Anybody got a solution to fixing the MS Calendar?
When i make appointments, lets say i sync'd the appointments to GMT+9, then next week i go to GMT+10, all my appointments are shifted 1hr forward.
Any fixes that will prevent that from happening? i just want to schedule my appointment Via 1 timeline regardless of timezone.

Hi
When i have appointments in my calender, i get a notice on my today screen with my first upcoming appointment. But now i've got no upcoming appointments these next days, i get a message of a appointment next friday! A little early for a reminder i think! Is it possible to set a maximum number of daus in advance a message is shown? thx
same thing happens here. i havent found an option to change it as of yet. getting a reminder 7 days ahead of time is kinda pointless.
Take a look at PocketBreeze.
You can configure it to see just about any amount of various PIM events (Appointments, Meetings, Tasks, Birthdays & Anniversaries, Contacts, etc.) on the Today screen.
Plus it allows you to add custom tabs and see any other Today screen plugins on a tab within PocketBreeze.
(And, yes - I'm biased. I moderate there! )
So, let's say i use the phone for a a few days, make myself a bunch of reminders and calendar appointments. They all get dismissed, or sometimes postponed then i'll dismiss them.
When i sync the phone through activesync, outlook will pop up all the reminders that are new since the last sync! Is this just shoddy programing? Wouldn't it be simple enough to flag the dismissed reminder to sync to outlooks calendar in the dismissed state? But instead, it acts like it's new and overdue.
Now i heard there's a way to turn off reminders in outlook, but i need those as well. Is there a way to fix this?
nope. i have a wizard and that was happening to me. it was pissing me the hell off. i would close it and it would come back and i think they were multipying. i think what i did wrong was i had yahoo! go syncing my calender, then i had goosync syncing my calender in google, then i had activesync syncing my calender on my computer in outlook. so with all the syncing i think everything got duplicated a bunch of times. so what i did was write down all my dates and then i erased EVERYthing on the calender. then i added back the holidays and all my events that i wrote down. i disabled syncing from goosync and yahoo and it never happened again.
i know what your going through though. i wanted to break my computer during that ordeal. lol

It may be that you chose to synchronise not all of the Calendar items. And you chose for example not to synchronise, but move items in only one direction.
Check ActiveSync options for Calendar (main window, settings...).
It may give you a clue.
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 folks,
I've spent the last 8 hours organising all of my contacts getting their email addresses, phone numbers and birthdays all up-to-date on my Google Apps 'Contacts', and synced via Exchange to my mobile. Lovely jubbly. However, their birthdays never got transferred into my phone's calendar (which kind of defeated the point of me adding them all to the contacts!). So I downloaded and ran 'B2C' (Birthday to Calendar) which worked beautifully.
Only there's one issue - the reminder time that's been set for all of these recurring all-day events is 2 hours, which would mean that I'd only be reminded about each persons' birthday at 10pm the night before (which, to be honest, isn't ideal when a card and present are in order!).
So I was wondering if there was any way of changing the reminder time of each and every recurring all-day event in my calendar (since the birthdays are the only recurring all-day events I have in there) to 3.5 days instead of 2 hours? Can I run a batch script or something to do the job?
Trying to avoid having to use Outlook if I can, since I'm on a Mac and it'll be a pain in the arse trying to get all of that set up and working properly on my VM.
Cheers!
I'm using Android WITHOUT a data plan on my Verizon xv6900 smartphone. The one annoying problem I have is the lack of a good calendar function. Since I'm not using data, I can't sync with Google calendar etc.
I have tried probably 15-20 different calendar apps and they all have one annoying trait in common: I can't schedule repeat appointments on the days of the week, ex. on every 2nd Tuesday. Almost all allow you to repeat appointments on the numerical day (ex. the 8th of every month), but not on the day of the week.
Does anyone know of a good calendar app that can schedule repeat appointments on the day of the week, not on the number?
