Need a calendar app able to give a notification at birthdays - General Questions and Answers

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.

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] Android Calendar Query

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.

Tried to install but appears only the cake with "0" inside. Tried to reset but it seems that doesn't read birthday from contacts.
Any tips ?
wow MoonNah very very nice widget. Was looking for this a long time. but I do have a problem. this widget automatically shows my first contacts in the phonebook, but not those who actually have their birthday, furthermore when i push the sms button, nothing happens and one last thing. it is not possible to move it past half of the screenheight in edit mode
maybe you know, what may cause this

You have contacts in the phone or SIM card, the widget reads only from the phone.

The right-wing will become active only if today is the birthday, otherwise they are inactive. Activity you will see when the contact and date of birth will be green as a 4 screenshot first post.
With moving down, we must analyze not pay attention.
Else you have described must be corrected by clicking on the widget and updating of data widget.
Updated the cab makes it possible for a bug with the inability to move the widget to the bottom of the layer. Look 1 post.
Hi MoonNah,
very well done, thank you. I have to try it because there are so many people around me, which birtday i forget every time .
One hint for the naming convention of widgets (actual).
old_ = BL_Group BirthdayWidget.cab
new = CHTW_BL Group_BirthdayWidget_v1.0.cab

the moving down works now^^ but the other problem still remains. I let the widget show 3 contacts in sms mode. The widget is simply displaying the first 3 contacts in my contacts list. Furthermore the numeber displayed in the cake of those three people is alway 410. and their birthday is all the sam which is the first of january 1601^^ and I know that this is not the case^^
I wasnt sure what you meant with updating the data widget. I clicked on the widget, but nothing happenend. I even tried it with 3G active but still nothing
Edit:
All these three persons had no birthday inserted, dont know why But now I changed the birthday and the one contact really works. So by default it seems to be, that if there is no birthday inserted the birthdate is the 01.01.1601.
But still....a friend of mine has his birthday in 4 days, but he is not displayed. The birthdate is of course inserted. I dont know, but shouldnt the widget display the next birthdays?^^

Who does not work please send me a widget on [email protected] their contacts database (file pim.vol), to identify causes of errors, after testing ensures removal of these bases.

after reinstalling it works now^^ sry to be bothering you the whole time^^ but the default date for a contact without a birthday inserted is qutite annoying. The widget does show 2 contacts with their birthday before the first of january. But one contact of mines birthday is on the 4th of january. his birthday should be displayed, but it wont, because a contact without a birthday inserted by default has his birthday on the 01.01.1601. I mean this is just annyoing until the 2nd of january, but still. this default birthday is quite disturbing

Just looking at your database I can find out the cause of errors in my database is great, and judging by klichestvu downloads and problems encountered, it is still special cases, and they must be solved privately.

It is at the root of the phone next to the folder Windows, using the File Manager (Resco Ehplorer, Total Comander) copy it like a memory card and then transfer to the PC and send it to my mail, I shall understand the reason for the error.
Look my screenshot (selected file)/
Hi MoonNah,
yes received and file is on the way, better the link... and thank you for your response...

Put your base in the phone book only 4 days of birth and date of birth there is certainly wrong for 2 years of age usually do not have phones in people. But even in this form widget job correctly, you have to deal with the firmware.

[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
