Hi all. I suppose this may be a WM5 regional setting issue but I searched all over with no luck. I want to change the format of the Date item in the Today screen. Currently it displays the date with a line feed (wrap) between the day name and the date, and it has the current time right-aligned on the same line. I don't want the time shown here - it's already on the top bar. I only want the date (and possibly a slight larger font size) here with no wrapping. Is there a hack for this, or do I need to get a additional Today plugin for this?
this is the thread for a TodayTimeCab plug-in that can replace the default date/time display, where you can opt not to show the time (can also select the font size).

thanks raymonds!
no problem.
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.
After we had the summer time switch in the U.S. of A., the clock in the clock setting has chaged (1 hour ahead) and also shows that is all panels, except of the SE panel! If I change the time inside this panel, the rest of the panels and system time changes to a wrong time (2 hours ahead!).
Is there a cab for the SE panel in Generic_UK R2A 10 version so I can try to reinstall that panel (instead of resetting the entire device)?
Anybody else had this happen (in the U.S. of A. and another counrty where the time switched?
Regards
PS
Yeah I saw the panel here listed, but its listed since the phone came out and no info on it, so it is to presume that this is the panel from fw version R1A. If anybody has the new version, I could try to solve the problem by reinstalling that one. Unless one comes up with the registry entry to change that in there perhaps....
My time across WinMo changed, but the SE panel wasn't correct, I then checked the Daylight Savings time box and it corrected. Did you have that checked when you changed the time?
The time changed by itself. Where is this Daylight time box to checkmark? I don't see that.
Click on Options.
Go to your city.
Check daylight savings box.
Thanks a lot! There is was.... and now it is correct. However, why is this only with this panel? The others (fish i.e.) shows the correct time.
I actually don't know why it's like that. Maybe it's just a tiny programming thing that they messed up on.
I have been having trouble with the alarm clock on my D2, and since Uni is about to start and I don't have a standalone alarm clock, it is vital that it functions normally.
Basically, sometimes the alarm just won't go off at all, I had set an alarm clock during my holiday to wake me up so I don't spend the (whole) day sleeping, but at times it failed to ring.
Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me?
if you use igo8 you could have this problem..
Timezone Bug Warning
A major problem with iGO 8 out of the box is the automatic time-zone option. I found that after running iGO 8 my time would change by an hour as well as my timezone being changed. Initially I just corrected these and carried on as normal – but this is where the problems began. You see, Windows Mobile has this 'thing' where if an alarm is turned off after the timezone is changed it still remembers it. You end up with phantom alarms going off even when they are turned off in the alarms setting – and because of the change of timezone they are an hour earlier… I had 12 alarms going off at 5.30am at one point! Calendar alarms are also messed up in this process – I had reminders for appointments an hour after they should have been. The alarm problem was such an issue that I actually did 2 hard resets within a week just to stop them, but as soon as iGO 8 ran again the problem returned. After a considerable number of missed appointments and early mornings I found a way to fix the alarms issue, around the time that Nav N Go announced a 'fix' for the problem.
The problem is caused by entries in the Notification Queue in Windows Mobile not being deleted after they have run. There were two free tools that I used to clear all these old and duplicate entries: pmClean and SKTools Lite. pmClean is a basic tool for clearing out temporary files etc whereas SKTools Lite is more advanced and does a lot more – to view the entries in the notification queue (and subsequently delete the offending ones) go to View / Maintenance / Notifications Queue and remove offending entries under CALENDAR.EXE (for appointments) and Windows\clock.exe (for alarms).
To stop iGO 8 from changing the timezone like it does then you need to follow the instructions here. [make sure you edit the sys.txt in Program Files because if you edit the one on the memory card (like I did initially) then it will not work without a reinstall!]

useless alarm
i had the same issue, however since i upgraded the software to the official latest version off htc website, it sorted it out, so i think it maybe a glitch in the software
I don't think the problem is with the changing timezone, it's just that my alarm won't go off at all...
I am not aware that there are newer updates for the TD2 on the HTC website, I though they were just changes for the ROM, is it on the normal HTC update site?
This is definitely related to the notifications queue, I had this issue (basically my alarm would pretty much never go off in the morning) I installed SK tools and set it to clean up the notifications queue in the night
see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4391994
so that was a month ago, not one alarm failure since
Oh and I use G-Alarm as my alarm clock, check it out, gives many more features than the stock windows alarm
P.
But did you still have problems using G-Alarm not going off?
I believe G-Alarm itself has a workaround built in for the notifications queue bug.
G-Alarm does in theory have a workaround built in for the notifications queue bug (it turns on at midnight to run a clean) but it wasn't working for me, it was no better than the standard alarm for reliability until SK tools was set up to do its thing. I have now actually turned off the G-Alarm notifications queue fix in the registry as I found the turning on at midnight annoying! And haven't had one alarm failure since so figure it wasn't doing anything extra...
P.
Still having trouble?
or have you solved it? if so what was the cause..
As the thread title says, i have none of the alarms set and still it goes off at around 11 aclock and 13 a clock every day. I _think_ it started after daylight saving turned my clock forward one hour but I still dont know what to do with that information.
Obviously I've turned off all of the alarms (and none of them are set at said times) and started using another alarm program, but that doesnt solve this problem im afraid.
Is there a string somewhere in the registry where it can be found and just wiped or something? Any clues are welcome.
(No notifications on set time either, before anyone asks )
there are two places to tinker with and set/unset alarms, the sense alarms page, or
settings tab - menu - all settings - clocks & alarms.
I had a similar issue briefly before i moved away from the stock rom, where i would unset an alarm but it would still sound, or sound two different rings at the same time.
I found that sometimes the two alarms pages aren't set to the same thing, especially after a hard reset. (still does this in some cooked roms, i've found, the system will be set to an alarm that doesnt exist whilst sense is set to one that does, but doesn't ring)
Now when i hard reset i go into the system - clocks and alarms and set everything from there the first time, and only then start using sense alarms, and so far it seems to clear any bugs before they occur.
