Sorry but I cannot find any other suitable title for my problem. At the beginning when I first flashed to NextDesire Rom (which is lovely by the way) and logged onto facebook my HTC Calendar Synced with facebook calendar about my friends birthdays. Although I never examined the whole calendar about dates but most of the birthdates were present. But when I restarted my device yesterday, all the facebook events dissapeared. I checked the calendar settings and Facebook calendar was not there either. I thought that I should resync my device so that I pushed SYNCALL button; funny thing that I realized Facebook Calendar sync PARTLY and randomly. sometimes a few birthday entires appear in calendar sometimes don't. If you can help me about this problem i will be really grateful. On the other hand N1 is the best phone I have ever used.
That theme is based on alpha build 11. MoDaCo has released alpha 21, it could have been fixed in a newer version if it was a bug.
Some people say a21 is slower than a19, so make a backup and try both and see if syncs fully.
Chances are even reflashing the rom after a fresh wipe will fix it.
Thank you evilkorn i will give it a try

Is this possible? Like I want the Birthday to be sync with the rest of the info. Doesn't seem to have a slot in the default contacts app. On Cyanogenmod 4.2.3.1.
In my experience with the G1 (have had it since initial release) there has never been an option to add the birth date.
I've only seen that in the Hero contact app. you can always use a Hero rom for the G1, but even still, that doesn't seem to sync the Birthdates with google. I
've installed plenty of Hero roms over and over trying to look for a halfway decent one, and I've always had to manually enter the birthdates.
Until I get a mass confirmation of a Hero rom working great, I'm going to stick with CM.

A way round it is to add birthdays to your gmail contacts then add 'contacts birthdays and events calendar' to your google calendar, then they will all appear in your calendar on your G1.
I hope they fix this.
I can't accept that Google can't..
It is essential info.

So ive noticed that some of the tasks that are on my google.com calendar arent showing up on my phone, ive cleared data/cache under settings->apps->manage apps... resyncd at least 3 times but still no go, most show up but there are some from last month or so that arent can anyone shed some light on this issue or knows how to fix it?
TY
btw im running cyanogens latest rom if that matters
Bump...
I've reentered tasks on my phone again then resyncd them they showed up in the calendar on Google.com but then cleared cache again and resyncd and they aren't showing on the phone....
any ideas?
to recap- calendar only syncs one month back, everything else doesnt show up
I'm on stock and I've been having huge calendar syncing issue for the past 10 days or so. Syncing is hectic, sometimes it works sometimes not (both directions), sync icon stays on for hours even when sync is off, sync time gets stuck on some old time and date etc.
I tried uninstall wallpapers, power widgets and the rest but with no success.
I'm starting to think it's a problem with google servers :S
PS: gmail and contacts sync is working.
Im glad im not the only one experiencing this, ive swapped roms and whatnot but that didnt help, and yes contacts and gmail are syncing just fine the only thing that isnt is the calendar. Now that you mentioned servers, it makes sense, i was just tinkering around with calendars and have gotten most of them back, but still inst 100%. Really hope this gets fixed asap
Forgot to mention that at some point I thought it was related to a world cup calendar that I added to gcalendar; but even uninstalling that didn't improve the situation much.
Android not yet ready for business use
Hey there!
How are things doing on your side? Since 2 days, my calendar is syncing (nearly) normally.
But this whole issue made me realize that our beloved OS is not yet very reliable, and thus not ready to be used as a business PDA; especially for people who use their calendar a lot and who need constant synchronization in multiple places.
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.
Hi there,
I read through a couple of threads and found that some people have the same issues with the stock calendar app as me. I mean the one that comes from Samsung and can be found in stock rom and in overcome. I bought the tab for my business.
Unfortunately, the samsung calendar app is pure garbage to say it friendly. Not all calendars show up, they all have the same color and if you add an appointment in your tab, edit it in google calendar on your PC you mysteriously end up with 2 appointments on your tab.
Yesterday, I switched to CM7 to check out how the calendar works in that mod. If CM7 by technomancer wouldn't be still in beta I'd stay on it for obvious reasons. The calendar works perfect and like a charm. All gmail calendars show up, even the ones from my wife. They all have the colors I selected in gmail calendars on my pc. The syncing works perfect.
I was wondering if someone could port that app into the Overcome Rom, because I have no clue how to do that?
Google should do quality assurance to make sure their functions work right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because I use pure calendar widget and it gets the entries from the calendar app. Calengoo, is okay but the widgets suck.
I am willing to donate some money for a working port
Well I tried a little bit around and got some things working. I took a calendar and googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk from a 2.3.3 aosp rom and copied it into system/app fixed permissions and did a reboot.
Guess what the calendar is working. You'll get all different colors and the sync works totally right. Unfortunately there's only one problem. The calendar will crash when you select what calendars to sync...you have enough time to select them but then it crashes. I think this has something to do with the emailprovider.apk from samsung. I changed it to an aosp version but then the calendar crashes all the time.
There have to be done some changes on the emailprovider.apk to get it all going but I have no clue what it could be. It seems there is a limitation on how many calendars can be synced.
So my Calendar is showing Google+ birthdays...I have no way to turn it off without turning off birthdays all together. I want to see contact birthdays but not Google+!
Anyone have this issue and/or figure out how to turn it off yet?
P.S. Google+ birthdays don't even show on the web calendar! I think it's an exclusive annoyance to the app!
Thanks!
I am in the same boat. It is all or nothing. The only (sort of) work around I found was to use some widgets that let you display only contact events and turn off the birthday calendar. Android Pro Widgets and Month: Calendar Widget are the two I use.
This change came about in Calendar itself, not Lollipop. I'm runnign the latest Cal on my GNex on KK and have the same issue since upgrading.
So it has nothig to do with the N6, or Lollipop - It's the App. Sorry.
