Is there any way to change the theme to have more than one appointment on the screen at one time?
Cheers
Lee
When I have multiple appointments on my Today screen, it shows a maximum of two, and if I have more than two coming up (say, tomorrow) but I'm still on today's appointment, it will show the first appointment for tomorrow and then as soon as my current appointment is finished, it'll update to show both of tomorrow's...
... Do you mean you want to display more than two?

Yes - exactly - I want display more than two - say 3 or 4 - there must be a way to it since plug-ins can display?
Does PPC work the same way as Smartphone? ie - XML for the homescreens?
To achieve this, you'll need a Today plugin which offers this kind of functionality... The first that springs to mind has got to be Pocket Breeze ( http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/ ) - I don't use it myself, but I think I may try it out sometime soon (saw it a while back, noted it, but never got round to trying it out).
Or if you're either a dab hand at programming (or know someone who's fearless enough to undertake some) then you could always try writing your own Today screen plugin...

SPB Diary will also accomplish the same thing. http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=17704&associateid=17
Hmmm....not sure about Pocket Breeze thing - it's a bit much for just one function! And I like a nice clean Today screen - PB just make it look "busy".
Looks like I'll have to read-up on xml - unless anybody else knows a simple solution?

Hey everyone,
I'm sick of trying to get the HTC Home weather thing to work. I've tried replacing DLL's, editing XML files, and installing a couple different versions. None seem to work so I'm moving away from this weather app.
I'm looking for a standalone app that will show me local weather along with a 5 or 7 day forecast. It would also be nice if I could store other city's to it as well so I can see the weather at different places.
I don't want a today screen plugin. I just want to be able to open this application, view the weather, and close it.
Anyone have a good program for that? Free or paid I don't care... I'm just looking for the best & most stable.
It isn't just a weather app, however SPB traveller when opened shows the cities you have specified with their weather, high and low temps for 4/5 days depending on the view you select.
It will show you their time and conversions to your local money.
It is likely to be a bit bloated for what you require, however it works exceptionally well and I haven't had any issues with it.

"Weather Watcher" is exactly what you are looking for. It will do multiple cities, current conditions, hourly, extended forecast, weather alerts, and a zoom-able radar of the city you have selected. You can set it to automatically update or update it manually. Best part is that it is free. You can get it here.

Thank you for the program. Seems to work pretty well. I had to make Opera NOT by default browser through... otherwise it wouldn't work. It basically loads IE into the program and you view webpages.
But... very cool. Thanks again

I'll check it out... but just from looking at the program it does seem a tad too bloated for what I'm looking for. But thank you
I liked Weather Watcher too, but it won't open HTML pages since Opera was my default.
I uninstalled Opera and it still wouldn't work. Did you have to change any settings?

With Opera installed I went into settings and made sure to un-check make opera the default browser.
After I did that it worked.

Let me rephrase it: I couldn't get it to working using Opera Mini
try weather panel. in case you have the SP BMobile hsell, you can insert the program as one of the tabs. I love it. It's the best, and I've tried them all.
I use PocketWeather, very detailed.
ekhhhh...im really getting frustrated, none of these programs work with a proxy connection! does anybody know a weather program that works with a proxy connection? thanks

Well Weather Watcher is in deed free. I'm afraid to say you might have settings problems on your GPRS connection. I have Proxy and it worked perfectly for me. If you care to share our DevInfo, I'll see if I can help.
Hi there,
Where did you get Weatherpanel free, all the version I got asked for registration key and even if I put it in it still asked me for it again, like I never entered it. I'm using Pocket Weather now and its pretty good.(Not free though)
You can try this one. It's free and loaded to the gills w/ info. Including hourly.

GPS Full Screen Speedometer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speedometer not working? Maybe you're tired of your dimmly lit stick and bars speedometer. Well here's a better, easier, and possibly safer way to maintain and moniter your speed without the extensive work and expensive changes to your vehicle. It's skinnable in many different color choices and easy to use!

Nice find. Works good.
Speedo, lol.
Cool, thanks for this!
Just gave 'er a try - works very well. A bit laggy, but that's the phone's fault. I think it may be fun to play with (maybe I can get a lock in a plane... would look less GPS-ish).
I'm a nerd and like data.
for the on the plane i've used NoniGPS plot and saved the whole plot to KML and can upload to Google Earth. It's pretty neat, because each point that gets tagged shows you the current speed, point on map, elevation, etc. it's really neat.
That's very cool. about to try installing it right now. Next i'll need a g-force meter .)
GREAT!!
I installed this application a week ago and it works very well when you are driving at a steady pace, like on the highway. However, when you are speeding up or driving in traffic it is not accurate, pretty laggy. With that said, I give it a thumbs up for the application. Great app!!!
shout out with a video: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1695
nice work
What happens after 100mph?
Got it to work on my Sprint TPro.. just in time. I need to calibrate my bike speedo. The sprint telenav is too hard to see.
Hopefully this works well to calibrate with my speedo healer.
Nice app, does it also have a function to show KM/h instead of MP/h? And what happens if you do 100+? Does it automatically resize the numbers or will it stick at 99?
Thanks in advance.

WOW! You have no idea how long I have been looking for something like this. I have tried dozens of really sh*tty apps, some trial versions of EXPENSIVE software and none of them do what this one does without hassle.
Thank you for mentioning this!
I currently use a utility called gps altimeter, which i found in the diamond forum. Great for lat, long, tas, altitude

Yes it switches over to Km/h and yes it also will go over 100
It would be perfect if you could mirror it so we could use it as a HUD display in the car

its nice but works only 10 min...
Does someone has the full version of this app?
Thanks
So whats so special about that program over this one? It has a mirror effect that's it. The rest of it is no different but is free.
You must see how its work at night when displays speed on glass...
Pls help me to unlock this app.
Hi,
just noticed that where the Kaiser downloads the weather for us here in Australia is often wrong. Is there a way that I can get the weather information from http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS10034.shtml and to display it in the "Weather" section?
Don't know about BOM but you can get the weather from the Age newspaper if you're using SPB Weather (or SPB Traveller or something, I'm confused) using a script written by Andrew Kirkland (AndrewK). Found it somewhere on another board. Try googling the name, or look through the SPB support area. Just can't remember exactly where I saw it. It's accurate if you d/load in the morning but a day out if you D/L in PM! Don't know about native HTC app (is there a weather app in WM or HTC?).
Hope that helps (and I haven't confused you too!).

Where/how is it "wrong"? I am a weather junkie and often cross compare BOM's current condition http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN60901/IDN60901.94767.shtml with the results on my phone...
The only time it is "wrong" is due to rounding off the decimal or a case of timing
SPB Weather or Traveller as mentioned before allows for diffeent locations, However the "Age Script" is not much use.
I have shortcuts to BOM's rain radar and to the above link and access them regularly... HTC weather is to make my phone pretty and give me current conditions at a glance
I find the WM7 calendar to be the worst feature of the phone. No Week view, no colour organising, no config settings etc etc
But what's really bugging me is the default time slots when you add an appointment. I run a rehearsal studio and the majority of the appointments I book are 3 or 4 hours.
The calendars defaults go 0mins, 30mins, 1hr, 90mins, 2hr, All day.
Does anyone know if these defaults can be changed to something that is more useful to me. I've looked in the registry but not really sure what I should be looking for.
And how come there are no alternative calendars on Marketplace??
You don't get a straight up week view, but scrolling up or down to jump days is simple and quick. Or, just pop to the month view and tap the day you want. That's also fast.
For a new appointment, the last option is Custom, and will allow any time frame you choose.
No answers for your other issues. Maybe these coming updates will alter some calendar features and functions.
Thanks but that doesn't really help at all...
Firstly no Days when scrolling, just dates. Clients always ask for "next thursday" or "sunday evening" etc. I have to work out of look up what the date would be then
Secondly the custom option, you need to enter the end time in manually. its just a pain when you have to enter somthing like 18:30.
Copy and paste would solve 50% of the issues as a lot of clients can just be copied and pasted to their new date.
Other than this issue, I actually really like the phone.
Yes, you get days and dates when scrolling. If I tap my calendar tile, which takes me to Today, scroll up (for force the calendar down), it shows, right at the top, Friday, March 04, 2011.
If you dont know the date for the thursday after next, just tap the Month button at the bottom. BAM, Thursday after next is the 17th.
Copy and Paste will arrive shortly, though I doubt very much it will alleviate the issues you state.
on mine, the top of the calendar just displays "04 MARCH 2011" whether I'm in agenda view or day view. No day.
copy and paste would help as with most clients I just copy their 7-10pm slot and paste it to next week 7pm... in theory!
On WM6.5 I used "agenda one" and it did everything I needed. I find it odd that there is not a single replacement calendar available on marketplace.
What is this "WM7" of which you speak?

My HD7 doesnt show a day either. Odd that it is different for different people.
I have to agree with the OP. The calendar is truly awful. I too do not have days listed in agenda or day view, only the date ! I seem to recall seeing in a early preview video of WP7 in the monthly view it showed colour bars on the days to indicate which entry belonged to different calendars. But mine doesn't do this, and it would be nice if it did. It would allow me to differentiate between work and personal appointments etc. whilst in monthly view which is what I use the most for a "glance and go" experience.
My solution, to continue carrying my TP2, and continue using Pocket Informant, IMHO, the best calendar available. Until WP7 allows the option to colour code days, support categories, allows multiple icons on a day, in monthly view, then I don't see any other option.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing WP7, I love my HD7, but I always knew version 1 would be lacking in functionality, and I'm a heavy calender user, often with 10 plus appointments a day, in multiple categories, so WP7 just doesn't cut in at the moment, which is my only real gripe at present.

Mine does this (Windows Live is blue, Outlook is Red)
Scratch that... wow... the monthly view USED to, I swear. Maybe because I disabled the Live calendar for a time... hmmm
Colours in the Calendar are used to distinguish between the calendars of different accounts, you cannot assign colours to events without putting the event into the appropriate account.
For instance, the calendar in Windows Live might be purple, and the one from Google Mail might be red. Your event will either be purple or red depending on whether it resides in the Windows Live calendar or the Google one.
Changing the Long date in the Regional settings does not give you the weekday in the Calendar app.
Odd, maybe the date thing is a US v. Euro issue?

Thanks. I can confirm that works.
Are there any other effects of changing the display language from Uk to US ?
I'd still like to find out about displaying a coloured bar on individual days within the monthly view denoting which calendar the entries belong too. I'm sure I saw this feature in a video preview ???

Yes, this certainly works. It is a long-standing problem with MS Phones; the old Windows-Mobile suffered from the same problem, but at least it was possible to tweak the registry to fix it.
For some reason, Microsoft seems to believe that Europeans do not use the day-name in their calendars. . I wish there was some way of telling them that they are wrong

I haven't come across any weird things. There are 12/24 hour settings somewhere which I changed to 24 hour as well as tweaking the short and long date display to be as I want them. Quite happy with that all now.
