Ok... so i was in another thread when i think i figured out the deal.
I posted there, but the title isnt going to help many people so i opened a new thread.
Originally .....
I go in my 3GS i choose PUSH globally.
I go into ADVANCED and i see
MAIL = FETCH for google mail.
CONACTS = PUSH for google contact (setup via exchange)
CALENDAR1 (main) = FETCH for google (setup via caldev)
CALENDAR2 (main) = FETCH for google (setup via caldev)
This means, my calendars are NOT being updated by PUSH, they are being updated by FETCH whenever i open the Calendar APP or whenever the FETCH timer pops at 15min, 30min, hourly, whatever u have it set at.
I didnt want FETCH i wanted PUSH.
So I turned off my Calendar2 account which was setup via caldev.
I went into the account i setup for contacts, which was EXCHANGE.
I only had CONTACTS clicked on.
I did not have CALENDAR or MAIL clicked on.
I went ahead and turned ON the CALENDAR.
Now... i go to ADVANCED and what do i see?
Both CONTACTS & CALENDAR are being done via "PUSH"
So it appears to me, that GOOGLE CALENDAR supports PUSH but only if you set it up via EXCHANGE, and not caldev.
I do a test. I update google cal with an entry, and within 2 seconds, BINGO its on my iPhone as i'm watching the screen without touching it. This did NOT work like that via CALDEV setup.
Thoughts?
