This is a strange thing...
Here is my scenario:
I use ActiveSync to sync over my contacts, calendar and mail (from Outlook 2003). On each contact you have a field called "Birthday" where I enter the persons birthday. When doing this, a reminder is automatically created in the calendar.
The strange thing is that all birthdays are one day wrong on the contact in the PDA after a sync. The calendar reminder is correct.
I have found some old articles that this might be an ActiveSync bug, but no solution are presented. There must be some fix for this!?!?!
Has anyone else got the same problem? Please, help me!!!

Similar Problem
I think I have a similar problem to yours with birthdays...
All birthdays appears over 2 days both on my PC and on PPC...
I have 2 hypothesis for the problem:
-it's Active Synch and PPC's fault
-it's the PC calendar fault. I have been moving up and down between UK and Italy in the last 2 years, and there is a 1 hour difference between the 2. Now, Birthdays are recorded as "all day events" so when my time zone changes what was going between 0 to 12 goes between 1 to 1 or something like that, so I annoyingly get the birthday over 2 days...
Any solution or quick fix anyone???
THANKS!!! :roll:
I have the same problem as the original poster.
Device: Cingular 8525
OS: Windows Mobile 5.0
I've had the phone about 3 weeks and before whenever I entered someone's birthday under their contact info the birthday was automatically on my calendar. Now, for some reason it's not doing that if I had any new birthdays.
Any idea why it stopped putting the bdays on my calendar??
anyone?!?!?!?
I have the same problem. In fact, my contact birthdays have never translated over to my calendar. It works for my friend who has the same phone, although he imported his contacts from Outlook using ActiveSync. Anyone?
The default behaviour is that the birthdays are put into the calendar when you syncronize with outlook.
Or in detail: outlook puts your contacts birthdays into the calender which are then synced with your device. So new birthdays don't automatically show up if you didn't sync.
Thanks TcT. You have confirmed my suspicions. Once I synced my Calendar and Contacts with Outlook, my phone calendar populated with contact birthdays. Thanks.
I am using pocket breeze for my birtday list. It really goes well along w/ the compact calendat on today's screen. Believe me, this software is really great!
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.
First off:
I own an HD2 with original HTC StockROM 3,14.
additionally I have installe Manila Birthday.
The device is synced with 2 PCs.
1) the birthdays from the (Outlook-)contacts are transferred automatically to the calender as "complete day" appointments.
2) with Manila Birthday you can also transfer the birthdays into the calender
Problem:
At first I have removed all of the original entries from the calender (see #1)Then I got all birthdays transferred by Manila Birthday.
But, whatever I do -- after a few sync cycles the originial entries reappear. This means I have now 2 entries for each birthday in the calender.
=> it's a nuisance, but not critical.
The difficulties start on travels. I am regularly on business trips to UK (1 h time shift). Now all the 1 day Birthday entries become 2 day events. (grrrr...).
When I return from the travel, this does not swith back (still two day events) (grrr no. 2.) But really irritating is, that also the data in the contact become manipulated. Meaning: all birthdays are either a day earlier or later. But NEVER correct. If you call then the jubilee - well you are always on the wrong day (and you look really stupid...).
Question:
1) is it possible (with ManilaBirthday or the HTC calender or the contacts) to set it up in that way, that the original entries to the calender are no longer made?
2) How can I manage that the Birthdays in the contacts are not manipulated during travels?
3) since I didn't find anything about this points... am I really the only one who experienced this problem????

I've noticed this as well. I'm using EnergyROM and everytime I update and then sync with outlook, I get 2 entries for each birthday. If I don't delete them from outlook before a new sync, they can start to build up. No idea how to stop this though apart from only sync either your contacts or calendar.
known issue with outlook happens on other platforms as well
I've got another situation, but it adds up to the same problem.
1. Original registration of birthdays is done in Outlook.
2. Synced in WinMo using activesync.
3. Synced WinMo with g-mail account.
4. Booted into Android, synced agenda and contacts with g-mail.
5. Changed Android build and synced that with g-mail.
By now every birthday is shown twice, some are quadrupled.
Don't really know how to solve this.
Maybe I am missing something here, but I look at my Cal and none of my all day events in any of my Cals are showing.
Stock or alternative app? In calendar or widget?
No problems here. My calendar contact's birthdays are showing up just fine and they are all day events.
stock cal. looking in the week, day and month views dont show the all day events.

Added on the Xoom, added on Google on line?
Sync on in Accounts & Sync settings for your gMail account?
This was user error. Somehow I got put 6 months ahead and didn't have any all day events scheduled.
