This question is about the relationship between Android and Google Calendar. When your data is loaded into Google Calendar, and synced with the phone, the phone apps prevent you from accessing data beyond one year of today. To go beyond this, you need to open a browser and navigate there. Why is this? When/will Google ever resolve or expand this limitation to include everything? On Palm, I could access anything from any year, extremely fast. That kind of power, kept me extremely productive. It bothers me, that even though we went forward, were still behind. Appreciate it...

Thank you for your honest feedback. This concern has worried me for quite some while. Even a couple of "professional developers" tried to blind me with "fog" whenever the subject came up. Today, I contacted Google Play's customer support and tech line. I explained all of this in detail. The first concern was about removing the limitation. The second suggestion, was offering the option to sync between a lower and upper date range. That way, devices with limited memory sensitives would still be OK. My final suggestion, was to offer the option of syncing everything to the SD Card (they get bigger and bigger each day). To my surprise, they admitted that it sounded like a concern. They listened to every work I said, documented it, and sent it up to the higher managers. It's my highest hope that they will get rolling on this, and patch this limitation in time... Just sharing this to the world. Take Care & Happy Androiding!
Good tips that I use. Steve, one point on inviting. Google doesn't allow us to merge (but only forward) all our gmail accounts. If an invite is sent to a forwarded gmail address it will not appear and it tells you so. The invite has to be sent to the calendar e-address which I don't use except for Google to forward my current e-address. The only way around this, I think, is to have my old address used...defeating the purpose. Any ideas? With your power can you ask Google to merge accounts? ;)
Steve, I have been working for weeks to try and set up a calendar that several of us at work can share. Bottom line....we cannot seem to get it to work. We are using Google Calendar and keep getting an error message that reads something about the one time calendar access transfer key is invalid. We get this the first time we open it. Do you have any idea what this might be and how we can fix it??? Help!
I became successful in importing calendar, but encountered a problem. 1) I created "Calendar 1" in YELLOW colour. Created some events in that calendar which BY DEFAULT acquired YELLOW colour. 2) I created "Calendar 2" in RED colour. Created some events in that calendar which BY DEFAULT acquired RED colour. 3) Then I imported Calendar 1 in Calendar 2 due to which all events in Calendar 1 were copied into Calendar 2. But such copied events which were originally YELLOW coloured got changed to RED colour i.e. they acquired the colour of destination calendar rather than retaining their original colour of source calendar. How could this happen?
Navneet Joshi This is a perfect question for the Google forum, sorry to pass the buck but it is beyond my why this sort of stuff happens, but take heart, it is NOT just you! try here! productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/calendar
You need to amend this because Calendar 5 on Android just became horrible and lost pinch to zoom and now is so bad that lots of people are uninstalling it because its not fit for purpose and too hard to use.
I just want to sync my calenders on my Samsung tab 3 with my pc google calender. It is not working and no one is showing me anything I need. Where is the power of this bloody internet now.
Calendar sync can be very frustrating saevaroa All I can offer is work out from google calendar, use it as a base, then sync your PC and phone to that calendar
Thank you so much. I have learned more in 20 mins watching you than in a week of reading books and pop ups on my new phone.

You can't

Thank you!!
Sergio Matta Yep, you can send dates to Google Cal through taskclone
Thank you very much for your reply.
