The HTC calendar has added reminders for all my calender events, but I don't want them. I've removed all reminders from my google calendar and synced but they are still there, and in the calender settings on the desire the default reminder time cannot be set to "none".
The only way I can see to remove all reminders is one by one editing each event. Is there a quicker way to do this?

You could try in calendar, clicking menu, then more, then calendars, and selecting which calendars you want displayed. But I dont know if it only works with the htc calendar.
in froyo you can now sync facebook events along with birthdays, but is there anyway to leave out the birthdays and only have the events on the calendar ... having everyones birthday in the calendar is really annoying but having the events sync is awesome ... thanks
The og epic did this no problem and I miss it. I have my FB set up thru social hub and have calendar sync checked off so what's the prob??

I used to have that working myself but then timezones on events were all messed up so I was forced to find another way.
So what I did was a bit of an end-around that uses your Google account's calendar. If you don't want to sync to Google calendar then this won't work.
If you do, go to your Facebook Events page. There's a link called "Export". That will pop up a message with a webcal://... link. Copy that link to your clipboard.
Then go into your Google calendar using a computer browser (sign in to the account you sync to your phone). Click the little dropdown triangle next to the "Other calendars" section on the left-hand sidebar and choose "Add by URL". Paste the URL that you copied from Facebook into the box and click "Add Calendar".
Now your Facebook events will be in your Google calendar.
If you go to Settings for the Calendar on your phone and select the "Calendars" option, you can pick and choose which of the Google calendars you want to sync. Each will show up as a separate calendar.
If you are obsessive about wishing people a happy birthday, you can also go to the "Birthdays" link under Events on Facebook and follow the same method to export a calendar of all of your Friends' birthdays.

I forgot about this thread lol. After removing all my synced accounts and restoring them manually I got my calendar back up. I guess restoring synced accounts from titanium doesn't do much of a good job.. But thanks for the info bcuz I didn't know I could export a calendar from FB!

Hi all,
I've been using Business Calendar for a while. It synchronises my gmail calendar and also my facebook events/birthdays. This is really useful because I don't need to put an event into my calendar after I've already accepted it.
Since switching to a custom ROM (JellyTime), Business Calendar does not seem to recognise my facebook account on the phone so I cannot get it to synchronise the facebook events. The instructions say that it should recognise any calendars on your phone but that does not happen.
Does anyone know how to get facebook events to synchronise with the calendar?
Thanks.
Any thoughts from anyone? Alternatively, does anyone know if you can get the Google calendar to sync with Facebook events?
Thanks.

From Facebook you can export events and birthdays as calendar links that can then be added to your Google calendar. They will then appear as additional calendars on your phone.
I forget exactly how to do it in Facebook, but I think you go to events, click on settings, and then you have the export option. Google it for more details.
Good luck!

Thanks Zamula - your way worked! Just one point of clarification, rather than exporting, you need to right click on the link and copy the address. You can then add it as a Google calendar under Other Calendars. In Business Calendar you can then add the calendars (1 for birthdays, 1 for events) to synchronise them. So far so good, the last thing is whether the calendars auto update. I'll be able to tell that when I'm invited to a new event!
Hi
Is there any way of importing and exporting ics files from splanner. I have multiple calendars and want to import/export my second calendar. I don't want to sync via Google.
I am trying to import calendar from nokia n900.
