Calendar appointments

Is there any way to get more than the next appointment to show up on the today screen ? I would like to see if possible at least the next 3 or 4 items on my today screen instead of just the 1.
Any way to do it ?

~ Click Start and then choose Settings
~ Click on the Today icon
~ Click on the Items tab
~ Click on Calendar
~ Click on the Options button
~ Then click on Upcoming appointments
That should do the trick, or you can download the Calendar+ plugin which gives you even more possibilities. Search for Calendar+ on this forum or on google.

Had already tried your first suggestion, but it didnt seem to make any difference. However cal+ has given me what I needed.
Many Thanks.

cal+ works great upon initial install and is solid unless activating and deactivating a few feature/options more than a few times... then it becomes a bit buggy on my wizard. so i was wondering if anyone is using something similar?
also, can someone please direct me to the reg-hack to free the date plugin so i can place it in any order on the today screen???

Calendar bug in touch HD ?

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.

Appointments on Homescreen

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 - 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!

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,
12

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

How to disable appointment on lock screen

I have the T-mobile USA HD2. How do I disable the calendar appointment from appearing on the startup lock screen? I use a password used to unlock.

Excellent question...I've been searching for that also.

Kill 2 birds with one stone!
You could install Co0kie's Home Tab 1.6.1 together with his CHTEditor which should allow for the configuration you require via the multitude of Appointment options.
It's probably a must have cab at any rate, and you'll be killing 2 birds with one stone!
You won't be dissappointed.

you can delete the appointment layer in the lock screen file.

Hi. I quite agree with your praising of CHT and CHTE, but I can't find the option to not show the next appointment on lock screen. Are you sure you don't mean the option in CHTE to hide appointments on the on home screen ("Show appointments")? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Yep, i had thought the 'hide appointments' would do it for you.
It seems samsamuel post above might be what you are looking for.

OK. I guess cookies home tab does just what the name says, edit the tabs on home screen. Will see if I take a closer look on that editing tool for the lock screen. Just seems a little more work and risk of screwing things up. But then again it might be pretty simple once you go through it

its only a simple file that you are editing. if you can read xml/html them just open the file in notepad and erase everything between the appointment tags.
just keep a copy of thee original and if it doesn't work just change it back. no danger.

OK. I might give it a try. It sounds far fetched but do you have an opinion on weather it's something in this file that can be editet to get the notifications options to pause or dismiss (back) on lock screen. A bit more explanation her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660813

Thanks for the advice. I was able to delete the appointment from the lock screen with Chome Visual Editor.
