Windows 10 Phone, Sync specific google calendar events

I recently used google calendar to work through some complicated scheduling. I needed to see and cross reference schedules, but I didn't want it all syncing to my phone. Turns out you can click this link and select which sync to the phone:

Windows 10 Phone Can't Send Email (Reply / Forward)

Recently discovered Windows 10 phone breaks my gmail and I can't reply or forward messages in my inbox. Original solution here: link

You need to delete and recreate your gmail account. Honestly Windows 10 phone added some nice features, but what it broke is insanely messed up....I'm moving to an android.

Windows 10 Phone Bluetooth Setting remains grayed out and unselectable after turning it off

 I had an issue where I turned the "Status" of my windows phone bluetooth to Off and it would never let me turn it back on. The solution is to drag down from the top of the screen to see the mini tile menu, you can restart the bluetooth from there

Windows 10 Phone Upgrade Google Calendar Events Set One Hour Later

I had an issue where after my Windows 10 Phone upgraded all my Google calendar events were appearing later than expected. It turns out this was not due to any of the following reasons:

• Time Zones on either my Outlook Mail or Gmail as some posts suggested 
• Daylight Savings Time Configuration 
• Set Date and Time Automatically 

 I read a posts that this may only be an issue for recurring calendar events, but basically Windows 10 actually MOVED my events on my GOOGLE CALENDAR up one hour AND automatically sent out updates to guests. So that is insanely poor design, gmail makes sure to ask me if I want to edit any recurring events in the series, Apparently Windows just did whatever the hell it wanted. Unfortunately, the moved events will NOT appear in the trash, I had to manually drag the calendar entries on my Google Calendar back to where they should have been. I only figured this out because my gmail was cluttered with "updated events" Microsoft really screwed up on this on.

Windows 7 Phone Error: Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again

I recently got this error after I changed my computer name. There are a bunch of different ways you can end up with this. The solution that worked for me is listed below:

It seems that you are having problems with your personal digital certificates! I'd suggest you to create a new certificate as described in KB 2468307 and the steps below:

1.	If it is running, close the Zune software and disconnect your phone.
2.	Open Certificate Manager. To do this, click Start, type certmgr.msc, and press Enter.
3.	Expand Personal, and then expand Certificates.
4.	Click the heading for the Issued By column to sort the column, and then look for one or more certificates that is issued to "zune-tuner://windowsphone/...".
5.	Right-click that certificate and then click Delete. Click Yes.
6.	From the File menu, click Exit.
7.	Click Start and in the search box enter %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSAand click OK.
8.	Find the folder that begins in "S-1-5-21-".
9.	Right-click the folder and then click Rename. Rename the folder so it ends in .bak.
10.	Start the Zune software and connect your phone to create a new certificate.

Please keep me informed if this procedure helped you out to resolve this issue.

Handy Things To Know on the LG Quantum

Quick List of things I wish had been in the manual

1. Quickly Find A Contact - In the People "Tile" Just tap any of the letters (headings) it will bring up a complete list off all the letters
2. Anything can be pinned to the Homepage - For most apps you can just click and hold the icon and there will be a pin option, for pictures and internet pages it is under the settings
3. Shuffling a Song and Repeating in Zune - Start Playing any song, now just tap the album art, don't hold it down, tap it and you can click, favorite, repeat or shuffle.
4. Accessing the zune while not in the zune - Click the volume controls at any time and It appears at the top
5. Moving Tiles on homepage- Just press and hold down on a tile and you will be able to move it
6. Hold down the Windows Key to access the Voice Command Stuff!!!

Pros and Cons for the LG Quantum

Quick list of things I like and don't Like about the new LG Quantum

Pros:

1. Zune integrations makes syncing music / pictures a whole lot Easier
2. Slick Design
3. 3.5 mm Jack for headphones (I Had a Blackjack 2 before this and had to use an adaptor)
4. X box live / Facebook if you are into that
5. Easy linking of contacts from multiple sources, I.e. your hotmail and gmail
6. Nice Camera

Cons:

1. CANNOT Sync with my Local outlook on my computer....wtf. See my previous post on this.
2. Cannot Change Picture for the "Tiles"
3. Cannot Have custom Ringtones
4. Lots of Cool Features, but they are hidden and it is really a pain to try to find stuff out.
5. Honestly, it looks cool but kindof slippery when trying to take out the keypad
6. Horizontal View is not available for all screens
7. Sometimes unresponsive to orientation, when I hold it vertically it may not immediately recognize this and switch the screen appropriately.
8. Cannot Sync Birthday Calendar from Hotmail with the phone: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7/thread/8894aaca-80ed-4dc6-bc30-7ab1f934dfdb
9. SkyDrive only works with pictures and OneNote Files
   

Bottom line... honestly, its a cool phone, and if you didn't use outlook before and you have an xbox / facebook you will probably enjoy this.

I, however, am finding many features that are missing and it is really irking me.

LG Quantum Outlook Sync

I just got the new LG Quantum Phone with Windows Mobile 7.

To my up most disappointed there is no option to directly sync your normal Outlook with the phone. For all those interested here is a walk through I found:

And it was waaaaaaaaaaay more complicated than I had hoped to find a solution on google, thats why I have written this post.

"

I think the confusion comes from both yes and no being an insufficient answer for the question overall. It has to be broken down into parts.

The Short Answer

• You don't need to change your e-mail account. You would just have another account used for syncing information. Windows Phone 7 let's you have multiple accounts on the phone
• The phone downloads your mail directly. You don't need outlook for this
• Your Calendar information can sync from Outlook to the phone via Outlook connector
• Your contact information can sync from Outlook to your phone via Outlook connector
• There's not a Tasks equivalent on Windows Phone 7
• Notes from outlook won't sync, but OneNote documents do

Detailed Answer

Windows Phone 7 is cloud (Internet) oriented. Most of the data transfers you do on it will involve an internet connection. It does not sync to outlook directly. Instead it syncs to an online account. You'll primarily sync media via a tethered connection to the computer. Everything else is over the cloud.

If you put your account settings for your mail account on your phone it will download the e-mail directly. No syncing with the desktop is involved there.

Contact and calendar information can sync from outlook to a live account. You would then use this live account to sync that same information on your phone. Note this doesn't mean that you would need toCHANGE your e-mail account. You could use what ever e-mail account you like for sending mail from the phone.

Notes from outlook won't sync to the phone. Instead you'll want to use Office Live. With Office Live your Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote documents sync to your phone over the internet. So you could go from editing a document on your desktop to editing it on your phone without the need to manually move files around. OneNote would be the best fit for replacing notes. You can place text, audio clips, and pictures in your notes using OneNote.

There's no direct equivalent for Tasks on the phone. But setting up reminders on the Calendar can take that functionality.
