Hi all,
I'm trying to seting up a reminder for a task but I can't do it as I want...
I'd like to set a reminder for a taks (call a friend saturday afternoon for example...) on the exact day and on a given hour (saturday afternoon at 14:00!)
Is it possible? I set the reminder and the Jam ask me for a day.... okay but at what time the reminder will be notified with a sound? How does the reminder for a task works?
Just use Appointments? :shock:
With appointments it works but if I have to call a friend I think it's a task not appointment....
To set the exact time a task reminder will notify you for an event you must set the task from MS Outlook. In Outlook you can select the default time for the device to remind you for future tasks set on the device. As for tasks set from your PC you can manaully select the time. I believe the standard default time that a task reminds you is @ 8am on the day of the task is set due. Hope this helps.

I am using the 'auto fetch' feature in Pocket Outlook to poll for new emails every 15 minutes. Is there someway of disabling this feature at night so it does not wake me up when a new email arrives?
Looking to change alert times
I'm using ActiveSync but instead of changing the sync schedule I would prefer to create an alert schedule.
It would allow me to sync always but only beep during working hours
Any ideas?
I'd have thought SKSchema would be able to sort this out for you. All you have to do is find the relevant registry key and make a script scheduled to change it at the relevant times.
Thanks to Chalky for pointing out SKSchema on this forum.
The outlook calendar never notifies me about the upcoming meetings though i can see the meetings on the Today screen.
On Settings --> Sounds and Notifications --> Notifications tab
for Event = Reminders I have all options checked
Play Sound : Notify
Repeat
Display message on screen
Vibrate
Flash Light
But no notification comes up.
Make sure the appointment itself has the Reminder option selected - 1 min, 2 min, 15 min...
Might be too obvious OR you may have a more serious issue!
Yes. The appointments do have 15min reminders. PC's outlook pops up reminders window.
In that case it may be that your notifications have built up, or that there are duplicates in there.
First make a full backup. Then:
Get Checknotifications (free but basic) or Memmaid or SK Tools and check the notifications. Use the software to remove all duplicates, then look carefully at the remaining notifications which start with Calendar or Clock. Make sure that they all occur in the future. If any past or obviously strange notifications are there, then delete these. Don't delete notifications where you don't know what they do.
Then see if your reminders work properly again.
WLM alone puts 2+ duplicate notifications on my device on every soft reset.
Hi,
in the jade TF2D Settings there is an option which sets the phone to vibrate when there's an appointment. unfortunately this recognizes every appointment, like birthdays and appointments marked as "free time".
I'm now looking for a tool which lets me specify during which kind of appointment (category, free/occupied,...) the phone should be set to vibrate only. I know such function is included with spb phone suite, but i just want a standalone program, preferably free without any bloat...
thanks in advance...
Anyone knows how to make appointment stays all day at that day of event in HD2?
Because, before when I used Universal with soft TodayAgenda, an appointment or a birthday event should stay normally whole day on my lockscreen or S2U2 lockscreen.
In HD2, it will disapear at that day and the next day event will show up.
How to make even of that day stay whole day (from morning till 24h)?
Please help me.
When you create an appointment, in date section you should choose the "all day" option. Keep in mind that WM lock screen doesn't show all day appointment, for that you should use S2U2.
Unfortunately two key PIM features though available in Windows Mobile have been hidden by the Sense UI
1. Snooze by N minutes
2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking
1. Snooze by N minutes
When you get a reminder on the HD2 for a pending meeting you only get the option to "dismiss" or "snooze" In Windows Mobile (for as far back as I can recall) you always had the option to snooze by number of minutes you got to choose from a drop down menu i.e. 5 minutes before, 15 minutes before, 1 hour etc). This was a very useful function as you got a reminder closer to the time rather than get a reminder every 5 minutes as with the HD2. This can get really annoying if someone has booked a meeting with you with a reminder over 15 minutes ahead or you have many meetings. You end up spending loads of time just hitting snooze.
2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking
When you book a meeting with several people windows mobile shows the invitees of that meeting and their acceptance reply i.e. declined, accepted, no response. Again the SENSE UI has hidden this so you just get a list on invitees.
It is very useful to me as you need to know if the meeting is worth running based on reponse to the meeting invite.
Anyone got any suggestions/tweaks etc?
1) BsB Tweaks has a setting to re-enable the time options in the notifications.
2) Make a shortcut to Windows\Calendar.exe, and you get the standard WM calendar view
