Hey Community
I was wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing issues with syncing facebook contacts with the Transformer TF700.
Although I have the sync contacts option checked, it does not sync them. If someone has experienced this issue and know of a solution, would you please be so kind as to share the solution
Thanks in advance

From what I have noticed, Facebook contact sync has not worked on Ice Cream Sandwich since the beginning. My old ICS tablet and Samsung Galaxy Nexus with ICS have the same issue. My workaround was to install "Friendcaster for Facebook" and "Facebook contact Sync" which allows me to sync contacts from 2 separate Facebook accounts with Android simultaneously. I then went into my online google calendar and linked it to both Facebook account calendars so that syncs birthdays as well. Just google "facebook calendar to google calendar" for instructions on linking them.

Hey DonDallas71
Just wanted to say THANKS !!!!
The solution of friendcaster for facebook worked like a charm
Thanks again
I know that this has kind of been answered but I would like to add that there is an app called haxsync that's is very good at syncing Facebook contacts. It cost about a dollar but it's well worth it.check it out.

Hi guys,
I just bought Samsung i5700. Has android 2.1. I use win 7, KIES and I can't sync my contacts and my calendar. For contacts only syncs 1080 contacts and in calendar none.
For me also interesting would be installing WinMobile 6.5 on this phone ... it's more easier solving.
Can i get an app or something to solve this?
Thanks
The most promising thing I know of is Android-Sync. It works similar to HTC sync. There's a desktop app and a phone side app. When you plug in the phone, it syncs.
It's pre-alpha right now, but it will sync contacts and single calendar entries. Recurring appointments are not yet supported. I'm waiting for that to be added and then I should be able to use it.

I have been using gSyncit ($14.99) from www.daveswebsite.com.
It syncs Outlook's contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes to/from Gmail. Notes have to free from special characters in order to sync (Google problem).
I've been using Google Calendar Sync. It requires a gmail account and had some trouble syncing older recurring appointments. but for the most part it works.
I use a program called "Go Contact Sync" for contacts... I have one contact that ir refuses to sync but it does alright for me besides that.
Both are free.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I would not like to share my details with Google or gmail.
The sync works super, but it would not put more than 1080 contacts . Also, in calendar widget it would show me not today's event about to come, but events for the next days. Quite tricky .
Would be nice to finalize this android app ... would work nice, not like that stupid Samsung software
Regards

wow the holy grail. Sync via USB and none of that cloud stuff.
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.
Hi...
I have a new Galaxy Nexus. Everything is fine so far. I different mail accounts installed (gmail, pop2, MS Exchange 2010).
The mails and the contacts from my Exchange account are shown and synced without problems. But the calendar does not show at all. Its not even listed in my available calendars nor is it in the list of the calendars to sync.
My phone is running on Android 4.0.1, Baseband I9250XXKK1...
I hope someone can help me... I do not want to use a 3rd party product. I like the look and feel of the calendar app.
Thank you!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi Timmy...
Thanks for the answer. The sync with email and contacts works without any problem...
I tried the touchdown App yesterday. There also the calendar sync works fine. But I would like to use the builtin Calendar and not a 3rd party App.
Thank for the support!
Dear all...
I really need an hand..
I have a samsung omnia w and I would like to add to my calendar the other calendar I had on my google account.
So I go to m.google.com, I put the tick on the 3 calendars I have "Birthdays", "Weather" and another one...Well now I can see them in the Settings on my wp, but if I go in settings, email and account, I see that google account can't sync!!!..
I have an error...like 8600050C...
I have this error only If I put a tick on "Birthday and Events Contact"...with the other 2 calendars there is no problem..
Why!??!??!?
Please help me!!
Thanks
same problem here, really annoying!!!
Add another one with this problem.
same problem here on lumia 710.
birthdays were syncing until yesterday just fine and stopped approx 18 hrs ago. no google content (contacts, emails, calendars...etc) would sync today until i disabled the birthday calendar. hopefully there will be a timely resolution...because i don't find the workaround to disable the birthdays a long term solution.
It looks like whatever the issue was, it is now fixed. Once again the birthday calendar syncs without problems.

Hi guys! First post on this forum, and I was wondering if you could help me out with a little problem here :fingers-crossed:
The place I work use Outlook calendar, and I would love to get that showing on my SW2. However I can't seem to find any apps that support anything else than the "standard" Google calendar. I've tried subscribing to the Outlook calendar with Google, but the refreshing of the .ics-feed is WAAAAY too slow (like 6-24 hours), and I need it to update rather fast. Anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thanks to the both of you!
However I landed on adding the Exchange account to the "Accounts" part of Android. After that, it was a breeze to sync calendars.:good:
