[Q] Calendar birthday recognition - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody know of a calendar that will actually tell you how old someone is once you put in their birthday? I use to have a windows mobile phone and I could put in someone's birthday and then each year it would tell me their age ie: Bill's birthday (34). I haven't been able to find any calendar that can do this on android. Any help??

Outlook don't make this for you ?
I have Outlook 2007 and each birthday of the Contacts is displayed like an appointment of all day, with an alarm at 00:00.

Yes you should sync. yor contacts with Outlook on your desktop (if you want to use this soft of course ).
In Outlook 2007 on your desktop, go to Detail and you'll find a birthday date and a weeding (translation ?) date also. If you put a date, you'll have an all day appointment, once sync. is done.

Hi,
Could u please explain it a bit more...I have opened the outlook and am I required to setup a new account or anything? Which menu should I access to sync my contacts?
Sorry for the noobie questions
I'll try with my poor english
I'm not sure you must create a new email account if you don't want to use Outlook 2007 for mailing on your desktop.
Try to skip this step (if I remember, you can use Outlook just for calendar and contacts).
If it's ok, create your contacts (you will have a tree on the left side and buttons at the bottom for calendar, contacts, tasks, etc.).
In a new contact window, on the top you will have an Action tab, and just on the right a Dispaly tab. In this tab, clic on the Details button and there you can write the birthday date.
For the synchronisation, once your phone connected on your desktop, open the device manager, and go to mobile setup, then, open Modify the synchronisation setups, tick Contacts, Save and it's ok.
I'm not sure about translation because I use a french Outllook 2007

Change Start Date in the Calendar

I would like to know if it's possible to change the day at which the week starts in the calendar. And if it's possible, how can I change it.
Thnx a 1000000
in standard windows calendar
Hi,
Open the standard windows calendar (not HTC calendar) and search for tools/options. There you have the option for the first day of the week: Monday or Sunday. Whatever you choose it will be valid also for HTC calendar.

First, thnx for you reply nradu.
I've found that way already, but i was asking if I can make it starts on Saturday for example, and with Friday as the weekend, got it?
Thnx again...

Calendar and adding files/attachment

Hello.
I use Microsoft Exchange, Outlook and the HTC Desire.
In Oulook, I am able to attach a .pdf or .ppt or .whatever to my calendar appointments. This is great for when I am travelling, and I need documents handy at specific appointments on my laptop.
But when I view the appointment on my Desire, the files are not there - and it would be really great to have them on my phone as well.
Does anyone know any workarounds to this?
Thanks in advance!

Is there anyone at all with an idea on how to solve this?

[Q] How to sync Windows Live calendar and contacts with EVO ?

Gosh, I'm looking for several hours and probably I'm just blind now. Search in xda shows very old post which are not of any help.
I really would like to know how to sync Windows Live calendar and contacts with EVO?
Please do not suggest gmail or one time one way .csv export.
I guess calendar is the biggest issue.
HTC sync can do some USBsync with outlook, but I do not have nor use outlook.
Big Thanks
edit 8/10
wow. I really thought that there is some solution.
Is Everybody using just outlook instead?
I do like LIVE so much better and it has 25GB free storage and so on.
there are some ideas to use gmail , but I do not see how that would actually work.
