I hope someone can answer this for me.
How do you put an anniversary in your calendar without putting a start date? Is it possible?
I have an anniversary which shows up with a line through the little arrows which stand for a recurring item.
This item doesn't show a year (number in brackets) after it on my PDA.
I have no idea how I have done this, but would want to replicate it because this would be useful for some anniversary's where I don't know the start year.
I'd like to know if is posible..
i have been trying that too.
If you insert the birthday or anniversary date in the Contacts' details, then it will show up in the calendar with the number in brackets.
Check this, but I think you have to sync the PDA with Outlook on the PC for it to do this, as I don't think the anniversaries or birthdays show up if you just alter the Contact details on the PDA - but try it.
What about for having St Patrick's day showing on your PPC. There is no start year, it is the same day every year so I don't want to have to manually put it in every year!
Any ideas for that?
Just put it in as a recuring item! There is no need to have a start year or even a year count in brackets for this type of reminder
BTW, forget St Pats day and don't forget to add April 23rd

Sorry I don't get this. If I put it in as a recurring item on an anual basis, as an all day event, then next year it automatically has a 1 in brackets after it. I don't see a way of putting it as a recurring item and not getting the year count! If it is weekly or monthly then it doesn't have it, but yearly does?
Please explain further if I am being a bit daft!
Should I put it as a timed entry?
For holidays for a specific country, in Outlook at the desktop go to options calendar options - add holidays, and choose your country. Then sync your PDA and you'll have national holidays.
For anniversary, use the contacts. That way you'll have them on calendar every year. Even if you don't know the year make a guess.
Dear Friends,
I have HTC touch (Elf). I have been having one big problem regarding calender reminder.
I have 77 birthday reminders, and 60 appointment for a week in my calender.
When I first sync with the my outlook on my pc for first time all my appointments reminder works, but after one day all the appointment reminders are coming.
I have checked notifications in MEMMAID it shows all my birthday reminders but not appointment one. deleted all duplicate (if any) entry , rebuilded the notifications as well. But still none of my appointments are coming undernotifications.
I tried hard reset so many time still first day it works from next day it don't.
I checked may our forum as well. It suggest to use alarm today software but it still doesn't work for me. I have tried other forums as well but no much luck.
All my business is base on these appointments, I have tried so much to solve this but not much luck.
I would give all information you ask or all stats you want.
Would you please help me out for this. Is it only me or its microsofts problem.
Please Help mates.
Many Many thanks.
Hey i was wondering if theres an app or a way to automatically schedule my school schedule into the calendar from now until june. i dont want to add my classes day by day just wanted to see if i can set the calendar for say organic chemistry every tuesday from 1-230 pm from now until may 15
AGREED!!! The recurrence in the HTC calendar program sucks!
Couldnt you do this in outlook and then sync your phone? I always do it this way and it seems to save time. Not sure if that helped you or not...

This can be done easily in your phone's calendar: create the appointment on the first date and time, in "occurs" go to "edit pattern", then you can adjust the periode (in your case weekly), start and end date. That´s all.
thanks! exactly what i was looking for
Is there a better calendar app than the stock one? And I don't mean just a widget like Pure Calendar, I mean an end-to-end solution like Hancent and Chompsms are to the messaging client.
In particular, on my old Palm and Nokia devices, I had calendar clients that allowed me to do something that I wanted to yesterday - make an event that reoccurs on the same day every other week.
The applications I had actually allowed further customisation where you could set a reoccuring event to occur with a user defined number of day/weeks/years between the even reoccuring again.
Are there any apps that give this level of control?

Here's what I do............ google calender is extremely customisable. When you are creating the event, look for the Repeats link; change that to Weekly, then - in the new info which appears, 2. I do this on the website calender, not in the phone.
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

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.

or click week, and "Repeats every 2 weeks"
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
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Calendar
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.
