I have a problem with assigning birthdays for my contacts.
This is my first Android phone and before that all my previous phones had this feature to set birthday and even alarms for them.
I understand there could be third party apps but does android really misses this feature?
I have milestone with 2.2
I edit my contacts with birthday and so on my pc in gmail.com
On the Milestone/Droid you need 3rd Party App
For alarms on birthday, do that online with google-calendar on a pc.

Hi all..
I have been searching for a contact app and a calendar witch will sync with google and Facebook.. but without luck :-\
So my question is, can any1 upload and share the std from HTC? I like it and would like to use it, if it's possible? Atleast just the contact app ;-)
Thx :-D

First of all..
This is the wrong section in which to ask questions..
Do that in general..
Second..
You can only use the HTC apps in stock HTC Roms..
So you need to be more precise in what rom you are planning to use these applications.
LauncherProPlus (LPP) has clones of the HTC contacts, facebook, twitter, calendar, friendstream widgets...
Oh sorry.. i use the nightly builds ;-)
Will try launcherproplus then ;-)

IF you are refering to the actual contact list, it is possible to sync with FB. Just download the official FB app, log in and activate sync in settings. This syncs pictures and some info.

I don't quite understand what you need exactly. I'm also using a nightly build (43) and my contacts and calendar are synced with my Google account. I didn't check with Facebook cause I don't have such account (and hope not need to have one ever) but with Google works fine. I'm not using any extra applications just the ones provided with the build. I have installed Dialer One and a calendar widget but that's nothing to do with the synchronization itself. That is done through Settings - Accounts & Sync
Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

Use quickpic, 100x better gallery and free

its been really annoying that facebook events and birthdays have ceased to sync with my calendar for a long time now. contacts do sync with phone but calendar never displays events. i thought this jb leak might have this functionality but no. is there any way out. also pen detection does not work on keyboard like before when keyboard detected spen, handwriting pad would automatically emerge. does anyone know a fix to any of these, then please share.

What app are you using to sync? In your calendar, under settings, make sure the correct account is set to be sync'd and displayed.
Thanks but I don't want to use third party apps

Hi Folks,
I've come from a Samsung Galaxy S3 to a new shiny HTC One which was delivered a couple of hours ago. Just getting set up and was wondering whats your preference for email setup. With my company using Google Apps i've always just gone ahead and used Gmail but was wondering if the 'Mail' app was any better?
Regards
Sam
They are both really good, I guess if you have multiple email accounts the mail app is better than the dedicated gmail one because you could easily switch between accounts

I use the Mail app because I have 4 email accounts so easier to manage, I would still use this app if I only had one gmail account tbh, its much cleaner looking.
Gmail definitely. Don't like the native app.
Probably no help but I have been using both the HTC native mail app as well as the Gmail app. Personally I like the look and feel of the native app but I think I have been just to used to running my email accounts on separate apps, hasn't hurt me yet.

Hi All....i had a similar question. I am having a difficult time with the native email app that it wont scale my e-mails to fit the screen. Can someone please help me with this. The gmail app does it automaticaly....but i cant get the HTC one native app to do the same.
So I don't know if I'm missing something obvious or if htc severely crippled sharing in their sense OS. Basically I'm trying to send a contact card to a colleague and the only options available in the contact app is via SMS or the built in htc email app (along with Bluetooth, NFC etc). Every 3rd party android app lets you share via any other app on the phone but is htc really limiting us to just their built in apps!? I don't use the htc email app and I want to send via gmail but I simply don't see a way to do so. Is this possible!?
Nobody else who uses gmail shares contacts via email?
I agree that it is unusual as I frequently send contacts from my phone via gmail to my work computer. The workaround I'm using is to add my gmail account to the HTC Mail app, and then turn of sync and notifications for the HTC Mail app. The only time I use it is when I send a contact.
