Hi Tom, In answer to your question - no, Outlook doesnt syn with the default samsung Cal I am afraid. I have contacted them, they have confirmed this in the past and I have left feedback and a feature request on the Outklook app. Outlook does sync contacts though. The default Sam Cal app takes its information from accounts registered on the phone not other 3rd party apps. So, as per my workaround in this thread you will need to add your non-gmail account to the Samsung email app. Thats making an assumption you are using a non-Gmail account. If Gmail, it should work fine. What accounts are you using on Outlook? Hotmail, Yahoo etc?

Glad it helps! One thing I do is use Outlook on my phone as default email client. If you use Samsung Email you will have duplicate emails and contacts etc. so under "settings" then "account" i untick "sync emails" and "sync contacts" so its just the calendar and tasks that sync. There is no issue with both email clients syncing but uses more data, battery and system resources.

The app is already preinstalled, but adding my hotmail added it to the Samsung email app. As I said on a previous post, I then disabled email and contacts sync (as I use Outlook as a preferred email client) and allowed the Samsung email app to sync. Absolute pain,but if you want to use the default calendar app with Hotmail then that's an option until Microsoft enable Outlook to sync with the default cal

Just added my Hotmail on the stock cal app on my S10+ and worked perfect.

Indeed, was how I did it. But it also means the mail app is syncing other data, using data and battery, such as emails and possibly contacts. If you don't intend to use the app for mail then remember to disable all other syncs apart from calandar. What a pain in the rear.

Hi Band, Thanks for that. I am set for auto restart once a week and last night probably was the auto restart. But the others weren't and when I went into the member app there was a report waiting for me to send.. It doesn't happen frequent enough to leave in safe mode, but that is a good idea if it gets more frequent. No rogue apps that I know of, all the same from the S9+ that I had. Thanks again, Rob

Have the S10+ 5m lb and noticed it has restered several times. Once just now with 20% battery and moderate use, once last night charging and at least one other occasion. None of the restarts were due to software updates. Anyone else?

Indeed, but mine took 2 hours just now to swap. I used the wifi connection rather than cable so I could keep both on charge. Both got hot so dont leave on leather sofa's etc. Also, had a call come in on the S10 during transfer, took the call then the transfer continued which was a relief! Enjoy your new phone guys!

I thought the cable would be faster, didnt really appear to be and dont forget you cant fast charge either phone whilst using the cable. Mine was interrupted with a call, then low battery and had to completely reset phone. I think restoring from the cloud (Google or Samsung) is best unless you are moving from another platform.

I posted here but no replies yet :- https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S10e-S10-S10/Smart-Switch-or-Google-backup/m-p/970549#M706 Whats the general consensus here? So, saying hello to the S10+ today and bye bye to the S9+. My S9 is backed up in my Google account. When I switched fro S8 to S9 last year I found the Smart Switch app fine, but with a lot of data it takes ages, maybe an hour, to transfer wireless or via cable which can't be interrupted. Which it was on a couple of occasions. I ended up using the backup on my Google account as when it starts it just keeps going via a WiFi connection, which worked fine. Question is, shall I restore from my Google backup or does the Smart Switch app give any additional benefits?

Hi Andrew, Thanks for that, I think I missed that... I think night mode, stock theme with different wallpaper and icons is where I was at previously .. The update disengaged night mode and changed the look. Spent ages tweaking when it was just night mode.. Thanks again, appreciated. Ps night mode only works on stock theme which is why I missed it whilst tweaking

Just had a patch and update and it effected my themes which I can't undo. I used a dark theme and usually all the notifications, menus and options are perfectly readable. Now, when a notification comes in I see the headline in the popup / pull down but the rest is a very dark grey on black and unreadable. Tried various combinations of themes but can't get a dark that's readable. My wife has the same S9+ which is fine. Not rooted, stock. Anyone else?

Yes, indeed just a work around. The main problem is that you HAVE to install and run the email app, even if you prefer Outlook as I do. I have the app running but diabled the email side of things and just use the Calendar sync. The other isssue is that Outlook is not a 2 way sync for the Cal as it is for contacts. That is a Microsoft issue / limitation (I have been speaking to them). The only other option is to use a different calendar / widget like the Outlook one, that works quite well. Frustrating thing is I have to use a Gmail to log into Google / Apps, I use a Hotmail for personal use and seperate work account. The stock Email app isnt up to the job and I wouldnt want all 3 accounts in one place.... All workarounds, my old Windows Mobile was so much better organised from a systems level.

You are looking in the wrong place, this is for the app itself, to toggle it on and off go to phone, then settings and you should see it.

I had the same, 9+ on EE. The APK settings were lost. Call your operator (or find online) and the will send you the settings via sms or am install sms. You could also try removing sim, restarting without a sim. Put the sim in then restart.

EXACTLY.... This is a complex process (I have been thru it with Samsung a few times and for many years as a Microsoft Insider with Windows PC's on Windows Mobile). There is a plan to roll it out region by region. If they hit a snag (their end or with target devices) then they will pause. A beta by very nature is unfinished but I would rather have a mildly buggy piece of s/w rather than one with big issues or bricking my phone. No point in hounding the support team 10 times a day, they are trained (loosely speaking!!) to support issues with phones and wont necessarily have insight to marketing and 3rd line / rollout teams. No one is forcing us to refresh 100 times a day.... but we do! Based on past experience, the registration stays open for a few days so its unlikely you will miss out on reg or thye beta. Bearing in mind, theres probably only a few hundred ppl in the UK that desperately waiting for the beta, and lets face it, its not a radical change and fixing a broken Android 8! So... Keep Calm and Carry On! Peace out!

I think you will be hard pressed to get any decent service from most global companies, with a few exceptions. Microsoft have been appalling for me. A great onlin community of Beta Testers / Insiders but when something goes wrong (with non-Beta stuff) its incredibly hard to find anyone that is paid enough to care. MS completely wiped all my contacts from my paid Hotmail account I had accumulated over 10+ years from my Hotmail account this year. One ***** said its a migration and you should get them back in a few weeks. Another engineer actually tried and then eventually, 3 weeks later they recovered a backup. MS phone issues etc. Virgin Media... many operators cant help you if you go off script. Similar with a faulty Parrot Drone, useless. I think the Apple shops are pretty good from memory and using Google for Business the support was great. Unfortunately we are small voices in a global market. I know, enough leave and all that but thats the way it goes :(

Pretty much what I have done but then you have two email clients.... Samsung and Outlook... Double battery and double data.. Also, as Outlook syncs contacts duplicates in Contacts. I did have the Samsung mail app running just for calendar but changed all the settings in the app to sync the very minimum of data, just headers, no attachments etc. Works for me but still a silly workaround.
