The GDR2/Amber update for Windows Phone 8 adds support for CardDAV and CalDAV which should fix this issue. To verify it's working...

There is no official Google Hangouts app and may never be due to Google's nearly non-existant support for Windows Phone.
There is an API for developer to use so it's possible, but as you've noticed, no real fully featured 3rd party apps for Hangouts exist (yet?).
There is also no way to use a web version of Hangouts in Internet Explorer on Windows Phone.

No. Its not possible, unless its totally wiping the phone and flashing onto it an android operating system.
Google Play is a marketplace specific to the the Android OS Ecosystem and its variants.
Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile (which is the OS on Lumia Phones) are not android based Operating Systems, so no android apps can run on this platform.

Google has blocked third party apps from connecting to their Voice service. And since Google does not build apps for Windows Phone there are no Google Voice apps currently in the store.

I do not work for Google but I do not see Google launching the Chrome browser on Windows Phone anytime soon (or ever).
If you do want to request, request it on Google Chrome forums where Google has much better chance of seeing your request.

This is a bug with the calendar app on Windows 10 Mobile. Events created 6 months in advance will not show up. This problem isn't restricted to certain phones or Google calendars. There is an issue submitted in the Windows Feedback app for this problem, which you can vote on.

Google Play is an Android app marketplace where you can find Android-only apps. Because of this it's not available for neither Windows nor iOS.

On my Lumia 920 running Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers, the option to sync Gmail emails "as items arrive" is definitely available:
When I enabled that option (normally it's set to manual sync as I don't really use Gmail) and sent myself a couple of test emails, they showed up almost immediately in the notification centre as well as on the live ...

There is no official Google Hangouts app for Windows Phone.
You can use IM+ or Agent + ICQ apps. They are not official or fully functioned but still better than nothing.
See http://www.guidingtech.com/29720/gmail-maps-gtalk-windows-phone/ for review.
See reddit thread for discussion.

This is because in Google services, pdf files are opened as a preview within the website by their services and is not displayed by the browser. It appears as a pop-up in the websites. This is similar to a web app. Microsoft Edge mobile version cannot render that type of web pages it seems.
The best way is to download the pdf and view it Edge or in another ...

It's been a while and nobody seems to have the same issue. But since this question keeps getting votes, I'll just note that the events were not actually changed. They just got pinged.

On Windows mobile 10 the default maps app is all you need.
It uses the downloaded offline maps and has turn by turn voice guidance without the need of internet connection and by using GPS detection just like the Here app.
Imagine the Nokia Here Drive+ part of the default preinstalled microsoft maps app. Now integrated as part of the OS itself to let you ...

I fixed the issue.
The issue was from the pictures associated with the contacts at Google so I removed all of the pictures then the sync worked perfect.
The pictures may be too large for Windows Phone to handle.

Google's customer service should be able to convert your old Fi SIM Card into a data-only card (just give them the numbers on the card. If they can't then you'll have to order the data-only SIM Cards.
If you want to have voice on multiple phones you'll sadly need to install the Hangouts app on those phones and it has never been made available for Windows ...

It seems as Google has removed the app from the store. I guess they also discontinued the backend service as Indrek mentioned.

Both Google Drive and OneDrive are storage solutions of different companies - Google and Microsoft. You can manually copy the files from one to another and stop using the former. If you have programming experience, you may even write your own Windows app.

As I am new to Windows Phone I can only tell how I did the sync with my Nokia Lumia for the Google Calendars, but maybe it helps:
1. Add Google Account to Windows Phone Accounts
Therefore go to Settings --> E-Mail Accounts and other and add your Google Account
2. Make sure the calendar data will be synchronized
After setting up your Google Account in the ...

First, go to your Google account and see if contacts are still there. Next, check if your account has contacts sync turned on. To do that go to Settings/email+accounts/youraccount, slide down and check if your contacts sync is marked as on.

I found a solution that worked for WP 8.1 at this site. Quote:
To get shared calendars visible from my Google account, I had to use Google's online Calendar sync management tool. Depending on your account and how it syncs (Exchange or CalDav), you need to visit one of these pages on your mobile device:
