[Q] Calendar--Disappearing Appointments - Captivate Themes and Apps

So noticed something weird with the stock calendar app tied to my work (exchange) calendar. I have a daily meeting every morning and clicked on it to edit it, clicked to edit all instances, didn't actually make any changes, and after I had clicked save, the appointment no longer shows up in the calendar. It's just gone.
I still get the meeting reminder/alerts but it isn't in the calendar. Two other weird things--after clearing the alert sometimes it will show up again for the meeting--so I've gotten 2 and even 3 alerts for the same meeting. (This might be because I clear it, instead of clicking the alert and hitting dismiss in the calendar app). Today I did click the alert and dismissed it from the app. After doing that the appointment showed up again. After going into "edit" (to try to prevent the double alerts), and hitting save, once again, the appt. is gone.
Anyone else seeing this?

I too had this issue with some of my Outlook appointments that i brought down.
I noticed that when I went back to the month (in month view) where the very first instance of a recurring appointment took place, all of the appointments would pop back up and be displayed. Kinda wierd.

I tried entering appointments through the phone and it wont save anything. Hopefully the 2.2 update will fix a lot of exchange issues, since I feel this is a very important piece of the phone.

customize email syncing

hey guys is there anyway to set it up where my phone only downloads my emails during set hours? i'm sick of waking up in the middle of the night cuz i just inherited $5 million dollars from my long lost ancestor in nigeria....
in active sync you can change the time interval and time to connect like 10 til 18.00 rest by hand
hey, sorry but i still dont get it. you mean i should go to activesync on my comp while my phone is connected? i did that and didnt see any settings for limiting the number of hours my phone downloads emails... please clairify. thanks

One thing I do so it doesn't wake me up at night is disable the notifications. I just remember to check my mail during the day. I don't need to get buzz/alarm each time a mail comes in. If you want to try this do the following:
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
From the drop down tab select "Messaging: New e-mail message" and you can set the type of alarm you get. I just disable everything.
If you're using Active Sync to sync you mail (I don't, I use IMAP) you can setup a schedule as the previous post states. Just go to ActiveSync, click on Menu and there's an option for Schedule.
I understand your frustrations with this, but rather than limiting the download, why not limit the notifications. What I found and installed was PhoneWeaver from SBSH.net. This is an automatic profile changer. With this you can specify when and what notifications are set and how loud they are. For me, I have it set to be on vibrate while during work hours, silent at night, and full ring all the rest of the time. For me, this works great.
Hope this helps.
Good suggestions, thanks. I have a 17 year old son that goes out on the weekends and I want to have my phone ring if he needs me. But I have three email accounts and several google notifications that send me a lot of emails. Middle of the night waking up to an email blows.
When I travel, I have been just putting the Kaiser into flight mode, but that doesn't let my wife phone me during an emergency. So, disabling notification before I go to bed in those situations makes a lot of sense.

Various issues with my handset

I have the T-Mobile(UK) version of the Diamond & I am experiencing many issues with it.
I had the Vario II before and never had a problem with it but this is driving me nuts at times.
I love the phone but the issues I am experiencing are spoiling it.
The issues include...
1. When phone has been charging if you turn it on from standby the screen comes up but is frozen. Holding off button does not work, the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. I have also had it freeze with the screen black.
2. The phone vibrates & continues to do so, again only removing the battery will stop it.
3. Ring tone does not start until a short while after a call comes through.
4. Lower part of handset gets extremely hot whilst in use.
5. I have NTL mail set up & it continuously shows 1 unread email message. I have recieved hundreds of emails since and read them all but the 1 unread message logo on home screen & text on bottom of screen in NTL mail remains even if inbox is empty. Didnt want to 'Clear NTL mail' as I want to keep my sent messages etc.
6. Type assist thing is extremely annoying & I dont seem to be able to permanently turn it off! I write something then put a full stop, question mark etc and press enter or space and it puts it at the beginning of the word, not after where it should be.
7. Changed keypad layout but still remains as big QWERTY.
8. Intermittently all my contacts vanish & the numbers in my call history have lost their name tags.
9. Just noticed all my 'Favourite people tags' have disappeared
10. Also the finish is rubbing off the back cover even though I am very carful with it and mainly keep it in my suit pocket. Had my Vario II for 18 months and it still looks like new.
11. Many other issues but cant remember them all at the moment.
I have not altered any of the software and am not very technical so please keep any replies very basic.
I have had the phone about 3 months, how do I go on with returning it under warranty if there is no easy fix?
Thanks

This can be resolved by going to your inbox, then click "inbox" in the top left and goto "Outlook E-mail" where there is a welcome message. Delete that and you should be ok.
Regarding the other problems you might need to upgrade your ROM, theres plenty of info in the Diamond ROM development section on that.
Unfortunately that does not work. The unread message is showing in my NTL world inbox, you go into the inbox and there is nothing there! It even says '1 unread message' along the bottom of the screen even though the inbox is empty
How do you upgrade the ROM? Will it affect the warranty?
Just tried the Clear "NTL World" option in tools as a last resort but its still there!

Inbox says 1 new message, but nothing there?

Okay, yet another problem with this kaiser. This phone is acting worse then a problem child on crack since I reloaded 6 times because of me trying to get the weather in my area. Anyhow, since I gave up trying to fix the weather thing, I now have a message problem. I have deleted all messages from inbox and outbox, etc. But still the phone keeps saying I have one new unread message. I have powered the device off and also used the stylus to reset it from the bottom button, and still have no effect. What is wrong with this thing this time? Has anyone had this problem? I am running the stock HTC firmware with WM 6.1 and Update 23 of M2D Touchflo. Also have Update 20 addons installed to make things work, etc. TomTom, and other msc programs. Don't think they would effect this, since I had this setup before my phone starting to screw up.
Okay, I found the solution. If anyone else needs this then here is the website:
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/fixunreadcount.shtml
Description:
This utility fixes the unread count for every mail folder in every account on the device.
Some users have had problems with Inbox or the Today screen displaying "-1" unread messages, or displaying 1 or more unread messages when, in fact, there are none. This utility will detect and repair these discrepencies.
It's not flashy, but it does the job
Just power off device and restart it and it should be gone.

Anyone else having calendar issues?

Today my calendar has gone crazy... I only see SINGLE events WITH a reminder. I don't see it if there's no reminder, nor do I see it if it's recurring at all!
If I set a meeting that's recurring to not recurr, it'll show! And it doesn't seem to be a syncing issue, as I can create a local calendar entry and it behaves the same way.
I've tried nuking my local calendar and re-syncing it from Google, it did, but same problems.
Anyone else seen this?? It's driving me insane.
Okay, so still no idea what the hell is going on, but I've found if I disable network time AND go in and select Eastern Time (although it was already Eastern) THEN all of my recurring meetings show back up.
I don't know if this is possibly some limitation in the Android calendar or intentional since it's very consistent, but my suspicion is that maybe AT&T is sending out dumb data for the clock today?
BTW, I've also noticed that with automatic time turned on when I look at an event, it specifically says it's in the "Eastern Standard Time" but if I disable automatic time and set it per the above, I see no timezone notices in my events.
I'm disabling network time for now, I'll revisit it later, surely this is something intended or maybe I'm hitting a bug... I just can't imagine the logic of hiding recurring events if in a different timezone, assuming this is what's going on with AT&T today.
Hard to believe nobody else has had this problem.. Maybe I have a bad entry in my calendar. Perhaps someday I'll nuke my Work calendar, or perhaps rename it and create a new one, and manually create the new entries and see if the problem goes away..

Email jumps to the bottom when refreshed - Rooted/stock 4.4.2

So I've had this bug for a while now, I've tried all I can think of to fix it. There doesn't seem to be an option for anything like this.
Every time I refresh any of my email accounts, from the E-Mail app, my entire inbox jumps to the very bottom (oldest) email. I then have to scroll all the way back up to see my newest unread email in the inbox.
It's not a sorting issue because the actual cursor on the right jumps down to the bottom as well. Any ideas?

I don't use the stock email app but there's probably a setting somewhere for "autoadvance" maybe try changing that to newest?
Like I said in the original post, there are no settings in the email app for that kind of thing. The only thing that comes close to that category is "Sort by" but like I said it's not a sorting issue. If it were a sorting issue my cursor would stay at the top and I would see the oldest emails first, the end of the alphabet first, etc. Instead the cursor is jumping to the very bottom of my email list instead of refreshing and staying at the top where the new emails are.
In regards to autoadvance, that is just a way to tell it what you want to see after you delete an email from the full screen message vs deleting it in list view.
