Calendar On Home Screen

Is there a way to have more than 1 calendar event show up on the home screen like there was for the Touch Cruise?
thanks for your help!

Maybe the same as SPB Diary so like 31 days???

I've been looking for a way to show more calendar entries on the home screen too. Haven't found anything in any of the options or settings. Maybe in the registry?

Dunno either but will be watchingthis thread with anticipation !

1. Is there a much better calendar that can be installed and totally take over the existing calendar (even show events on the home screen)
If not, anyone know how to stop the calendar going straight into Agenda view when u hit calendar on the home screen. Ive set it so it shows in Month view as default. But this only works if you run calendar in Programs. If you run calendar via the home screen - it still takes you to agenda view. Even if I have an event there I still prefer to go to Month view

the calendar ONLY shows today's appointments.

Not even that. Sometimes it only shows the next appointment, sometimes it shows two. I haven't figured out what the second appointment has to be in order for it to be shown. Maybe only "busy" status? It's weird. I wish it could show upcoming appointments like the regular Calendar today item.

In the manual it says that it will only show 1 all day appointment and up to 2 timed appointments. I've found the first timed appointment always shows, but sometimes getting the second to show up is a problem. Don't know if it's status or time.

Sure there is, have a look at the freeware TodayAgenda

With the main clock minimized, the TouchFLO should show up to 4 events.
Hopefully this will work in the next version.

I'm looking for the same. (Thanks search function!)
I agree it shows only one full day appt and one timed in my case. I didn't find any tweak.

Hi,
TF3D shows 1 all day appointment and 1 or 2 appointments. It shows 2 appointments only if the first is already started. So the actuel started and the next to come.

This app only changes the default links that TF3d connects to - not the look of touch flow. I.E. if you install Pocket Informant (which is excellent by the way) it will now link to that rather than the default WinMo calendar.
One compromise to improve quick viewing of calendar, tasks etc is to install Second Today and then a today plugin such as Pocket Breeze.

Hi I am actually wondering if Calendar is able to show the next upcoming appointments that is due in a few days time. My appointments will only show if the appointment's timing is on the following day.

this seems to be one of the most complained about short comings of tf3d. thought HTC would have addressed the issue already.
think I must have spent my first day owning a diamond crawlingthrough the registry looking for a value to increase the may appointments.

sighz. So no tweaks to display the upcoming appointments eh?

anything new on this topic?

By using SecondToday, is works perfect. You just need to tap & go instantly. Mentioned by earlier post by "ericsson68". Maybe more convincing by looking at the following screenshots. Click on the lower left will bring you to Second Today screen. Click OK return to 3D TouchFlo screen. Isn't that amazing . . .

Contact's Bday Reminders - Added to Calendar - ?

I have a contact X on the diamond - I put up the birthday for this contact, on my diamond. But it doesn't get updated onto the Calendar.
Ok, I THINK it will work when I sync it with the OUTLOOK. (well it should, logically, but then it's microsoft, so I guess anything is possible, anyways, giving them the benefit of the doubt, let's assume it will work)
My question is, is there a way to make this work without having to Sync to Outlook?
I mean, it seems pointless to have that detail in the contacts option, if it's not going to add it to the calendar.
Any help will be appreciated.

I would like to know if it's possible too.
I amusing best birthday, but it doesn't import contacts to calendar, so I have to launch it every time I want to check if there is any birthday...

I just tried it with the sync to outlook thing, seems to be working. For now anyways.
Of course, alternatively you could set up all the bdays in the outlook contacts.. and then Outlook will add those up as Calendar events (which it does) .. and then you sync the diamond again.
Which, would work..
But, it would be a hell lot easier if the WM6 would take care of this on it's own, without having to sync.
I mean, there is a field for putting up Bday and Anniversary.. it SHOULD take it to the Calendar..
Am I missing something?

You are right. My previous phone i used SBSH pocketbreeze for that function. But the drawback with the diamond is, that because of the touch3d we are not able to place more nothing anymore on the today screen.

Lost my favorite feature
Hello,
I used a very nice software on my old ETEN M600 called "Birthday" (made by David Andrs) that was a Today pluging. It was displaying days remaning, name and age of contacts for a customizable number of days before and after his birthday. I'm very sad to loose this functionnality on my Diamond
If you have any idea to retrieve this functionnality for this beautiful and powerful diamond, I would be very happy.

Contact with Birthday!

Contacts may have lots of information including birthday! Entering birthday, does it mean that, you will be notified of the birthday, or is it just there?
Did anybody try that?

Yes, you will get notified of that persons birthday.

no alert
I tried to set a birthday in a contact a day ahead. Didn't get any notification of the birthday. Is there anything I have to set in order to have work?

i use Vbirthday..... it works fine. it shows you the actual (or the next) age of the contact, and the days to the date of BD... it synchronizes with your outlook contacts but you can add new "events" (birtdays, anniversary etc). hope this useful. bye

not working

Just tried to install Vbirthday and it does not work with my HTC Diamond :-(
Is there any other alternative which sends notifications and alerts on birthdays??
Tried NS Birthday but does not send notifications, it only displays birthdays in one place!

sir, read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424381

I have found that once you set a birthday for a contact after a few sync's with your Calander and PDA with Activesync it appears in the calander as a recurring event. Then you can edit the recurring event in Outlook calander and sert alarms/whatever.
Alternative is to just add birthday /anniversary/sacred day...whatever as a recurring event and add the alarms you want (best with outlook and then sync)
Job done

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting

Active Sync / Windows Mobile Device Center & Outlook do that for you.
Sync. your device with Outlook to mark birthdays on your calendar.
Birthdays will show up as a full day event.

Utility
It would otherwise be nice to have a little tool that looksup your contact book and from there, it check all birthdays and build a database with notifications and alerts

Birthday reminder on HTC Diamond

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how you use the agenda birthday reminder with HTC Diamond ? I've just bought the phone and sync it with mail2web (outlook exchange service on Internet). The phone is not reminding me birthdays which is annoying me...
Before, I was using TYNT II with Spb Diary plugin which was great ! It was showing the coming birthdays and also ringing the D-day.
I read that other Diamond users had also this kind of issue. To solve it they manage birthday's on Outlook contact (on their computer) to generate entire day event and then sync it with their phone.
Do you know another way to get this reminder work ?
Thank you

i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... HOW CAN i USE BIRTH REMINDER ON TOUCH FLO.
ANY BODY KNOW???
LEO

It seems that no one else has this kind of problem....

i do, but i haven't any solutions for this ****ty bug

Finally I've manually created reminders in the calendar...

I have all the birthday in the Outlook (like meeting)
and all ok after sync the Phone with the Outlook (to outlook exchange server at work via the Internet)
Just open the Outlook and add new Item in the Calender , cycle it evey year as u add the item (Press on the Recurrence button), that all ...

I have added birthdays to my contacts in outlook. Is there away to make those show up on the today screen? its kinda odd the calender is only for meetings or perhaps i am missing something here.
I assume i could add birthdays by hand in outlook but that kinda defeats the idea when you can have it all in the contact info.
Regards

I use Birthdays 1.2.10, so I don't need to touch the calendar.
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/birthdays/

I know Birthdays 1.2.10 but this programm don't work with manila3d
becaus all today pugins don't work with manila3d

The funniest thing
In also seem to have a birthday related problem.
I bought my diamond several months ago and synced it with my compu (outlook 2007). I just yet noticed it didn't sync all my birthday info. (The info is in he contacts, the birthdays just aren't coming up in my calender, neither on my compu nor on my phone ).
Is there a way to 'update' the calender in such way all birthdays come back to my calender?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
If you enter the birthday in outlook contacts, normally a all day event will be created in outlook. please check if this is ok. finally i have turn off the reminders for this events, because the alarm will go on at 11.45 pm by default. This all day events appears on my home sreen in TF3D.
\\yoshi

maybe U can to use a software like mToday and to have 2 Today profiles ... one with manila and other with regular WinMo plugins
http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=mToday&platform=ppc

I think you need to synchronise it with outlook on your pc for it to take effect. Outlook on the phone isn't smart enough to figure it out by itself apparently, but I've just synched it with my pc, it's showing up in the calendar in outlook and in the calendar on the phone.

Is it possible that there is no any simple WM application to check contacts evey day for birthdays.
Pocket PC should be smarter than some "smartphones"

I want my contacts to be first name then last name. Possible?

As the title states, I cant figure out how to stop having my contact list put the last name first. I want it organized by first name.
Is this possible?

It is possible, and can be done by using the 'file as' drop down when editing contacts in Outlook on your PC, then re-syncing with your diamond.
Don't know of a way to do it stand alone though.

That's probably why I would think; I use Outlook, and it works fine... can't speak for your app, sorry.

There's actually a tiny freeware program that does just that, bulk on all your contacts: Contact Utilities v1.0b.
I've used it exactly for this and it worked perfectly

I just save them without a space between first and second names, that guarantees it will be the same on any phone ( e.g. if you go skiing and temporary transfer sim card to another phone or change phone to completely different model)

When you people talk about Outlook, do you mean the old crapy Outlook or brand new kick a*s Windows Live Mail?

they are two different lines of product, Outlook is not old, the latest version is 2007 .. I suppose this one

Actually, I'm willing to buy a Htc Touch diamond, but I've always hated outlook, and I'm kind of more fund on WL Mail... I've been using it quite a lot (About 20 mails a day) and I'm not willing to change my habits... So I wanted to know if
1) The mail tab on TouchFlo shows WL acounts
2) Will contacts on WL Mail be synchronised with the TD?
Thanks for replies.
