Hey there.
For your first Q, go to settings, personal, today, items, calendar and tap options on the left. You have the options to display upcoming events and all day events.
For the second I don't know
Cheers!

i feel like such a noob. thx for the advise but still no luck. either the rom is just messed up or its just ****e windows calender.
its just not user friendly like windows usually is; in my eyes anywayz.

calendar reminder

dear friends, i have had this problem previously on other winmobile devices and now on the THD. simply & suddenly i stop getting reminders for my calendar appointments, even though they still do appear on my today screen( i use the windows mobile standard today screen). no change in my notification or sounds settings, and despite a softreset. on my old phone imate ultimate 6150, this problem used to disappear after syncing with outlook on my pc, and this time it worked too. but honestly it's beyond me why this happens. yes the problem has been solved, but until one realises what has happened u could miss out on an important appointment. thanks
any ideas?
memaid and sktools have options to rebuild the notifications queue.
Alternatively, search here on notifications - the problem sounds like this queue/list is corrupt.
I had similar problems and the memaid solved it fine.
Well I've just read inanother zforumsomewhere and it works.
Change the time on your today screen, to the visiting time. Accept all changes
Then set it back to home time, and accept all changes.
Viola! the reminder starts working fine again.
But, after a day or two, things are back to where they began. So you wil need a reminder to remind you to do this procedure once in a while

Appointment reminder alarm

Hi All,
I am new to the touch HD since last week and I must say I am very impressed.
One thing I can't seem to get to work is when I set an appointment in the calendar with a reminder say 15 minutes before it shows on the home screen but I want an alarm to go off to remind me if it's tucked away in my pocket.
Anyone help.
P.S I have searched the boards but couldn't find the info

A Couple of Questions for the HD2 gurus...

as a happy HD2 owner, i have the following questions, if possible to be done:
1. Is it possible to link a Facebook Profile to a contact with full finctionality Except Contact PHOTOs! i have good photos of people in address book that i dont want them to be replaced with Facebook photos.
2. is it possible to open a TAB IN BACKGROUND in Opera!! [like opera PC]
3. My Lock screen does not show 3 locks [i.e as in the manual] when there is a message or a notification! it has only one sliding lock showing numbers of notifications. i.e. no direct unlock that goes to messages or so...
4. is there a good SMALL software that can TURN on/off Airplane mode automatically at scheduled times?
thanks in advance....

1. Yes, in the contacts option you can choose whether it uses Facebook, Outlook or another photo for the contact.
2. Not that I know of
3. You click on the main lock when you have unread messages/emails/missed calls and more slidey dudes come up that you can slide to go to the appropriate tab.
4. Probably... can't help there.
thanks alot. as for slides to unlock, nope, they dont come up.
one more question though
5. i cant find a way to "SEND / Recieve " all email accounts at once! each has to be done separately!!!
Sync email send/receive
4. The send key if held, takes you to a menu where you can choose to turn off phone(airplane). It is definitely possible to do it on a schedule. I saw it once but wasn't interested due my concern about power management gremlins.
5. There is an app called email scheduler by Gundensoft, see the website.
You can set scheduling for each account, and turn them on and of when you want.
I know you want a way to do them all at once manually, but I can only offer this suggestion to do it automatically.

When you edit a contact if you click on the area their picture is in the top right corner it will come up with a menu on where to upload the new photo. Hope that helps.

How to view emails?

Hi, I have set up my AOL email with the Leo, and it is finding its loading them fine, but I can just seem to flick through them, If I tap/double tap them, nothing happens and so the new email count isn't going down.
What do I do ?

Try this, lock your phone go to start --> lock in the left corner, and the slide to unlock it... That'll do the trick ;-)

One small issue that's a bit irratating for me is I've got 2 accounts set up to send e-mails to my phone and when I see that I've received e-mails and go to check them it:
a) Doesn't necesarilly start off showing the account that's received an e-mail..would be better if it automatically highlighted the account that's received the most recent e-mail..
b) When I'm in the right account it'll show a count of how many new e-mails I've received but when I read one and delete it it won't go to the next e-mail received and I'll have to flick through the remainder to get to the next new one before opening it up to read..What I'd like to happen is after reading/actioning any e-mail it automatically goes to the next newest e-mail and not any older ones that I've still got sat in my in-box.
If anyone knows how to resolve those minor niggles I'd be gratefull to hear from you.

HD2 Noobie Questions

Hello all. Im new to this forum. just got my HD2 couple of weeks ago and had a couple questions. The manual that comes with it is pretty vague.
Wanted to know first of all how to kill programs thats running (also is there a way to tell whats currently running). Theres not always an X to close out some programs.
Also I noticed a when I click on notifications when I receive a new message, there is a line that says "TMobile data" and it is constantly counting up. Is this something I need to turn off/on? I have the unlimited data plan.
Ive had the hardest time transfering my contacts over from my blackberry. I tried the sync thing and outlook but its not to my satisfaction. last name shows first and some email adx dont show up and birthdays and addresses are missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Am I the only one or does the speaker on the HD2 suck? I cant hear a thing when i mtalking to someone with the volume turned to max. If I switch to speaker I can hear them but then it's dostorted. i dont like having to wear earbuds.
I copied over some jpg files to use as wallpaper on my HD2 and some of them are not showing up. Also how can I make it to where the wallpaper does not tile?
Thanx In Advance.

winmo has a built in task manager. Browse to windows and find the file taskmgr.lnk (right next to taskmgr.exe)
Click and hold taskmgr.lnk, choose copy to, and select windows/start menu (you have to expand the windows folder by clicking the +, if you click the word windows it will copy it to windows)
Now you can go back to teh homescreen, and assign a quickink to taskmgr which lets you see whats running and close apps etc.
There are others available, but that will get you started.
Also I noticed a when I click on notifications when I receive a new message, there is a line that says "TMobile data" and it is constantly counting up. Is this something I need to turn off/on? I have the unlimited data plan.

Thats how long your data connection has been connected... not necessarily doing anything, just connected. If you are unlimited, then dont worry about it for now. There are apps that auto disconnect etc. Do some searching

first off, in outlook, set the default behavour to first/last.
Second, see THIS thread for a changer that will change all your current contacts.
Third dont forget that last/first will still be the behavour on the hd2 for new contacts, so when you are creating teh contact, scroll to the bottom and click more and choose first/last
(or personally i put the whole name into the first name field.)
