[Q] Avoid birthdays from contact in calendar? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I struggle a bit with the sync (Kies) the calendar, contacts and birthdays. I guess I've managed nearly everything in the meantime, but the birthdays are still a problem. Since I have dates for them (since years) in outlook, every date comes from there. But the calender itself creates dates also, which means, I have them twice in my calender.
Any change to stop the calendar from making dates out of it?
Thanks a lot!

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"

Calendar sync issues

Hi I just received my galaxy, so possible a NOOB problem.
The problem is that I have a google calendar, and on my phone it sees both the appointments I have done on the phone and the google appointments - so this is fine.
If I make a appointment via a computer at the net on the google calendar, then it will show up on the phone calendar - this is fine.
BUT if I make an appointment on the phone - it will not show up on the google calendar on the net.
It seems like the phone uses "My Calendar" which is not synced with the google calendar - so have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you did the calender mark did you choose google calender and not the phone calender?? take a close look so u have choose that before apply the appointment/mark in the cal. when you set the day/clock under that you can choose what calender to use....I missed that too...
Ok thanks - found the setting.
Is it possible to change the behaviour, so that when you make an appointment on the phone it is by default using the google calendar and not the phone calendar?
I dont think you can set it as default..not sure. With some app maybe? I just have my Galaxy for 4 days so everything is new
Thanks, compared to me you are very experienced (had mine for 1 day)
I would also be interested in a way to change the default.
Additionally I'd like to have the automatically created birthday events appear in one of my Google calendars, not in the phone calendar. Has anybody an idea on how to do that?
It says "with Google" on the phone, if I'm selling my soul to Google, at least I'd like to do it completely and thoroughly.
I'm syncing with my Yahoo Calendars, my 2 Gmail account Calendars
also contact from those 3 accounts too, and IM from MSN, google, yahoo, tweeter, facebook
this phone is Amazing! at keeping everything in sync
just make sure on the account page your accounts are all with the Green sync circle

calendar birthdays..?

I was wondering if there was something I can download or do which will automatically set the upcoming birthdays on my calendar.... My old phone did this.. Even without me automatically inputting it... It basically used the Facebook and had the birthdays appear on the mobile phone's main calendar... Hoping that there is something similar for that..
Google Calendar can be used for this but you would have to add all the birthdays into your contacts in google mail, then subscribe to "Contact's birthdays and events" under "browse interesting Calendars" which can be found under the "add" menu at the bottom left of the page when in google calendar.
Hope this helps
That's not really relevent to WP7 though...
@ProjektFuze Funny you should mention it though i was thinking the same thing yesterday. Hopefully it will be an available feature in the next update.
You can sync Google calendar with wp7, so what ever you add on your pc will show up on phone.
That may be true, but they still won't show in in the WP7 calendar and you'd still have to manually create an appointment or something. As i said, hopefully the update due early next year will provide this much needed feature.
Birthdays are showing in my calendar on HTC hd7.
Will post my settings when I get home.
If you have your contacts in outllook with birthdays set, then you need to export your outlook calendar (csv file) and import it into google calendar.
Birthdays will now show in wp7 calendar.
If you dont have all your facebook contacts in outlook then you could try this -
There’s an app called “Export Friends” that will save you friends names, city, birthday and their current location in a CSV (text) file that you then import into Excel, Gmail or any other web email program.

You might need to import it into outlook first, then export the outlook calendar into google calendar.

Birthday Reminder automatic with contacts

I haven´t been able to find or to make it work for that matter, I wish that my contacts when I include the birthday, would automatically set a reminder in the calendar, so that when the birthday comes I get notified. I have over 500 contacts, and at least 100 with a birthday date added to it, and no reminder is set in my calendar.
I don't synchronize my phone calendar to any other calendar, because I don´t use my computer at home that much, and the one at work gets audited every other week, and people at work are very peculiar when it comes to personal matters.
I would just like to add the contact, and when including a birthday or anniversary, it would automatically be in my calendar, just like Blackberry did or does.
Any help, would be appreciated,
Thanks.
Store your contacts as google contacts not on the phone or on the sim and it should work
