I do have three entries, non of them named "Org". Whenever I choose an existing calendar within MobileOrg preferences, it stays at the non-existing "Org" calendar. I guess this is the reason why there is no data sync to my calendar. >> 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.

I don't have an existing "Org" calendar and I could not figure out how to create it in my calendar app and MobileOrg obviously doesn't create it on its own. >> 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.

OK, then MobileOrg -> Calendar feature is of no use to me since I avoid the Google cloud. That's really weird since this feature is especially useful to people not having Google Cloud sync activated. >> I gave up and use MobileOrg mainly for capturing and (seldom) >> browsing my Org files for information. OK, at least I got a confirmation that MobileOrg needs this cloud sync stuff.
