How to sync my calender both with my phone and my tablet?

Beitrag von 2svensson2 »

I have used MPE for a few years to sync my Android phone (Sony) with my Windows 7 computer running the MPE application v1.8.4.
Now I bought a Nexus 7 Android tablet. I have installed the MPE client on the Nexus and I manage to connect the Nexus7 to my Windows PC via WiFi. but this requires that I first create another (different) calendar. It syncs w/o problems with the new different calendar, but I like to share the SAME calender over all platforms. Would it be possible to have MPE use the same calendar with the same content in BOTH my smartphone AND my tablet? If yes, how do I make it happen?

Seems like we are many with similar requests. How can we get an answer (if it is at all possible to "multisync") from the people behind MPE?

Not sure exactly how you're using your PC and tablets/phones but I do this with an XP Pro PC (running Outlook 2010). I sync Outlook, using MPE, with two phones. There is just a different user per device. I also never 'multi-sync', I always use the individual sync (calendar or contacts).

If you're just using MPE on the PC then I'm not too sure.

Hi,
For me MPE on the Win7 PC is the master calender (I am not using Outlock). I sync the MPE calendar with my Android phone (whith the MPE client installed). So far everything works just fine.
Now, when I have an additional Android MPE client on a Nexus 7 tablet (should be the same if I like to use two smartphones) and want to sync this with the same MPE calendar (with the same content) on the host PC, the problem starts. In order to connect the Nexus 7 to the MPE host on the PC, I need to add a new "phone" (the MPE sees the Android tablet as a phone). This works BUT I now have a new and different calendar. I dont want two separate calendars!

If you want to sync several devices to each other then you have to sync them with the same datasource (f.e. Outlook)

Thanks, but still I wonder why MPE cannot be the source, since this is what i use as my "master" calendar. I am not using any other calendar like Outlook, only MPE.

Best,

MyPhoneExplorer does handle every device seperate. There are good reasons why i made it this way. If you have no Outlook then you can set a local *.ics-File as sync target, just enable it for both phones in Menu-File-Settings-Sync

Thanks,
But I don´t fully understand. How do I set a local *.ics-File as sync target, and enable it for both phones in the Menu-File-Settings-Sync.?
In the Menu-File-Settings-Sync i have already marked "only MyPhoneExplorer".
Please explain how I enable it to sync with both phones (or one phone and one Android tablet as in my case).

Create a emty *.ics-File, for example C:\calendar.ics, then go to Menu-Settings-Sync and set the calendar to "iCal File". As last step you have to select your file in the advanced settings for the sync. You have to select this setting for both phones seperate cause the most settings are handled seperate too.
