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

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?
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.

on my Optimus G in Calendar/settings/accounts when I go to my gmail account the top of the screen has a message "This account is not being synced..." How can I make this happen? I read a suggestion to delete the information in the calendar and let it re-sync, but I don't know how to delete the calendar info. I've gone into gmail calendars on my pc and things seem ok there??? Is there another way to enable the sync?

If you have calendar synced (will delete local data): Go to system settings and apps. Click the all tab. Scroll down and find calendar storage clear data and force close. Check calendar/syncing.

unfortunately neither suggestion worked. When I go to the Account & Sync page, Gmail is not listed. I would have expected that. Is this the problem? How do I add Gmail to the sync, or Gmail calendars. My Gmail account actually syncs and pushed mail.
Weird... Gmail should be added to Accounts & Sync when Gmail is installed. I would try uninstalling Gmail entirely and reinstalling.
As for Calendar... as stated above, System Settings>Apps and clear Data on Calendar Storage. This fixed syncing errors for me.
Also, try going into Settings within the Calendar app itself. There you can select which calendars to sync. Maybe all are deselected, so that is the reason for it saying that in Accounts & Sync?
Anyone getting a notification to login to Facebook when starting the phone? I get it every time. It's not the Facebook app, it's the sync apps with Facebook account. You can see it under accounts in settings. Maybe it only turned on when I clicked that but didn't log in. Wth does Samsung want to sync with my Facebook!
Just sign in. It's to sync fb pics and calendar. You can just sign in and not sync it.
