Calendar Reminder Problem

2 replies · 2,222 views · Started 21 April 2003

I'm using bluetooth to synch my 3650 w/ Outlook on my pc. Problem is, everything in Outlook on my pc has a remider attached to it (pop up) -- on the 3650 this turns into a LOUD BEEP that goes on for a minute and then repeats every 5 minutes until I physically press STOP. Does anyone know of a way to mute this feature without either changing every calendar item or turning the entire phone onto Silent ?? This is a pain b/c all my birthdays in Outlook are set to 12.01am - so the phone rings in the middle of the night.

Extended Profiles (by PsiNT) can control the alarm for calendars.

But birthdays should come up as 'memo' in the phone; and alarms can be set as 'do not synchronise'. Lots of little options you have to look for.

Thanks for the info. Couple of additional questions:
- How do you set the alarms as do no sync ? I cant find that option anywhere ?
- Downloaded Extended Profiles, but they don't have a Silent option for Alarms - just different choices of tones
- Lastly - is there a way to sync Tasks from the PC and be able to see the data within the task rather then just the Title, Date etc.
Thanks for your help - This phone ROCKS
