A feature I really liked in the android builds was how it synced facebook events/appointments and birthdays with the android calendar.
Is this feature configurable in WP7?
Not sure you can, but then I didn't realise you could in Android

Me and my wife work together and were wondering if it is possible to sync her gmail and my gmail account so we could view each others appointments inc.?
Add it in gmail
Setup your calendars in gmail and it will show up on your phone... at least with Sense. What ever calendars you have listed in Gmail calendar will be an option on your phone.
thanks didn't realize i could do that before the whole google "mail, cal, voice" is all new to me
So I've just flashed a Gingerbread ROM after coming from mcr r9 for a few months. Prior to that I was on stock Sense 2.1 (I'm sure some may remember that! )
With 2.1 the calendar app, you had the option to have a good few calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
a "my calendar" or similar calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
and iirc UK holidays
and maybe the Facebook calendar
With 2.2 going into the Calendar app and pressing [Menu]>More...>Calendars>[Menu] they removed the "my calendar"/"personal calendar" but you still have these calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
UK holidays
Facebook calendar
Now in Oxygen rc7/test build @6 Feb 11 you obviously get the new 2.3.2 calendar.
It looks like I only have
your google/gmail account calendar
UK holidays
So my questions are:
Is that correct or is the calendar still a WiP?
Is this something google are slowly changing over the android revisions i.e. Is this a feature of gingerbread or the 2.3.2 calendar? - So that people are forced to use google calendar as their sole calendar...
I need to use Outlook calendar on my pc and sync both a WM phone and this android phone from that - I don't want to sync my calendar with/migrate to google calendar thanksbutnothanks.
Do I have any options/workarounds other than to go back to froyo?
Thanks for reading this far and for any insight/help you may give.
I have had succes syncing my Outlook with something called Myphoneexplorer (for PC there is an android client app for this program.)
But I have found syncing the contacts can be a bit of a pain because of the multiple contact sources (facebook LinkedIn and Google) and it take some work to actually link the contacts on the phone to remove and combine the dupes.
I haven't had time to play with it very much but it did sync my contacts and calendar.
Still a robust and cloud consolidating option would be a god send.
Not sure if that would require better cloud support in Outlook but it seems logical.
i rooted my htc wildfire to cm7 and couldnt sync my facebook calender
I think, it's only possible with sense roms, but I'm not sure. I couldn't sync too with facebook.
you have to add your facebook calendar to google calendar on the internet and then sync it in your phone. i had to do it too

hi
I am looking for an app to sync yahoo calendar.
Currently it's easy to sync a google calendar with many apps.
But if i want to have another calendar, it's impossible to include it.
Does android have "blocked" this feature to stay alone in the system ???
So if someone could give me advices, it would be nice.
There is an app called Just-Sync--for-Yahoo-Calendar
You can find it easily
:laugh:
Does anyone know how to get the Facebook calendar to sync? Specifically with Pure Grid Calendar (though it gets it's synced calendars from the Google app).
TYIA!

HaxSync works for me. Though I dont use Facebook that much, but my friend's birthdays does get synced.
