I'm an htc tattoo owner, and i'm watching for a way to copy contacts' birthday (retrieved from facebook) to the built-in calendar. I'm not afraid to develop a custom app but I'll be more happy if there's one built-in or already existing. Do you know if there's a way to read contacts' informations and write it to the calendar?

How do you copy android contacts' birthdays to the calendar?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've seen quite a few people wondering how to get the birthday's from their contacts (either google, facebook or both) into their calendars. Here is how to do it.
First, Facebook limits the way you can view their data (phone numbers, birthday's, etc.). They will allow you to view it, but not to scrape the data to transfer to another app (which is why there is no way to sync your google and facebook addressbooks). I remember a while back somebody wrote a facebook app that would sync with Plaxo and facebook shut down the users account within a day of him starting to use the program. Because of this limitation, you will need to add 2 calendars to get all your birthdays and if you have a birthday in both facebook and google, that birthday will appear twice. That being said, here is what you can do.
To add Birthdays from Google contacts to your Google Calendar.
1. Using a computer go to calendar.google.com
2. Top Right corner, click on settings/calendar settings.
3. Under Calendar settings click Calendars
4. By Other Calendars, click Browse Interesting Calendars
5. Under Interesting Calendars, select More
6. Subscribe to the Contacts' Birthdays and Events calendar.
7. Return to Calendar, your Contacts' Birthdays should now be appearing.
8. On your phone open the calendar app and go to menu/more/refresh
9. Go to menu/more/calendars and make sure the new CBE calendar is checked.
10. Back to Calendar. The birthdays should now be showing.
11. If they do not appear, try menu/refresh.
12. If they still do not appear go to menu/more/calendars/remove and remove the CBE calendar then menu/more/calendars/add and readd the CBE calendar (this is what I had to do).
*Google does not currently have a way to add reminders to this calendar. You can add a reminder to any individual birthday, one at a time, from your phone, but the reminders will not sync back to the web version of Gcal and will only work on the phone.
To add Birthdays from Facebook to your Google Calendar
1. Go to fbCal.com - Facebook Calendar Generator, and click Get your calendars now
2. In facebook click Allow/Allow/Allow
3. Under "Subscribe to Friends Birthdays" click the Google Calendar icon
4. In Google Calendar, Select Yes add this Calendar
5. In Google Calendar go to Settings/Calendars, double click the calendar with the really long complicated name, and rename to fbCal or something else you will remember, Save. Facebook birthdays should now be showing in Gcal.
6. In your phone calendar, menu/more/refresh
7. Menu/more/calendars/ and put a checkmark next to the fbCal calendar.
8. Menu/more/refresh
9. Everything should be working now.
*If you go back to the fbCal page in facebook, you can follow the same process to create a calendar for Facebook events. You CAN create regular Google notifications for both facebook calendars.
I have my Droid set to display my "contact's birthdays" calendar, BUT there are some contacts that I have deleted but their birthdays still show up in my calendar ONLY on my phone. When I look at my google calendar on a computer, the birthdays that belong to those deleted contacts are NOT displayed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe MIUI calendar (or contacts) app gives me daily notifications with the text "Today is XY Birthday, don't forget to say happy birthday or get a present". My contacts are synced with facebook, so I get this notification for all my facebook friends. I don't give a damn, so how can I disable these notifications?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having difficulties with ensuring I get a reminder alert for when each of my contacts birthday is due. This seems a remarkable omission for a phone. All my previous phones have just performed this function without needing any setting up, assuming the birthday is set in the contact. I have so far learned that you need to ensure you have changed the settings in Google Calendar online: Settings -> Calendar Settings -> Calendars tab -> Browse Interesting Calendars -> More tab -> Subscribe to Contacts' Birthdays and Events.I have done this, and now the birthdays appear in the Calendar application on the phone. Can someone please enlighten me on how I can ensure an alert is generated for these birthday reminders in the calendar?
View 18 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that looks at contact details, and if there is a birthday section, it adds the date to your calendar. Because i'd like my friends birthdays to show up on my calendar but i don't look at my contacts often. I also don't have facebook. I just want an app to scan my contacts and see if theres a birthday section and add it to the calendar
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I link my contacts to Facebook, I see there is an option to import their birthdays as well. I think this is a great feature, but I'm not sure how exactly it works... Is there a way to link this to the Calendar widget? I'd like to have reminders set up for all of my contacts' birthdays (but not have to individually set up each one).

However she now needs to return the phone for service (silent call bug) and she went to G mail to ensure all her contacts was backed up... they are not. It seems the contacts are stored on her phone (Eris) and not in g mail. How can we import all of her contacts from the phone memory into G mail?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a calendar app that will let me copy parts of the detail section.
I create a new event on my computer. The details are usually a few pages long (For business) Google syncs it to the calendar widget. When I open it, I choose edit so that I can get to the copy app. But when I try to copy a section it wants to copy all text or none.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better calendar app? I use this feature a few times a day for business. It was easy on my Storm ;p . I want to figure out how to do it on my DIC.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBecause I have to send my Samsung Galaxy I7500 back to Samsung (the audio plug is broken and does not detect disconnecting the headphone) I try to get my contacts back to my Sim-card. This is so I can use my good old Nokia 6200 again. Now since there are no options in the standard software, I downloaded this app. Contacts 2 Sim. It has a function for copying contacts and this SEEMS to work (it gives me a message saying it copied 192 contacts). BUT... When I put my Sim-card over to the other phone nothing has changed. Also when I, switch my Samsung off and on again (after copying to SIM) the contacts are already gone from the Sim again. Is my SIM locked or something? It is a bit annoying so if someone could help me out it would be great.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI've got an old Sony Erikson which obviously has all my contacts on. I've just got the hero, and want to import my old phone book. I've put the old Sim card in the hero, but can see no way of copying the info off the Sim. I synced the hero with the old card in it to my pc. Will this have copied the info over, and do I just sync the phone again to have the info copied over. I notice that all my g mail contacts are on the new phone. I assume using g mail on it has just carried it over, but no phone numbers. Any advice on best way to do this, much appreciated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to copy the contacts stored in my Milestone to the Sim Card. The phone settings do not seem to allow this which is bizarre given that this function is standard in almost all phones I've had before. I downloaded an app from Android called "Copy to SIM Card". When I tried to copy the contacts it just said "failed SIM locked or full". As far as I know the SIM is neither locked nor full (in fact it is empty!) so I guess the App just doesn't work.
Does anyone have any advice / ideas on how to complete this very basis task? The reason I need it is to try to syncs my Milestone with my Audi car blue tooth system which currently refuses to recognize the contacts on my phone. If anyone has had similar issues with comparability between Audi blue tooth and the Milestone I like to hear from you.
Having trouble adding contacts as favorites though so wondering if i do the above it might make any difference.
