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 HP Synergy feature (see Your HP Pre
3
), for
example, Google or Microsoft Exchange, you can set up Calendar on
your smartphone to synchronise and display events in the online 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
smartphone sync to the online account, provided the account allows
writing from the smartphone to the online account.
You can set up your calendar accounts in either of the following locations:
• The Accounts app (see Use the Accounts application to set up an online
account)
• The Calendar app (see Use Calendar for the first time and Customise
Calendar)
The Synergy feature provides another advantage: During the same
process you go through to set up a calendar account, you also set up the
same account for all other applications that can display data from that
account. For details on how Synergy works for the current list of online
accounts, see Online accounts available for webOS phones.
For example, suppose you want to set up your Google calendar account
on your smartphone. The last step in setup is to select all the other apps
that you want to receive data from your Google account (besides
Calendar, you can include Contacts, Messaging and Email). After setup
is complete, your smartphone begins to download your calendar events
and all data for all other apps you selected for synchronisation.
NOTE In the Launcher, tap Accounts and then tap Add Account to see the
current list of online accounts you can set up on your smartphone and from
which you can access Calendar events. See Online accounts available for
webOS phones to see how major online accounts synchronise data between the
web-based account and your smartphone.
Enter an event directly in Calendar: See Create an event for instructions.
You can assign the event to one of your online calendars – if you do, it
synchronises with the online calendar. Or you can create the event in your
HP webOS Account, which means it shows up on your smartphone only.
HP webOS Account events are included in the daily backup of your HP
webOS Account information, so you can restore them if they are
accidentally erased.
Use a third-party sync solution: If you want to use a desktop app to store
your calendar events, you may be able to use a third-party solution (sold
separately) to sync your calendar events directly with your computer (see
hpwebos.com/sync-solutions to see if third-party solutions are available
for your smartphone). If there are no solutions available for your
smartphone, check with the developers of existing sync software for other
webOS devices to see if they are developing a solution for your
smartphone).
Export calendar events from desktop software: When you export
calendar events from desktop software, you select which account to
assign those events to. Look for those events in the account you select (see
Export data from a desktop organiser on your computer).
DID YOU KNOW? If you synchronise with your Google calendar, you can add
Google Weather to the calendar on your desktop and have it appear in
Calendar on your smartphone. 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 location. The next time your smartphone synchronises with your Google
account, Google Weather appears in Calendar on your smartphone.
