What is the best application which will allow viewing a list of calendar appointments between two dates on one screen ?
(Correct me if I am wrong, but WM5 does not allow you to see a list of calander appointments from different days on the same screen).
Thanks in advance for your advice.

My calendar is free and does that, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53834
Hi,
I like on the Xperia thht in the calender, when somebody has Bithday it shows you the age. I have two problems:
1) If I look the month it doens't show when somebody has birthday, I have to check every single day, which I sometime forget on weekends. Is this changeble?
2) I have a german Xperia and the birthday are written like this: Birthday of sbd. If the name is long it's like this: Birthday of Jimmy Exempl... The name is too long and I can't see the person's age anymore. Tapping on the "appointment" won't help either. How could I see the age?
Thx
On mine I don't even see birthdays or anniversaries showing up on my calendars even though they are on the contact info. How do I make them show up with a reminder?

Sync it with Outlook, then they are shown like appointments. Don't know if that's a bug or a feature from WM, but it works this way.

Same problem here. I have lots os contacts with birthday but they dont show up in the calendar
I use spb shell as a panel, and I would like to see highlight of birthdays, although I even dont see any highlight in this panel calendar.
Is there a way to resolve this?
Thks in advance
i think that you should use today agenda as it has many featuers when it comes to displaying calendar entryes. The downside is that you can use it only in normal Today screen.

I synchronized all contacts and birthdays with Outlook 2007 and everything is shown in my calendar ( "Name Surname (Year)"). At midnight I get a notifcation "Birthday of Name Surname". That's okay, but I will see the birthdays in my "ToDo-List" / list of appointments one or two days BEFORE!
I don't need a notification ad midnight or 10:00 am "TODAY: Your wifes birthday!" That's too late
Any ideas how to get them in the list of appointments?
Use another software as calendar replacement, like Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion, or Agenda One, or Agendus Pro (probably there are other software that can do it). They can do it easily without any sync with a pc.
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 -
Is it just me or is it not possible to assign the Outlook categories to a new appointment in the HTC Calendar.
When trying to assign a category is comes up with 5 default categories (they don't exist in my Outlook Categories). But if I assign them from Outlook on the PC they are shown correctly.
And in the standard Windows Calendar it is possible to select from all categories, but a bit irritating that you have to go into the standard calendar just to assign a category to an appointment.
I agree with this too.
It's also missing a stop watch and timer app, basic programs I thought.
I know that neither default calendar nor Microsoft calendar can display a list of events in agenda for the whole year or more.
The questions is is it possible to hack this? or use another third party calendar?
Another feature I miss is that the dates where events are present are NOT marked in a "year view". Say, in default HTC calendar days which contain events could be RED, days without event default black. Would be nice?

It would be very nice indeed. Until that happens, try using Manila Today Page and putting Today Agenda as the plugin for it.
