Today I added new Google account to my defy, but when asking what to sync there's no option for calendar (only mail and contacts). Is it a bug or what?

Unfortunatly, only the first account synchronize to Calendar. Others don't.
Really? This is disappointing :-\.

If it's not a privacy issue, you could always share the calendar to the other Google account. If the calendars are visible from your calendar.google.com page, they'll appear on your Defy
Thanks efpob, I followed your suggestion and it's working pretty well.

glad it worked for you. I'm doing it this way as well. You can even add events to the shared calendar.

im looking for a good hotmail app that i can set sync schedule, i only want it to sync a few times a day not constantly. a few of the apps i've tried doesnt show junkmail folder which i also use.

If you are using Hotmail and not Gmail on your google- powered phone you're doing it wrong.

just configure gmail (on the webpage) to retrieve hotmail and be done with it.

Geez guys he asked for a Hotmail solution not Gmail.
Microsoft Hotmail now supports Activesync/Exchange. All your contacts, calendar and email flows down.
Select Corporate email setup.
Username is your full email address.
Server is. m.hotmail.com
Domain blank.
Set update to whatever you want from Push to hours.
Btw, I am a huge advocate of Enhanced Email.

My girlfriend just got a thunderbolt. Unrooted. It seems as if Facebook will not sync with her contacts. Trying to manually link them does nothing unless the contact name exactly matches the Facebook name. Just wondering if there is some secret handshake or whatever to get this to work properly?

Do you have both Facebook the app and HTC's Sense Facebook accounts under Settings > Accounts & Sync? I believe its the Facebook App that syncs contacts
Ya she has them both. I'm sort of at a loss, works perfectly on my incredible then do the exact same thing on her thunderbolt and it just wont link unless she edits her contact names to match Facebook profiles.

I am running CM9 on my Touchpad and I am using the Hotmail app.
I can sync my contacts OK but I cannot sync my Hotmail calendar.
I can do this on my Android 2.3 phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I use the same app and have no issues... have you tried wiping the app's cache and data then uninstalling and reinstalling
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried several times to that.
When I go to the stock calendar, the only account I see is gmail .
And if I add a new account, I get message that the account is already there.
Any other ideas?

Have you uninstalled or frozen the email app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I have cleared data, uninstalled app, rebooted and then reinstalled.
Sorry but I don't know what frozen is.
Thanks

I'm referring to the stock "Email" app that comes with Android. Or have you thought of using it instead of the Hotmail app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I believe this is a bug that started with Android v 4.0.x
For instance, my work email is a live365 account and my phone running CM9 will not my get emails, it's loading forever with default email app...
I have not tried the default email app.
The weird thing is that the email pat, even contact syncing works. It's just the calendar syncing.
I will post some screenshots of my TP when I get home.

With stock app, are you able to sync Hotmail calendars as well as contacts?
The calendar syncing is my issue, not the contacts.

I got sick of the Hotmail app and moved to the stock one and have ever since not been able to sync the Calendar. I'm not really comfortable with Hotmail calendar --> Google calendar --> Phone calendar. As mentioned by an other member earlier, this could've something to do with Android 4.0.x., especially since it was working with 2.3.6 for me. Have attached a few screen shots to show what I mean.
I guess this is a Hotmail (Microsoft) issue with Android 4.0.x
This suck becuase I have all my dates in Hotmail calendar.
I guess should move to Google calendar
Simple change in settings solved the problem for me.
1. Set Sync frequency to Automatic - Push instead of Never.
2. Turn on Auto sync.
3. Wait for it to sync.
Live calendar will then appear in android calendar.

No the issue is your setup because I have 8 Android devices and all of them sync both my Gmail and Hotmail accounts (mail, contacts, calendars and tasks) without a hiccup

Whats wrong with my setup? I have un-installed the app, cleared cache, removed all accounts. I have used stock email and calendar app as well. What else could i try.
I really appreciate your help by the way.

Of course Ive taken for granted that you have double checked all your sync options in the apps you are trying to use and set them to push correct?
Also taking for granted that you have toggled all those settings on and off and rebooted in between toggles correct?

I have tried everything you have suggested, but I do not get the calendar sync option. Please look at these screenshots.
Hi there
I have an acer iconia a500 (ICS)and I have the same problem. Well, everything was working fine but suddenly my calender and contacts didn't sync.I figured out that microsoft wants us to use the dedicate app from the market. You can still use the stock email app for email only. What you can do is use the microsoft app only to sync calendar and contacts.
Hey guys I have added the Facebook acct (for syncing) but the calendar keeps saying "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Ive tried removing the acct and adding it back but its still happening. Any1 any ideas why this is happening or how to fix?
I'm having the same issue. Looks like the last time it sync'ed was 02/07 how about you? The strange thing is that Gallery sync on the same account is working normally, and contact sync for the facebook app itself is working normally.
I'm putting this down to an issue on facebook's side - as I've also tried removing the account and re-adding.
It would be interesting to see if our devices stopped syncing on the same day.
i am having the same issue as well, gonna give it a day or so and see if it works itself out. i agree that its probably on the FB side of things
Same here.. It's probably the FB protocol or something knowing them post if you figure it out. Wonder if newer roms work or not? Be a quick upgrade then port the new file umm

Just replaced the SNS.apk from /system/app with a newer version from the latest ROM released. Seems to work!
I'll upload the files tomorrow to drop box, odex and none, tomorrow some time..
Edit: Here is a link to the files. Suggest you backup your old ones first and replace. Delete dalvik cache, reboot, add the new account. Might take another reboot to get your apps going. Working in Jorte Calender now

Hi, you can also export your FB calendar via parameters in your FB web page, and paste it in your google calendar (always via web), activate it in your sgs3 calendar app and it's good
See link below for more details: (works for events and birthday)

Yeah I already synced my fb bdays through Google before this happened and bdays is the only event type I have so I unticked the calendar syncing.

If you don't like the sync with google, you can switch it off in your account-settings.
