I am just looking at the config in my phone (with Android 5). I have checked "Synchronize with calendar". The calendar name is set to "org-calendar" (I think that is the default, since I do not recall ever having changed/set it). Under "Advanced" I set "Assimilate calendar entries" (this I find very useful for the odd case when i enter things in the android calendar directly). I have NOT checked "Delete on assimilation". > > Nexus 5 with CyanogenMod 12.1-20150808-NIGHTLY-hammerhead (Android > 5.1.1) > I do not understand why the following is leading to trouble, so I think I am seriously misunderstanding something. > Current situation: in MobileOrg settings, I want to choose a > calendar which gets populated by MobileOrg. I do not recall ever having to do anything especial here. > In the list of available calendars You mean the list that is available when you try to set the options under "Calendar name"? I see there six entries (one for my gmail user, one for "PC Sync" that I have no idea what it is, then "org-calendar", a fourth called "Cumpleaños" [birthdays] and then "Holidays in Spain" and a sixth one which seems to be the same but in Spanish). > I can choose whatever calendar I want but afterwards, MobileOrg shows > "Org" (the default one) as the selected calendar. If I understand correctly, this is used by MobileOrg to place its entries in a calendar that the Android calendar will use. When the entries are displayed in your Android calendar, you'll see these as coming from "Org" (or mobile-org). Why would you not want to set it to "Org"? > > Maybe it has something to do with my disabled sync settings: I don't > sync to the Google cloud. Aha, I think this is probably needed. I think I only get entries updated if I enable syncing of the calendar (but you can decide what you sync with google --- no need to sync everything, from email to contacts to ....). > > I gave up and use MobileOrg mainly for capturing and (seldom) > browsing my Org files for information. -- Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Department of Biochemistry, Lab B-25 Facultad de Medicina Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Arzobispo Morcillo, 4 28029 Madrid Spain Phone: +34-91-497-2412 Email: rdiaz02@gmail.com ramon.diaz@iib.uam.es http://ligarto.org/rdiaz
