Hello,
i have all Birthdays from my contacts entered about Outlook in my device. The standart reminder is adjusted to 1 week. Now the alarm starts always at midnight and i want change that to another time.
Can someone help me? I think it is a registry key or so.
Thx a lot, i have searched with google on german sites and always here in the forum but i find no answer.
It's annoying - I would like that changed too.
Hello,
i have searched in the registry but without an positiv hit. With Memmaid i can see all entries for birthdays, but where find i the database for this entries?
Thx
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is no way to change the reminder time or just a work around.
Any help would be great!
Regards

If somone knows how to change, I'm happy to.
i dont remember how, but i turned it off completely. i would like it back on, and to change the time. it used to make me angry when it would go off at midnight.
You could set the reminder time to 7.5 days so that it goes off at 12 noon rather than midnight...

Hi All,
have been searching for the past hour for a solution to my problem, but to no avail. Is there any software/registry hack in WM5 that will give me the option to 'snooze' an alarm/reminder for 30mins?
The default list that pops up has 5mins, 15mins, 1hrs, 1day but I need 30mins. Currently I do 2 x 15mins then a Dismiss.
I use PI 2007 and Pocket Plus, but the snooze times appear to be a feature of WM5 rather than either of these two programs.
Even better would be a custom snooze, so I could say remind me again in, e.g, 22hrs.
All the work arounds I have seen so far involve going into Calendar and duplicating the event with a later remind time which is far from ideal.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
Reminders (most, not all) have stopped working on my Advantage. They show correctly in the calendar and sync with the desktop where the reminders pop up but for most of them nothing happens on Adavantage.
The odd one still works as normal but for most of them although the agenda shows the appointment about to happen no pop up, sound or even notice of a reminder having been missed appears.
I seem to remember a slightly similar thing happening with WM2003 after I had changed the time zone, and had to delete and then reinstate each appointment to get the reminders up again. But in this case neither has the time zone changed nor does deleting and reinstalling (nor before you ask soft-resetting) the device makes any difference.
Any ideas anybody?
Resolution
I had some recurring reminders which were set to go off at 1 minute before and some at 0 minutes.
When I set all of these to at least 5 minutes before everything returned to normal.
Strange unless there is some time issue in the device or OS somewhere - anyway, just in case someone else gets this problem.
It may sound funny but change time zones, have it change the time zone. Then hold the power button until it asks are you sure you want to reboot. Let it reboot then change the time zone back. Sometimes that helps cuz it will rebuild the alarm database.
Your other option is Scarybear fix notifications and Check Notifications. You can view the alarms and remove the ones that are invalid. You need to be careful though. Delete the ones that say NULL.
I've benn through this for YEARS and that's the only way I've had 100% success.

I agree with everything hammermedia says bar one - I find Scarybear sometimes doesn't too well on WM5. Dinarsoft Memmaid does the trick
on the notification queue for me.
Snooze options
While we are on the subject the thing I HATE about WM5 compared to PPC2003 is the fewer snooze options.
Got quite excited over mention of memmaid to look at queue as I totally rely on these notifications but often need to set the snooze to x hours but having had a brief look I see that one can delete but not amend.
Don't want to try scarybear if there are reports of probs on WM5
On my old universal I spent ages trying to to get PocketMax Alarmtoday working to give me more flexibility. I will try again on Advantage now.
Any way of hacking the reminder snooze options? or Other programs people like?
still not snoozing
Just a brief update have got alarmtoday working fine which does have helpful options - regulates the sounds for how long and really like the 'mute all sound for a flexible period' - how many times does one forgot to turn the sound back on!
Alas it still uses the WM5 options for handling the reminder when it pops up so I can't tell it to remind me 8 hours
I have BA with Xplode's WM6 ROM installed and i have installed HTC Home plugin some weeks ago i found something strange: whenever i sync (i use calendar sync) it changes from vibrate (my default "ring") to sound on.
Also when a calendar reminder appears, it does not vibrate as i have select it but rather plays a sound.
I've never noticed this problem before installing HTC Home.
I've searched and found this threads with similar problems, sometimes the oposite, changing from ring to vibrate, whenever changing something on calendar, but with other phones:

It seems that there is some problem with HTC Home + Calendar/Reminder and vibrate / ring options.
Is anyone experiencing the same ? Any solutions ?
JP
I'm experiencing the exact same problem, but I cannot find a solution. I posted it in the ROMeOS forum for the Kaiser and no one had any ideas there. I didn't have this problem with stock. It is 100% reproducible on my device. I leave mine on vibrate 24 hours a day all of the time, however I started noticing (after flashing) that many times my phone would adjust to ring from vibrate. I realized if I ever changed appointment settings (even if I open an appointment, change the time, change it back, and hit ok), it will automatically change from vib to ring. My phone still vibrates whenever there are events coming up, but so far my phone hasn't gone off in any meetings yet :-/
When googling I found this similar post at ppcgeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=190440
Still not much info there, someone mentions some fixes but doesn't say anything more about them.
I tried turning the "Reminder" under Sounds & Notifications settings to not include a "ring" option (unchecked it) and now I can edit calendar events without it changing to ring.
Thanks, i will try it.
JP
Eh I changed the time of a calendar entry today and after hitting ok, it changed the ringer back on :-/ Sorry I must have had a tard moment earlier.
Jason
It happens to me sometimes that creating a new appointment won't change vibrate/ring settings, but shifting an appointment will.
But that doesn't always happens, oddly.
What happens all the time is that when synchronizing with Outlook calendar, it will always switch to ring.
JP
Syncing w/ my outlook calendar does this too. This is getting annoying enough to almost want to go back to a rom from AT&T :-/ I have been searching and searching and I haven't found a solution yet.
Jason
Looks like HTC Home might be the culprit. There is supposedly a fix:

Hi everyone,
I've been lookin over the internet and in this forum for this trick, hope someone can answer.
I'm this kind of guy who has more than 3000 emails in my Yahoo inbox (always been lasy to create folders and sort...) and I'm using Pocket Outlook to refresh some of them.
Actually, I would like to get on my phone not all messages (3000...will take to much space) but at least the last 3 months ones.
Unfortunately, when setting up the email, the only options I can get are:
"download messages...
- today
- from the past x days" where x = 3, 5, 7 or 30
- all messages"
I don't want to download all, but downloading the last 30 days is not enough.
I've try to check anything into the registry without success.
Is it a way to customize the number of days?
Thanks !
Hi,
regarding to (see section EmailAgeFilter) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455976.aspx this are all Options you have.
I don't think it's configureable to some custom values.
best regards

Hi,
Thanks for this piece of answer.
Strange that this kind of this is completely fixed and cannot be changed at all, even in registry.
Anyway, I will try to sort my emails...........
First off, let me say that i heavily rely on the calendar on any smartphone...
On my nexus one, when i create a new calendar entry it defalts to a 15 minute reminder. Since i always want a reminder this is a great time saver. On the Vibrant, the default reminder is not set at all. Does anyone know how to change this?
Thanks

Isn't there a setting for a default reminder (Calendar->Menu->More->Settings->Set default reminder)? Sorry I don't have Vibrant but that's how it is on G1)
Let us know!
unfortunately there is no setting like this
