Hey guys!
I've a little problem with my calendar item on today screen...
It doesn't showm me my future reminders/appointments!!!
If I'm not wrong, when I tryed the WWE English ROM the reminder item of today screen has show me the next appointmens of the next 6 dyas including all days event!
When I come back to the Italyan ROM it show me only the appointments for tomorrow but not the appointments fot the next days and/or all day event...
Is it a bug or there is some configuration to do?
I check on the settings of calender (from today screen settings) to show me the next future appointments and to show me the all day events...
Markino,

I can recommend this Calendar+ Software. Its simple, straightforward and reliable, better than inbuilt WM2003 Calendar today plugin.

I use tAgenda. Very small and powerful.
DeveloperOne released V7.50 of AgendaFusion for WM5 on 1st Dec. I haven't seen it mentioned in these forums. Anybody got any feedback about it?
I'm just about to try it:
http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/download.htm#wm5
Hmm. First impressions: not good.
Contacts are displayed and I can search for them. I can't use the keyboard to dial a contact's number. Gotta use the stylus. This is enough reason to ditch the software IMHO. Can't use the keyboard to find and dial a number while in the car?? :shock: This is one strength of the built-in WM5 contacts app., which is actually pretty good.
AF calendar doesn't show a single appointment, of any kind. :shock: Weird. Can't find anything in the settings to show/hide certain types of appointment, so I don't know what's going on. Tasks are all displayed OK though. I added an appointment in AF and it appears in my sync'ed calendar on the desktop, but doesn't show on the Exec.
Can't use the keyboard to navigate the calendar or switch calendar view tab. So can't navigate to a day and start a new appointment without getting the stylus out. (For many people this won't be a problem, but it indicates to me that it's not fully compatible with our Universals. If they left out this possibility then what else didn't they consider?) Up/down keyboard buttons do nothing as far as I can tell. Why the hell not?
The screen through which you add an appointment is broken in VGA mode. Unbelievable :roll: There's an unlabelled time input field orphaned in whitespace near the bottom of the screen. I've no idea what it refers to.
No soft-key tabs at the bottom of the screen for common tasks. :shock: This isn't a feature unique to the Universal: The soft-key input option is standard to WM5! Why haven't they used it, or at least offered the possibility?
So I'm not happy with AgendaFusion. This is a pity - I loved it on my XDA2. I had hoped that the long-overdue release of their "WM5-compatible" version meant that it'd be the killer PIM, but it offers nothing that PocketInformant doesn't offer, and PI was released weeks ago. What have DeveloperOne been doing?
I've been beta testing AF for a while and I am very happy. I use the Project Management feature a lot. Not had any problems with appointments.
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.
Hello,
Because, there is no such fonction in standard, I'm searching for an easy-to-use solution for displaying next appointments
For exemple, combining today agenda + second today is not an easy-to-use solution.
Manilla 3 came with a new calendar but without week view.
Is there really no solution to display next appointment dates on Manila home screen for exemple ? How guys you handle that ?
I dont know what you mean because appointments I type into my calendar are shown on the home screen one day before the certain date. I think you have to use a calendar that uses the outlook-database to save appointments.
Exact, but for a professional use, one day before the certain date is a too short term view..
I wish I could scroll the view until a week for exemple..
Why do you see using SecondToday as a hard option?
I use this with Spb Diary, and it is both easy to set up, and a doddle to use. It displays forthcoming events, bithdays etc in a clear, easy-to read list for the following 31 days.
I have it assigned to a long keypress on the left softkey, but it could just as easily be assigned to the calendar button

I tested 2nd today + Today agenda few month ago on my Polaris but I was not really conviced. I will try with spb regardless but I will stay frustrated that such a simple fonction as displaying upcoming appointments was so badly implemented..

Wellcome to the club, then. Most who use the HD as a professional tool complain of the same thing.
However, SecondToday does work well, and is only a button-press away. I have set up Spb shell to display just the Diary page as a full-page view, so can see loads of appointments.
I also have high hopes for the new Spb Shell v3 which is due to be released fairly soon, and might use that instead of TF3D.
that's the reason why I went back to the default Windows Mobile Today screen with SBP Diary and Calendar+

Eh, exactly what I talked about ! Have a look at this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497197
The date entry scheme in Android, with its scrolling vertical numbers, is consistent with its time entry. But often I really miss a simple calendar approach. Yes, it's not difficult to say three weeks from today is the same as adding 21 modulo whatever the current month's length is - but selecting (for instance) the third Thursday of February of next year isn't really feasible with the current entry method (unless you memorize Conway's Doomsday Algorithm).
Any suggestions? Time for me to dive into Android code to write a freebie extension?

You could always scroll through the months on the actual calendar.
True, but that means leaving the date entry field and the whole appointment you've already started entering, going back to calendar (vs agenda) view, scrolling around to find the information, going back to agenda view, reselecting what you've started entering, then entering what you've hopefully not forgotten while doing all this.
All of which defeats the purpose of having a computer in the phone to help you out rather than get in the way. In Outlook / Palm / etc. when you need to select a date you get the calendar view immediately and you tap the appropriate date. Simpler, faster and easier than vertical scrolling ribbons.
No offense, but I really don't see what is so hard about selecting the date before entering information. All seems pretty intuitive to me.
