Is there anyway to enable the way when I typed in any Contact's Birthdate and it will automatically show in Calendar which i don't need to add it for the 2nd time in Calendar???
You don't have to add the birthday again manually.
It will automatically become an ALL DAY EVENT for that day itself.

Try to tap on the day of your friend's birthday and you should be able to see it as an ALL DAY EVENT.

If you are will to spend 15 EUR, go for Thumbcal, it automatically includes birthdays as events in your calendar. If you don't wanna spend that sum, search for a tool named Darkanniv on Modaco or Google.

I requested something similar as well. I would also like my phone to have an actual notification sound on bdays. I will try that CT bday exe
update: ct birfday doesnt install on wm6.5 i guess. Installation of cab always unsuccessful. maybe i should reboot both my systems.
is there any way to show up the contact's birthdate without adding any 3rd party app? i know there is a way which mentioned in the previous post, which is through outlook sync, but i don't use outlook as well, any help?
Well there's a pretty easy way to do it but you need to do just a little bit more work. I do this and it's pretty easy. All you need to do is go to the exact birthdate of your contact so say James was born on 15th March 1985, So i would go to 15th March 1985 and set up his birthday there as a recurring all day event with Alarm. Now not only will your phone alert you of the birthday every year but it will also tell you how many years old he is that year with the age in brackets... Third party software like thumbcal really makes things easy but it's not necessary once you're used to doing this...

Sync with Outlook
Outlook looks at contact birthdays and automatically puts them in your calendar. When you sync, they'll be there on your device calendar as well

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.
I have just noticed this and a bit annoyed
I am setting up family/friends birthdays on my HTC HD 2 and ive noticed an error
HTC Calendar
Birthday say 18th December 2010
Repeat every 18th December
For somereaosn it won't show anything against this date in the month/week view.
To get it to work you have to go into the windows calendar under start etcand put it in there and then you can see it in the htc calendar
VERY STRANGE, CAN SOMEONE TRY IT FOR ME
Edit/Delete Message
same issue.
I set it up with the correct details, but didnt add the repeat.
It added it to htc calendar. then go and edit, adding the repeat, and it stays there.
Yeah tried that and it works but you shouldn't have to do this.

It was impossible for me to set and quarterly appointment. Any suggestions?
noticed the same, and found somewhat of a fix.
Set the appointment for the day you want it without repeat. then edit it and turn repeat on with the frequency that you wish. it should work.
Also, if you tried to put a repeating appointment and nothing appearead, check 1st of janyary 2011, with my phone i had all the failed attempts magically moved there.
I had a similar problem.
Tried to save a friend's birthday on December 15th. So it was an all-day event, recurring every 15th of Dec., status free. Result? I couldn't see it... I gave it up to 5-6 tries, as far as I remmbered.
However, I've later realised that all of the 6 or whatever shots were saved... on January 15th!
I've notified HTC about this. They said they'll look into it!
In my opinion, it's worth you'll let them know as well

Another person with the same problem - a really annoying bug. As Rhyn0 said all the appointments have been created on the right date, just in January 2011.
This is with the 1.66 ROM - where do i send a bug report? - EDIT: emailed them about it.
same here, appointments are there (myphone and standard calendar recognize them) but htc calendar is not showing anything on that particular day.
if you add a birthday to a contact, that shows up where it should.

I'm sorry, what do you mean? most of my contacts have birthdays and I use b2c (birthday2calendar) to add them as appointments, which works fine, except that now I don't see them in my htc calendar (neither do I see manually added appointments). But they are there, so it must be a bug in htc calendar.
I have a tattoo original with no update.
I have the big problem that if I set a birthday for a person it reminds me a month before and no more.
I'm interested that it advice me the day of the birthday but there's no way, please help me.
Thanks in Advance

I have this problem too - id much prefer a reminder a few days before and the actual day? Maybe its something to do with using outlook instead of google for calendar
If anyone has got around this please advise. It maybe worth looking in the Hero forum as they have the same calendar app on the hero.

Can't be because of Outlook, I entered all birthday's manually and it reminds me a month before. Tried reentering all of them, no luck.
I installed ebobirthday that syncronyze itself with the calendar, I have to test it well but seems fine.
Hi just wondering if anyone can suggest to me any good calendar application?? Well here in Australia, most people get paid in every fortnight (every 2 weeks), and sometime even rosters are scheduled that way. I need something that can remind you every two weeks. I think the default calendar doesnt have that?? I think it has every third week?? every month?? Also is there anything that will sync with non google?? maybe like outlook??

im using ''pure calendar'' very happy with it
http://de.androlib.com/android.application.org-koxx-pure_calendar-qmwt.aspx
My vote is for Executive Assistant, it has a tabbed windows with calendar alongside missed calls, mails, SMS's and RSS's.
Can all the above do a reminding in "every 2 weeks"?? (eg. Every second Thursday??)
i prefer to use jorte
http://www.appbrain.com/app/jp.co.johospace.jorte
and yes, you can add reminders but max of 1 week
Suggest you have a look at Gemini Calendar - http://gemini-mobile.com/
I believe it has the feature(s) you're seeking.
Google calendar from your browser
How about setting up your repetitive dates from the computer? Google calendar will allow you to set up repetitions as you need them and the customisation of the events is better still than any app that I have seen. I use Pure Grid Calendar and that is still basing itself off of the phones default calendar. I have hockey training on a weekly basis but need to change the times on occasions and I find it eas.ier to do it from the computer as I will still need to check times online

Totally agree... the goggle calender on the PC is still the most versatile and you can set appointments or reminders to be weekly, fortnightly, 3 weekly or whatever you like.
+1 for Google Calendar.
It took me a while to work out how to do it, but basically you would set up a new event on the day you get paid, then choose "Repeats: Daily", then "Repeat every: 14 days". Simples!
The app I like to view/amend my Google calendar is Calendar Pad Pro. Awesome looking widgets for day, week or month which allow you to see what your appointments are. Can also set the start of the week as a Sunday (which is important for me). Even the free Calendar Pad had all the functionality I needed, but I upgraded to Pro because I wanted to support the dev.

Is there a reg edit that ads a fortnightly repeat choice to the pull down menu in the HTC Calender? I had the option on the standard Diamond calendar but not on the HD2.
Work around - Fortnightly remiders/appointments
I've found the following Registry entries, but not sure if I'm on the right track, and don't know what to change it to anyway, but thought it might help someone with better knowledge than me ...
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manilla
AppointmentsEvent (13887035)
Calendar_Reminder (10)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Settings\Shortcuts\Default
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Cappointments

I have also found a work-around as I'm not using outlook on my PC so can't do it that way ...
in the TASK MANAGER you can set fortnightly tasks!

If you scroll to the bottom of the calendar entry on the phone you will see a drop down box for event repetition.

Not sure if this was covered but the Focus has a bug in the calendar. If I want to make a recurring event I can't make it every other week. I hope they fix this in the next version. It's quite annoying.
I don't know if you sync your calendar with Live, but there are a lot more options when you create the calendar entry in Live and sync it to the phone. I use that for my more custom entries.
For example, WP7 only allows some basic Calendar reminder times. In Live, there are many more options and when you choose one, the Custom option shows up in WP7 even though you can't access it directly from WP7.
I did correct the "problem" in Live. It's just annoying trying to do it online while on the phone and a regular PC isn't available.
That is the way it is when the product is released to the public before it is actually ready.

This is Microsoft, so it is not a bug. It is a feature that keeps you safe from those pesky bi-weekly appointments. They are outdated and nobody should have any need for them anymore.
Get with the program, will you?

I realized that I should have put "missing feature" instead of "bug." Unfortunately for me, though, those darn bi-weekly appointments keep coming back to haunt me. Just when I thought it was safe....
Same boat here... I have had to enter those on my GMail calendar instead.
