I too have this issue, I cannot see my calendar (important), nor can I see any of my zoe's (not that they really matter).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

For info, i'm on stock firmware with Telus (canada).
Right now all my calendar event are save in my Gmail account.
I tried saving the event in different calendar (tried theme all), and no one show in Blinkfeed.

Got it!

Spoke with HTC this is what they said...
"We appreciate you took the time to provide us with that information. To solve this situation w will remove the email account where the calendar was synced. To do so, please go Settings > accounts and sync > tap on the account > once it is open tap and hold on the bar where the name of the account is displayed and select remove. Now please set it up again and make sure the calendar will be filled. Now please go to Calendar > tap on the Three dots Menu > Accounts > + button > select account > fill the fields. Go to blinkfeed screen, Swap down slowly to reveal a menu > Tap on the three dots menu > Topics and services > slide to the left and select calendar.
Then you can check on the main screen of the blinkfeed and make sure all your events are being displayed there."
I did this, and rebooted and voila it was there.
One thing I should point out is that I had to add a 'Hotmail Account' (under accounts & sync) before it would work, simply adding my Sympatico account to 'mail' did not provide me with the same options. Also, you do not have to delete the 'mail' icon from your task bar/panel as it will start to grab your mail from the 'hotmail account'. Lastly, if there are no calendar events for 'today' you may not see the calendar event until it is the correct day. Hope this helps.
I am new to HTC so I can try to help you further if required but no promises. If I have broken any form rules please forgive me.
Cheers,

[SOLVED] Reprogramming MESSAGING button to open a specific email account

Greets,
Does anyone know if its possible to reprogram the messaging button to open a specific email account rather than the full on messaging menu (which includes "setup email" and "outlook email").
Thanks

In your Inbox, click Menu -> Tools -> Options That should bring up the account setup screen and at the bottom is a box that says "Display account picker when opening Messaging" Unchecking that box should take you to your default email account.

Thank you!
...but this opens last account you used. so, if you click sms icon in HTC Home, the next time you click mail icon in HTC Home it will take you to sms inbox.

Synch Multiple Calendars?

My wife and I have each other's calendar available to each other. So on the web, we can click one or or off to see each on together or separate, and each in a different color.
I currently fine that my calendar is on the phone, but not my wife's. Do I need to 'add and account' to see hers? If so, will it be in a different color? Can I easily filter between hers and mine if I have them both on the phone?
Thanks for any thoughts.

on my current android phone that syncs all of my calendars (including my wifes) downloaded automatically in different colors.
You didn't have to 'Add and Account' and add hers? It just came down because you have it shared?
Good Nesws!
Guess what. I tried our dear friend, Google.
Here is the answer:
1. Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Menu >.
2. Select Settings and then Applications.
3. Select Manage applications.
4. Press < Menu >, the select "Filter."
5. Select "Running."
6. Select Calendar Storage.
7. Press "Clear data."
8. Wait for everything to re-sync.
​Hope this helps someone else.
I'm assuming that you are talking about multiple Google calendars. I'm trying to do the same. I'm able to do this on the Aria but not the Captivate. I tried to follow the same steps in settings but the "add calendar" step (that shows other Google calendars I'm subscribe to) is missing on the Captivate.
Yes, Google CAlendars.
I don't follow you though. In the instructions I listed above, there is no instruction to select "Add Calendar".
I have the multiple calendars for ONE login. So I manager calendars once logged in, and added my Work calendar.
For my wife's calendar, we just turned on sharing of her calendar with mine and it is on the list of calendars to replicate.
If you are wanting to bring down a different calendar with a different login, then you need to go into the calendar program; select Menu, CAlendar Sync, then on that screen at teh bottom will be a button "Add Accounts". I didn't want to use that for my wife's because then when I go to the sync settins, I have 2 optoins: Sync Contacts, and Sync Gmail. I don't want to sync her mail, or contacts, just the calendar.
SUCCESS!

Thank you a bunch!
Glad it helped you. I've gotten a lot of help on this forum. Its nice to know I can contribute value.

Hi,
I cant find what you mentioned. Could you write a step by step if you dont mind please, just incase anyone has the same issue ?
1 . Click on Settings Tile
2 . ......etc......
Thanks in advance !!!
settings
email and contacts
tap an email address
select which content you want to synchronize
there is one exception though, your primary Live account, you can only select to sync your mail or not, the contacts will always get sync'd, I kinda got the mess under control via syncing facebook and only showing contacts that matched in email / facebook.
Here's how it SHOULD work:
Swipe to app list
Settings
Swipe to 'applications' settings
select 'people'
swipe down to list of accounts
select the account you don't want contacts for
deselect 'people' from the 'content to synchronise' set of checkboxes.
Sadly, that isn't an option for my Live login, so I have weird random MSN contacts in my list of people alongside the Exchange contacts I actually want.
Annoying! Also, you can't delete the Live account.

Thanks again guys !

Problems with Google Calendars?

Tonight my Google calendar events in every calendar bar the default calendar stopped appearing in the phone. I can still see them in Google calendar via the web browser but they no longer appear in the calendar app. I've checked all the settings within calendar and the various Google calendars still appear there and are ticked to sync and show in the app but events from other calendars do not. Any ideas?
I had the same problem before. I fixed it by following the instructions from the quote below. This is from the google mobile help forum posted by BSteck. You should backup your default (on the phone) calendar before doing this.
Don't know if this is the best way to solve the problem, but this has worked for me.
On my HTC Phone (running Android 2.2), I went to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Calendar Storage. I then pushed "Clear Data" and then "Force Stop" (because I wanted it to reload).
The phone paused for a brief moment when returning to Home and then the calendar was syncing to my gmail calendars. I figure that as long as all your information is backed up at gcal, you should be fine. Good luck!

Thanks. That worked.
No problem =]
Dunno why this happens but at least this fixes the issue. Annoying when you don't have calendars showing up.

[Guide] How to get Facebook Sync to work. [Should work for all phones]

So after having an issue getting my Facebook to sync with my contacts I went through a lot of effort to find a solution. I eventually found the issue that was causing Facebook not to sync. At some point the Facebook app removed the sync option entirely from their app. Older versions had an option that you could enable contact syncing.
So to fix the problem first uninstall Facebook.
The next step is to go to Settings->Security and tick the option Unknown sources. This will allow you to sideload apps.
Then go to http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/facebook/facebook-31-0-0-20-13-android-apk-download/ and download the Facebook apk.
Then open up a file explorer and go to your downloads folder.
Tap the apk you just installed and then click install. You may need to press next a few times first or scroll down through the permissions.
After this press login and once you're at the main page for the app press the menu button.
Tap Settings.
Scroll all the way to the bottom where you will find Sync Contacts.
Tap Sync Contacts where you will be given three options. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
After that go to your phone's settings again
Find and tap Accounts & Sync
Tap the plus sign
Tap Facebook
Go through all you need to go through
Then when your back at the Accounts & Sync page tap Facebook
Make sure the checkbox next to Contacts is checked
At this point you can go to your People app and sync your contacts
I highly recommend you make sure Facebook cannot auto-update
To do this go to Play Store
Tap the three bars at the upper left
Tap My Apps
Go to Facebook and tap it
Then press the menu button
A menu should popup that has an Auto-update option with a checkmark. Make sure it is unchecked.
A little side note you will get notifications in Facebook to update. Just ignore them you do not have to update.
