Why is it EVERY TIME I start a sync agreement from scratch on WM5, it synchronises all of my calendar items but puts them ALL in the present day. And by present day I don't mean as in "from the 1800's til te present day" I mean TODAY. So I have 1000 items all sitting on my Today page.
Damn thing.
Am I missing something obvious?
Stupid WM5. The more I use it, the more it p1sses me off.

I have some WM5 Calender problems on my Trinity.
When I view my calender on Month view, my "all day events" do NOT show as small square boxes.
However, if the "all day event" was created with the Trinity then it shows fine and syncs with Outlook 2003 fine.
But, if the "all day event" was created with Outlook 2003 and synced with ActiveSync 4.2 then it doesn't show.
Although my "all day events" DO show when in Day view on trinity.
Is this a known issue or am I missing something?
Thanks
As far as I haved worked out, if the all day event is set as "free" then it will not show as a box in the month view. If its set to anything else, "busy", "out of office", "tentative", it will show up in month view.
Hope this helps.
People's birthdays don't show up in Calendar. Is that normal? I could have sworn they used to show up on my HTC Wizard.
Did you set options to sync all events or only for a certain period?

I kinda forgot where you set that.
Speaking of which, is there a registry hack for making Month view the default view for Calendar?
Thanks.
Changing the events to anything BUT "free" worked.
I read that Outlook defaults All Day Events to "free" and Appointments to busy. So I had to change all birthdays, etc.
I also would love to default to Month view on PPC...
IT WORKED!!!!

THANKS!!! I was able to fix the problem in minutes thanks to you!!! Is there a way to set ALL appointments as busy?
I have a an intermittent problem on my Tytn. Every so often I put a Monday calendar entry in, then when I look later at the Today screen I find that although the appointment time is correct the day is showing as Tuesday. When I look in the calendar it is entered correctly as Monday.
Anyone any idea why this happens?
Thanks,
Al

This is a well reported problem and may have something to do with time zones. You will need to search here and on google. Possible searches to include 1 day and 1 hour outllook wm5 calendar etc.

If the meeting is after 3 or 4 days (for example) my tytn will always show MEETING TOMORROW. why is it so?
Try the google search on sticky above. When I just tried there were a few. For example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271325
Oh, and this is a general WM5 issue so don't limit search to Hermes or even just this forum.
Oh and!!, also check the "1 hour" out error because one hour out takes an all day appt into the next day - so the two things can be related.

I entered all family birthdays in Outlook but I don't see anything showing in the calendar on the Touch in the month view.
They show up in the day view.
Any way to configure it to show these events in the month view?
I was having the same problem. My Tilt used to show them but all of a sudden it stopped. I read in another post that if you set the event as busy it will show up, I tried it and it worked! Hope this helps! Credit goes to: hongsit
Items marked as Free do not show on the month view. Items marked as tentative show on the month view. Items marked as busy show on the month view and if your profile is set to automatic will change the profile automatically to meeting during the times the appointments are set and back to normal thereafter.
This is standard WM functionality.
Well, I just tested it and it works!
Exactly what I was looking for. I've even been looking at purchasing a program that could do just that but hadn't found one.
It's perfect! I can only wonder how many "hidden" tricks Outlook has up its sleeve.
Thanks so much for the info.
I have been trying to enter birthday as an all day and recurring appointment.
When you do this for the month that it is (ie. if i do it for december atm). Its fine. When I try to jump forward to January and set another 'all day' and recurring appointment (recurring on the same day every year), nothing happens after I press the 'done' softkey (I mean it goes to the day screen, but has no appointment added). I can only make an appointment if i do it as an 'all day' and 'does not repeat' and then go back and edit it to be recurring. Bit of a pain when you want enter birthdays for the year ahead.
Anyone got this problem or know a solution?
Tks
i have this issue as well i did let htc know about it with a long list if other problems. they then started investigating the sms problems and now they have "enough data" for a hotfix they want to close the ticket, not sure though if they meant to fix this issue as well.
As for a workaround make a non-repeating appointment, fill in all data as you want it but just a single appointment save it then edit it to make it repeating, worked for me at least.
Thanks mate
I gathered the way to get round it but it just another thing that seems not to work properly on this phone. I so want to believe its a good phone but I keep finding these bugs which make me lose faith. Anyhow, my 14 day returns ran out today so I'm stuck with it for the next 18 months! HTC and wm7 better sort it out.
I hear that, I'm in the same situation, however I don't think I would take it back overall it is a nice piece of kit just too many bugs. been thinking about getting a no hassle replacement but I really don't think it'd do anything, just need to wait for htc to do the patches, then for wm7
I have taken to using the WM 6.5 calendar when adding or editing things. This is not a WM 6.5 issue it is an issue with the Sense UI calendar. Go to Start -> outlook folder-> calendar. You get much better functionality its just not as finger friendly or pretty.
Weird thing is that when you try to enter these 'all day, yearly recurring events' nothing happens in the sense UI calender nor the outlook calender (having entered via the sense UI calender), but if you sync with my phone you get all the phantom events in that calender!
Hey i was wondering if theres an app or a way to automatically schedule my school schedule into the calendar from now until june. i dont want to add my classes day by day just wanted to see if i can set the calendar for say organic chemistry every tuesday from 1-230 pm from now until may 15
AGREED!!! The recurrence in the HTC calendar program sucks!
Couldnt you do this in outlook and then sync your phone? I always do it this way and it seems to save time. Not sure if that helped you or not...

This can be done easily in your phone's calendar: create the appointment on the first date and time, in "occurs" go to "edit pattern", then you can adjust the periode (in your case weekly), start and end date. That´s all.
thanks! exactly what i was looking for
