I spent a good amount of time trying to sync my gmail contact?s birthday calendar with Windows Phone.
The reason that I'm still using gmail account for all my contacts is that Hotmail (Outlook) doesn't allow to insert a picture for the contacts that don't have a Microsoft Account picture. So?
Here is a trick that works:
1) Send yourself or type in the Windows Phone browser the following link:
https://m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/welcome?source=mobileproducts&hl=en
2) Open this link in your Window Phone
3) Sign-In with your Google account
4) Select appropriate device
5) Check your Shared Calendar
No other ways seems to work at this time.
I hope this will help other people and novices who has recently switched from other platforms and experiencing a hard time to set it up.
Best regards,
Ruslan
