it seems the only way i can sync the pics is to do it manually. i havent really checked out the calendar, but i know that the pics don't sync automatically.
I'm having this problem to. If i go to the accounts & sync and choose Facebook for HTC sense it shows the calendar isn't syncing. My friend stream widget hasn't updated since July 2nd. Any ideas?

Yeah doubletwist is really awesome for itunes sync. For Addressbook you could use Googlemail and sync it with your Addressbook, and for iCal use Google Calendar and sync it with iCal.
Works perfect for me the only strange think is if I want to Notify myself with a Popup on my Phone about an appointment, I have to set the time in iCal min. for 15 minutes before, 10 minutes doesn't work.
Ah yeah and the field for Birthday isn't synced from Googlemail and Addressbook, they have a different way of doing it.
Thanks, thought to avoid Google.

what rom are you using? if its NRGZ then, it has that problem, and go to that thread: (rad through this entire page, you'll find the answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759&page=168) , I had the same problem, you should find your answer within the last couple of days post....the trick is that you need to sync your contacts with the "facebook for sense" under sync in settings, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FACEBOOK APP, don't sync with native facebook app....once you have synced the first time with "facebook for sense" under sync (if its not there, you have to add an account, if you don't see "facebook for sense" you have to get the apk and push it to you /system/app") wait for all the contacts to sync and get their pictures...then if you wish you can download the facebook app. if this doesn't work the only way to do it is to do a factory restore and sync facebook, before syncing google. don't sign into google but instead go and setup facbeook for sense first and sync contacts first, then add google account.
I am using stock shipped rom...and i have already facebook app)) butt thank you for help

uninstall Facebook app altogether
if your using stock, you should already have facebook for htc sense in settings-->accounts and sync--> add account --> facebook for HTC sense. wait for sync to complete...download the facebook app ...
if it doesn't work...factory reset...don't setup google account but again go to settings-->accounts and sync--> add account --> facebook for HTC sense. wait for sync to complete...then setup google account, then download facebook app..
Okay i will try and i will say ))) )) thank you very much bro...

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

Sorry but I don't know what frozen is.

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.
It displays "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It'll be back shortly." and when I check it it's Facebook Calendar with the exclamation mark.
It doesn't sync since July 5th, which is when I got the ICS/Sense 3.6 update.
I noticed Facebook for HTC Sense isn't displayed in the Accounts & Sync list anymore since that update, is that normal?
Yes, I'm in mean rom latest ics, i just disabled it

My phone has just disconnected by itself from Facebook right now saying "authentication failed" and when I logged in back the calendar sync is back working. It looks like removing the account and re-adding it solved the issue.
I'm having this same issue, however removing the account and re-adding it does not solve the issue. Can anyone help?
MeanROM ICS v2.6 and stock kernel.
I'm having the same issues sometimes. I'm almost positive it's the pos Facebook app. That thing is straight garbage.

Facebook needs to get their act together on this. How come they are the only ones that can't seem to make an Android app run properly?
Mine is working fine since then...
As far as I know, Facebook calendar sync doesn't come from the official app. It's (Facebook for) HTC Sense.
Maybe you could try to logout / remove on the phone, then go to Facebook website and remove the HTC Sense app from the app settings page, then login again on the phone.
Hi guys I have a Facebook account I used to use but I deactivated it years ago. However it is the best source for keeping my contacts having their preferred picture.
On my vivid I was able to log on to Facebook, sync contacts, and all of their pictures would show up on my contacts in the phone. Then I could deactivate Facebook and the pictures would stay.
On my hox+ I'm unable to do that?? As soon as I deactivate the contacts pictures go away. Anyone know if there's a way I can have both deactivated and their pictures saved?

I'd like to know the answer to this too
Also, when you sync the calender, it disappears when u deactivate, is there a way to make it stay? It's very handy for birthday reminders for friends. Keep missing folks birthdays.
In facebook settings tell it to sync with existing contacts.

I tried that just now. When I was logged in it showed my contacts pictures.as soon as I deactivate they all disappeared..
