Calendar

How do I get events into Calendar?

You have a few options for getting events to show up in Calendar:

Connect to an online calendar:

If you have a calendar in an online account

that works with the Palm Synergy™ feature (for example, Google or
Microsoft Exchange), you can set up Calendar on your phone to synchronize
and display events that you store in the online calendar. Set up
synchronization the first time you open Calendar (see

Use Calendar for the

first time

), or anytime after that (see

Customize Calendar

). After you set up

the connection to the online calendar, events you enter online show up
automatically in Calendar, and events you enter on your phone sync to the
online account.

The Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronize other data from an online
account. By setting up synchronization in one app, synchronization of the
other apps is automatically set up for you. For example, if you set up your
Gmail account in Email before you set up Calendar, when you first open
Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are already
downloaded. And when you first open Contacts, you find that your Google
contacts are already in your phone’s Contacts app.

If you synchronize with your Google calendar, you can add

Google Weather to the calendar on your desktop and have it appear in Calendar
on your phone. On your desktop, log in to your Google Calendar account and open

Calendar Settings

. Click the

General

tab, enter your location, and click the

temperature unit you want in

Show weather based on my locations

. The next

time your phone synchronizes with your Google account, Google Weather
appears in Calendar on your phone.
