Is anyone else having this problem. this is very very important to me. it synced and then disappeared.
Mine is syncing. I sync my outlook work calendar to Google which syncs with phone. I had same setup on my evo 4g. I did not change anything in this setup.

I wish the HTC email widget synced in real time like gmail does...there's a slight delay in that my gmail account gets it first and then the htc widget has to wait 5 mins...is there a way to sync the htc email as email comes in?
Mine syncs fine. No OTA.

I had issues with my gmail account syncing, then I realized that, somehow, I had not checked the box to sync gmail.
Check and make sure it's not something in your settings
I have multiple gmail calendars that all synced fine previously on my EVO 4g. Now, in the calendar app I only see the primary google calendar, not all the rest of my google calendars. The old HTC album allowed you to select which calendars, and add calendars to the list that are not actively being shown. after scratching around for 15min, I could find no such option to add the rest of my google calendars. I know they are visible, other programs acknoledge their presence. I have not done the OTA, but I may be doing it to see if it fixes this problem.
anyone that HAS done the OTA have difficulty with seeing multiple google calendars in HTC calendar app? anyone without the OTA have the same issue?
EDIT: did the OTA, still only see my primary google calendar, not all the other ones. anyone seeing more than one google calendar in the calendar app and know how to resolve? TIA.
did ota and made sure it was checked and still nothing. same problem as guy above me. anyone know of any fixes for this?
Had the same problem with my Fascinate, but found a fix. BEFORE you activate the device, any calendars you wish to sync MUST be viewable in the web version (i.e. load google cal, and click on each calendar you want access to on your roid so that that are all viewed at once). After this, go ahead and do the initial device setup. If you have calendars you want access to but dont want to view all the time, you can turn them off within your roids cal app.
new calendars that you add/create after initial setup seem to pull fine though. unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to fix this AFTER your main gmail account is already added to the device. The only way to fix it at that point is to factory reset. Worked for me, hope it helps!

Oh sorry, my bad. I didn't know that.
The biggest problem with most calendar apps is that they tie to your Google account on the device. Of course, nobody has been able to get Google sign-ins fully working on the NC. I would imagine once they get that figured out, the stock calendar and many 3rd party calendars will work.

How to Sync Calendar
Easy - just go to your Gmail account setup. You will see a box for "Add New Account". Just add your GMail account again - YES, do this. You will then see a screen for syncing stuff - on it will be an option for syncing "Calendar" - check this.
Now you can sync Google Calendar on your PC with that on the Nook Color!
There's also a PC App for syncing your Google Calendar (on PC) with your Outlook Calendar.
I've been using a combination of [paid] "Puregrid Calendar" Widget and [free] "Synker" to keep my Gmail calendar sync'd with the Nook Color. It has a nice full month calendar widget on the home screen that I really like.
I wasn't aware there was any reliable to way to sync the Gmail calendar with the device, so I'll have to give the mentioned method a shot and see if I can maybe get rid of Synker (although I like being able to sync on demand with a device that isn't connected to the Internet 24/7).
SWEET
@Docfreed - thanks - I've been trying to figure this out for days!
Try Smooth Calendar in the Market.
Doc's fix worked. Thanks.
I use Calendar Pad. It has a couple widget sizes and modes... day, week, and month.
Cheers,

@Docfreed, Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Meanwhile, synker seems to do the trick.

I had the same problem, got synker working as well but would love to not have to use it.
I tried going to gmail and adding account but got the same message as ehrune. Any help would be appreciated.
I am such a dork... can't remember anything anymore. I found another thread with a solution and I also found a semi solution that I actually posted myself. Geesh!
I posted this in December and didn't remember:
"My calendar wasn't working. I went to Calendar - menu - more - my calendar
Then I removed my calendar, added it back and voila! It populated."

Does the ThunderBolt by chance require you to manage delegations? Like is it secondary calendars that aren't showing up? I know on my HTC Incredible that all of my other calendars on Google cal are automatically selected, but possibly they disabled that for the ThunderBolt? Should be able to go into the calendar on the phone and hit menu to get to calendar settings and see if that's the trouble?

Thanks for the info but I have made sure that all calendars were checked. I guess I am the only one seeing this problem so it must be on my end somewhere.
I have one friend from Facebook that just won't sync with my phone. I have removed her, added her back, resynced and nothing. I have restored my device twice, and still nothing. I have removed Facebook from my phone, I have done everything that I can think of. I have used two programs (SyncMyPix + HeartofAngel), but her profile just won't show up in either program to sync to my phone.
All of my fb friends are linked according to their Google contacts in my address book. The contact in question is linked. HTC suggested I sign out of fb, clear everything under Facebook in applications, reboot the phone, then sign back in. However, HTC sense doesn't always sync. So I use a program from heartofangel.com and an app on my phone called SyncMyPics. When I launch and sync using that latter on my phone, everyone syncs, except for this particular fb friend. When I look at the results, she's not even listed in those results. When I use the Google contacts program from heartofangel.com, every fb friend populates. When I scroll down to hers, she's there, when given the option to re-link her Google contact to facebook contact, it doesn't appear she's a friend of mine on Facebook. I've removed the Google contacts and syncmypics apps on Facebook, then relaunched the apps, then allowed permission again. Nothing works. Does this make any sense?
She is definitely a friend of mine on fb. She has not unfriended me. She shares her email on fb, but not her phone #. She's showing up as Google and Facebook (linked together) in my address book. It's just with other syncing apps/programs, she's not showing up with those. It's the weirdest thing.
What on earth could this be? Any ideas?

I am beginning to wonder that myself. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing with my phone. I guess I am a little anal about that. LOL! I want them all to sync over. I am posting my problem on here to the "google contacts sync" forum and see if the owner has a suggestion.
I had similar problems when I first set up my Amaze with my wife's profile. Don't remember exactly what fixed it, but I think it was after the third or fourth time I cleared data and caches in both the Facebook app, and the Facebook for HTC Sense app, and sense then everyone is syncing fine. Maybe it had to do with the order I cleared them, I'm afraid I just don't remember.
I have found a solution but you won't like it...it took me a while to figure this out...so basically if you set up your google account before your facebook, facebook will not sync correctly....since android 2.x won't let us delete the current google account (ICS will allow this), you have to reset to factory settings, then setup your facebook account DO NOT SETUP google when prompted in the start wizard. wait an hour or so until all pics and things are downloaded and everything is synced up...then go ahead and setup google account so you can use the market, but make sure you are not syncing google contacts yet, update the facebook app through the market, (this way you will get high quality pics from facebook, if you have an older facebook app on your rom, you will get lower quality pics until you update to the new facebook app), finally you can sync your google contacts etc after about an hour or so (if you have sense) you will get a bunch of matched or linked contacts showing up ....this should help...
any questions let me know
WOW! Now THAT was some good advice. I am going to do that here now and see what happens. I have installed Friendster, and this one FB friend STILL doesn't show up in that app either. I am wondering if this has something to do with the FB API. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing to my phone. It won't hurt to do a factory reset.
Thank you for that info.

I did exactly what you suggested. I actually have 389 FB friends and all 389 FB friends are now downloaded to my phone. However, I am getting some with their profile picture and some without. See attachment. I have cleared the data from both FB and FB for HTC SENSE now 3 times. But not all of the profile pictures are downloading. Perhaps I need to go ahead and sign in to my gmail account and download the newest FB app, then resync? Any suggestions would be awesome!

wait for all the pictures to download give it some time a couple of hours...then if not all are downloaded sign into the market and get the latest facebook app...when you're signing into market, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT SYNCING CONTACTS ITS GOING TO START TO SYNC RIGHT AWAY, STOP IT IMMEDIATELY. AND MAKE SURE AUTO SYNC IS OFF. once you downloaded the new facebook app, simply sync again. and if this doesn't work, delete the facebook account under sync (not the app itself) and add the facbook for htc sync again...this should do it.
And the picture quality is also.very very low..
When I call some1 is see only pixels.

thats because facbeooks native app uses 96 x 96 pics, don't even download facebook app, use the facbook for sense app, under sync section to sync the contacts and pics first, it'll give you much higher quality...unless you're running NRGZ rom, he has replaced the original Facebook for Sense app with the stock facebook, in which case you have to push an apk from another rom to your phone and resync. check out nrgz threads, someone just told me to do this recently.
Facebook, sense, contacts, image, pictureebook acct and told it to sync to existing contacts and back when I had the OG evo the contacts would automatically be updated with their facebook profile picture. Currently after many syncing attempts, restarts, etc the contacts still don't have their facebook profile pics and when I go to edit the contacts manually to add them when I click on facebook it doesn't have a picture. Is anybody else having this issue? (btw all of the contacts I've tried to manually map all have facebook profile pictures) Does anybody know of a fix? Thanks in advance

I was having this issue also, and my issue was fixed by doing two things.
1) In facebook (website), under "Account Settings -> Apps" I deleted HTC Sense (basically revoking HTC Sense access)
2) In Android "Settings -> Accounts & sync" I deleted Facebook, then readded it and made sure Sync Contacts was checkmarked.
HTC Sense should ask again to be allowed access to Facebook. Once accepting, the contact's profile pictures started trickling in.
The thing is if you're running a custom rom, the rom dev may not have included "Facebook_Client.apk" and "FacebookEngine.apk" which are essential to syncing facebook with htc sense.

thanks a lot...deleting the app from facebook and the phone fixed it...appreciate your help!!
Thanks for the tips, I was wondering why the syncing didn't work because I had to go into each contact and link them individually, which of course was a pain

I just purchased a Droid Increadble 4G LTE from Verizon Wireless. I have started to notice some things that were forgot about or missed. These things should be caught before release.

HTC Sense version
4.0

1. The FriendStream widget is not there but is hidden.
2. I also noticed that when delete pictures from the phone storage using the computer they still show thumbnails in the gallary but when selected they give and triangle with the ! in the middle
3. Contact merge does not update contacts across the accounts as did previously on Droid Increadble.

3. In the People app, it gives you the option to link contacts, exactly the same as it did on the original Droid Incredible, which I used for two years. It never updated anything on your Google account if you linked it to a contact on your phone storage, even if more information on the phone storage, and also vice versa. When I deleted my Facebook account on my Dinc last year, it deleted every contact who came specifically from Facebook, and deleted all information originating from Facebook from existing contacts. Linking contacts simply puts the two information together for one easy place to look at it on your phone. If you go back and delete all contacts from your old phone and then resync your Google account, you'll only get the ones who came from Google, no phone storage, no Facebook, etc. Every time I updated to a new ROM, I have to manually restore contacts from my phone storage after syncing my Google account until I just manually entered every contact from phone storage into my Google account.
IceDragon59 you are correct i was just putting all the annoying things in once place. Also the contact sync does not work for me as it did on the orginall Increadble. Maybe it is the same reason there is no Frienstream app or widget. But my contacts that should be linked to facebook arent showing there fackbook profile pictures like on previous HTC devices. Also I dont see Facebook for HTC Sense sync like before just Facebook for android.

Sense 4.0...yeah they changed a lot of the older functions to be merged into other places. People got used to the old Sense way of doing things. Whether these changes are for the better or not, time will only tell. But I agree, it seems a little too much in places. I think it's all part of their streamlining of Sense.

FriendStream is specifically hidden in the default.xml file. I believe the way they implemented Facebook for HTC Sense on this phone is that it is an add-on to the main Facebook app, and that's why it doesn't display. A couple of apps on this phone seem to work in a similar fashion. Since I don't have a Facebook anymore, I can't verify how the contact sync works from it. Currently I have nothing but a Google account syncing contacts. It's possible that you have to merge those contacts, then set each manually to update their photos from Facebook.

Thanks, but I have been going through and manually adding them. I guess it is something that I will get used to or switch to a different launcher. Launcher Pro has a widget like the friend stream one.
