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.
Good evening everybody,
Well, until last week I used an HTC Elf (3450) and the SPB Diary.
The main purpose for me was to see my "rendez-vous" and tasks of the day on the same screen.
Now I have the Touch HD. I find the Touch Flow 3D very nice and easy to use. It's more than I want but ... how can we display the tasks ???
It seems it's not possible (for the moment ?)...
And I just can't believe that no one, here, is interested in displaying the Tasks on the Home screen just behind (or instead of) last calls for instance ...
I'd appreciate if someone could develop a plug-in or a stuff like that ...
Please ! Give my tasks back to me !!!
That's a good question. I would like to know that too
Would be great..
Year me too
I would also be very interested in displaying tasks in the home screen (the screen is so big, let's use it !).
It's so obviously useful.
And you can't even have a Task tab, according to HTC's FAQ :
Can I add Tasks as a tab in TouchFLO 3D ?
No, TouchFLO 3D does not support Tasks as one of its tabs.
As an alternative, you can put shortcut to Tasks in the Start Menu:
Go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Menus, check the Tasks box.

- I tought about something more simple : just a few more lines on the home screen or why not ... a new tab icon ?
I really don't understand what is the problem with those tasks and why it seems so difficult.
If HTC can't do that I'm sure someone here could ...
I have just allocated the left soft button to tasks until a better solution comes along.

On the home page, I have assigned the left soft key (normally phone) to launch my task manager (using the registry editor) so it is only one button from the front page.
Sorry if I was unclear in the first post.

TF3D tasks view ?
Hello,
I am wondering how to view my daily tasks /not appointments/ in some of TF3D tabs ?
Any solutions ?
10x in advance
yeaaaah .. i hope someone come up with that .. or HTC team develop a plugin or something .. it would be pretty neat
and a disadvantage actully ^_^
but still over-all a pretty good PPC
This would be a nice to have!
I think it's very surprising that this feature is not already available, it's the first thing I need to check everytime I look at my phone.
That would be really nice!
I tried installing the Xperia panels interface the other day, and was pleasantly suprised to see you can have tasks on your home screen there.
How wedded to the TF3D home screen are you? You could try the Xperia one.
If I could replace the "Call History" on the home tab for "x active tasks" or "x tasks to do today" would already be great!
Is it possible?

Hi all
I tried to search, but i didnt find anything.
I dont like the "people" tab, where i have to scroll trough my favorite contacts. I would prefere, i could directly access to the favorites contact, without scrolling (like the programm tab or like the action screen).
But i still want to keep TF3D...
Do anyone has an idea or knows how to solve this issue?
Thx mates,
gt
i dont know how to solve this but this is what i did
i installed icontact and i have it maped on the right softkey at the home tab.
it opens very fast, looks nice and is very finger friendly. There is a favorites tab as well but it does take 2clicks (1open icontact, 2 click on favorites) so not exactly direct
hope this helps
Thx Giannis86
Sounds good for me. Still much better as the actual solution.
I will give it a try...
actually i do have an idea now..
i just spent some time modding the actionscreen skin. I think it would be possible to fix the shortcuts to a contact (i need to do some research on how to do this ofc)
so, IF this is possible, you could have 9 contacts showing at the same time (i suppose more is possible if you made the icons smaller but its a lengthy process)

there is a program i used some time ago while making a theme for battery status that enabled me to dial from shortcuts.
usage:
dial.exe xxxxxxxxxxx
but it would require some aditional tool to configure, or some text editing.

I would also prefer something like this. Instead of People just have a tab called "Contacts" and you can scroll up and down with the TF3d movability instead of going into the actual contacts program which is so slow.
What about to port people tab from m2d?

Any solution for this request?!
I've found the easiest solve to this is to use iContacts Burt Edition 6.4.5 and map it to the right or left softkey on the homescreen. Then get TF3D config and remove the People tab fom manilla. You can set favorites with photos in icontactBE and you can configure it to open directly to the favorites list first with the iContact Config. tool.

At the moment am using Resco Contact Manager. I think it's really not bad, but there are many thing included, it isnt just a replacement for the people tab.
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

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 think u find u can download it NOW. i already have.
there are a few neat changes. at the moment i cant connect to the facebook using the widget over data, it seems to only work over wifi.
there is a 3d sms & email app but its in the options menu and does nit work if u press on the standard sms widget (takes u to normal wm sms/email screen). and dont see an option to change this but as its just been released they may bring out a update build with the bugs fixed and maybe the option added.
u can choose to have 1,3 or 5 screens in lifestyle and professional mode, u can also choose to only have pro or lifestyle.
there is a reflections on the carousal mode and it moves by the movement sensor but both of these wont work on the x1 as gpu acceleration is disabled by the shell on x1 and it does not have the accelerometer to move the carousel.

Will try it for sure, but I have never been a fan of it. It feels like someone else is telling me how to set up my homescreen. Same as the PointUI.

It is possible to get to the 3D viewed Mails and texts through those widgets. If you create a new widget "Text" or "Mail" stay with your finger on it till the soft vibration. Now you can select "Standard action" (may be different in english version) and then select 3D View. Does that work for you?
I like it. Not so much I can use, but still much better.
They updated weather widget.
Carousel is much faster...but I wld lyk the new carousel :.(
And widgets look different (I actually like the old connection widget better)...
all in all good, but still things I would like to see. What is nice as well is...you have a widget called "Picture/Photo frame". That makes your layout even better!

i have heard from the spb forum there is a prob on some handsets that when u reply it does not add the contact number on the text. there are a few bugs so i expect a update (3.5.1) in the next week or so to fix some of the more serious bugs.

If you use the single wdigets (not the 3in1 thingy you know from earlier versions) you can change the standard action. just select "edit layout" (i'm not 100% sure about the terminology used to name the icons since i'm on the german version) in the bottom right menu and click and hold the widgets. a special "widget menu" will show up, that has a "standard action"-button to change whether you want to use the 3D version rather than just open the messaging app.
its possible to get 3D message on the way in the post above, but its not user friendly. For example there is no NEW massage option, im using classic view,until they fix it... but,this shell is best that i have use...
Best WM Shell so far...
There are a few thinks I would like to suggest:
- New widget download service
- RSS support (widget or something)
- 3D messaging support with full HTML included
- Facebook, Twitter news (like sms or e-mail icons)...
Is it just on my phone or is the 3D message flipping very slow?
Not very..but you know, not fluid. It annoys me. Use the standard action until it's faster.
