Nope, just 1.
I also wish I could change the appointments view in Manila for 1 week instead of 1/2 days before.
hope some registry tweaks pop up soon because lot of people would like to customize their Manila a little bit more

For the appointments in lock screen it's probably a reg setting, not sure as not really played with WM 6.5.
xmoo,to get more appointments in manila, one has to decode the lua script. I'm trying to find hte right one at the moment to extend the appointments to show the next 5. Not had much time to play at the mo, will keep you informed.

If you are talking about the homescreen one I think you are out of luck. At least for the showing more than one day ahead part. Haven't been able to fully decompile it, but only 2.1 which have decompiled it didn't work.
With the calendar now showing one week of appoint menat its not really needed anymore though,

Anyone got an solution to this? Doesn't seem that hard to do...

Hi, sorry to invade with what seems like a trivial issue but does anyone know of an app that allows the following functionality? I used my old phone as my alarm clock and am missing the functionality on my Magician -->
1) BIG snooze and off button / or hardware button map for off/snooze (can't see much at 5am!)?
2) Play audible alarm at max volume even when PPC muted?
Any help would be much appreciated - or good excuses as to why I have been late for work since I got my new toy!!!
Thanks,
OB.
How about this one?
that prog is great and what u ask for. i use it myself!
Perfect!! Thanks very much indeed...
One slight problem - The today plugin conflicts with my Calendar plugin and completely removed it from the today screen and config page?!?
I did a few resets and uninstall / re-installes to no evail, so I removed the pTravelAlarm plugin registry entry (software|microsoft|today|items) and ptplugin.dll (windows dir) followed by a soft reset and my Calendar was visible on the Today screen again... odd?
I am not too bothered about the Today plugin part of the pTravelAlarm program so still happy :lol:
OB.
You could also try Spb Time. Large snooze button. Never fails to wake me up.

Which plugin do you use? I'm using calender+ without any problems.

This was the standard built-in plugin that was trashed -- I did try Calender+ and it worked fine, but wish it would show a tomorrow appt. if it is the next one, as the built-in one does...
OB.
I have now tried both the pTravelAlarm and the Spb Time. The Spb Time is cheaper, has more functions and are better looking than pTravelAlarm => use Spb Time
I don't follow you with that you can't see tomorrows appointment with calender+. I can see the following two days with all their appointments. You can easily display up to 31 days with calender+.
Spb Time is about what I wanted as an alarm when migrating from Nokia to Magician. Had to install some fix to get it working though. Alarms and Windows Mobile doesn't seem to get along.

I like to display next 2 appt. only. So if I have a 5pm and an 8am next day, I like to see them both on the today screen but not more than 2 appt. so the display 2 days does not work for me? Unless I am missing something in Cal+?
Thanks for the inputs, much appreciated...

Strange, I have no problems, so far....
@obarnes With calender+ you can set it to display the next x (between 1 and 31) days, hours, appointments and so on. Just enter the options and set it to whatever you want.

I have used both WolfClock and StopTime. Both are pretty good and they will do what you want.
StopTime is more barebones, visually simpler and to the point, though less refined. While cruder, it is quite good at what it does. Also has various timer/stopwatch functions.
WolfClock is more visuals (fancy backgrounds etc) and colours. It runs of Compact.net, is therefore a bit slower to boot up the firt time after a soft resent. It also eats up more memory space with all sorts of cute things like a setting where you can tell it to play music for x mins until you go to sleep. Some might call this "bloat". The one thing I will say is that at night you might find the choice of a softer screen color worth the extra memory.
Both have good handy button size for when you need to stop, snooze etc and both are free.
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.

Hey. Is there a way to limit the amount of (calendar) appointments displayed on the today screen? Or a way to limit how many days are displayed (i.e. only show appointments for the next 3 days)? I assume that this would be a reg hack, because the normal options don't cover this issue..
Thanks; I appreciate it.

Google 'Calendar +', it does exactly what you've asked for and it's free
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?
Regards, Jack
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.

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.
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!
