When I set up a calendar event (1 time) in Outlook, and use HTC Sync, it moves perfectly to my Incredible. However, when I set up a 1 time calendar event on the Incredible, HTC Sync doesn't to move it over. After a sync it is not present in outlook but is still present on the phone. Any ideas?
Yeah when you add an appointment you have to choose which calendar to put it on. You're picking phone

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've just tested the synchronization of Contacts and Calendar with the Hero, and I can't seem to get it to synchronize appointments made on the phone to Outlook on my PC. I have the latest version of HTC Sync (2.0.4) installed. I haven't changed any of the default settings.
Anyone else have the same problem? Please test it.
Thank you.
when you create new events in the phone calendar, you need to attend to the top-most drop-down, which is to which calendar the new event should be added. The choices are "My Calendar", "Outlook", and then your Google Calendars listed.
If you get this wrong, the sync won't work as expected. The default is the first in the list "My Calendar", and I took ages wondering why it wouldn't sync to my Google Calendar, which was the third in the list.
Then I read about this in another thread, set my google cal when creating a new event, and it did sync.
tedious though.
I can second this.
Just change the Calendar to Outlook and it will sync as expected.
Caught me out also!
Thank you sooooo much!
and if you go into "calendars" you can permanently de-select the ones you don't use - all but Google in my case, perhaps all but Outlook in yours - and then it should be fine. And I think the new event calendar selector remembers your last choice anyway.
Just thought I'd share my experience on this. Before I got my DZ, I was used to sync'ing my Outlook calendar (Outlook 2007) with my WinMo phone (TP2).
With the DZ, I thought I would use HTC's own HTC Sync software. This can sync various items to the phone from a PC, e.g. calendar, bookmarks, files, contacts, etc. You can download it from HTC's website - http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
However, I found it didn't handle repeating appointments properly at all, something I've raised with HTC (but had no response yet). If I change one instance of a repeat appointment (e.g. different time, or deleted it), it just didn't seem to pick it up, and didn't sync the change to my phone.
I then thought I would try out Google Calendar Sync - http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
Google Calendar Sync works much, much better. I sync'd my Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar initially, then removed my "PC Sync" calendar from my phone, and sync'd my Google Calendar with my phone. It is working fine so far, it picks up things like changes in single instances of repeat appointments.
I'm still using HTC Sync for sync'ing bookmarks and photos, but not my calendar any more.

Coming from the exact same old phone and doing the exact same process, I wound up doing the exact same thing!
Problem is google calendar sync doesn't work with Outlook 64 bit.
I am using a product called CompanionLink - but it's only a 15 day trial

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.
When I add an event using Touch Calendar on my phone (HTC Desire Z) it is listed in a green font, and does not get replicated to my Google Calendar. If I enter an event in my Google Calendar on the web it DOES get replicated to my phone however.
I have Touch Calendar configured to show all calendars. One of the listed calendars is "PC Sync", which is where I believe all events are being entered by default.
Even if I choose not to display the PC Sync calendar it seems to put new events into it.
Can anyone advise on how I can my events going to the my Google Calendar instead?
