same issue here…still combing the web for viable solutions.
otherwise, i might just go for evernote or other 3rd party apps.

For syncing notes between Mac and Gmail, i found it works only in one direction – from Mac to Gmail. But not the other direction from Gmail to Mac.

- I created a note in Notes.app and it syncs to Gmail, under lable “Notes” correctly.

- I created a note in Gmail and put it under lable “Notes”. It never syncs to Notes.app.

Is there anyone has similiar issue? And will there be a fix?

This will sync Google calendar entries to iCal, but it will not sync the entries in your iCal to Google calendar or your Android phone. I wish there was an easy way to do that.

For better syncing of Notes across platforms, try Evernote instead. It’s free, holds and displays rich media, and has great apps on OS X, Windows, iOS, Android.

iNotes is an excellent little app available on Google Playstore that syncs with the notes data from GMail.

You can also sync Google contacts with OS X by setting up a separate Carddav account with your Google credentials.

In regards to notes, yes you can sync them this method but you will only be able to view them through your gmail app on android by viewing the Notes label. This does not allow you to edit the notes, only view. which is a little pointless. It might be a good idea to show a method of being able to create and edit notes.

You know, I used my friends Samsung Android for a while and I admit I liked it. If there was no iPhone, it would be my phone of choice, but my iPhone 5 is the best phone I’ve ever used hands down. Some at work are getting Androids though, it’s good to know if I get assigned one I will be able to sync it just as easy.
