Hey dudes,
Is this by any means possible??...Its just an idea came to my mind.
Thanks.
I use Fbcal (free) to sync to google calendars, then I use Oggsync to sync all google calendars to my phone - it gives you birthdays and ages and FB events as well.
That was the solution that I found.
Thanks a lot for sharing the info mate.

Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).
So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!
I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).
I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.
I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...
Any clues???
Did you reinstall Facebook ?

Try to sync? In the settings in facebook.
its a common problem i think...
when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...
what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
Thanks for you replies. Here are my comments:

Actually, I did... I even wiped it all and re-installed everything. Did not work either... But please notice that the Facebook app itself is not the case here. Why? The Facebook app uses a non-integrated Facebook account and I'm using the integrated account.

Yes. I configured it to sync contacts and calendar... And I synced hundreds of times, just to make sure.

This is a workaround, indeed. But I don't want to to this way because it is not automatic: each way a new friend is added in Facebook, I'd have to re-export the FB calendar to Google.
Here is some additional info. I did some more peeking in the databases (the .db files) and found out that the birthdays are not being loaded in the "events" table from the "calendar.db" file (not sure about the exact names, I don't have the phone at hand now...). If I look at this database in my Galaxy S (where it works), I see all Facebook birthdays and events in this "events" table. In the Ace, only the Facebook events were there...
Now it looks like the problem might be in the syncing itself, not in the actual Calendar app (which only display what is in the database).
I had this weird idea: since everything works in my Galaxy S (I even did a real-case test: I wiped my Galaxy S, configured my wife's Gmail and Facebook accounts and it worked perfectly), would it make sense to copy the .apk's from my phone to the Ace? If true, which .apk's could it be?
It doesn't work for me too. Actually, facebook only has the option of syncing contacts. Do I have to have a google account tied to facebook for facebook events to be synced to calendar?
I have a strange problem where the events in my Google Calendar are not syncing with the stock calendar application.
There are one or two of the latest events that I have added, and these show up in both locations, but all previous events are nowhere to be seen.
When I click on a day in the calendar app I get two messages:
Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies - irrelevant, I do not use Kies.
Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account - at which I go to the account and sync it. Nothing happens.
I can create an event in my Google calendar and it pops straight through as it should do, but none of the previous events and I keep getting these sync errors.
Please help, as it's giving me a headache.
Thanks.

Hmm ... that is not easy to solve.
I also had a similar issue with my Google calendar synch.
After installing a leaked version of Google Talk with Video chat (I think it was the one from paulobrien => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075494&highlight=modaco+talk), my Google account was deleted and I had to create it again.
Since then, I have no problem to synch my Google calendar entries.
Everything is fine now.
So, you may try to delete your Google account on your phone and re-install it again afterwards.
Good luck !
Hi guys just got my samsung galaxy s3 so far its good phone .Just wondering I can not sync my facebook birthday in S planner though Facebook account is already added in S planner .please some one help me
I have the same issue, the facebook birthdays don't even show in the contacts. All i did was manually add the birthdays into my phones contacts and then joined them onto there facebook account, then they appear in the S-Planner.
How about adding Facebook Birthdays as a calendar in Google Calendar and then syncing it?
Friendcaster for Facebook will do this automatically for you, and it's probably a better/nicer looking app to use than the original fb app.
I tried friendcaster and no luck there either... the high res pics dont translate into the contacts list either from friendcaster.
Try haxsync! It also sync Contacts with high quality pics instead of the ****ty facebook pics

what he said
You can export your friends' birthdays from Facebook into many other programs such as Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar.
1.Select Events from the left side of your home page
2.From the events page, click on the magnifying glass icon and select Birthdays
3.From the birthdays page, click again on the magnifying glass icon and select Export Birthdays
4.Use the provided URL to export your friends' birthdays to your calendar

For some reason, the SGS3 doesn't sync facebook birthdays to the calendar but if you install Friendcaster, it will work. I read a post saying it didn't but I downloaded it anyway and it works. because it works with FB (i think) it somehow allows some or all notifications to sync. you must follow step by step instructions on the set up including logging into FB twice.
Hope this helps!

friendcaster worked

Find in wannam rom sns 1.1.0 apk system file then put it in yours system/app :silly: In setting click on facebook and there will be sync interval which includes calendar sync :laugh:
just got my new S3 last night, pretty happy. However, I can't get FB events/birthdays to show up in the calendar like my previous Amaze did? There is no calendar option under the accounts and sync option for facebook?
Any ideas?
You have to add a "Facebook (for sync)" account (I don't if that's the correct translation, I don't have my phone in English), you don't even need to install the Facebook app. Then you need to allow the permissions it asks, if you reject or remove any of it, then it won't work.
Awesome! Thanks!
I'm getting events but no birthday?

The easiest way to do it is, go to facebook calendar on your browser, copy the export calendar link, add this link on your google calendar via web browser. Now when you go to your google calendars on your android, you will be presented with 2 new calendars facebook events and facebook birthdays.
Its very effective that way

I tried that and gave me the link was wrong. So i exported it as iCal and imported in good calendar. Worked like a charm.
One question though, every time i have a new event coming up or add a new friend on FB, i will have to re-export, am i right? because it doesn't auto update them.
The only way to keep updated is the app?
Thanks for your input guys
Hello there. I have a problem setting up multiple google calendars on my Lumia 920. All the manuals say that you should go to m.google.com/sync and choose what calendars to sync with your device. I know this method because that's how I used to do iy on my iphone. But when I visit the site from my Lumia it just redirects me to some useless help section. Has anybody managed to add multiple google calendars so far? Thank you in advance.

After some additional googling I've found this link:
https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/welcome?source=mobileproducts&hl=en
This one has worked as it should. Maybe it can be of some use for somebody else.
P.S. Screw you Google for making this so difficult.

I am not sure I understand this or may be I am mistaken.
But I have added three different Gmail accounts to my phone. When I go to Calendar, in the settings, it allows to select which calendars to show.
Also, each of this Gmail account allows me to sync emails, contacts and calendars (In settings, email accounts - click on each account you have)
Is this what you were asking?

No. He's asking how you choose multiple google calendars from a single google account to sync to your phone. I have about 8 linked calendars (I think - it's a big number) to my one google account, and I have 4 of them syncing to my WP8 phone.
You do it using the direct link, not the general m.google.com link which gets redirected incorrectly for WP8's browser, apparently.

I also have a standard google calendar which I got to working after yesterday's lost of sync. But I have one separate category for birthdays that doesn't get sync (not linked to google contacts). My main calendar that is my gmail's calendar works pretty nice with lumia 920, US holidays, Greek Holidays and name days get synced also, but the second calendar that I created with birthdays doesn't. If I don't find a solution soon I will incorporate birthdays into gmail's calendar. I don't want though as I mainly use as my calendar application the windows desktop vueminder (I believe best of its kind)and I have set different reminders, colors etc for the second calendar. Or I maybe incorporate birthdays into google contacts but at first I didn't because google displays birthdays as all day event and I didn't like it at that point.
