[Q] Change the default reminder time for calendar events? - Windows Phone 7 General

Not sure where best to post this, so hope this is the right place. The default reminder time for calendar events is 15 minutes. Can the default be changed rather than having to manually edit each event I add in my phone? Or is this another example of MS locking down most settings on an otherwise great OS?

I looked and looked for you... no success. Sorry, but I believe this will be another one of those "wait for update" features.

Set default calendar reminder to none.

I have the same exact problem. I need to set my default calendar reminder on HD7 to none.
Is there a way to go into the registry using a regeditor to do this?

Calendar Question on Home

Hi
How can I set the Home screen calendar not to display the "All Day" event?
I know I can do that without the TouchUI GUI.
Anyone?
I don't know
but i have a question to...
how can you set the number of items that are displayed in the calendar? and can i also set the calendar to show a couple of days ahead (so that i can see my appointments for say 2 weeks ahead)
I would love to know this too.
You can turn off TouchFlo 3D (through all settings-personal-today items) and then go to calendar options. But even in its default options from Windows Mobile, there is no such option to set the appoinment settings

[Q] Sense Calendar Question

Quick question... I've just switched back to Sense from CM6, and I'm wondering if I am losing my mind.
Am I right in saying that it is NOT POSSIBLE to edit calendar entries using HTC calendar? That seems unbelievable to me, but so far the only options I can see are to create an entry or delete. There is no "edit" option. I'm 99% certain that the AOSP calendar has this.
Can someone please confirm?
Thanks,
Matt_TX
EDIT: Even more bizarre... I CAN edit entries created on my Exchange Calendar, but I CANNOT edit entries created on my Google Calendars. So weird!
My edit option seems to depend on where the entry comes from. If I add something striaght to the calendar I can edit it as I please. If it's something that sync'ed from lets say Facebook then I can not edit it. My work exchange also syncs and it all depends on what the event is and if it's something I originally made or not. All in all I think it depends on the type of even it is but I will also be watching this thread to see if someone has a little more info they can chime in with.
This is really very strange...
I can add, edit and delete apppointments on my Exchange calendar - regardless of where the entry was orignally made - Phone, OWA or Outlook.
I can ONLY add or delete (NO EDIT) appointments on my Google calendar(s) - regardless of where the entry was originally made - Phone or Web.
Anyone know why this is the case? AOSP calendar works just fine... Is this a bug in Sense?

Calendar alarms?

When I set an event in Google Calendar and add an alarm to ring 10 minutes before it starts, my Nokia will ring, but my Desire will keep silent even though the event is synchronized into its calendar.
Is there any way to make Desire ring on alarmed Google Calendar events?

a quick google has come up with someone much cleverer than me who has created an app that looks to be what you are after ....
here is his blog
http://blog.invalidobject.com/android-app-calendar-event-reminder
apparently its available on the market
Do I really have to pay for such basic functionality?

No you don't. It is standard. Just look at the settings in the stock calendar app.
Wau Calendar Event Reminder is great app. Thanks
It's a good app ... but the alarming is built in and should be on by default .... have you played with the settings? I believe you have set up the google account ... do you see the event in your calendar phone (first trouble shooting)?

You should find a "Calendar to display" option right above the scaling option on the main screen when you open a widget. There you can select from which calendar the events for this widget are pulled. This is for the whole widget, a configuration for a single module is not available.
haha thanks. Cant believe i missed that.

[Q] Trying to display first event from specific calendar

I've been stumped on this one for a while. I'm making a module that displays the first event from a specific calendar.
So far, I've been able to identify whether or not the first event is from that calendar using it's color. However, if the first event in the calendar isn't that color, nothing will display.
Code:
$#C0COLOR#=#ffc2c2c2?C0TITLE$
Is there a way to identify the first event of a certain color (calendar)?

If you only want to display the events from a specific calendar, easiest way would be to select only that one for the widget (option is on the main widget edit screen). Then #C0TITLE# automatically is the next event of that calendar. If you want to display events from multiple calendars, then you sadly are out of luck. There is no build-in way to select a specific event from a specific calendar out of multiple.
If you are proficient enough with Tasker, you might be able to select the event there and then post it to Zooper.

Hmm, that wouldnt be sufficient. I have some experiene with Tasker, but not sure how I would go about doing that. Do you think you could guide me in the general direction?

Sorry but I'm not that good in Tasker myself, so I can't help you with this.
