Birthdays to Calendar

Hi dear developers,
Do you know if its possible to make pOutlook contacts that have birthdays filled to have it assingned as an all day event in Calendar ???
Unfortunally i have to Sync my Calendar/Tasks with work PC outlook and Contacts with my Home PC outlook so i guess i could not use the sync trick to do this.
I have a terrible memory for birthdays (once i have forget mine ) and i could not use that great birthday today plugin with TF3D...
Is it possible to do it programmatically?
Thanks for the help.

Well I sync my Diamond with Outlook and I don`t have any problem with that ... all birthday`s are displayed as all day events on Diamond

All my birthdays are displayed as all day events as well...! Only annoying thing is, every time Outlook adds an alarm reminder to the newly added birthdays. When I forget to delete them, I will be remindered 15 minutes before midnight... I already cleared the Default Reminder option.

Has everybody a solutuoin for this problem? I have the same problem as CreativeBR. When i sync my outlook calendar with active sync, i have no birthdays.

you must sync the contacts
hi biersoeldner,
in order to get the all day events synced to your phone (via activesync) you have to sync your contacts and not only the calendar. the birthdays are coming out of the contact entries and are only displayed in your outlook.

I have synced (in activesync) the contacts and the calendar. Now i have checked the details of the contacts and there are no birthdays.
Some birthdays I have written direct in the calendra an they also not in my xda. I use Outlook 2007 an HTC ROM-Version: 1.93.407.1 GER.
Currently I have checkt birthday, which were in the near future and lock they are there. I belive I shoud check the differenz between this persons!
thx for the answer!

I put birthdays into the calendar as standard all-days events, repeating on the same day every year (and set an alarm of 5 days out to remember to buy that card/present!). You don't touch the contact entries then. Will happily sync between PC outlook and mobile outlook then.

I had found a workaround for my problem, if i delete the series of appointments and i create it again, than is the appointment on the pda calendra. Could someone explain me this?

None of this could help me because i need to sync Calendar/Tasks with the work outlook and it has so many business contacts (that i dont want in my personal mobile).
Thats why i cant send my personal contact birthdays to outlook and receive the all day events via calendar.
That free birthday today plugin fits nicely to what i need but i cant have it running with TF3D.
Maybe SecondToday app could help me... But run it just for one today plugin 8(

since someone mentioned birthday problems in calendar...
does anyone of you have the problem when synchronizing the device...
birthdays are synced, they r showed in the device, but they will disappear in outlook... but if you do a search it's there, it just won't show up in the calendar view...
i currently need to re-enter my contacts b-day to make it visible again in outlook...
anyone having the same problem too???

The only way I've ever been able to reliably add birthdays is add a new recurring event, starting on the year of birth. Then each subsequent event has a number in brackets indicating the age that year.
Contacts, plug-ins, any other way just didn't seem to work for me.

well...
My pc sync very well with pda all contacts and birthdays... but, the problem is that birthday, doesn't show in tf3d! What can I do? there is any tweak for this problem?

Birthday reminder on HTC Diamond

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how you use the agenda birthday reminder with HTC Diamond ? I've just bought the phone and sync it with mail2web (outlook exchange service on Internet). The phone is not reminding me birthdays which is annoying me...
Before, I was using TYNT II with Spb Diary plugin which was great ! It was showing the coming birthdays and also ringing the D-day.
I read that other Diamond users had also this kind of issue. To solve it they manage birthday's on Outlook contact (on their computer) to generate entire day event and then sync it with their phone.
Do you know another way to get this reminder work ?
Thank you

i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... HOW CAN i USE BIRTH REMINDER ON TOUCH FLO.
ANY BODY KNOW???
LEO

It seems that no one else has this kind of problem....

i do, but i haven't any solutions for this ****ty bug

Finally I've manually created reminders in the calendar...

I have all the birthday in the Outlook (like meeting)
and all ok after sync the Phone with the Outlook (to outlook exchange server at work via the Internet)
Just open the Outlook and add new Item in the Calender , cycle it evey year as u add the item (Press on the Recurrence button), that all ...

I have added birthdays to my contacts in outlook. Is there away to make those show up on the today screen? its kinda odd the calender is only for meetings or perhaps i am missing something here.
I assume i could add birthdays by hand in outlook but that kinda defeats the idea when you can have it all in the contact info.
Regards

I use Birthdays 1.2.10, so I don't need to touch the calendar.

I know Birthdays 1.2.10 but this programm don't work with manila3d
becaus all today pugins don't work with manila3d

The funniest thing
In also seem to have a birthday related problem.
I bought my diamond several months ago and synced it with my compu (outlook 2007). I just yet noticed it didn't sync all my birthday info. (The info is in he contacts, the birthdays just aren't coming up in my calender, neither on my compu nor on my phone ).
Is there a way to 'update' the calender in such way all birthdays come back to my calender?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
If you enter the birthday in outlook contacts, normally a all day event will be created in outlook. please check if this is ok. finally i have turn off the reminders for this events, because the alarm will go on at 11.45 pm by default. This all day events appears on my home sreen in TF3D.

maybe U can to use a software like mToday and to have 2 Today profiles ... one with manila and other with regular WinMo plugins

I think you need to synchronise it with outlook on your pc for it to take effect. Outlook on the phone isn't smart enough to figure it out by itself apparently, but I've just synched it with my pc, it's showing up in the calendar in outlook and in the calendar on the phone.

Is it possible that there is no any simple WM application to check contacts evey day for birthdays.
Pocket PC should be smarter than some "smartphones"

Diamond2 changing my birthdays and holidays

Has anyone else seen this, when i look on the phone calendar all the birthdays and bank holidays have been brought forward a day. Xmas day now the 24th Boxing day the 25th. I'm now scared to use activesync in case it then changes everything in outlook.

My guess is that this has to do with different time-zones. In march several appointments shifted one hour on my old device. Damn you MS!
If you're scared about your PC Outlook, back your database up before connecting the D2. It's a .pst file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

This problem ?

All my birthdays and holliday in the contacts of my diamond 2 are shown a day to early aswell. In Exchange my weddingday is 26 september 2007 but in my phone it says 25 september 2007. This happens with all birthdays and holidays. Hope someone find a fix soon. Date and time settings on my phone are the same as my exchange 2007. And outlook 2007 displays them correct aswell.

I don't think it is a D2 issue because I used to get that problem on my cruise. I decided it was something to do with syncing the data with either google calendar or activesync.

i think that is has to do with regionals settings.My topaz did the same and i changed the regional settings and the time zone,deleted the pim file and i syncronized again.The problem solved.

How to delete the PIM file? Or should I just setup exchange active sync all over again?

All i did to fix this was delete my activesync settings on the phone. Make sure all the birthdays and holidays were correct in outlook. Some were, some had been changed then re-enterd my server details details. Its been OK since.

Reconfigured active sync and all seems well now. Thanks.

as i use an exchange account just like psa.verstraten.
I wonder if its to do with touchflow, i always turn it off, but my problems seemed to happen after having a play with it the other day. The problems were still there tho after i'd turned it back off.

Outlook syncing calendar

For the last few months I have been unable to send text, but I could recieve texts. This seems to have resolved itself after I synced with Windows 7/Office 2010 beta on second machine. After I sync now with Outlook 2007 on my main XP machine texting is still working.
Not sure that was what cured the problem. Because at about the same time I created a new contact on the phone and noticed texting had become available. Whichever changed things I can now text any of my contacts.
But an ongoing problem is syncing the calendar. If I create an appointment on the device it syncs to outlook 2007. However if I create the appointment on the pc it does not sync to the phone. It has worked previously
Any advice would be sincerely welcomed

try deliting the partnership in activesync on your phone and both pc's and do a new "first time" sync, maybe that will help

Same?
i have the same problem! but with my father's phone (HTC Blackstone (HD)) as well as mine (HTC TYTN II). deleting the partnership does nothing! i found i have to link up my phone via the activesync cable , but this is a problem when im in a rush or something and i have to turn on the computer...
we both have wm 6.1 running on our devices maybe thats it?

Calendar issue

Anyone seeing their HD7 Calendar refuse to show normal, non-recurring appts even though they are showing in Windows Live and in Outlook via the connector? 1 day old HD7 is not syncing all my info. Thanks.

All my old non recurring dissappear after about 1 month from the HD7 calendar even although they are all still listed in Outlook/Windows Live calendar.
Hoping this will be fixed in January update.
