    • Nokia Lumia 800 - Past Calendar Items

      Nokia Lumia 800 - Past Calendar Items
      Allow history to show on the phone calendar, rather than cutting it off after 15 days - many people use their phones as a diary/journal and for business purposes.

      • Clear seconds when set up current time

        When I set time to 12:00 I do not want to have 12:01 in 10 seconds (because internal seconds counter is not zeroed)

        • Repeat Calendar alerts after a short time if not acknowledged.

          Since the only alert tone is a short beep, it is easy to overlook a reminder.
          If it isn't possible to choose a sound that unfailingly attracts your attention, it could at least pester you for a while.

          • Allow user to set custom range for events that show on calendar tile and lock screen

            would allow user to have live tile show two weeks worth of events rather than 48 hours. Or just show next X events

                  • Snooze 5 minutes before the meeting

                    Best feature for me with multiple meetings on a day. Outlook default time 30 mins, then with one touch remind 5 mins before the meeting.

                    • Hi! I have a suggesting about the Windows calendar app... To show not only the date, but also the week day on the apps tile... to save time.

                      To save time, not have to open the calendar app to see... (sometimes we can all lose track of the day...)

                      • The calendar deletes entries from previous months. Needs options for user to delete only, so you can go back to check items whenever.

                        Delete by user option on calendar. I need to go back to check entries in past months and it is always deleted already, very annoying. Please put in options for user to decide when to delete entry in calendar.

                        • monthly calendar too small - make it sizeable

                          Montly calendar view is so small words cannot be read. Make it able to be resized AND make a setting to have it start at a specific size.

                            • Calendar re-occurring appointments needs updating

                              I have a HTC HD7 Windows 7 phone, when using the Calendar function, I often need to put in appointments which re-occur each first Wednesday of the Month and every second Friday, I would like to see the Calendar updated so that it will allow a re-occurring appointments on 1. a selected day of the week e.g. 1st Monday of the month or 2nd Wednesday of the Month 2. A selected period e.g. to re-occur each 14 days.

                                • i absolutely need full calendar sync, that means all events from the past. this will determine if i stay with windows phone, or change os.

                                  there are many aspects of windows phone that are a giant step backwards from windows mobile, mainly the removal of any significant customization options, but i suppose i can get by until the os is improved. however, unless wp8/7.8 fixes the limited calendar sync functionality soon, i'll have no chioce but to choose a different os, and believe me, i really don't want to do that. please fix the calendar, i love windows and i want to stay.

                                    • synchronise categories from MS Exchange onto WP8 phone

                                      Outlook running on an Exchange Server allows the use of categories to differentiate for entries visually by colour. This needs to be synchronised with WP8 phones and displayed as different colours on the phone.

                                      • seeing a participant code

                                        With Windows Mobile 6.5, I could dial a conference line from an outlook appointment (hyperlink), then the notes of that appointment would show above the keypad, so I could see and dial the participant/host code. I was dissapointed when I found that Windows Phone 7 did not include this feature. I was even more dissapointed when I updated to Mango and found that this feature was still missing. I have downloaded a conference dial app, where you can preload conference lines. However, I have so many various appointments with clients, who all use their own conference lines, I would have…

                                        • allow me to open meeting detail directly from alert notification screen.. even while phone locked.

                                          I get calendar alert notifications but can only snooze ore dismiss... I want to be able to open without having to snooze and then going to my calendar yo view details. Many times the call-in con call detail is embedded but unavailable via alert notice.
