After synching laptop to Tilt with Outlook 2007, the birthdate of people in the contacts shows up on the Tilt as one day earlier than the day recorded on the laptop. Anybody else experience this problem.
My problem is almost the same.
Flashed my BlueAngel to WM6.1 and now birthday and anniversary fields in Outlook XP and PocketOutlook (contacts and calendar) are set one day early.
The really funny part is, that in thunderbird (synced with birdiesync) I have the right dates in addressbook, but not in the lightning calendar as reminders.
Any solution for this?
Please check the timezone on your Laptop / PC and your phone.
ActiveSync changes appointments and other times based on the difference in timezones so they would actually appear "on time".
If there is a large enough difference between PC and Phone they may shift a whole day.
Also please avoid posting questions in the news forum. It is for news only!
I synced my Fuze to my Outlook. Everything appears to have transferred.
But when I look at my calendar on my Fuze, inputted items that are multiday events and in which I check all-day event don't show up in the week or month view. They can, however, be seen in the day view.
Please advise.
A friend of mine who just got his G1 sms'd me that the only thing not good abt the Google calendar is that it will not do reminders for events that reoccur on different days each year.
Like Mother's Day (second Sunday in May) and Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November) or someone's payday (every third Thursday on a full moon or whatever.)
I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make a program that'll allow this. Who's up to it?
This is not a G1 issue, it's a Google Calendar issue. Cal on G1 just parses the data in your Google Calendar account. What your problem is is getting events that recur on something other than a fixed date onto there. For holidays, simply add one of the public holiday calendars.
Here it is the english version of BirthdaysToCalendar. It will add all or selected birthdays of your contacts to your calendar. This is useful for people that do not have Outlook on their PCs, to accomplish the task.
The program offers a few choices, either add all birthdays to the calendar in one go or let it ask in single steps for each contact's birthday to be added or not. Set the reminder time (time you will be informed prior to the birthday) in minutes. 1 day would be 1440min. , 2 days 2880 min. and so forth. On top you can have the birth year added to the subject, so you will know how old they'll be.
No duplicates will be generated if the program is run again. However, if you have a birthday alert set up manually yourself before, but they are not in the the same form (John Doe's Birthday or Birthday John Doe) they will be duplicated.

Thank you for your application, It has been added to the rollup thread.
Is it different then B2C - Birthday2Calendar? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529857
Yes, it's different, though both derive from a sample included in MS Visual Studio 2008 with the same name
With his you can vary the reminder time (will add that too), with mine you can single step through the birthdays, so they differ a bit.
[Edit]
Mine has the same functionality +more now

My Outlook 2007 on PC will automatically add birthdays to Calendar as long as I have entered the birthday data into contacts and sync them.

New extended version is up.
I'll be on vacation until Sunday 23rd and probably won't be able to answer, if questions arise. Just letting you know
Take care,

Hi, I install this app and when I run it it set all my birthdays to my calendar, but it put it duplicate, for example, I have a birthday on 18 July, so the app put the birthday 18 and 19 July. So when I tried to delete the bad one, when I try to access the birthday, mi screen turn white and I cant delete o edit the appointment.
My question is, how can I delete this appointments or the all calendar?
Thanks.
TinTin,
Do you mind to share your code or change the program so we can change the appointment prefix (localization to another language)?
Best regards.

I get the same problem, I realise what has caused it but trying to delete the appointments in phone just causes the white screen and forces me to do a soft reset.
Same problem here as the people above me have mentioned. Screen turning white when wanting to delete extra day.
So I've given up waiting for google to implement a decent selection of recurring events on their calendar, and am trying other options.
The type of thing I'm looking for is to be able to schedule events on the first/last day/weekday/weekend day of the month. I got close with a trial of pocket informant but after a while that starting duplicating events on the wrong days (last day of the month would repeat on all the weekdays in the last week of the month).
I then tried the outlook.com app to sync my microsoft calendar to the phone. Again, the data appears fine in microsoft-land, but on the android phone the events are all duplicated across the wrong days.
Does android just not like recurring events?
It's almost enough to make me consider jumping ship to WP8! Well, not really but it annoys me intensely.
Update:
OK, so with PI I can add a recurring event on say the last day of the month. However, whereas the google calendar on my pc shows a correct recurrence, on the phone, with PI or any other calendar I try (stock, jorte, business calendar) the recurrences are incorrect.
