needed solution unfortunately it's beta at best. I gave up on the sync errors sometime ago. Maybe in the future for now it needs some work...

i just got the most recent version this past week. about the only issue i still have is the difference in time zones between my device and google calendar. i have emailed the author on a couple issues, and haven't gotten so much as an acknowledgement.

That's my only issue as well. The time zones are different between the program, my phone, and the authors home country. I hope that's something that will be updated soon.

I figured out the sync problems I was having, but I forgot what I had to do.

I did a hard reset by removing the battery and it's working now. I put a mock event on the gcal and it show on my bb, but the events on my bb arent on the gCal. What gives!

I wanted to sync from BB (BES) to Google one way (upload only) so that my Wife can see both our schedules at home. GCalSync sounded just the ticked... The initial 'full sync' worked quite well - a few all day events shifted a day but general appointments were all correct - BUT when I run a sync it duplicates all entries - I have erased my Google calendar a few times and tried to get it to work again but I'm giving up now :-( I'll try back in a few months to see if it has been fixed - would be great to wirelessly upload and changes to my schedule - I'm going to try the Companionlink option next (but that needs a PC!).

Has anyone figured out how to upload from bb to google cal, the program already downloads with no prob its just the upload. I need a professional on this one.

CalendarShare from Handango works really well. Aside from a few intial connection issues that were fairly easily solved (T-Mobile's Pearl doesn't come with the TCP/IP preset) no problems. I like Gcal's ability to pull stuff off the web (like concert dates/other events), and am frequently away from my Outlook, but usually have web access it is a nice plus. I think it was like $20, but it works out of the box, and you can backdoor multiple calendars by synching with 1 additional GCal, and read only for five more.

Another alternative that works for me is that I sync all my different google calendars with outlook and then sync to my BB. Since I'm a newbie I am unable to post links... so, do a google search for "sync google to outlook" and it will be the top search result entitled "Grinn Production - Blog". Sadly, you'll have to do a bit of hacking, but nothing too involved.

When all is said and done you can sync both ways to your google calendar from your outlook. It's a work around for sure, but I haven't had an issue with it for the past 5 months I've been using it.

Has anybody tried CompanionLink for Google Calendar?
I'm not allowed to post URLs yet, but you can find it on the companionlink web site. There is a free evaluation version, then $30 to purchase. If I try it out, I'll post a review here. If anybody else has tried it, I'd like to know your experience.
