Why don't phone numbers show up as shortcuts in Calendar - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I'm running the latest raphael rom, but I've noticed this problem with all of the roms I've used for the windows PDA's. When I was using my cingular 3125 smartphone, i was able to click on the phone numbers in my calendar items and initiate a call directly from my calendar.
I was wondering if anyone has a solution for why the phone numbers listed in calendar items do not show up as shortcuts that will allow me pull the phone directly from the calendar.
thanks in advance!

Date / Contacts

I'm trying to do 2 things on my new Tytn II and I'm wondering if anyone knows how.
First, and mostly simple, I want to somehow enable the date to show on the top bar of all screens, sort of how you can enable the clock to show on all applications. Any ideas?
Also, I manage all of my contacts through Goodlink so that it is sync'd with work. However, this prevents me from using certain features that are in the device. For example, you can't set a voice dial to a contact in Good unless it's in the Outlook mobile client that comes with the device. Is there any way to automatically sync all Good contacts with the Outlook client so the two are always up to date?
Thanks!
For the first issue, click on the clock, then on the "more" tab, there is only 1 option in this window, which does what you want

HTC Home plug-in/Contact question

I have installed HTC home plug-in on my AT&T Tilt. Did the exchange sync. as all my contacts are in Exchange server. On the contact tab, I added my fav. contact.
When I tried to call any of the contact from my Contact/fav. tab, it is always dialing their Mobile no. All the contacts have mobile no., home no. and business no. For some of the contacts. I want to dial their home no. FIRST.
How do I change the order of field in contacts? I already tried in Outlook 2007, in business card view it let you change the order of field but it's only for the view. It doesn't do any thing after syncing with Tilt.
Any one has idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!!
if you are talking about the favorite people tab on the home screen, when you allocate the person, and you have a few telephone numbers, it will let you select one number to be used as shortcut.

You need to install the latest version of HTC home, the one with 6 tabs: Home, favorites, weather, programs, telephone ring type and music tabs. Then it will prompt you to pick the number of your choice when you add people to your favorite buttons. Previous versions did not allow this.
Yes, I have the latest HTC home plug-in installed with 6 tabs.
Ver. is HTC Home v.2.0.814.722.
I installed HTC home plug-in from here http://www.pocketemu.com/downloads5.html, then installed the HTC Home customizer from pocketemu.com.

Sony ericsson panel 1- PLEASE HELP!

I have just bought this phone and used google sync to sync my google calendar with my phone calendar.
Im using the sony erricson panel 1 because i want a panel which displays the numbers of messages in each of my email inboxes seperately and also displays events in my calendar.
what i would like to do is change the number of events it displays or rather, make it display all calendar items in the next month.
How can i get it to do this/ has anyone hacked it/ can tell me how to? or is there an alternative panel that will do this along with displaying my emails seperately?

[Q] HD7 & Windows Live Calendar

Wondering if anyone can help!
Synced my outlook calendar across to the windows live one so that it would show up on handset which it does.
I decided to import some old calendar entries from up to two years ago into my windows live calendar which show up OK on my PC windows live calendar but they have never synced over to my HD7 windows live calendar.
Becoming a bit of a mystery as all my new appointments sync over OK to mobile.
There may be a setting to limit how far back to sync. There is for email.
I’m not syncing a calendar so can't check for you but go into your phone's Windows Live settings.
Well, I have gone into Windows Live settings on mobile and there is an option for email which I have now changed from 1 month to anytime so now all my hotmail emails have synced all the way back in time to my handset.
There seems to be no option for calendar entries so we seem to have no control over this, I hope I am wrong though. Anyway my old calendar entries still have not synced over to mobile which is a pity.
Check Windows Live to see if there's a setting there.
Checked Windows Live, still nothing there settings wise.
Same Problem
I sync my 780 contacts on the live cloud. Then tried to sync with HD7 and it didnt work.
Then went and did a complete reset of my phone. After that with the first sync got all my contacts on HD7 super fast.
Then made some changes on the phone and wanted to check if they update on the live cloud and now phone says it cannot sync and gives error 8000618.
Has anyone facing sync issues?
Not had any syncing problems as such and all my contacts came over to the phone OK.
I reckon the old calendar entries do not sync with the phone apart from reoccuring ones and this is just the way windows phone 7 does things as all the old calendar entries are listed on my live calendar on the internet OK.
Hopefully this might be addressed in an update soon.
Is urs a unlocked from 02 also? u think the unlock is a problem?
It is from O2 but is not unlocked. I did get the unlock code from O2 but have not used it yet, may do in the future.
I do not think it is a handset problem, I reckon it is software ie. WP7
Has anyone else managed to get all past appointments synced to HD7 handset from Windows Live Calendar?
yes you can get past appointments also.
just copy paste all your calendar events into live calendar.
it worked with me

Thanks, Rick
Having the same fight as everyone with this stupid non-syncing of Outlook that Microsoft has decided for us. Found a couple of issues that can be worked around.
Clash 1: some items not appearing in Live calendar or on phone.
Fix: Entries were repeat entries set up a long time ago. Reset entries to start today and sync'd ok (so far)
Clash 2: custom catagories caused sync errors.
Fix: Clicking 'Upgrade to Color Catagories...' in the Live account properties (in Outlook) fixed this for most entries.
Still working my way through my calendar so I'll update if I find anything else.

update from my post above...
I've given up again... syncing my windows phone shouldn't be this difficult. Also noticed that Live doesn't fully sync your contacts either whereas Google contacts does... so trying Google calendar next.
Syncing ok with CompanionLink 4, but 1 strange anomaly...
1. I can delete calendar entries on the phone that syncs with google and hence outlook but...
2. if I add an entry on the phone, it doesn't replicate in the google calendar.
The last time I had to faf like this to get calendar sync'ing set up was with a Palm V... I'd thought we'd moved on by now
Can anyone help please?

Synchronisation issues with Galaxy S (2.2)

I have some synch issues (with KIES) for which I hope to find a solution here.
Issue 1:
I store the mobile number of several of my contacts in this syntax (in Outlook 2010):
*31#+312012345678
After synching the number is displayed in the Galaxy S as:
*31#312012345678
(note the + symbol is missing, the phone can't dial this number).
The reason that I store these numbers in this way is:
- I don't send out my callerID by default.
- For some contacts I do wish to send out my callerID, the prefix *31# does that.
Issue 2:
For most of my contacts I have a birthday listed in Outlook 2010. The birthday is automatically added to Outlook's Calendar.
When synchronising my Calendar & Contacts, the Galaxy S also detects the birthday and does the same thing, it adds a birthday to the calendar. However it doesn't use the same format as Outlook. Also it doesn't check if the birthday is already present in the calendar). So everybirthday is added to my calendar twice. Very annoying.
Does anyone know how I can resolve both issues?
Now I have to keep deleting double birthdays and editing contacts after a synchronisation.
I don't want to use a sync via Gmail, or anything. I want to sync directly between Outlook 2010 and my phone (via USB).
Anyone with a suggestion?
I notice inconsistencies between Outlook and my phone when I use Kies to synch...
I switched to using MyPhoneExplorer for synch, and only use Kies to check on firmware upgrades from time to time.
The calendar items (even birthdays and recurring meetings) now seem to be correctly synchronized... Kies used to somehow give me multiple listings of some calendar items and certain phone #s...
I think this was originally a Symbian product but the android version is on the Market, and you can grab the PC client on their website.
Thanks, however this tools does:
*31#+31<number>
into
*31#0031<number>
Something I don't want. I don't want the + to be replaced with 00.
Also the birthday issue still exists.
Any other suggestions?
Stop using kies. its a piece of ****
