Calendar Reminder? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Is there anyway to change the calendar reminder that shows on the today screen, as it is right now my calendar only checks one day ahead and reminds on the today screen, on my old htc touch you could enter a task 5 days ahead and it would still remind you on the todayscreen....
Any way of changing this? Maybe a regtweak or something...

OMG this is question # 87 on this.
With all respect.

Is there any way to change the theme to have more than one appointment on the screen at one time?
Cheers

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?

Did some more browsing, found some goodies on PocketPCFreewares:

Both look pretty good, I think I'll try them both.

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?

[Help] TouchFLO 3D - Calendar only can show next day appointemts...

Hi All,
I've got a problem on my Diamond TouchFLO 3D,
I didn't know why but now my Diamond only can show the next day appointemts...
But before I can show NEXT appointemts even the appointemts is come on few days.
I've try to HARD RESET but no use. Did any one has an idea for it? Thanks a lot.
p.s.
But if I close the TouchFLO 3D and go back to "Calendar" with "Today" is work fine...
Hmmm, I experience the same problem here. I have appointments in my calendar for today, but the only thing I see in the home screen of TF3D is my first appointment tomorrow... It may have started when I flashed Elite 2.0 ROM this weekend, but I'm not sure. Anyone?
Same here....
It says that tomorrow is my day off and the 2nd event is that I have to work today....usually it's the other way around....First my workday (today) and afterwards as a 2nd event day off (tomorrow)
Hi guys, this has been discussed many times, if you search you will find many other threads.
In short, this is what the Diamond does - you cannot change it. It will show 1-2 events at the same time and also a whole day event like someones birthday. If you want more you will have to install a third party calendar.

Hi Krillo, Thank you for your reply but I think you are miss understand what I'm ask. I know what you said but my problem is:
TouchFLO 3D - Calendar just only can show next day appointemts. That's means if today is Monday and I've an appointemt on Friday. The TouchFLO 3D - Calendar Tap do not show any appointemt untill to Thursday, Then the TouchFLO 3D - Calendar can show I've an appointemt on tomorrow (Friday)
But if I close the TouchFLO 3D and switch to Today Calendar. All appointemts show correctly. Do you have any idea of that?
Thanks
I have the save problem....
It is for reasons like this that I think TF3D is not as good as SPB Mobile Shell which is now my preferred system.... This programme shows 3-4 appointments on the today screen and they could be days away. Surely showing these is very important, so why is TF3D not able to? CHANGE TO SPB!!!!

Is there allready a solution to show more than 1 calender event in TF3D homescreen??

I have read a lot about people who are looking for a solution to show more than 1 or sometimes 2 calender events under "the big clock" in TF3D home screen.
I have searched thrue whole xda but i couldn't find a solution for this except for using third party software....
Is there anybody who can tweak this or do a registry add. so that it will show all todays appointments and or upcoming app.
Sorry for my bad english, but i know that a lot of people also wants this so please help!
I wonder what could be done as there is not enough space for more than one line as far as I see.

you know you can slide the clock up right!
i was also looking for this problem but didn't find anything
afaik now, this is an issue with WM. it always shows only the next appointment.
if you want to display more appointments, you need a plugin (e.g. TodayAgenda)
there must be someone here with a solution....
indeed we can scroll the time up but then we loose the funky themed Hellboy clock
What we really need is the ability to turn off functions we dont need, for example, I don't need "Alarm" or "Call history" displayed. If these were removed from this screen then there would be enough space for another 2 calender entries. Indeed, why do we even need the word "Calender" displayed, is this not obvious from the text below it i.e. the appointment/birthday etc???
it is not an windows mobile issue !
if you disable tf3d you will see more than one ore two entries; if configured in the today section of wm.
it is an issue concerning tf3d afaik without a solution yet.
regards
t.

which sucks donkeys..... Its a shame that HTC employees have such limited lives or they would of noticed this little bit extra needed functionality very quickly.
Use advanced config to change what appointments are shown on your home screen. I have mine set to 'next appointment, and all todays events.' 2 appointments show only when I have an appointment on the current and the next. Still want it to show my next appointment regardless of how far ahead it is. Anyone else had any luck?

That doesn't allow TF3D to show more than one all day event though. Not on mine anyhow
Not just the Calendar show only tomorrow and not day after, the fonts are too small and not using System fonts that define in Screen>> Text,
The solution is to use Second Today screen, so u can add extarnal free program like Today Agenda with many many options..
I would have thought that the advanced config people could change the option to simply "show x no. of apointments". I have the clock minimised and there is loads of space with blank tiles at the bottom of the screen for another 2 appointments

Agreed. On the face of it it doesn't seem like it would be too tricky to fix but the lack of a solution deems otherwise. We sit and wait.
if u use s2u2 can u display up to 6 events in a maximum range of 100 days...
obiviously it's all displayed in the unlock screen!
I use the s2u2 method mentioned above.
I have to say that its an elegant solution, I can check my appointments by just touching the power button without even having to unlock.
Have to agree with S2UL as the solution to your problem! Give it a try, you'll be impressed.

[Q] app ability to silence during meetings on calendar

Hey
The one thing I've missed the past 2 years of using my G1 since release that I haven't been able to replace yet is silencing the phone during meetings. On my old WinMo phone, the phone would go to vibrate during meetings on my outlook calendar, and I was just wondering if an app or setting for that ability has been created for the G1 yet. I have been too lazy to keep up with anything on my g1 recently, I had JF 1.5 for the longest time.... but anyways, if you guys know anything that replicates this, please tell me!
Thanks
guessing that android is still half the OS that Windows Mobile was? =(
just slicker and open source, so that all the moths get attracted to the bug zapper =(
nothing that can solve this problem?
Use tasker or locale with the plugin "Locale Calendar Plug-in", if I'm right about what you want and what these programs do.
I use Auto Task (Free) on my G1. Have a profile set to have it silent at the beginning of an event, and then restore at end.
