Greets,
I recently was duped into thinking a meeting, which was a week away, was actually that day ... because the Tilt shows the next appointment regardless of how far in the future that appointment is.
Does anyone know how to set the Tilt to show only appoints for the current day?
Thanks!
Start \ Settings \ Today \ Items \ Calendar \ Options has 3 Selections:
Display : Next Appointment (Radio Button)
Display : Upcoming Appointments (Radio Button)
and a check box to display all day events.
From what I am seeing in the options, unless you have selected upcoming appointments, you can't change it. I haven't used the default calendar in a LONG time, and never in WM6. There might be a registry entry you could change, but I have no idea on how to "phrase" the search.
There are many 3rd party programs that can display your calendar. I use pocket breeze, but there are others, and even a couple of good freebies.
I personally use PocketBreeze also and you don't have to worry about this with all of the settings (its just trying to get all of the dang settings configured right as there are SO MANY! ).
TodayAgenda is a free app that works pretty well and may resolve this for you. Check it out (a lot of people use it here). I paid for PocketBreeze and like the speed of it better, and the tabs it gives for different things on the Today Screen.
SPB Diary?
The SPB line of software seems to be really comprehensive ... I am looking thru the SPB Diary manual to try to see if it would work too.
Anyone tried Calendar+? I used it on my PPC 6700 - not sure if it supports WM6 - was a very small and basic calendar replacement that was very customizable.

It is annoying and you would have thought Microsoft would have upgraded some of the internal apps by now (been like this since CE!) I fell into the same trap as you earlier in the year. Not wanting to add another package, I then started actually putting the date/time on the Title of my appointments which shows up on the today screen.
Hi there,
I'm used to having all my upcoming appointments on my today screen, with my old tytn. Now, only one or two (when one is currently happening) are shown in the touchflo today screen. is there a way to edit this? I'd like to know what my upcoming events are without having to open my calender.
Regards,
Lynck
please do a search (top left of the screen, the brown band, between "new posts" and "quick links") before you post. look around maybe somebody already asked this.

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!!!!
Hi guys,
i am looking for a way to disply a "Motto of the day" on the today screen.
The "Motto of the day" is meant to be a motivation phrase from my own collection. I can store this in a text strin or similar.
All I could find are religious software displaying something from the Bible or the Koran but thoses text can not be eddited.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Michael
We can just start our motto of the day today screen here.Every day someone can post the motto of the day. For Sunday:
" Live every day like it is your last, 'cause one of these days, you'll be right "
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?

That's strange. My calender also shows the day as well as the date at the top of the screen.

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?

Change display language to US and then the date can include the day.

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.
