I know this is simple, I've done it before, but now I've swapped from LeeDroid to CM7 ROM the calendar is different and I can't find how to sync my facebook birthdays to the calendar.
Anyone care to give me a reminder? Please.
Sync using google calender
1. In Facebook , go to upcoming birthday tab , and click on export birthdays -> provides you with a link
2. Go to google calender and add by URL
paste the URL u got and import
Ta da this is part of ur google calender now
if this is too boring , dere are free apps in market to sync facebbok events just do a search on em
There's a way of doing it on the phone without the need for 3rd party app, I've done it a couple of times before but I can't remember how now.
I do it on the same already described. I do not know any rather way aosp roms, with sense roms one can do it with facebook for htc sense (maybe you mean this way), but you cannot user this with aosp roms.

mate earlier when u set up a facebook account u wud get an option to sync , now only works with sense roms
for aosp roms this does not apply any more , good luck trying lol
The facebook sync also works with aosp roms, but only the contact one.
And I also use the described way for syncing birthdays and events, and it word very good on my aosp rom.

Mate I noticed in ur signature that you have transparent xda app
Any way I could get my hands on it

Yeah, your right. I think it was when I had Leedroid installed that I could do that. Makes sense (no pun intended) now that I can't because it was obviously the HTC Calendar app that could do this but this app isn't on the AOSP ROMs.

I know Facebook fell out with Google about data sharing and stuff.
But I thought currently that only affected Nexus S.. (and new handsets after that).
Just noticed that my desire (currently running 2.3.3) can't sync the facebook calender like it could before on 2.2...
Anyone know if that's by design now?
I would have liked the birthday information coming across even though I rarely use FB.
I guess if I can't get it across I'll export and import it into my google calender... but it was nice to have!
cheers
Hmmm
Extract Facebook events and upload to Google Calender
Do this using a laptop

that's exactly what I was thinking was my last resort.
Not that I can say the FB -> Android calender was any good - I had loads of issues with birthdays duplicating and not showing up, and some showing up from people I had defriended... but it saved me from exporting and importing!
just wondered if any updates to GB was kicking off this 'service' nowadays
there's a nice looking guide here: http://androidforums.com/incredible-tips-tricks/83350-how-sync-contacts-birthdays-calendar.html
This has been bugging me since quite sometime..
Everytime i flash a new ROM on my DHD my google syncs all contacts back to my phone but everytime it asks me to sync them with FB.. And i have to manyallu sync the contacts with FB..
Its a real pain when you got over 2000 Contacts..
Is there anyway that i can let them sync automatically? Or any app which backups the contactcs as well as their FB connections..
(I just need the FB Pics synced with my phone contacts)
Sorry if this is the wrong section but don't know where to post this nor could i find any topic related to this..

I have a similar problem. With each ROM flashed I need to re-sync contacts (Facebook, Skype, etc.). I tried exporting contacts (through People app) and later importing them, hoping my initial sync would be recovered. Instead, I get duplicates. Can't Google store these connections in my Gmail account so that sync will only be done once?
Well i hve the same issue there is no work around.. i know of atleast.

Agreed. I miss sense some times. And all the options. Cookies home tab and max sense for the win lmao. What ROM are you running now?
Sent from the Bat Cave
this happens but for me the FB app usually does it automatically. FB -> Settings -> Contacts Sync -> Sync
you could try installing the htc sense fb app?
However, the FB app doesn't do all of my contacts an I think Google+ pics probably have precedence over FB ones in the default People app, not sure though.
Try facebook sync, free download on Play Store. I used it when I flashed a non-Sense Rom and it worked pretty well. Now I'm back to a Sense Rom so I don't need it anymore.
Edit: Here's the link of the one I used, but you can try other ones.

I had the issue when flashing incredible, did all the sync stuff and got duplicates and old contacts i'd deleted years ago, so i had to sms everyone to see who was who, very annoying. had quite a few "who is this" messages as old numbers were reused for new customers.
I found it hard to believe after I got all my gmail contacts and google + contacts on GN...I got multiple entries of the same person. In HTC sense or tough wiz they usually automatically suggest you to links up those entries. But I look and look though all the options in ICS contact apps, didnt see it. Did google seriously forgot about it?
and none of the facebook contacts show up at all...probably not compatible with ICS yet?
No more Facebook integration after gingerbread.
U can use SyncMyPix. I know it's frustrating but I think this is the best solution available so far

You can link contacts together, but only manual and difficult.
Open contacts, then open person which you would like to link to another, then from top-right menu click "edit". Then click the same menu button again, there is option "join". It's the only way I found to combine contacts together.....

Ive tried this because ive wondered about linking contacts since my XOOM updated to ICS and once you click Join, on the top of the list is a Suggested contact, meaning the same name so its kind of easy to do if you know the multiples.
Most of mine linked automatically if they have the same name on my phone as they do on Facebook. Those that don't I joined manually
Haxsync on Android marker ... syncs pictures with face detection high quality ...and adds them to people automatically including recent posts ... well worth the money

how can i get my contacts to sync with facebook?
try FriendCaster
i dont mind Friendcaster, but are you saying that syncing contacts isnt possible with FB?
Go into the settings of the phone, accounts, add a Facebook account. Doesn't appear you do it through the App itself.
Edited: Well crap, I'm trying to do it through the Accounts in the phone, but when I select Facebook, it doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.

I seem to remember Facebook having a similar issue when the Incredible first came out. There was an update to fix it, so maybe we're looking at a similar situation here?

It can't be done unless you Flash Paul's MoDaCo Rom. For some reason FB doesn't want to use the new API's...lol I don't know the whole story but its not possible with the stock app.

I just want to confirm that Friendcaster will sync your contacts. Just one BIG problem, you will have a ****load of contacts and you cannot filter out the ones without numbers..
Guys, this is because Facebook wasn't abiding by Google's terms, so they removed the option for syncing facebook contacts. The only viable alternative as of now, is installing Friendcaster.

yeh, that works.. but if your like me, i DO use facebook for some of my phone numbers
I remember hearing about this on Cnet's Buzz out loud
This was talked about a while back on Buzz out loud.
At the time Facebook would import from any source but would not export as they didn't want to give that info out.
In other words they were happy to import all your contact data from any other source so they could get ahold of it. But they did not want to return the favor if you wanted to import your contact info from Facebook into the same source you just imported into Facebook from.
This was a while back, so I don't know if this was resolved. Facebook was claiming they were protecting their user's data.
The general feeling was not too good towards facebook on Buzz out loud. Their feeling was the contact data belongs to the person holding the account and they should be able to sync it if they want to.
It is well known that Facebook has bad blood with Google.
Hopefully this situation has changed as this was several months ago. But with Facebook you really never know what they are gonna do.
I see a lot of posts talking about how facebook sync was removed from the core android features.
I think that misses the point.
Facebook sync was a feature in the facebook app in gingerbread (At least, I can confirm this was the case prior to the app update. I'll confess I didn't go looking for it post update).
If it's currently available in gingerbread, I'd expect we'd see it available in ics following an update to fb.
/totally speculating
Carnagey is right. From what I have seen it won't come until that dispute is resolved...

delete the facebook app from your phone first if its on there, because when you sign in through there it doesnt add it on the phones accounts page im assuming

What are your steps you did? Once you download the app you don't even need to open it. As long as you are logged into Facebook (via the official Facebook app) just go to your Accounts in Settings, and press Add account, and then select UberSync. It will then automatically sign in to Facebook, and start syncing after about two minutes. I've never once clicked on the actual app in the app drawer. Give it about ten minutes, and then go to your contacts, and you will see what it did. You may have to "join" some contacts from Facebook to your own manual adds you did, but it works really well when it's all done.

There is no substitute for sync.me on the market. No other app (like ubersync) gives u that much choices and handling of your contacts
Guess we gotta wait for them to fix it . I already read on their website that the problem is from their side and they are working on it

I'm not sure on what choices you mean, but I just use UberSync to simply sync my existing contacts with my Facebook contacts. Simple. What other choice are there to do?

I also WAS a Sync.me user, but I have bad news for us...
For what I read in their official facebook page (wich I can't link here 'cause I have less than 10 posts -.-') they decided to "divide" Sync.me into 2 different apps, one for sync and other for birthdays.
So they launched "Sync.me Birthdays" in the iPhone App Store and now they launched the new Sync.me app for iPhone too and they promise that an Android version will be available soon.
And here are the bad news:

So... time to move on... HaxSync? UberSync? any other...?
