Birthday / Calendar integration

[pervertedSloth]

Hey. Just wondering if it's possible to have events created automatically, in Google calendar, for birthdays taken from from my contacts. As far as I'm aware I have synced all my Facebook contacts' birthdays with my Google contacts using Uber Facebook sync (or some other totally rad hipster name) - although they are not visible anywhere (is this even possible?). I might be mistaken - please advise if I'm wrong.

If this isn't possible - what would you suggest is the most headless and easily maintainable way to receive birthday reminders? I don't want to manually create events annually.

Bump.

I don't know about the standard Google calendar, but try aCalendar. It's just a skin over the Google calendar info, but the interface is *much* better and it will put the birthdays in.

Not sure about Facebook contacts because I don't have them synced, but the Samsung calendar will add birthdays to your calendar from your phone contacts.

Open Samsung calendar > Menu > Settings > Calendars > My Calendar (check box) > then scroll to bottom where it says Show Birthdays > Contact's Birthdays (check box)

Thanks. I just decided to create reoccurring events in the Google calendar.
