[Q] Birthdays in the Contacts - Why not displayed on ARC?

---

Hello,

I set EVERY contact I have with Birthday information, and it is perfectly displayed on my X10 mini with cyanogenMod 6. On the Arc however, the birthday field is not shown. I do have a calendar with all the birthdays, but if you have no clue when someones birthday is coming up, this is a real pain in the ass...

Is the birthay only displayed on cyanogenmod or did S/// (for whatever reason...) disable this feature?

Is there a workaround?
Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Linkin

I'm planning to buy Arc ( waiting for it to be available in my country ), and now I'm worried about this as I used to have Birthdays in any contact that I know his/her birthday...

BTW, does Android add a yearly calendar event when adding new birthday to a contact ?

the birthday entries dont get deleted, you just cant see them...

I enabled the option "birthday calendar of your contacts" so when you enter a new contact's birthday it will shop up there, but unfortunately you cant enter it with the xperia arc (at least at the moment...)


Does someone have a solution to this?

I don't have Android yet but I believe there's some apps in the market that will let you do so

yeah, another dialer app might help. But isnt there a way to fix this another way?

If not, can someone tell me, whats the name of the gingerbread stock dialer or give me some tipps?

ok as a solution does anyone have the possibility to give me the apk files for the contacts/dialer app from cyanogenmod 7?

I didnt find them :/

well, since there seems no option to change this, I did the following:

Contapps can show you the birthdays:

I tried A LOT OF CONTACT APPS, and this is the only one I found which does show the birthdays, but the way: it seems to be a really good app!

Ebobirthday shows and can give you a reminder for birthdays:

Keep testing it, but since Contapps does most of it, I think I'll remove it!


Nevertheless: if someone can offer me an apk file to the default gingerbread contact app, I would really appreciate it!
