Dears,
Dud anybody get Facebook sns to work on aokp milestone?
I like how the birthdays are integrated into the calendar. Tried 3rd party apps like a calendar, ebo, friend caster and haxsync but none was really good and some birthdays were missing, also syncing the fb calendar to Google is not good as then the contacts from address book are shown twice.

Well.....Facebook syncs the calaender, plus i can use the "Updates" tab in the TW contacts app but my FB contacts wont sync AT ALL!!! Twitter syncs fine tho!......can any one help!!? or give me a reason or an ideal why its not working!?
in Google Contacts, i have activated the "Contact's Birthdays and Events" calendar. while i can use this calendar for example in Thunderbird or even the old mobile, the calendar won't load in the SGS2's calendar app - it is not even listed as calendar at all.
some calendar widgets from the market do list the birthday calendar as "inactive", which probably means that it's currently not synced. other Google Calendars like "Week Numbers" work just fine, so it seems that the birthday calendar is not synced on purpose. from reading forum posts, it also seems possible to use this calendar in other android devices...
has anyone found a way to get the birthday calendar to work with the SGS2?
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?
Hi, I know that there is a bug/restriction on ICS, but is there a way to sync contact and events like birthdays on a new calendar?
Got it on my Evo 3d but I don't know if this is sense related function.
Thanks.
Syncing Facebook screwed up the contacts on my phone so I stopped doing it, it may be because of that or because of the spat between Google and Facebook.
Try Haxsync. It works for me. But it's paid for app.

Does this also work with the calendar? (calendar widget)
Only with contact images, there is no calendar sync from facebook.

The newest version of Haxsync can do calendar sync now!
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
