[SOLVED]HTC Widgets not refreshing properly - Desire HD General

It first started with the New widget.
And now also with the Calander and Twitter widget.
News Widget
This was a know issue.... It says updating but doesn't update.
Calander Widget
When ever I go to the the widget android start syncing my calander, and when I open it the calander is empty. And it doesn't refresh to today even when syncing is done...
Twitter Widget
HTC Peep refreshes. When you open Peep you see the new Twits, but on the widget you still see the old tweets.
Anyone facing the same issues? Or knows how to fix it.
The calander bug is the most important one for me. I use that one a lot.

For HTC calander delete cache.
Also for Twitter.
For HTC News, Delete cache.
Download Google Reader from market.
And re-setup HTC News

Google caqlendar syncing problems

I have a strange problem with syncing my google calendar on my G1. I have 3 calendars (main calendar, weather and holidays). 2 of them are syncing fine but my main calendar starts to sync but never stops. Besides this is draining my battery, the events from my main calendar don't appear in my calendar app.
This is what I tried:
delete data of calendar and calendar storage in application manager
check if my main calendar is checked in my calendars in the calendar app
auto sync
sync manually
deleted and readded calendar in calendar app
wipe
I have seen some threads, where people reported that contacts don'T sync or even calendar doesn't but no solutions. Any help?
anyway...
I flashed back to cyanogens 3.9.2 and all goes smooth. I only wonder, why all the others with 3.9.5 don't have this issue. But I will post that in the other thread.
Mods, if you want to close this thread... you can go ahead.
Thanks.

Calendar events vanished from grid view and HTC widget

Hello everybody,
I've been a happy Hero convertee since my device arrived two days ago. Well, I had to weather the Facebook-bug but there's plenty of help on the web. However, it seems that I've found somethimg new:
For some reason, my calendar does no longer display events in the grid view while list view keeps working perfectly. Also, the HTC calendar widget (small layout) does show no events in the preview area (although there are events) while the Android calendar widget still does its job. Soft resetting and re-syncing did not help...
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Abed
i got the same problem whith the htc calendar widget yesterday. It dont show the next upcoming event.
My alarms from the calender has also stop working, so somthing must be wrong with the calender, but i cant find anything...
I also have problems, when i use the htc agenda widget and the pure calender widget. But the calender under android widgets, seems to work better. My problems are, that it stops showing events that has been created a long time ago.
Same problem here, post Orange update, no calendar widget updates.

Adding B-Day date on a contact?

hi,
i just wanted do add a bday to one of my contacts and i couldnt on the phone only online in my google account... is there a way to add this in phonebook or not?
and does anyone know a widget that shows my next/future calender items and birthdays on homescreen and im able to set the weeks or days it shows in future?
There is an app called birthday or something like that. I use that since Google doesn't have an entry for birthdays. Only thing is that only syncs with your facebook contacts but I believe you then can edit anyone that isn't also so now it will have their birthday on to your G contact. It also has a reminder widget if you want it.
It's not perfect and the UI isn't the prettiest but it works.
There is a feature in Google Calendar where you can add your Gmail Contact birthdays. I then use Agenda Widget which shows everything on your calendar/s and it comes in different sizes.
You can always do it on your pc as well, via gmail, under contacts.

I do this too. It's a great solution
There is also an entry for this problem in the Android bug/feature request list:

birthday widget

does anyone know of a widget or app that will allow me to view upcoming or all contact birthdays ?
thanks in advance
when you sync your phone with fb it'll sync the birthdays to your calendar as well so you'll able to see the birthdays of your fb contacts.

how exactly? i synced all my phone contacts to their respective fb account but their birthdays wont show in the calendar, i even tried syncing with outlook and back to the phone....
no can do...
On my G1 I used to use one called ebobirthday which was quite good. On the Desire, instead I have a slightly nicer solution - but only slightly nicer, because for some reason you can't seem to get at the synced FB dates
Sarch facebook apps for swissmenuo and add that app - it'll give you feerds for your FB events and contact birthdays. You can then add the ICS feed to your Google Calendar and use any of the calendar widgets to view just that calendar, or include it with your standard calendars . . . .

cant find it..
I'm using Google Calendar's function for birthday's...
(in Google Calendar) :
Settings|Calendars|Browse interesting calendars|More|Contacts' birthdays and events<--subscribe ^^
thanks guys,
unfortunately, i was hoping to steer clear of having data stored in the cloud. all of the birthdays are stored right there on the phone, all i want to do is have an app that displays upcoming birthdays in a widget.
used ebobirthday..works like a charm..it gets my fb friends birthday n integrated it into my HTC calendar...can even set alarm lol...

ebobirthday uses its own database to store birthdays doesn't it ? i was hoping to avoid this but it's looking like i'm going to have to cave in ...
after you set it to find all your contact birthday, there is an option to export the birthday into a csv file which i think u can save it and apply it to your google calendar or outlook or anything, i saved it but didnt try it, worried that it might mess up my calendar since i have ebobirthday on...hehe, you can try it and let us know the result
Facebook 2 Google
I used "birthday exporter" application on facebook, when you enter the application click "get your iCal file" then go to your google calendar and add the calendar (click on add, then "import calendar" and choose your downloaded iCal file) then sync from your phone to your google calendar.
Cheerz
thanks for the info, from the reviews, i see that some ppl says that it doesnt sync with android when there is no year added....
well i will stick with ebobirthday until everything is sorted out

Anyone having trouble with Calendar Widgets?

I've tried a few Calendar Widgets:
Agenda Widget
Pure Calendar Widget
Stock Xoom Calendar Widget
and I'm having a problem where I can only get like the first week of events to show up.
Then when I try and use Pure Calendar Widget (Agenda Widget crashes), it doesnt show any events at all.. it's blank
I had a problem where one of my calendars wouldnt show/sync. I cleared the calendar data and cache and it came back. You may want today try that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Using Agenda Widget. When entering setup, the tablet must be in portrait mode or it will crash. Can't get it to scroll.
I cleared cache but it didnt fix it, so im resesting factory defaults now
applications>calendar>clear data. Then do the same for calendar storage.
Then manually refresh your calendar. See if that helps.
