[Q] Facebook birthdays shows on lockscreen although unchecked - HTC One X

Hi!
This is really annoying.
I have unchecked every calendar except my main one.
But the birthdays from the Facebook-calendar is still showing as a notice on the lockscreen. Is there someway around this? Or do I have to send an error report to HTC?
Cheers

Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Productivity* > Settings > Display calendar events from... and select/deselect ones you want to show.
*this assumes you are using this particular theme/skin for locked screen.
I was doing the same as you, thought unchecking the FB calendar in Calendar options/settings would do the trick but no joy - took me a while to figure this out!
Hope it works.

Tryed that,didn't work,i think is a lock screen bug,i am using MILocker now.

As stated above. I does not work, that was the first thing I tried.

It worked for me.
Are you both stock or custom & are you running latest Facebook version?
Perhaps try uninstalling the Facebook app, clearing the app cache & re-installing might help. Then deselect Facebook calendar under app sync options, calendar view and then lock screen settings just to be thorough.
Failing that, not sure what else to try except a hard reset if it bothers you that much!

update intervals of facebook linked profiles?

Hi,
I linked some contacts with facebook (Not with the "Facebook app"), but the standard linkage that comes with the phonebook.
How do I check/set when it should automatically update the info, ie: picture,status etc.?
Thanks
As far as I know you can only have it update in 2hr intervals or manually, to switch between these two options
SF3D Contacts
--> All People
--> 3rd Icon at the bottom of the Contacts page( 'Man hiding behind a clock')
--> Menu
-->Data Connectrion setting
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks !
Wondering if interval of updates can be manually set by registry tweaks. I even tried to find where it can be but found nothing yet...
Anyone know why I suddenly don't have the third icon at the bottom? It was there before...
Whenever I try to link people to my Facebook account it doesn't work either, it just goes back to the contact info page
Did you install a background on all tabs cab? some of them screw up facebook integration. There is a fix for it out there.
Yeah, I have that installed. Could you give me the link to the post with the fix or maybe the fix itself?
Here is the fix.

[Q] Disable contact pictures

hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port
If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.
I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.
Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!
Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.
arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!
Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

Calender Notification on Lock Screen

Hi Guys,
Loving the One X so far!
One annoyance that I can seem to figure out is with the lockscreen set to productivity and showing birthdays via calendar, it only shows upcoming birthday's (tomorrow)
Anyone know how to get the lock screen calendar notification to show todays birthdays/appointments ?
Thanks!

Go to the menu to adjust lock screens. They chose the 2nd one (productivity) and press "Settings", 4th item says "Show calendarevents" click that one.
Now chose all the calendars you want to show on the lock screen. (Most likely the one with birthdays isn't check, so just check that one and the other calendars you want to see)

Thanks for your help.
I have tried what you are saying and selected all the calendars. The problem is not that the birthdays dont show, its that the notification shows the birthdays for tomorrow and not today, thats the issue here. Wondering how to set the notifications to show todays calendar events

Kinda beats the point then doesnt it? Having it on the notification screen is to remind us of what is due today, rather than tomorrow yeah?

All appointments in the future (also for today) are shown. Your problem is that birthdays normally add as all-day-event and this is already begon (at midnight) and therefore it is not shown.
A workaround can be to change the event to a time in the future (such as 23pm).

[Q] cant get rid of facebook calendar in lockscreen

Hi.
I have setup my lockscreen to show the Productivity Screen.
My agenda is set up to only show my gmail agenda.
Still I only get Facebook notifications shown on lockscreen.
What am I doing wrong here?
grtz,
Twan
nobody?? really??
yes, this is a bumperpost.
Hi,
i am on 1.29 FW and the problem still exists. You can choose the calendars you want to see, but i think HTC forgets to check these settings when showing the entries on the screen.
I hope they fix this in a upcoming FW
I've only just started using this setting so I've not had any Facebook events appear yet but I noticed when you click on a calendar event it takes you to the HTC calendar app where it showed the Facebook calendar. I have unselected it in there and will see how I get on
I have set up mycalendars to not show any Facebook events. It keeps puzzling me.
grtz, Twan
I think is a bug,the only way you can remove the facebook calendar is to go into settings>accounts and remove the facebook account..
I disabled the Facebook calendar sync (settings-accounts-facebook-calendarsync) can't check yet; as there are still some items today.... w'll see....
grtz, Twan
neither the sw upgrade to 29.401.11 nor the setting mentioned in the previous post solves this.
You can swipe through your today calender items on the lockscreen (left + right).
I have this problem too, is it definitely a bug? does anyone know if its fixed in any of the custom ROMs?
I've had this issue since day 1 on my HOX, its made me stop using the Productivity lockscreen unfortunately.
Hope its fixed soon
I've just noticed this too - very annoying! Is there no fix for this then and if not has anyone raised a case ticket with HTC?

Aha! Resolved. Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Settings and at the bottom you can choose which calendars & subsequently their notifications appear on the locked screen.

Hi Gulioth.
Have you actually read the reason for this topic?
The HOX just does not "disable" the FB calendar after you deselect it.
It keeps showing the FB calendar.

[Q] New mails don't appear in the Lock Screen

Hi. I am very satisfied with my HTC ONE X. There is just one thing bothering me: It seems to be impossible to display the new arriving mails on my Lock Screen (Productivity). Missed calls, new text messages and my calendar events are no problem, but there is now way to get the new mails on that screen. The settings are correct, but I still don't unsterstand why it doesn't work....
Waiting for HTC support is like hoping for Jesus to appear in front of you ...
By the way, I am using the official Gmail App for my mailing. I also read in another forum that the HTC guys are not to blame: The problem would be coming from Google...
So, what shall I do, did I miss something ?
Does anyone have an idea to help me out, would be highly appreciated !

Are you using a third party launcher? I have found that the Rosie launcher needs to be running in memory for the mail notification to update on the lock screen. It doesn't however have to be your primary launcher. Just create a shortcut to it and launch it whenever the notification icons stop updating. I haven't taken the time to figure out if Android kills the launcher from memory or not during use.
If you go to settings > personalise > lock screen style then go to the productivity option and select settings if you go to the 'display mail from' option it will only allow you to select the accounts you have in the default mail app.
This is slightly odd though as the calendar display options allow you to display calendar items from many more sources that you have already configured (Facebook, Google etc.)
Just for clarification, I have a fully stock HOX.
Thank you for your replies guys. It has strictly nothing to do with thirdpard launchers, or with the settings. It simply doesn't work because it is not the default mail program I am using. Sad but true...

I recently figured that out as well it won't show official Gmail app emails, you need to configure your gmail account into HTCs mail app which is not too bad for Gmail saying that.
