[HELP] TF3D automatic update problem - Touch HD General

Iv tried searching the boards, and there have been numerous threads on the calender system in the touch HD.
However, the majority of them seem to be about the touch HD not showing an appointment in advance (e.g. not showing an appointment a few days in the future).
My problem is very different. The touch HD calender on the homepage does not update itself unless the application is closed via the today tab in settings. For example, if i soft reset my phone, it shows all my upcoming appointments as it should, showing tomorrow's appointments prefixed by "tomorrow". however, the following day, the appointments do not get updated. appointments that have passed are removed from the today screen, but appointments that are due the following day will remain prefixed by "tomorrow".
Hope that makes sense...
any help would be much appreciated (is there any known software clashes?)

Today Screen - Upcoming Appointments

Hey guys - possible newbie question! (actually I know it's anewbie question LOL).
I am staring to input dates into the calendar - and for some reason it's only showing me something i have planned for Sunday (future dates) vs some appointments i have current day.
Is there a way to adjust the settings on the today screen so i can see every upcoming appointment on the current day, and futuer appointments?
btw - i did go into the Calendar Personal settings and checked display all upcoming. But it still won't show.

Problem with Calendar Reminders

Dear Friends,
I have HTC touch (Elf). I have been having one big problem regarding calender reminder.
I have 77 birthday reminders, and 60 appointment for a week in my calender.
When I first sync with the my outlook on my pc for first time all my appointments reminder works, but after one day all the appointment reminders are coming.
I have checked notifications in MEMMAID it shows all my birthday reminders but not appointment one. deleted all duplicate (if any) entry , rebuilded the notifications as well. But still none of my appointments are coming undernotifications.
I tried hard reset so many time still first day it works from next day it don't.
I checked may our forum as well. It suggest to use alarm today software but it still doesn't work for me. I have tried other forums as well but no much luck.
All my business is base on these appointments, I have tried so much to solve this but not much luck.
I would give all information you ask or all stats you want.
Would you please help me out for this. Is it only me or its microsofts problem.
Please Help mates.
Many Many thanks.

TF3D does not update appointments - big problem

Hello @ all,
this is my first post and that is why I would like to say "hello" to everybody first
My touch HD arrived last week and I am very happy with it, but I do have a big problem that goes on my nerves!
When I add new appointments, TouchFlo3D shows the appointments just one day before, saying: Tomorrow:...
Ok, let's say, I have an appointment today at 7 pm and I had one this morning from 9 to 10 am. Now, it is quarter past three (where I live) and the Touch HD still shows me the morning appointment instead of not displaying it as it is already over.
When I now start the calendar and edit an appointment, as for example the evening appointment from today and save all changes, then TF3D updates and only shows the appointment at 7 pm.
Why doesn't it update the appointments by itself? It cannot be the intention to either restart the device or to edit something in the calender, can it?
yes, have the same probs.
Appointment from 9-10 o´clock and at 10:30 o´clock the appointment still at the home tab. The bigger problem is, when you are have the sound-option "vibrate on appiontments" active, the vibration is at 10:30 still activated without an appointment around 10:30
same problem here......
Damn...well, I do not have remind functions activated...but nonetheless, it is not acceptable the way it is.
But according to http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/forumdisplay.php?f=211 many german user do not have this problem. I'm suprised that it works in many cases correctly. So what could it be? I hard resetted the device three times already but no change.
same problem here. I checked the date settings (didn't change anything) and went back to the home tab though, everything was ok....!!!
It is annoying, but is corrected when I update and save another meeting, then the old meeting disappears finally from TF3D. Seems to be a problem updating between the Winmobile calendar app and TF3D. So either MS or HTC have to come up with a fix.
I've the same problem and i am a german user
Switching trough the tabs or reactivate Tf3D will fix it here.sometimes a restart from the device also works.difficulty to say
Appointments do not update
I have the same problem. I had an all-day event marked in my calendar for yesterday. This morning it was still showing on the TFL3D today screen.
I went into the calendar and came back out to see if the appointments would update, but they didn't.
Had to soft-reset for the appointments to update. Surely HTC don't expect people to soft-reset every morning so that the appointments update? Has anyone worked out a fix for this? Mr HTC, please can you fix this!
Qas
Same problem here.
If I close TF3D and load it again, the calendar is ok.

My HD with DUTCH language has the same problems After a few calls to HTC Europe in UK its now finally registered as a known issue and I'm assured that they work on a hotfix to solve this worldwide problem.
A temporary work-around is to programm a daily 'empty' appointment from 0.00 till 0.00 without any alarms or whatever. It will show up on your hometab like all the other appointments, but it will trigger it to refresh the data each morning the 0.00 passes.

One week visibility
Do you know if it is possible two have one week visibility for the upcoming events on the home of the TF3D instead of one day ?
I've the same problem and also with my mail. I let my device retreive mail every 10 min from an Imap account. But when I turn on the device then it sounds and vibrates that there is new mail. But with TF3d off it will ring as soon as my mail enters the box. So I think that TF3D has a bug with updating from the registry.
Another user with the same issue. And just like sstolk, I also noticed that emails and sms messages only update after I unlock (as in resume from standby) the device.
Another one and the same problem....
i have the same problem, i hope for a fix.
A possible (temporary I hope) solution is to rely on ActiveSync.
Create a fake exchange profile in ActiveSync and set it to update every 5 minutes (might create a connection, unsure). From what I saw so far, every "sync" forces TF3D to update. Might not be foolproof, but for now it has worked for me.
Ok, the last suggestion turned out to be false hope.
But I have a new theory. My TF3D calendar worked just fine for 3 days now (without any resets). What changed? I have not connected the phone to my PC during these three days. So the new theory is that when syncing stuff over activesync TF3D somehow fails to reconnect to the database - turning it off and on after a sync might perhaps solve the issue.
Still haven't found a permanent fix for this...
Anyone else experiencing it? Any idea how to fix it?
Let's hope they post a fix soon! If anyone finds a solution, please post it in this thread.

Calender Issues for recurring appointments

I have been trying to enter birthday as an all day and recurring appointment.
When you do this for the month that it is (ie. if i do it for december atm). Its fine. When I try to jump forward to January and set another 'all day' and recurring appointment (recurring on the same day every year), nothing happens after I press the 'done' softkey (I mean it goes to the day screen, but has no appointment added). I can only make an appointment if i do it as an 'all day' and 'does not repeat' and then go back and edit it to be recurring. Bit of a pain when you want enter birthdays for the year ahead.
Anyone got this problem or know a solution?
Tks
i have this issue as well i did let htc know about it with a long list if other problems. they then started investigating the sms problems and now they have "enough data" for a hotfix they want to close the ticket, not sure though if they meant to fix this issue as well.
As for a workaround make a non-repeating appointment, fill in all data as you want it but just a single appointment save it then edit it to make it repeating, worked for me at least.
Thanks mate
I gathered the way to get round it but it just another thing that seems not to work properly on this phone. I so want to believe its a good phone but I keep finding these bugs which make me lose faith. Anyhow, my 14 day returns ran out today so I'm stuck with it for the next 18 months! HTC and wm7 better sort it out.
I hear that, I'm in the same situation, however I don't think I would take it back overall it is a nice piece of kit just too many bugs. been thinking about getting a no hassle replacement but I really don't think it'd do anything, just need to wait for htc to do the patches, then for wm7
I have taken to using the WM 6.5 calendar when adding or editing things. This is not a WM 6.5 issue it is an issue with the Sense UI calendar. Go to Start -> outlook folder-> calendar. You get much better functionality its just not as finger friendly or pretty.
Weird thing is that when you try to enter these 'all day, yearly recurring events' nothing happens in the sense UI calender nor the outlook calender (having entered via the sense UI calender), but if you sync with my phone you get all the phantom events in that calender!

Assorted Calendar/Appointments Issues

I have a variety of issues with the Windows Mobile calendar. I tried some of the others that are available but stuck with the original because it was the only one that would show the names of my clients in a weekly view. If anyone is aware of others that will do this let me know.
It seems like when I first got my phone that I could alter repeating appointments and it would apply the changes to all appointments after the change but would leave the preceding appointments alone. This has stopped and I can update a single appointment in a series but any changes done to all the appointments in the series change the previous appointments now.
I have also experienced a problem after the change to British Summertime. All of my repeating appointments are now an hour later than they should be and I cannot find a way to change them without stopping the series and re-entering the appointment. There must be a better way!
It seems like there was another issue but it is late and my brain is dead. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Me too!
I'm interested if anyone can answer this also. I have tons of forward appointments that jumped an hour forward.
