Thanks to Mango's multiple calendar support and Windows Live Birthday Calendar, my friends' birthdays show up on my lock screen and home screen, and i didn't have to do a single thing (beside keeping my contact list synced and organized), which is great. However, all the birthday events come with a default 12-hour reminder, which my phone notifies me, and its annoying. How do i collectively disable the reminders for all my birthday events?
Same thing has been happening to me. I think its Windows Live Calender setting/issue. Unfortunately, I don't think you can collectively disable them. I think the only way to get rid of it is to go into each birthday in your windows live calender and turn off the notification for that individual.
I found the solution (running Mango 7.5), you go into the Calender, hit the "..." on the bottom right, go to Settings and you can choose to disable birthdays or all of Windows live reminders on the calendar as well.

Thanks.. it worked for me too.. I am not sure what is the default.. I have two HTC Titans, one had it On, and other off..
Disabling the Calendar altogether is another story. It was asked if we can disable notifications for any single calendar or event.
As for disabling notifications of a specific calendar, unfortunately it cannot be done on the phone. You will have to navigate to Calendars in Hotmail and manage notifications from there
You will be presented with options when you select a single calendar and you can easily manage all your notifications (add, edit or remove). You can even send Hotmail to send you notifications via Mail or on your devices via software reminders.
I have personally tested this but have realized that even though i Disabled notifications for the Birthday Calendar of mine, notifications are still pushed to the device.
each account (settings->emails and accounts) has an option to sync contacts, emails and or calendars, right? can't you just can't you just remove calendar from sync settings..

Hi everyone. I maintain all birthdays and anniversaries for my contacts in the contact details. But somehow, they automatically become reminders. How can I set the phone up (including Outlook on PC) to not to make reminders out of birthdays and anniversaries, but still have them in calender as annual events (without reminders)?
Using Kaiser, WM6 (Alex's Clean ROM); PC has Vista, Outlook 2007.
Not positive about Outlook 2007, but in 2003 (which is where I'd change them), once you open the calendar hit, there is a "reminder" box which, if unchecked, will not provide a reminder for the event. You'll want to make sure you open the series, not the individual event before unchecking the reminder box.
That's just ur way of saying you don't wan't to rember you'r anniversarie lol..

Thanks debs, but I already knew that method of disabling reminders, but the problem is that it has to be done for all of them one by one, which is very annoying if you, let's say, hard reset and restore your contacts, it syncs with outlook and then you have your reminders again; or let's say you add new contact in either pc or ppc, sync and another set of reminders.....
I was looking for something that would disable the automatic reminder.
I use SPB diary for these events to be displayed on today screen, so don't really need to reminded at midnight that someone's birthday or anniversary is coming up!

I have the same problem. The main problem is not that it reminds me. I need it to remind me. But I don't want it to remind me at midnight. I want to be reminded at 10 AM for example.
And you are right, we should be able to set reminder for a category of reminders such as Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays, etc..
Anyone has a solution for this?

Hi Damac,
You've probably figured this out by now, but ...
1) In Outlook: Tools -> Options...
In the calendar section there's a checkbox for default reminder. That needs to be unchecked to prevent any new calendar items from getting a reminder. Unfortunately this affects all new items; Birthdays, meetings, etc. You may wish to leave this on and just periodically kill off the annual events that you don't need a reminder for.
2) In Outlook: Calendar mode. View -> Current View -> Annual Events (or Events).
This will show a table of all annual events.
Right click on the heading bar (Subject, Location, Recurrence, etc) and select field chooser.
This will open another floating dialog with extra fields that can be added to the table.
Find "Reminder" in the field list and drag it to the heading bar in a suitable spot.
Now any event that has a reminder will have a little alarm bell icon in the reminder field.
You can single click each of those icons to turn off. It's easier than it sounds and most annual events you won't want a reminder for anyway as the alarm always goes off at midnight!
3) On the PPC: This is for a 6.1 version, but it's similar on all of them.
Start -> Settings. Personal tab. Sounds & Notifications.
Sounds tab. This section alows you to turn off sound for all alarms and notifications.
Notifications tab. Select the 'Reminders' event. This allows you to choose the sound that plays and also whether the sound repeats, light flases & vibrate.
Since I do want to be notified of important days, I've just unchecked the repeat box. There's nothing more annoying than being woken up at midnight by a constant notification alarm about Aunt Bessie's birthday. I can put up with a single alarm, but not a repeating one!
Just like the previous poster, I'm also looking for a way of getting the all day events notifications to activate at a time other than midnight...
Cheers,
Anthony
Anyone got a solution to this?
I want it to remind me at a time I select too. Not midnight.
*push*
Me too. Same problem with annoying reminders at 23:45...
Greets,

When I was still using the IMate Jam (can remember the operating system) it had a option to set the reminder time for all day events.
Why did they change something that worked.
I wish I can get that code of the imate en add it to my HTC Touch pro 2 (WM6.5)

I'm like yourself, I want to be reminded of families birthdays, anniversaries etc but don't want to be reminded at 12.00am.
To stop this I sync'ed my device with Outlook and then changed the reminder notification time to 0.5 days for each birthday/anniversary
Tip, when you open a birthday/anniversary....make sure you click on 'open the series'
Also, you can change the default notification time so for any new birthdays/anniversaries the default time will be set to whatever you choose, i.e. in my case 0.5 days

Thanks. I am doing this already as a work around. But I want the reminder to ring on the day of the birth day not the day before. The Imate Jam (WM 2003) had a setting " all day begin at .... "
How do you change your primary calendar in WP7 so that it will show events in the Calendar tile? Right now it's using my Windows Live calendar which I don't use.

What calendearing system are you using?
I've got my Live and my Exchange (email, contacts, calendar) accounts both syncing to the phone and the Calendar tile shows me my next appointment - regardless which calendar it's on. If I click the tile, it shows me my agenda with both calendars combined (different colors to show which one an appt came from).
I'd like for the Google apps for domains account via Exchange to be my main calendar. Currently it's using my Windows Live account as the main calendar but I don't use that one.
I think I turned my live calendar off on the phone.
It then defaulted to the exchange one.
yeah, I don't see a way to do that since it's the account I initialized the phone with when I first set it up.
unless you are talking about from with the calendar app. I did the same thing. However, it did not default to the next calendar on the list which is my exchange one. I still get nothing showing up in my home page calendar. I can see everything in my agenda once I click on the tile though. But I want that day's events to show up in the tile.
The calendar system will display all of your appointments from all your calendars at once, using different colors to represent different accounts. It will only show the most recent appointment on the start page tile (If there is a conflict, an idicator is shown on the tile with the first appointment in an alphabetical list showing its 'info' on the tile). It will default to the most recently used calendar when you add appointments, although you can change this using the 'Account' listbox while creating the appointment.
Well, it wasn't working until I added a new event through my phone in the calendar I wanted to be the primary. Once I did that, all my appoints started show up on the lock screen and Calendar tile. Works like a charm now!!

what benefit does this have to the OP? we get it... why not help or leave?
I love the s-calendar widget, but I prefer the google calendar app.
In addition, this tablet has two additional calendars (a local one + a samsung one) that I cannot remove: I can hode them (that is, I make visible only google calendars) but I still get the option when creating a new event.
Anyone found a way to remove the two above calendars?
Anyone has suggestions, tips, tricks when using both samsung and google calendar applications? (for example, to avoid double notification, inconsistencies, etc)
thanks
I think if you disable sync calender in accounts the calender wont sync and hence no double notifications, I am not to sure about it you can try and disable the sync of the calender you do want you to notify

yes I have disabled the sync of the samsung calendar, but when I create an event I still have the opportunity to choose it from the list of the available calendars...
also, I have noticed that when creating an event with s-calendar there is no remonder: you have to add it, while with google calendar there's always a default reminder
In S Planner in settings below settings you will all you accounts have you gone into different accounts and uncheck all the sync settings

either I have a different s-planner or I am still missing something...
I have disabled sync for all non-google calendars and this solved half of my problem: now in s-planner I only see the google calendars (3 in total)
ut when I create a new event in s-planner, in the list of available calendars, I still see 5 calendars: the 3 google calendars, the local one (calendario personale, in the picture) and the samsung one (samsung calendar in the pic).

I did that, but samsung calendar and local calendar still shoe up in the list of available calendars when creating an event...
The above option will help you in telling Splanner with which accounts to sync the accounts
This option will allow you to select from which accounts the calender events should be displayed
As far displaying the number of accounts my list is even more then yours I have around 5 same samsung accounts
Hello,
just bought the Mate 7 and set it up. Synchronized the phone with the software "myPhone"Explorer".
I'm not using Google Calender -> no sync etc.
I notice now, that all the birthdays of my contacts are shown in the calender.
As I use also Outlook, i already do have all birthdays listed in my calender.
So, now I have shown every birthday twice in my Mate 7 which I (of course) don't like.
Does anyone have had the same issue and knows if it's possible to disable an option of showing every contacts birthday automatic in the calendar?
Regards,
Bacelo

Hi Grafet,
thank you for your answer.
Just not to get you wrong: you mean the Online Google Calender (https://www.google.com/calendar/) or?
If so, showing birthday is disabled there.
I searched everywhere in the calendar settings of the Mate 7, but couldn't find any option not showing any contact birthdays.
*weird*
Regards, Bacelo
Hello,
I have exactly the same issue till 6 month.
And I couldn't find a way to disable this option.
I think it comes from the contact app.
Anyone can help us ????
Hello,
I guess I just figured it out...
It's the definitely a thing of a combo of calendar- & contact-app like an included function to automatically show the birthdays of the contacts in the calendar (which isn't actually that bad).
But, like me, synchronizing with "MS Outlook" via the software "myPhoneExplorer", I got in trouble because I also have the birthdays in Outlook as an real calendar entry.
So final what I did to get it fixed:
- deleted all birthday calendar entrys in the Mate 7 (which was pulled over from Outlook)
- then, in the software myPhoneExplorer -> settings -> synchronizing -> events & tasks -> enhanced/extended -> filters
- there are two filter fields and in the second I entered: Geburtstag;Birthday
It may differ a bit as I have the sync software in German.
You also might change "Geburtstag;Birthday" to whatever your category naming in Outlook is for the group of birthdays (if you have set that up).
In addition, you can also use the name filter of the first filter field (in my case "Geburtstag von").
*voila* :cyclops:
-> So what it does now, the software filters and skips all Outlook calendar entries of the category you configured (f.e. "Geburtstag" / "Birthday" etc.)

Hello,
I agree with your method. It corrects the fact that we show them twice.
My problem is that I have birthdays stored in my contacts but, for some of them, I don't want to display them in my calendar.
And if I understood your method well, you erased your birthdays from your outlook calendar. I need them in outlook.
Thank you for your solution but I'll try to find another one but as you said, I think it's a native function that is not customizable.

Nope, I did NOT erase anything from outlook calender.
1.) I did erase/delete all the birthday entries in the ANDROID Mate 7 calender (which had been inserted on the very first sync with outlook).
2.) Then, finally only all the CONTACT birthday entries in the Android calender (auto include function?!) showed up
3.) Finally I did set up the filter function in myPhoneExplorer software to EXLUDE Outlooks Birthday calender entries during syncs.
What it does now when synchronizing is to sync everything EXCEPT Outlooks birthday CALENDER entries.
Hope this helps.

Bacelo
I'm facing a strange behavior. I'm using myphone explorer as well to synchronize with Lotus Notes. For some reason the latest calendar entries from Notes have been synchronized into the Huawei birthday calendar.
I didn't even realized that this calendar exists, however if really like to know how to disable it or at least how to prevent MPE to synch with it.
Any ideas?

you can set up some "Ausnahmen" / exceptions as a filter.
This can be done for
- contacts
- calendars & events
So all you need to do is configure a exception filter in MPE in your profile -> menu -> settings (or just hit "F2" in MPE) -> synchronizing -> "Termine & Events" -> Erweitert
- See the right column "Filter" -> the possible entry fields
- in my example, I entered in the first field "Geburtstag von" and in the second one "Geburtstag;Birthday"
So check, how the birthday entries look like in you Lotes Notes and set up MPE filters respectively.

Email notifications are floating but I dont need them
Contacts managed by Outlook do not show all information - for example Birthdays
Contacts managed by Outlook do not sync to outlook.com for days and days and I think they might not even upload at all

I dont need google weather conditions in the Notification centre,
But would like to have the weather listed, when I open google. Cant disable one without disabling the other
You have to enable floating notifications in settings for outlook, go to Settings, installed apps, outlook, notifications and enable pop up. Also choose "no restrictions" for outlook in battery settings
I don't want emails to float though
