Hello, could somebody provide me name of the program that could update Birthday and Anniversary date from my Hero (powered by Modaco 2.3) to Gmail contact list. I need to have in Gmail birthday and anniversary, not in field for note I need in field for Birthday and etc.
I know only one program EboBirthday, but it doesn’t want to update Gmail contact list. So please don't advise it to me.

Contacts may have lots of information including birthday! Entering birthday, does it mean that, you will be notified of the birthday, or is it just there?
Did anybody try that?
Yes, you will get notified of that persons birthday.
no alert
I tried to set a birthday in a contact a day ahead. Didn't get any notification of the birthday. Is there anything I have to set in order to have work?

i use Vbirthday..... it works fine. it shows you the actual (or the next) age of the contact, and the days to the date of BD... it synchronizes with your outlook contacts but you can add new "events" (birtdays, anniversary etc). hope this useful. bye
not working

Just tried to install Vbirthday and it does not work with my HTC Diamond :-(
Is there any other alternative which sends notifications and alerts on birthdays??
Tried NS Birthday but does not send notifications, it only displays birthdays in one place!
sir, read this

I have found that once you set a birthday for a contact after a few sync's with your Calander and PDA with Activesync it appears in the calander as a recurring event. Then you can edit the recurring event in Outlook calander and sert alarms/whatever.
Alternative is to just add birthday /anniversary/sacred day...whatever as a recurring event and add the alarms you want (best with outlook and then sync)

Active Sync / Windows Mobile Device Center & Outlook do that for you.
Sync. your device with Outlook to mark birthdays on your calendar.
Birthdays will show up as a full day event.
Utility
It would otherwise be nice to have a little tool that looksup your contact book and from there, it check all birthdays and build a database with notifications and alerts
Hi,
As title. I wish to Sync my contacts from my Google account from a specific group but the default sync apps will sync all the contacts to my phone.
Is there a app that can choose which Google Contacts Group to Sync? Btw, the default Sync is it a one way sync or two way sync?
Thanks
Open up your contacts.
Go to "Groups".
Hit the Menu button on the phone.
In the menu, select "Sync Groups".
Select/Unselect your groups.
Thanks, I think the ROM I am using right now doesn't have this program Contacts as it is using People.
honestly?
wow ok
sorry replace "people" with contacts
+ he said go to your contacts not go to the app called contacts
You may find that the default groups dont sync from Google to your phone. It took me a while to realise this when I moved to Android in August last year!!
Basically the following default groups in google wont sync to your phone:
Friends
Family
Colleagues
Yeah, I know it sucks, but it is how it is!!
The only way I found to get round it was to create 3 new groups with similar names and use them INSTEAD of the default groups.
I setup the following:
My Friends
My Family
My Colleagues
This has worked well for me and all contacts in these new groups sync well.
I hope that helps?

Cannot sync contact from outlook
i have problem sync my contact (current using htc hero).never have problem sync with outlook before(htc touch pro then iphone 3G).now my prblem is,cannot sync my contact "group" from outlook to htc hero and image contact not include.anyone can help me?
When my HTC Hero(GSM) was ky primary phone, I remember that I could have birthdays show up in the calendar, so I do not have to go to the Facebook application to see them. It was default on the hero but I can't figure out how to get it to work.
Also, I found myself envious of the new Blackberry Torch because through blackberry messenger, it adds your Facebook events to your calendar automatically. Does anyone know of a way to add this as well?

Two ways to do this that i have found.
One is to go to facebook on a the computer. Export the calendar, and then Import it into your google account. bleh
What i found today i think will do what you need.
Ebobirthday
can be found in the market. This will log into your face book account to sync with Birthdays. Then you can have it sync with the calendar inside the phone.
Hope that helps you somewhat.
This is sort of what I'm looking for, I still feel like there is a way to do this without having to resync that calendar information. Already in the phone if you pull up a contact, it does give the contact's birthday information, but for some reason it does not include that information in the calendar like it did on the Hero.
That app is a good temporary solution until I figure out how to get it to work just the way I want it. Thank you!
Edit: Playing around with it, I found a section in the menu that lets you add Calendars. In order for my Hero to have been able to sync birthdays to the calendar, there had to have been a Facebook calendar in that list, and there isn't one now. So I think to solve my problem it is just a matter of figuring out how to add Facebook to the HTC Calendar.
Does anybody know how to get the birthdays of your contacts to sync with your calender?

Something has to put the birthday in the calendar. If you sync with Exchange, and set up your contacts wtih Birthdays, Outlook will add them to the calendar. Google doesn't do this, but there are some tools to do it:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/07/birthday-calendar-for-google-contacts.html
Since Facebook doesn't have a calendar, I see no way to do it automatically. All the above methods rely on the contact app to talk to the calendar app within one application suite.
If you have Google/Gmail contacts and you have all their birthday information entered there. The easiest way is to go to Google calendar on a desktop. Then you would go to the Calendar settings, click on the Calendars link, and then click where it says to "Browse interesting calendars". This will take you to a page where it has the options for Holidays, Sports, or More. If you click more, there is a "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar that you can subscribe to. Once subscribed, you can then select it as one of the calendars to sync on your phone to the calendar app.
Sounds complicated and maybe it is for some, but it was not for me. Hope this helps.
"EboBirthday" from Android Market does exactly what you're looking for perfectly and you don't have to worry about syncing with anything outside of the contact list on your phone.

well... kind of...
when you turn your phone off, and turn it back on... all the birthdays dissappear from the calender and you have to run EBOBIRTHDAY again... which takes a few minutes if you have a lot of contacts...
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
Hmm. This didn't happen to me and I've had it practically since the phone came out

is there an app or something that sync facebook with contacts so when sombody call i can see his picture?
thank you.
Its easy no app is needed its already built in
On your phone go to settings - accounts and sync
In there you can add account and login to your facebook and there will be options to sync calendar and contacts
Just know it will add all your friends from facebook, and if your like me you don't want half those people in there, and also if your like me and you synced your google contacts you'll have doubles, just select one of the double contacts hit your menu button select Join Contact and then select the other double and it will merge the info
Hope that answered your question
thanks, but if i dont want to have all the facebook friends in contacts?
only my contacts?
sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong but you have to sync all contacts and just delete the ones your don't want, shouldn't take you that long.
when you install the facebook app from android you have the option to sync contacts only during set up.
thank you all, i will try.
google for syncmypix.apk
it's just for picture syncing
Thank you.
