[Q] Birthdays on today screen - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I like HTC-Sense coming with my HD2, but I'm not happy with the birthdays... Well, they can be presented in the Outlook-calendar, but I don't want to have hundreds of entries per day. Rather I would prefer a special program, which presents birthdays on the today screen.
Can anyone help me with this?
(I already installed the Manila Birthday Reminder, but I forget to start the program an daily basis..)

Maybe this tool can help you:

How I said, I already installed Manila Birthday.
I would like to add the birthdays somehow to my today screen without having to start a program.
Can anyone help me?

Can anyone help me with these birthdays..?

Calendar appointments from Lotus Notes - Citrix :(

Hi Guys
i'm trying to get my work Lotus Notes appointments in to my WM6 device. Sadly this is not as easy as it should be as its Citrix environment and locked down tighter than a nuns chastity belt.
So, I thought I had an idea! I added my personal email address as an Invite to a meeting and hey presto... the phone received it. The email had the attachment:
C085635.ics
The file even had the little calendar icon ... "result!" i thought... until i clicked it and got the following message:
"Failed to save". Received data may be incomplete"
I've tried this with a couple of appointments but i get the same message. I think the error is misleading as all other attachments come through fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
same problems as you
Hello,
I have the same problems as you. Have you found a solution?
Thank you for your reply.
I've found a solution. Just enable "Include file attachments". You can found the setting in the Active Sync options, by the Email Settings. Hope it worked for you too.
I didn't find a solution to that specific problem but when I changed ROMS to a diferent one, it started working fine.
For me, it wasn't as Sussex said as
I think the error is misleading as all other attachments come through fine.

HTC 5800/Fusion/S720/?? -- Appointments

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure where this would fit and I couldn't find out what model it exactly is. My girlfriend just picked up a new phone from Verizon and the Model it shows on phonescoop says, "HTC 5800/Fusion/S720". What I'm trying to figure out is, on a different phone, when you put new appointments in your calendar, it shows more than one appointment. However, on the HTC 5800 (fusion, etc) it doesn't show your next/upcoming appointments. It only shows the current appointment. Is there any way I can configure it to show more than one appointment? Or is this a limitation of WM. From what I gather, it's WM6 Standard.
Thanks in advance.
can anyone help me?

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...
www.pocketinformant.com:)
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.
SBSH Calendar Touch
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....

I have a question for wm6. I have a diamond2 with a cooked rom, and I cannot see the next events in the page of "updates and events" of the contacts in the phone. I would like to know if someone knows the place in the registry editor to modify this matter.
Thank you in advance,
