The default calendar gives us the possibility to set a reminder at some default times which most times I don't like. Is there a way to add more reminder time options?
Thank you!
If you mean other than the 5 minutes through to the 1 week options then the answer is no. You need to get another calendar app.
I installed Business Calendar, put the reminder 3 hours before, and again I got the pop up message 1 hour before. Is this impossible even with other calendars?

The tough question for the week:
Normally, on the start-page, the date/time and text for the next "upcoming appointment" is displayed. 1 appointment (if any entered in the Calendar) is potentially visible.
BUT if you have three meetings right after each other, you can get an unpleasant surprise from forgotten meetings suddently appearing with no time to prepare - unless, that is, if you take the effort to go into the calendar function and check the next couple of days. But thats not practical.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose to display the next 1, 2 or 3 appointments (just 1 line each) REGARDSLESS of how many days before they occur - without having to enter the Calendar and click though the days/weeks?
IS THAT POSSIBLE????

Hi Guys,
Love the work you've all been doing - I love tinkering with my HD2
One thing I've been looking for is some way to set appointments in the calendar to repeat every 3 weeks. I'm not much of an outlook user, so I'd rather avoid having to set it up and sync the appointments (as I'm guessing would be an easy solution) and I'd like to use the default calendar app if possible.
Anyone know if this is an easy fix?
Cheers
Ross
PS
I'm after a 3 week repeat as it'll allow me to schedule in my shift pattern!
hey mate, thats a tricky one.
in HTCs stock calendar, there are only 3 recurrence options (weekly, monthly and yearly). but if you chose to set your appointments using your PC, then sync your calendars... im pretty sure outlook will let you have more control. keeping in mind... successfully syncing a PPC with your PC using Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center can be a serious challenge.
alternatively, you can try a third party calendar app (maybe ThumbCal) and see if they will let you have greater customization. if you dont want to USE the third party app, you can install it - set up your appointments - then uninstall. hopefully this will have saved your appointments into outlook mobile (which is what powers HTCs calendar).
the third option is to simply set each appointment manually... this may seem like a bit of a monotonous task, but if youre setting 3 week intervals... you could probably set 2 years worth of reminders within 5-10 minutes.
good luck man.
cheers.
Hi, if you are still looking for a shift rota app you should take a look at MobileRota, free to try it out for a month, it works well for me.
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
http://www.appbrain.com/app/jp.co.johospace.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.

As my title says, I have 2 accounts (1 POP3, 1 IMAP - default) and I can only see my messages of the last 2 days. Now, I can't tell for sure as it was my 1st experience, but I remember that on first setup, I could see all my messages. However, I can't tell for sure. The thing is that I use IMAP and my archived emails a lot so I need to switch to a folder and see stored messages which may be too old.
Any help here?

Waoo, Am I that blind? I have been searching in those More..Settings for hours and couldn't see this option. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Now it's there but I restarted the device before hand.
Anyway. Thanks, the option is there and it works. I'll wear my 2" glasses next time.
sorry guys if this is a question thats been asked a million times but search bar didnt actually bring anything up
My email tile does not update..i have 2 set for different bt internet accounts and the live tile never seems to tell me when mail has arrived. Infact when i go in and check my mail i can see that there is new mail in there but it actually looks like its been viewed already (not highlighted etc)
Is there some settings etc that i need to change or is there a way around it?
also i dont seem to get any notification tone when i get any notifications, do i need to enable it and where?
sorry for the stupid questions but just got the device and moved across from android

Not that it matters, but what emails are you using? I have 4 emails and if I leave them as Live Tiles they will all update...especially after the initial setup.
First things I would do is....reboot the device...power off /on is good enough. Then check to see that you do have an update frequency set. While in mail, on the bottom right hand side of the screen, enter the menu, then settings, then account settings...make sure the frequency is set. Finally, for notification sounds, go into device settings. From the Home screen scroll right, then down to settings.....choose the sounds settings, scroll down. See if a sound is set for email. many times its set to none.
If this does not help, remove your email accounts, reboot and try again. I've never had my public emails fail in WP7. Corporate, yes sometimes....but never, Hotmail, gmail, yahoo.
thanks for the reply
the device is brand new (arrived today)
i have 2 personal email accounts set up both with bt internet.
i.e [email protected]
i have set the checks to be every 30mins on the accounts and have also set a notification tone now (thankyou) still however i never get any indication on the tile that there is mail.
The phone has the latest software as this was the first thing it did when i connected it to zune.
does it matter that i changed the name of the account? i.e how it is displayed on the tile? it first came up with 'btinternet 1' and btinternet 2 for the other....i just changed them to 'home' and 'darren'
i have also tried removing the battery and restarting the device several times but still same problem.
i wonder....do you think that the fact i have my iphone 4 receiving the mail also that this might have something to do with it? hmm..now i think about it i think it might....im going to try and stop the iphone from checking for mail and just leave my windows device doing it...see what happens then.
If you happen to check your email from any other device/PC/Mac other than the WP7 phone, then obviously you wont see any new mail notification. But if Windows Phone happens to sync before you read in other devices, then you will see it. Also see if your iPhone is set to mark as read when a message is pulled into it (not sure ..just a guess).
Does your DVP at least show all the new mails as read when you go into inbox?
Also try setting the sync to 'as items arrive' or 5 min and see if that makes a difference.

thanks for the reply
yes the dvp does show my mail in the inbox and does show it as read allthough i havent actually read it on the device.
also, under the sync settings the minimum poll time is 15mins (how often it will check the server) dont see an 'as items arrive option' like push email etc.
quite frustrating really as this is a really basic function....i can kinda understand it with the 3rd party applications and other live tiles but not the 'basics'

This seems to indicate that some other Mobile Phone/PC (Outlook ?) is also configured to read the mail and its set to mark as read when downloaded. Or check your mail settings on the server (btinternet account) if such a option is enabled by default.
