Calendar Issues

I recently switched from XDAII to a TYTN.
Until now, no problems exept the calendar.
If I have like three appointments the next day, the device only shows me a maximum of two on the start screen, where on my XDAII the list was unlimited . Pretty annoying cause I'm used to see all of them when I switch my XDAII on and have an immediate overview.
Is it possible to change a setting so the calendar goes directly to the month lay out? Now I always have to toggle up via day, week, month or go via menu, view...
Also, if there are two appointments on the start screen and I tap on them, the device will always go to the "oldest" appointment.
Any settings I could change?
Thanks

No reply because it's so obviously simple or nobody knows..?
Anyone?

Come on guys, give me a tip here.
I did the normal stuff like going to start>settings>today>Items>calendar but then the "options" button is not available so I can't activate the "show all apointments".
What is a recently good and stable program to add programs/shortcuts on the today screen?
I looked into Claunch but that site is so old...

Pocket Breeze

I gave up on the OS Calendar today screen - no matter what options I selected, it would only display 1 day at a time... so I use PocketBreeze now... it very configurable, looks good, works well and seems compatible to WM6!

Not sure about the calendar issues.
Claunch may be old but it's a good one.
I use Wisbar Advance used in conjunction with Wisbar Advance Desktop. Can also be used for those cool customisations as well. Also permits multiple desktops so you can spread out your icons and plugins over several pages to save clutter. each desktop can be customised differently.

All your Contacts? Or just some of them (e.g., Quickdial)?
If you just want key contacts for quick access, there is a cool product called Face Contact by CNetx that might work. If you want ALL contacts, I have not seen one....

Yeah, I have been thinking about this too, would be great if iContact could be made into a Today Plugin. I will pose this question in the icontact thread.

Try SPB Phone Sweet. I know you have to pay for it but there are plenty of places were you will be able to find it below one penny if you get my drift, I just cannot post them on the site. SPB Phone Sweet will allow you to post picture contacts, up to 15 I believe on the Today Screen. Really good function program which I used in conjuction with SPB Pocket Plus but have since then moved to SPB Phone Suite. Good luck.

first... thx for the answer´s and sry about my English
So i really looked for a today plugin who show ALL CONTACTS, like icontact i have now Facecontacts, thats great but i can only show a few contacts or all with many work... spb.... hm i have ultimate launch if i use spb too my kaiser will be slow i think.... so lets search another one

I wrote it in BURT thread...
I got UL too and in combination with spb phone suite there is no problem. My HTC touch is slower

ok but i think this have to look so:

Even I am looking for such thing from quite a while now.. but without luck.. I am trying to search or develop something which can integrate programs like Icontact/PCM image viewer to today screen.. Something like we can see in HTC Diamond but with less memory usage.. There are prgs like Throttle Launcher which does this, but heavy on memory.. consumes like more than 10 MB.. Anyone has any idea on how can we achieve this..

try this
you can use face contacts, its the best looking contact plugin available. and it scrolls like s2p cover flow (but smoother)

if u read u will see.... i use this.... but its not so good i think

As I've mentioned in Icontact thread
use one of your softkeys to invoke Icontact, or use Mortbuttons - you can assign one in today screen with Icontact and other phone app inside

Again Pisca, how does this establish a today plugin

1. not only icontact, any software what can do this, but in the today screen.
2. if u can look on my today screen? NO SoFTKEyS

I have set Spb Diary to show photo contacts on the Today Screen and it works out great...

See post in Icontact thread

You can also use DialTab.

Everything listed here are the best options. Trying to fit all of iContact as a plugin on your today screen eliminates the app itself. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Perhaps "Ineosoft Adressbook". You have a bar on the todayscreen, like the HTC Random Access and then the adress is popup. Have a look on it.
Or we can make a shortcut to HTC Random Access for the today screen.

i am currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item (very early beta i might add ). it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts (which is of course nothing new).
as with most photo dialers, a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact. (it also has an option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, which i find very usefull, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.)

Contact tab on my Today Screen?

Hi guys, I have searched and searched but cant find.. Is there a prog that can fix so I can have lets say five contacts on my today screen? So I just tap them and either get some options, sms or call up. Or it just calls them up.
Hope u understand what I'm out after =)
Of course I mean the today screen with the TF3D disabled =)
Thx

If you are looking for an appliacation without TF3D, for a normal today application then try SPB Shell.

You can also add Contact's pictures as a quick shortcut on the main screen of SPB Pocket Plus.

I have used nearly all of SPB applications, and they are absolutely professional.

You can definately use it with "2nd Today", I am using SPB Traveller with 4 different clocks & VOIP on the normal Today Screen.

I run SPB Mobile shell, it's not active as a plug-in, I can still use the slide move from "Start" tho ( 15 extra fav contacts and stuff ), and by using Fantastic Bytes Softkey Manager 1.1 my right softkey is set to SPB contacts, works like a charm

How to display Tasks in TF3D Home

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 just added Second Today. It works fine and btw you can have 2 fully environments swapping from one to the other but ...
- 4027 Ko in memory
- 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?

calendar appointments

hi, i'm using the standard windows today screen, i guess i'm old-fashioned but kind a got used to it. the problem with the HD is, it will only view one appointment at a time, even though i have multiple appointments on that day.
any suggestions..

For a much more powerful calender today-plugin you can try TodayAgenda (freeware) or SBSH PocketBreeze (shareware) or SPB Diary (shareware)...

which do u recommend. do they support the WVGA screen on THD

TodayAgenda runs without problem on HD res

I have invested in Spb Mobile Shell, Diary and Phone Suite.
Switching to this through SecondToday, I now have a REALLY powerful and flexible PDA.
I can see ALL my diary appointments for the next month and all birthdays for the next year. I use Gyrator to place the PDA in "lock" mode whenever the stylus is inserted, and this then also activates the "Spb Today" function, showing a really useful Today screen. When the stylus in withdrawn, the PDA unlocks itself, and a single button press takes me back to the TouchFlo Today screen.
Through Phone Suite - which I only use to configure the ring volume - I can set a better selection of ring volume, ring type (ie vibrate, ring, mute, level) and can even program different ring levels for different times of the day (eg if I am at work) or if I have a calendar appointment.
I hated the TouchFlo display at first, but now coupled with Spb (which I have to say is first-rate), I now really love this PDA.

TodayAgenda, SPB Diary
Tried installing both on my TouchHD, installation successful, but nowhere to be seen under PROGRAM? Any suggestions?

I am not sure, but dont you have to activate them under the option today (due to tha fact that both are today plugins)? I also think you have to use secondToday to use these programs.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Greetings
Ascenca

Thanks for your response. I checked under TODAY and found TODAY AGENDA. Ticked it, but didn't see it anywhere else. Checked TODAY again, and found that it was unticked. Only Touchflo3D was ticked. When Touchflo3D was disabled, only then TODAY AGENDA appeared on the TODAY screen. Is that how it should worked? And if you don't mind what is Second Today?

I can only speak for Spb Diary here, but it does need Spb Mobile Shell in order to work. Mobile Shell can easily be switched to by using SecondToday.

SecondToday allows you to have in addition to the TouchFlo a second today screen assigned to one of the two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen (above the hard buttons).
I use this with SBSH PocketBreeze - excellent app. I have also in the past used SPB Diary which also is very good.
Using secontdtoday I am now able to view my whole diary (and access all the other SBSH features) and swop back to TF3D.
TouchFlo (TF3D) will not allow you to have other today screen plugins (I think). Hence the need for Secondtoday. Search the forum for secondtoday. It also is in my recent post 30 minutes ago in the working applications thread.
