How to sync your Google Calendar on your Huawei phone is a common problem that Huawei smartphone users have had for years. I solved this problem and share the details with you in this article.
The pre-installed Calendar app on Huawei Android smartphones is a very nice one. But it has a weak point: it is not Google Calendar. Even worse, it does not support Google Calendar. There is also no easy way to add your Google account to this calendar. When you dive into the app settings and choose the option to add a calendar, what you get is the complicated setup procedure for Exchange accounts. Too complicated for the everyday user.
I found it out from weeks of reviewing the Huawei GR3. Not supporting Google calendar could be a dealbreaker for you. It is for me, as that is what I manage my schedule with.
How to use Google Calendar on your Huawei phone
Thankfully, there is an easy way to sync Google Calendar on your Huawei phone. Follow these three steps:
- Launch Play Store and search for Google Calendar
- Install and launch it
- Now, select or login to the Google account you use.
That’s it. If you launch the default Calendar on the Huawei phone now, all your Google Calendar entries will show up there.
When you create a calendar entry, be sure to select the option to add it to your Google Calendar account, or else it will be added to the phone. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a way to fix saving to Google account as default option, so you have to select it manually each time.
Why bother with the default Calendar any more now that you have Google Calendar installed? Afterall, you are now able to sync Google Calendar on your Huawei. Why use the pre-installed app anymore?
Well, like I said, I find Huawei’s own calendar more visually compelling and more user-friendly than Google’s. Of course, depending on your personal preference, you can ignore the pre-installed one from Huawei after installing Google’s. You can’t uninstall it though, as it is a system app.
The key point, however, is that you can sync your Google Calendar entries on the Huawei GR3 (and very likely any Huawei smartphone).
Let me know if you are able to sync Google Calendar on your Huawei phone after following this guide. Thanks for reading.

Samsung is currently rolling out updates for the S20 series, with the update bringing the July 2020 Android security update. The Samsung Galaxy S20 phones are the first set of Samsung phones to get the July security patch. This update also brings a slew of camera improvements with it.
The new update is rolling out in Korea, and is expected to hit a number of regions soon. The update carries the firmware version G98xNKSU1ATFD and is not heavy at 386.35MB. Users of any of the S20 smartphones in Korea can manually check for the update in Settings > Software Update > Download & Install .
The new Galaxy S20 series update brings camera improvements like improved video stabilization and better magnification shots. It also lets you use Bluetooth microphones when recording audio through the voice recording app. However, this update permanently removes the MirrorLink function, which helped users connect compatible devices to certain infotainment systems for compatible vehicles.
The MirrorLink function was not particularly popular with users, but the feature will remain on S20 devices until the device is factory reset.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 series includes the S20 , S20+ and S20 Ultra , with the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra the pick of the pack. There are also reports that the company is working on a Lite model which may surface in October of 2020.
