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.

Hello, does anyone has the same the problem as me:
I manually set the calendar to default to month view. However when I tap on calendar in TF3D it opens it up to today's agenda. It does however start in Month view but then will snap immediately to todays view.
It is probably probably a bug from HTC (because when you disable TF3D it works, you have the month view).
I would be very grateful if any of you could help me to fix this bug.
idem here
Got the same problem. I'm currently using (ROM) SwiftBL Diamond ROM 7.5 Full [16MBPP].
Yes, it happens, with any ROM I've tried. Pretty annoying...
for the millionth time people....
A. use the search, this topic has been disgussed in at least 10 other threads¬
B. this is NOT a bug, HTC MEANT IT TO BE LIKE THIS. when you open the calender from TF3D it will always open it in the AGENDA view as the home page of TF3D is designed to show you appointments and activities for the day you are in!
Why dont you try this..
Open the calender from the Programs list and not from TF3D... it opens it in the default you have set it to right?
The only workaround is to pin the calender to the start menu or the TF3D programs list and open it from there.
NOW PLEASE NO MORE THREADS ABOUT THIS...
... AND NOW IM ONTO MY GRIPE WHICH IS PEOPLE THAT WANT TO OPEN THE FM RADIO WITHOUT THE HEADSET..... IDIOTS, WHILE THEY ARE AT IT THEY SHOULD TURN THEIR TV ON WITHOUT THE AREAL PLUGGED IN!!!
Try Dutty's rom release, he "fixed" this problem. it's bloody awesome

what a negative post...whats up with people losing their cool so easily..
personally, EVEN if HTC meant it this way, i dont find it useful for my use. I would rather open it directly from my home tab without having to go to the start menu or program list.
Maybe there is a registry tweak or editing in the manila to make it load a certain page at startup
If duttys rom takes care of it proves that its possible to be fixed
I am a smartfone newbee, I got my HD today, got most things set up OK, but cannot get my apointments to show on the homescreen.
have gone into Today, appearance is set to HTC Black if I go to Items the only one ticked is TouchFLO 3D I have tried ticking some of the other boxes then OK but othing changs. If you go back into today only the one box is ticked again. the move and option buttons are gryed out.
Anyhelp would be appeciated.
Touchflo3D replaces the today screen, so when it's active you can't have any other option running in the list of today items. If you want to customize the today screen in a more traditional way, start by disabling Touchflo 3D and soft-reset your phone.
hm ... isnt it possible to customize tf3d via mod so i can add appointments to my today-screen?
if its possible, which mod do i need?
There shouldn't be any need to modify the Tf3D screen.
I have several appointments daily showing on the Home Screen.
To see the remainder, all you do is finger swipe Up.
Beards
Beards - I'm inpressed by the fact that you can finger-swipe up and see more of your appointments. TouchFlo will only display 2 current appointments and 1 all-day event. How do you get it to display more appointemnts, then?
Your answer will no doubt please loads of HD users who face this same problem.

Absolutely nothing..... I've just sat here generated 1 test appointment for today, 3 test appointments for tomorrow and an all day event tomorrow.
All 5 show up on my Home Screen.
Beards
hm ... i think i made a slight mistake
i actually meant tasks not appointments ....
afaik its not possible with the tf3d home screen ... unfortunately
but about appointments ...
where can i set a all-day event?
and why are only appointments of today being displayed?
of today and tomorrow. to make all day appointment check settings when making a new one
That works for the following day, but won't look beyond. That is the real issue.
I had a plugin on my TYTN2 that would show appointments up to seven days, cant remember what it was called....

Maybe installation of SecondToday and TodayAgenda app is an option for you.Then you can switch between TF3D screen and a traditional todayscreen(SecondToday)with all appointments and tasks(TodayAgenda).
You can customize it for your special needs!
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....)

When I go to the calendar tab and try to view the "Agenda", the items seem to take a around 3 or 4 seconds to actually pop up on the screen.
It's the same when I start from the "Month" view and touch a date that I know has items in there (because it's marked by a little triangle) - it still takes a few seconds for those items to pop up.
It's not so much a hassle when I'm looking at only one day, but if I have to scroll through lots of dates to find a particular item, it wastes a lot of time .
Is there any way to make the items show up quicker?
i have the same problem. It takes around 7 seconds till the recurring apointments show up. The unique appointments show up directly. It's very annoying because sometimes I forget to wait as long.
I tried to reinstall the last rom, but the problem stays.
Any suggestion ?
Not sure if this helps and I don't have that issue but you could try using the default calendar app (just create a shortcut to it). I don't use the HTC calendar often as it is far less functional than the standard Windows one.
I'm having the exact same issue and it's beginning to drive me mad. Further, sometimes Text Messages take ages to send - can anyone say if they're having that problem also??
Needing a fix for this!
Hello,
I have an HD2 with wm6.5 + manila 2.5.
I was looking for a fix during hours, but did not find anything...
When an appointment has just exprired, it still appears on the default lockscreen.
Example: it is now 7:16 and the appointment which was from 7:00 to 7:15 is still showing.
Actually this is the visible part of the problem.
After testing a bit, I think the issue is wm6.5 not refreshing appointment state often engough (I don't know how to explain that, but I think that the system is periodically refreshing the appointment state, which unables to know which appointment is the **current** appointment).
This would not be a big problem by itself (it actually refreshes after 2-3 minutes), but when you use a software like PhoneAlarm, which is supposed to change phone profile according to current appointment, then you have an issue: successive appointments make the automatic switch to fail, because the software thinks the "old" appointment is still active so ignores the new one...
Does anybody know this issue and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Looki
Anybody has this issue???
Critical for me because I make an extensive use of Pocketmax PhoneAlarm...
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
... I continue working on the topic.
I found in the registry the place where the "current appointment" is detailed.
It seems to be in "[HKCU]\System\State\Appointments\Current"
Also, I checked that this very key is not refreshed at the end of the appointment (behavior that I described in the first post).
As soon as some process (don't know which one) update this key, I observe:
1/ Information in this key is deleted (meaning that there is "no current appointment")
2/ Both lockscreen and phoneAlarm immediately react and adopt the appropriate status (lockscreen doesn't show the appointment and phoneAlarm switches to the correct phone profile)
The issue is that the key IS NOT updated at the end of the appointment, but some 1-2 minutes AFTER the end.
Does anybody know how to make more often system refreshment of this key?
Thanks for your help!
