I am one of the millions of iPhone users in the world. I think it is the best mobile phone ever, but it is definitely not perfect. These following two things have always been my two biggest complaints about the iPhone and now that I have started using calDAV for my calendars the first is even more annoying.
1. Color coding of calendars.
The way in which the iPhone assigns colors to particular calendars is in order of appearance. In other words the first calendar to show up on the phone gets blue, for example. In the current release of the firmware the colors do not always appear in the same order. I have two seperate calendars for me and one for my wife and one for birthdays and one for church. I like to have assigned colors for each of these across gCal, iCal, and the iPhone.
I was able to work this out through strategic syncing of my iPhone but now calDAV doesn’t let me not sync my main calendar and therefor I appear to be stuck with Red which is supposed to be my wife’s color.
Apple, please oh please create an option to manually select calendar colors on the iPhone. This would make my life so much prettier.
2. Contact ringtone management.
The main problem is that I am unable to assign a ringtone to an entire group of people. The contact manager allows me to have groups like family, friends, enemies, and so on, but it does not allow me to assign ringtones to the group.
In addition to that I am unable to assign ringtones to contacts outside of my iPhone. All of my contacts are on my laptop, why can’t I assign the ringtone there. That would be so much more convenient.
Apple, please allow group ringtones.
