Meeting displayed on today screen - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I have just upgraded from a Toshiba E570 to a new XDA II. My old E570 would only show me the next meeting on the day it was scheduled. My new XDA II is showing me a meeting which is not due for another 2 days. Is there a setting somewhere I can adjust?
Thanks[/b]

i would look under settings-today items and try and mark cal
and click options
otherwise i would try to install calplus insted

start--settings--today--items--calendar--options
Click next appointment and it will only show you the next appointment coming up... if you don't have an appointment for 2 days well I think it will still show you that appointment 2 days from now, otherwise it only shows the next appointment and not a few more after that... otherwise its calplus

Tim,
I would suggest a program called Dashboard.
It is avaliable from snoopsoft and only cost USD$13, which is about AUD$18.
It allows you to display as many days as you would like on the Today screen. It also will show you your tasks on the today screen instead of just the number of task.
It came free with my iPAQ 3800, and when I got my XDAII I found I couldn't live without it.
I extremely recommend it.

Is there a call minute monitor program available for xda2?

Hi
Is there a call minute monitor program available for xda2?
I mean a program that you can reset after each month and check how many minutes you are using.
THANKS[/b]
http://www.hudsonmobile.com/
I've bought this software, but I'm a little unsure whether it works ok or not.
The today plug shows, amongst other things, minutes used that day. I noticed that after I received a call lasting around 5 - 6 mins, my daily total had increased by that figure. Surely if it was an incoming call then it should not have counted those 5 - 6. If I had initiated the call myself then I would understand.
Any thoughts / contradictions?
Cheers
Anthony
Thanks for the link!
Try this one
This is my own today plugin (DKToday).
I wrote it because I havent found software with all function I need.
It show you:
- operator name
- signal strength
- today call time ( outgoing only )
- monthly call time
- missing call list
Finally you can call back directly from this today
This software is absolutely free of charge.
Regards and have a fun

In the US on TMo you can type in '#646#' and press TALK, you will get a notification that pops up on your screen in about 2 seconds that tells you how many minutes you have used. I was just in Singapore on singtel and it worked there, give it a try and see if it works for you.
Here is a link to the DKToday Plugin. A very nice piece of work for those looking for this type of tool.

Check the config options - two things are confusing - 1. by default it includes incoming calls which is weird and 2 - it 'rounds' up minutes by default too (so 30secs appears as a full minute). Other than that it's great
I have tried the dashboard before and it's just screwed up.
(funnysnake today phone) worked for me nicely. though i would love to try the one created by TD
Have used dkot's tool and it is pretty handy, thanks.
There are some nice programs to track cell phone usage... however it is surprising that they all completely ignore another important part of cellular usage that affects the bill... SMS...
I havent seen any program that also counts how many SMSs you have sent/received. This is also a major factor because sending/receiving SMSs are not free.
Is there any program that does this as well? or maybe the existing programs ought to include this functionality in them.
I don't know of any software that does this but one way around it would be to save sent messages in your sent folder. All sms folders show the no of messages in there.
You can then empty this each month...
Probably not what you are looking for but it might do till someone writes some software for it.
Hi,
I also installed dkot´s today plugin. Works very nice. Thanks for the work !
Only one minor problem: My month starts on every 22nd (elements -> options). But it seems that the "monthly minute counter" resets to the 1st after each softreset. The 22nd is still shown in the options but on the today screen I see all minutes for the month.
I then go to the options and type in 22 again. After returning to the today screen I get the correct minutes.

Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker
I am using "Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker" (find it on Pocketgear)
It is complete, no problems.
@Tekflow,
Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker seems to be a nice program, but it´s commercial ($14,99).
I like the little Freeware App

hi dkot,
thanx for the plugin. nice work, however i found following:
When i click operator name, it will power off my XDA2.
Phone icon is too big.
When i set count 30 seconds, today screen is refreshed in 30 seconds interval. so if i run another program and then close it, i see garbage onscreen till next interval.
thanx

Excellent !
A very nice, useful piece of software that actually works and does what it says in the tin.
As others have said the only other 'feature' would be an options tab that allows users to set the date their month starts, and maybe reset the call timers.
But as it is, it's fine, and it's one of my must have today plugins !!
Cheers

Marcus: I've already found and corrected problem you wrote about. Now monthly counter works correctly.
Buzz_lightyear:
It was my intention to turn off screen (it is not power off feature) by pressing operator name. I use it to turn off screen when I listen music. I forgot to say about it.
Screen is refreshed every 5 seconds. I know that the best way would be to refresh call counters after every call, but RIL doesn't send any message when call has been finished ( I tried it )
Icon size - I know that, but I'm not an artist and I couldn't find any other icon. If you have better (smaller) icon set, please send them to me and I will change them.
I'm really happy that all of you want to have dktoday on yours mdas. I will try to correct all errors you found and I hope I will show you next version before end of this year.
Thanx

hey Darek,
i like it very much... I wanted to ask, if it's a bug or feature, but it looked to me as a feature as well... that screen off...
Is it open source? I mean could you provide me with the source? I would like to change some stuff. Mainly face lifting...
buzz
Frankly say, I'm not ready for sharing source code with someone else yet. I have to make a lot of change in this software before. It is still in experimental state. Maybe in near future.
Here is my Christmas gift for all of you (see attachment). This is new dll with my today. To install it uncheck my today and simple copy it to windows folder. That is version 1.6. I corrected Marcus's problem, changed options dialog view and moved 'ok' button.
I cannot prepare full cab file because I do it from my pda.
Merry Christmas for all of you from Poland.
Darek
I cannot add attachment using pda!!! How can I do it?

Calendar - Strange behaviour

I have the TYTN Sim Free and noticed the following problem..
On the day of an appointment the Today screen showed the time OK but indicated "tomorrow" even though the date was correct in the calendar and the time and date set correctly in the TYTN.
It was my first appointment so maybe that was a problem.
Anyone else experience this.
Also this is my first post so HI to everyone and what a great forum.
Now I must go and look around a s I need to find the best Navigation software / BT combo.

Multiple Today Screens

Ok, this is what i want.
I have my default today screen with all my plugins running. At the top(or side) must be tabs (somethings like spdpocketplus) to more than one today screen. Lets say TodayTab1 displays my System monitor and weather, TodayTab2 displays my RSS and Blogs and shedule and TodayTab3 displays my Mail Boxes and Sms's.
But spb pocket plus doesnt support this tipe of tabs or does it? Is it possible?

I use wisbar advance desktop that allows multiple desktops and speeds up the device by putting only one or two plugins on each desktop. Also allows text tabs to link you to each of the other desktops.

Look up JGUI.

Some days ago I was looking for a good today calendar plugin and got some answers from the forum, I'm still trying them but in a trial I found that Pocket Breeze (from SBSH) in it current version can actually do what you want.
This software allows to have TABS with diferent info in each one...calendar, task, notes, messages... and also, you can add your customs tabs including on it any today pluginn you have installed; that way yo can have a TAB with the weather info, or any other app you can view on the normal today screen; even the spb pocketplus you have can be view in one of the TABS if you want...
You can download a trial version of the software before buy it in order to see if that is what you are looking for...so far now I have not have any problem of performance using it..
Best regards;

Thanks Daniel! This is what i was looking for!! Works good.. Just one problem, this thing kinda slows down my phone allot.. i only have two screens set.. Dono if this is right?! Anyone willing to test on an HTC TyTn for me!?!? plz. just wana know if its slow as mine..
How quick is the actual switching?
Instant, near instant, roughly X seconds?
Thanks guys.
V
oh sorry.. from today1 to today2 about 7-10seconds. Backwords about 2seconds..
Maybe there is a regkey that can increase the memory use for this app or something to make it switch more instant like.. ??!!
That may depends what you used in today1 and today2. Mind listing the stuff you had in today1 and today2? 7-10 seconds are really slow. And, does it happen all the time while switching from today1 to today2 or does it have a cache thing that, once you did it, the next switching becomes faster.
Ok. Oh, there doesnt seem to be caching..
On today1 I have the following:
1) Date (Default one)
2) Calender (Default one)
3) Messaging (Default one)
4) IP Dashboard
5) Phone Dashboard
6) Resco Today Plugin
7) Device lock (Default one)
On today2 I have:
1) Wireless (That registry hack to display the connections status)
2) WeatherPanel ( I disabled it to test, but its still slow!)
3) Device Lock (Default one)
Well, can anyone else confirm that SK Today Commander slows down your TyTn when having 2 or more today screens?
Yes, I does seem to be slow in switching. I installed the trial version last night and only have 2 screens. I am using the buttons in the task bar and when activating a change I will see Help or contacts flash on the screen before it actually switches Today Screens. Not sure if I want to pay the money or not for the app.
try JGUI MoreTodays

Thanx @ samsonib for also testing.. Its a bummer, that app looks and works very nice, just the slowness thats the downside!
SkizZO, im downloading the app now to test! Thanx!
ok, i just installed JGUI MoreTodays! It also works, but its the same as the other one.. Its also damn slooowwww.. Dont think this device was made to handle more than one today screen.. Looks like there is no app out there that can do an instant switch to a second today screen..
I downloaded MoreTodays! and it seems to be a little faster than the Today Commander and I don't get the flashes of the help screens, etc. I guess I will play with it for the 5 free days before the trial ends before I go back to one crowded screen. Thanks.
Well I thought I had 5 days to use MoreTodays!, but this morning a message popped up saying that the trial had expired and I could only use 1 screen until I removed trial and reloaded the full version. Anyone else have this issue?

Getting the calender to show more then just today's appointments?

Any one know how? Old HTC Touch used to show the next three - this one only shows today's - am I missing some setting?
Thanks folks!
Hello!
Nobody knows?
Maybe it´s only the German Rom ... ?
I have the same problem ...
There has been a long discussion over at pocketpc.ch about this issue. My german version also only shows appointments up to the next day. Maybe there will be a fix in future firmware updates.

Minimize the clock by moving your finger upwards on the screen.
Now it should show 5 meetings (only the next day though)
Still, it bugs me that it can't show more with a large clock, since it's a lot of empty space there.
As said before, probably a bug.

How cool is that, didn't know you could minimise the clock
My UK model is the same! Another bug I found is when the days event has passed, it still shows as today! For example, a birthday will be a day old, and yet still claim to be today. I have to exit TF3D and restart to update. Anyone else suffer from this?!

Yes, I've seen the same problem. It did it with no other software installed, so evidently a TF3D bug.
If we all take the time to report bugs to HTC then hopefully they'll fix them!
Not that I've had a response back to my reports!
Thanks all for the thoughts. Like i said it works fine on the Touch and I cant believe its that complicated to show the next three appointments whenever they may be......hopefully someone will create a tweak for it.
This problem actually persists even if I turn off TouchFlo, i.e. the original windows 6.1 does also just show today/tomorrow.
Upon entering the Calendar - it actually shows the same. If I recall right, previous versions had a list of coming appointments.
Perhaps the problem is not TouchFlo-related after all?
Yup you're right, previously you could see three upcoming appointments, your next appointments no matter how far in the future they are
Same sentiments here, would be great if the Today screen can show upcoming appointments, regardless of how far future the dates be, not just for today and tomorrow only. My o2zinc has this useful feature.
Hope HTC can do a mini program like the o2 has it in o2plus.
disregard.
That would be useful, be able to see today and future appointments. If we could see 3/4 that would be superb! It would give us a head start to buy a birthday gift.
this is not ideal but can be done using the following.
install second today http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907
this way you can run the standard windows mobile screen as well as touchflow. but that too will only display 1 appointment, so install calendar plus http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/6
this is a simple plugin which adds the feaures your looking for, display multiple days of appointments on the today screen.
as for the inability of touchflow, to refresh itself, so that yesterday's apointment does not remain as today. galarm has the ability to fix this bug, by waking up the device everyday at 12a.m. to refresh. as it's a great alarm program http://freewareppc.com/clock/galarm.shtml
although i think that if u try one of the new ROMs all these issues should have been solved.
good luck

Today Screen doesn't refresh

Hello to everybody
I have an annoying problem with my Today screen. When I put an "All Day event" on my calendar. My Today screen shows it. That's ok.
My problem is that the next day. This "All Day event" is still displayed to my Today Screen. Normally at 00:00:00 that Today Screen should be refreshed. But it doesn't do by itself. I have switch off then on the TF3D or a soft reset every morning to refresh it.
Here is my technical info:
TF3D: 1.3.35350.1_1630.38
ROM: 1.14.406.3 (22273) FRE
Date ROM: 10/24/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Protocole: 52.49a.25.26U
I went to HTC website and they don't have any hotfix to resolve my problem.
Do you have a hotfix for this ?
Do I have to change ROM ?
Can you help me please ?
Same here. I don't need to have an 'All day' event, even the 2hs events don't disappear from Today's screen (well, sometimes are refreshed, sometimes not).
Also,TF3D gets restarted sometimes when I turn on the screen, it says 'TF3D is being loaded...'. It's a nice interface, but got a few bugs.
Ahh !!! that mean I'm not fool ! I am not the only one to have that problem.
I didn't notice that TF3D reload by itself. But as you said, since my last hard reset, it reload alone sometimes.
Do you think that we are the only two people of that planet having these troubles ? Are our TouchHD broken or what ? Is it weak to think that HTC can change our mobile seeing the garantee ?
This problem is really really annoying to me !
Okay... I found out what was wrong...
It's time problem !
On my pc, the time was set to GMT+1 Rome and on my ppc it was set to GMT+1 Paris
I've set to the same time and desactivated the "Automatic change time setting" in phone settings.
Then a little syncro.
Now everything refresh nicely
I have a similar problem, however more related to syncing. About 2 days ago my blackstone (whie charging via usb) displayed a message that changes have been made to the server and all the data has to be resyncronised. I was offline and not doing anythink related to syncing. After this, all my full day apointments were extended to the day after too.
For example my friend's birthday on 7th of Feb is displayed in the 8th of Feb Agenda too, despite that in the settings the appointment is full day only.
Had the same issue with my wizard before. Seems to be a calendar issue, since my PC outlook shows everything normally. I've tried several hard resets but it didn't work...
Any help?

Very good finding! Thank you!
That should work, but I have an additional problem... the timezone that is set in my PC cannot be replicated in the HD, because it has been created as 'custom time zone'. That was because Argentina decided, without previous notice, to get the clock one hour forward some months ago. Win XP didn't support that time change, so in my company they developed a hot fix that created a new time zone.
But thanks for the clue! I will try to solve this playing a bit with timezones.
