Hi guys.
Since the last update 2.2.1 I've got a strange issue on my desire HD.
On my HTC agenda, I enabled the facebook calendar which allows me to see my friend s upcoming birthdays. However those facebook birthday events appear correctly on 1st day i activate it. But the day after all the facebook events appear twice. And the day after 3 times, and then 4.........
Only way to solve it is to delete my facebook for htc sense account, and to set it up again. But on day 2 it starts again........
Am I the only one ?
Same problem here ! Mon poto !
Someone has a fix ?
Did you try to delete cash of Calendar app:
Settings-applications-manage applications-(tab) Running-Calendar-clear data
After cleaning - do a synchronization with Google, HTC, Facebook, etc.
Regards.
I change rom every weeks so yes I have test a lot of things.
Thanks for your reply

Got a big problem with ActiveSync on the Desire.
Mail and Contacts sync just fine, but it gets to Calendar, tries a dew times then says "Synchronization is experiencing problems".
(Actually this time it;s just trying again and again and not stopping for some reason!)
I noticed a few comments about this in another thread about a cooked rom, but no solutions.
Anyone got a solution?
If not, how do I go about troubleshooting/looking at logs? I'm a WM man and this is my 1st Android baby.
Cheers!
Not much help other that to say my calendar is syncing fine to Exchange.
HTC Sync 2.0.33
HTC released a new version of HTC Sync version 2.0.33, give it a try and see if it solves your problem.

Cheers guys,
The problem was actually with the mailbox. Well, kind of, cos my WM6.5 machine synced fine with all the calendar items, but HTC Sync apparently has a problem with recurring item (according to very helpful supporty), so I cleared out loads of old calendar items and it was happy.
Will try the new version...
Hey there. I've a problem with my Facebook synced contacts. The birthdays are all wrong by one day. If I look at one of these contacts then there is the birthday if written in and the facebook birthday which is wrong. Any idea how to solve this?
greetz Floh
upz for you as its happening to me as well ...
used to happen to windows mobile 6 when birthday was all day event and phone registrered birthday to next or previous day (i think it was previous). after several different sync i had 2 or 3 birthdays for each contact. really annoing.
i find that this is also happening in the new OTA 2.2 sense roms.
does anyone has a fix for this?
me too!! its just weird. And only some of the contacts (probably about 20%) are having such problems. The rest are fine.
help?
bringing this issue back for discussion.
I have similar problems with the facebook birthday sync it is one day earlier.
However, when i access the facebook page in the browser, the birthday is correct!
Makes me wonder if it could be due to time zone difference, as in the syncing is not adjusted for time zone differences.
for e.g. i'm in Singapore GMT +8:00. But in facebook, maybe its default is US time which is GMT -4 to -7, yet I cannot find anyway for me to choose my region and timezone in the facebook website, not in account settings or profile or etc...
Are people facing this problem living outside USA?
Mine was wrong by one month!
Anyone hv any idea ? I also facing the same problem. Birthday wrong by one day in calendar ....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Same problem here. Not all, but many birthdays are off by one day (displayed 1 day earlier).
Yup.. can be embarrassing , my friend at work had " two " birthdays ... was not sure so I broyght her a card on the wrong day ...a month early ...
Same thing here.
Mine too, I ended up putting everyone's birthday's that I cared about in manually.
Would be interested in a proper solution.
You can easily export your birthdays from Facebook to your PC and sync it with your Google Calendar. Later sync the whole thing with your HTC, works like a charm to me.
It has something to do with the time zone. I switched it from Central Time to GMT and the birthdays went from behind one day off to the correct day. Not sure how to fix it.
Hi there,
When I sync/link my Contact with Facebook, I got wrong birth date for all of my contacts. The birth date shown in contacts are earlier by 1 day. Example, if my friend put their birth date in Facebook 5th November, when I sync my contact, it will shown as 4th November.
I wonder if there are others experiencing the same and is there any workarounds? TQ in advance.

have a same problem to.
I had a similar problem.
I think the problem is caused when you have multiple inputs (links) for a single contact (eg PC Sync, Facebook, SIM, etc).
The easiest thing to do is to un-link your contact, see if you've got a birthday for him or her in any other input (apart from facebook). Remove the birthday in the other links, then re-link it all up.
This should solve the issue.
I only store my contacts in my gmail account, in which mostof those contacts in my gmail do not have birthday specified. All birthday date are from facebook. But still I have this problem. When I check their facebook profiles, the date are correct. So the problem must be when Desire show the date in "people" contact.
At first I thought the problem was caused by the ROM I installed. I have tried many ROM - Defrost, NextSense, AuraxtSense, CM, LeeDroid. All of them the same. I wonder why..

could it be to do with timezones?
something trying too hard to get the birthdays correct in real time so you don't send the well wishes to your friend on the other side of the date line 1 day too early or too late?
Hi
I have seven calendars being synced and displayed together on my phone calendar application (HTC Desire Android 2.2 stock). One calendar containing my University schedules is suddenly toast, meaning that all regularly occuring events won't be visible anymore on my phone.
On calendar.google.com, as well as on my other calendar clients Windows Live Mail and Outlook 2010, my calendar seems perfectly fine. The calendar I'm talking about is linked to my primary Gmail Account, as are three other calendars. What did I do, and what can I do to fix this?
Single events are still visible...
Thank you in advance.
It just happened again! I lost all my recurring events on one of my calendars; my phone won't display them anymore. On calendar.google.com everything is still visible. Just like in my mail client.
Why does this keep happening to me?
Solution: I just found a quick workaround. In the HTC calendar app, just remove the calendar, then wait for synchronization. After that, add it again and synchronize again. Everything's displayed. I guess it might be a software bug.
Hello all. I've just set up my new Desire (2.2) with HTC Sync 3.0.5422. I'm synching calendars and contact with Outlook 2007. The contacts are working well both ways, but the calendar only syncs one way, from PC to phone. If I create or modify items on the phone, they do not show up in Outlook.
Anyone got any idea why this would happen? HTC Sync doesn't give any error messages, and all other sync activities seem to be working OK.
Thanks for any help!
you sure you are adding them to the right calendar on the phone? the default is a google calendar, you need to select pc sync from the drop down box (at the top of the page of create calendar item)
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am creating them in the "PC Sync" calendar. They have the green bar next to them like the items that have come from Outlook.
no idea then sorry, but to save you some time mine did that as well. I tried reinstalling HTC Sync a couple of times and a factory reset of the phone and it still didn't work (had no issues with the previous version) so I use gsyncit now instead.
OK, thanks for trying. I don't really want to be forced to do a sync with google calendar at the moment though. Anyone got any other ideas why this might be? Perhaps a security setting in Outlook or something?
I remember you have an option to sync calendar:
- from PC to phone
- from phone to PC
- using "last updated" feature - this one suits me best.
Look at sync options in calendar view in HTC SYnc.
Thanks for that, but I don't seem to be able to find the option you're referring to. Are you talking about HTC Sync on the PC (version 3.0.5422)? Where are the "Options"?
Here:

Oh right. Yes, I've tried all three settings on that, but I think that's only to do with items that have been updated on both devices prior to sync, so it know which one takes priority. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Has anyone out there managed to get 2 way calendar sync with Outlook 2007 and Desire 2.2 using HTC Sync 3? I've now seen many posts on other forums about this exact same problem, but they don't seem to be getting resolved!
Just another quick advise.
A story first: I have had a lot of redundand meetings in my Desire callendar. So I decided to make a cleanup of callendar entries by simply clearing the calendar cache. Succesed, but..
Seems like no longer meetings what were in my exchange (2003) up to cache deletion were able to re-sync. I discovered that new entries - just added after the cleanup have been imported successfully. Seemed like to only good solution was to format the phone to re-start the calendar service blank. But, I have installed the Google Sync tool and synced Outlook with Google calendar (I know, privacy etc...). It worked. I uninstalled the Sync tool and now I have all my "old" meetings in Google calendar, and new meetings being directly sync through HTC Sync.
Maybe you try to sync through Google?
Or just try to install the previous version of HTC Sync (2.x)

Well, I logged this problem with HTC tech support, and after going through the usual checks, they've admitted that there is a problem with HTC Sync:
"This is a problem with HTC Sync 3.0 and is under investigation and a new version will be out soon.
Please keep checking our website for when the update comes out."
A shame really, as it seems to do everything else just fine for me. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.
I had so many problems with HTC Sync, I did away with it and use a combination of Google Calendar Sync and MyPhoneExplorer for contacts. so far everything it syncing nicely.
I'va just tried the latest version.
The first time it did work.. but the second time I got an error and I had to restart htc sync. Since that error htc sync stopped to sync events from phone to PC.
Seems to be fixed with new version of HTC Sync
Yesterday an update was available to HTC Sync, bringing it up to version 3.0.5481. This seems to have fixed the problem I was having, meaning that calendar entries I create/edit on my phone are now synced back to my PC Outlook Calendar.
This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the release notes, but it now seems to be working for me, so I'd recommend upgrading if anyone else is having this problem!
Lee
Still not there
I am on 3.0.5481 but still exact same problem: existing calendar entries are not synched. Only the new created ones get synched.
In HTC Sync 2 there was a "repair" option to force a complete synch from PC to Phone (or viceversa), but I have not found Repair in the new V3.
If anyone gets any news please update the thread. I guess there are lots of people who would like to be able to synch all their existing meetings.
Can someone with the latest version confirm that the following issues are fixed?
Corruption of email addresses that stops outgoing mail from Outlook being sent
Corruption of phone numbers stopping phone from sending texts
Cannot use HTC Sync on more than one PC - eg work and home
Have you looked at 3.0.5481?

Had an email from HTC to say that the app will now work on more than one PC!
Still worrried about the other two and as MPE is working well at the moment am not tempted to try it.
Working again.

I was having the exact problem mentioned: Outlook calendar stopped syncing properly using HTC Sync even though contacts were syncing just fine. After reading this I tied adding new entries to my Outlook calendar and sure enough they were added to my phone. Went through and remade all of my future appointments and now my calendar seems to be in order again.
Does anyone know what the hell caused this?
(Also, my signature needs updating!)
If you give up on HTC Sync you might want to look at MyPhoneExplorer as an alternative. I find it a lot less destructive.
