[Q] Facebook/Calendar - HTC EVO 3D

My calendar has all my facebook friend's birthdays. I cannot get ride of them. I've already tried not-syncing facebook at all (regular and fb for sense). I also cannot find any option in the calendar app to not display certain calendars. Any ideas?

If you open the actual calendar app (touch the arrow in the upper right corner of the widget), the header has a pull down arrow after is says "All calendars". If you touch this, it will pull down a list of calendars syncing. You can enable/disable selectively from here.
I had a problem with this initially, as well, since this used to be accessed from the menu/settings.

Oh wow. I'd have never found that. Thanks.

Confused on Facebook

The facebook app that comes with the phone isn't really an app, it is just friendstream, no? When I signed it, it downloaded ALL of my contacts instead of just those with a matching entry in my phone which I can do with the Facebook app. How do I change that?

can you not find the official facebook app in the market? I personally use Bloo as my FB Client and just sync my FB contacts through Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add new > Facebook
I can but want to understand what the integrated solution does
Go to the Sync option remove your facebook there and then add it again it will ask for the option if you want to sync matching contacts or all of them.

Add Facebook or Facebook for myTouch? Regular Facebook doesn't do anything when pressed. Facebook for myTouch doesn't give me the option.
Thx
Use facebook for mytouch, after doing that wait for some time and it will notify you that you havd contactd simmilar to your fb account and if you wanna sync them

Go to your contact list, click menu and view. It will let you decide which acccounts you want it to show in your contact list.
Facebook for Mytouch never syncs contacts for me, it gives me the "sync is having problems now" message. Anyone experience this?
Mine worked fine but there is an option under the contacts settings to make only contacts with phone numbers show. That is really nice.
I disabled this cause even when I select use google pic, some how a few contacts would still revert to facebook over time. Too frustrating for me.
Now that we have perma root... does anyone know if removing the facebook for mytouch app will cause any problems? I would like to pull it off and put on the market version. I plan on making a backup and trying it myself but was wondering if anyone had any insight before I try.

2.1 Contacts + Timescape = aaaargh!

I seem to have found an Android 2.1 bug, and it's due to the supposedly improved integration with Timescape and Contacts..
Timescape now automatically updates your contact list with facebook and twitter contacts. That's nice, isn't it?
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone on my twitter account (it's all software houses and product updates and stuff), and I don't know (or want to know) the phone numbers of most of my facebook friends.
Luckily, there is an option in contacts to only show contacts from certain sources, so you can tell it not to show contacts from facebook or twitter, or even google or the phone.
Alas, you can tell it until you're blue in the face, but it still shows them, no matter what you yell it to show. :|
But fear not; there is also an option to hide contacts who have no phone number! Sweet, huh? Well, no - that doesn't work, either. :'(
So now my contact list is full of people I don't want to phone, and the only way to get rid of them is to sign out of my accounts in Timescape, meaning Timescape is useless. I'm just glad I'm not one of those people with hundreds of random facebook friends!
*sigh*
Yep. I have exactly the same problem. It's weird though - I have a Google contact, and a facebook contact. The FB contact is correctly linked to the google contact but in some situations (Usually where the FB name has a nickname or summat) they're displayed again. But you can 'delete' them.
I'm just dealing with the Big List. I came from a Palm Pre so I'm fairly search oriented anyway.
same problem here; i don't think this bug is related to Timescape... the whole options screen is buggy, you can see the "google", "facebook", etc labels go away when you select one of them.

i have no problem with that on my phone, i have link my contacts with timescape, facebook and twitter and i still only have my google contacts shown in contacts
Did you upgrade to 2.1? Does the "hide contacts without phone number" (or whatever it is in english) option also work?

yes all works
i also noticed that the starred (favorites) contacts tab disappeared from the contact list.
[edit]
...ok, solved! It's a Launcher PRO default shortcut bug. If you open the contact list from the applications list, all the problems (missing starred tab, messy list) go away. So... delete the default contact list icon, and recreate it.

Calendar app that does it all!

Trying "Business Calendar Beta & it doesn't do what I need. Specifically, it will not let me edit a single entry of a recurring event, nor can I move the same.
The calendar that has "10" on the icon has an artifact at the top of every screen. It looks like a text box, but does nothing except get in the way.
Jorte is limited, but looks OK & does most things, but will not color in the day of the event.
What I need:
Ability to add recurring events.
Ability to edit or move individual recurring events.
Highlight a day that has an event. (Color choice)
Be nice if event title had a history to choose from.
Most of these features are standard in Outlook Calendar, so I would hope they are not too much to ask for.
Anyone have other calendars for me to try?
Thanks,

Can you confirm that the Gmail calendar does everything you need it to do, and then just grab a Widget to give you a better view of the calendar?

I am currently trying Jorte for the calendar that displays on the desktop & when I select it, it uses Google Calendar. Took me a bit to understand what was happening, but I think I have something I can use.
Thanks.

Jorte was going to be my suggestion as well. Best calendar app I've found so far.
My vote goes to jorte

I personally REALLY like Touch Calendar. Boost up the zoom level and the font size and it looks great on the Nook Color. However, it's basically just a really nice overview, it still uses the built-in calendar app to add, edit, view the specific event etc..
2 thumbs up for Jorte also!
I'm not having any luck getting Jorte to sync with my Google Calendar. I've checked and re-checked the settings which seemed to be defined correctly but it won't sync. If I manually select an import from Google it shows "import complete" immediately but the data doesn't populate. Is anyone else using this successfully?

Is this specific to Jorte? Have you tried the stock calendar?

Well no, now that I look at it the regular calendar isn't syncing either. Not sure what broke that but I've spent the past 45 mins or so trying to figure it out without any luck. I'll look at it again a bit later.

You need to re-sync your calendar. I had the same problem. Trying to find the exact fix right now. Sit tight.
Sorry for the wait. I'm at work and got called away to deal with something.
Here you go. Credit where credit is due; give doc the props.
Now, I do have a question of my own about Jorte. I find the text quite blurry, at least on the 2x4 weekly calendar. I see that you can replace it with a font of your choosing. Will this fix the fuzzy text, or is that a symptom of it being used to a smaller screen? If that wont fix it, does anyone know of something that will?
Secondly, (and this is not very important) is there a way to add "padding" to the edge of the widget? I want it to reside in the top left of my screen, but it clings directly to the side of my screen if I do this with 0 pixles between the edge of the calendar and the edge of the screen. It's no big deal but I'd prefer a bit of padding to keep it consistent with the rest of my screen's layout. Can I force it to move to the center of the widget space somehow, instead of being left justified? I can post a screencap if I am being unclear.
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.
Also, I set the widget and line transparency to "not transparent" in the Jorte 5x5 widget, and the font size to "Large", and that cleaned up most of the fuzziness.

Yeah, but Companionlink, that is required to sync with Outlook, cost $40.!!!!
Too bad.

[Q] Calendar Question (synergy vs th3oryrom)

Hi All,
I finally flashed a few ROMs today and liking how it is going (exchange works!). I like the way the calendar displays on Synergy (shows the daily appointments without me having to press anything) - whereas the latest Th3oryrom shows me a 30 day calendar and i have to press the day to show the appointments (agenda view).
Is there a way to show the agenda view first? I'd like to keep trying a few more ROMs, but i really like the way Synergy shows it.
Thanks in advance!

Open calendar, hit menu, more, settings, calendar view settings, start in, and pick agenda. In cl3an or nons3nc3

I do this, but it doesn't show anything different (using the HTC calendar). It was already set this way - one click on the calendar heading and it goes to agenda view. I just want agenda view to be on the main screen - not the 30 day view.
Calendar, menu, more, calendars make sure exchange is checked if you want an exchange calendar to sync.
Also check the colanders syncing in your accounts.
I use HTC and it syncs with my Google. Use calendar 2/3 for your whole day by day agenda. Make sure to select it as widget.

I follow these instructions to the letter, but I can't get it to show the agenda view as the main widget screen. I appreciate the effort, but maybe my phone is messed or it can't be done the way i want it. I can provide screen caps if needed I suppose, but i'd have to reflash synergy just to get it. Thanks again!

[Q] [VIEW] HC & HTC Calendar - Add more calendars

How do you add more calendars to the HTC Calendar app? I see on the upper left hand corner where you can select different calendars to display but it is only showing 3 our of 6 Google calendars. All of which worked fine on gingerbread.
I'm pretty sure it automatically adds them based on your google account. Do you have more than one google account? I have 5 calendars and they all appear fine.
Just one Google account with 6 calendars. 4 of which i would like to have on device, but only 3 are showing, and only 2 of the 3 are ones i would like to have on there.
When you hit calendar on the upper left, all of your calendars automatically showed up there then?
I know on my evo, I would have to go into a menu and enable them for syncing, but I do not see anything similar to that on HC.

This is an HC bug. I have 3 calendars, only 1 of which shows up on the initial sync.
I had to repeatedly delete calendar data and syncing in various manners until it worked.
Try clearing "calendar storage" data, turning on auto-sync, and check and uncheck calendar sync several times (letting it finish the spin wheel each time)

Hmm, no change...
you need to make sure the calendars are active in Calendar Settings (on the web, selected with "show in list") before you can access them on your phone...i think
Had same problem. Seems like an HC issue cuz it was fine on GB. No idea why thou. Just use a different calender app besides stock/sense, especiallyif you are using a diff launcher.
