Overloading your calendar?

[badchad]

This may be a silly question.

In the last two days, I have found that when I attempt to load the stock WM calendar, the program loads, but then freezes.

I hard reset my ppc and the problem goes away. HOWEVER, if I hard reset, then sync, the problem immediately returns (e.g. if I open the calendar in "week view" and I attempt to scroll through appointments, the calendar freezes).

Because this happens immediately following a hard reset + syncing, it seems to me that SOMETHING syncs between my PPC and the my desktop to cause the lockup. Any ideas? Is it possible that I have too many appointments (past and present) overloading the calendar? if so, how can I delete my past appointments to free up space? Any help is appreciated.

There should be a setting in the active syns to only add events back so far. I know there was when using active sync with exchange at work. You might try lowering in down. I think it is available from the options within active sync on the phone. I think the max is 2 weeks, but you can try lower.

Okay, but for future reference, is there any way to delete old appoints/tasks etc. off my ppc to prevent this frm happening again?

I don't know of a way to delete all old, but you can delete them ind. Or you might try deleting all old from comp and then syncing to remove them.

Quick update: This was a very odd situation. I finally determined (through numerous hard resets and a few hours) that my lockups were the result of a single appointment.

For some reason, if I used the default calendar in "week view", and attempted to use the D-pad to navigate through appointments, my device would freeze on the very same appointment. I have no idea why. I'm thinking that it may have been due to all the text listed in the "notes" area of the appointment (it was a seminar with a long meeting title).

I deleted it and my problems resolved *shrug*.

That is a little bizarre. You would think it could handle it. Who knows.

still. is there any way to purge old items on my cell phone calendar without deleting stuff on the original calendar-because I'm using gooSync and don't wanna delete my old google calendar appointments? even if it's a program-that'd work too

I haven't seen anything other than telling it to only sync the past x amount. I think it should remove anything before that though. Might give it a shot. Although that setting may not be in gooSync, it is in active sync
