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.

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:

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
Hello everybody and a Happy New Year,
I would like to know if it's possible to automatically transfer (take over) the birthday dates of my contacts in the calendar as recurring events (reminders), to be able to display them on the "Today" screen. I would like to do this without additional software, if it's possible. I have the english version of Windows 2003 SE on my Dell Axim X30i PDA (firmware A05).
Thank you very much in advance for each advice!

I know there is a program todo it, i'll have to find it tonight.... The main problem would be that i don't know if it supports wm 2003.....
Thank you for your reply. So you mean is not possible without an additional software? So in WM2003 the contacts birthday datas will not be automatically transfered in Calender as reccuring events?
There is a program called "darkannifalert" That says it will add alerts for contacts birthdays (i have never tried it but i imagine it does what it says ) No wm does not natively support adding birthdays to your calender. You can give the program a shot but it probably was made for wm5 and later (you're 3 versions of wm behind, so it will be a little harder to find 3rd party apps )
As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone
"As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone"
but...when I go to phone's calender ..view by month ...that day would not be highlighted ..but when i click into taht day ..the word who birthday appeal ..is normal to wm?
Hey, there appear to be a number of problems with birthdays in Outlook and Pocket PC, which i think i may have found a solution for. There are numerous threads throughout xda looking for solutions so i thought i would put this here, if thats ok, to try and create a major thread with solutions. Please move/delete etc if this is an issue. Firstly ill outline the issues as i see them:
Editing or creating a contact on a WM device and adding their birthday results in no event being added to the calendar. For an event/appointment to be created you need to add the users birthday to a contact in Outlook on a Desktop. (This appears to be on 2003, i havent tested 2007 - someone confirm?)
Syncing contacts through exchange results in the same as above.
There is no way to change the default reminder a new birthday is added for a contact.
I found an app called CustomBirthdays which is a plugin for Outlook on the desktop, which allows you to fully customise the automatic appointments that are made for birthdays when a contact is edited. It can search your contacts and generates the autoevent if you have just synced your contacts from your WM to a new Desktop outlook or exchange session. It also lets you set what the default reminder is for all birthdays etc.
I DO NO HAVE ANY AFFILIATION WITH THIS COMPANY/SOFTWARE. Its just this has been a massive pain in the A** for me in the past, and due to the number of other requests i thought i would share. There is a 30 day trial which lets you do everything. Heres the link:
http://www.outlook-stuff.com/lang-en/products/calendar/231-custombirthdays.html
The reason i want this instead of today plugins for my WM, is because this way it generates an appointment in the WM calendar, and is not a seperate app searching through your contacts to display on today. I also use TF3D, which only shows appointments and not today plugins.
I hope this is useful to some people
Please post any freeware or other solutions you may have.
I have several outlook categories for my contacts (e.g. - friends, business, hobbies) with HD2 contacts I have to go to "filter" to separate them and once you click on one and go back, you have to filter again.
it would be nice if there was a way to have a tab or shortcut or someway for me to easily just see each category friend list and scroll thru them.
there are other contact manager programs that allow this, but I'd rather use the hd2 interface.
thanks!!!
Up until recently I was using WiMo and was very happy with the SPB diary application. In Outlook calendar I have various events categories, both standard (e.g. birthdays) and non-standard (e.g. hearings, in my case), all denoted by different colour. SPB diary imported those categories automatically and allowed me to automatically assign colours to their text. Therefore I could automatically see with a quick glance all the important stuff. I' ve been looking for a simillar app in android but no luck yet. Best one I have found yet is Jorte but it's not the same thing as you need to "manualy" change the colour of each event as oppose to changing colour by importing the category from Outlook. Currently, all Outlook sync events come off as green in various apps, HTC calendar included, without the option to change the colour.
Anyone has any build something like what I am after or has any ideas? preferably without using Google sync. Too much clouding is bad for your health methinks
