The dates from facebook that go into my calender are showing up in my calender a few hours off. Ive tried other calendars, and it doesnt seem to help. Right now im using Pure Calender. An event on facebook that starts at 4pm is showing up on my device as 9am. Anyone know whats going on? Ive already tried messing with the timezone on my computer and facebook.
It's a timezone problem with Facebook. The only solution I've found is directly importing my FB events to google calender and just getting them from there.
How do you import the facebook events into google? I think I need to mention that the times only show up incorrect when they are on a widget calender that I have placed on my home screen. The actual calender itself shows them correctly, just the widgets ive used show them hours off.
I have this issue when syncing the TouchWiz calendar with Google calendar. My times is off by one hour, so I checked the timezone settings on both the phone and google's, but none of them were the issue. I still haven't found a solution.
I also replaced the Touchwiz calendar with the stock android calendar, but I still have the same issue.
Any other ideas?
I have same issue on my HTC Desire (2.2). Would be cool if Facebook added time-zone functionality for their events, or if someone made it possible to chose an off-set on your device for Facebook events before importing them into calendar.
You can export Facebook events and/or birthdays and import them into Google calendar with FB application called Fdcal (it has time-zone option). Application is not working flawlessly, I got my events to show into Google calendar, but couldn't export birthdays for some reason.
But this will not solve your issues, because there was no way I could get those events to show on my phone. In Gemini calendar you get an option to check on those additional calendar subscribed on your Google one, but they don't show in my phone either for some reason.
The only workaround I found so far is that once those event show in Google calendar, you can easily duplicate them (save them as Google calendar entries), and those will show once the sync kicks in.
I'm waiting for someone to come up with easier solution

i'm having the same issue, the event is 8 hrs late when it appear in my SGS calendar
Has anyone already solved this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my SGS and the XXJPO firmware.
Well I haven't done anything, but problem IS solved on my HTC Desire for quite some time now. Can't say exactly when it was fixed (or if it was fixed by HTC or Facebook), but event times in my stock calendar that is synced with Facebook are now ok.
On my Touchwiz-Calendar it's working fine, too.
Just in every calendar widget I tried so far, the facebook events are shifted by one hour.
So I am in the time zone GMT+1 but the event gets displayed like I would be in GMT+0.
As a workaround I switched the time zone in my phone to GMT+0, so now the times for the fb-events are correct, but this is causing other problems now.
Is it possible to sync calendar events that have occurred in the past to my phone? I put a bunch of info in the notes section of my calendar events that I'd like to have access to on my phone (without pulling up google calendar in a browser.) All the events (dating back to 2005) are synced between outlook and my Google calendar, however, the phone only pulls future events (or possibly up to 30 days prior.)
Thanks.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Help please.
I'm wondering if you found any solution to this? I have always had past events sync to my phone....but not now...
I just installed a new ROM on my Atrix which upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and now I only get 30 days past syncing. If I go back and change an event, then save it, it will show up...but I have thousands of events and can't do that to each one. I'm really hoping you figured this out since it's been a while since you posted.
Thanks
Hello,
Searched for my question but couldn't find specific or similar thread.
Situation:
1. I have a Captivate with Stock 2.2 and from last 2 days on Cognition 4.4.6
2. I maintain my calendar tracking in MS Outlook and sync it with Google Calendar using Google Calendar Sync software (set to sync every 120 minutes).
3. I use CalWidget app to display the Google calendar on home screen (not that this point is important)
Problem & steps taken:
About 2 months back I had created a recurring event in MS Outlook (basically to remind myself to pay my rent - called getRent) and by mistake set the recurrence to daily rather than first day of the month. After sometime, I saw on my phone that I set the recurrence incorrectly.
I realized the error and set the recurrence right in MS Outlook. It did sync properly with Google Calendar. Now the Outlook and Google Calendar do show the event occurrence correctly to be once a month but when I see it on my phone, it still has daily occurrence.
When I see the event details for getRent on phone Calendar, in 'Repeat' attribute, it says 'Custom...(cannot customize on phone)'
I delete the event series from phone but the next time the phone syncs, the ghost entry shows up again.
I tried removing the sync between my google account and phone completely and resynced but it happened again.
Any suggestions? Am I missing anything ?
I am using a Galaxy S with Gingerbread GKG3. I just noticed yesterday that calendar events older than about 2 months have all disappeared from my Galaxy. Repeating events that are still continueing are still on the phone, but 1 time events are all gone. the events are all still on my google calendar (thankfully). Is there a settings that I need to change? what has happened, any ideas?
thanks all
When I want to set up an appointment on a day where I allready have an allday appointment, the calendar always shows that there are conflicting appointments. I cannot add another all day appointment, because of it. Does anyone know a workaround?
