[Q] Import Birthdays from Facebook to Contacts - Defy General

I stumbled over this topic when my sister asked me if her cousin was younger or older than her... My contact list couldn't tell me.
I have no clue why the on-board facebook app doesn't sync birthdays of contacts as well.
After some research I found EboBirthday, which does exactly what I want - however, even though it imports all of the birthdays, the export function only exports about 10% of them to my contacts.
I couldn't find any other app for that purpose, all of them just export to calender.
Anyone got an idea? Is this fixed in Froyo or Gingerbread so I just have to wait for a new ROM?

Can I hide the contacs of MSN in "contactcs" ?

I have many contacts of the MSN and is difficult to move by the agenda.
Excuse me for my English
hi
i had to manually delete all my msn contacts from my hotmail acct do not have them synced into my address book on ppc.. its one of the most ridiculous features of live messenger! is there an easy way to NOT have them shown in the address book ?????
I'd also like to know if we have a "trick" to remove those contacts from the smartphone's contact directory *without* deleting them from Homtail's contact list.
Thanks

I have come to realize that I probably will have to live with it as is. This new version gives you the option to consolidate your phone contacts with the messenger contacts and boy did I hate the duplicates in the older version. Maybe the next version will give us a chance to keep them out of the contacts list.

Sync Phone with Google Calendar

Hello everyone,
I have an O2 Xda Orbit, onto which I have installed the marvellous ROM created by Tom (Version 4.1). Since I have now left my old job, I no longer have the luxury of an Exchange server to store my calendar appointments.
I discovered that I can use Google calendars, and give access to everyone to see where I am, but I cant find a usable application to run on the phone that will keep the appointments in sync. let me explain.
Most of the apps offer a "free" version that will only sync 3 days ahead, good for testing, crap for normal use. In addition, I use Re occurring appointments, which dont seem to be copied over to google.
Does anyone know of a good app that will sync in both directions between my phone and my online calendar. If I had to move away from Google and use hotmail or similar, then thats fine too.
Thanks guys, youre all great
one week ago I started to use GooSync. It works very well. Take a look....
Emm, i think it was OggSync..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Both are google calender apps
Goosync worked well with me. I have my shift pattern programmed, so it's always recuring with no issues
I think both have a free version if you only use one calender

Google Calendar Sync
As long as you are happy to sync using your PC then ...
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.
Cheers

I use it to save my contacts when i hard-reset. havn't had any problems yet.

Issue with "left over" HTC Facebook details in contacts

So, I've flashed to Cyanogen 6.0.0 RC1. This removes the HTC Facebook stuff. The one thing I liked about the HTC Facebook stuff was that it allowed you to manually link Facebook contacts when the names didn't exactly match.
Well now simply relying on the inherent Facebook syncing, there are some contacts no longer linked, and the ones no longer linked have a Notes field in the contacts with the tags <HTCFacebook>...</HTCFacebook> on em. Whats the best way to clean all that up?
Never mind, simply exported the CSV using GMail, edited, and re-imported. Durr.

[Q] User Contact Photo

So a couple of things:
First off I'm not new to android but I am new to jelly bean (skipped from 2.3 to 4.2.2 soooo ya)
Second, I understand that google has removed the ability to sync your contact photos with facebook but, I'm running Carbon 1.4 and just yesterday I went to add a contact who I'm friends with on facebook to my gmail contact list through the people app and as I was typing her name her facebook contact popped up and I was asked if I'd like to merge the two and I did so I got her contact photo, the whole shebang. Which was highly unexpected but equivalently awesome.
But now I have the problem of in the quick settings panel there's the profiles button with, what's supposed to be my contact listing, has no picture, no number, nada also it's saved on my local "SD" not my gmail so it cannot be synced when flashing new ROMs. So when I go to edit my contact information I can add everything manually, but I have my own contact listing in my contact synced with my gmail that I'd prefer to link it to so I don't have to re-setup my own picture and stuff each time I reflash a rom.
SO my question is, is there a way to sync my personal contact information with facebook and gmail or even just gmail so the information never changes?
thank you
