Customer questions and answers for samsung Samsung Sunburst™ Touchscreen Cell Phone
Question
How can I make longer entries in the Calendar?
The length of fields in the Calendar cuts off information when I synch with Outlook - for example, the name of a committee, or an address for a meeting away from my office. Is there a way to allow more characters in those fields?

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out.
We recommend taking a look throughout the Android Market for an alternative calendar option that may allow you to do this: https://market.android.com/?hl=en
Just noticed that phone shows Jan. 3, 2011 as date, and wrong time. Shut off phone and turned it back on. Phone said time was being reset, but still has wrong date and time.

I need to be able to program meeting dates that occur on a specific day of the week and repeat monthly/weekly etc. Can I get Samsung calendar software that will allow me to do this on my A-697 Samsung cell phone? Otherwise this phone is useless to me. Your NPS software is equiped to recognize such appointments when transferring info from the phone to the PC. How can I accomplish this appointment function capability on my A-697 phone? This is the second request on this topic.

What PC sync software will work with my phone other than New PC Studio?
Samsung New PC Studio does not work unless it is installed via an administrator account and run under the same administrator account, making it essentially useless to anyone who does not enjoy opening their computer to the entire universe without restriction. What other applications will sync my PC with my Samsung SHG-A697, without such an unbelievably absurd security risk?
Operating Systems tried: MS Windows XP Pro SP3, MS Windows XP Home SP3
