Is there an app or methodology to get Facebook birthdays to sync to the birthday field in your contacts? I know how to add them to my calendar, or have a third-party app display them. I want them to be added to the actual contact record of a person.
Also, is there an app that allows you to add a location to a calendar event by contact. For example, I have my doctor's address in my phone, and would love to be able to select his name to add to events. If this is possible with Google Calendar or S Planner, please describe the steps to accomplish this.
Haxsync is the best, check it out...

If you're on JB you need the workaround for it which is this...

Every Facebook syncing app only syncs a contact's birthday to your calendar...he wants a way to have their birthday under their contact info. I don't think there's a way to automatically do it..but if you have some time you could manually add them. Just..
Edit contact > add new field > event

Well doesn't misreading just suck, lol.
Right, I want it as an event under contacts, but the manual process is what I'm trying to avoid. This seems like a pretty simple idea (as long as contacts have the same name.) Don't know why it's more difficult than adding to a calendar. I guess it's related to the fact that when you sync Facebook contacts their birthdays are not there also.
Haxsync seems to put the birthday under contacts as well its a setting in advanced

I'm looking for an application where my wife and I can synchronize our schedules on a Google calendar but with two different user accounts. For example she is working on a Saturday 7 am – 2 PM. She puts it into a calendar and then I will have it synced to my calendar is that even possible?
Never mind. I added her Gmail account to my phone and then I clicked sync calendar
Worked great

Can also just share calendar from the Google website. Can share with anyone and control write privileged without giving complete access.

Yes, what you've done is going too far and complete overkill. As stated above, just go to the Google Calendar Website, on your pc or Mac, and go to Settings and share your calendar with her. Then go into her Google account and have her share her calendar with you. It will then be visible in your calendar list on your phones to sync.
You are eating unnecessary resources on your phone by doing it the way you are now.

There is another app Acalender that i like a little better personally and if your family is like mine Ourgroceries is a great grocery list app that can be synced. I thought it would be kinda dumb but it works really well. use it all the time.

1) do not bump your own thread within 24 hrs
2) this has been beaten into the ground across all of XDA. so learn to use search.
3) if you want to sync your facebook contacts, get a 3rd party application such as haxsync.
haxsync does not synchronize the contact numbers

Three are lots of good alternative email apps. A few to look at are Cloud Magic, TypeMail, and Mailwise. I. Have tried all three of these with my corporate Exchange account and they work fine.

thanks, i reached out to them.
figured it out, it's because of 2 step authentication. since asus is not using the "new" login method for Microsoft, it doesn't try at all to attempt 2 step authentication so it fails. disable 2 step in security and app works now. add 2 step back and app still works.
Hi,
I may be crazy but when I try to add my Facebook account to the stock Calendar, it's just missing. I do have the facebook app installed and it does show up under Accounts & Sync, under phone settings. I've attached screenshots of both screens. Am I missing something painfully obvious?
Thanks!
Here's the Calendar add accounts screen

I'm not sure if you can add Facebook as a calendar directly like that. However, you can just add get Facebook to sync events with your Google calendar instead..nearly as good: http://www.technipages.com/add-facebook-events-to-google-calendar

Thanks. That's really useful if I want to specific events, but I'd rather something more automated, hence trying to add the account to my calendar.
Sunrise did/does it very well, but is no longer supported so I'm trying to move over to a new calendar system.
Found these instructions online. I thought someone else mind find them useful.
Go to facebook Events.
On right-hand side, under Events Happening This Week, there is a box that says:
"You can add your events to Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. Once you add them, they'll stay updated. Learn More.
Upcoming Events · Birthdays"
Right click on Upcoming Events and open it in a new window. (I tried just right clicking the link to copy, didn't work, so did it in a new window - really the only difference from the above instructions).
Copy the link address.
Go to Google Calendar (this part is just like what they said above in other answers).
Next to Other Calendars, hit the drop-down arrow.
Click on Add by URL.
Paste the link from the new window you had opened.

I use outlook.com for my emails, phone book etc. Everything was fine with my contacts on my phone, I had all the small avatars for myself and all my contacts. I've got a big problem since MS updated me to their new style Outlook.com.
All my contacts Avatars have gone and I seem to have every contact in my phone from Facebook even though I have only chosen 'Outlook' in the settings. More annoyingly I have about 300 'Unnamed' contacts appear in my contacts and none of them have any info inside. I have deleted my account on the phone and resynced and it is still the same?
Has anyone come across this and any ideas how I can get my original properly synced settings back?
I have about 300 of these empty names now,

Did you already check in Settings > Apps > Outlook if all permissions are granted. If not, delete your Outlook account, set all permissions, re-add your account.

I'm using the outlook that is in the accounts settings and not the Outlook app itself. I've got my mail,calendar and phone numbers synchronised.
Maybe I'll install the App and give it a go that way and chose that setting in the phone app to see if that sorts it.

If you guys want to know some good email apps the type mail app works great so does blue mail I use both and they rock. They have like a 4.6 or 4.7 rating not many apps get praises like that. Just thought I would mention that as I think the outlook app has a lot to be desired.

Thanks for that but it's not the email I have problems with it's the Outlook account sync problems that give me hundreds of false empty entries in my people phone book when I sync to Outlook.com. They are obviously not in there so I don't know where they are coming from. It has only happened since MS updated me to their new Outlook.com style of page.
Oh I had that issue on Tuesday with the outlook servers using Thunderbird email software I had to force close a couple times now seems to be fine all day Wednesday yesterday and still going fine.
