Birthday Contacts - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hello is there a way to have the phone tell you when somebody birthday is coming up that you put in your contacts. I looked through the settings but either did not see it or missed it .
Thanks AL

Set the birthday in teh contact information and then check the reminder box and set the reminder time.

You can use Today Agenda. It can show all calendar events including birthdays. It is free and very customizable today plugin.
There is also NS Birthday. It's free software for contacts birthdays which shows days left till birthday, zodiac sign...

Thanks for bringing this one up, very handy !

Microsoft voice command is the best I've used so far, It gives you a Voice notification as well as tone notifications from the calendar. For example, type in, "It's mikeys birthday today asshole" for sunday in september and it'll say it out loud...good app.

Tip: Easy sending of SMS to multiple contacts with a few clicks

I've been looking for a program that could send SMSes to lists, like forward an important SMS to colleagues, jokes to friends etc. The cases are numerous. But even after having created custom categories and assigned them to each contact, there still didn't seem a way to use the categories for this purpose.
But I found Group SMS 1.4.1 over on softonic that adds a menu item "Add Group" which lists the categories that exist in the contact list, and lets you check which you want to add people from. On the next screen you remove checkmarks from those in those categories that you dont want to be added.
Very helpful, I hope it comes in handy for someone else.
Hey Shen why did you not post this just one day earlier. Yesterday was our Eid Festival and I was scrolling through my list of around 400 contacts selecting one by one whom to pick and whom to leave out while sending out "Eid Greetings" message. It took me kind of 45 minutes for just that. You know I really cursed MS for not building into their operating system something as basic as this. So well done I have not tried this yet but I am sure this is what I need.
Yeah I know how annoying that was But I had just found out about that program an hour before I posted here
yeah its a great app used it on my hermes as well to text my team, didn't know there was the add group function on my contacts list when i installed it until last week. Just by chance i found it.
It sure was frustrating when I didn't find any "Send to list" or "Send to group" option when i tried adding recipients for the first time.
Anyone know if theres any app for the TyTN II that combines group sms with disctintive sms sounds?

[REQ DEV] Birthday Notification/reminder

I like to wish my people happy birthday. I have been saving their special day into my phone but want to know if anyone can code a script or tiny program that will bring up a notification reminding me of a friend's bday?
Thanks for looking! Have an awesome day.
You could look into SBSHCalendar. it has the ability to pull you contacts birthday from contact info and put it on your calendar. Hope thiat helped. orry if it didnt
Maybe "Birthdays", a plugin for today screen, here: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/birthdays/
I managed my contacts thru MSoutlook and in every contacts info. there's a field called "Birthday", when you placed the date in that field somehow it makes a reminder in the calendar app.
The downside is that the alarm of the reminders fire's up at midnight, to avoid this you should edit the reminder in MSoutlook in your desktop and change the time is set.
Good luck
thanks guys
I appreciate the input.
I will try that Birthday prog. I don't use standard WM plugin today screen. I'm using wm6.5 titanium but hopefully the main aspect of the prog will work.
I will also try your method Rodrix.
I use TodayAgenda on my today screen which has this functionality - just change the colour scheme to display birthdays and anniversaries in different colours (especially your own anniversary! )

TF3D Home Screen - Upcoming appointments not shown?

Guys,
Just a quick one - I've got an appointment in my calendar for this Friday and it is not showing up as an upcoming appointment on the home screen. Is there a setting I need to enable to make it show upcoming appointments or should TF3D do so by default?
Thanks

What if you add an appointment with the date today or tomorrow, does that one show up?
I think that only entries for today and tomorrow show up by default.
thanks Laban I tried that - the appointment i created for tomorrow showed up but not the one for Thursday, so it looks like only the following day's appointments show up by default.
Does anyone know if this can be changed? I used to find it very useful on my previous WinMo devices being able to see at a glance what I had coming up for the week ahead...
I'd have thought there'd be a registry key to specify the number of days ahead to look. Anyone?
I have this 'problem' too.
Did someone have a solution?
hope there is a registry hack.
would't be really great if this can be changed.

Hi.
Some of my users at the office have had similar problems. In their cases only the "private" appointments appeared on the phone, but not the ones not set as "private". The solution was setting the date to the correct day. This is because the phone syncs all private appointments from the exchange, but only a few days before and after the current date for the rest.
Why the correct private appointments appeared I do not know, but after I set the date to the correct setting everything worked fine.

Calendar call log add & during call appointment add

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a program that will allow me to add peoples numbers in my call log to an appointment in my calendar. I would like to be able to long press and select add to calendar or something o that effect. I get tons of call for apartments and it's really a pain having to copy and paste the number every time. I would also like some time of program that will make appointments from the conversation I'm having over the phone. I thought I remembered something like that for BB a while back and I was wondering if there is something for Android. I have looked in the market place for apps like these but have found nothing. Can you guys suggest any or maybe someone wants to build one . These would be great apps for people like me who get tons of phone calls and need to set appointments.
Thanks
same here,but for WM...

Have a nice day, Ecris Software Team.
I have replied to your email. Expecting something really good from this app
I have just sent you an email. Hope to receive the beta invite soon
Two things, One you need to implement pinning of contacts and second It is not able to load conversation history, sends out errors.
Looking forward to try it out!
@wpxbox
Contact pinning added to our new features to be implemented for the final version.
About the second one I'm going to contact you to request more details.
@arkavat
Email us with the live id you used as primary in your windows phone.
The application is darn slow on my HTC Mozart (I had to kill it)
In most of the case it doesn't show the online contacts (it keeps saying that None of your contacts are online when there are more than 30 people online on PC version).
Sorry, I couldn't test it fully since my device got hanged dozens of time. I understand that this is a beta test, but you have to improve your application a lot.
Let me know if you need more information or video demonstration
It's pretty fast and responsive on my Titan.
- The application icon/tile is just plain sloppy looking. I don't know if that's final, but the blurry letters just don't look good.
- The spacing for each setting on the settings page is not properly aligned left-wise.
- The spacing for the text in the about page is also not properly aligned.
- It's not clearly obvious that I can tap on 'view all' or 'view only connected' text in the contacts pivot. Maybe simply underlining the text, or having it displayed in the user's accent color might make it more obvious that it can be tapped.
- I feel like updating my 'status' text should be easier. Maybe having it built into the 'status' page rather than the configuration page.
I'm sure there is more, but it's a great start to a very simple and fast Talk app. Great work!
Sent an email today. Hope to hear from you with an invite!
Drop My Comment on Load Conversation History. I was trying a similar app.
Till now I find it working perfectly fine though you need to work more on GUI. I will stay in touch with you over email.
There really needs to be a way to set "offline".
Away isn't enough, and "unlinking" requires that I retype my password when I want to log in again.
Sorry for that.
Added in the MUST BE DONE list.
I live in Canada. We can not get google voice phone numbers. As far as I can tell, we can only use it to place VoIP calles from the web interface to land lines (accessed through the gmail screen). Is there anyway to use this app to make calls in this way without having callback numbers etc.
Saw that the RC is coming out soon. Any idea yet when the emails will be sent out the the beta testers?
I'm Daniel, another developer of jiTalk.
We publish the application 2 days ago, but it has become accesible yesterday. Today we will send the email to our beta testers.
Greetings.
Looking for exact changes done in this version.
