Phantom Calendar Entries - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Sorry this is a bit of a double post (I have also put this info in Dutty's ROM thread cause I thought it could be a ROM issue) but I have got an unusual problem:
I'm using Duttys v3.6b ROM and seem to be getting phantom calendar entries.
On the TF3D frontpage, I get meetings like Staff Meeting (Seattle office - Rm 1180) but when i click on them, it takes me to the calendar application where this meeting isn't in my calendar!?! I have synched my device to my Outlook, but they aren't in my calendar
Anyone else getting this/ had this issue? Any advice is much apreciated!
EDIT:
After some more messing it seems to be the TF3D calender that is only affected, as if i disable this and just use the calender option in 'Today' the phantom entry does not appear!

Same issue
Seems to be caused by something that we installed. Have you added something recently?

TF3D - Incorrect unread email notification

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with TF3D's email tab - it's displaying that I have an unread email in my Inbox where in reality I have no unread emails!
I have tried to remove all of my Email accounts, disabled TF3D, soft-reset, then re-enabled TF3D... It's still displaying 1 unread email!
This has occurred with a few ROMs - Dutty's DPT ROM v2, Walshieau's Elite 3.0 and the Stock 1.93.xxx.x.
If anyone knows how to fix this, could u pls let me know. I don't want to flash to another ROM because my current ROM is perfectly fine apart from this one bug. TIA!
Have you tried deleting the email account with the ghost email, and setting it up again? A bit less work and less drastic than a reflash.
All the new ROMs automatically create a "Windows Tips and Tricks" email when you create a new account. Go into the Inbox (using Messaging and not TF3D) and delete this email or mark it as read. That should fix it.

Yeah I realized that too, but I didn't know where I could find it - thanks though; I hard reset instead.
email not displayed
I have a similar problem, my diamond says no accounts when i have an account, its an OMA, account if I click on messages i can see the email but in touchflo it says no account... I have tried messing around with the phone but i can not get it to display the envelope like before, any ideas, please advise...

This happened to me too today. What had happened was that Shozu dropped an email in the main messaging inbox. Deleted that and good to go. Well, good to go after having to re-add my accounts since I deleted those thinking something was "stuck" with one of them
I had this earlier today and after much faffing about i managed to sort this, i believe this is a fault with windows mobile and not touch flo. what i did was go to settings go to the personal tab > today > items tab under that i removed touchflo 3d and enabled messaging instead. go back to the homescreen and it should display 1 new email click on that and then delete the message. then reverse the process to get touchflo 3d back. hope this helps

I also had this problem and was fixed following the above steps. As it said somewhere in this thread MS Outlook creates an email 'Tips and tricks..' and in my case was an unread email. Deleted the email and everything is ok now.

Double Outlook Calendar Entries

Greets,
I have been living with this for a while, and hope someone can help.
Each time I flash a ROM or reformat my home computer, my first sync with my Tilt doubles all calendar entries. SIM contacts are hidden/off ... this has to do with the phone thinking the outlook contents are new to sync.
Does anyone have any idea how to keep this from happening?
Thanks!
Hi,
I had exactly the same problem, annoying in the extreme.
I use the MyPhone service (free) at http://myphone.microsoft.com and this has a Remove Duplicates feature after you have sync'd your Calendar with it. It also does Contacts if ever that become a problem.
Seems to work well and I have recently used it to restore my MDA after a ROM upgrade to check it works.
Hope that helps
John
I have had all contacts double before but not anything else.

TF3D keep crashing when activating "Updates and Events" tab

I am using itje's touch-it rom with Rhodium Manila, but I thought it should be an universal problem so I post it here.
TF3D is working fine for me until today. When I go to the People tab and click All people, then click the "Updates and Events" tab (which linked a lot of my friends' facebook status), TF3D got restarted or just hanged there without showing anything. However, when I click the updates and events through an individual contact (i.e. first choose a contact, then clich the updates and events tab), I am able to update the status without crashing. Moreover, when I clicked "link profiles" in individual contacts, the list of friends does not show up or the whole TF3D crashes.
I guess it may be due to a damaged facebook database on my X1. However I don't know what caused that damage. I am using this function properly and through manual updates only. Are there any fixes? Or, what is the real problem underlying?
Thanks~~

Manila 2.5 Facebook contacts and birthdays

Hi,
I've allready posted my concern a couple of times in the |B|6.5.1|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Leo" 23081/21864 | Oct 28 | ★ Manila 2.5 ★ thread, but nobody is willing or is not able to give me a concrete answer.
In the following quoted message I've described my concern:
giniman said:
With all manila 2.5 versions I've tried so far, the fb contact pictrures are stored under \Windows\FBContacts and will not set as wm contact pictures. All fb pictures and birthdays are shown in manila, not in wm contacts though.
So if you select show more contact informations on manila contact, you will be redirected to the wm contact manager and there are no photos and no birthdays set. That's the reason why the caller ID is not working and also all these informations are not synchronized with outlook
This is really sad, because on manila 2.1 everything was working as expected and this feature is sooooo sweet
So I think this is definitiv a manila 2.5 bug, or a htc feature...lol
Hopefully someone is able to fix that.

I would like to know if this is only a bug in all the ported manila 2.5 roms, or does the original leo manila version has the same strange behaviour?
I can't imagine that htc would remove that great feature...
If anybody could give me a concrete answer to that issue, that would be great
I really like the look an feel of the new manila 2.5, but without that working feature I need to flash back a rom with manila 2.1.
Thx in advance
greetz giniman
I've got the same problem/issue as you.
I try to live with it, but every ROM I'm hoping this issue to be resolved... It's the only thing that I still need for 'the perfect ROM'.
I'am missing that, too.
Maybe the quality of the FB pictures is too bad???
I have the same Problem.
try this for photos: http://www.booksync.co.uk/
"This is an application for Windows Mobile phones that will allow you to synchronise the pictures of the contacts in your phone with profile pictures of your friends on Facebook.
Because phone book contacts may not match with peoples real names on Facebook you first match the contacts. This matching is then stored for future synchronising."

Thx for that tip, I already know that app and I used to use it before manila 2.1
What I mean is that manila 2.5 implements the feature of automatic downloading the fb contact pictures and birthdays, they are not stored in the native wm contact library though. Manila itself is able to show these pictures and birthday events, but wm is not!!
The real strange thing is that with manila 2.1 everything was working correct
Is there any great xda chef out there who is able to fix that?? Or maybe we should ask this question in the Leo section to get the info if this is a general manila 2.5, or only a porting bug.
greetz giniman
I agree this is very strange, why on earth would they not store the information in the native contact? They mus thave implemented their own contact database in addition to the native one, very odd! There is almost no point of facebook integration if you can't sync birthday information and see the photo when they call etc..

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who is missing this feature...
greetz giniman
Glad there's a dedicated thread for this! Its was one of the features that most impressed me when I flashed my first dutty 6.1 ROM, and in fact, got me returning to the same ROM after subsequent 6.5 ROMs lost the feature. I'm currently on Dutty's holy grail 6.5 with manila 2.1, and this only syncs the photo, but not the contact. I tried the 2.5 version and that didn't sync either.
It'd be great to get to the bottom of this but alas I have no programming skills whatsoever so can't be of much help!
all birthdays shifted 1 day
I've got another strange issue with birthdays:
I noticed this at the first 6.5 rom I flashed (dutty's R6) - ALL birthdays are shown 1 day shifted after syncing from exchange! When I correct some and sync again - nothing happens with the 'original' contact @ exchange, where the birthday always was correct.
E.g.: My contact card in manila shows my birthday as the 8th february, though my birthday is on the 9th - also the exchange contact states the 9th feb.
When I now correct my birthday on my phone and sync with exchange, nothing happens to the exchange contact birthday, but the phone-contact-birthday stays correct. But when I hard-reset my phone and sync again - guess what: all birthdays shifted again... So WTF?
When I sync a contact with FB it shows the correct date in addition - so 2 birthdays are shown....
Am I alone with this?
[edit]
I'm on duttys holy grale R0 manila 2.5 right now
OK I did some more testing, here is what I found using Miri's 12.0 ROM. Obviously with different ROMs you may have different results.
- Birthdays downloaded do go into WM contacts, and then are sync'ed via Activesync (hooray!)
- Photos do not, but can be selected manually using WM contacts and then sync - normally this appeared in outlook, but not always. But borwsing to the Windows\FBContacts folder is very slow, 2 minutes to select each photo, since it displays a preview of all the folders. It would be nice if you could turn that off, or choose another folder to save contacts in (e.g. outside Windows). Pictures also look good both on the people screen and in outlook contacts and when calling.
- When you select a facebook contact to associate with, you have to wait for it to show the photo otherwise it never downloads it and you have to re-associate
- Also, I tried creating a shortcut to FBcontacts folder to make selecting a picture quicker, but that doesn't work
- If you let it show all photos of everyone when associating an account, it will download all photos into FBContacts whether you associate the acount or not. You could then therefore copy the folder somewhere else, and then manually assign each picture to each Windows contact. I put it in DCIM\100MEDIA as this makes it quickes when adding to a contact.

Dutty's R7 did work - his newest "holy grail" doesn't.
try this: contact (htc app) -> edit (one of your FB contacts) -> tick the picture! (upper right corner)
for me the FB option is grayed out, strangely enough...although the account is associated????
HTC do not comply with Windows Mobile standard. With each upgraded version of its Manila the situation will get worse I think.

I noticed this also and I'm on XannyTech's 2.0c with Manila 2.5 - I wonder why all birthdays are all shifted by 1 day??
Any resolution?
Manila 2.5 has completely screwed my birthdays up. I'm using google calendar through the google-sync exchange thing. Every so often I get a message on the phone saying "A change on the server means all data needs to be re-synchronised". After that the birthdays get shifted by a day. It's happened a few times which means people have birthdays spanning 4 or 5 days now. Last time it happened about 20-30 birthdays and anniversary appointments appeared in my google calendar for today's date. No idea what is going on, but it's definitely shafted.

I think the only satisfactory answer will be for someone with official WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 (any HD2 owner? ) to try it out and report the outcome.

I'll post this evening a thread in the Leo section. Hopefully someone is able to tell me if this strange behaviour also occurs on official Leo WM6.5 Manila 2.5 roms.
With NRGZ manila 2.5 roms all my birthdays where also messed up. So I switched to XannyTech rom 1.9b/2.0b and everything was fine. As far as I figured out the shifting problem with the birthday events, it seems that this behaviour has something to do with the timezone, which has not to be set on first boot on NRGZ roms.

[Q] Syncing calendar with facebook events, but times of events are wrong

The dates from facebook that go into my calender are showing up in my calender a few hours off. Ive tried other calendars, and it doesnt seem to help. Right now im using Pure Calender. An event on facebook that starts at 4pm is showing up on my device as 9am. Anyone know whats going on? Ive already tried messing with the timezone on my computer and facebook.
It's a timezone problem with Facebook. The only solution I've found is directly importing my FB events to google calender and just getting them from there.
How do you import the facebook events into google? I think I need to mention that the times only show up incorrect when they are on a widget calender that I have placed on my home screen. The actual calender itself shows them correctly, just the widgets ive used show them hours off.
I have this issue when syncing the TouchWiz calendar with Google calendar. My times is off by one hour, so I checked the timezone settings on both the phone and google's, but none of them were the issue. I still haven't found a solution.
I also replaced the Touchwiz calendar with the stock android calendar, but I still have the same issue.
Any other ideas?
I have same issue on my HTC Desire (2.2). Would be cool if Facebook added time-zone functionality for their events, or if someone made it possible to chose an off-set on your device for Facebook events before importing them into calendar.
You can export Facebook events and/or birthdays and import them into Google calendar with FB application called Fdcal (it has time-zone option). Application is not working flawlessly, I got my events to show into Google calendar, but couldn't export birthdays for some reason.
But this will not solve your issues, because there was no way I could get those events to show on my phone. In Gemini calendar you get an option to check on those additional calendar subscribed on your Google one, but they don't show in my phone either for some reason.
The only workaround I found so far is that once those event show in Google calendar, you can easily duplicate them (save them as Google calendar entries), and those will show once the sync kicks in.
I'm waiting for someone to come up with easier solution

i'm having the same issue, the event is 8 hrs late when it appear in my SGS calendar
Has anyone already solved this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my SGS and the XXJPO firmware.
Well I haven't done anything, but problem IS solved on my HTC Desire for quite some time now. Can't say exactly when it was fixed (or if it was fixed by HTC or Facebook), but event times in my stock calendar that is synced with Facebook are now ok.
On my Touchwiz-Calendar it's working fine, too.
Just in every calendar widget I tried so far, the facebook events are shifted by one hour.
So I am in the time zone GMT+1 but the event gets displayed like I would be in GMT+0.
As a workaround I switched the time zone in my phone to GMT+0, so now the times for the fb-events are correct, but this is causing other problems now.
