* Credentials

  • Username: Your full Google email address, e.g. jon@gmail.com
  • Password: Your Google Account password
  • Domain: leave empty

* Sync schedule

  • Decide when you want synchronization to happen. Leaving this Always On will ensure your data is always current, but will also consume more battery than other settings.

  • Synchronize Calendar: Enable or disable
  • Sync Calendar back: your preference
  • Initial Sync: Decide if you want to keep existing Calendar events on your phone or replace them all with events synced from Google Calendar.

    Goosync does work great but at a price especially if you want multiple calendar synchronization, so far Google Sync has worked perfectly for me, using this tutorial I setup my XM 5800, where are you getting stuck at.

    Oh really, I had no problems following the tutorial, I actually configured my XM 5800 with. Yes, Goosync works great as well, I have a premium account which will expire next year, I have to evaluate if I will sign up again. Google Sync is working quite well for me but if you need multiple calendar synchronization between Google Calendar and your smartphone then Goosync is the way to go.

    I have the N97.

    I wondered how I can sync my phone with Google but I always thought it was too complicated. Until I stumbled on your article. It took me less than 5 minutes to get it done. Thanks!
