I've got an appointment set up in Outlook on the PC for 7pm-11:30pm this evening.
When I synchronised, the home screen on the HD says "Tomorrow 19:00 - 23:30" instead of "Today"
If I tap the appointment on the home screen to enter the calendar program, it correctly shows under today's date, with nothing tomorrow.
Possible bug in TouchFlo ?
Anyone else seen this ?
Or am I being really dumb and missing something obvious ?
EDIT : After a soft reset, the word "tomorrow" vanishes. So it looks like TouchFlo failed to update the home screen properly until the device was reset.
my bug is different
I have a different bug, no mine doesnt seem to do what you say... as far as I can see...
My bug is that when you set in options to always display day, week or month view and you quit calendar and start it again, bang it goes back to Agenda view (which is rubbish)... is there a fix to get it to stay in what its asked to stay in.

I'm seeing the same thing. When selecting the calendar or appointment from touchflo it always takes you to the agenda view as opposed to the default view you select in the calendar.

I was having the same issue.
I needed to reset my device (Pressing power button until it gives the pop up to turn off) and once it came back now it is working fine..
I can set it which way I want now and the setting is sticking...
...and more:
I got all of them... calender always opening in agenda view, a TOMORROW instead of a TODAY until reset, AND another one: IF you activate lets say THREE alarms, only the first one shows up on the today screen, no matter what time it is... So if it the first alarm is over, my Touch ELF's display would change to show to the next open one, but the HD does NOT. Ridiculous...
I see 4 every day all the call.!?Sync by activesync.How to delette this sync?
I too am bothered with this problem.
I want my calendar view set to Month view. So I've choosen Month view form the options and everything seems OK. However, everytime I choose calendar from the home screen it briefly starts in Month view, and then opens the agenda view.
I've tried everything I could find on the net to solve this problem, including:
- Adjusting the calendar to month view and afterwards soft-resetting my HD. Still the same problem.
- Adding -vm to the shortcut in the calendar shortcuts in the Windows directory and in the Windows/Startup directory. this opens the calendar in month view, but from the Home screen still no success.
- Searching the registry for relevant settings, but i'm not knowledgeable enough yet to find the correct ones.
By the way, if I set my calendar view to Day or Week, the same type of problem occurs.
Since I really don't like the Agenda view this really starts to annoy me.
Any other thoughts out there on something I could try?

i have the same problem! does anyone know abetter more fingerfriendly calendar program with tf3d integration?
Deixi
Strange stuff...
I don't have the problem everybody describes, but instead next day appointments show with a DS_TOMORROW: prefix instead of Tomorrow: The font is big and it occupies quite a lot of space, looks buggy and pretty annoying.
With regard to a finger friendly calendar - I used Agenda One, but it doesn't work from TF3D Home screen by default - the link needs to be edited, and I can't find the thread where the way to do it was described.
With regard to opening the calendar in the "right" view, it should be relatively easy to fix.
Searching the registry won't help because the links in RF3D seem to be hardcoded - this is the bad news.
The good news is that there's a Manila Patcher which allows to change things. If you know the arguments (somebody mentioned -vm), you can change those.
With regard to today's events prefixed with "Tomorrow", it seems that this is indeed a Manila bug, it just doesn't refresh data. You don't have to reset the device, disabling and enabling Manila is enough. This is not a workaround of course, because resetting is actualy easier, just to reiterate that TF3D is at fault.
Not 100% sure, but if I'm using the device around midnight then TF3D doesn't roll the appointments. If I'm not then it does.
Could be a complete red-herring though. . .
Does HTC have any bug tracking system available for the public, at least for submitting bugs?
Thanks for the tip on SSMaPa vangrieg!
Installed it, added "-vm" in the arguments box belonging to calendar.exe, and after some messages I am now enjoying my calendar in glorious Month view!
And before I forget, the other possible arguments are: -vd for Day view, -vw for Week view, -vy for Year view and of course -va for the dreaded Agenda view
By the way, this is what HTC Support mailed me after just one day's wait:
In order to solve your problem, you will need to hardreset your device. All data and settings will be deleted, so please back-up all your data first. Remove your SIM and memory card and go to Start, Settings, System, Clear Storage and follow the on-screen instructions.

Might try that some day, but for now this seems to be werking fine!

I too have this problem, and the thing at fault here is apparently the Touch Flo 3D interface. Just as described in the original post, the calendar app itself displays everything correctly, but on the Today Screen in Touch Flo, "tomorrow" entries do not change over to "today entries" when the date changes, i.e. it fails to update.
A soft reset does indeed correct the problem, but it is also sorted out if you change the calendar content in some way. This morning, for instance, I made a simple edit (changed the location variable) in one of the entries, and PRESTO! - the entries on the Today screen were properly presented.
Now, I'm not a programmer, but it seems to me that the Today screen doesn't recognise a date change as something that should trigger an update. Shouldn't it be able to force this somehow?
Speaking about Calendars, does anyone know how to change the text color of the topic while on the TFLO3D home screen.
It is a grey color and it makes it impossible to read.
Hi there, I have the same bug with Touch Flo, but no need to reset the phone. Just go in Start / Settings / Today, untick Touch Flo, do OK, this closes the Touch Flo applications. Then rego there to tick Touch Flo, this runs Touch Flo with the right information.
HTC advised me to hard-reset the device. The problem continues.
Soft resetting touch-flo does seem to cure the problem of the immediate appointment, but it is not a permanent fix.

I have another bug in the calendar of the Touch HD.
When I create an all-day event with a reminder, it just doesn't remind me : no ring, no vibe, just the screen that is switched on, and the pop-up appear. But it works fine with a regular appointment. Do you have the same bug ?
I don't know about you guys but i wanted to test this out so i entered some false appointments for 3 days in a row and i'm on the 2nd day and it has worked wonderfully.
It doesn't say 'today' but the top rows are showing today and has 'tomorrow' for the the appointment tomorrow.
I waited till midnight and it did roll over.
Or is this problem only via syncing from Outlook or something?
I have entered a few bogus meetings for the next day on the phone itself to test out your theory and on midnight the Tomorrow tag simply stayed there.
So once again I have no idea what triggers the bug.
No matter what I setting I use under what type of calendar view to show me when the calendar is first opened, it always shows the agenda view.
The weird thing is that at first it does open to whatever the setting is (for example week or month), and then in a split second it switches to agenda view. I have to manually tap until the desire view appears.
The setting still remains on "week" but the program still shows the agenda.
I also have this issue.
My device is the HTC Touch HD (by O2 Germany).
But if you start the calendar from the start menu, it will display correctly the selected view.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Same issue here - most annoying!
guys
Are you taping on an event on the home screen (TFlo3d) ? (as in how are you starting it )

yes, there is an upcoming event. Nevertheless, it shouldn't open the agenda view by default.
Hmm, after starting this thread, now I am wondering if that is just the way it works. I hadn't realized that opening the calendar from the Start menu does open it in the correct/desired view.
Do you guys remember if from the home screen it always opened to the agenda? Or did it used to open to the desired view?
I'm doubtful now - can't remember if maybe it always worked this way.
Hi,
I think it's supposed to work this way. When you open it from the Today Screen it always uses this view, hence the name: Today Screen

Rolf
Well there is a solution for Pocket informant
check out wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Useful_Software
SSMaPa:
Now I am sure that the default Calandera has options as well but not sure what they are not werr to find them.
Calendar
Definitely:
When opening from Today, it always opens Agenda view.
When opening from Start -> Programs -> Calendar opens as ordered in Tools -> Options.
Doesn't like it, let's hope for a Registry hack.
Rgds,
This annoyed me too... It does indeed seem to be an issue with Touch Flo 3d, and the calendar link on the Today screen being set to always start the calendar in day view.
So, supposed this is a Touch Flo issue rather than a Windows Mobile issue, I made a little google search and came up with the following from htcwiki.com:
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Start+Calendar+in+Month+View
I haven't tried it myself yet (past my bedtime as it is ), but will probably do so tomorrow. It seems like a simple enough operation. The instructions are for setting the calendar to month view as default, but I guess changing the parameter from "vm" to "vw" would set it to week mode. That seems logical, right?
Use the search funtionality.
You need the file ssmapa.exe
With that you can modify the manile.exe entry which is overruling the wm setting.
search and you will find.
or when you need someone else to do it for you.... link

I tried the ssmapa. It did not link correctly so I did a full restore. However, in my home page, the calendar now only shows a link "Calendar" but does not show the calendar items. It used to show my two or three of my schedules in the original touch flow 3D. I even did a hard reset but it did not help. Can someone advise how i can get it back?
Thanks, appreciate any help.
Use MortScript for starting Pocket Informant in Calendar View:
runwait ("\Program files\WebIs\PocketInformant\PITab.exe", "5")
sleep (2000)
runwait ("\Program files\WebIs\PocketInformant\PITab.exe", "5")
(Perhaps you have to modify the path....)

I've just upgraded to the official 6.5 ROM.
If I select the Weather tab, after a moment's pause the screen changes to one just showing HTC in the centre, then returns to the Today screen.
If I click on My Location under the flippy clock, this seems to take me to the Weather tab again, and the same happens.
Under 6.1 I had added locations to the Weather app, following instructions found on the forum.
Can anyone please help me get the Weather functionality back?
Thanks!
Hi
can anyone try to explain me how this " my location thing " works?
One the home screen right under the clock I can see just "my location" text a thats it..I am unable to find any information on the internet.. Any time I try update it manualy from weather menu I get message about communication problem..But when I manualy added few other locations there is no problem at all..Just "my" location info is still empty..Does anybody know how to tell my bloody phone where am I ? I know it sounds funny but something is definetely wrong..Thanks for any answer..
Yeah and I am running stock version of HTC WM 6.5 recently downloaded from their site..
I am just wondering when they will fix all those problems with new ROM. Like crazy clock when locking my device or flashing light notifications..I would rather wait for new ROM few more days then have problems like this..

On your homescreen you can click the "My location" and from there select what location should be seen on the homescreen. Go to the weather tab first to add your city.
OMG that stupid I am ? Thanks very much m8 ..
I've got My Location set OK, but still can't get the Weather tab to function at all - I just get returned to the Today screen.
Hmm, maybe im doing something wrong. I cant get my location to update in the main weather tab but i can add citys as the other user said. However if i click the "my location" tab under the clock on the main screen, it takes me to the weather tab of my location which is blank as it wont update for some connection error but i cant see how i can make one of the other citys i have added to appear on my homescreen?
I couldn't get this to work either... but I've got it working now... for some reason nothing works until you go to weather tab --> menu --> settings and select " download weather automatically"
After that, if you select "my location" as your clock... it automatically updates to where you actually are... neat huh!

Still can't get Weather to work - if I go to the Weather tab I don't get a Menu option, I get a screen with HTC on the default background, options of Calendar and Contacts at the bottom, and just above these, on the right, a small picture of a generic 'computer' - as if to signify it's processing something.
Then, a few seconds later, I'm dumped back on the start screen.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? I did add cities to weather under 6.1 - could this be anything to do with it?
Thanks!

hmmm, sounds like manila/sense is actually crashing when you go to the weather tab, as the screen you describe just sounds like the blank today screen with no ui on top of it, then it is restarting tf3d and hence bringing you into home screen... odd
Unfortunately, trying to fix the problem I fear I've bricked the phone!
Thinking the issue was that I had edited the 2330fc3c_manila file (to add my location to the Weather cities) I searched for a 'virgin' copy, found what I thought would do the trick in a thread on this forum and installed it.
After this, and a reset, the phone wouldn't launch HTC Sense - the screen invited me to tap to launch it but wouldn't go further...so I tried to restore from a pre-6.5 backup.
Unless anyone knows a way of reviving it, the Topaz is on its way to the menders this afternoon!
I assume you did a hard reset and not just a soft reset?
Yep, tried that - it won't go past the initial screen.
Just reflash a rom. that should fix it

One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks
Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.
And it works very well too
AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.
Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.
why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys
I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.
Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.
My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks
My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!
I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?
Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.
You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box
http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/editor/separator.gif
I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp
Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.
I am using Mortscript quite often and it gets triggered by PhoneAlarm profiles at a specific time. I'm trying to find a way to get my weather in HTC Sense to update via a program or a command line. Is it possible?
Currently I do it via Mortscript's mouse clicks but it requires me to be on the weather panel screen in order for the update to complete. If it moves to the main screen before update is done, the update terminates.
I have a SendReceiveAll program that works great. I just need something like that for the weather app.
Tips anyone? TIA.
Hi
Search at pocketpc[dot]ch for "zeitgesteuertes-wetterupdate".
There is a complete MortScript solution.
But I'm still searching for the command-file.
