Is this possible? Be it on the HTC Calender or Android Calender.
I use GMAIL to store all my contacts, be they phone or email and I also include birthdays. These sync fine to my phone and I can see them as contacts, inc their birthdays, but they don't appear is either Calender.
In Google Calendar (on a PC) go to settings then click "Browse interesting calendars >>" then click on the "More" tab and then subscribe the calendar "Contacts' birthdays and events" it'll show up as another calendar you can activate or deactivate on the phone.
In order to get the birthdays of your contacts in your calendar, you have to login to your google calendar with a browser (best to do it on a computer, don't know if it works on the mobile). In the Settings of Google Calendar, you have to go to the Calendars tab and choose "Add interesting calendars". Then you get a list of different calendars. On the "More" tab, you can select "Birthdays of contacts and calendars". By enabling this, you will get all the birhtdays of your contats in your calendar, also on your phone.
Note: some of the steps may be called a bit different as I have all the menu options of Google Calendar in Dutch.
I have a question related, I'd imagine that the desire would do it automaticaly, but it doesn't seem like it. Is there a was to sync facebook birthdays to google contact birthdays ?
What's up with that !?
So if i create an event with no reminder and then add a reminder it won't show on the phone.
Whenever I enter a new entry in the calendar or in the contacts it asks me if I want to use the sync entries or the google account.
Is there any way I can set one of them to be the default?
Many Thanks!
I used to have this working properly before only to show my contact's birthday via its settings but now it refuses to work, the application I get to sync the dates with is Sync.ME (facebook sync app) anyone else know a better method for this, if I set to show all facebook contacts then its extremely cluttered.
G'day Team,
Has anyone found a way to get the Always on Display to show the next event from your Outlook Calendar?
I understand it will show the next event from the Google Calendar in Android 9 and have this working correctly however I want to display my Outlook calendar.
I've tried adding my outlook calendar to the Google calendar from within the app (which works in terms of showing the appointments within the app) but the Always on Display will only display events created within the Google Calendar directly.
I love this feature (as an ex-Windows Phone user) but use Office 365\Outlook not Google Calendar.
Any suggestions on how to get around this??
Many Thanks!
I am looking for the same, but I guess AOD is designed to show only Google Calendar events. On a side note, how did you manage to add outlook calendar within Google Calendar app?

you need to share your outlook calendar with either the google calendar or samsung calendar, you can go in google calendar, settings, manage calendar, add ouutlook calenar (put in your username/passoword) if its your personal email calendar, it will show up, if its your corporate calendar, your company would have disabled sharing of calendar for security reasons, and it will give error. check if you can share your corporate calendar to your gmail id. usually its blocked.
was able to successfully show the corporate calendar on AOD, go to the outlook app on your android, and select sync calendars, enable the toggle. it will sync the outlook calendar with the samsung calendar and it will show up on your AOD, just tried it on my s22 plus it works. after hrs of tinkering around.

Considering the Pixel 2XL isn't a Samsung device and doesn't have Samsung apps on board, he'd have to share the calendar with Google Calendar.
Not to mention that we both replied to a post that was dead and buried four years ago.
