I have a an intermittent problem on my Tytn. Every so often I put a Monday calendar entry in, then when I look later at the Today screen I find that although the appointment time is correct the day is showing as Tuesday. When I look in the calendar it is entered correctly as Monday.
Anyone any idea why this happens?
Thanks,
Al

This is a well reported problem and may have something to do with time zones. You will need to search here and on google. Possible searches to include 1 day and 1 hour outllook wm5 calendar etc.

If the meeting is after 3 or 4 days (for example) my tytn will always show MEETING TOMORROW. why is it so?
Try the google search on sticky above. When I just tried there were a few. For example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271325
Oh, and this is a general WM5 issue so don't limit search to Hermes or even just this forum.
Oh and!!, also check the "1 hour" out error because one hour out takes an all day appt into the next day - so the two things can be related.

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,
i have a colleague who also has a touch hd and over 3000 contacts and appointments in his outlook.
the synchronizing takes forever and doesnt even come to the end after several hours. he left the hd over night and the next morning it wasnt finished.
does anybody have that much contacts or appointments?
it think it should be possible to use the hd with these amount of items.
he cant possibly be the only person who has his customers and businesspartners in his outlook(?!).
with me the sync takes quite long too.
when the calendar is synced it updates the appointments "xx/yy" and after that the synchronisation stays and takes a few minutes.
how about you?
Only the first sync takes so long. I also have in excess of 3000 items to synchronize (about 300 contacts, 2800 appointments, tasks, etc). It took about three and an half hours (!), but now syncs in about 30 seconds. So no, I don't think this is unreasonable at all; there should however be a warning for the user to wait this long (as there is hardly any indication that synchronisation is actually progressing). The same number of items only took about 10 or so minutes on a PPC (Loox 560) that I had before HD. It only takes a couple of minutes on a Nokia 6500 dumbphone though. Sigh. Well, we all know that AS actually stands for ActiveStink(tm).
Cheers,
Rok
How to Increase Synchronisation Speeds
Hi Guys
I had the same problem. The way around this is to disable your Touchflo 3d from the today screen.
I was then able to sync with for the first time with outlook over 5,000 calendar appointment and over 1200 contacts in about 30 mins. After that "daily" syncs should only take 30 seconds to a minute.
Hope this helps
Kaid
ah, great tip. i will try that.
do you deactivate the tf3d for the daily syncs too?

Works 100%. Struggled with that for days, solved now. Thanks m8!
works really great!
that is awesome!.
i am so glad you told me.
by the way: is there a way to disable the tf3d calendar?
i think that should be the problem. disabling the calendar should solve it.
Try removing home tab in customisation options. It should help.
not possible
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.
Thanks to a lot of great information in these forums, I was able to get the Superclean 2.8 ROM [3.7.2011] installed.
But I am having one problem -- the calendar is not aware that DST begins this weekend. All of my calendar events this week are displayed correctly. All of the events next week are one hour off. I have calendars coming from multiple sources -- Google, my company exchange server -- but all of them have the same problem.
On the other hand, I'm not able to find anyone else reporting this issue, so I'd guess it isn't specific to the ROM itself.
But what could it be?
That's interesting... sorry i don't have an explanation for you.
But maybe it'll update once the clock updates via the satellite?
Cuz i know on my older phones (this is my 1st smartphone), the time didn't update for over 12 hrs if i didn't make or receive a call
Everyone has this issue!

There hasn't been a fix to this yet but it is inherent in your Google Calendar. Your Gmail calendar will have the correct times but when it syncs, the phone calendar must still be on the old DST or something. Hopefully it will correct itself this weekend. Shocked that no one has tried to fix it. Hard to find it in message boards but many others are having this issue.
Yeah, this is an issue independent of the SC releases. The calendaring app seems to be extremely dependent on correct time zone information and there seems to be a problem with using the Automatic network-provided values for date, time and time zone. When I turn off the Automatic network date & time and then select my time zone manually, my calendar events display correctly both for Standard Time and for DST. Additionally, any appointments I create for a period within DST appear correctly. This was not the case when using Automatic. If Automatic is selected the appointment time for an appointment scheduled in DST is advanced an hour when viewed in the web-based Google calendar.
This issue created huge issues for my wife who uses the Google mobile calendar heavily.
I have the same problem with a different twist. Most of my appointments were an hour off but some of them weren't. Now that DST has hit, most of my appts show the correct time but some of them are an hour off. It's hard to trust my calendar now.

I tested this issue in many ways. If you created an appointment in your calendar and have your Android calendar set as default, it won't change (I think). I created appointments on my computer in Outlook and when it synced to my Smartphone, it was an hour later. I just create all my appointments on my Android device and everything is consistant. Now after DST has occurred, unbelievably, everything is fine. I wonder now if we'll have this problem again when DST is over.
