I didn't edit them :) but I played with your software this morning in the train.

Tested on a WM6.5 HTC Sense ROM.

Here's what I found :

- First update with appointments created -> crash but all appointments are indeed created (except for twins).

- Twins : only the first one (alphabetical order) has his birthday added to the calendar. To add the second one's birthday, you have to click on update

- Contacts whom birthday are on 10, 20 or 30, get a second one :D respectively on 11, 21 and 31 (or 1st if no 31).

- Update without new appointments created -> no crash

- With French language selected, the Update windows text remains in English : {0} appointments were deleted, {1} new appointments were created and {2} existing appointments updated. The windows title is in French though : Opération terminée (Operation Complete).

- I added a Birthday on 20 (tomorrow). I got the appointment on the Home around 2 pm. The reminder came later as I noticed it around 6 pm. All settings were the default one.

That's all for now !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] toutatis:
I'm not sure that wishing Saint's day is common in anglo-saxon countries.

But it's true that in business context, I don't really see the importance of Anniversary. For me it's wedding anniversary, but it's really private matter !

I admit this is a bit confusing.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheToid:
This must be a problem with the HTC Sense ROM, I just tested twins on a Clean Win Mobile 6.5 Professional emulator device and both appointments were created properly on the FIRST update, all settings were at their default.

Again must be the HTC Sense ROM, it does not do this for me using the Win Mobile 6.5 Professional Emulator device, only one appointment is created for birthdays / anniversaries on the 10, 20, and 30th (none were created for the 11th, 21st, 31st, or 1st). This worked fine for contacts appointments AND custom contacts.

Yes in the English.lang demonstration file you will notice there are 2 spaces after the {2} parameter, there should be only one, conversion will not occur unless they are the same.

Also missing from the English.lang demonstration file (and maybe others)

No changes were necessary, all birthday / anniversary appointments up to date

The code I wrote for the english conversion automatically converts all text on a form when it is first opened, so if you notice something not being converted, simply check to ensure it is exact, if it matches it will convert.

With default settings all birthdays were created on the WM 6.5 Professional device, the default setting for the alarm is 1 day before at 10:00 am, Midnight - 10:00 am = 14 hours, my appointments were created with a 14 hour prior alarm time (the alarm did sound at 10:00 am), what was on your appointments when you edited them?

I never really realised how much these specific ROMs are changed when they are released per phone, however, the Emulators that for Visual Studio are made by microsoft and therefor contain releases of Windows Mobile and Pocket Outlook which are unaltered from the Original. I can only go by these emulators when I do my testing, if no problems occur then unfortunately I dont have much recourse.

It is possible that the problems you are having are due to other software installed, or maybe other settings we havnt taken into consideration (I know you said you had ALL settings on default), but if there arent any other settings then I can only conclude that its your devices implementation of Windows Mobile / Pocket outlook.

This software was developed on a HTC Touch HD with the stock standard Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and Pocket Outlook. It should work perfectly for that device.

I have released this software currently under the Blackstone forum, this was intentional because I knew it worked on this device, any other devices it may / may not work on and I cant afford to buy all these devices to test it on, however, if you are willing to work with me maybe we can get it fixed.

But I will need a LOT more information, what are you settings in my program, what are the system settings for the default Alarm, what region are you from, what are all the Contacts you have and what are their birthdays and anniversaries set to.

Even then, if I cant reproduce it I cant fix, unfortunately.

Thanks,

Toid

Was searching for program like this and came here.

Unfortunately, it doesn't not work with newer cooked ROMs (Xannytech 2.1)

First run - quick crash - still added few birthdays to calendar

Second run - crash again but more added. Also generated next day duplicates.

(after crash - several pages of error details)

I think it's a known issue with WM 6.5.x but I hope it will be fixed once as such thing is really usefull (personally don't like any syncing with Outlook) so I'll try to monitor home page.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheToid:
Thanks for your useful feedback krbo, unfortunately i have up to this point been unable to determine what the actual problem is, it seems to error on the Appointment.Update() call, which should be a standard call, if you have any ideas please let me know.

Thanks,

TheToid

I really don't know. Maybe a WM 6.5.x , maybe a HTC Sense

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] toutatis:
OK. No error after removing the extra space in the French.lang file.

Yes, I got the same error with a new cooked HTC Sense ROM, this one 6.5.1.

So far, with 3 HTC Sense ROM (WWE 6.5, FRA 6.5 and 6.5.1 FRA), I got the same error but with different results. With the last ROM, only 2 or 3 appointments were created. With the previous, all were created but with some doublets.

I'd really like to help you but I'm not knowledgeable enough.

I just gave a look to the screenshots of the other apps and I fully agree. That's why I kept installing Birthday / Anniversary to Appointments.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheToid:
Thanks for your kind words krbo, I will look into it when I get some spare time and post in here when I have a solution, it would be great if you could test it for me again when the time comes :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheToid:
Thanks for the info Toutatis, hopefully I can work out the issue!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] krbo:
keep the good work mate.

I'll also continue to install your app even it's main purpose is not working but birthday list alone is very useful to me.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Mr.74:
Looks great - Doesn't work with Dutty's SENSE 2.1 HR R0 WWE

Crashed during update process and made only one appointment.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheToid:
Is that the stock standard ROM Mr. 74, or a cooked ROM?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ~Marty~:
Hi Toid,

Thanks for your nifty app, I love the list feature.

However, I'm having troubles running the update - as for some

other users it crashes before creating the appointments.

When I click "update" the program starts -> "checking contacts" -> "creating appointments" and then stops with a failure (log below).

The result is two entries for the first person in the contact list, first entry

on the actual birthday and the second entry one day later.

If I try to update again after the crash, there are 4 more entries created

for two additional contacts in the same way as described (2 entries per person).

Here is the failure log:

Unexpected exception in BirthdayToCalendar.exe [...] "Native method failed"

Details:

Any clue, what's wrong?

Some other remarks:

The instruction on the front page says to "click the View button" but

the middle button at the bottom is "List" on my device.

In the list view, the width of the "Days" column is so narrow, that you can

only see one digit numbers without changing the width. Could you set it to

a default value, which would allow to see 3 digits numbers easily?

Finally my setup:

HD2 "Leo"

ROM: 1.43.407.2. GER (original)

Manila: 2.5.192xxx

WM 6.5

.NET CF 3.5.7283.0 & 2.0.7045.0 with the registry hack to use the 3.5.x version

I hope there is a solution to the problem above.

Otherwise you'll need to make a "list birthdays" only version for me ;):D

Cheers

Marty

EDIT: I just see, that this is the same problem as toutatis described before.

If you need any additional information let me know.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TheToid:
Marty,

Many thanks for your detailed of description and information on whats happening, this seems to be a problem with people who are running WM 6.5 (something minor must have changed with the requirements of the Appointment.Update method on WM 6.5) when I get some time I will set up a testing environment using the WM 6.5 emulator and see if I can replicate the error. Hope fully I will be able to sort out the issues :)

For the instructions text I will get that fixed but will have to change the language files as well.

The column width is a strange one, its MEANT to auto size to the header AND the data in the column, so I will check that out too.

Kind Regards,

TheToid

PS: I wish I had of waited a little longer for the HD2 to come out before I bought my HD, whats the HD2 like, is it smoother to use?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ~Marty~:
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to succeed in sorting out this issue.

HD2 is actually my first pocket-pc like mobile, before that I had

an old Nokia 3510.

I've had HD in my hands but I never really used it, so it's difficult

for me to tell if there is a big difference.

Obviously you don't need the stylus anymore and in my experience the scrolling is in fact smooth.

Also, since it's a Windows device, you need a fair amount of tweaking

and additional apps to shape the phone to you likings (yeah, we all know that :D )

Regards,

Marty

Display in calendar

Hi,

I have the french version of Birthday to Calendar, the program is in french, but the display of appointement in outlook is still in english, it display: "Name,Firstname, birthday" instead of "Anniversaire de Name,Firstname". For anniversary, it's the same issue.

"Name,Firstname, Anniversary", instead of "Fête de Name,Firstname".

Is there a way to change this part of your wonderfull software ?

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

I like this program, it works smoothly on my IPAQ 114. My thanks to the author.

However, the entries made by this program don't appear on the Month's view of the Calendar, while they just are most welcome to be there!

How can I make them to be visible there?

Do you have your device placed flat on a surface when a call comes in?

no whatever it's always low voice when i got incoming call , but when i play the ringtone it's high

any adeas????

and thanks alot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mesquire:
The reason I asked is because if the phone is placed flat on a surface, the speakers are blocked.

Try check your ring volume registry settings

HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring/InitVol (dword)

max value : 5

you may wish to try a number higher than 5, but be warned, this can damage your speakers.

Hey guy's wanted to know if any of you have a good suggestions for a Video converter program for our Touch Pro 2? I have a bunch of movies that I would like to convert to the best possible format for the phone. I was watching a Youtube Vid online and the guy suggested adjusting the Resolution to no more than 720 and a bit rate of no more than 1.5 for the best quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONMuEeTo7A . I have not been able to find any programs on Demonoid as of yet that allow you to specifically customize the resolution or bit rate to that setting....just a bunch of pre-set settings.

Any help greatly appreciated!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
Super can let you specify (if you click on "more" in the res settings). Oh, and you really should avoid saying just "720" as it can be interpreted as "720p" or "1280x720". What you're talking about is 720 x XXX (can't remember the specific horizontal, especially as that depends on the specific movie)

If anyone is keen , or if you are like me and have a spare headset from another phone you can use the following diagram and cable colour code to make your own video out cable.

I have used the Raphael cable for this excercise as I like my old Hermes one better.

You will need:

One Red White and Yellow RCA Cable

Step One. Remove pin four from the extUSB plug. *note this can be tricky but is necessary to allow the device to recognise the cable as a TV out cable as opposed to a Headset cable. I used a needle to bend into the middle of the plug and then used a tiny micro screwdriver to bend backwards and forwards until it broke. Be careful not to damage any of the other contacts. Please see post 20 for an easier option that doesnot involve removing pin 4

Step Two. Cut cable as close to mic piece as possible and remove outside cover.

Step Three. Solder the following pairs of cables together using the following codes:

Video positive (Yellow RCA end) --> White pvc coated cable (extUSB end).

Video sheild (Yellow RCA end), --> blue copper cable (extUSB end).

Audio Left (White or Black RCA end) --> green copper cable (extUSB end).

Audio Right (Red RCA end) --> red copper cable (extUSB end).

Audio Sheild ( both Red and White or Black RCA end --> copper cable (extUSB end), * note the copper cable is the sheild wire that surounds all the coloured wires.

The last two colored copper wires

Step Four. wrap electrical tape around the solderd wires so that they do not touch any of the other contacts.

Step Five. Plug in and play.

I am unaware if this works with all devices as I only have a Raphael to test this on. If anyone does find that their device works with this cable let me know and I will post it with this post.

I think the device must have the TV out function cooked into the Rom or maybe there is a registry hack?

Does the TV out only outputs certain content or can any content can be shown on the TV

im gonna answer myself :p

any content can be seen on the TV.

yes it does have to be conected to the TV and the TV has to be ON in order to detect the signal.
