Hi there,
Does anyone know how to filter the tasks to only show active tasks that have a start date at or before the current date. My PDA and outlook only show these, but the tasks program on the HTC touch pro shows all active tasks, even if the start date is a couple of months away.
Any ideas?
I'm not sure if this could be a solution for you, but PocketInformant is able to do that.
I've searched here and there, far and wide until the search button wore off my screen.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro running WM6.1 and Touchflo 3D.
I'm looking for an application that will scan my contacts for birthday's and anniversaries and export them to my calendar on the correct date for the current and/or upcoming year(s).
I've found several apps that are standalone or Today plug-ins, but I don't want the additional overhead of running unnecessary applications taking up memory.
Anyone know or have such an app?
I am wondering if you have explored the contacts page on your WM 6.1 .
If you would, you should see that you are able to set birthday's and anniversaries. So WM 6.1 will update the calender.exe to show that it's a recurring event.
And if you synch with the desktop, it should show on your outlook too.
At least, this is happening for me.
Thanks for your input. I'm aware that if I sync my phone through activesync with Outlook that it will put my birthdays and anniversaries in the calendar in Outlook and on my phone, but I don't own a copy of Outlook and have no desire. I rarely connect my phone to any PC except for the occasional file transfer or software install.
thnks
ill be using that

I've been looking for the same thing too
Hi,
I have a problem with my touch pro with every ROM I have testet yet (didn't test a wm 6.5 ROM) and a co-worker has the same problem with his samsung omnia i900:
When I create a appointment on the pda with yearly occurance and sync with the pc (testet with xp and vista64 with office 2007) it occurs every 12 years on the pc. It seems someone mixed up months with years..
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix?
Greetings

Update
Sorry to bother you all, but I still have no solution.
As an Update: The same happens with a 6.5 Rom (latest Energy 3.0). A Friend with a Touch Hd seems not to have this problem (he is running Duttys V3.4 XT System 21048). The newest 6.1 ROM I could find for the touch pro was 21046 which had the same Problem.
Could anybody please check this with his phone, please?
Greetings

It's not WM 6.1 but Office 2007 Servicepack2
Seems I'm only talking to myself.. Another update:
Today I did a lot of tests: I installed a fresh outlook 2007 German in a virtual machine: syncing works. Installed SP1(for office): syncing works. Installed SP2(for office): New yearly appointments created on the phone occur only every 12 years on the PC... (Before SP2 there isn't even the option to make a appointment every x years..)
So Service Pack 2 for Office is the fault.... (I should get paid for this...)
Could anybody try this with SP2 (it can be uninstalled (seperate download))?
Greetings

Wow good find, yes I can confirm that occurence in Outlook Professional 2007 SP2 says 12 years.
Steps to reproduce.
1) On my HTC Touch Pro, create New Appointment;
Subject: Dummy
Location: Nowhere
Occurs: Every 4 June (for today's date)
2) Press Ok, and then Sync with Active Sync and Outlook SP2.
3) Go to Calendar in Outlook, double-click on the Dummy Appointment (select Series not single occurence and it shows Occurs every 12 years on June 4 effective 04/06/2009 from 12:00 to 13:00.
Confirmed!
a) My HTC Touch Pro is using Latest Stock ROM from HTC - WM 6.1 Pro.
b) PC O/s is Windows XP 64 bit and latest patches.
I think your assumption is right, it's an issue with Office 2007 and Active Sync. Not sure whether this was introduced in SP2 though!
Same problem here.
I sync my Touch HD on two computers:
Home - Vista 32/ WMDC 6.1/ Outlook 2007 SP2
Work - Win 2003 server/ ActiveSync 4.5/ Outlook 2007 SP1
Touch HD - Duttys 3.7XT (win 6.1 - build 21051) with Manila 2.1
Whenever I sync calendar on either machine alternately all yearly appointments (birthdays) occurs every 12 years.
It is only when I sync with "the other" computer it happens.
ie.
- I sync home computer
- I fix the appointments
- I later re-sync home computer
and all is ok.
if I then later sync to work computer, we're back to 12 years again.
This is also vice-versa, so if I fix the appointments on my work computer, I can sync that computer however many times I want. When I then later sync at home, 12 years...
I suspected an issue with WMDC 6.1, so I downgraded it to WMDC 6.0. But it didn't help...
I upgraded work computer's Outlook 2007 from SP1 to SP2 hoping that would help, but no.
I'm not sure when this error first occured. So I can't be sure whether the problem is with WMDC, Activesync, Outlook 2007, WinMo or Manila 2.0/2.1.
I think I'm starting to look into syncing with google OTA instead...

Exactly the same problem on my Omnia (latest original ROM).
I sync to two computers (both XP, Outlook 2007 SP2). Syncing works in the meantime (at least sometimes; Support Code 86000107 ).
Try changing the items from yearly appointment to "every twelve months".
It might work.
I experienced some funny things after changing to "every twelve months" and sync. Here's an example:
Computer 1: "every 12 months" beginning on June 6 ....
Computer 2: "every 12 years" beginning on June 6 ....
Omnia: "Every June 6"
Ain't it funny?

PS: Sometimes I long for my old Prophet.
FYI: Uninstalling SP2 for Office solved this problem on both Computers I sync with (it happened to both of them).
I assume not all people with this problem use the German version of Office 2007?
This is such a basic function for an pda.. and it doesn't work correctly with a fully patched current version of office..

Same problem here
I have the same problem when synchronizing my Touch HD with two computers using Office SP2.
The problem is also being discussed in this Microsoft thread:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...p/thread/8dbfde6c-9788-4ff9-a4b8-6b5751b765da
As a heavy user of the Outlook calendar, this bug is by far my biggest gripe. I really hope they get this resolved. I am seriously starting to consider other platforms that seem more reliable.
I'm also having this issue. I have two computers, one has Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2007 SP2, ActiveSync 4.5; the other has Windows 7 64 bits, Outlook 2007 SP2 and WMDC.
Do I have to uninstall SP2 from both computers or just one? I'm going to try uninstalling it on the Windows XP computer and see how it goes. I'll keep you updated.
Update: On the XP computer I have been able to uninstall SP2, but not SP1. SP1 cannot be uninstalled. And my install disc has SP1 included. If I must get rid of SP2 and SP1 on both computers to get around this, I'm out of luck, it seems.
Someone tried Outlook 2010 yet?
I have spent a couple of hours doing some tests, and unfortunately I have bad news. This bug is most like caused by a change in Outlook 2007 after installing SP1 or SP2 (I can't tell at this moment), which breaks Calendar synchronization with ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 (and 6.0). Moving to Outlook 2010 beta won't help either.
The test consisted on setting up two different computers with the following configuration:
Computer 1: Windows 7 32 bits Ultimate Release Candidate (that's the "spare" computer I can use for tests), with Office 2010 Home and Office beta and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.
Computer 2: Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bits, with Office 2007 SP2 and ActiveSync 4.5.
PocketPC: FS Loox N560 in which I used PIM Backup to transfer appointments, contacts and tasks from my main PDA. The FS had no previous association, and no PIM data, almost like hard-reseted.
I proceeded as follows:
I restored appointments, contacts and tasks into the PocketPC. Checked that data was there and seemed correct (some 205 contacts, 143 appointments, 7 tasks).
Then plugged the PocketPC to Computer 1 in order to load my PIM data into this clean install of Outlook (there was no previous data, I just set up one email to get it started).
First surprise, after WMDC completed synchronization most yearly appointments where changed to occur every 12 years instead. The weirdest thing was that not all of them where changed, but I didn't look exactly which were untouched, so I can't comment on that (I may do some additional testing here).
I spent some time correcting them all. Then I unplugged my PocketPC and plugged it back to check that repetitions were still every year.
Then I plugged my PocketPC to Computer 2. I set up ActiveSync to sync calendar, contacts and task. After synchronization was completed I was back to square one, all yearly appointments where now 12 years.
I changed a few back to every year, and went back to Computer 1. Again all appointments where changed to 12 years .
Then I tried limiting repetitions to 10 for some appointments (as suggested elsewhere), corrected again to happen every year. No luck, those were also changed to 12 years after moving from Computer 1 to Computer 2 or the other way around.
So, the conclusion is that after Outlook 2007 SP1, ActiveSync 4.5 and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 calendar synchronization is broken. If you have one single computer it's not that much problem, since once you manually correct everything, it will stay. The bad news is for those of us that have two computers and have to use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center instead of Microsoft Exchange to keep everything synchronized.
I have no work around to offer. Only maybe moving to Google Calendar and synchronizing desktops and PocketPCs with it. Or giving up with Windows Mobile. I find increasingly frustrating this bug and that no one at Microsoft seems to care about it .
As Eddie73 explained early in the thread, the problem was introduced with Office 2007 SP2, if you have SP1 you don't have the option to repeat an event every X years, so ActiveSync/WMDC don't mess up your yearly events.
Fortunately SP2 can be uninstalled using this tool from Microsoft. After that reboot and you're ready to go again.
This means that I have been able to fix the problem simply by uninstalling SP2 . Nice. I hope Microsoft fixes the problem sooner rather than later, because being stuck at Office 2007 SP1 isn't ideal.
Here is a macro that will remove the 12-year reoccurance. I cannot take credit here is the source: ttp://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobilehelp/thread/8dbfde6c-9788-4ff9-a4b8-6b5751b765da

Hi, I am using Outlook tasks on PC and synchronize with my HTC Touch Diamond 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5. But since too many tasks are displayed on the mobile, I cannot work with it properly. Does anyone know a registry change in order to filter out all tasks with a due date in the future?
I have seen new apps for using tasks on a mobile but isn't there a registry change possible for this?
Thanks,
John.
Hi,
this thing is driving me nuts. I've spent the last 20 hours trying to figure out how to make this simple setting.
The environment: TP1, WM 6.5 / 6.1
The problem: You open a stock WM calendar application. Lets suppose you have an appointment in the agenda view. You select the appointment (select with the arrow keys). Then, you want to create _a new_ appointment. But. You want this new appointment to occur _directly after_ the appointment you've selected earlier.
I've checked 9 ROMs (most Energy ROMs) with WM 6.5 and two ROMs with WM6.1 and only one ROM supported this feature. Now, maybe I'm exaggerating, but a 6.5 Windows version _should have a very simple thing like this one fixed_! God damn it!
The question: does anybody know a registry fix / a solution (adding subsequent appointments in agenda view; a new appointment will automatically get a start time after the first appointment ended).
I've searched/tried:
- the xda forum
- the ROMs (I have a list)
- used AgendaOne <- this program solves the issue
- used Pocket Informant <- latest 9.10 version doesn't fix the issue on WM 6.5, haven't (yet) checked on WM 6.1
Regards.
