Hi everyone. I have a Desire HD with stock ROM. I use android calendar and sync it with outlook 2007. All works fine. I have a loto of recurring appointments but :
- if I delete only one entry of the recurring appointment in outlook, I see it in android calendar again after the deletion
- if I manually try to delete it in the android calendar , the only option I have is "delete all entries".
How can I solve it? I noticed, around google, that I should have the option "this entry and future" too when I try to delete a repeating appointment.
Thanks to all

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 all,
playing with the Hero. I am syncing my google calendar with my Hero and anything I add to the google calendar gets sync'd down to the Hero, but if I delete something on there Hero it doesn't seem to delete it on google calendar or if I add a new date on the hero, it doesn't seem to put it in google calendar.
Any tips?
Thanks all.
worked one bit out. I need to make sure when I add the appt, it is added to the correct calendar, not the local Hero one. Now to sort the deletion bit
I can now add dates on the hero and they appear on google calendar.
Sorted it out, I think

How did you solve the problem?? I have the same problem, if I create a calender event in the Hero it get synced correctly to the google web calender, but if I delete it in the Hero it will not get deleted in the google web calender.
Note that if I instead delete it in the web calender if works so the problem is only when you delete an event in the Hero.
Thanks for pointing this out... I never noticed that you need to select the correct calendar or nothing gets synced to Google and thus back down to my Mac.
Anyone know how to make a particular calendar the default or if you can delete 'My Calendar' and the 'Outlook Calendar' ? Neither of which I would use.
cheers

The mobile remembers the last calender you selected so once you added an event to the google calender it will be the default calender.
Ah, thanks.
Just recived a mail from HTC Supoort that they can confirm that this is a bug in the HTC Hero calender, so I guess the solution is either to try to remove the Hero calender an installa the standard one or to wait for an update from HTC :-(
hmmm... doesn't seem to sync deleted events at all to Google. Better ensure that any deleted events are done online or on the Mac/PC Google synced calendar.
Did they say when it will be fixed ?
you can also hide the outlook and my calendar
in calendar, press menu and then calendars
here you can untick the my calendar and outlook.
and JesperDS is correct, it should remember the last one you selected when you created an item and automaticlly default to that one the next time you create one.
It does indeed remember the last calendar used
Hi,
I have just noticed that despite having events in my Google calendar which go back many months/years (e.g Annual Leave or Shifts worked), my Hero doesnt seem to sync anything prior to Mid July 2009 in its calendar.
All that appears prior to mid July is peoples birthdays.
Anyone got any ideas how I can set it to synce EVERY event/item in my Google calendar going back several years??
Cheers

Google calendar sync stopped
It started with Wi-Fi and now the same error message comes with gprs too.
The message is: "Calendar Storage has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
This comes after 15 sec use.
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.
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...
I set the synchronization between my Galaxy S Calendar and my Google Calendar account, but I found that events older than 1 months are not present in my device calendar; all the entries are correctly present on Google calendar account. The synchronization is fully working for present and future event. I installed also Jorte and Business Calendar (perfectly working...!)
Is there any function that automatically deletes old calendar events? How can I disable it? How can I sync old events?
Thank you

Set the phone date to earlier than the oldest missing calendar entry and then re-sync. If the oldest entry missing is prior to 2000 (froyo) then you have to do the Google import game in the calendar.
