Hi all
I remember remember that in ROM 1.43 when I added a new contact and set birthday for it, automatically it was registered in calendar's related day as an appointment.
Also in contact it was registered as an event.
But in new ROM Despite I save my contact with their birthdays and anniversaries , no event is written in calendar!!!
what causes this problem and is there any solution for it?
Please guide me.
Thanks a lot
The problem is "Microsoft".

Thanks a lot my friend
I have rom 1.43 and I dont see anything in calendar..

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.
Hi,
Scenario:
I have added contacts through iContact and assigned birthdays to contacts. Then I have replaced my calendar with "Calendar Touch". It also shows birthdays automatically against dates.
What I want:
I want the birthdays to appear in the today screen just like appointments do. E.g. Lets assume today is 2nd Jan. Then Today screen shows appointments on 2nd. But, can it be made to show birthdays on 2nd Jan as well?
Pls lemme know if this is possible. TIA.
SK
It's possible using synchronising with outlook, it create a recurrent task for each birthday and you can modify the delay but you have to do it contact by contact to edit it, by default it ring at 00:00 the morning of the birthday. I'm looking for a standalone app that can be more configurable but haven't find it yet. Hope it helps.

Hi,
I have a HTC Magic 32A with MyHero 2.0.5 ROM. I have an issue regarding the contacts sync with Gmail. After the new ROM installation, all contacts were synchronized from my gmail account. If I add a new contact in Gmail, that contact appears in my phone, after synchronization.
The problem appears when I save a new contact in my phone. That contact does not appear in Gmail, and after some time (maybe a couple of hours or even days) that contact will disappear from the phone.
The same problem I had even with the stock ROM. Does anybody have the same issue? Do you know how this can be saved?
I must say that in Gmail I have a group named phone and only that group is synchronized with my phone.
Regards!
do you effectively select "Google" as contact type when creating a new one? anyways it's strange that it disppears from your phone... I'm now using Magic GyD but I've been using MyHero for a long time and never had this issue.
The only Contact-Types I can select are Phone or SIM. But I can select the groups I created in Gmail.
could be a problem with MyHero, I just found a post with the same issue in the ROM's thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5262674
You should actually be able to choose between "Google","SIM" or "PHONE" as contact type.
Yep... thanks for sharing that info. That's exactly the same. I will try to install a new ROM to see what happens. Thanks!
Greetings,
I have a problem which I heard around the places before but haven't found any solution.
So, we have a contact - then we add a birthday date for it, after all the calendar does not remind us about it in any possible way.
I must enter an event by myself.
Writing this after almost missing the birthday yersterday of a closed one.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
P.S. I know about "Manila Birthday for Leo", but still I want to have a full synchronized contact list with calendar, can I?
Any help guys?
try entering the contact into the microsoft contact app.
you need to sync your callendar with outlook, then you will see birthdays in your HD2 in callendar
Can that be done automatically? Or you need sync with Outlook every time to add birthdays into calendar? Because after synchronizing it I may add some new ones' and still they would not be displayed.
you need to have set B'days in your contacts in the field Birthday. if you do and then you sync Contacts and Callendar with Outlook, then Outlook will automatically assign B'days to your callendar. if you enter birthday to a contact after syncing, then you ofcourse need to sync again.
I synchronize my HD2 with Outlook once per week to be updated as much as possible.
also in case of losing your device you have all contacts and callendar in Outlook
Or if you don't use outlook, you can install "Manila Birthday", it detects all birthday entries in your contacts, and adds calendar entries for them.
You can even set it to repeat those entries every year.
Works very well here.
use a free app called birthday2calendar. it scans your contacts and syncs the birthdays with the calendar. works fine here so far and it's small and free!

Thanks for answers people, as far as I understood we can't sync it automatically like in Nokia phones. Too bad...
You can do it automatically only if you use full Outlook features. It's quite normal for Microsoft to promote its own products...
