Hey there
When I sync my TyTN with my laptop, the notes for the appointments don't sync from my pc to my pda. It works the other way, so notes made on the pda are on the pc.
With tasks and contacts it also works both ways, so I am wondering quite a bit about why those notes don't work
No suggestions?
Are you talking about 'notes' or the notes on the actual appointments in outlook?
Are you/have you been using any kind of PIM?
Are you /have you been using any kind of 3rd party notes program?
What version of desktop outlook are you using?
Have you moved anything eg databases to your storage card using sk tools, memmaid etc?
This must be really irritating for you, I know I really rely on notes a lot.
It is the notes that are in the appointments them selves. So when I make a new appointment on the pda, and make a note as part of the appointment, both note and appointment sync. When I do the same on my laptop, only the appointment, and not the notes for it, syncs.
I am using Outlook 2007 beta 2 and syncing with AS 4.2.
The notes for the appointments are the only thing not working 100 %. The contacts notes and the tasks notes works fine, as well as the notes them selves.
Maybe it's a prob with 2007 beta?
I'm using 2003, so I can't help you there. Maybe someone else on the forum is using this and can confirm that they don't have this problem.
I have found a thread which seems to link to this problem for you:

Whoops, here's another one, seems like it's a common problem

Hi everybody!
I've noticed that the birthday information set in Contacts is not displayed in the Today screen of the TF3D.
Does anybody knows about a solution for this?
Note: an obviously solution is create a calendar event for every birthday but I'd rather use information in contacts
For some reason my birthday information works, and i had no events set!
I'll look into it and report back as to why it works.

That's because you've synched your device with Outlook. Doing so automatically creates reminders in your Calendar.
I sync with Exchange Server and it doesn't create automatic reminders. So, I'm screwed, like the thread starter... I wish there were a way to create reminders for contacts birthdays without having to sync with Outlook.

Mmmm... I sync with Outlook 2003 and I have no reminders... But I used to have Outlook 97 and I remember that in some contact information (probably those created in Outlook 97) I've seen shortcuts to calendar events (probably I have reminders just in those ones)
May be Outlook 2003 doesn't create reminders automatically any more... Or may be there's an option to activate in order to create them.
Anyway that could be a solution for me... Let's investigate!
I'll check too.
I belive that once I set the birthday in contacts (outlook 2007) it works fine. I'll let you know
I belive mine works, but I'm not sure I'll investigate too
I have a similar problem.
I sync with outlook 2003 at work (but dont check the contact option) because this outlook has "n" work contacts that i dont want in my personal mobile.
At home if i sync the contacts (could not check the calendar because its synced with other computer - work) i dont get the allday events from the birthdays.

I think I've got it!
Ok... The fact is that REMINDERS WORK! As simply as it is...
So... Why did'nt I get the reminders in the Today screen? Easy... I did got the reminders but I DIDN'T SEE THEM.
The problem is the Today screen. The clock is sooooo BIG that covers almost all the usable surface of the screen, so the Diamond only shows you one event at a time.
If you want to see the rest of them you have to scroll down. But, what if you don't know that there are more events in the list? You won't be notified!!!
I think I would be enough if the Today screen would show then number of events that happens today. So the user would be notified and our reminders would do the job.
Any ideas?
mine doesn't work as well. using bepe's 0.99dx rom. i don't use outlook at all. pimbackup does the backup job for me
stupid slow connection...
i tried different things out, and it seems to be working fine for me. when i add birthday to a contact in outlook on my pc, it shows up in the calendar as an all-day-event, and syncs to the diamond. same thing if i enter birthday on the diamond and sync it back - it appears in my outlook...
however, those events are only created for the future, so if you created now a birthday for somebody, who was born on, say, August 1., it would first appear starting from 2009.
the only problem that i have is that for some contacts there are multiple birthday "events" in the calender, but this might be somehow caused by me cross-syncing my contacts first with neo/elf, then with touch, and now with diamond...
Hello, today I use Microsoft Outlook, but, these is much large, and I don't like it... my question is: there is other program with I make my appointment and my contacts?
Thanks
sorry my poor english..
In short, no. I used to use Thunderbird as my mail client, and there is supposedly a way of synchronizing your phone with it, but I could never get it to work. I have since converted back to Outlook. Everything just works much easier (suppose it was made like that ). Contacts, Calendar, Notes and Tasks.
Hello all,
It seems that TD2 does not insert birthdays from contacts in the agenda. The solutions would be that you manually add them to the agenda (of course not a real option) or sync contacts with Outlook, which will put them into agenda as well. I personally would prefer not to use Outlook for my contacts.
Is there a fix that birthdays are automatically put in agenda as well?
Thanks!
Am I really the only one who is waiting for an answer?
The TD2 does not, as you say, add birthdays into the Calendar, but Outlook does, and these birthday calendar entries then get synchronized back to the TD2.
The only way I can see a "fix" coming is by programming an app for the TD2 which scans contacts and inserts the birthdays into the calendar, checking of course that they're not already there - I guess this would need to be run manually every time you add a new birthday into a contact, or at least periodically (maybe it could run in background once per day), but as far as I know no such app exists yet.
To my mind, synching with Outlook is the best way, because not only does it solve the problem very well, it also means you have a backup of all your contacts and calendar entries. To me it's a no-brainer.
I've just had a quick check on my calendar and all my contacts birthdays are in there. Even anniversarys are showing

Yep - you synch with Outlook, correct?
I am syncing with outlook, I have been for some devices now. So the birthday reminders are showing up as allday appointments in my calendar. The reminder time for all those birthdays is 2 days in advance, the calendar shows all that correctly. However, I never get one of those reminders!! All other appointment reminders work fine and so do the task reminders, so there's nothing wrong with my notification queue. But the birtday reminders aren't popping up. On my old cruise I got a reminder two days in advance AND on the birthday itself. Now I get none of them.
What's causing this? Can anyone confirm that you have or don't have birthday reminders? I'd appreciate any reactions.
I've found this information in the blackstone forum. I can see that D2 is adding "calendar.exe /allday" notifications to the queue too. I guess memmaid, which I'm using, deletes those notifications.
It was indeed Memmaid that caused the problem, deleting the /allday notifications. I e-mailed their support, hoping they'll fix it. In the mean time, I excluded all notification queue maintenance from the cleaning schedule and recreated the notifications for all my birthdays via ActiveSync.

I'm really annoyed with this problem too. The bigger problem is I'm using an Apple macbook to sync, so using Outlook is out of the question. Looks like I'll have to add all the reminder myself
Having a look around the forum, there appears not to be a quick and easy solution to this.
It's not ideal to have birthdays in your contacts and then separately add them in your calendar as appointments (like others, I think it defeats the objective).
There is a software, not yet tried it: http://www.xoddy.com/products/
but it says its only for WM5, not sure if WM6 will support.
Looking forward to an answer or someone to develop a simple software that will resolve the issue - apologises I don't have the knowledge to do this.

That's one of the penalties of not using a single-vendor solution. If you used Microsoft Outlook with your Microsoft WM phone, you'd be fine. Using an Apple computer with a Microsoft phone OS, you're bound to hit some snags.
I'm sure it's the same for people using iPhones with Windows PCs. Manufacturers tend to make their own products work better together than they do with the competition's products, which makes sense!

I use syncmate to sync ical and address book, within ical prefs, you can show birthdays, these will then sync onto phone
I used to sync with outlook, but it had a habit of changing appointment/birthday dates, usually makes them a day earlier, but only for some, have had no probs with syncmate
Hi
I'm working on a program which will provide various notification related functions not normally included on Windows Mobile.
1) Will add contact's birthdays and anniversaries into the calendar.
2) Will give audible alerts at regular intervals like most mobile phones for text messages/missed calls/emails to get your attention.
3) Option to silence the alerts during the night at a schedule you can select, plus also turn the phone off over night and turn on the next day, good for battery life.
I'll post when it is finished.
Regards
Phil
sounds great!!!
sounds great ... Have you just begun or are you about to finish?
Hi
It is almost finished, I'm just testing it at the moment. It's based an application I did for the Kaiser.
Regards
Phil
Sounds good PhilipL!
I already programmed a solution for this, which will add all birthday reminders to your calendar (without the need for outlook) but it's in german. I'll translate and upload it shortly.
Here it is BirthdaysToCalendar, derived from a sample application included in MS Visual Studio 2008. It will add all or selected birthdays to your calendar.
The program offers a few choices, either add all birthdays to the calendar in one go or let it ask in single steps for each contact's birthday to be added or not. Set the reminder time (time you will be informed prior to the birthday) in minutes. 1 day would be 1440min. , 2 days 2880 min. and so forth. On top you can have the birth year added to the subject, so you will know how old they'll be.
No duplicates will be generated if the program is run again. However, if you have a birthday alert set up manually yourself, but they are not in the the same form (John Doe's Birthday or Birthday John Doe) they will be duplicated.

No, this is my app -
So what's up with Outlook syncing in Android 2.2? Why is there no simple notes application on this new version of the OS? Why can't it sync with all Outlook features as it did in version 1.6?
It looks as though I will be forced to use Google docs and use something to sync that with Outlook. I use Outlook notes and tasks for work and really need them back on my phone.
I just needed to type and store a quick note on my phone and discoverd that there was no native application for that. Will there be a solution for this in Gingerbread??

no native.
i use VCOrganizer (tasks, calendars, notes contacts and categories)
(use only 1 way contact sync or u find doubled contacts on the phone)
it works also with outlook 2010 64bits
i treid many but this is the only one i found that sync also outlook notes
not free

...feel your pain. This has been my biggest challenge too coming from years of (relatively) painless Outlook to phone syncing with WinMo phones...but I am loving this more and more every day!
Basically I ended up "moving to the cloud"...using CompanionSync (worth the $$) to auto sync O2k10 to google.com (includes tasks) and EverNote to sync notes. DropBox for documents and folders. Tasks appear in the google calendar on the due date.
syncdroid.net
This problem (and a full list of potential synchronisation solutions) is well documented over at http://www.syncdroid.net/
Does anyone know is there have been any further developments towards getting all of outlooks features to sync with android??

I use enhanced email. Not sure if it supports tasks and notes, but the developer is very active on his forum for enhancements.
Just noticed the latest version of PC Companion (updated today) includes 'Sync Zone' which allows you to sync your phone Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 'via Google'.
Haven't tried it, cos I got this set up ages ago using gSyncit, but, obviously, Sync Zone is free so good news for anyone who wants to do this but hasn't worked out how to yet.
i don't have it on mine
version 2.01.110
I Don't know how is it going to clash if you are using Moxier to sync with Exchange (which I'm doing ATM)
Anyone knows about this, please share.
Thanks.
mine showed up finally. works good, some of my merged contacts come into outlook wrong.
I have the update also and I am using it now to sync the contacts between my Google and Outlook now, I use companionlink software to sync previously.
I tried this, and it seems to work well enought. Only problem is it doesn't let you select what Outlook profile you want to sync. In my case, I have two Outlook profiles setups (one for me, and one for my wife). When I tried to sync my wifes contacts onto her phone it grab my profile and merged my contacts with hers.
Anyone know how tell it to use another Outlook profile?

I assume you are using two profiles under the one Windows log on.
The best way is for your wife to logon as a different Windows user. In that way everything is kept separate. It makes life a lot simpler.
This is great news for me. Add the improvements with 2.1.A.0.435, including multitouch and video editing and SE is starting off the new year pretty well. Although, you wouldn't know it with all the whiners bashing SE here on xda.

I've tried and worked OK for me... callendar and contacts sincronized... the problem is, MS Outlook works very bad with Gmail IMAP account, and crash every time i try to move a mail from one folder to another.
So far, back to Mozilla Thunderbird for me.
For me, it keeps crashing everytime I run a sync

It has totally screwed up my contacts - added random e-mail addresses where they shouldn't be and deleted contacts it shouldn't have. I've used sync software for years, and I understand how it should work - be warned - it doesn't - if you want to try it, make a back-up of *both* address books first.
I click on SE Sync from PC Compaion
i look at Dashboard and only my bookmarks were synced
Everyone should be careful with their outlook sync. Google uses non-standard labels for contact fields. If you have custom labels for anything, it will not translate well to outlook. Same thing with their imap protocols.

is anyone else having this problem - when I generate an Outlook appointment, it synchs to Google Calendar fine, when when it re-syncs, it rolls back the time & date in Outlook Calendar ...... ??????????
