Hi,
I am running Windows Mobile 5 (on a HTC P3600).
On the calendar, is there a way of way of displaying "Active Appointements"
as there is with Outlook 2003 which I run on my Desktop PC and sync to?
If there isn't, does this feature exist in Windows Mobile 6?
I think this feature is a must have. Without it how do you have a snapshot
look at all your approaching appointments? It would take an age to keep scrolling the days.
If its in WM6 I will upgrade
Thanks
Also WM5 calendar doesnt look great with reminding, e.g. only 15, 30, 45mins etc.
What if I want to be reminded 7days in advance so I can buy a gift or send a card. Is this feature in WM6? Or do I have to buy another calendar program? And if so, whats the best one. Nice and simple but functional with not too many bells and whistle.
Thanks again!
You really need Pocket Breeze from SBSH, or SpB Diary.
Both are Today plug-ins that have tabs for the views you want.
I use TodayAgenda on my Trinity. It is a great calender program and you can customize it pretty much to any settings you want. It is also free, so that is nice.
Thanks guys.
For the 3 programs you hav mentioned, do all of them all me to set extended reminders for appointments, say a birthday. Or am I restricted to 15, 30, 45min etc.
Also, which one is the best?
Thanks
Also, if I already have reminders set up on my Outlook 2003 calendar on my desktop pc, say 7days before an appointment, will these settings carry over onto the new plugin program when I sync up? Or is that a step too far?
I would prefer a program that reads my desktop Outlook settings.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.
TBH, I don't know about whether Outlook reminders carry across. I would suppose no, because all the add-on programs still use the underlying Pocket Outlook engine/data.
Pocket Breeze and SpB Diary are both availble as trials, so it may be worth playing. PB is more configuarble, but Diary has a slightly better interface.
Both have a Special tab for recurring events like birthdays, and can be set to display any time in advance. I think they can be set to place the special event on the main diary tab at configurable intervals- 1 day, 3 days, 1 week etc, but I don't know about audible reminders.
Thanks Neil.
Am, I also right in thinking that the calendar in WM6 doesn't offer the reminder functionality that I need?

I've just looked in my Calendar and in fact it does do what you want- this is WM6, but I'd be surprised if WM5 wasn't the same
Open Calendar and go to the day you want to set the Event. Select the time, All Day, etc, then set 'Occurs' box to whatever is the appropriate interval.
Now tap Reminder, and set to Remind Me.
Once that is set, you can tap the left box below to set the integar, and the right box to set Minutes, Hours, Days or Weeks.
So, your example of a reminder 7 days before the event is easy. Hope this works in WM5

This feature exists even in WM5. See the second tab of the calendar settings.
Thanks guys. This reminder feature does work. I will check tonight whether the setting from Outlook 2003 come across in the sync (I'm guessing that they will).
Just a shame you cant see a list of all approaching appointments. That's a feature that I *do* want.
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.
Hello all,
Need a program which can send a sms by looking into the contacts which have birthdays stored in it.
Found some programs like vbirthday,birhdayz.. but of no use.
Birthdays v 1.2.10 is useless as touchflo has to be disable to view the notification.I want to do it without using outlook to sync with pc and all other stuff .
Just a plain software which searches for birthday at an scheduled time everyday, if found then send an sms wishing happy birthday automatically without user interference.
Any software available like this?May be like a plugin or a full time running application.
My phone specs: HTC touch P3452 with WM6.1.
Thanks in advance
You can check out the development and hacking thread on xda by googling.
try making a new thread there to request and your idea may become a reality.
Hi, have tried to search for this, but to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to extend the warning in manila of upcoming calendar events from 1 day as it stands to say 3 days? The standard windows homescreen shows events for the upcoming week but its only one day in manila. Anyone any idea?
I would like this as well, I have an appointment Wednesday but won't be able to see it on HOME TODAY screen till tomorrow, ideally I would like to see the next appointment.
Is there any way to display upcoming birthdays/anniversaries on home screen of HTC Sense 2.5 (US T-Mobile HD2) ?
I mean ... w/o generating them as appointments
i think there's no way,
because it's linked with the htc and outlook calendar.
nokia s60 (e66) calendar has the same problem because it's based on mso calendar to sync it.
you only can set it as "whole day" - "every year" appointment with a 2 day reminder ).
works good for me
and i can sync it to every mso compatible device.
(or you should think about a homescreen tweak and a other calendar)
ok i´m wrong

I ended up using ManilaBirthday too ... but did not like the idea .. I mean ... having to start separate application to check if somebody has birthday devalues whole idea of having birthday REMINDER on front page, so it does in fact REMINDS you
Manila Birthday also has that "generation of calendar entries" ... which is OK, but I'm not sure how does it work if I change birthday date. May be I just need to regenerate.
Oh well ... I guess that is my best choice ... I really miss SPB Mobile Shell with birthday reminders.
