Hi Z4 Tablet owners,
i´m a bit confused as there is no facebook calender within the sony stock calender app, like on my z3 - facebook with xperia is connected during setup and checked but it seems that calender comes not up...is there something missing in the device?
anyone got facebook calender visible in stock sony calander?
Thank you!
Phased out by Sony due to limitations imposed by Facebook.

I've always used an app called Calendar Sync for Facebook. Simply puts my Facebook events into my google calendar.

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 have added birth dates to my gmail (google synced) contacts on my desktop pc. When I go to calendar on the pc birthdays show up.
I want the birthdays to show up on my phone calendar.
I have turned Google sync on to update my contact info, in the stock calendar I have found the option "My Calendars, Gmail, Contacts Birthdays and events, Synced & Visable"
The birthdays still dont show up in my phone calendar also when I go to contacts/Info in my phone there is no entry box for Birthdays?
Any ideas if I'm missing somthing?

DAMN I got the same problem...
I actually missed one of my best friends birthday due to this. I was calm that my phone would inform me, but NOPE! Although I have the birth dates on my Contacts, and they show OK on PC and on my Samsung Y Pro, they dont on Xperia S!
---EDIT---
Birthdays are not even shown in the contacts details! And I cannot even add a birthdate in a contact!
We must be missing something, this cant be real...
It sure does suck! Just hope were missing somthing simple.
Same here but I added the birthday details in google contacts it doesn't show up neither in the contacts nor in the calendar but it shows up in the 3rd party Birthday app.
I think this is a known problem.
K900 (if I remember correctly) said that it would be fixed in ICS.
Sent from the Delta Quadrant using a transwarp conduit.
So! Is it true that the problem was not fixed with 4.0.4 update?
Can anyone clarify?
Ive not seen anything to make me think its fixed

My calendar events disappear after some time after creating them...
after a day? or few hours? not sure exactly when.
I use the stock calendar from Sony (in ROM: KA03 Xperia SSpeed.)
using my (only) calendar: Phone calendar
I do not sync the calendar.
The calendar widget does not show the event anymore, even when its not missing yet.
anyone knows why this happens and how to solve this
UPDATE: it seems to work now after some days I don't know how?
I have problem with my Xperia S,
facebook contact sync is not working properly...
Can not see fb photos in contacts and can not link google phone contacts to FB ones...
I have installed stock ICS everything is fine except FB contact links...
in GB everything was OK.

You have to stay in contacts and wait few minutes while the info is requested.

have you tryet synchronize all contacts not only phonecontact
Facebook contact sync was disabled in ICS, so Sony's version does that in a weird way. Try removing your FB account and re-adding it.
I had a hard time getting facebook to sync too. After a few minutes it worked, but it's kind of weird because not all the contacts sync.
The best to sync contact pictures in the highest possible quality is to do it with "Facebook contact sync" -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
You can adjust image quality, sync interval and more... Best app ever!

So much more efficient than stock FB apps. :good:
I'd recommend HaxSync ..
I cannot get the Top Contacts widget to work properly. After so many tries re-signing FB and FB inside Xperia, somehow I don't know exactly I got it to work and sync with the Facebook but after 2 days only I am now getting the error that there seems to be a problem with Sync and should be back shortly.
How to get it working again.
What's wrong with Sony's facebook contact sync? I can see that there is some apps from playstore that can sync the photos, but I prefer only to use Sony's sync.
Its strange, because some contacts is sync and some are not.
Had anybody fund the solution yet?

Hi all,
just set up my new Xperia P. I sync with an Exchange account for all my emails, calendar and task management.
Now I'm at a loss: Is there really no way to show my tasks in the Xperia P?
Coming from other Android devices, my tasks always used to be supported by the calendar app. Not so in the Xperia P. Indeed, tasks do not show up in settings where you can decide which items to sync from the Exchange account.
Or did I miss anything?
As I rely heavily on tasks in Exchange, I'm thinking of returning the Xperia P if it doesn't support tasks out of the box.
(I haven't found a single third party calendar app that I like. One reason to buy the Xperia P was that the calendar, for once, doesn't suck. Or maybe it does.)
Many thanks, help is much appreciated!
