Generate calendar entries from contacts (birthdays)

Hi,
i got a question regarding the calendar functions. With my Siemens I had
the option to generate birthday entries directly from the contacts...
...but with the S620 it does not seem to work?! Do I have to create 150+
birthday entries manually?! Thanks in advance

Facade is a software from SBSH likely to the Pocketbreeze on the PPC.
http://www.sbsh.net/products/facade/
it can display the birthday automaticly on the homescreen when who has a birthday.

You are wrong - you don't need any additional software, you have the contacts and input only the birthday date in it and it will show as first daily entry for the day, also showing the age..

@jsp_m: but it won't show up in the today view
@james_xl: i had a look at it but it is too much i don't need the
fancy stuff just the birthdays...

Any development on this topic?
I have to put in birthdays on the computer in order for them to show up in the calendar.

Generate Birthday in Calendar?
Hi !! I'm new one on windows mobile systems,,and I have an HTC touch.
I want to know if any of you have the same problem like that some contact information like birthdate is loaded on contact form,, but after that do not appears as Calendar event.
Could you some one help me on that ?
Is necessary add a plugin or new software like Agendus for that ??
Thanks in advance

Wrong platform -- wrong forum. HTC Touch is a WM Pro device, this forum is for the Excalibur line from HTC, available from HTC directly, or from other carriers. The Excalibur is WM5 or WM6 Standard (no touch screen).

Is there a fix for HTC home Weather plugin with T-mobile tzones internet?

Did anyone manage to get this weather plugin to work with Tmobile tzones ($5.99) internet? I tried to search for this issue but couldn't find a clear answer.
I works fine via ActiveSync or Wireless internet - but no go for t-zones proxied connection.

If I understood correctly, you would like to load the weather data over T-mobile. Correctly?
If, functions perfectly. Only select city and completely.
Or did you want another program, in place of the HTC weather Plugin?
Describe nevertheless please times which as much money costs there.
I am not safe me whether I you correctly understood.

I think you need to learn the English language a little better, before you try to help others... hehe I have no idea what you're talking about!

There's a fix for it. Someone created a server for the HTC plugin to get its data from and it works through TMobile (tzones or not). Read the HTC Home plugin threads around here and I'm sure you'll find a cab...

I tried the patched version on t-mobileweb and still couldn't get it to work..

I use spb mobile shell. It works.

As far as I know - SPB uses it's own weather plugin. I'd like to use HTC home weather.

Yes, that what's happening to me. There is a thread for HTC Home weather fix, but it looks like the author is rarely responding to peoples questions. Yes, he created a modified cab file that uses one of his servers to re-route the data, but somehow it's not working. I believe it's because of t-mobile tzone internet is using proxied access. On the regular internet access (thru WIfI or wireless lan or activesync) the plugin works great.
Is there a lucky person who managed to get this plugin to work on T-mobile USA tzones internet?

juzzie: the 6tab cab worked for me on this t-mobile plan:$29.99/month, Unlimited w/o VPN, internet2.voicestream.com. And U'r right, it looks like the owner of that thread has left the building!

Yep, I know. It's working on T-mobile data plans. But I'm using tzones which is a proxied connection.
To tell you honestly - I gave up. I tried Fizz weather and it works like a charm. It offers far better weather related services and takes only a thin bar on the home screen. You just have to configure it properly: I'm using 2 days forecast including current weather.

Been Trying!
I been trying for a long time now everyday to find the answer to Tmobile USA not being able to use the htc plugin weather program. I myself have full access internet 29.99. sometime it will load it, some times it wont. Maybe its where your at? check the tmobile site www.tmobile.com to see how is your signal. If everyone can come up with a test simple it would be faster to figure it out. Developers neeed help and imput. good luck

yeah, the modified cabs of the HTC weather plugin will only work on a non-proxied connection. I'm having the same trouble, and have tried everything out there.
N2A (creator of the modified HTC weather server) goes thru port 80 which is blocked on $5.99 T-zones, so thats where we suffer.
As far as SPB mobile shell goes, does it integrate with HTC Home tabs? or is it something on its own? any screen captures available?

Well maybe you can ask the guy nicely to make another dll for you that will connect to his server using a different port !

lol, I guess I could do that.

I would also recommend WeatherPanel with the "son of commuter 240" theme. It's just an awesome combination...

Maybe, just maybe this could help
Hi, I recently changed a HTC Touch (T-mobile GER) around completely to get rid of the (for me) unwanted carrier specifics of the original Rom. I Backuped the Ext Rom in which I came across the attached cab (I frankly don't have any idea what it does - all other contents were merely hompage setting or spftkey changer app...)
Since Tmob found it useful to play with the weather, maybe someone could see what's inside. Maybe it could solve the problem.
Cheers, Chris

Freeware Handwriting notepad App?

HI all;
When I bought the Artemis first time there was an app,like a notepad where I could just draw and save.It was very useful to jot down things very fast without typing.For ex I could use stylus and draw ,there was also a recognition after drawing.So could save a lot of time
But the new ROM's doesnt have it.I tried to find it from the forum.But couldn't find it.Any one knoe it?I also dnt know the name

the latest wm6 roms are using office mobile 2007.
there you will find "one note mobile", which is far better! even touchscreen notebooks are using onenote.

I know one note.But u can't draw there right?I mean there was a possibility to draw words and save it.After drawing in the menu there was an option to recognize that too.That one is what I am looking for.
Thanks to any one who has it.
Regards

HI friend;
Thats a block recognizer option or letter recognizer.I mean is a software where u can write this and save as it is.So next time u can see it more like a picture.U understand?
Regards

Some of the cooked ROMs do not have the handwriting recognition feature, I don't know whether it is missing from the O2 WM6 ROM too, or just from Tom's cooked ROMs.

must have been that, it wasn't hard to stumble upon when i was having a quick play thats why i thought it was there.

Thanks

Yes I know what u mean,Thanks for ur reply.
Its smthing like a ms paint for windows.We can write something using the paint brush and save it as a pic right?
I should have remembered it

I am an idiot
Sorry friends only yesterday did I find that the notes application can be used in the same way to write with stylus on screen.it had to be changed from type to write in the options menu.
Thanks to all those who contributed.

just a note -- if you want BETTER handwriting-type note apps, then maybe you should try out Phatpad. I tried it on my x51v before and the feel of the ink was a heckuva lot better than the default Notes. It can also handle your writing a lot better -- and apparently with Calligrapher (Phatware's version of Transcriber) you can draw in Phatpad and have drawing converted to text quite reliably.
I haven't had the cash to buy the app yet myself, but I might pick it up again one day when I have more cashola.

thnx i will try it

You should check Multipad.
It is not a freeware but a great proggy I use on a day to day basis.

Another Possibility
Don't forget Pocket Informant - as well as being a very good PIM, it features a Note taking facility on which you can also set alarms...which is nice!

Thanks to all
Thanks every one,I will try out the ones u guys mentioned.

OneNote mobile
Actually, I'm also interested in expanding OneNotes Mobile possibilities in the way regular notes work (to draw a note with pictures and handwriting without recognition and being able to sync it with my desktop version of oneNote)
Do you know any add-ons that can help?

Enchanced Contacts?

I've had a play with PocketCM, but really don't like the way it takes over SMS functionality. I also lookaed at iContact, but it's too raw.
Today I've come accros Vito FunContact which seems just about perfect - I need something useable with one finger in the car (and I don't like paying for stuff!)
Anybody got any other suggestions or thoughts?

oye Tangerine.....lot of fingerin' issues going on here...better not to use the w*** word!
Who likes to pay for anything?

The SMS stuff in PocketCM can be disabled. Have a look at www.pocketcm.com and look for posts on "settings.ini"

I did - but apparently it doesn't work properly... FunContact seems very good at first glance.

Try Sunnysoft Contacts. Very nice multilingual contact manager.

Try Spb Pocket Plus 4.0
From www.spbsoftwarehouse.com you can obtain this program wich now enables scroll directly form the contacts default aplication.

Tried it - touchscroll lets you scroll teh default contacts too... the problem with default contacts is that its too small to use one handed with your finger... I think I'm going to stick with FunContact for now...

Replace touchflo calendar

Hey guys, anyway to replace the calander that touchflo redirects you to? So for example when you click on the home screen appointment, it takes you to WM calander, I want to to go to thumbcal.
Thanks.
Also anyway to change the opera version that launches from touchflo internet tab?
I want 9.7 to come instead of 9.5.
Thanks.

That's exactly what I want 2....
But in my case, i want to use Pocket Informant as default calendar...
Does someone know a solution or reg edit to change the program that will use while making an apointment?
thanks in advance!
Ranney

Bump please? I found SMOpa or something, but it cant replace the calender. Thanks.

Man - I ALMOST like the Tf3d2 calendar. I still use MTP to run PocketBreeze in a tab, but if the calendar had
1) More info per item without opening it - maybe even a click once to expand to show all info and description, twice to open in MS Calendar...
2) Week view
3) Color Categories, or another way of visualising
4) Include tasks on the day page
...I'd be using it exclusively

anyone knows how to link it to Pocket Informant please??

Bump.. I too use Thumcal.... I like tf3d calendar for viewing info... but want to open thumbcal to make new appointments etc..
I checked in the hkeylm-software-htc-manilla-item 5 is the calendar
but no clear way to change where it directs you....

^^^^ THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO!!
The most I can do is when you click the no appointment thing on homescreen it will take you to thumbcal, BUT if you have an appointment it will open it in Windows Mobil calendar!!
Anyone know if you can skin the windows mobile calendar?

Yes I know what to do.
Start complaining at HTC about this. TouchFlo doesn't use the registry to ask for the default (calendar) application. TouchFlo is hard programmed to use the Windows software, in this case the calendar.
To get this changed in the way it should work..... HTC has to do the work!

maybe we can use vjbrisk I'll have a look at it later!

Has anyone had any success?
Id do this myself if I had a clue...but I dont. Any gurus out there have any ideas? Or is this simply not possible?

bump
I hate to beat a dead horse, but has anyone figured this out? It seems like this would be a bigger, yet simple fix than most of the other tweaks out there already. any help towards such a tweak would be greatly appreciated.

like you,i hate this calendar as well,it's very rustic design,i want to remove it from the Today desktop,replace it with other better-looking calendar,but holy ****,after lots of research,the conclusion is that this calendar is built within Touchflo3d scripts (called inbedded),even tweaking registry cannot remove it!
So forget this tempt. give up. i am trying to see other better Today program to replace this goddamned touchflo3d.
