Re: Google Calendar - sync possible from BlackBerry to Google as well as Google to Blackberry?

Ah!  That is indeed a thing, because I intentionally did not set my gmail account as the email for the phone; I don't want the phone to check the gmail account via IMAP or POP3, since I am very successfully using the Gmail Mail app.  Good point though.  Thanks.

Is there any way I can have that email set up so that BIS DOESN'T invade my gmail??

could add your gmail to BIS, get your service books, then go ack into filters and setup for nothing to get sent to device, then hide your gmail BIS icon.

Wow.  That gets into some stuff I'm just not so sure of how to do.  Through all this, I have multiple calendars now with duplicate information and still none of them - not even the "Facebook" one now - properly sync to the Google Calendar.  I've learned a lot, so that's good, and I hope I don't lose my patience with it.

+1 These instructions were right on for me!  If you install other apps that also integrate with BB Calendar (e.g. FACEBOOK), make sure that your Google Calendar is set to primary to continue to push updates to Google (without having to think about the "Send Using" as you add appts).

Got this off the google support page, and it worked!

 

Thanks to Google employee Brian M. His solution from the thread:

solved my problem. I previously could not get entries to sync from my Blackberry to my Google Calendar.  Here are my details:

Device: Bold 9000
OS: 4.6.0.167 (Initially)

First, I upgraded to OS 4.6.0.247* but that did not fix anything, I then did the following:
1. Go to "Settings"
2. Select "Options"
3. Select "Advanced Options"
4. Select "Default Services"
5. Set "Calendar (CICAL)" to the name of your Google Calendar (even if this setting is already correct, continue with steps 6-10)
6. Escape to the Home Screen and Save the settings
7. Select "Turn Power Off"
8. Once the device is shut down, pull the battery out for 30 seconds
9. Reinsert the battery and start up the device
10. Test Google Sync
