Additions to the computer calendar appear on the phone calendar. Additions to the phone calendar do not appear on the computer calendar.
Open the calendar application and start creating a new event. There is an option (usually at the top) telling you where and which calendar the event will be saved to. It needs to say your Gmail account and not "my calendar" to save it in the Gmail/Google calendar.
Which phone, and which calendar? Is the calendar you are using on the computer set as the default calendar on the phone?
Samsung S5 ... Google calendar ... not sure how a default calendar is set.
I am using only the Google calendar set up on my computer a long time ago.
No worries bhs67! We've got the answers you need. You can check your active calendars on your S5 by going into Calendar>pressing the dots>selecting Calendars. Each Calendar type will be color coded. You want to ensure that when you add a new calendar entry, you're checking the top of the screen to see which of the Calendars are displayed as your default (in your device the default may be set to the Samsung Calendar) to save entries to. You can click on the Calendar listed when Adding a new event and change it before hitting Save if the desired calendar you need to sync isn't appearing.

Is anything incorrect with these settings?
You need to be sure to select your Google account as the location where you save the events created on the phone. If you create the event in the "phone" calendar, it will not sync with the Google Calendar.
Not sure what you mean. What specific steps should I take?
Ok, it worked. How do I delete "My Calendar"? ... I want it to go to always go my gmail calendar.
