Hey there..
I know I saw the info somewhere on the web a few weeks back, but now that I need it I can't find it anymore
I synced my outlook contacts/calender with the google ones and now I get birthday notifications at around 0:30 in the morning. Does anybody know how to change the time when to get the notification?
thx in advance
I synced my pda with Outlook on PC and the recurrence pattern of birthdays changed to a complete mess. They are correct on the PC but phuked in the cell

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...
Hi, i'm having a weird issues with birthdays reminders.
I have Outlook 2007, i set there all birthdays and sync with the HD. I've checked and the reminder is set in Outlook, the birthdays appear on HD on contact details, i just don't get a reminder(i don't mind 23:45 hour).
I've ended the partnership and created a new one, still the same.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
LE: I get the reminders on my desktop from Outlook
I have got the same problem! Someone got an idea?
Funny that on the HD, notifications for all day appointments are created as "calendar.exe /allday".
On most other devices, the " /allday" command line is absent...
Maybe this is the issue?
By the way, SKTools previously reposted such notifications as bad. Then I contacted SK, and he added this type of notifications as a valid type.
hey mates,
the outlook calendar syncs just from the pc to the device not the other way around....
what can i do? i need the dates from the phone on the pc....
I figured this out today
When you make a new appointment you'll notice tthere's a calendar selection at the top. Select Outlook and make an appointment.
After this it remembers as the default, and Outlook will receive the phone's calendar items
yes man youre right... i found this out today , too .. thx
This worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!
Just got my leo and loving it so far but got one annoying problem I have used contact changer to change all my contacts to first,last name but whenever an email arrives it resyncs the address book and changes most if not all of my contacts back to last,first which is rather annoying.
Do I have to sync up with outlook then change all my contacts on there to first,last and force a sync again.
Checked my gmail account and they are all first,last as before.
I had exactly the same problem but contact changer did the trick for me.

I wish I could say the same for mine! I wonder if I used an out of date one.. will try the one in the link you sent me to see if that works
if i use contact changer, it changes them to be correct, then as soon as it gets any contact from google - it resyncs them all back to be last name first name
its driving me MAD
incidentally and on a similar topic. its not pulling thru ANY e-mail for me on the google exchange sync, its just grabbed all the folders then given up. any ideas? (ive told it to get everything in the inbox - which is only 70 message regardless of size and regardless of dates) and its conected of my home wifi so its a pretty quick connection
Ok todays update, this is really starting to confuse me....
i exported all my contacts from google down into outlook.
with them all in outlook, i changed all the "file as" filed to be "first last"
then i stopped my phone syncing contcts with google, and told it tosynchronise withoutlook via usb.
it synced fine, all my contacts were as i wanted them.... then within seconds.. the phone had updated all the contacts to be "last name, first" then it promptly synced them all back to outlook!!!!!!
how on earth did it do that?!?!?!?
This issue is really irritating, by now I'm forcing myself to get used to the lastname,firtname format.
HTC Pls fix this!
one easy solution is to stop synchronizing your contacts with Google only synchronize mail....
it will work till some solution arrives .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has there been any fix for this issue as yet? I'm having the same problem since syncing my WM6.5 phone with Google (Contacts, Calendar and Mail)
Cheers

I was wondering of someone knows how to do this. I looked everywhere for the answer. I just today deleted all my contacts from gmail because it kept like 4 of each person on there. I want to sync again, i tried this morning to do it but it just wont. How do i manually sync with gmail so get the contacts back on there? Thanks
