I have a Samsung Captivate (or Fascinate; whichever is the AT&T version). My calendar app is set to sync with my Google calendar, and if I add something to the Google version on the computer, it will appear in my phone. However, it does not work the other way; events added to my phone do not appear in my calendar when I view it on the computer. I really need to be able to see the same events from either location. I’ve tried searching the market for a specific Google-calendar app, but was unable to find one. Is there a setting I’m missing? The app’s settings in my phone show everything as synced. (sync-ed? sync’d? sync-enabled?)
