Calender Notification on Lock Screen - HTC One X

Hi Guys,
Loving the One X so far!
One annoyance that I can seem to figure out is with the lockscreen set to productivity and showing birthdays via calendar, it only shows upcoming birthday's (tomorrow)
Anyone know how to get the lock screen calendar notification to show todays birthdays/appointments ?
Thanks!

Go to the menu to adjust lock screens. They chose the 2nd one (productivity) and press "Settings", 4th item says "Show calendarevents" click that one.
Now chose all the calendars you want to show on the lock screen. (Most likely the one with birthdays isn't check, so just check that one and the other calendars you want to see)

Thanks for your help.
I have tried what you are saying and selected all the calendars. The problem is not that the birthdays dont show, its that the notification shows the birthdays for tomorrow and not today, thats the issue here. Wondering how to set the notifications to show todays calendar events

Uhm I don't know how to fix that. Sorry!

That's how it works unfortunately - only shows next event, not current event

Kinda beats the point then doesnt it? Having it on the notification screen is to remind us of what is due today, rather than tomorrow yeah?

All appointments in the future (also for today) are shown. Your problem is that birthdays normally add as all-day-event and this is already begon (at midnight) and therefore it is not shown.
A workaround can be to change the event to a time in the future (such as 23pm).

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

Birthday message......where is it coming from?

Ok this is driving me nuts, i dont know what app is doing this.... Every night my phone reminds me peoples birthdays on facebook.. I dont use the fb app, i use friend caster, but it has not separate setting for birthday notifications. It gives me a regular notification with my other friend caster notifications.
The notification it shows is a cake with a candle on it and it says "Today is so and so's birthday don't forget to say happy birthday or get a present. I try and click on the notification and it FC
Any ideas? Its driving me nuts!
Are you on MIUI? If so, I think it says that if your friend's birthday's are listed in your contact files for them. Check your contacts for the birthday section.
I believe that is calendar with the cake icon. Try opening calendar then menu -> more -> calendars and uncheck any social apps such as facebook etc.

Thanks! thats it, for some reason friend caster is showing all facebook contacts. I know on my D1 it only would show profile pictures,bdays just for the ones that was listed in my phone contacts. For some reason i can not find that setting

[Q] Facebook birthdays shows on lockscreen although unchecked

Hi!
This is really annoying.
I have unchecked every calendar except my main one.
But the birthdays from the Facebook-calendar is still showing as a notice on the lockscreen. Is there someway around this? Or do I have to send an error report to HTC?
Cheers

Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Productivity* > Settings > Display calendar events from... and select/deselect ones you want to show.
*this assumes you are using this particular theme/skin for locked screen.
I was doing the same as you, thought unchecking the FB calendar in Calendar options/settings would do the trick but no joy - took me a while to figure this out!
Hope it works.

Tryed that,didn't work,i think is a lock screen bug,i am using MILocker now.
As stated above. I does not work, that was the first thing I tried.
It worked for me.
Are you both stock or custom & are you running latest Facebook version?
Perhaps try uninstalling the Facebook app, clearing the app cache & re-installing might help. Then deselect Facebook calendar under app sync options, calendar view and then lock screen settings just to be thorough.
Failing that, not sure what else to try except a hard reset if it bothers you that much!

[Q] cant get rid of facebook calendar in lockscreen

Hi.
I have setup my lockscreen to show the Productivity Screen.
My agenda is set up to only show my gmail agenda.
Still I only get Facebook notifications shown on lockscreen.
What am I doing wrong here?
grtz,
Twan
nobody?? really??
yes, this is a bumperpost.
Hi,
i am on 1.29 FW and the problem still exists. You can choose the calendars you want to see, but i think HTC forgets to check these settings when showing the entries on the screen.
I hope they fix this in a upcoming FW
I've only just started using this setting so I've not had any Facebook events appear yet but I noticed when you click on a calendar event it takes you to the HTC calendar app where it showed the Facebook calendar. I have unselected it in there and will see how I get on
I have set up mycalendars to not show any Facebook events. It keeps puzzling me.
grtz, Twan
I think is a bug,the only way you can remove the facebook calendar is to go into settings>accounts and remove the facebook account..
I disabled the Facebook calendar sync (settings-accounts-facebook-calendarsync) can't check yet; as there are still some items today.... w'll see....
grtz, Twan
neither the sw upgrade to 29.401.11 nor the setting mentioned in the previous post solves this.
You can swipe through your today calender items on the lockscreen (left + right).
I have this problem too, is it definitely a bug? does anyone know if its fixed in any of the custom ROMs?
I've had this issue since day 1 on my HOX, its made me stop using the Productivity lockscreen unfortunately.
Hope its fixed soon
I've just noticed this too - very annoying! Is there no fix for this then and if not has anyone raised a case ticket with HTC?

Aha! Resolved. Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Settings and at the bottom you can choose which calendars & subsequently their notifications appear on the locked screen.

Hi Gulioth.
Have you actually read the reason for this topic?
The HOX just does not "disable" the FB calendar after you deselect it.
It keeps showing the FB calendar.

[Q] New mails don't appear in the Lock Screen

Hi. I am very satisfied with my HTC ONE X. There is just one thing bothering me: It seems to be impossible to display the new arriving mails on my Lock Screen (Productivity). Missed calls, new text messages and my calendar events are no problem, but there is now way to get the new mails on that screen. The settings are correct, but I still don't unsterstand why it doesn't work....
Waiting for HTC support is like hoping for Jesus to appear in front of you ...
By the way, I am using the official Gmail App for my mailing. I also read in another forum that the HTC guys are not to blame: The problem would be coming from Google...
So, what shall I do, did I miss something ?
Does anyone have an idea to help me out, would be highly appreciated !

Are you using a third party launcher? I have found that the Rosie launcher needs to be running in memory for the mail notification to update on the lock screen. It doesn't however have to be your primary launcher. Just create a shortcut to it and launch it whenever the notification icons stop updating. I haven't taken the time to figure out if Android kills the launcher from memory or not during use.
If you go to settings > personalise > lock screen style then go to the productivity option and select settings if you go to the 'display mail from' option it will only allow you to select the accounts you have in the default mail app.
This is slightly odd though as the calendar display options allow you to display calendar items from many more sources that you have already configured (Facebook, Google etc.)
Just for clarification, I have a fully stock HOX.
Thank you for your replies guys. It has strictly nothing to do with thirdpard launchers, or with the settings. It simply doesn't work because it is not the default mail program I am using. Sad but true...

I recently figured that out as well it won't show official Gmail app emails, you need to configure your gmail account into HTCs mail app which is not too bad for Gmail saying that.
