Question : any way to synch contact information with htc calendar?

hi dear! i think title its enough to understand my idea
i think its a very big error by htc to dont let contacts and calendar syncronize
i have some contacts who are paired with facebook (i dont know if twitter work because i dont use it) and it download things like birth date!! or some event u want to report in ur calendar from facebook
i have a really bad memory for birthdays and it will help me sooooo much and i dont think to be alone

uhm....what should i intend? there is no way?

Yeah, I would much apreciate that as well.. It would be very helpfull..

It already does. I got a friend whose birthday is on 24 dec, and it appears in my calendar. It is the only one however, so i guess it only shows the birthdays in the next few days.

Well, actualy it does only when you sync your phone with outlook. But i'd love some app, which can do dat evev without outlook sync (because i'm no using it ).

i have a friend whose birthday is 28 dec and dosnt show...im not using outlook too and i dont want it only to syncronize contacts...i prefere backup theme and store

Xardus,
Most probably you already know this but in Outlook there is a field in contacts under the tab "details" here you can fill in the birth date and year. Now in contacts under Wm 2003 (SE) the PDA and Outlook automaticly put a alarm on that specific day and give the age itself. Now in Outlook you will not see this shortley before the date appearing. I have not changed my Outlook and after sync everything including the birth date appeared BUT not in the calender. Now this was also in WM 2003 so I think that a few days (don't know how many)it will pick it up and will appear as a reminder.

yea i know but fist i dont use outlook so i will never buy just to syncro calendar ^^
i know that we can set it manually in contact tabs,i use it at work sometime
i think its quiet usefull take birthdate directly from FB contact and put on calendar...or maybe an app on facebook to store ur birth and then syncro with phone calendar (but it should be a very very big work)

search for fonebook an app for Facebook and Outlook

its an app for ppc or pc?

Any birthdays you add to your contacts will be added to you calendar when you sync with your PC, also if you link a contact with Facebook, that will also add it to your calendar (sometimes you'll even end up with 2 birthdays on a date for the same person).
On a side note....anyone know how to get the calendar to show the age of the person like you would on the Touch HD, as your putting in a complete date of birth, the touch HD would show the persons birthday then their age in brackets after it....doesn't seem to do that anymore...anyone know if there is a way to achieve this?

[Q] Bug in hotmail calendar - birthdays + wp7?

I've noticed a bug in WP7 + live.com calendar. If you let your account to put birthday dates automatically from facebook account it is of course added to your calendar.
However when you later on remove facebook account from live.com or your phone. The birthday data are still there and is impossible to remove them. When you try to do it you just get an error I think it's because the contact does not exist anymore as you removed fb account from it.
When you add fb account again, the birthdays date is again uploaded so you will get for each contact two duplicate date for birthdays.
Does someone know how to fix this? Because of some issues on my phone I was adding and removing fb account from my live account and phone for several times and now my calendar is filled by many duplicate dates which I'm unable to remove.

I haven't removed my Facebook account but I did notice duplicate entries for birthdays in my calendar.
Some are showing in my default calendar and the duplicates are in the automatically added Birthdays calendar.
I don't know why is this happening, but I don't like it.

BUMP
Does anybody know a solution to this? I think ot's hotmail's fault, but still.

i have the same issue. no solution found.
Maybe hotmail has to clean it up ?
Ask support for help maybe cause its annoying.

I do not fully understand the problem/issue you're having.
My FB contacts do not automatically show up in my Live calendar. In order to have my Live Calendar show FB Birthdays, I have to subscribe to the FB Birthday calendar on the Live Calendar (website). These Birthdays are then treated as a "new" calendar on my phone and I can have it set in a different color. As soon as I remove a friend from facebook, the birthday will be removed from the subscribed calendar (well, not "instantly", but during the next sync), therefore from my Live calendar as well...
EDIT:
of course, removing your own FB account from your phone won't delete these calendars. Your FB account still exists and syncs to your Live online calendar. You would have to unsubscribe from your FB Birthday calendar as well, using the Live Calendar website.
EDIT2:
I should also mention that the FB Birthday subscription to your Live Calendar is "read only", you can't modify or edit dates for these subscriptions from your live calendar, but only the FB calendar.

I'm having the same issue and it's really annoying. I've previously had to remove my Facebook account and then re-add it and since then I've had duplicate birthdays for Facebook contacts. I don't want to remove fb accounts again and risk getting triple entries.
Tomorrow I will be trying to contact MS or windows phone support to find a solution to this problem. It cannot be that hard to fix. I will post here when I find anything out.

Anyone find a solution for this? Its extremely annoying and frustrating, especially when MS doesn't care to try and fix what should be something very easy on their end.

Solution for duplicates problem
I know, this thread is old, but I have been confronted with exactly the same problem. I disconnected my facebook account and reconnected it - after that I had double trouble with my birthday entries.
No matter how you got duplicates (or like in my case even triples!) - the solution is actually really simple.
I assume in the following that your live account is correctly connected with your facebook account (click here to check that)
The resolve the problem, do the following step by step:
First of all: Look that every birthday, which is not from facebook, comes from a contact in your contact list (yeah, I know, this step sucks...).
After this, you should only have birthdays in your birthday calendar which either come from facebook or from your contact list. Ready? Good.
Delete the birthday calendar. Just click on its name on the left and then click on "Delete". Confirm the security question.
After this, there shouldn't be a birthday calendar any more. Else refresh the page by pressing F5 and/or repeat this whole step. If it won't disappear, remove the connection between live.com and facebook and try again.
Now create a new birthday calendar. But wait! Not by creating a new calendar, but clicking on the "New" entry on the top and then on "birthday calendar"! Give it a name (or leave it as it is) and click on "Save".
Enter the properties of your newly created calendar (click its name on the left) and click on "Refresh" somewhere in the middle of the page. If your live account is connected with facebook, live.com will get all those birthdays for you and save them in your live birthday calendar - but only one per facebook contact.
Of course, if you have entered the birthday in your live contact record as well as in facebook, you'll get two birthday entries in your live calendar - but I think you'll get over that. Or just remove it from your live contact.
I hope this will help everybody with duplicate birthday entries from facebook in their live calendar.

[Q] Double calender items

I have a nice brandnew Desire S, no custom rom (yet) and all original.
I'm experiencing a calender problem I can't find any info about on google.
I have both a google account with appointments, and an exchange account with appointments. When I make a new appointment in outlook, it get's replicated okay to my phone. A moment later the appointment also gets replicated to my google account, and therefore appears 2 times in my calender app (HTC).
Also when I make a new appointment in Google (on the phone or on PC does not matter) it first shows on the phone once, and later it seems to get replicated to my exchange account and it appears also in outlook and twice on my phone.
I dont want replication between the calenders, I just want to be able to look at both calenders.
Anyone an idea about what I am overlooking?
Thanks!

From within the HTC Calendar application
Calendar->More->Calendars and un-select one of your calendars....either Google or Outlook.

But that's not what I want. I want to be able to look into 2 (soon 3) separete calenders, without getting all appointments replicated to the other calenders...
But somehow the problem got solved. The described behaviour has suddenly disappeared. Pitty I don't know why ;-)

We're you running any additional Sync software on your PC, HTC Sync or Google Calendar Sync?

calendar app doesn't show all my calendars [solved]

Looks like the Sense Calendar doesn't show some of my other calendars from my Google account. One is a shared calendar from my wife, and the other is an extra calendar I created within my google account. Any ideas?
I did not have this problem with stock Calendar on N1.

Do you have it set to show all calenders?

Yeah, but the missing calendars don't even show up as options

I would check the sharing and permissions in your Google account for the calendars you would like to see. Other than that, I really don't know.

more fun.
In hopes of "resetting" my calendar, I tried unsyncing my calendar from my gmail account... but my calendar on the phone STILL SYNCS with my gmail calendar.
WTF?
Now I'm not only annoyed about the crappy calendar, but worried about my inability to cut off syncing access.
Root can't get here fast enough for me.

this matters for sharing with other people. It shouldn't matter for sharing with myself...

Solved
Huh. looks like it's a bug with Android and not Sense.
I had the same thing happen with my Iconia. I finally figured out it happens when adding two google accounts to either device (which happen to share a calendar), and removing one.

[Q] Sync Outlook Calender

Hey guys,
I recently upgraded from a Note 3 to an S6 on Verizon. On my Note I had my Exchange calender sync'd to my phone so I could see when meetings and such were. But on my S6 so far there isn't even an option listed in my calender to display my Exchange calender and it's quite frustrating. I've checked in Settings and Accounts and it shows the calender should be syncing but nothing is populating in my calender. Am I missing something somewhere?
TIA

Stock calender app. Nothing for my corporate email is listed within the application.

Hi, stumbled upon your question today.
As already mentioned aCalender+ works perfect especially together with Aqua Mail.
You can even use corporate Exchange without enforcement of the Exchange Policy and without root.
You'll need the pro version from aqua mail though. But it's worth. ..hundreds of customisations available.

Works fine with my stock calendar. Make sure you have the exchange calendar turned on in "Manage Calendars".
