Hi,
I don't know where the difference to the general forum, so I hope I'm right here.
I had a few problems with the birthday appointments in the calender, so I delete everyone. Some birthdays where 2-5x in the calender and a few had a reminder every 12 years.
So the birthday of may contacts is stored in the details part. Know I want, that my phone reminds me if someone has birthday. Whats the best solution? I prefer a solution, that also outlook will notify my. But when only my phone will notify me, its also ok.
I use the HTC Touch Pro 2 with the EnergyROM (WM 6.5 and Manila 2.1)
best regards,
neon

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 use Microsoft Outlook 2007 to sync my TytnII.
Some of my contacts has a birthday entry, that is also scheduled in my calendar.
The problem is that I get reminded of these birthdays 23H45 the previous day.
I cannot seem to find a place to set the time for these reminders.
It's very annoying. Can someone please help ?
Hallo,
I hope this is the right forum for my question - so if not, i'm sorry!
Is there a way to change or expand the calendar-categories in manila 2.5?
There are only 4 categories: Business, Holiday, Personal and Seasonal.
I think it would be helpful to add Categories like "Birthday, Meeting, Pet, Weeknumbers, etc".
I hope anyone can help - so -
Thanks
There`s an option "Create" while selecting category. Otherwise, you can create a category in Outlook, mark an appointment. When synchronising, all categories, mentioned in meetings, will be synchronised with your Diamond.
same issue!
I was just looking into the same issue:
I use oggsync to sync google calendars and just upgraded/flashed dutty's new 6.5 holy grale R0. For me there's definitely no option "create category", though my via oggsync synced appointments do have the right category. But when I create a new appointment I only can choose from Business, Holiday, Personal and Seasonal.
Is there another way to get my google categories in this list?

same problem on my hd2 with german stock ROM.
PUSH!
Outlook Mobile shows all categories, that are on exchange and pc outlook. But the HTC calendar shows only the preconfigured ones and not the new entries.
Is this a known bug?

hi,
i think its not a bug, at htc the simply do there own think with 'sense' and they simply didnt think about integration with wimo/outlook. maybe they taken the calendar from the android version of sense . anyhow i searched the web up and down and cannot find any information about it. i think they put the categories in one of there manilafiles and so a change would not be easy done.
an alternative is to use gekonewcal (its not free anymore) to make new appointments. the programm uses also own categories but you can edit them and put your outlook ones in. personaly i disabled this useless htc calender and looking now at thumbcal and other complete replacements.
regards mad
Modify Manila 2.5 calendar Categories
Not a real solution, but the best (only) solution I found so far:
change manila calendar categories
I love my Touch Diamond 2 for what it does as a PDA but lately i've been thinking wouldnt it be cool to have the number of someone you are meeting or address. You can only do this in 6.5 if the contact has an email address and when you add that contact you end up emailing them pocket informant is supposed to have this feature so has agenda one. but the problem is when you click on manilla calendar you go straight to 6.5 calendar even when you change the settings.
Sorry for the long message. All id like is a someway to add contact details to appointments in 6.5 if not maybe a way of making agenda one the default app for manilla calendar.
did that make sense??
Moved as not software release or development.
Please take your time to read the rules..
hi dear! i think title its enough to understand my idea
i think its a very big error by htc to dont let contacts and calendar syncronize
i have some contacts who are paired with facebook (i dont know if twitter work because i dont use it) and it download things like birth date!! or some event u want to report in ur calendar from facebook
i have a really bad memory for birthdays and it will help me sooooo much and i dont think to be alone
uhm....what should i intend? there is no way?
Yeah, I would much apreciate that as well.. It would be very helpfull..
It already does. I got a friend whose birthday is on 24 dec, and it appears in my calendar. It is the only one however, so i guess it only shows the birthdays in the next few days.

Well, actualy it does only when you sync your phone with outlook. But i'd love some app, which can do dat evev without outlook sync (because i'm no using it ).
i have a friend whose birthday is 28 dec and dosnt show...im not using outlook too and i dont want it only to syncronize contacts...i prefere backup theme and store
Xardus,
Most probably you already know this but in Outlook there is a field in contacts under the tab "details" here you can fill in the birth date and year. Now in contacts under Wm 2003 (SE) the PDA and Outlook automaticly put a alarm on that specific day and give the age itself. Now in Outlook you will not see this shortley before the date appearing. I have not changed my Outlook and after sync everything including the birth date appeared BUT not in the calender. Now this was also in WM 2003 so I think that a few days (don't know how many)it will pick it up and will appear as a reminder.

yea i know but fist i dont use outlook so i will never buy just to syncro calendar ^^
i know that we can set it manually in contact tabs,i use it at work sometime
i think its quiet usefull take birthdate directly from FB contact and put on calendar...or maybe an app on facebook to store ur birth and then syncro with phone calendar (but it should be a very very big work)

search for fonebook an app for Facebook and Outlook
its an app for ppc or pc?
Any birthdays you add to your contacts will be added to you calendar when you sync with your PC, also if you link a contact with Facebook, that will also add it to your calendar (sometimes you'll even end up with 2 birthdays on a date for the same person).
On a side note....anyone know how to get the calendar to show the age of the person like you would on the Touch HD, as your putting in a complete date of birth, the touch HD would show the persons birthday then their age in brackets after it....doesn't seem to do that anymore...anyone know if there is a way to achieve this?
