Getting the calender to show more then just today's appointments?

Any one know how? Old HTC Touch used to show the next three - this one only shows today's - am I missing some setting?
Thanks folks!

Hello!
Nobody knows?
Maybe it´s only the German Rom ... ?
I have the same problem ...

There has been a long discussion over at pocketpc.ch about this issue. My german version also only shows appointments up to the next day. Maybe there will be a fix in future firmware updates.

Minimize the clock by moving your finger upwards on the screen.
Now it should show 5 meetings (only the next day though)
Still, it bugs me that it can't show more with a large clock, since it's a lot of empty space there.
As said before, probably a bug.

How cool is that, didn't know you could minimise the clock

My UK model is the same! Another bug I found is when the days event has passed, it still shows as today! For example, a birthday will be a day old, and yet still claim to be today. I have to exit TF3D and restart to update. Anyone else suffer from this?!

Yes, I've seen the same problem. It did it with no other software installed, so evidently a TF3D bug.

If we all take the time to report bugs to HTC then hopefully they'll fix them!
Not that I've had a response back to my reports!

Thanks all for the thoughts. Like i said it works fine on the Touch and I cant believe its that complicated to show the next three appointments whenever they may be......hopefully someone will create a tweak for it.

This problem actually persists even if I turn off TouchFlo, i.e. the original windows 6.1 does also just show today/tomorrow.
Upon entering the Calendar - it actually shows the same. If I recall right, previous versions had a list of coming appointments.
Perhaps the problem is not TouchFlo-related after all?

Yup you're right, previously you could see three upcoming appointments, your next appointments no matter how far in the future they are

Same sentiments here, would be great if the Today screen can show upcoming appointments, regardless of how far future the dates be, not just for today and tomorrow only. My o2zinc has this useful feature.
Hope HTC can do a mini program like the o2 has it in o2plus.

disregard.

That would be useful, be able to see today and future appointments. If we could see 3/4 that would be superb! It would give us a head start to buy a birthday gift.

this is not ideal but can be done using the following.
install second today http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907
this way you can run the standard windows mobile screen as well as touchflow. but that too will only display 1 appointment, so install calendar plus http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/6
this is a simple plugin which adds the feaures your looking for, display multiple days of appointments on the today screen.
as for the inability of touchflow, to refresh itself, so that yesterday's apointment does not remain as today. galarm has the ability to fix this bug, by waking up the device everyday at 12a.m. to refresh. as it's a great alarm program http://freewareppc.com/clock/galarm.shtml
although i think that if u try one of the new ROMs all these issues should have been solved.
good luck

Calendar problem ( TF3D)

Hi all.
Since a few days on my calendar screen ( on the TF3D screen )
I cant see the month and days , well I can see them but they are all called
IDS_CALENDAR_DECEMBER ( for example )
and seeing alot of ' I... '
any one know how to solve this back to just normal month and day names?

I also have that problem. And the Configuration Tab disappeared

So no one has found a solution to this so far?

Sounds like the Appointments database is corrupt, perhaps something like SKTools can save you from a hard reset?

How do you mean? What kind of option does sktools have to solve this ?

turn off TF3D via start, settings, home, elements (sorry mine is in german, remove the tich from touchflo3d.
now over start go into the standard calenda and check that it displays ok and that you have dates.
Then restart the tochflo.
If you are getting this it sounds like something got screwed, were you playing with the manila files for some theams or display changes ?
Did you use some customerizing software to change them whihc was built for the 2d version and maybe messed then up ??
It looks like its got the veribale but cant find the match for it.
You must have been doing something, gives us a hint

Well via the normal agenda , it displays the dates correctly.
Only not on TF3D . And I have done anything with it
I just noticed it , and it was normal so thats the strangest part
And I havent edit the calendar manile file only caller history which is al reader back to normal :S

Sounds like you have hit hard reset time ¢or upgrade to the 1.19 rom.)

SKtools has a database maintenance section, but if your cal is OK then it's probably indeed only the TF3D component which is screwed up. Trying the 1.19 upgrade does seem like an interesting option but does that retain personal data?

And is the 1.19 rom availble in dutch ?

Also what do I loose when I do a hard reset?
All stuff that i've installed of course
But will I also loose stuff on the SD card and SIM Contacts?

Changing the Start of the Week?

I couldn’t find any threads on changing the starting day of the week to be a Saturday that is shown in the calendar.
Changing registry, tweak or any other way to accomplish this.
Your help is really really appreciated!!

Apparently, one can use SSaMPa (or however the program is called) with a switch (-ew [for weekly view] iirc) to get this done. Use search again, I know this info has come by on the board...

You can do that in PIM options...
Open Calendar => Menu => Tools => Options =>1st week day => you have only choice between Sunday and Monday

Apologies, I should have mentioned that I wanted the start to be a Saturday.
I know the first place to look is Calendar Options . I know you mean well but I am not that stupid
But thanks anyway.

Go into Settings, Regional Settings and change it to US, or something.
I found that after changing it to my Country (Romania, Europe) it automatically changed date to have the day/month/year (as expected here) and also the first day of the callendar, it's not mentioned there but it actually changed it.
Please test it out.

I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn’t work. I changed it (and did a soft reset) from UAE to USA to UK to Zimbabwe (Hey don’t laugh) and it changed everything except the start day.
If what you suggested is true; I would guess (and bet) that something can be changed in the registry or something. And this is of course something for xda wizards to figure out.
If anyone knows a better place in the forum to put this question please do, you have my blessing.
Thanks for your input

try accesing your Calender from the Today screen.
Right bottom / Menu /Tools/Option anf than secodn option first day of week.
Now, this might work.
Unfrotunate from my weak expereience, settign it up here (called from the Today screen) is somehow different from the callendar (Start/callendar), no idea why.
please test it.

I also need my calendar to start the week on Saturday. Could someone please help me with a registry edit or something to allow the default windows calendar to start the week on Saturday.
Thanks in advance.

Today Screen doesn't refresh

Hello to everybody
I have an annoying problem with my Today screen. When I put an "All Day event" on my calendar. My Today screen shows it. That's ok.
My problem is that the next day. This "All Day event" is still displayed to my Today Screen. Normally at 00:00:00 that Today Screen should be refreshed. But it doesn't do by itself. I have switch off then on the TF3D or a soft reset every morning to refresh it.
Here is my technical info:
TF3D: 1.3.35350.1_1630.38
ROM: 1.14.406.3 (22273) FRE
Date ROM: 10/24/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Protocole: 52.49a.25.26U
I went to HTC website and they don't have any hotfix to resolve my problem.
Do you have a hotfix for this ?
Do I have to change ROM ?
Can you help me please ?

Same here. I don't need to have an 'All day' event, even the 2hs events don't disappear from Today's screen (well, sometimes are refreshed, sometimes not).
Also,TF3D gets restarted sometimes when I turn on the screen, it says 'TF3D is being loaded...'. It's a nice interface, but got a few bugs.

Ahh !!! that mean I'm not fool ! I am not the only one to have that problem.
I didn't notice that TF3D reload by itself. But as you said, since my last hard reset, it reload alone sometimes.
Do you think that we are the only two people of that planet having these troubles ? Are our TouchHD broken or what ? Is it weak to think that HTC can change our mobile seeing the garantee ?
This problem is really really annoying to me !

Okay... I found out what was wrong...
It's time problem !
On my pc, the time was set to GMT+1 Rome and on my ppc it was set to GMT+1 Paris
I've set to the same time and desactivated the "Automatic change time setting" in phone settings.
Then a little syncro.
Now everything refresh nicely

I have a similar problem, however more related to syncing. About 2 days ago my blackstone (whie charging via usb) displayed a message that changes have been made to the server and all the data has to be resyncronised. I was offline and not doing anythink related to syncing. After this, all my full day apointments were extended to the day after too.
For example my friend's birthday on 7th of Feb is displayed in the 8th of Feb Agenda too, despite that in the settings the appointment is full day only.
Had the same issue with my wizard before. Seems to be a calendar issue, since my PC outlook shows everything normally. I've tried several hard resets but it didn't work...
Any help?

Very good finding! Thank you!
That should work, but I have an additional problem... the timezone that is set in my PC cannot be replicated in the HD, because it has been created as 'custom time zone'. That was because Argentina decided, without previous notice, to get the clock one hour forward some months ago. Win XP didn't support that time change, so in my company they developed a hot fix that created a new time zone.
But thanks for the clue! I will try to solve this playing a bit with timezones.

Summer Time clock problem

I have a problem with the clock since the hours changed to summer time.
I try'd 3 diferent Roms now and all have the same problem, the clock delays 1 hour allways.
I set the correct time and sometime later or after a softreset the time delays 1 hour.
Another thing is that I can't mantain my correct time zone (London) that has the correct time for me. It allways changes to (Casablanca) that is 1 hour earlyer.
Please help.

i'm in the UK and i didn't do a thing on the phone when the summer time changed. It changed the time automatically. Running Leo v3 rom, btw

Am in uk aswell. Time changed automatically didnt have to do anything. Using the EnergyROM with Radio: 2.08.50.08_2.
Sorry not got any ideas, hope some1 can help you..

Just don't make any Portuguese City in the world clock your default city. Use "My Location" instead. That's what i do.
This ain't an UK problem it's Portuguese problem, the time zone / weather database file (WWE and other then the PT rom version) of Manila is wrong concerning the portuguese Time Zone, i forgot about the file name but you have to edit it with sqlite.

This just heppens with new Roms, since when the time changed my Rom changed well and automatic, but with new roms a have this problem.

I'm having the same problem. I'm in Porto and the "My location" sugestion doesn't fix the problem. HD2 always get 1 hour earlier. I could set my location to London but all the geographical integration is lost. For me the ROM is the default one that vodafone delivered (last htc pt stock rom).
Does anyone know what file should be edited to correct the problem as sugested above?
Thanks for your help

Try:
Start > Setting > Menu: All settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS > Time Synchronization > Get Settings > Tick: Automatic Change time zone and clock.
I had the above problem and this fixed it.

That is already set im my ROM

Go to the settings tab - Data Services - Internet Time Sync and untick
For now this is the only solution.

Thanks, I think that will solve the problem

I've unticked both settings refering time sync (GSM/UMTS and internet time sync) as suggested above and that doesn't fix the problem when syncing with PC using mobile device center v6.1
It's beggining to be of major concern for me as I need frequently to check the time in different countries for professional reasons and even if I don't sync with PC and I force the clock to the right time, some of the other cities would be wrong (not all with +1h).
HTC should fix this bug.
jpl69 can you please tell me more about the file that should contain the "world time table"?

me too
I'm in Portugal too and last Monday I lost a €12000 contract due to being 1 hour late for the appointment. I had this problem last year too and haven't yet found a solution. I'm quite sickened by it. The Microsoft "patch" doesn't work either. I'm sure these settings must be in the registry somewhere?

problem solved with Weather City Editor
I´m in Portugal too.
I think the bug is on Manila 2.1 and 2.5, the time zone for Portugal is incorrectly Casablanca when it should be London.
Corrected it with Weather City Editor that ca be found here at xda.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141
It took me 2 minutes to fix all the 16 cities (Ponta Delgada was the only one already correct) and after a while even "My location" comes ok.
Hope this helps.
