Hi, I cant see my contacts' birthdays in HTC calendar, although I have it ticked in calendars to display... anyone has a clue why?
I noticed that too and here is my workaround. The nice thing is that you now also have the birthdays on your Google Calendar on your PC.
For your Google contacts you can add a seperate calender from Google Calendar:
1. Go to https://www.google.com/calendar/renderOnline?tab=mc
2. -> Settings -> Calendars -> Browse interesting calendars -> More
3. Activate "Contacts birthdays"
For your Facebook friends, you can:
1. Use the Facebook iCal service from fbCal and add the calender to your Google calendar.
Link: www.fbcal.com (I had to use the alternative URL to make it work : www.menuo.ch)
OK, I already figured out the Facebook birthdays through FBcal. But I still have a problem with the birthdays I entered into my contacts in the phone, those I cant sync with either Google or the calendar in the phone.
I've had the Desire for 3 days and spent a lot of this time managing contacts. But it was all fun
Is this phone amazing or what? I just cant put it down...

Just Sync your phone with outlook. Outlook will create reminders for every birthday of your contacts. Then outlook callendar will sync with your phone! Voila!
Damn, I dont use Outlook I hate it. But if it's the only way so be it.
Shouldn't the phone do it automatically? I hope future updates will fix this.

Go to google calendar on your pc,
Choose to view other peoples calenders (like Chinese holidays etc)
Within the option is a add on calender that will sinc your contacts birthdays into the calender.

I'm having a problem with syncing birthdays from my Google Calendar.
The first time I did it I did it exactly the way you said. I synchronized my contacts with Google Contacts including birthdays using EboBirthday Contact Sync and it worked perfectly. I ticked Contacts' birthdays and there they were all in my Google Calendar and in my phone calendar.
The problem now is I've added some more birthdays, I can actually see them in both my Google Contacts and my Google Calendar but they don't sync with my phone calendar. Is there any workaround for that?
Hi,
I have a little annoying problem with my contacts. SMS from Google Calendar and from my mobile provider show up as if they where sent from a Facebook account. The facebook contact has bogus phone numbers ("ob" for landline, "07 no idea" for mobile). Both the messages from Google and my mobile provider don't have real sender numbers ("Google" and "Orange CH", respectively), so I guess the contact app thinks that "ob" is close enough to "Google" and "Orange CH".
I feel kind of stupid to go ask my facebook contact to remove his bogus phone numbers simply because my phone has a bug. Are there any other options? I haven't linked that facebook contact to any other contact, I wouldn't bother if that single contact wouldn't get synced to my phone, but I haven't found such a setting.
Same problem here.That particular contact exist only as FB contact.I would like to remove all FB contacts from my phone which is not linked with phone/Google contacts,but if I remove FB sync,all other contacts lose their pic from FB.
Hope HTC or Google will found a solution soon.

I have this too. And messages from voicemail all come from a friend called Abi!
All I want to do with Hotmail is simply sync it so I get email alerts but even tho I've only got email sync ticked, I still end up with dozens of dodgy number such as "077 get stuffed" and such that's being dragged from contacts on Hotmail and dodgy email addys of people I might have talked to once ten years ago on MSN messenger being put in my contacts.
Also with haxsync, it hasn't pulled some contact pictures from Facebook no matter how many times I sync. Why's that?

Are you using the email client or a different app for Hotmail, coz I had the same problem.
The remedy: delete your Hotmail account and when adding another one make sure sync contacts and calendar are not checked. You have to erase the account otherwise you can't delete those contacts already downloaded.
Hope this helps.

Hi there,
I have an exchange account which I am synching to my Nexus, including calendar, tasks, emails and contacts. For calendar, tasks and email I am using touchdown which works just perfect. My problem is the contacts sync.
I am still using the stock exchange client to sync my contacts, however I would love to sync only a specific group of contacts. Of course I can just sync all and the not display the groups I don't want, but they are still there and are annoying in som cases. I am not using touchdown for this, because touchdown doesn't sync birthdays to the contacts app.
I tried moxier and roadsync. Both don't seem to solve my problem. I would be greatful if anyone had a suggestion for another app, a setting or whatever to solve my problem.
Thanks
hmm... almost a hundread views, but no reply. So I guess I am asking for something that doesn't exist.
I have been trying to sync my Facebook contacts but it is not working. Is this a Facebook issue? I went to settings and added the Facebook account. I checked sync with your device. But just above that it says sync is off. I opened the Facebook app and went to the settings. There is no longer a box to check that says sync contacts. I tried using haxsync but it failed to pull any contact information.

The sync assistant only adds the info of the already existing contacts on your device
(At least that's what I've been told in the past.):cyclops:

It isn't doing that. Other accounts added the info right away. It is just the Facebook account that won't sync
