Is it just me or is it not possible to assign the Outlook categories to a new appointment in the HTC Calendar.
When trying to assign a category is comes up with 5 default categories (they don't exist in my Outlook Categories). But if I assign them from Outlook on the PC they are shown correctly.
And in the standard Windows Calendar it is possible to select from all categories, but a bit irritating that you have to go into the standard calendar just to assign a category to an appointment.
I agree with this too.
It's also missing a stop watch and timer app, basic programs I thought.

Dear Diamonders,
Microsoft has a bug in the filtering of active tasks, right?
How have you managed to get it working? What is the third party software that just does the trick? I am not really interested in fancy PIM solutions that used color categories, etc. Just want the filter to work.
thanks in advance,
Tarmo
It works for me.
I'm synchronising with Outlook 2007, which does have colour names as default categories, but I have deleted those and created new categories for my contacts. The Diamond is allowing me to assign those new categories to tasks and filter them just fine.
I am also using Outlook 2007.
Are you saying that when opening tasks and selecting - menu - filter - all tasks/active tasks, you are getting only tasks from today and active tasks from the past. I am getting all tasks that have future date...
Or are you talking about contacts?
thanks,
Tarmo
Hi all
coming from WM I used to put all my calendar items in my exchange calendar on the PC - i would tick the private box for private, i.e. not work-related items. then I would get access to all those on my WM device.
Now I switched to Android and I have realised that Android could sync with various calendars, then it would consolidate all these items on the device in a single "calendar" app. Great. What I'd like to do is transfer all my private apps from exchange to my google calendar. I thought I could edit each item individually on the device and change the "calendar" type, i.e. exchange, google, outlook etc. But apparently I'm not able to change the calendar type while editing an existing item.
Is there a way of doing it without re-creating each private item in my google calendar and deleting them one by one in exchange?
thanks ;-)
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?
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.
Can anyone confirm this:
If i assign a category to an appointment in my work Outlook 2003 (backup up by a company exchange server which syncs it to my Galaxy), this appointment turns up on my Galaxy in a separate calendar named after the category. Since i use Android Agenda Widget, in which you have to designate the calendars shown in the widget, the appointment does not show in the widget.
Example: i assign "Project X" as a category to the appointment "Project Meeting", then the appointment "Project Meeting" appears in a separate calendar "Project X" on my Galaxy, with a different color and all.
If i remove the category, the appointment shows up in the calendar named after the Exchange Account i set up in "Accounts & Synchronization" (as it should).
I can confirm this. Happens to me as well.
