still doesnt work?
Day two, still wont sync. I have facebook enabled in contacts, it just shows a group with 0 people in it. It syncs my calendar just fine, but wont sync contacts for some reason.
The strangest part is that it used to, but after I reformatted it wouldnt.
Ive tried; Deleting and re-adding FB account at least a dozen times, and Menu -> sync/cancel/sync/cancel brute force approach that worked with other phones.
my facebook widget stopped auto updating even though its set for like every 2 hours the last posts i see are from this morning.
in fact if i click the manual green sync arrows it attempts to sync but nothing happens.
i already have done a battery pull today.
My facebook and twitter contacts both won't sync. And I have two sets of twitter contacts, one from the widget and one from the twitter app.

Got that too, but mine sync at least... sort of. I had to manually link contacts that were first linked automatically when I first set up my phone.
Same problem wont sync. Checked of and everything
I'm having the same issue, i'm curious all of you who are having problems did you experience them after the root?
My contacts synced fine when I first got the phone but have since stopped syncing (if I check under accounts and sync in setting I see an error) This issue existed for me both before and after root.
Synced fine before I rooted but tbh the phone was unrooted for about 10 minutes after initial setup. The second I got home I rooted and wiped.

guys. read the message on your phone. it says "sync is down right now temporarily" when you try to sync and look at specific status. I'm guessing this is more a samsung or android thing than "your specific phone".
Right beneath manage accounts it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Notice the sync icon with the red exclamation mark next to it
I have not rooted yet, and I'm still having sync issues.
I really think they rushed getting the phone out to compete with the droid x, moving the release date up a week. Hopefully this issue, the gps/compass, and 3g get addressed in a OTA update soon. I saw the droid x was already scheduled to have one.

I had the same problem. It just starting working now. I did not do anything. they must have fixxed something.
Having this issue as well. The weird thing is that when i add Facebook to the accounts list in settings, it updates the feeds widget with facebook statuses, and they are also listed in the contacts app, that last menu that gives you the various social feeds. However it cannot sync the actual contacts, must have tried 15 times today.
I was reading on another forum that someone found a solution that seemed to be working for people, but only if you were able to get it synced before and in some way either removed the account or the contacts and cannot resync. This didn't work for me as I didn't fall under that category, but I hope this can help someone.
1. Turn on background sync in settings.
2. Go into the main contacts window, and instead of hitting accounts to check the sync or whatever, hit menu at the main screen and choose "Find Friends"
3. Tap on Facebook. If you were able to sync before, it should work. If you are like me and was never able to sync, the box will be greyed out.

This worked wonders...Thanks!
I'm having a similar issue with my twitter contacts. I can manually add a few via the method offered above, but the account doesn't seem to find some of them (including my girlfriend's, which is particularly frustrating).

I had same issue with contacts sync with facebook images. But i found a work around. When you add facebook accounts and sync. Enable fackbook contacts and facebook contact images. Now it will dump all your facebook contacts to your phone, but it will categorize it. once you do that, it will link your say "gmail contact" and "facebook" contacts together, On the contacts that you have different nicknames, you can click on the contact and select linked contact, select facebook and choose your friends contact info and now my images matches. Looks better now. Hope i only have to do this once.
Good Luck and this is my first post.

This happens on my Evo (Stock ROM Froyo 2.2) and may be happening on yours too. Can somebody verify this bug?
My calendar has a bunch of appointments put in either by our Exchange server or manually added by me. Normally these look fine. However, if I go into the built in calendar application and click the search button (magnifying glass) and then search for an appointment something strange happens. Once the search finds the appointment and I press on the appointment to open the event, the time now shows 12:00 AM. instead of when the appointment really is. Now, the time isn't actually changed because if I navigate/scroll to the actual event and open it from there it's fine.
I never noticed this before and I don't know if it's related to the latest update released by Sprint. Can a few of you try this and report back. I appreciate the help.
i wish I could get my company exchange to interface with the stock mail app What does touchdown do so differently that the stock widget can't?
I was having another issue, totally not the same. Since the update 2 days ago, i have been having an odd issue where facebook events (b days) have vanished off the widget. When i open the app, and remove the widget, then re apply the widget, magically they are back on the list... for about 24 hrs.
It is driving me nuts
My calendar has started being a real pain in the backside today. I was reading a few topics on the calendar and after checking my battery usage daily I thought my calendar had started using a lot more battery than it used to (used to be around 5-8% on a full charge, recently its been 15-20%).
So I wasn't able to find any fix in the other threads and someone suggested clearing the data from the app manager which I did. The problem now is that my calendar is messed up. I only use it for birthdays linked via facebook and holidays. It is showing the holidays fine but it is no longer showing birthdays. It shows some (3 to be exact) however there used to be waaaaay more as it showed all my facebook contacts birthdays. The 3 people that it is showing seem to just be random and it says they've been linked from facebook.
The good news is that my calendar battery usage is back down to below 5%, but maybe that's because it isnt even working as it should.
Anyone have any suggestions. I really don't want to do a factory reset. It took me about 3-4 hours to sort out my contacts and link them all correctly so doing that again would drive me mad (unless there is some way I can do a backup which includes the contact links?)
Sorry, I can't help you but HTC clearly has issues with Google Calendar. My calendar eats battery and often sits at the "Loading" screen. I see lots of issues on the forum, and few solutions. Time HTC fixed it.
Hi,
Yeah its a known issue. I have the same problem. I e-mailed HTC about is last week and they replied saying that they know about it and should be fixed in an update soon.

Hello!
I tried the clear-data for the calendar and the battery consumption has dropped to normal levels again.
Thing is my Facebook birthdays are not showing up anymore (at least most of them...).
Also, I would like to ask another thing.
Is there a way for the calendar to display birthdays for people that you don't have as friends in facebook but you have their birthdays stored in your phone contact list??
And one final question. If you go to Google calendar online (from a PC) there is an option to have your favorite teams' schedules on your calendar. Is there a way for these schedules to appear on your phone calendar as well?
Thanks!

I have the exact same facebook birthday issue because I did the exact same clear data thing. Battery consumption from the calendar has disappeared thankfully but now the facebook birthdays don't appear.
I eventually gave up and left it. Day by day the facebook birthdays have been appearing strangely. Initially only 2 friends birthdays were appearing after clearing the calendar data, then the next day there were about 4, then the next day a few more and its gradually populating the calendar. There are still some missing but I'm hoping they will appear soon as everyday there seems to be some more added.
It is very strange but give it a few days and see if it starts populating.
Same here. Cleared the calendar data and it has resulted in similar effects (improved battery, weird calendar). I'm surprised that such basic functionality (HTC syncing with Google calendar using a Google OS) has caused such problems.
Oh, any syncing my favourite team (the one and only Glasgow Celtic) would be nice. Any ideas? I have Celtic's fixtures in Google Calendar on a PC but they don't appear in my syncs.
Hi, I have my google calendar all set up ok, and it has an event every day. It syncs fine with my galaxy s2, but when it syncs with my TF, only some events are synced?! It seems completely random.
How can I get all events synced properly? Anyone come across anything like this before?
Cheers.

I have the same issue. I would also like it Facebook would sync with it too.
Sent from my awesome Asus Transformer using XDA's premium app.
I have more or less the same problem. I have synced events one month back from today and all events to the future, but I am not able to synchronize the events older than one +-month which were in google calendar (web interface) before synchronizing. If I try to create new event, but on the date older than one month (for example 5.5.2011) on web (sync to Transformer) even on Transformer (sync to web) everything is ok, but if there is another event with the new one, I see synced only new one. Really weird
i had the same problem. In my case it was an issue with recurrence (google does not support some patterns that outlook does for example: repeat on the last sunday of the month). Changing this solved sync issues. I read also that any other unsupported field will prevent sync - so keep it simple. Hope this helps. Irek
Hi there,
Here's an odd bug I've been experiencing for some time now, wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I've experienced it with the last stock Froyo EC02 install as well as the current Gingerbread EF02.
I use and really like the Sammy stock calendar app. In the calendar list it shows 3 calendars, My Calendar, the gmail calendar, and an exchange calendar. I want to set the gmail calendar as the default, but every time I do it it changes the calendar ringtone to "Silent". Then I go to ringtones and reset it to any other ringtone and the default calendar changes back to "My Calendar". WTF!
I've been living with "My Calendar" as the default, that means I have to choose the correct calendar every time I create a new event. Anyone else see this bug? Any suggestions. (Please don't just tell me the app sucks and I should use xxx instead.)
Thanks
I currently have my gmail calender set as the default and have a ringtone. I haven't set up an exchange account yet, but I need to. I'll do that and see if I can reproduce. Using virgin EC02.
Bump.......Nobody has ever seen this bug but me?
That is correct.

I have seen this as well. I just figured it was just me and never posted about it. This bug does cause me some issues. I like to use Calendar Snooze to manager my reminders. I believe this bug is what causes some of my reminders to never chime.

I have the same problem. I don't have any solution - I'm not even rooted and I'm not skilled in that sense. But I wanted you to know you're not alone or crazy. Very annoying bug.
What I've done in the past is simply log into the google calendar on my computer and delete 'my calendar'. I did it because I was annoyed by many of my entries not syncing because they were saved under the wrong calendar. But, maybe deleting 'my calendar' will help your situation as well.

Seems like a great idea, but "My calendar" doesn't show up anywhere except on my phone. I'd love to delete it from the phone but I don't know how.
I use cozi and prefer it. You might give it a try. Its in the market and syncs multiple phones together so your family can share a camera. Handy for parents.

Not what I'm looking for.
I have the same issue
I reset phone to stock. Was working fine with the CalendarAlarmHelper before the reset. Also works when using frozen or any of the like firmwares...this is the first time I've had this issue...Im testing different things right now. Adding events to my cal, fixing the sound. I'll let you know how I make out.
After Trying different programs
I tried testing what the issue was. Reinstalling gmail app, adding new calendars, different notifications, chrome imbedded calendar app function changes, nothing worked. Honestly if I could get into the program of the calendar app and edit it, im sure i could find a fix for the bug in the program. But I ended up purchasing Nudnik Calendar Notifications, this one worked for my Epic 4G it was $2.50 but well worth the hassle. Custom notifications, works for all calendar events.
Wow, a thread rises from the dead. I liked the stock calendar, but this bug made me give up on it and start using Business Calendar instead. I just missed one too many appointments because the alert kept shutting off.
