The tough question for the week:
Normally, on the start-page, the date/time and text for the next "upcoming appointment" is displayed. 1 appointment (if any entered in the Calendar) is potentially visible.
BUT if you have three meetings right after each other, you can get an unpleasant surprise from forgotten meetings suddently appearing with no time to prepare - unless, that is, if you take the effort to go into the calendar function and check the next couple of days. But thats not practical.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose to display the next 1, 2 or 3 appointments (just 1 line each) REGARDSLESS of how many days before they occur - without having to enter the Calendar and click though the days/weeks?
IS THAT POSSIBLE????
Best Regards
Calendar+ for multiple appointments on Today screen
Here is the easy answer for your tough question!!! :wink:
Download Calendar+ freeware from http://mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
You can configure your calendar in such a way that you can see multiple days and multiple appointments etc...
Its a great today plugin and well documented!!! Just explore it!

How do I make only the next upcoming appointment show up under calendar on the Today page? Right now it's showing past appointments and also recurring appointments (appts that occur once each week)..which I'd like to get rid of also.
thanks for any help. If needed I will attach a screenshot of my Today screen if you don't fully understand.

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.
Hi, have tried to search for this, but to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to extend the warning in manila of upcoming calendar events from 1 day as it stands to say 3 days? The standard windows homescreen shows events for the upcoming week but its only one day in manila. Anyone any idea?
I would like this as well, I have an appointment Wednesday but won't be able to see it on HOME TODAY screen till tomorrow, ideally I would like to see the next appointment.
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.
