yes...they are. hmmmmm could it be because of this when its linked by birthday??? oh wait no its not. because the date was wrong as soon as it was synced and not linked to facebook. this was for all 3 contacts.

This would cause it to start at 11pm no 12am..

i only set up birthdays in the contact sheet. i have the default reminders turned off. i check the time setting on both outlook and the phone and bother are in the same zone.

Sorry to bring this thread back from months ago, but... did anyone ever figure this one out? I've had this issue for a while and have been meaning to fix it.

To be honest, I'm running a very very old backup. Maybe it's time to start fresh.

I use to have the problem with my WinMo phones. I ended taking the birthdays and anniversary dates off the contacts and put them on the calander. No problems since.

If you sync with google, just add your contacts birthdays to their contact profiles in Gmail, then in Google Calendar to go options, calendars, browse interesting calendars, more, then subscribe to "Contact's Birthdays and Events." All birthdays will show up on a separate calendar that you can toggle on and off.

I am having the same issue.... I was hoping it was because of Facebook... but I have noticed that only the right one pops up on the date, the ones that are linked to a Facebook account that is.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! The "interesting calendars" option is great too. Didn't know that existed. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to go through all birthdays and fix them one at a time since some are correct and others aren't. I must've tried to fix some of them at some point...and now I'm not sure which ones are actually fixed! What a pain...

I wonder if it has something to do with syncing with birthdays in Facebook cause I do have that enabled... Or maybe just ones that there was both a Facebook birthday entry and one already in my calendar.
