But all I get is that there must be a birthday field somewhere in Google contacts app, but I can't find it...

Google calendar sync

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.

The guy is only trying to help. :\
Easiest method would probably be syncing it into your google cal using that link and sync google cal into the stock calendar app...

You cant, sync to google and use google's calendar service.
After searching for a while - found this app
After searching for a while (including this forum) I've just found an app called:
"ICS 2 Calendar"
Unlike many "fat" apps, this one does nothing but addind the ICS to your calendar.

Google Sync

Hi, I got a question. I want to disable Google contact sync, but I want to keep Google calender sync. On my Desire z I was simply able to uncheck calender. With my S3 I only seem to be able to deactivate Google at once.
Is there a way for me to deactivate contact sync?

Forgot Google account details

Please can anybody help me?
My friend's phone got stuck in a bootloop the other day and the only way to recover it was to do a hard reset. The trouble being he has no idea what his Google account details are. He knows neither his email address or his password. He's never sent an email from his Gmail and never set up an emergency email account for recovery purposes. I've scoured the Internet for a solution but if all you have is your phone number, there doesn't seem to be any way to reinstate your account. His phone isn't rooted as he's not that kind of user. Can anybody help please?

Ok, so he's created a new Google account but obviously can't access all the apps he's paid for. Is there any way to transfer his old account to his new account? Thanks.

Sorry to keep bumping this thread but has nobody ever forgotten both their email address and password before? Any input would be welcome as people might find this thread in the future and find it helpful. Thanks.
