Since I lack the knowledge that appears to be needed to get calendar syncing to work, my need for a calendar on my phone is limited, and it pains me greatly to make any changes to my calendar outside of org, I have a very primitive system for transferring my calendar to my phone. Whenever I make a change to my calendar on my laptop, I open the agenda to show the month which contains the change, export that month to an html file (with a name like 2016-10.html), and upload the html file to my phone via Bluetooth. The html file looks good when I open it on my Android phone and I don't have to carry my laptop everywhere. At first, I used Dropbox instead of transferring via Bluetooth, but the Android Dropbox app has permission to take over your phone and that worried me (I have all the Google apps except one turned off on my phone). I like the fact that I don't have to connect to the Internet to transfer the calendar to the phone. Yes, this system is embarrassingly simple and it has no features that many would want to have, but I don't need those features. All I need is to be able to look at my calendar when I don't have my laptop, and this system allows me to do that.
