The reminder for the Tasks on my XDA IIs is pretty useless as you can only set the day you want the reminder to happen, not the hour making it a pointless tool if I want to add a task which must be completed later the same day.
Is there any way of changing this or am I stuck with adding tasks into the Calendar to get an accurate reminder time?
Change the default reminder time using your PCs outlook. This will become the default reminder time on the PPC.
OR Use Pocket Informant.

Hey y'all,
Heres the thing.
I have set my TMobile Vario 5 to check email every hour.
Its configured to vibrate when new email/texts arrive.
Thats all fine and dandy, EXCEPT! when im snoozing away in my bed and it starts vibrating on new email in the middle of the night and I wake up and cant go back to sleep. Such a silly nag!
So, for the while I have turned off vibrate for email altogether.
I notice on the Windows live client email sync schedule, you can totally just turn off checking at off-peak hours, while giving it a different schedule for peak hours! Nifty! But that only works for one hotmail/live account, and the next accounts you want to sync are configured against native WinMo email client.
Is there somehow a hack/app etc, whereby I can schedule WinMo native email client to sync only working hours for accounts as gmail/hotmail etc. In the sync schedule theres only options every x mins/hours and no peak/offpeak schedule.
All this cuz I'd want it to vibrate in my pocket on silent in the day on new email, and totally not bother me at night
Any body?
and Thanks in advance!
You're not using pushmail?
Can't you put the phone on silent?

Well excuse if this sounds sooper noob, but pushmail?
I have my work email synced via Exchange and its got a peak/off peak schedule.
As for the silent, that seems very logical only if I didnt want the alarm vibrate to wake me up in the morning!!
I'd also appreciate a solution to this. Not just for nightime, but, for example, if I'm driving and using as mp3 player and I don't want signal interference noise all the time cos checking emails. Or if I just don't want to be bothered.
Is there any way to temporarily suspend the email schedule (without having to go and change all the settings for each email account)?
Ditto!
There should be a sooper nifty single click way of turning off all auto email syncs and then turn on the same way!
Pushmail? As in in the communication tab "Microsoft Direct Push", I have it on all the time and when a new mail is received it is "pushed" to the phone. The phone isn't really searching for mail (which would be "pull").
I usually switch off the sound of my mobile during night because I don't want to be woken by phonecalls / text messages. I use G-Alarm as an alarm which overrides the silent profile of the phone.
You can schedule it through activesync.
start - all programs - activesync - menu - schedule - off peak times - adjust peak times
I just select my peak times to be be 7 days per week from 8am - 10pm.
Then for off peak I select manual. No more emails in the middle of the night!
I have gone to the menus, but everything is greyed out except for Status....any ideas as to why I cannot get to the Schedule tab?
OK - I have disconnected the phone from the USB connection and now just "Schedule" is grey!
You beat me to it!

Emailscheduler: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970
Emailscheduler looks a nice app, but I just need a simple on/off for the scheduling and I don't think this does that. Also I got about 4 errors/restart demands in about 5 minutes, so I've removed it.
there is software from SPB Software, with help of WHAT you can set your SOUND preferences during day or depends on events, e.g. you can set to go in SILENT(or other melody/vibro) from 22.00 to 6.00 and he will do it automatically, and return back LOUD after 6.00 of morning.

Thanks!
Though EmailScheduler is currently a beta and some posts about it needing restarts errors..
But hey, might just be EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
Thanks so much!
it is really annoying as i am using exchange syncing and while receiving reminders there is actually just a sound that unlock the phone in my pocket with no any other infos - are there any workaround or settings that will force desire to popup reminders on screen?
So when I add an event to my Exchange calender from my computer, it puts it on my phone and automatically adds an alarm to the event. I never put the alarm in the event settings in Outlook, alarm is set to "none"...the phone literally adds an alarm to every single event all by itself. My old Evo never added the alarms automatically...anyone having the same problem?
Same here. What's really annoying is that I can't remove alarms on events others have scheduled.
I haven't tried it but swapping the calendar app for the AOSP version *might* work. You probably lose the widgets.
where do you get the AOSP calendar from?
I pulled this from the Cyanogen source.
You'll need root and some way to modify the file system, adb or root explorer work well.
Go to /system/app and rename TouchWizCalendar.apk to TouchWizCalendar.apk.bak and copy the attached calendar.apk to the same location.
Reboot.
Only bug I've found (in the 10 minutes I've been running it) is that I have a large O in the top left of calendar screen but otherwise it looks like the reminders are gone.
I am using stock Email app with Exchange Active Sync. Emails are setup to sync in Auto mode during working hours and after that every 4 hours.
There is however one small problem - for some reasons calendar notifications are not playing at all - in fact no pop ups as well. Any ideas?
