Since I don’t have Outlook on my computer, trying to sync through Kies doesn’t appear to be my answer. Use My calendar to sync with Kies.” I’ve downloaded and installed Kies, but I’m not clear on how this would work, as A) I don’t have “My Calendar” and B) when I click on the Sync tab in Kies, it only gives options to sync with MS Outlook functions. When I first open the native “Calendar” app that comes on the Samsung GS2, it tells me that “Google Calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. As a result, I think (someone please correct me if I’m wrong here) I need to find a new desktop calendar program, then choose an Android calendar app that can be synced with it by some means (or vice versa). As a result, I don’t have a current PC calendar program to work with, other than Palm Desktop, which is so old that I have to run it in XP Mode under Windows 7. I don’t use MS Outlook or any of the MS Office suite, having for years used the old Lotus suite, though I’m now slowly transitioning over to the Libre Office suite. I’m afraid I’m a bit of a newbie on Android phones, however, as I only got it four days ago, so I hope my questions aren’t too hopelessly naive. ![]() Knowing that WindowsSecrets members are the savviest tech group around, I thought I’d see if anyone knows of any combination of PC calendar program and Android calendar app that would meet those specs.

I use this calendar primarily for business, so I need to be able to not only enter the event name/description, but also in many cases lots of notes attached to the event, and I need the ability to set very precise event times and duration, as well as to be able to repeat an event at certain regular intervals. However the Palm is at (or more correctly, far beyond) the end of its useful life, so I’ve just acquired a Samsung Galaxy S2, for which I’m trying to find a desktop calendar program that will sync easily and well with some sort of Android calendar app. Then I sync it to my Palm, and presto, I’m up-to-date, as any changes I’ve made on either the Palm Desktop program or the Palm itself are then registered on both devices, which is what I need. For years I’ve used a Palm T|X which has a desktop program that allows me to quickly enter new appointments or to-do items, change them easily, and search them quickly when I’m at my desk, as I often am.
