Not sure if this is the right thread to post/ask this, but I installed the Musketeers 3.6 on my Sensation XL yesterday, and it looks good, but somehow I can't see the Facebook birthdays and events in my HTC calendar. In the HTC stock roms I was always used to seeing these, as you can see more calendars in the HTC calendar. This is my first custom ROM on a HTC phone so I wondered if it would have something to do with the development of the Musketeers rom or if it's an oversight on my account.
I have:
- checked the Facebook box in the calendars to use in the calendar app
- Facebook app installed
- Facebook calendar syncing with the device (according to sync settings)
- Facebook contacts linked with Google contacts (however birthdays do not show up on the contact sheet of each contact)
- rebooted several times
Anyone any tips?
After a Facebook update I had to login again into Facebook and give HTC Sense permission again, then all of a sudden the Facebook events and birthdays appear again in my HTC Calendar. I'm a happy camper again.

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 I just received my galaxy, so possible a NOOB problem.
The problem is that I have a google calendar, and on my phone it sees both the appointments I have done on the phone and the google appointments - so this is fine.
If I make a appointment via a computer at the net on the google calendar, then it will show up on the phone calendar - this is fine.
BUT if I make an appointment on the phone - it will not show up on the google calendar on the net.
It seems like the phone uses "My Calendar" which is not synced with the google calendar - so have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you did the calender mark did you choose google calender and not the phone calender?? take a close look so u have choose that before apply the appointment/mark in the cal. when you set the day/clock under that you can choose what calender to use....I missed that too...
Ok thanks - found the setting.
Is it possible to change the behaviour, so that when you make an appointment on the phone it is by default using the google calendar and not the phone calendar?
I dont think you can set it as default..not sure. With some app maybe? I just have my Galaxy for 4 days so everything is new
Thanks, compared to me you are very experienced (had mine for 1 day)
I would also be interested in a way to change the default.
Additionally I'd like to have the automatically created birthday events appear in one of my Google calendars, not in the phone calendar. Has anybody an idea on how to do that?
It says "with Google" on the phone, if I'm selling my soul to Google, at least I'd like to do it completely and thoroughly.
I'm syncing with my Yahoo Calendars, my 2 Gmail account Calendars
also contact from those 3 accounts too, and IM from MSN, google, yahoo, tweeter, facebook
this phone is Amazing! at keeping everything in sync
just make sure on the account page your accounts are all with the Green sync circle

Not sure about the discrepancy. But FB on HTC Sense does a better job than Facebook sync. FB on HTC Sense stores contact photo in separate DB thus retaining resolution while Facebook sync stores photo in default Android contact DB and resolution will be degraded after gmail sync.
Hi All,
does anyone know if you can sync facebook birthday to the galaxy note stock calendar?
i know that you can setup the facebook birthday on the google calendar but the galaxy note calendar doesnt seem to sync with the facebook birthdays..
it only shows the original google calendar events even though google calendar shows the normal events plus fb birthdays too...
anyone experience this issue or there is a work around it ?
cheers
Kev
I signed in to the stock Social Hub with my FB account and somewhere in the settings of SH you can choose to sync FB agenda items.

Does google calendar work on HTC One?
I know there were heaps of problems with google calendar on HTC One X, and when you uninstalled the google calendar, the HTC calendar no longer worked and you had to do a factory reset to fix it.
I don't want to go through that hell again, and haven't rooted my HTC One, so can't back it up /try/ restore if stuffed.
Anyone tried it?
It's a totally new version of Sense, HTC calendar and google calendar.. I'm not game to get punched in the face again..

Calendar issue
I have "Contacts Birthday's and Events" calendar subscribed in my Gmail and I maintain the birthday dates of all my contacts in Gmail [format: December DD, YYYY]. In HTC calendar [Accounts] i checked the Google option and in that i checked "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option, which takes the birthdays dates from my Gmail contacts and sets reminders and notifications. But I am not able to see any notifications from the calendar.
Now, i have another option in HTC Calendar Accounts called "People (Birthdays & Anniversaries)" and i have no idea where this option came from and from where it takes the birthday data from but it displays the birthdays. The annoying thing is when an event is about to occur this People thing displays 4 reminders for the same event, which is irritating.
I want to know where this People option came from and from where its taking the data and why the hell cant i see the Gmail contacts birthdays through the "Contacts Birthday's and Events" option??? :crying:
