BB Torch :: 9800 - General Calendar Options To Keep Appointments Forever?
Aug 21, 2010
Numerous problems with the way the calendar app saves old appointments. I've got a BB Torch 9800 running version 6.0 bundle 695 interfaced with a Mac. When I try to set the options for the calendar to keep appointments forever, it keeps reverting back to saving them for 60 days deleting the older appointments. It is not saving my options correctly. I've tried a battery reset, but no change. Does anyone have some insight into this?
I just noticed in my Blackberry that all my appointments are purging out for the previous month. This is a very serious situation because I need to refer back to my calendar and look at past appointments. I checked my sync settings and I have it set that my phone overrides my Outlook calendar and on my phone I have it set to save appointments forever.
Had my torch for a week now, all works great except I get no reminders at all from the calendar for appointments, no pop up on screen, no tones or vibrates. If I set a reminder alarm then that works, so does the alarm clock in the morning and all of my message alerts, phone, text, e-mail etc, but nothing from the calendar appointments.
So I downloaded a stupid Memory Boost app and it deleted all my Appointments 1 year back..Is there a way to restore them? I have no backup or anything similar..Are these stored somewhere so I can use some kind of data recovery software?
When I change time zones, my appointments change time as well.How do I stop this but be able to change time zones when I am flying interstate. I would have my appointments on the correct time wherever I am.
I've just bought a BB Pearl Flip 8220 and I'm trying to configure it to do not answer the call when the phone is opened. According the user manual, I should go to Menu -> Options - General Options.But there is no GENERAL OPTIONS in the options list. Could anyone tell me where.I can set this option?
I have bought a Torch, but cannot get it to set up in the Organizer configuration to sync with my Calendar in MS Office XP- Outlook. My computer runs Windows XP. The contacts and memo will configure (although) they are posting to an archive folder and when I try to change that I get Error 0x80043bea), but the Calendar and Tasks will go through the set-up process, but when you finish it, the checkmark on those 2 Outlook folder disappears before you can even select the advance settings.I have re-set the configuration on the Desktop software a couple of times, to no avail, and uninstalled the Desktop 6.0 software and reinstalled it. None of these measures have changed the problem.Any suggestions?
When I had my 8310 curve there were a crapload of options in the brower settings and one of them was to select which type of brower it viewed the webpage as, (blackberry, IE, etc.)
anyways, I'd like to know if this option still exists, because I'm trying to access a mobile website but its coming up as the full website. When I tried putting an m. in front of the website it didnt work so I'm not sure how to access it.
I installed Google sync and everything works well but:
1)my calendar is not syncing (birthday's calendar is syncing but not the main calendar even I set him to be synced via google sync..)
2)i entered setup once installed the app but i am not able to get there again - the it makes simply nothing when I am trying to get to the setup in google sync app
I got a new torch and I'm totally loving it but I wonder why I dont see my birthday appointments in the calendar? I've synced only the adress book from my old bold 9000 birthdays are still listed in the contacts but they do not appear in my calendar. If I add a new birthday to a contact it does appear. Can somebody help me?
my bb was working ok and was syncing ok with my Outlook calender. The bb calender was synced to one of my five email accounts (mail@tw). I started to get issues with it so I followed advice and deleted the other calender cical things except for facebook. Since then the bb has added a default calender to mirror the mail@tw calender....so I have duplicate entries for everything and I don't know what to do.....
I'm running version 6.0 Bundle 2647(v6.0.0.600, platform 6.6.0.223)what I'm missing on my torch are the calendar weeks? I did not ifnda setting to enable it. I synch with Outlook where I have the calendar week enabled, I used windowns mobile 6.5 befroe and liked the caledar weeks. As calendar weeks are an important information in my daily business discussions.
After the last software update I reset my sync with desktop configurations. The calendar fails to reset despite numerous tried and I desperately NEED my calendar to sync and everything else syncs BUT the calendar. what else can I try?
My calendar entries disappear after 90 days even though I have it set to keep "forever". Recurring appointments, birthdays, tasks, all stay forever but not appointments. I do not do any calendar syncing to either gmail or outlook. I rely on my BB for tracking and saving my appointments and recently realized (when I really needed it) that my appointments were not there. Memory is fine and I'm running OS6.What do I set to make the appointments stay forever?
All reminders set on my Blackberry Torch 9800 would not provide a reminder (a pop up screen) nor would it vibrate (in normal and vibrate mode) or make a sound (in normal mode) when the time of reminder was set. For example: Time now it is 4:50pm and I set a reminder for 5pm with a reminder set for 5 min. On my previous BB9700 a reminder would be generated at 4:55 pm (a sound and/or vibrate depending on the mode and profile setting). On my current BB 9800, nothing would happen.
Does anyone know how to clear or erase my calendar events from the notification bar? I did some research it is says under Options-Display there should be a option for External Notification. BUT my phone does not have that option.
I synced my phone with my work calendar and since then the phone likes to wake me up extra early with reminders about things happening that day.This is driving me crazy - How do I get rid of all the appointments?I've tried options/ delete - but it will only let me delete the ones in the past.I've tried changing the date on the phone and deleting them - and it says it's done it but the appointments are still there.
Does anyone else have an issue in agenda view where the date starts way in the future? Even if I hit go to today if briefly goes then back forward to future year.
Whenever I go to my notification bar to check a Facebook or text message the entire screen is full of annoying birthday notifications. I have checked/unchecked everything but they constantly appear.How can I keep the calendar from posting notifications?
I purchased the Torch last week. I use it for work. Due to firewall issues I had to have my IT department download the Desktop Software for me so that I could sync everything. I am on the personal plan not the Enterprise, although I still can receive emails for work.
When I did the Configure Settings to set up the syncing it let me do the Calendar and then the Address book. Yet when I got ready to run the sync the Calendar says "not installed". I was able to sync the contacts with my Outlook, but for some reason can't get the Calendar to work. I really need to have my calendar sync'd.I'm on AT&T and have had the Bold 9000 previously. I never had any problems with the Desktop Software until now.
I can't stop sync deleting past calendar entries. Using torch 9800 and OS6 2949 with outlook 2007. I tried configuring for hours but syncing still comes up trying to delete entries more than few months old, which I want to keep. I tried 'upcoming entries only' (then it wants to delete over 1000 entries!!) and can't get the 'advanced' filters option to make any difference.
I tried to delete a few recurring appointments from my calendar. When I view my calendar the appointments still appear. I attempt to try and delete the appointments again and I receive the following message:
Appointment deleted externally. Changes will be lost and the viewer closed.Does anyone know how I can delete my appointments and not have them appear? In some cases, the same appointment is listed twice.
I have lost the ability to send calendar appointments to other users? I am able to receive them and accept/decline etc, however all they get from me is a word type document?
Using the search function I am not able to search the calendar for appointments. For example, I see, on my calendar, that it says "Soni birthday" for May 23. However, I could not enter "Soni" in the search function, select calendar, and find the date of her birthday. Same for all appointments, recurring and single entries.
