looking for a birthday reminder applications

hi there. on my trinity, I was used to birthdays 1.2.10 (http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=798), which was perfect as a today plugin. problem is, today screen is not the same anymore on my diamond, and I'm wondering if someone can advice me a good application to replace birthdays ? thanks in advance

Hello,
The best I found is still using Birthdays 1.2.10 but... with SecondToday.
So you still have a Today screen and you can use some of your favorites plugins.
It's just a little less convenient but easily accessible with the task manager or a hardware key.
Regards,

There's one on your phone alrady - the calendar, I wouldn't bother installing another app to rob memory as I use the calendar and it works great.

Hello, I think, here is needed simple application, which will not reside on today screen (I use only TF3D):
1) runs for example once a day (may be morning)
2) find birthdays in all contacts
3) if birthday day is today, show reminder
Yes, I can set reminder for every birthdays, but it is not effective, because you have birthday specified in contacts and reminder for the same day

I don't understand why there is a "birthday" field in Contacts but no option for having a birthday reminder. Seems pointless.

Problem to start calendar from htc home (:MSPOUTLOOK calendar)

I have tried agendus pro to be the default PIM. It worked but I am not satisfied. I changed back.. and now I am not able to start the MS Outlook calendar. It is working from programs but not from the htc home.
I receive "The file :MSOUTLOOK calendar" cannot be opened .." Who can help me to get this up and running again?
Thanks Hans
HLKM is set 1 :MSPOUTLOOK calendar

I have the same problem on a Glofiish X800. Installed Agendus and the Calendar button at the bottom of the Desktop on my phone returns the same ":MSOUTLOOK calendar cannot be opened" error.

any fix to this??? I just had the same situation.. Loved agendus on my palm.. didnt work right on my Fuze Now I cant access the caledar from the home screen

detailed recurring appointments

Hi
Has anyone figured out any way to get more detailed recurring appointments? In previous htc phones/wm versions, I had the option to setup appointments every X days, or weeks, or Y days before end/start of the month etc.
In the current setup there are 4 or 5 basic options and thats it.

workaround
Btw. the workaround Im using is editing the appointments in outlook on my laptop and then synching, but would be nice to do from the hd2 itself.

If you close sense and go back to the windows default as you home screen, you get back the default calander app.

Use Start - Outlook - Calendar instead of the htc calendar, which opens the outlook calendar rather than the htc one, and gives you many more options in the new appointment screens.

fantastic, thanks guys!

Namedays / All day events

I imported the Hungarian namedays database into my calendar. It works great and I find it useful. As far as I can understand, the nameday entry is an all-day-event.
My only complaint is that now my appointments field on the home tab is quite cluttered. If I open up the calendar in Pocket Outlook, these all day events are hidden; something that I would like similar in the HTC calendar application and on the home tab.
Is there any way to filter / tell the HTC Calendar app to show/hide the namedays?

[Q] Setting the default htc calendar view

When I click on an appointment on the home page it launches HTC calendarin agenda view, is there anyway to have this either launch Outlook calendar or HTC calendar but in day view? HTC Calendar settings only gives options for reminders and default first day of week. I have looked around in the registry but have had no luck.

1. Diable calendar tab. This will make you jump directly to outlook calendar.
2. Or you can opt for a more advanced type of calendar app. Install ThumbCal.

I thought I had managed to do this once before, however when I just tried again (removed the calendar from the homescreen tabs) clicking on the calendar entry on the homepage now does nothing. I have done a soft reset but still the same. Any ideas?

Actually, the calendar link on the homepage is weird. It only works properly with the calendar tab. Once you remove the calendar tab, the link works only under certain strange conditions, described as follows:
1. If you have appointments for today, the link will not work. It can only show you one entry of today's appointments.
2. If you have NO appointments for today, and calendar link is a blank (i.e. showing on the "calendar" name on it), then the link will work to bring up outlook calendar.
So basically, it's inconsistent. That's why you have to forget about the calendar link of homepage. It's useless.
Here are some of the options you can do.
1. Place the outlook calendar on the of the quick links. (You'll have to swipe up on the homepage to access it.)
2. Use "Bsb Tweaks" app to change the left soft key of Sense UI to outlook calendar. (Originally, the "Phone" app sits on this soft key. But it works exactly the same way as the call key at the bottom of the phone. Making it redundant and useless.)
3. On your Start menu, bring the "Outlook" folder icon up to the top of the menu. That way, it will be easy to access outlook calendar anytime from under any running apps, by tapping the windows button, then outlook folder, then calendar.
