Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking around here for a few months looking at all the options before I purchased a new phone. Now I have a nice shiny TD2 and have already flashed it 4 times with various roms from the guys on here. May I say all the different roms are fantastic and the time you put in to do this is immense. My everyone keep up the good work.
Right down to my question.
I have various calendars set up via Outlook 2007.
1 Home Calendar
2 A Formula 1 calendar downloaded from the BBC.
3 A work Calendar.
Is there any way that these 3 can be displayed in the default calendar on the phone? That is the HTC Sense calendar.
Thanks for your time

It is not possible to replace the Sense calendar with another one, but you can sync all to Sense or you can create shortcuts from home tab to point to your other caledar aps with ssmaho.
You can use google calender for this
1 put all calenders in google calender
2 sync phone with google by activesync
3 you have 3 calenders in your phone
Thanks exo.
I will try this as it gives me what I need.

I have exchange 2007 set up with mobile activesync on my two phones. (sprint Titans) One is for myself and other for my wife. We want a single shared calendar between ourselves leaving our email seperated. Activesync won't allow you to sync a shared calendar from what I have found. Ive searched all over a solution to this and becoming frustrated with the lack of options Microsoft gives you. I can't imagine being the only person with this desire. I can see this being very useful in a business enviroment with the ability of everyone to view a master calendar on the go.
Any suggestions?
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?

bboerny
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
Hello all,
I use android on my HD2 for a month now and im very satisfied. I only miss one thing and that is the functionality of calendar and exchange... let me explain.
I want the same as in winmo calendar meaning:
Ability to sync all appointments (now not an option in android exchange settings)
Ability to copy paiste appointments (not possible in touchdown, which im using now)
Ability to set peak times (not possible in android exhange settings)
Ability to work with one agenda and not two (as in google and exchange) so mb an outut function ?
And it will be nice to switch form week to week in day view (as in winmo calendar)
Heck is there an winmo calendar for android ? HAhaha
Does any1 know either an app that does the above, or an app that edits the android exchange setting. Any1???
Thanks !!
Any1 ? I cant believe im the only one with this problem. Is there a solution or doesnt it excist ?
Pre-amble:
Windows Phone 7, configured properly and 100% working with Exchange (e-mails set to sync back 1 month)
So, today someone asked me what day I met with someone back on December 2nd (today is December 20th).
That day I had a Calendar entry, and it IS (I confirmed) on my outlook (also setup with Exchange). I went on my phone and the Calendar item wasn't on my Calendar on the phone...
I double checked all my appointments for the past week were both on outlook/phone and they were, but it seems to get blury before the 2nd.
Anyone have any idea why some of these items are disapeering?
Did you check how many days back it will keep items?
I'm not a bonehead, but I can't find a setting for how far back the calendar goes! I can find it for e-mail (which is set to go WAY WAY back), but not for the calendar...
( I know WM6 had the setting, but can't find it on here)

Well the answer clearly is you met with them on december 2nd
now on a serious note. just looked at my calendar and went back to july and all my meetings and what not are all still there. (just in case i have no idea how exchange works) but my guess is for some odd reason you erased it from your calendar on your device.
all my calendar items are still there.
no need for people to be hostile... it could just merely be a syncing issue. this might sound a bit of a reach, but have you tried removing the exchange account and readding it?
haha, sorry about the typo, I had a few glasses of wine before my original post.
(I meant to say they asked me what time I met with someone that day)...
Anyways, the issue is still there, reconfigured the sync and absolutely no change. I've kind of narrowed it down though. It appears it will only sync the calendar back 2 weeks into the past exactly....
Is this a default setting on WP7 we can't change? (Please keep in mind inside of my e-mail sync settings on the phone, I have it configured to go back a month).
Did you go to settings/email accounts and make sure the sync calendar box is checked?

Uhh yes...
As I mentioned originally, The Calendar is syncing, and items are staying up to date (I have at least 6-8 items per day that have to be updated, and they are staying updated, theres no problem with these).
The problem is that after 2 weeks, it just removes the items off the phone (they stay on my Exchange mailbox, and stay in Calendar), the phone just removes them...
E-Mail is setup to sync a month into the past, so I'm thinking the e-mail sync past feature only applies to e-mail on the phone. I havn't been able to find a "how far back to sync" option specifically for the Calendar.
In my last post, I mentioned that I got rid of the Exchange sync, and reconfigured it. This removed everything, and re-set it all up.... The calendar still only goes back 2 weeks...
The only items that are in my Calendar before the 2 weeks are appointments which are configured as re-curring. Any other type of appointments don't show in the past further than 2 weeks into the past.
I don't beleive this is anything I'm doing wrong. I'm just wondering if this 2 weeks into the past thing is hardcoded into the phone, or what...
Just wondering if anyone has found a solution for this 2 weeks thing?
I find it very annoying that only recurring appointments/reminders are kept longer than 2 weeks!
I want my Calendar to store all my appointments and to keep them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has always been so with me too, and many others as I've read on other forums. I hope this will change in the future.
I know this is delayed, but it's great to know this is happening to someone else and not just me!

Well, I know it may be a bit cluncky, but as my lovely place of employment does not support Active Sync for Windows Phones, I have been using "Google Calendar Sync" on my laptop to keep my Outlook Calendar in sync with my Google calendar (and thus my phone) and have not "lost" any old appointments in my Google calendar.
for exchange, go to settings email accounts outlook and change how many days it syncs email
For hotmail and facebook there isn't a setting but i can go forward and backward months on the calendars and see appointments.
What calendar / account are you having the issue with? I don't have a google calendar to test.
I have a nice brandnew Desire S, no custom rom (yet) and all original.
I'm experiencing a calender problem I can't find any info about on google.
I have both a google account with appointments, and an exchange account with appointments. When I make a new appointment in outlook, it get's replicated okay to my phone. A moment later the appointment also gets replicated to my google account, and therefore appears 2 times in my calender app (HTC).
Also when I make a new appointment in Google (on the phone or on PC does not matter) it first shows on the phone once, and later it seems to get replicated to my exchange account and it appears also in outlook and twice on my phone.
I dont want replication between the calenders, I just want to be able to look at both calenders.
Anyone an idea about what I am overlooking?
Thanks!

From within the HTC Calendar application
Calendar->More->Calendars and un-select one of your calendars....either Google or Outlook.

But that's not what I want. I want to be able to look into 2 (soon 3) separete calenders, without getting all appointments replicated to the other calenders...
But somehow the problem got solved. The described behaviour has suddenly disappeared. Pitty I don't know why ;-)

We're you running any additional Sync software on your PC, HTC Sync or Google Calendar Sync?
