I wish it was that easy. I've diabled the stock calendar and installed a different one and same results. I've had this problem since I was on G5. I have no idea to what's causing this.
Not the calendar app causes this but a other app with some add/spyware in it.

Well, check permissions on all your apps, and block all the ones that shouldn't have calendar access.
Then check Facebook and block that calendar access, because that seems something that would pop up in Facebook and no one would check.
Finally, it's likely that all that stuff has been synced to your actual account, so you're going to have to delete all those entries.
If you use a Gmail account you can do it from Google calendar online, and if you use something else, you'll be able to do it from that calendar.

Thank you my friend . I did not know you could do that. It took some doing,but its all gone now.
Glad to have helped. Be careful stuff like that doesn't get synced to your account again.
Edit: good to see it's solved

Hey guys
I tried searching the forums, but found nothing on this. I'm looking to refresh all the facebook photos that are used in the sense contacts. I have done the link/unlink and sign out of facebook for sense in the past, but these get annoying because I then have to relink all the accounts. Now that I have root, is it possible to clear a cache of these photos somewhere so that they refresh? I'm really trying to avoid having to re-link so many accounts again.
Thanks
.
I was wondering the same thing, myself
Yeah, that **** doesn't update at all.
They are also pixelated as ****.
Well this kept bugging me too, but I just keep doing the sign out of facebook and resign in trick...
I don't know why this would unlink all your contacts to their facebook accounts, as whenever I sign out and sign back in, nothing changes except the contact pictures...
I also am not deleting the account then creating a new one if that helps...
If you have the contacts backed up to Google remove the face book account then clear contact storage under manage applications then re-sync Google then re add Facebook. Hope that helps.

It has something to do with Friend Stream and the way things are linked with it.
I know I have done it before and when I choose refresh it does go out and update their Contact photo's to their latest Facebook photo.
I just sat here playing with it and I can get them to update as long as they are linked. However if you have a photo saved into an Outlook contact, it will not update, it will force to what Outlook has set. (I know this is true for Exchange, but not sure if it is same for a Desktop Sync)
Hope this helps !
From Android Central.... (I cant post links)
If your facebook contact has changed their picture and you want to update it on your phone, go to
People > Online Directory > Facebook > Click refresh.

I second this... What is really weird is my wife doesn't have this problem, all of her contacts sync perfectly, it definitely frustrates me lol.
Refreshing them through the facebook directory only refreshed them in that screen, not in my normal contact list. The app was a great suggestion though, thanks!

What I found is that once you scroll over a contact it will add them to the 'to update' list. So if you scroll through your contacts when refreshing then it will update them all ----very slowly though.
Is there any way to get the calendar app to completly disable the "My Calendar" part?
When adding new entries in calendar, i have to manualy chose google calendar each time i add a new event. I want google calendar to be the default calendar. I tried only checking google calendar in settings (unchecked My Calendar), but each time i add an event, i have to manualy chose google calendar even though My Calendar is unchecked in settings
I know its probably not a very big deal for some, but i have set up google calendar to sync with phone and outlook, and chances are, ill forget to chose the google calendar when adding an event on more than one occasion
("My Calendar" wont sync in google calendar, so thats why i have to use google calendar)
Any help would realy be apreciated. Thanks!
(PS: My phone is rooted and im using fw JM2 if that can help in any way)
I agree, this is a big irritation. I keep quickly doing calendar entries and forgetting to select google calendar, then when I check on my desktop the event isn't there. I really hope there is a fix for this.

I agree, the single most annoying part of the phone for me !!! We need a fix either from Samsung or the Dev community. Anyone know how to contact the correct departmen tin Samsung for a fix?
Good to hear it isnt just me who is annoyed of this. When you uncheck "My Calendar" in settings, it should set google to the default choice when adding a new calendar entry.
Hope someone can fix this.

Is there a customization what would allow me to record calendar items which takes place
- once every two weeks?
- Happen the last wednesday of every month?
I find the stock calendar too limiting in this aspect, and wonder if that can be fixed.

What the hell was I thinking. Of course I don't have that much patience.
I tried it and yes! it solves the issue. Calendar entries are saved by default as google calender entries. Thank you... (BTW I did it using this "manual")
I guess the same will work with the standard contact application (same problem there)
Thanks for that info!! I will give it a try as soon as i have some spare time

Im not sure, but if you use Google Calendar sync to sync 2-way between Outlook and gmail, then gmail sync against google calendar on phone i think you can do this if you put the entry into Outlook. (Maybe google online calendar has this function aswell, not sure, the Samsung Calendar does not as you pointed out earlier)
The way to do it would be like this:
Add the entry in Outlook.
Sync against gmail with google calendar sync. (This can be done automaticly on different intervals with Google Calendar Sync)
Sync phone google calendar with "online" google calendar. (This can of course also be set up to be synced automaticly from the phone)
This should in theory work
Please give feedback if you try it.
Hey.
Where is TouchWizCalendar.apk & .odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk & .odex, and InfoAlarm.apk & .odex located?
Nm, found it
/system/app for those else who wonder.
But unfortunatly, there is no com.android.calendar.apk or com.android.provider.calendar.apk in the Manage Applications list. (Even though i filtered with all)
Apperantly this doesnt work in JM2
Other people with JM2 have also reported problems installing the APK`s.

It worked like a charm on JM2 and now on JG5 .... I followed the instruction quite literally. (rebooted between every step etc etc)
Well, i cant uninstall the calendar stuff since it isnt listed in application manager, thats probably why i cant install the apk`s.

Not sure what you mean by broken. I have it loaded and can browse around without issue although it is clearly not designed for tablets. I have also not posted anything using the app but can verify that it does install and can browse without a problem.
Won't Sync
I cannot get Facebook to sync. Anyone else have this problem? Application seems to work otherwise.

What do you mean by sync? Like the phone, add it to Accounts and Sync in the tablet settings? It is not showing for me here as it does on my phone. I do not think that will work until we get a Honeycomb version.
EDIT: Actually it does show when trying to "add account" but does nothing.
I can't use the FB widget. It's FCs on me when I drag it over to a screen.
As for FB/Google integration... there appears to be a fight between Facebook and Google. I guess Google patched up some type of exploit that FB was using to merge/link contacts. It's fine for HTC, TouchWiz, MotoBlur... but not with a direct Google experience device.
Just search Google for more info on this. I read only a paragraph or so and got bored of the politics behind it.
If I remember correctly, facebook is now blocking google from exporting numbers/pictures status's.
This was on the news somewhere

It still works on my Samsung Captivate though.
Same as others.. Can load the app and use it however trying to add an account to sych friends, as I've done on my D1 Droid, it blinks then does nothing. After doing this I've found occasionally the actual app then crashes, even with reboot, and must be re-installed to get it back.
I'm sure a native Honeycomb version will arrive in due time.. For now I'm just using TweetDeck which works great for various accounts including: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc.

Yes they did. Google wants them to use there software to sync thru.
I'm using HaxSync already but it creates new account and stores pictures in it's own. Are there any app takes photos from fb and overwrites them to google contacts?
Check out HaxSync's Advanced Settings
There are 'n' number of such apps
I believe HaxSync already does that for you, but if you want a free alternative, you can try some of these...
Contact Sync for Facebook
Sync.ME

Yes there is an option for it in HaxSync but it didn't work. For me at least. Also it says, "overwrite photos stored in google" So maybe it only changes if contact have a picture before sync. I didn't comprehend this fuction properly yet :silly: Trying your suggestions too now.

HaxSync writes the new pictures into the Google Contacts on your phone. It might take a while for the Google Sync to sync them back to the Google Servers.

Call me stupid, but where do I find the advanced settings.
In fact, I saw them one time, even could manually assign some pictures, but now it's gone.
I open Haxsync, it asks me what to sync and that's it.
Edit: Yes, call me stupid. Found it in the Accounts
I tried to sync with Google calendar from Settings/Google account, it says synced but when I go into the default Calendar app and refresh the calendar is still blank with no entries.
Did lot of settings and cleared data under Calendar in Apps and enabled/disabled and re-synced as well but nothing is working. Also followed this but it didnt helped either.
What can be done??
My phone calendar still shows just one test entry I had created.
Rest my phone is working fine.
I thought so too, but I found out that entries are just not marked. For example i have important thing on 09. of february (which i synced with google on my old phone) and it wasn't marked. I tried and tried everything, but the last thing I did is click on that date to realise the event is there and synced, but just not shown in color.
@nri_tech1183 as stated in your link you just need to clear data and cache for Calendar Storage app. Then enter Calendar app and wait a few seconds, all should be fine.
If issue isn't gone try another calendar app to see how it behaves.

I had to install Google Kalender first. After that I was able to enable the different calenders that I use in google. Now I have 2 calenders installed. I might just get rid of the Sony calender. One is more that enough...
