Just as the title says. How do I go about getting my contacts birthdays to appear on my calandar as events?

Go to the Settings page, select the Calendars tab and click on "Browse Interesting calendars", then go to the More tab and subscribe to the calendar "Contacts' birthdays and events".

to clarify, this needs to be done on your google calendar online, which will then sync with your phones calendar, though you might have to make sure on your phone that the calendar is set to display as well

There's no way to do this on just the phone. I don't have all my contacts on google. Basically most of my birthday dates come from facebook. Blackberry did this better.

i am also trying to sync my facebook calender and i can't figure it out. as a former blackberry user, switching to my first droid its all new to me. baby steps.... baby steps.
my blackberry did this automatically for me.

Does this only work for events or for birthdays also? I did exactly as it said but no birthdays are showing up.

**miamifin33** · 07-25-2010, 10:42 AM

Will that sync birthdays as well or just events?

**mlynchmob16** · 07-25-2010, 11:25 AM

I tried it as well and only have other events showing up on my google calendar, not birthdays. I tried to see if I clicked on birthdays then export if it would work, but the link was identical.

if you want to sync the facebook birthdays i just found this facebook application through a easy google search not 100% sure its going to work but i tried it out and slowly birthdays are being added to my calendar...

**miamifin33** · 07-25-2010, 10:24 PM

**mickeyd1488** · 07-25-2010, 10:52 PM

in the calendar app menu>more>my calendars and boom, though i think in the calendar app, you are only able to select calendars that are synced to your google calendar
