Anyone able to dail from their calendar from WM6? I am on a Tilt running WM6 with Mobile Office 6.1 but it is not working for me ....
should be:
tel:xxxxxxxxxx
in the notes of any calendar item but not for me....
here is the Microsoft URL .....
http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2430713&SiteID=65&mode=1
figured it out.. think I have found a bug ... i was initially using my PC updating my calendar item in the notes and then letting MS AS sync the change to the phone ... never got that to work ... but if i just add the number to the notes on my PC then Sync to the phone ...then go into the phone and add tel: to the front of the number as well as a space after the number - it works!
Is there a way to do this without having to edit the appointment on the phone?
is there a registry tweak or CAB file that will automatically recognize phone numbers and emails in the calendar?
Also, I noticed it is not possible to this in the subject line, only the notes.
I don't understand why this is automatically done in WM 6 standard on my Moto Q and not in WM 6 pro on my Kaiser. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using this ROM: Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid UC RTM at the moment but I have a problem with the contact list, I delete all the contacts on there already (the default contacts you get when you buy a new simcard like Directories, Show Balance, Voicemail etc.) and add my contacts on there, when I turn it off and switch it back on the list goes back to the default list again... How do I fix this?
I've just upgraded rom2 to rom 3 last nite but one minor problem.
Before when the X1 (o2 UK) was on Rom 1 and Rom 2, I could access my Hotmail directly on my phone but since I upgraded to Rom 3, it automatically opens up Opera or IE and goes to Windows Live thing?
I want it like it before where I can download all the new email msgs on my phone as oppose to going online via Opera etc.
Any help?
there was nno difference for me,
updated to R3A and setup hotmail account as normal via settings menu.
just like before

not the case for me.
Every time I set up a new email, it automatically opens up mobile.live via opera. anyway round this?
Hmm, I just tried to create a test account, if you set something with a hotmail.com address and let it setup automatically it launches Opera.
had the same problem. found this on another thread:

it worked for me, big thanks to kanthai. hope it works for you
Hi,
I've allready posted my concern a couple of times in the |B|6.5.1|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Leo" 23081/21864 | Oct 28 | ★ Manila 2.5 ★ thread, but nobody is willing or is not able to give me a concrete answer.
In the following quoted message I've described my concern:
giniman said:
With all manila 2.5 versions I've tried so far, the fb contact pictrures are stored under \Windows\FBContacts and will not set as wm contact pictures. All fb pictures and birthdays are shown in manila, not in wm contacts though.
So if you select show more contact informations on manila contact, you will be redirected to the wm contact manager and there are no photos and no birthdays set. That's the reason why the caller ID is not working and also all these informations are not synchronized with outlook
This is really sad, because on manila 2.1 everything was working as expected and this feature is sooooo sweet
So I think this is definitiv a manila 2.5 bug, or a htc feature...lol
Hopefully someone is able to fix that.

I would like to know if this is only a bug in all the ported manila 2.5 roms, or does the original leo manila version has the same strange behaviour?
I can't imagine that htc would remove that great feature...
If anybody could give me a concrete answer to that issue, that would be great
I really like the look an feel of the new manila 2.5, but without that working feature I need to flash back a rom with manila 2.1.
Thx in advance

I've got the same problem/issue as you.
I try to live with it, but every ROM I'm hoping this issue to be resolved... It's the only thing that I still need for 'the perfect ROM'.
I'am missing that, too.
Maybe the quality of the FB pictures is too bad???
I have the same Problem.
try this for photos: http://www.booksync.co.uk/
"This is an application for Windows Mobile phones that will allow you to synchronise the pictures of the contacts in your phone with profile pictures of your friends on Facebook.
Because phone book contacts may not match with peoples real names on Facebook you first match the contacts. This matching is then stored for future synchronising."

Thx for that tip, I already know that app and I used to use it before manila 2.1
What I mean is that manila 2.5 implements the feature of automatic downloading the fb contact pictures and birthdays, they are not stored in the native wm contact library though. Manila itself is able to show these pictures and birthday events, but wm is not!!
The real strange thing is that with manila 2.1 everything was working correct
Is there any great xda chef out there who is able to fix that?? Or maybe we should ask this question in the Leo section to get the info if this is a general manila 2.5, or only a porting bug.
greetz giniman
I agree this is very strange, why on earth would they not store the information in the native contact? They mus thave implemented their own contact database in addition to the native one, very odd! There is almost no point of facebook integration if you can't sync birthday information and see the photo when they call etc..

That's exactly what I'm talking about
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who is missing this feature...
greetz giniman
Glad there's a dedicated thread for this! Its was one of the features that most impressed me when I flashed my first dutty 6.1 ROM, and in fact, got me returning to the same ROM after subsequent 6.5 ROMs lost the feature. I'm currently on Dutty's holy grail 6.5 with manila 2.1, and this only syncs the photo, but not the contact. I tried the 2.5 version and that didn't sync either.
It'd be great to get to the bottom of this but alas I have no programming skills whatsoever so can't be of much help!
all birthdays shifted 1 day
I've got another strange issue with birthdays:
I noticed this at the first 6.5 rom I flashed (dutty's R6) - ALL birthdays are shown 1 day shifted after syncing from exchange! When I correct some and sync again - nothing happens with the 'original' contact @ exchange, where the birthday always was correct.
E.g.: My contact card in manila shows my birthday as the 8th february, though my birthday is on the 9th - also the exchange contact states the 9th feb.
When I now correct my birthday on my phone and sync with exchange, nothing happens to the exchange contact birthday, but the phone-contact-birthday stays correct. But when I hard-reset my phone and sync again - guess what: all birthdays shifted again... So WTF?
When I sync a contact with FB it shows the correct date in addition - so 2 birthdays are shown....
Am I alone with this?
[edit]
I'm on duttys holy grale R0 manila 2.5 right now
OK I did some more testing, here is what I found using Miri's 12.0 ROM. Obviously with different ROMs you may have different results.
- Birthdays downloaded do go into WM contacts, and then are sync'ed via Activesync (hooray!)
- Photos do not, but can be selected manually using WM contacts and then sync - normally this appeared in outlook, but not always. But borwsing to the Windows\FBContacts folder is very slow, 2 minutes to select each photo, since it displays a preview of all the folders. It would be nice if you could turn that off, or choose another folder to save contacts in (e.g. outside Windows). Pictures also look good both on the people screen and in outlook contacts and when calling.
- When you select a facebook contact to associate with, you have to wait for it to show the photo otherwise it never downloads it and you have to re-associate
- Also, I tried creating a shortcut to FBcontacts folder to make selecting a picture quicker, but that doesn't work
- If you let it show all photos of everyone when associating an account, it will download all photos into FBContacts whether you associate the acount or not. You could then therefore copy the folder somewhere else, and then manually assign each picture to each Windows contact. I put it in DCIM\100MEDIA as this makes it quickes when adding to a contact.

Dutty's R7 did work - his newest "holy grail" doesn't.
try this: contact (htc app) -> edit (one of your FB contacts) -> tick the picture! (upper right corner)
for me the FB option is grayed out, strangely enough...although the account is associated????
HTC do not comply with Windows Mobile standard. With each upgraded version of its Manila the situation will get worse I think.

I noticed this also and I'm on XannyTech's 2.0c with Manila 2.5 - I wonder why all birthdays are all shifted by 1 day??
Any resolution?
Manila 2.5 has completely screwed my birthdays up. I'm using google calendar through the google-sync exchange thing. Every so often I get a message on the phone saying "A change on the server means all data needs to be re-synchronised". After that the birthdays get shifted by a day. It's happened a few times which means people have birthdays spanning 4 or 5 days now. Last time it happened about 20-30 birthdays and anniversary appointments appeared in my google calendar for today's date. No idea what is going on, but it's definitely shafted.

I think the only satisfactory answer will be for someone with official WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 (any HD2 owner? ) to try it out and report the outcome.

I'll post this evening a thread in the Leo section. Hopefully someone is able to tell me if this strange behaviour also occurs on official Leo WM6.5 Manila 2.5 roms.
With NRGZ manila 2.5 roms all my birthdays where also messed up. So I switched to XannyTech rom 1.9b/2.0b and everything was fine. As far as I figured out the shifting problem with the birthday events, it seems that this behaviour has something to do with the timezone, which has not to be set on first boot on NRGZ roms.

Are you running a manila 2.5 rom on your TD2??
greetz giniman
I don't know why windows mobile is doing this. When I go to setup my work email on my phone, I have all my settings right but for some reason it will not save the right password as my email logon. I type in my password and hit save password and go through the rest of the steps. But for some reason when I finish doing the setup and hit send and receive there is a sync error. I go back into my account settings and go through everything and everything is good except for my password. It changes automatically and there is way to many characters added onto it. I then tried to change my account settings using Manila 2.5 and everything I change through touchflo does not change. I had my email working before but as soon as I go to edit my account settings and type in my information for my user name and password, the password changes automatically and adds a bunch of characters. Anybody have this issue? and btw, I'm running the 28008 Dec. 2nd Energy ROM with Sense 2.5. I need my email to work. HELP!
