Calendar Problem - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hello, i have the 2.2.2 version and i have a problem with the layout of the default google calendar app.
I used the Hi Suite to import appointments and such from MS Outlook and it worked fine. The problem is this: In the 7day view for instance, if a day has up to 3 items (anniversaries or birthdays etc, without time set) they show ok in a small font size on the top of the column, BUT if there are more than 3 items, the little blue item boxes get even smaller and lose the text. So i don't know what notifications i have for a day with 4 of them, just that i have 4 notifications.
I couldn't find any settings entry to change the view a bit, anyone has come across this problem? Also i tried another calendar app (Jorte) and some widgets for the home screen (Cal, Smooth Calendar) but the default app is better looking imo and a solution with that would be ideal.
PS: if you notice in the screens, even if one day of the week loses the text, it "destroys" the other days too. so i'm guessing it is a software bug and not a feature that can be changed
PS2: if it is indeed a problem without a simple solution that i just don't know of, can anyone having the 2.3 version try and replicate it there in case they fixed it?
thanks, d.

I don't have a solution, but got the same thing with 2.2.1

Calendar tool

I'm looking for a tool -- free --to see the first N appointments.
Anything similar to the calendar view 'Agenda'.
Nowadays I'm using the TodayAgenda plugin. It works fine but I prefer a tool not intergrated in the Today window.
Sorry for my bad English

I've been looking for (probably) the same thing. Datelens is cool, but I couldn't find an agenda view. I want to see all upcoming appointments in list format, not just the one day at a time and not in a grid.
The best idea I could come up with was to sync with Google Calendar and use Google's mobile calendar page. The major drawback is that it requires internet connection whenever I want to see the appointments.
Still looking....

No appointments in HTC Calendar

All of a sudden none of my appointments appear in the HTC Calendar (inc. the Home page).
If I choose a day in the Calendar app I see one of them for a fraction of a second, then it disappears.
I see them all in the WM Calendar app and even on the S2U2 screen, but not via the HTC TouchFLo apps.
Running WM 6.2 Sense 2.1 on TD2.
Any ideas ??????
Issue resolved - related to problems with language support.
Can you help me, I have the same problem on a Rhodium.

His issue was with language support, since you're in DC I suspect your issue is different.
You can sync calendars with MS My Phone, Google Exchange Server, or MS Exchange Server
I gave up since this thread was the only place I read the same exact problem. I decided to just use the ms calendar instead of htc calendar since it was not a sync issue. If htc updates the calendar app I will try it then maybe it will fix it for me. the sleek look of htc calendar is the only thing better anyway.
Have you tried to sync using Google as an exchange server? Its working for me.
that is what im doing. the sync is not the problem as they appear for a second, they just visually disappear in htc calendar a second or less later. but the events are still in google on pc and if i open builtin calendar on tilt 2 then the events are still there as well. so i am sure it is not an ms exchange or activesync issue
I assume you've tweaked the "keep item on device" setting.
I would delete and reestablish your server. I have seen contact photos be slow to load or disappear but never any issues with calendars.
It could be an issue with your ROM retaining data and you may have to hard reset.

Just tried "keep item on device" setting, and same as before.
I don't think the ROM problem not retain the data since if I use standard ms calendar feature the events are still there. The ROM is getting the data from ms exchange and keeping the data but not viewable more than split second in HTC Calendar.
I just deleted the activsync server and re-setup but still same.
Resolution
I was getting the same results - OK in regular calendar app but only very briefly, if at all, on theTouchFlo screen.
As I wrote above that the problem was due to language issues.
I assume that what was happening was that there were some characters or content which was problematic and causing problems in some cases (TochFlo display). I have the feeling that even one problematic entry caused the others not to be displayed.
If you are experiencing the problem I would look at the content of the entries (or selectively delete them etc). to find out what is happening.

I found the problem but no solution to get what i want
i have the taskbar to show date and time so I change some reg entries one which tell the taskbar to show MMM dd screws up HTC Calendar. i assume HTC Calendar pulls the date info from the same place as the taskbar so it gets confused. So I can pick date and time in taskbar or HTC Calendar. I want date and time in taskbar mm/dd/yyyy then it works since that is the default but the year doesn't really fit even with extra spaces so I guess I'll have to choose one.
Problem Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"SSDte"="dd MMM "
What happens if you change the date format in your regional settings?
Does it change both WM and TF3D to match?
Strange! Glad you found the culprit.
yes iv been playing with this. The best solution so far is to use "dd MMM yy" in the taskbar. Then select this in the regional settings. Now HTC Calendar works...but this is only 99% success for me since I didnt want to wast 3 character spots in the taskbar for the _yy
I always know the year so it is waster space but I think I will have to live with that.

[Q] New HD2 Owner with questions

I just picked up my new (T-mobile) HTC HD2, replacing my iPhone.
As nice as it is the HD2 seems far more complicated to use than the old iPhone.
I have 3 major issues I'm trying to fix and hope someone with more experience can advice me.
1-When making or recieving calls, I find it really hard to hear clearly. I'm not hard of hearing but the speaker seems way under powered. In a slightly noisey environment I have to switch to speaker to hear the caller !!
2-For some crazy reason I can only set 3 alarms, which is driving me mad. I have to keep my old iphone next to my bed to use it's alarms ( I work varied shift times )
3-After finally rearranging all my contacts to HDC happy ( no way of multiple, first name first changes ) I want to import all the birthdays into the calander. Is this possible ? In addition, I have linked many of my contacts to facebook, but the pictures randomly dissappear and I have to add them again. Can I save the complete address book so I can simply reload instead of having to update every picture when they dissappear next time ?
Any suggestions are warmly recieved.
there's an app out there that will add all the birthdays to the calendar. alternatively, if you sync your phone with Outlook on your PC it will add them to the calendar as well.
To answer your first problem, have you increased the call volumne to the maximum whilst on a call with someone? Just hit the volume rocker UP to do so.
And the second, WinMo only natively supports 3 alarms, but there are many programs out there that allow an unlimited ammount. Search the web for "Windows Mobile Alarm Programs" and you should find what you need. I would recommend bookmarking Http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com as well as http://www.freewarepocketpc.com. They have LOADS of useful programs for WinMo, and, as their names suggest, its all freeware stuff.
And three, like xnifex said, there are programs available on the net to sync birthdays and such, or you can use Outlook. Both will require you to manually enter the birthdays in the first time on your device, so you may just have to bite the bullet on this one and spend a half hour entering data. Good thing the keyboard is bigger than the iPhone eh?
Thanks for the advice.
1- Call volume. When I set the phone volume to max in the settings I assumed this ment call volume, however now I realize I have to use the volume control actually during a call to change the volume. Problem fixed
2- Only 3 alarms. Kinda solved. I have installed a great app G-Alarm. Nice simple and well programmed. However It's still sad that I have the alarm logo under the time (desktop) that is useless. Can this icon be linked to my new alarm clock app instead of the standard one ?
3- Calander linking to address book. Yet to download an app for this, but I'm sure it'll be easy to find.
Slowly getting the hang of WM 6.5, still many other teathing problems though.
Thanks again for your help
3-

cookies home tab mod will alter your life, and allow you to remap the various home screen sections to whatever program you want. Dont forget to get the CHTEditor too.
As samsamuel says if you want to keep the phone stock you should go with CHT...otherwise find a custom rom that fill your needs...or an android build....
Great tip, thanks for that Sam. Starting to get my HD2 the way I want it.
ARRRRRRRRRRRR
After spending several hours manually changing the first name first (No automatic ordering option).
I finally got it to sync and backup all my contacts to gmail. I added a few new pics, using my PC, then after updating I synced again. Only to find the whole name ordering has gone back to what it was before.
Now, randomly I get first name first and randomly last name first. Do I seriously have to spend another few hours editing each contact only to find next time I sync it will **** it all up again for me ?
If your contacts are messed up I find easier to export as a CSV and then edit everthing in Excel. You can use this for adding mass changes and also to put in multiple calendar reminders. Then when done import it back into Outlook.

I spent 3 months learning how to tweak and setup my leo, very frustrating yet necessary process.
Now my system is fully customized to my liking.
Hang in there, it's worth the hassle!

look for contact changer (its in the marketplace i think,) and make sure that your sync options are set to update in both directions.
I'm sure you're right Sam, but right now it's hours after painful hours of trying to get an out of the box product to work. I loved the apps you suggested, they certainly made it more flexible. Thanks for helping me sort alot of problems.
What I don't understand is why only some of the contacts have changed back to last name first. When I view the contacts they all show the correct first name and surname.
And 1 more thing. I managed to link my contacts birthdays into gmail calendar but it does not update my phones calendar when I sync.

Its probably something like both the first and last both being in the same field, both in the first name, perhaps.

You could try Manila Birthdays which will read your contacts birthdays, and allow you to enter them into your calendar. I have read of birthdays being an issue, but mine are already there through outlook, so i never had to solve it.
Thanks again Sam. Manila Birthdays, wicked app, love it.
I've also been playing with an app called mobiwee (http://www.mobiwee.com/), a great phone tracking and wireless file manager app
Worth a look if you're interested.
Cheers again Sam

Calendar categories - FIXED

Having upgraded from an older HTC that ran the same version of windows software I was disappointed to find that when adding a new calendar entry that the categories are not updated in line with the ones on the PC it was synced with. You cant even add new categories on the phone which would have at least helped.
Has anyone found a way round this..?
Anyone....?
I found that if you use the calendar option under Outlook then the have the categories as before. It's only if you use the link from the front screen that your options are limited.

[Q] Mail app problem

I have a problem with mail, calendar, messaging and people aps. When I try to open them I get a gray background with darker strip in the middle where it says "Mail/C/M/P can't open".
These aps worked for a while like a charm but one day they did just not open.
any ideas?
Ok! I got the solution. So let this thread be an answer for those who have the same problem.
The problem is caused by Background changing application.
Unfortunately going back to default doesn't seem to help. You have to "refresh" your PC using build in tools in control panel
I hope this will help
let me know
