[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Virtual HTC:
Hi, I've installed the previous version v2.5 on my device - believe me - and the rows / images / button was small and the program was fine! (I had compliment with you in this post: #6554149 - 22nd May 2010, 10:01 AM)

I re-installed the previous version 2.5 (i still had the cab on my computer), i attach 2 screenshot to show you how it works on my device with 480x320 resolution.

As you can see the rows & buttons height is different from the new version 2.7.1, I don't know why but it is different and the program work fine! :)

If you used the listcontrol in the v2.5 I think that the height problem is elsewhere (contact image / button with "auto height" or similiar settings in the listitem that are different between the 2 versions).

If can I help you somehow, tell me ... I'm here :)

Thanks & compliments for this app!

Hi Virtual HTC,

please try the new version v2.7.2 and give a feedback

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Virtual HTC:
Yeah! :)

The rows height in the main page is OK now as the previous version v2.5!

In the other datalist (option, filter page, etc ..) the height is still big (the option page is the same as my previous screenshot when the text go over the buttons) but i think that you have modified the app code only in the main page to test it!

I confirm you that the modification works very well, compliments! :)

If you can, please do the same in the other page with datalist to have the correct rows height everywhere :)

Thanks for the "open contact" flag too! :)

PS. I attach the italian language with the new 4 string translated
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Touruss:
Thank you for this cool program.

I have one question:

I add birthdays in the calendar.

Select : "non repeat (how old)"

But i see birthdays only for 2010 year :(

What about 2011 and etc?

Sorry for my bad english :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] siculo83:
This program is wonderful. I have a problem: I installed it but I do not load any birthday from address book contacts.

Why?

This message appears on my display:

01.01.1901 - dd/MM/yy

set in

ManilaBirthdayConfig.xml

<UseFirstDate

value="True"/>

<FirstDate

value="appropriate date"/>

What does this mean? What should I do?

I already entered today's date in ManilaBirthdayConfig.xml file but the software does not load any birthday.

Why???

Thanks

Age in calendar entries

Dont get the age in calendar entries

Get to see Bday. Name (??./1999)

Is there a fix?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi Iceberger,

you have to generate "non recurring calendar-entries" to get the age

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Iceberger:
Thanks for your reaction!

Didn’t pay good attention, silly me….

Actualy says: non recurring (with age)… how blind can I be???

Problem

HD2 with latest Energy Series ROM (Jun 26 | 21907):

When I click Calendar Entries my device freezes and i can't do anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi siculo83,

do the following in "ManilaBirthdayConfig.xml"

<UseFirstDate value="True"/>

<FirstDate value="01/01/1901"/>

then tell me if it works.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi pbugaev,

at this time i have no idea, because you are the first one with this problem.

Does the system freeze completely or just the Manila Birthday?

Maybe its a kind or problem with the rom version. Did you try the original HTC-Rom?

Is enough free ram available? So, do some other testing.

V2.7.2: Is it possible, to turn off the reminder for calender entries? Although the settings in options menu for "Reminder" are all off, all calender entries have the reminder active. Is this a bug?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi PoooMukkel,

I can not verify this behavior. For me everything works fine with v2.7.2.

So, take a look into the calendar-entry. There must be in the note something like "created by ManilaBirthday ...". If this not not exists the calendar-entry is not form ManilaBirthday. Do you sync with Outlook? Outlook creates entries with reminders.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] :
Ich antworte mal schnell in Deutsch. ;)

Ja, ich synchronisiere mit Outlook. Und bei jedem synchronisierten Geburtstag ist eine Erinnerung von 15 Minuten vorher aktiv.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dass irgendwie zum umgehen oder abzuschalten?

Anniversaries

Hi, when I try to select anniversaries, I get this error (see attachment), after clearing the errror the program closes
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Foo Bar:
Works on my Diamond

Thanks VPAFan for this app; I was looking for such application for a while, I missed it since I've left my old Palm TX.

Thumb up for using the Manilla L&F (and not that boring iPhonish like style)

I got crashes when trying to define the personalized subject for the calendar event.

I haven't tried the whole functionalities yet, but as far as I seen, great job (except for the crashes).

Thx again.

Manila Birthday in CDMA Sprint Touch Pro2

This is a great app and does install and work on my CDMA Touch Pro2 for Sprint running on latest stock ROM (wm6.5 with HTC Sense). But there are some problems:

1. The app takes a about 10 seconds to start probably because it is written with Manila SDK and not with Sense SDK. My stock ROM is running on HTC Sense so if the app can be re-written in Sense SDK, it would really help with the annoying wait for the app to open. In HTC Leo, this loan time may not be noticeable because Leo is running on the faster Snapdragon processor, but it would be nice if Touch Pro2 users are also supported.

2. The items in the main page and clicking any of the SELECT boxes in the settings page must be clicked on more than once to get the program to respond because this app was written and optimized for HTC Leo, which uses a capacitive touch screen. I wish the app can also be optimized for resistive touch screens as well.

3. When I select birthdays and anniversaries to appear in the calendar, the entries appears in the correct days corresponding to the birthdays and anniversaries but the title of entries appear as, for example, "Bday. John (??. / 1986)." However, my contacts have their full birthdays entered in my Contacts list.

4. In the Repeat section of the calendar it says, "Repeat: Days 5 of every Month." Instead the option should be "Repeat: Every Oct. 5" as an example.

5. In the Calendar Entries page, when I select "save selection" or "load selection" options from the menu, I get an Error page that says:

An unexpected error has occured in ManilaBirthday_2.exe.

Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

xmldoc.Load() failed! Probably file does NOT exist!

See attachments for pictures of the Details page.

6. This app takes up about 5 MB of RAM, which is too much RAM for such a simple program. HTC Leo come with about 500 MB of RAM but TP2 has about half the RAM of HTC Leo, so apps need to be optimized to require less RAM. This may be done by re-writing this app with Sense SDK.

One recommedation/request:

Is there any way to make a custom tab for this program in the HTC Sense TouchFlo tabs? Or even a custom tab in the HTC Sense All Contacts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mr. Makk:
can anyone provide the working ext for latest version.?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] amb123:
Hi VPAfan,

With regard to your question "show the manila ContactPage instead of the OutlookPage". I have it set on my phone omnia i900 running 23518 M2DV custom ROM from OCK on Modaco.

The only difference is that I use omnia lite contacts rather then manila contacts instead of outlook. Initially I did not count on using it with manila birthday. However now, MB works with omnia lite contact page. OCK cabed the solution for replacing outlook with omnia lite contacts. The integration of this fix through out entire UI is pretty deep. I had a hard time finding how to access outlook contacts in case I need it. There are some issues (as usual), I can not edit birthday info in omnia lite contacts unless I place the contact on M2Dv peoples tab first, then it opens up manilas contact page and let me edit whatever I want. Anyway, here is the cab I told you about. If you have any questions, I think it is better to ask OCK personaly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] igavio:

Bravo!

Well designed and implemented.

Must have for Manilla phones (mine is HD2).

I also fixed the greek translation which I attach.

I installed M-B in my omnia 2, but even if i put the reminder on (one day b4) nothing happens :(.

Luckily it is my daughters birthday tomorrow, date i wouldnt forget ever :)

Is there a bug, or have i to install another program to remind reminder that there's some job to do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi omni8000,

you have to activate the reminder in the settings and after that you have to create calendar entries.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] omni8000:
Thank s for the quick reply.

And thanks for the program :)

My steps...

Menu

Category filter active checked

no category checked

Menu

calendar entries>select all

make entries reccuring

Menu

settings

Reminder On, Reminder settings at time lets say 16:22:00 5 mins from now :)

days before 1 checked.

Repeat untill dismiss checked

flash green LED checked

vibrate checked.

and ...quit.

The entries are now in my default calendar.

I click on one to see details:

31 august

Bday.Daughters name (??./then icon of a bell, two arrows, text/1997)

All day task

It happens: every month (that will be a disaster, i cannot afford present every month :) )

Remind: 562 minutes

Free

Normal

Category: ManilBirthday

Note: created by ManilaBirthday #-21474_83641_0

It;s 16:25, no reminder occured :)

What i did wrong?

Updated

I did it with different proccedure

I first entered the reminder settings and then made all entries reccurring

Now it's better

A window pops up at the hour i selected saying :

Bday. Daughter's name (??./ 1997)

All day task, Tomorrow

I didn't receive any sound, not any vibration occured and as u saw ?? instead of the age and still "it happens every month, im the calendar).

Any suggestion?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi omni8000,

Why that? If you do so you don't see any entry in the Birthday view.

You have to check at least one category.

You have to activate Sound and vibration in the systems settings.

If you make recurring entries there will be no age because the age is next year different.If you want to see the age you have to make non recurring entries.

Also you can go to Settings /Calendar Entry-Birthday Subject and define your custom subject.

1.I unchecked both (activate filter, no category)

Strange thing, when I check only activate filter, I am seeing nothin in birthdays anniversaries.

When i check activate and no category or uncheck both i see them all :)

When i check only no category i see them too.

I was just experimenting with this, to see (listen to be exact) if i get any sound.

I have every sound and vibration enabled, I

still don' t get neither sound nor vibration

:)

Just the pop up window

My appointments from the calendar, always make the sound i want and vibration.

Right, now I have the age in the pop up window :).

Thank you for your patience.

P.s.

I sent you a P.M.

Any chance to have this for WQVGA devices?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi omi8000,

which ROM/OS do you have?

The only idea I have, is to have look at the standard Windows Mobile Settings.

<Start-Settings-Sound&Notification>

Otherwise I don't know what to do.

This is a very handy software. Never forget the important days ;).

My own birtday, the birtday of my best friend, ...:D

Facebook needs also contacts for a better control.

Not all the, i can edit here and here and here sh...t.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] selukwe:
Is it possible for Manila Birthday to show the given event at the Calendar line on screen when turning on the device? As of now, at least with East Europe ROM 3.14 this app has to be started first in order to show the birthdays/anniversaries, although when tapping on Calendar the event is there and duly shown. But as it is now, the event can easily be overlooked if the program or the Calendar are not launched... This is the changed behaviour under ROM 3.14; with the previous v1.66 it worked OK. Or is there perhaps some tweak how it can be enabled again?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nobody_07:
Thank you for your good work.

Only one question:

is it right, that i have to wait until 1. Januar 2011, if i want to mark the birthdays of the year 2011 - with age - in my outlook calendar?

If i try it now, i get only the birthdays of this year (which are marked yet).

Can you help me?

Thank you!

Hi Budniu,

this is aproblem with "regional settings". Did you change you DateTime-Format?

Try to edit your ManilaBirthdayConfig.xml

<UseFirstDate value=true />

<FirstDate value="01.01.1901" />

I hope this helps.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi nobody_07,

yes you are right. After the 1. Jan. 2011 you can save your Kalendarentries-selection - then delete all existing - load the saved Kalendarentries-selection and generate new entries with age.

Hi,

First, greate software!

:)

Now, I have a problem with the deletion of the calendar entries. I select all the calendar entries and then, it does not metter what I choose in the delete menu, I see a messagebox with the text that "0 entries have been deleted".

How can I delete the entries from my calendar?

Thanks again for the software.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi ungureanub,

you have to go to "calendar entries". There you see all your contacts. The checked Contacts do have a calendar entry at this time. "menu - delete entries" is now the place were you can do what you want.

If non of the contacts are checked but you still have entries in your calendar, then this entries do not correspond to this version of ManilaBirthday.

Therefor you have to delete them manually.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask again.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ungureanub:
Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but what you are saying is exactly what I did. The thing is, when I go to Calendar Entries, none of the entries is selected by default. If I select them manually, and then go to Delete entries, I always get the information that 0 Entries have been deleted.

I did not made any update to the app since I've installed it and in the calendar I have all the entries generated after I've installed it.

In the past I could update the entries in the calendar (like deleting some entries and creating new ones) but this just stopped working somehow.

What can I do?

Problems while syncing with outlook

Hallo VPAFan,

Thank you for this cool programm. :)

I am using Manila Birthday v.2.8.1 on my HTC HD2.

I am syncing my calendar entries with ActiveSync 4.5.0 (Build 5096) to Outlook 2003 on my PC.

Unfortenately the birthday entries made by Manila Birthday on my smartphone where not synced to the PC. :confused:

I found in the forum a post (#579) from Fab55 having the same problem but I found no solution. :(

Thank you for your help.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi ungureanub,

one question, did you modify or delete the note of the calendar entries?

Please try the following:

- delete the existing calendar entries manually

- create new with manila birthday

- try to delete the new with manila birthday

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi USAries,

this is an known issue of Outlook 2003. The ony thing you can do is to use Outlook 2007/2010

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ungureanub:
No, I did not changed anything.

I also thought about your suggestion, but I have a lot of entries in the calendar.

What should be the correct text in the notes field of each calendar entry?

LE: I've tried your suggestion with one entry and is working. What I've noticed is that when I go to the Calendar Entries page, none of them is selected, so I guess that the app does not sees the entries in the calendar. But all of them have a text "created by Manila Birthday" followed by some numbers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi ungureanub,

what you can do is to use the following function

Menu - calendar entries - delete entries - all existing

After that all your ManilaBirthday Calendar entries are deleted and you can generate all new.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ungureanub:
:confused:

I've tried "Menu - calendar entries - delete entries - all existing" several times, but nothing is deleted. The app does not recognize anymore the entries that were created.

If I now create new entries, those are seen and of course deleted.

But as I said, the old ones, are not "recognized" anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VPAFan:
Hi ungureanub,

did you sync with outlook and did you change the category from "ManilaBirthday" to anything else? Maybe this is the problem.

What version ManilaBirthday do you use.
