Cannot sync calendar on phone with calendar on tablet

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet.  I mostly use the phone to enter appointments, etc.  None of these appointments show up in the calendar on the tablet.

 

I have checked accounts, removed accounts, re-installed accounts, to no avail.  Contact birthdays are there, but no appointments or events that I create on the phone.

 

I went to the ATT Customer Service Center in Paramus.  The guy had me delete my gmail account and add it back in.  Some birthdays showed up, but no appointments.

 

This is extremely frustrating.  How do I sync the two calendars?  They are both green.  What am I missing?

 

Thanks.

Perhaps one or the other device isn't actually using Google calendar?

 

On each device...

 

1. open the calendar app.
2. click on menu button to the left of your home button at the bottom of phone.
3. click on settings on the list that pops up.
4. about halfway down is a selection "Calendars". Click on it.
5. On the window that pops up select the calendar(s) that you want to show. Only select google calendar to show. Then click on "done" at the top right corner.
6. When you add a new event via the "+" at the top of the calendar window, you should see which calendar it is trying to add it to right below the "Cancel"and"Save" selections. If it is not your google calendar then click on it and select the google calendar.

Thanks for your reply.  I had found the answer somewhere else.  

 

But it is the same as your solution.  Everything is syncing now.  No one at AT&T (either at the store or on the phone) told me to make sure I had the phone set to the google calendar.

 

There are a lot of people who have had this same problem and had trouble finding the solution.

 

Thanks again.

Hello cheryljmurphy, we're here to help with your syncing inquiries.

 

Refer to Microsoft support for details on syncing the Windows 11 Outlook calendar on your PC using the email address to your android phone.

 

To sync your Google Calendar with Outlook Windows 11 log in to your Google Calendar account. In the left column, click My calendars to expand it, then hover over the calendar that you want to add to Outlook as an Internet Calendar Subscription.
 
Select the three dots to the right of the calendar name, then select Settings and sharing: Copy to clipboard button.
 
Let us know if this helps. Reach back out to us if you have any other questions.

Thanks but I'm still not following. Can you be specific in your instructions on where I update for the android outlook app. I'm using the outlook app on my phone for yahoo email @att.net.  I'm not using the outlook 365 app that requires a subscription. Would I got to a different place on my phone ?

Microsoft support suggested I open an outlook.com account on all my devices so the calendar and contacts will be out on the server so they can be synced on my phone. I was thinking I can do this with my google calendar but I want to use my att.net email address.
