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! )

It used to, now it only shows appointments that are today. I have checked all the settings I could and it seems to only want to show the current day.
Any ideas?
I tried uninstalling and removing all registry keys for it, but that was a no go.
Help.
Are you talking about the Now Screen? If so, did you go to Spb Shell settings, click on the Now Screen tab, and then the configure button? You can set how far out one can display appointments.

That only changes how much calendar is shown.. I am trying to get the now screen to show like the next 3 appointments ALWAYS.
Could it be a calendar registry problem? It looks as if my default calendar is the same after some experiments.
Sorry, I'm not aware of a setting like that for Spb Shell. Do you want ONLY three appointments, or AT LEAST 3 appointments always? Would the auto setting do that?
I would like more than just the next one.
Example..
I have 1 thing on there to do today, but 2 tomorrow. SO, it should show those 3 I would think. It seems like it used to.
I have mine set to auto, and it shows the next three events/appointments, or what ever it can fit on the screen I guess.
it won't show all day events though... just to clarify for you.
so if you're appointments are all day I don't think they'll be shown.
hope this sort of helps you.
also - have you changed any of the layouts (using qa_layouts, xml files, etc?) if you've been tinkering with those, you may lose the calendar opperability.

I think so!
I'm an old palm user and especially loved the advance function in datebk6. I could set and advance on an appointment and then it showed that appointment everyday with a little countdown next to it showing how many days to got till the appointment. Is there a similar function on ppc (I have agenda one and spbdiary). Don't get me wrong, I don't want an alarm in advance, I only want the important events to show in advance with a countdown timer.
Thanks for your input
The problem was an upcoming appointment with a "-" or "/" in it. After removal, all works fine. Odd.

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.
never thought of that
i did some more searching and found this thought i would post it works great

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.
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.
Hello,
Anyone know if its possible to change the number of calender entry's shown at the home screen. I would like to see something like next 4-5 upcoming appointments instead of just 1 or 2.
Can this be tweaked in registry? or..
Hope someone have a good solution
best regards
Anders Jensen
Hi
Mine displays the whole day worth. Settings are in
Start-->Settings-->Today-->Items-->Calendar-->Options
and select upcoming appointments instead of next. this then shows the Whole day worth of appointments. after the last appointment has passed then tomorrows appt's are shown as well.
Cheers John

Looks great. Does it support the lock screen?
Good thing? ?
Is it possible to have smaller pictures, or choice to select picture size in the future Or have 4x4, 4x2, etc. ?
I like to see more favorite contacts at once on home screen.

I'll see what i can do with the smaller pictures.
Lock screen mode is enabled also
Good widget:good:
Awesome widget! The only thing I wish it had is an option to force a confirmation pop-up window when clicking on a contact. or something like that. I find myself calling people by accident when I put the phone back in my pocket.
Cheers!
I don't know if this is possible with future updates but I figured I'd throw it out there:
It would be cool if this app could somehow pull data from Calendars or Facebook and let you know "its so-and-so's birthday today" as a reminder for you to call them.

Frank hi.
I doubt that that facebook option will possible since it require network access.
that widget require phone book and call log access that along are Invasive permissions with network access that even worse.
after saying that if the community will ask for that I will check what I can do.
Hi first of all, thank you... Looks good... can you please awnser if it works on locksreen?
