Motorola Droid Razr :: Sync Facebook Events To Your Calendar?
Mar 6, 2012
For some reason, I'm currently unable to sync my facebook events to my phone calendar. In the Settings>Accounts, my facebook account is listed. When i tap on my account and enter my username/password, I'm brought back to the list of accounts, and I can't sync either my contacts or my calendar with my phone.
I used to be able to do this on my Galaxy S and could do it for a minute on the Razr. Does anyone know what happened, and if I can re-establish the sync? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling facebook, but it didn't do anything.
I have a DroidX version 2.2.1 and I use Corporate email. When I type in a new Calendar event into the phone it sync's to Google fine but it does not sync to my Corp Calendar. The same happens for Contacts. Here's what I've found:
1) Phone to Google works 2) Phone to Corp does not work 3) Corp to Phone works 4) Corp to Google does not work
When I first setup the phone, I setup Corp email and Gmail and the sync worked well. Some time later I removed my Corp email account from the phone only to re-add it a couple weeks later. Since then, the sync does not work the way it once did. I have set the phone so that my Corp account is the default account. I receive email on the phone with no issues. I want my Corp Calendar/Contacts to match my phone no matter whether I enter them from the phone, Google or my Corp Desktop.
I have an HTC One. I have Facebook sync for Events and Contacts set up on my phone. I noticed something peculiar today: my Facebook friends' birthdays are syncing on my phone, but my Facebook events are not. I don't know if this is a recent problem or if it's always been there (never really paid attention). I removed my FB account on my phone, uninstalled the app, reinstalled the app, added my account again, set up the sync and I was still having the issue. I've tried searching extensively on this forum and throughout the web, but no luck so far.
i cant seem to sync my fb contacts.i entered my fb email/pass into the accounts appit said it was ok, but no contacts show up in my contacts nor do any show up in my gallery app. i tried re-entering the info, removing the acct, adding it again, rebooting my phone etc. now, it looks like there is a tiny bit of progress.. i can see "me" but that's it. in the contacts app, if i only select to display fb contacts, it just shows me and not body else. in the gallery app, if i hit menu and then hit "friends" again, it only shows me. why is this not pulling in any contacts/friends?
Facebook Calender sync with Bionic?Is there a way to do this? My Samsung Charge (POS!) did this, and was wondering if there was something I needed to change in the Bionic to do this..I'd also like to add that this phone fricking Rocks. I had the Samsung Charge for 3 weeks and I think I got a minor ulcer from it - muted calls, reseting, freezeing on reset. The screen was beautiful, bout all I have to say nice about the phone.I will say - it chews up the battery, but that's ok. I expected that from the begining. I'm just really impressed with it. Only problem or complaint I have is the blue tooth dialing.. It's locked up and reset the phone three times.. it's very differnt from the way it worked on my droid. Seems to be a diffrent program all together.
how often the social apps for facebook and twitter sync for those accounts integrated on the RAZR. On the Bionic which was very similar, we had the option of selection "PUSH" or we could fetch the data for those feeds at different time frames. I dont see that option at all on the RAZR, and i would rather not have push going all day for facebook and twitter...
Okay, so I've been having issues with this for months. It's starting to become aggravating. I'm using an unaltered (not cracked, no custom ROMs, etc) Droid X2.Android: 2.3.4System version: 1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.USKernel version: 2.6.32.9-00005Build: 4.5.1A-DTN-150-30nyways, the built in calendar is constantly deleting appointments. It will literally delete them 2 seconds after I save them. It's to the point where I have to fill in the details of an Appointment a minimum of two times every single time. Recurring appointments don't delete themselves. But appointments that only occur once disappear instantly.
Yesterday for example I had to input an appiontment 4 times before it finally stuck. After saving it I then re-opened it, hit Edit, and made sure all the details were still there. I then re-saved it and closed the calendar. Opening the calendar again (right away) it was already GONE! The 4th time it finally stuck. This was yesterday. Today, looking at my phone right now the appointment in question is missing AGAIN.'m also noticing that whenever I open the calendar it always shows me a date from like 2 months ago. So it will not open to the current month/week/day. This has always been the case.
I see with the ICS update, Motorola has added (back) events to contacts, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. However, I can't seem to get these to display in my calendar.
Under Calendar... Menu... Calendars to Display, I managed to figure out how to add "Contact's birthdays and events", and it is checked, but they still don't actually display in my calendar.
BTW, I assume that a birthday of like 9/15/1990 will show up in the calendar on 9/15/2012. I am using the stock ICS contacts and calendar (no extra apps). Has anyone gotten this new ICS feature to work?
This may or may not be a Turbo-only issue, same qualifier for Lollipop as well. But, it is noticed, so I ask.
When I put an event on the stock Google Calendar, I specifically have my settings to say NO notifications. I look at the event when created and it has NO notifications. Yet 10 minutes before the event like clockwork, boom, notification.
I'm going to go into the desktop version of Calendar and see what I can do there, but this notification stuff is annoying.
I opened the calendar shortcut from the circle time widget on the home screen of the droid turbo. While the calendar was opened, I hit the refresh button and now all of my events have disappeared! Everything-past,present,future gone. "Refresh" doesn't mean "delete" so I'm not sure what happened here but I had TONS of info in that calendar. How to recover the events?
I have noticed for some time now that my Droid can sometimes lose some of the recurring events in my calendar. They "dissapear" even when I haven't made any changes to those events. (If it happened once, I would admit that I may have done something and forgotten. But, I've had the problem for a while and am very careful with recurring events because of it.) Toggling the sync in the Settings>Accounts and Sync section sometimes helps, but often the best workaround is to make some minimal change to the event by logging in to Google Calendar and resave it. I typically add a space to the end of the event name. Once I do this, the future events appear on my Droid once again. Because this workaround does the trick, I assume this is a bug and not user error.
I have a Bold 9900 and have recently upgraded to Facebook 3.2. I have now lost all my events (birthdays etc) from my calendar (When I am logged into Facebook, the birthdays appear in the calendar and when I log out, they disappear).
The first was notifications and I have been given to understand that the folks at Nokia are working on it.the second issue is the calendar. In the settings I have asked it to show Facebook and google calendar events. However, the calendar refuses to sync and show events. It's squeaky clean how do I get the calendar to show Facebook events and birthdays?
I am trying to get my calendar on the phone to show birthdays in my facebook contacts and other contacts on my phone. All info is on phone in contacts but will not show on calendar. When I open calendar it tells me that I need to sync calendar
The Verizon Sales assistant assured me that I'd be able to Sync my Outlook with my Droid Razr as easily as I synced it with my old Blackberry Tour. Now, after several days' worth of set-up, google searches, forum searches and FAQ's, I'm come to the conclusion that Motorola did NOT build this function into the Droid Razr, and I have to pay a hefty fee for a decent 3rd-party app to do what my Blackberry did for free. Have I missed something?
I just switched from the default Samsung calendar app to the Google Calendar app. Events from my primary Google calendar, "Personal", appear on the Google Calendar app on my S5, but the calendar itself doesn't appear as an option when creating new events or in the Settings page. As a result, I can see all of my events that I enter via my PC browser (correctly under the label "Personal"), but I cannot add new events from my phone to that specific calendar. My other, less frequently used Gmail calendars (Birthdays, work, a few shared calendars) appear.
for the past 5 years I've been using W810i. I've contacts with birthdays of my frnds. when i trnsfr that contacts to my ray thru Bluetooth. i got the contacts but the birthday can't sync with the ray calendar.
I just noticed that after I exit the facebook app it continues to use 20 to 35% cpu. I have refresh set to never & notifications off. Looks like it just sits there using cycles & killing the battery. Once I long press home & swipe it off, it's cpu returns to zero.
I have been trying to figure out why my calendar events in my iPad and MacBook don't accurately reflect what I put in my iPhone. I can see some of the events, but not all. I have iCloud sync activated in both devices, and on my MacBook. I primarily add and view events on my iPhone, but would like the changes to be reflected across all devices.
Just upgraded computer to a new 13-inch MBP. Business is moving over to outlook for mail & calendar services. Previously, I synched my iCalendar between my iphone and computer. Now, however, when I put new events into Outlook 2011's calendar, they will not sync up with my iPhone's calendar. I have done everything in iTunes that I can think of, including resetting my calendars in my phone. No luck.
I have just clicked calendar sync - hoping to sync all my calendar events with google calendar.However it has deleted all my events both past and future.
I am not able to sync the calendar on my iPhone 5s to ical on my mac running OS 10.7.5. Things I've entered on the iPhone calendar won't transfer over to ical, but syncing does seem to work the other way. I've tried some of the fixes suggested (deleting the sync file using Terminal, toggling on and off the different calendar options, etc) but nothing seems to fix it.
I had random issues with the fb app when on GB also, but now it wont start at all, or, it starts, then goes black and never recovers. finally about 10 - 15 minutes later I get a pop up message that the app has stopped responding and do I want to report it. Of course I report it every time.
I tried uninstalling the app completely but could not do it. I could only uninstall the upgrades made to it previously, so I tried that and then reinstalled the upgrades, but to no avail.
I did not realize that fb is a permanent app. I thought I could uninstall it completely, but I cannot. Has anyone else run into this with fb?
yes I did have other issues with ics and I have cache cleared and started uninstalling app's where possible. I have NOT tried a factory reset yet, but that may very well be next.
I just got ICS for my Razr,it runs realy smoothe but it Can not find how to separate the contcts from face book and my phone,,Gingerbread u went to contacts and separate it in settings
I cannot update my Facebook information in the messaging widget? I can not connect my media spooler to Facebook??? The phone is new an already in one hour I got an update. Why did the update forget to resolve all the issues?
I receive many invites from co-workers who use Outlook / Exchange to create appointments. I receive the appointment, accept and add it to iCal on my MacBook Pro (10.7.3) just fine. I sync my calendars to my iPhone and iPad via iCloud.I can open the appointment and view it on the MacBook and via the web-iCloud interface, but if I try to view it on my iPhone or iPad, the Cal app will crash immediately. It happens with 100% of the accepted invites on both iOS devices. I've rebooted the devices to no avail. Any alarms associated with the appointment work on the iOS devices, but I just can't view the appointment. Manually created appointments have no problems.
If you enter a calendar event in the Thunderbolt and identify its duration as "All Day" and also indicate that it reoccurs every year on the same day, when you sync with Outlook the event will span two days in Outlook - the date selected AND the prior day.
In my situation my "Date & Time" Time Zone setting is set for "GMT -04:00, Eastern Daylight Time." But when I view the event in Outlook after a sync, Recurrence shows the following information as an example: Occurs every February 21 effective 2/21/2011 (GMT) Monrovia, Reykjavik.
I think this indicates that something is causing the data to be entered into Outlook under a different time zone and showing it as an "overlap" in my time zone.
If I enter an event as "All Day" but don't have it recur, the sync works just fine.
