At the moment - I get woken up every day at 6am by my Trion reminding me I have an all day event that day scheduled in my calender.
How can I set this to go off at 9am instead by default please?
Thanks for any help!
Dan
you set it in clocks and alarmes in settings
Can't find anything in there apart from setting specific alarm times which is not quite what I want.
I need it so that when I create an 'all day event' in the calander with a reminder, that that alert time is relative to say 9am and not 6am!
Technically it would have made sense to have the all day event alert at 12 midnight but that wouldn't have been much better for my sleep than 6am...
Uncheck "all day event" and set the meeting to start at 9am, then select the rest of the day in the calendar........
Yeah except I synchronise my pda with Outlook.
Outlook puts 'all day events' in a separate section at the top, allowing me to schedule other things during the day. If i set it to start at 9am and finish at 9pm it has the disadvantage of
1. being a longer process
2. blocking up the day
Surely they can't mean to wake everyone up at 6am every day there is an all day event??
Dan
Shouldn't an 'all day event' block the whole day anyway?
It seems you're not using 'all day events' as they are intended, and then complaining that they are not working the way you want them to work.
You must be an executive.
I'm assuming you're already at work for these 'all day events' of yours that all start at 9am but don't take up the whole day, so just turn the reminders for them off altogether.
Forums are for being helpful..
Dear Doom, it has to be said that your suggestion was not helpful and your comment as "you must be an executive" was particularly childish. I too have this problem and am not an executive I assure you. What kind of events do I wish to schedule as all day, have a reminder for, but yet have no start time? Scheduling things like birthdays which have no start time and no impact on my day would seem a fair example, it is after that person's birthday all day... Then there are system installs that span whole days, they don't have a time they are expected to start, or end, they are in fact pencilled in for when the engineers arrive. There are also loads of those jobs that have no particular time associtaed with them but need to be done - check tapes, contact customer, etc.
If anyone has a suggestion on how we can schedule events making use of the Outlook reminder facility, without logjamming our Calendar and without being woken up at midnight or 6AM it would be appreciated! My Outlook is configured so my working day starts at 8AM.
Sounds like that would be better served by using tasks....
Yep. Listen to AlbertoM.
I too have suffered this problem and now have to set the reminder to n.5 days (e.g. 1.5 days) so that the reminder goes off at 12 noon rather than midnight. Bit of pain having to remember to do this but it is better than getting woken.
in outlook you can set it as 'busy'. Can you do the same thing in calandar on the 8525/tytn?
Even I had a similar problem waking up at midnight, I thought there must be a way to fix it and I was lazy to look for it. Since this post came up, I thought of building something up to convert all my 'All day events' to fixed time events.
Here it is

I am not sure if it completely solves the problem but might help someone
This could also be handled easily if you have outlook installed on your desktop. Just go into options and on the preferences tab select calendar options and adjust the start and end times, as far as I know this just highlights those hours differently as they are considered your peak hours. The begin time you set will also be the time your all day event reminders go off. Sync your device and these settings will be applied to your device as well.

Are you sure on the above? I have already the Start time and the End Time set in outlook on pc. Still my device notifies me at 12:00 AM for all day events.
Is there any other setting to change?

My appologies you are correct i must have been thinking back to my last palm device. Oddly enough i'm suprised i haven't set up a all day event with a reminder to have noticed this That is very odd that this is the way it is handled. I mean it makes sense and all since 12am is when the device moves the date forward. Kinda makes me wonder when my first birthday reminder goes off 2 weeks in advance, guess i'll be woken up at the the stroke of midnight 2 weeks prior to the birthdate.
marnel47 you don't have to apologize it is obvious to assume that device would notify to on your start of the day, even though it is logically correct to wake up at 12:00 AM. But there should have been some setting to notify at day start time. (Exactly same behavior is experienced on the desktop reminder too)

Hi,
This affects only the text messages or also the time on the home screen and World Clock?
Start > Settings > Phone > TimeZones. Check Automatic change time zone and clock.
Hey,
I'm looking for a program that we had a few years ago already which allowed to send sms at scheduled time on a WVGA(800x480)screen (xperia)?
we had RAHSMS but it's not available to download anymore and I am not sure if it works on a WVGA screen.
thx for your help

How to set starting day to Sunday? Currently my HTC touch diamond 2 is starting on Monday that I used to starting on Sunday? Any advice?
Go to Calendar, then Menu then settings and change the First day of the week to Sunday
Hmmm I don't have Menu button in calendar?!? What am I missing?
Nothing...but you must go into program callendar /TF tab only representives this../
Ah! Got it!
You need to go Programs/All Programs/Calendar to get under Touchflo's radar, then Menu/Tools/Options.
On going back to Touchflo, just select something other than Calendar and then go back to Calendar.
Thanks!
Cal question & comment
I had a hella of a time finding the cal in my ROM version. win6.5 Leo R4
Start --> Office Mobile --> Calendar --> Menu --> tools --> options
Whew.
My question. 1/2 my meeting gets cut off. Seems there is too much info in the meeting request and some dail-in numbers get cut off. anyone have any idea on how to extend the kb's so that the entire meeting request is sync'ed to the phone (from outlook)?
Hi everybody. I have a strange issue with the search function and exactly with searching appointments through calendar. When I start a search and I type the description of the appointment, the result arrives only 2 month ahead. For example : if now I look for a repeating appointment , the result of it arrives only until 6 th of march but I'd like that it shows me April and so on too. If I go into calendar and take a look month by month and I redo the search, It shows me the appointment I was looking for. Why????? Every time I need an appoitment more than 2 month ahead I need to scroll all the calendar and then It gives me the desired result. I tried to explain the best way I can in english. i hope someone can help me
Thanks a lot
