Hi
How can I set the Home screen calendar not to display the "All Day" event?
I know I can do that without the TouchUI GUI.
Anyone?
I don't know
but i have a question to...
how can you set the number of items that are displayed in the calendar? and can i also set the calendar to show a couple of days ahead (so that i can see my appointments for say 2 weeks ahead)
I would love to know this too.
You can turn off TouchFlo 3D (through all settings-personal-today items) and then go to calendar options. But even in its default options from Windows Mobile, there is no such option to set the appoinment settings

for rhodium i downloaded the Touch HD version (because high res.) works nice! it now display's only the missed call's if you have one, and my appointments are show till 2 weeks ahead
Nice...work great on my TP2... i pick the HD.
Good find.. RMU....thanks!
Just messed up my homescreen, not permanently though, just had to uninstall the cab, but it didn't work.
I'm using WM6.5 (Duffy) and have a question I hope to find an answer to...
In one of the tabs there is a simple calendar, which only shows appointments, days or months. In the start menu (start -> applications) there is a different calendar that shows the "old" Outlook style calendar. I prefer to use that one for my business-appointments.
How can I replace the simple calendar on the tab with the one from the start menu? I.e. I do want to use the tabs, but work with the more advanced outlook calendar from there.
Thanks in advance

gHi there,
I just removed the tab, and made a link on the homescreen by remapping the right softkey.
I am pretty much a n00b on hacking WM, how do you do that?
Hi,
How does the Android / HTC Calendar works?
I meant, does it always use Google Calendar?
That's OK, but does it has "birthday" and "anniversary" kind of reminder?
If yes, does it remind you at 00:00 (past midnight) like Windows Mobile?
I hate that on Windows Mobile, why would I want to be reminded of birthday at midnight .... Option like "Remind birthday/anniversary at [XX:YY] the day after" would be better.
I don't know if it always use Google Calendar but about the automatic birthday reminder, there is no notification at all. You'll just see it as an event in the day.
To see birthdays and other contact events, you have to add the corresponding calendar in your google calendar settings.
I hope reminder will be a coming feature cause it's not so difficult as it already exist for other kind of event...
If you forget your better half's birthday or god forbid an anniversary the phone reminding you the next day will be the least of your worries lol!
Bummer, this is quite strange that "reminder" is not there in Android calendar.
Because I think this should be one of "smartphone" core / main feature.

Reminders are there! But google calendar doesn't notify contact's birthday automatically!
If you want, you can register a reminder manually
Log into your Google Calendar, set up an event that re-occurs annually, and set the reminder options. Your device's Android Calendar will automatically sync with your Google Calendar and you will receive reminders in your device's notification bar/window of events along with whatever notification sound you selected.
Also don't forget that Google intend android to be developed in the wild, while most manufacturers are developing they tend to stick with the stuff that is going to sell. Unfortunately that means things like active wallpaper and sence UI. Search the market, loads of good calendar apps!
This sounds interesting. I have Google Calendar Sync automatically sync with my Outlook calendar every couple of hours. So if I understand this right, HTC Calendar will then automatically sync with Google Calendar and there pick up any changes I have made in Outlook on my PC. So I won't have to sync manually between Outlook and my Desire.
Have I understood that right? Sorry, I am new to Android and looking forward to getting my Desire next week.
Thanks Your explanation is very good.
I am trying to avoid Microsoft Office because if I use Google service, I don't have to sync via "cable" to my PC.
With Google Calendar, I can edit the calendar wherever and sync it via internet (3G/Wi-Fi) ... nice!
Now, only if the HTC Calendar has a nice looks and presentation (day view, week view, month view ... LIST VIEW).

The calendar does all that, and yes it does do notifications at whatever time you specify.

Yes that's right. The same would happen if you were to get outlook to sync to google contacts.
To add Birthdays from Google contacts to your Google Calendar.
1. Using a computer go to calendar.google.com
2. Top Right corner, click on settings/calendar settings.
3. Under Calendar settings click Calendars
4. By Other Calendars, click Browse Interesting Calendars
5. Under Interesting Calendars, select More
6. Subscribe to the Contacts' Birthdays and Events calendar.
7. Return to Calendar, your Contacts' Birthdays should now be appearing.
8. On your phone open the calendar app and go to menu/more/refresh
9. Go to menu/more/calendars and make sure the new CBE calendar is checked.
10. Back to Calendar. The birthdays should now be showing.
11. If they do not appear, try menu/refresh.
12. If they still do not appear go to menu/more/calendars/remove and remove the CBE calendar then menu/more/calendars/add and readd the CBE calendar (this is what I had to do).

Try "Calendar Pad", it's in the market and free:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/jp.ne.gate.calpad
Note that it has one little problem on Android 2.1 (editing an all-day event would move it to the next day) but this was probably an Android bug because with 2.2 this no longer happens
Hi im having a problem trying to add a new calendar.
i have done a quick search and not found my answer.
in my calendar i have 3 already there;
gmail
gmail holidays
pc sync
i would like to add a work calendar if possible.
when i go into settings i found an option to add a calendar but when i press it there are no options to add one.
have i completely missed something or something
im running my DHD on leedroid_hd_gb_3.0.3 kernal leedroid-ace-gb-3.1.1
I think the thread title says it all. I added a birthdate in a contact and it doesn't show up in the calendar. But the birthdate of another friend is shown (which is stored in contacts too).
Now I don't know if this date was saved manually by me or did it work once with the calendar?
For this you have to go in the settings of your Google Calendar (on the web), then Calendar tab -> Browser interesting's calendars and subscribe to the Contacts' birthdays and events calendar
This is awesome. I never knew about these. Kinda hard to find. The instructions about KINDA get you there.
Step 1
google.com/Calendar
in the left panel at the bottom - Other Calendars; click little Arrow -> Browse Interesting Calendars
Holidays is the first tab. US Holidays is a good one.
More Tab -> Contacts' Bday and Events = Bingo
Step 2
Then on your PHONE go to Calendar > Menu > Calendars to Display
Click "Calendars to Sync" button
Select which ones to sync from the ones you selected in the first step.
Pretty cool stuff. Learn something every day.
I have Moon Phase, Birthdays, US Holidays.
I have to agree that this not the most intuitive feature
but thanks for the more detailed instructions
Very good tip and instructions. Many thanks.
I didn't even realize this was an option. I gave up on it a long time ago. Thanks for the tips guys.

Most useful post I've read all day.
Thanks!
It is nice, but for some reason, google made it impossible to get a notification for these events. Anyone find a workaround for doing that? All I can think of is to copy each to a new calendar in the web interface - but that is clunky and tedious
