Weird, but this morning I woke up to a non-functional calendar alert. No audible or vibe. Calendar still working fine otherwise, like it's in silent mode tho.All my other alerts, email etc. are as usual. I found my mobile shell had taken a total dump during the nite also. Could not access any shell screens or options. I somehow think this more than mere coincidence. I removed shell and soft reset. No change. I'll probably hard reset it back to factory sets maybe later. Tomorrow I've got a touch dual arriving, so that'll take my mind off the cruise for awhile. Comments anyone?

that's odd. I don't have an answer, but I do have a related question (not much help to you, cdbreze :()
I was wondering if there was any way to limit the calender alerts to a single event and to stop alerts from turning on the screen. For example, if I am listening to music and the phone is in my pocket/bag and an alert goes off, it keeps beeping every 30s or so ad infinitum so that I actually have to get the phone out and 'dismiss' it. Worse, it turns on the touch screen, which means the phone starts dialing, deleting messages etc. Ideas?

...you can clean it with a number of tools available here. shouldn't need a hard reset.

I tried memmaid and set it to clean all that stuff out. Then it was suggested to me to try pocketmax alarm which I liked alot and am still running it as I like it's features. It didn`t help tho. Then I was beginning to lean toward a hard reset when I plugged it into my laptop via usb as the batt was pretty low. It always auto syncs even tho everything is already synced wirelessly. And...Viola! it starts working perfectly again. The usb sync did it. All is well again.
@fatgymteacher..For my calendar alerts I have the box checked to repeat as I want to make sure I get the alert. I don`t know about not having the screen lite up , a reg edit perhaps. But for the other if you go to start menu > settings > sounds > notifications there is a box for a repeat option. Find reminders then see if it's checked to repeat.:cool:

Hello,
I own a TC, running a WM6.1 ROM and supposedly, the Contact manager sould link the Birthday field of a contact with the Calendar, so that whenever you enter someone's details, you needn't repeat the same action in the Calendar. Filling in the Birthaday field of an Outlook contact doesn't seem to trigger any reaction of the Calendar application, or any, for that matter..
Can somebody help me restore this link/function?
thank you.
