Does anyone know how I can get my contacts birthdays to show in my calendar?
When I go into calendar and click on calendars to be displayed, the contacts birthdays calendar is checked but does not appear in my calendar.
The only way I am able to show the contacts birthdays is if I go to calendar and calendar storage in apps and clear the data

I would love to know how to fix this as well.

Open Calendar and tap menu -> Calendars to display. At the bottom of the screen, tap "Calendars to sync" button. For each calendar (if you have more than one), check the box next to "Contact's birthdays and events".

Works for me.

I still cant get mine to automatically update.. Even after syncing

I don't know what else to offer. My guess is that your People list (where, presumably, you have stored the birthdays) is not linked to the same account as your Calendar.

Have you tried verifying all the info from your calendar and contacts from a PC? I always had issues setting it up from phone, but once i jumped on my computer and setup everything, it started syncing automatically.

Yep.. Everything is synced and fine when I check it on the computer. Just refuses to update on my actual calendar.. Unless my calendar app is interfering somehow?

Hi, I have the same issue.

Make sure both contacts and calendar are synced when you go into settings, accounts and Google Account.

Then go to settings, all apps, find calendar and calendar storage. Clear the data on both and then everything should be working fine.

None of the above worked for me. But the following is what did.

1) On a PC, login to the Google calendar account you have synced on your device.
2) Settings> Calendars> Browse interesting calendars> More
3) Click "Subscribe" to Contacts' birthdays and events
4) On your device, open Calendar app
5) Menu> Calendars to display> Calendars to sync> Contacts' birthdays and events.

^^ That's the process that worked for me.
