I've set recurring calendar entries (Birthdays, etc) in my Calendar. Now with the new year, they are not showing up in this years calendar.... but if I go back to the original date and edit the entry, it definitely shows as a recurring event.
Consequently, I'm missing out on notifications of upcoming events, as they have not recurred over to the new year correctly.
How can I force the calendar entries to re-appear correctly, without having to manually re-enter all the entries again (which defeats the purpose of having a "recurring" setting)
I'm using the Stock 1.44 WWE ROM with Cookies v1 Home Tab to show multiple calendar entries on the homescreen. No other tweaks or registry changes have been made.
Just for future reference, You have no need to tag your topics with date/year, That is for posting ROM/Build releases not general questions/discussion.
Do you get same issue on different roms or just this one?
Thanx Atheist.... I thought was doing the right thing after reading the "Mandatory" thread !!!
Only ever used the official Roms so far... not sure I'm ready to take the step into cooked Roms, until at least the original 12mth warranty is up.
I've found the thread here regarding setting up Google synch, which i've just done. Seems to have solved all the issues I was having
Would be cool though, if you could multi-select appointments (like birthdays, for example) and change settings on them as a global thing (eg, if I want to set up a generic SMS reminder 1 Day and 1 Week prior to the event... it's TEDIOUS to open up every birthday entry to set them)

Ahh yes you are correct, my bad. tbh its a silly thing to ask espesially since newbies/n00bs have trouble posting in correct section or reading stickies etc. (btw, not calling you a n00b, just speaking in general).

Installing cooked roms (espesially wm) is very easy and you can also revert back to stock rom/spl etc and your warrenty is intact.
Only thing you need to worry about is flashing incorrect radio as that can brick your device, plenty of info and guides to read though, you should definatley have a good read, you can really bring your phone to life with cooked roms.

Well I havent used WM6.5 regulary for nearly a year now so cant really help on this.
Have a really good read though and try some roms, its really easy.
And once you are confident you should 100% get Android on there
Cheers Mate,
Took the plunge last nite and installed my first cooked Rom... Energy/NRG. F**k me it's pretty !!!!!
Still going thru learning how it all works and setting it all up to my specs. Having a few little issues with Active Synch for the calendar with the google/Gmail calendar I set up yesterday.
As described above, I managed to get the calendar synched up yesterday, with the stock Rom... but I am getting an "Invalid Security Certificate on Server" error on the NRG Rom, after following the same process of setting up the synch to google/gmail.
I know this isn't the right place probably to ask for help on THAT particular issue... but since it relates to my original question here, can anyone help on this please?
Error code is 0x80072F06
I've (FINALLY - TOOK FOREVER) managed to synch everything else with MS MyPhone... just need to synch the calendar with my google/gmail calendar.... but Active Synch (when phone is NOT connected physically by USB)... I can press the "Synch" button and A/S attempts to synch, then returns the above error.
If the phone is docked by USB and I attempt to synch, A/S just sits there and does nothing.
Pressing the "Menu" button reveals ONLY the "Status" option available to select.... all of the other options are greyed out and un-selectable.
I've just worked out what I did wrong..... instead of putting the Server as m.google.com, i accidentally put it as m.gmail.com ....... resulting in the certificate error message
OOPS !!!
Recurring Dates
Check HTC Support Downloads, you will see an update that fixes this very issue.
You will also see a 3.14 ROM, Oct2010 I think, that includes the update and some others in it.

hey out there.
following your postings about rom devs and flashing for further improvements some weeks i have a small but important question
since i got my blackstone 2 minutes ago and i want to go through SPL, roms and more very soon i dont know, if:
i should start using the phone, like it is (no branding).
put my 200 contacts from my old symbian phone into it by my self (is there any automatic "sync symbian contacts to WM6 contacs" tool?)
install active sync and create some backup/sync source now?
or is this useless, because i cant sync back to it, after i flashed rom/spl etc?
greetings
Good luck with the HD - I'm sure you will like it.
My suggestions:
1. Stick with the standard ROM for now and explore the features.
2. Sync your contacts to Outlook on the PC. I have often changed phone or ROM and always been able to sync the contacts, calendar, tasks, etc with no problem. I don't know about Symbian but you probably can export the contacts file from the old phone to a file that Outlook can read. Once you have the contacts in Outlook on a PC then you can sync when ever you need and after any future ROM change.
I'm still on the standard ROM but with lots of extra add-on apps and tweaks:

Sorry to hear that. I have never seen that on my phone.
Is your phone a sim-locked or fully sim-free phone or a new ROM ?
It sounds like to me that the phone does not have a full implementation for your country and maybe that it has a new ROM from someone other than HTC ?

Pay a visit to HTC website and download and install latest rom for your region if available.
I have not even connected my jade to my PC yet but activesync keeps popping up in the running progams list?
It's beginning to annoy me somewhat i am running the orange stock rom has this been a previous problem before for anyone?
Hi
Since the official rom upgrade I get same thing. Activesync is always on...
Maybe you have to check if you have some programs that auto update like, RSS feeds or the weather, or your mail accounts, etc.
Hack the registry. Open HKCU/ Software/ Microsoft/ Activsync/ KeepAlive/ change 1 to 0. You can not delete the key so you have to this every time after sync. I know, it's not very elegant but it works.
I tried the registry way, not works for me, still keep on coming out by itself, I have to add a server source in activesync and change the settings to manually, set all peak times off, leave it there, then no more issue.
Thanks for the replys guys/girls looks like i will have to flash a custom rom to get rid of this problem then, a bit nervous as have not flashed a T3G rom before,i have flashed loads of kaiser roms so cant be too much different i suppose, but still brand new handset always gonna bit a bit worrying

Just got my senior members wings with this post
the best way not keeping alive the ActiveSync is to create fake server connection if there is not a problem for your Operator.
Howto is given many times in this forum.
Just search it..
The G1 is the most unfriendly device for contacts.! With that being said, i rooted my phone a few weeks ago and have been having a great time...no problems to speak of.
Just found one. So I had this problem with my contacts where I installed Kigoo (client machine), and Touchdown (Exchange Client (Phone Side)) and I got triple entries of every contact. BLAH...
So today I deleted all of my contacts from my Gmail contacts and I then go into Contacts -> Menu -> Edit Sync Groups and uncheck "Sync all contacts". Now everytime I chose ok I'm getting the error message "The process android.process.acore has stopped..." What the heck?
N E 1 got N E ideas?
Sounds more like you mucked things up with third party apps.
i would agree with that but i mucked it up before upgrading to 1.5... when the G1 first debut i was looking for a good way to use my phone for work. and getting my contacts into Gmail seemlessly with a program seemed like a better idea than csv files, looking for automation. but then the endevour of finding an Exchange app screwed it all up - so yeah i guess your right in part. is this a bug in 1.5 cupcake and is it universal or is it specific to the JF 1.5? the reason i ask these questions is due to my jailbreaking my phone and loosing all Tmo support - whats a guy supposed to do?

Well so long as your contacts are backed up somewhere (pc, exchange server, etc) I'd try wiping then pulling in your contacts again.

Nice blanket statement that probably doesn't matter for 90% of G1 users who only use Google Contacts. Maybe next time consider adding in some qualifiers or caveats?

Apoligies. Didn't mean offense to any of the 90% of G1 users. Life, I have found, does't live in one app. My statment should be read with an air of frustration. The force close is an error that occurs everytime I try that process and needed to find a work around. Otherwise this post should act as a notificaton to all other G1 users that they also may expirence this error.
Side note -> I found my work around.
Hi Guys,
This is my first post as I usually never have any problems sorting my issues out due to this great forum.
I am using HTC Touch HD (Originally UK Orange now flashed with [ROM][WWE][22.08.2009] Miri WM 6.5 23017 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 7.1
My problem is discribed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471267
I sync my calendar and contacts with gmail and basically it is clear that when adding contacts to the favourites screen this causes an error. The error is the one described in the other thread.
"There has been a change on your server that requries you to re-synchronize all items on your device. You may lose changes since your last successful sync"
I have tried all the things suggested in the previous thread and have also tried using NuevaSync but again I still get the same error message.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a registry setting to disable the field that the favourites screen is using and syncing with?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Keep up the good work everyone!
since this is your first post, we'll cut you some slack. your best bet for finding a solution (if you haven't done so already) is to post your issue/concern/problem in Miri's ROM thread. he is very good about responding to users and reported issues. hope you get your issue resolved.
haha thanks for cutting me some slack. Last night I flashed with Duttys HD Leo R4 and this problem still occurs under exactly the same conditions.
So it would now be pointless to post in MIRI's rom thread as this isn't only happening on his ROM.
Any other suggestions or a point in the right direction would be good?
Cheers

is it pointless to ask? the ROMs have similar functionality, but come from different components. i'd still ask if could be fixed with a registry edit and/or if he knows why the problem occurs. the worst you'll get is a NO. your choice.
haha good point. I have done some more searching and know that when you add a contact to the favourites tab it creates a field in the contactdatabase called HTCFavorite. Obviously Google don't have this field which is what is causing the problem. The only solution would be to somehow stop activesync from syncing this field. Does anyone know if its possible to select which fields are sync'd during an activesync? Potentially a registry setting or xml file?
I had this problem and after some hunting around found it was most likely to be caused by an interaction between Active-sync and Pocket Outlook, I stopped syncing the Email with active-sync over two months ago and have not had it happen since (previously had it happen twice over three days)
Not a complete solution since you loose the Active-sync email, but stopped having to have a complete re-sync and lose the contacts/HTC Favorites connection all the time.
After messing about last night I created a group in my google contacts called HTC Favorite. I then assigned contacts one by one to this group in the order I want them to appear. After about 10 syncs these appear on my device and no server changes error to report as of yet. While this is not ideal it has certainly worked but I may remove the partnership until this issue is resolved if ever!
Thanks for all your help

I just picked up my new (T-mobile) HTC HD2, replacing my iPhone.
As nice as it is the HD2 seems far more complicated to use than the old iPhone.
I have 3 major issues I'm trying to fix and hope someone with more experience can advice me.
1-When making or recieving calls, I find it really hard to hear clearly. I'm not hard of hearing but the speaker seems way under powered. In a slightly noisey environment I have to switch to speaker to hear the caller !!
2-For some crazy reason I can only set 3 alarms, which is driving me mad. I have to keep my old iphone next to my bed to use it's alarms ( I work varied shift times )
3-After finally rearranging all my contacts to HDC happy ( no way of multiple, first name first changes ) I want to import all the birthdays into the calander. Is this possible ? In addition, I have linked many of my contacts to facebook, but the pictures randomly dissappear and I have to add them again. Can I save the complete address book so I can simply reload instead of having to update every picture when they dissappear next time ?
Any suggestions are warmly recieved.
there's an app out there that will add all the birthdays to the calendar. alternatively, if you sync your phone with Outlook on your PC it will add them to the calendar as well.
To answer your first problem, have you increased the call volumne to the maximum whilst on a call with someone? Just hit the volume rocker UP to do so.
And the second, WinMo only natively supports 3 alarms, but there are many programs out there that allow an unlimited ammount. Search the web for "Windows Mobile Alarm Programs" and you should find what you need. I would recommend bookmarking Http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com as well as http://www.freewarepocketpc.com. They have LOADS of useful programs for WinMo, and, as their names suggest, its all freeware stuff.
And three, like xnifex said, there are programs available on the net to sync birthdays and such, or you can use Outlook. Both will require you to manually enter the birthdays in the first time on your device, so you may just have to bite the bullet on this one and spend a half hour entering data. Good thing the keyboard is bigger than the iPhone eh?
Thanks for the advice.
1- Call volume. When I set the phone volume to max in the settings I assumed this ment call volume, however now I realize I have to use the volume control actually during a call to change the volume. Problem fixed
2- Only 3 alarms. Kinda solved. I have installed a great app G-Alarm. Nice simple and well programmed. However It's still sad that I have the alarm logo under the time (desktop) that is useless. Can this icon be linked to my new alarm clock app instead of the standard one ?
3- Calander linking to address book. Yet to download an app for this, but I'm sure it'll be easy to find.
Slowly getting the hang of WM 6.5, still many other teathing problems though.
Thanks again for your help

cookies home tab mod will alter your life, and allow you to remap the various home screen sections to whatever program you want. Dont forget to get the CHTEditor too.
As samsamuel says if you want to keep the phone stock you should go with CHT...otherwise find a custom rom that fill your needs...or an android build....
Great tip, thanks for that Sam. Starting to get my HD2 the way I want it.
ARRRRRRRRRRRR
After spending several hours manually changing the first name first (No automatic ordering option).
I finally got it to sync and backup all my contacts to gmail. I added a few new pics, using my PC, then after updating I synced again. Only to find the whole name ordering has gone back to what it was before.
Now, randomly I get first name first and randomly last name first. Do I seriously have to spend another few hours editing each contact only to find next time I sync it will **** it all up again for me ?
If your contacts are messed up I find easier to export as a CSV and then edit everthing in Excel. You can use this for adding mass changes and also to put in multiple calendar reminders. Then when done import it back into Outlook.

look for contact changer (its in the marketplace i think,) and make sure that your sync options are set to update in both directions.
I'm sure you're right Sam, but right now it's hours after painful hours of trying to get an out of the box product to work. I loved the apps you suggested, they certainly made it more flexible. Thanks for helping me sort alot of problems.
What I don't understand is why only some of the contacts have changed back to last name first. When I view the contacts they all show the correct first name and surname.
And 1 more thing. I managed to link my contacts birthdays into gmail calendar but it does not update my phones calendar when I sync.

Its probably something like both the first and last both being in the same field, both in the first name, perhaps.

You could try Manila Birthdays which will read your contacts birthdays, and allow you to enter them into your calendar. I have read of birthdays being an issue, but mine are already there through outlook, so i never had to solve it.
Thanks again Sam. Manila Birthdays, wicked app, love it.
I've also been playing with an app called mobiwee (http://www.mobiwee.com/), a great phone tracking and wireless file manager app
Worth a look if you're interested.
Cheers again Sam
