Missing "all day events" when on Month view - P3600 General

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!!!!

ALL calendar items synced into one day!!

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.

Calendar or outlook question

Is it possible to set up an anniversary in Calendar or Outlook that occurs every year but doesn't have a start date? The problem is that they always attach an age to it so in year 2 it is classed as 1 year old. I have some anniversary's which I either don't know the start year or some I don't want to show as an age.
Any help would be great.
I'm sure I'm missing something easy!
maybe that

It's easy, just set a yearly recurrent appointment somewhere late in the morning so it does not disturb your sleeping..., and name it "My friend xxx aniversary".
You will see no age or anything else. You can mark this "whole day" so it will appear similar to aniversaries and the like.
Hope it helps.

I don't understand sorry.....bear with me. As far as I can make out, as soon as you make an event on calendar recurring, it needs to have a starting date. So in a years time (if it is an all day event) then it has an age next to it. So after 1 year it is 1 and so on.
But I want to have a recurring event without an age next to it! If you can do that then please explain in more detail.
Thanks
I don't see the "age" you mention. It might be that we use different Outlook versions.
Would you mind to post an snapshot of your calendar?

When I work out how to take a screen shot of my Trinity I'll get that to you.
Just to mention the 'age' only shows up on the Trinity, not in outlook. So it is a problem with the calendar on the Trinity not in Outlook.
I hope that makes sense.

I see now what you mean.
Try to UNCHECK the "whole day item" option in your agenda, mark a duration in hours (or minutes or whatever fits your needs) and confirm if it works. In my Trinity it does NOT display the "age".
Hope it helps.

Month View Doesn't Show All day Events

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.

Calender / Appointments

Hi all, I have added friends birthdays as appointments in my calender. They appear in the day view or week view, but not in the month or year view. You have no idea when there is any apopitnments. Is there a way to have say for example the day in bold or a different colour in month and year view?
Also I can not find any place where i can see all my appointmnts? So if i have to look up somoens birthday.. i cant?? If i have to remember what week they are in then go to that week, whats the point. Surely there is a way to see all your appoinments somewhere?
Also what i noticed, is if you complete the birthday field in the contact, thats no use, a it doesnt appear in your calender.. which is strange.. whats the point of having a birthday field, if it doesnt show in the calender?
I have looked at Thembcalc, and although it shows you have something in the month view, you still dont know what. So if I wanted to find out when "Jim's Birthday" is.. i'd have to scroll week by week until I find it. Its not just for birthdays, but any event.. For example you book a concert in advance.. say 3 months in advance.. then you forgot when it is, so you have to find it.. Is there a list or something that you can view all events/appointmenst etc.. sortable by name/date.etc ?
Thanks in advance
Strange, I always get a triangle which indicates there is something at that date in month view, it won't say what it is untill you click on it, but atleast it would show whats on for that month anyway. All day events(like birthdays) is represented as a green square.
birthday

if you set the contacts birthday field from outlook (PC), it automatically add it to an appointment...if you do it from PDA it doesn't......very strange....and useless of course to have to set birthday always from PC.....
I have tried adding the birhtday in contacts on the pda, and it hasnt gone into the calender, hence why i added tem as appointments. I dont want to sync it to my home or office pc, as i'd prefer the phone to my my primary organiser. My office has all work related stuff (heaps of stuff), and my home pc is used but my other hals etc, so again has more stuff then just what i need. Oh wells.. i can live with this issue..
however how can i get the list of all the appointments in the calender.. and be able to sort/and search for different fields.. ?

No Full Day Appointment on Default Lock Screen

Guys,
Did anyone notice that when you set your appointment to Full Day, it will not appear on the stock Lock Screen, it will only show appointment with Start Time and End Time.
Any solution to that?

Yes it's true........any solution?
Also noticed this... bummer...
I though about contacting HTC for this one, but since the lock screen is a WinMo default, they don't have anything to do with it...
However, maybe there is a reg tweak someone found regarding what to show or not to show on the lock screen?
I think they did that on purpose. To show your next appointment just before it. What they didn't consider is if you have two appointments in a row. The second appointment will show when your second meeting has started, which is too late.
They should consider this:
I have two or three appointments, set as tentative, that are running in the same time. This means, if I understand correctly, that I will basically choose one of them to attend to. However, if I only want to remember which appointments are next (so I'll quickly turnon the screen, the lock screen pop-up up and shows some quick calendar info), I can only see one of them, thus completely forgeting about the rest of them...
Now I'm sure they could have found a better way of doing this!
For some reason, if an all day event was not set via HD2 for example on a web browser, I dont even see an all day event at all in any views (day, week or month).

I'm not quite sure I understand how you set an event in the Web Browser... Are you talking about OWA here? If so, you should check your ActiveSync server configuration settings. Maybe the app. are not downloaded because you chose not to sync them with your server! Or maybe you are using the Peak Time feature, and you've tried to create an appointment outside the peak time: the result is that you'll see the appointment in your phone only after:
1. you manually Send/Receive
2. you wait for the automatical Send/Receive to occur
3. you get into the Peak time
Hope it helps!

Sorry should of made it clearer. I am using Exchange server. I have push enabled, so auto send/receive. If I set an all day event using OWA, this does not show on HD2, if however I set an all day event on the HD2 it shows on both the server and phone. ROM 1.43 was fine, however 1.48 has this bug. I also have a touch pro and Omina 2 which also work fine.

This is what I just did:
- i've created an all day event for today and an event that starts at 11:45 AM, today. Both were synced with my phone, after I've pressed the Sync button in ActiveSync, so this works.
- afterwards, I've created an event that will start on 14:00, and waited for it to be synced with my phone (so NO manual Sync) -> worked like a charm.
- since the two app from above were created using the Office Outlook app. from my laptop, I've now created an app. from OWA, which starts on 12:30. Once again, there it is. I've also created an all-day app. for tomorrow from OWA: worked again!
Could you please detail on what date and which options are selected for you app. that doesn't appear in the phone calendar?
Good luck!

Hi, any other appointments except all day events work fine. All day appointments for either today or any day in the future (if set via OWA) do not show on the calendar on the HD. What ROM are you running, because I didnt have this problem with 1.43 rom only 1.48.

1.48.405.2 (71294) here. I've just deleted the exchange account and tried again. It still wont sync all day events. Bloody annoying. Oh and phone rang and crashed. My patience is being tested!
Uhm...
Phone crashing while calling: that a new one...
As for the sync issue, do you have a second Exchange account you could test? Surely, using a different server.
Also, what version of Exchange do you use?
