The Reader

Well, I am baffled.

I removed the Exchange/Google account and added it back in. Unfortunately that did not do the trick.

Here is what I am seeing:

First, when I open iPhone Contacts or native Calendar, it does not automatically connect and sync.

Second, if I make an entry on the web side of Google Contacts, it will eventually sync to my iPhone. It sometimes can take up to 10 minutes, although last night my entry that I made onto the web side of Google Contacts did not show up on my iPhone until this morning. This afternoon it is taking around 10 minutes or so.

Third, this is the bigger problem. It appears that changes made to existing entries on my iPhone are not syncing to Google Calendar web end. example, I made an entry directly onto Google Contacts web side. It eventually syncd to my iPhone. I then deleted it off my iPhone but it is not deleting off the Google web side. I see the little spinner circle when I delete it off my phone so I am assuming that it syncd.

Very frustrating!
