No, WWE Elite2.0

If you open 'calender' via the start menu instead it will stay in month view. Hope this helps.

That's completely normal, as it is called a Today screen So if you open the calender by clicking your agenda it will open today and not the normal setting. Discussed here before a few times and as far as i know there isn't a solution yet.

ah...ok...thx!!

I found the following behaviour with my T-Mobile branded Diamond:
You're in the TouchFlo3D home screen.
Clicking on an appointment shown below the clock and missed called button, you will see the agenda view.
Clicking on the lower right hand site "calendar" button, you will see the month view in calendar. No matter what you've setup in the options mentioned above in this thread...
Bit weird.

*bump*
still no possible fix or tweak around this thing? i know it's not a major bug or smth but it's annoying enough to have to tap 3 times more just to get into your "month" view

I fixed this by changing one of the soft keys to calander. When I now click this soft key it goes to my calander month view page. But if I click the reminder/calendar note below the call history it goes to day view so I think its a bug with TF3D.

I have fix this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462037&highlight=month+view

Show more dates on the tf3d home screen

Does anyone know how you can make the Touch Diamond show more calendar dates on the tf3d home screen as it only shows one entry from the diary at the moment

Oh joy! Finally someone is asking this question

I'm asking too..
any ideas ?

Perhaps we should ask the mods to create a new sub-forum dedicated to posts asking for tasks and/or more calendar items in TF3D? There's certainly enough traffic to justify it!

Asked the same question .........but I also appreciate all the work being put into making our diamonds run better by others.........so when there is a solution, and please can an expert look at this.. I and all others will be very appreciative.
many thanks

This is an outlook mobile thing, happens on every phone. THere are calendar apps that display more items if you wish, i just don't know if they are diamond ready yet. calendar+ is an example

Yeah i know, but since the the diamond displays already the next meeting in the calendar maybe there is p a place in the reg. to increase it to a few more ?

I use 2nd today and map it to the left softkey of the TF3D home page.
Then on 2nd Today, I use o2 plus plugin that displays all my events neatly.
Now I can switch between them seamlessly
I'm at work now, so I can post screenshots.. will do so later.
Cheers

Hi,
this is wat i did. I installed "Second Today" and I changed my left softkey to "Secondd Today" where I got PocketBreeze. My right softkey gets me too Pocket Informant.
I also changed my phone touch (left bottom) with pouch and hold it gets me too secondtoday. When I close my PocketBreeze I go back to my homescreen .

Sorry "second today" "installed", could you explain to a newbie-ish and frustrated calendar user, please?

Like your skin, where did you get that?

Okay, two problems and she'll be perfect...

I made a post about this before but never received an answer. I looked for a post in search but found similiar problems but no answers.
How do we stop the lag from clicking on icon to icon in the TF3D menu?
I'll click on an icon and get a huge lag before the screen catches up to whatever icon I clicked on. I did the #1 (and another, can't remember what the number was) mod on the list but it makes TF3D faster but still have the same problem.
It's terrible waiting for the screen to completely open once you click on a icon.
The other problem I have is when I use activesync (mobile device center) to view some pictures I took, when I copy and paste them on to my laptop desktop, they have the wrong date and time stamp on them.
My laptop and cell phone show the correct date and time but when you view the copy and pasted files, the date is a day ahead with a completely different time.
What the hell did I miss to do that? LOL
Thanks guys, fix these two items and this will be the best HTC product I've owned.
Thanks,
Mark

I found that disabling the TF3D phonepad speeds things up allot...
( I forgot where to do that, but do a search and you will find it )
And I have taken away the music tab and the internet tab with 'Diamond TF3D Config'...

I also use 'Diamond Advance Config by Boinger66' to tweak it a little...

Getting Rid of TF3D

This thread is for discussion among those of us TD2 users who have dumped, or might dump, TF3D in favour of either another Today screen replacement or the stock WinMo 6.1 Today screen.
Thus far I'm finding the TD2 a hell of a lot more usable without TF3D. Little things like being able to use a lock password with a 15 minute delay, getting auto-Capitalization when writing texts are good, along with a much faster phone, much less memory usage and....it even seems I'm getting better battery life.
Most of the bugs people are reporting are actually TF3D issues which are resolved by ditching TF3D.
So has anyone else taken the plunge and gone back to the standard WinMo6.1?

I used to installed Ultimate Launch then Spb Mobile Shell in my original Diamond. Now I am using TF3D in my Diamond2. I wish Mobile Shell 3 may upload a more bug free version for the new device such as HD and Diamond2 and I may switch back to Mobile Shell. Perhaps WM6.5 release may change my plan and look forward to what HTC still put their manila on top of those WM6.5 device.

As I said, the thread is for people who are NOT using TF3D.
Personally I think WM6.5 will render TF3D completely redundant by handling the one thing it's good at - gloss.
Another thing I've noticed about not using TF3D is that the phone's response to tilting it to landscape and back is a lot faster.

My case as well: I've got the feeling that TF3D is more like a heavy bag.
As soon as I deactivated, the phone became easier to be handled and plus, presenting extra memory/battery resources as well.
However, a Launcher is very much needed, since neither the TF3D, nor the WM's Today screen don't offer the possibility to get to your action choice with only one button-tap.
Is there a good free launcher which can do that?
cheers!

I'm finding judicious use of which apps you put into the Start Menu helps a lot - the apps I use on a daily basis are all there, others I can get to via their presence on the Today screen, such as Tomtom.
The start menu seems to appear quicker than the TF3D one does as well.
Another thing I'm liking is the Today plugin for the RSS reader - TF3D2 didn't seem to handle RSS alerts well, when you acknowledged them it didn't take you into the RSS reader.
Best of all though is the fact I can now password protect my phone properly and delay it for 15 mins so I'm not badgered for the password all the time.
I'm finding that I don't need the stylus much either, despite the smaller menus and so on.
I just can't get over the extended battery life and improved memory usage though!

Without TF3D and three apps running (calendar, contacts and file explorer) my memory is loaded only 38%.
With TF3D it never went under 50%.
As for the battery, I can only say that it seems that lasts longer, but I didn't really seriously monitor it.

I was using PointUI Home2 free version on my Diamond, it's great. Less memory usage, and huge customisability. I had 5 "tabs" with the homescreen (see attachment) calendar & tasks, comms, stock, and weather. Worked great.
The default Home2 theme is a little mucky, but there is a huge range of alternative themes. I made a nice black one that suits the diamond.

If I get rid of TF3D then
- can I alter by normal threaded SMS for to show more than 1 line that I have typed in my new reply (like TF3D does)?
- can I still create push internet sites without TF3D?
- will the hardware button for program files still work? Will this take me to the same screen?
Can I exit TF3D without disabeling it just to check out how things look?
I have disabled and tweaked so much of TF3D that I am also thinking that it is going to be off my device with the 6.5 ROM anyway .... why not do it now.

Assuming you mean the flag button, yes it still brings up the Start Menu, but you'll get the normal WM6.1 one, which contains your most recently used apps, your seven favourite apps you've selected to appear on the menu, a shortcut to Settings and a shortcut to all your Programs.

Just go into All Settings, Personal, Today and uncheck the TF3D box to turn TF3D off. Give it a few days of usage before you make your mind up. Don't forget to turn on and customize the other Today screen plugins to get the full experience.

My thoughts entirely. In a couple of months' time TF3D will be completely redundant anyway.

Incidentally, I've started getting right into Today screen plugins...TodayAgenda is frankly the best app on my phone. I use the Todo (Tasks) app more than any other app on my phone. TodayAgenda allows you to have your task list (with only the active tasks showing, huzzah!) right there on your today screen, so you don't even need to unlock your phone to see what you need to do next! And you can complete tasks and create new ones right there on the Today screen. It's awesome and I can see this becoming my new most-used widget.
Just this one plugin renders TF3D utterly redundant as far as I'm concerned!
The RSS reader has a plugin too, which is really useful.
Does anyone else have good suggestions for really useful Today plugins? I tried PointUI Home2 but that's more of a replacement than a plugin.

Hi Jim,
By TodayAgenda you mean the calendar inputs shown in the Today screen?
If this is so, I'm a little disapointed because it shows only the next one, not the next week ones, let's say...
Is there a way to have more than one event listed?
thanks

No I'm talking about TodayAgenda - it's a plugin, you have to download and install it. It lets you look as far ahead as you like and does both Todos and Calendat entries (although I only use it for Todos).
Also, try WMP Status 1.0, it shows you on the today screen the artist, album, track and track number that you're currently playing in Media Player. Very useful as you don't need to unlock your phone to see what you're listening to!

Incidentally, if you go into Settings / Today and highlight CALENDAR, click OPTIONS, you can set it to show all upcoming appointments instead of just the next one.

Thank you Jim.
It seems that I've missed the Option button.
Thanks for the TodayAgenda tip too.

No problem. Check out WMP Status 1.0 as well, it's really useful when you're listening to music!

Ok, since I droped TF3D, I also dropped the phone dialer skin, leaving the WM one, which is fine for me but apparently it has a bug:
it doesn't show me the calls&contacts, in its scroll-down field, even though there is some information present, because if I tap, it opens the call's details window.
In other words, it's like a list on which the items have the same font color like the list's background.
Did anybody experienced the same?
Is it possible that another dialer skin would change this behavior?

I put Phonealarm and today agenda straight on my phone and removed TF3D its just too restricting. I can get to everything i need with one click on the home screen none of this swishing fingers to get to stuff.

I really don't know what some of yoy are complaining about...
Not Capitalizing the first letter... NONSENS, when i write a SMS the first letter of a sentence is capitalized..
Memory consumption.......
Why do you think this device has so much ???? Because HTC wants you to run TF3D and still have more then enough memory free to run Whatever app......
I was sceptical at first too. But if you give it a chance you will see that once you have seen every screen (without a reboot) it's VERY fast, and very comfortable...
I am sure i will keep TF3D for a while !

I used to run 2 Today pages using Second Today.
Weather (SPB Traveller) , CLauncher and SPB Phone (can't beat the options here) on the 1st Today. SPB Diary full screen on the other (2nd) Today.
Custom links to Internet and GPS Navigation complete the productive config.
I travel for business. Calendar and Contacts and the most important.
TF3D Calendar can't make top 20 on market I would say. Contacts in TF3D are death by scrolling (by default). The new D2 Dialer is more productive for contacts than any of the TF3D contacts screens!
I agree that all these other UIs that don't allow Today plugins are missing the point. People want to pay for and use specialist programs where certain functionality is important to them.

With a WVGA screen, I really wish there were a work around to be able to place more than 7 apps in the start menu. Can't believe I've never found a hack for this.
Alternatively, I love to be able to route the start button to the All Programs folder but never been able to find this either. Two simple things that must not be easy or else we would have seen them before.
BTW, I unchecked TF3D within 24hrs (a month ago). I use SPB Mobile Shell for the shell. For the today screen (WM 6.1) I use Today Agenda, Google Search, Elecont Weather (paid) or WeatherBugDirect (free). I also run all my tasks and appointments from the traditional today screen via TodayAgenda.

Task Tab in TF3D

A long time ago I posted this:
I know that I would donate $10 to someone who can take the time to figure this out. It has to be possible to add a Tasks tab to the TF3D interface.
I don't want to have to switch to second today or anything like that - fully integrated! A clean and simple list of tasks maybe with an "X" delete button on the right side of each task.
I know people say it's impossible, but with some time I'm sure it can be done.
If you would like this too and would be willing to donate some - just leave a post saying so - maybe someone will be enticed to collect such a prize enough to figure it out!
If you do figure it out and post a reply - you're my hero and please set up a thread for donations!
edit: By tasks I mean things you have to do in real life - NOT a list of running programs - linked in to the 'Tasks' program that's a part of outlook...

Now I sort of have it.
With Manila Today Page showing TasksPlus - I now have one of the tabs as tasks well integrated
BUT - I still want it to show a little notification (the little bubble on the e-mail and txt tabs that shows how many of those new you currently have)
Any ideas?

can we get a screenshot of what u have going?

Sorry guys about the delay - Was out of the country

The only things left to fix is a notification bubble to say how many txts I have without scrolling to it and to fix the icon in the TF3d
