[Q] Android Calendar Query - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Im currently using DHD and was wandering about a calendar issue thats bugging me..I use the smallest stock calendar widget 4x1 on my home screen which displays a single reminder or calendar event but this event is always a reminder for the following day/s eg a birthday...is there a setting that can be changed that will make this display the current days event or reminder?
eg Joe Bloggs Birthday tmrw...but when tmrw comes it wont remind me, it will tell me the next days event.
Quite annoying as it relies on me remembering the previous days reminder or missing birthdays!(As the events are being pulled from Facebook calendar so are not manual alarm notifications)
Many thanks, I checked the previous threads on Calendar issues and couldnt find any similar posts.

Need a solution to my problem

This is what's happening. I have a training schedule, it's quite intense so I have set several re-occurring appointments in my WM calendar app. Now, I also have some work events which are in my calendar as well. Right now what happens is an alarm goes off and I think it's something from my training schedule, but it's actually an appointment, thus end up missing my appointment. I know there is a simple solution to this: just look at the PDA to see what event it is, but ideally I would like a different alarm for my training and my work appointments so that when it goes off I don't need to look at my PDA but I can just go do my thing.
The question is, pocket calendar lets you set up one alarm for ALL events so what app will do this?

Calendar appointments

Hey everyone....
Does anyone know if we can get the calendar app. on the Fuze to show upcoming appointments like a week in advance? Mine will not show the appointments in the calendar tab until the day it happens. I HAVE SEARCHED The FORUMS ALREADY and could no find the answer, so please if you know it I would appreciate it....or If you can please point me to the right thread I would appreciate it as well as I cant find the answer on my own.
Thanks for the help.
many of us have tried to make Touchflo show more appts, however, its not possible at this time. your best option, if you need this, is to disable touchflo, and download some other homescreen app (ie, spb diary, etc)
And while on the subject of the Fuze calendar, I noticed today that appointments without a start/end time (all day appointments) do NOT show up in the monthly view as little icons on the display.
This is REALLY annoying, as I use glancing at the monthly display to determine if I'm available on a given day for work (I'm a freelancer).
Is there a solution, aside from editing all my all day appointments to give them a start and end time?
Is there another, better calendar program that someone can recommend?

I've been using Pocket Informant for a few years and I can't operate without it...

Thanks for the reply. That looks like a LOT more features than I need, but it's an intersting app.
Can you confirm that an all-day appointment with no set start or end time made on Outlook on the dsktop shows on the Fuze display with pocketinformant?
After further investigation (I'm new to Outlook, having used Palm Desktop for a decade or so), it seems that in Outlook if you enter an all day event, you must also mark the event/day as "BUSY" instead of the default "FREE", and then a "something is happening this day" icon shows up in the Fuze calendar monthly view.

assign it to a (left) softkey
this is something that is still really bothering me, and i know that there are alternatives, but i personally love tf3d, so i was thinking, is it possible to have a calendar tab that shows your next 5-6 appointments? i know that there is a calendar tab floating around, but it just shows you a month calendar. if there was a way to set that tab to show your upcoming appts, that would solve my, and many others as well, problem. thanks

I second that. It would be nice to have a customizable today (TAB) that we could put the today screen or if not possible just appointments.. Hopefully some handy XDA'er is working on it....

[Q] LauncherPro calendar widget with facebook events

Hey all,
I'm having a really annoying problem on my android device. Basically facebook events do not get removed from the calendar/agenda when you change from 'attending' to 'not attending' This is particularly annoying to me because I am trying to get rid of a multiple day event (may 4 through june 11) and it clutters every single day of my calendar/agenda. If anyone knows of a way to remove facebook events from the LP calendar/widget please let me know.
Thanks

My One S with firmware ""1.77.111".5 always displays e.g. 5-day-appointsments (Mo-Fr) whole-time starting at the first day and at the last day with a bar starting at 0:00 till 23.59. The day in between are displayed normals (as known from outlook).
All my appointments are synced from a exchange server and also displayed correctly in Outlook and previous HTC Sense versions...
May someone knows how to configure the display.
many thanks

Need a calendar app able to give a notification at birthdays

Hello Guys
I own an Xperia E1 (Android 4.4 based).
My contacts have an event added which is their birthday.
I am searching for a calendar app showing on the month (or week) view a notch on the date of a birthday in order for me to plan something before the crucial day... (as they do for a "normal" event.
If this calendar app can back up it's data in a "standard" format, it will be a huge bonus.
I'm tired to try every app I can find just to see it does not work.
Many many thanks in advance for your help and knowledge.
Have a bright day.
