Facebook birthdays not appearing on calendar

[jerethi]

For some reason, I am not seeing any of my facebook friends' birthdays appearing in my calendar. I have added a facebook account and the phone shows that my calendar is synced. Any ideas why this isn't working?

Same problem here. I just noticed. Apparently some people are suggesting using a third party sync app. Meh....


Another option is to go into your facebook calendar on the web, export the birthdays as a file and add it to your google calendar or if you use hotmail's calendar, you can do the same.

Same issue. It says in settings that my FB is synced, which includes birthdays, but nothing.

I used to use an Incredible and sort of miss that opt. I'm thinking it may just be the way Samsung's Facebook sync is setup. Seems like it would be a relatively easy thing to implement...

Here is how I did it?..

From the Calendar App ?

​

Menu ? Settings ? Calendars ? Add Account

You should be able to select Facebook. From there answer questions about permissions and whatnot and follow the prompts. It took a minute for my contacts? birthdays to be added, but they were. Worked like a charm!
