I know that while creating a new appointment, WM6/Office Mobile does not have the capability to let you set a different time zone for that appointment -like Outlook on a PC. I have searched for quite a while on this site and elsewhere using different combinations of seach phrases to locate a solution to this - a hack or a addon application or a replacement for the built in calendar program with this capability - either freeware or commercial. It is a strong irritant for me because at least half of the entries in my calendar need to be created with time zones set to a zone different from mine. Each time I have to do a calculation in my mind to add or subtract the difference before creating an appointment. If I dont do that and then I go travelling all appointments get shifted to wrong time slots. Anyway to a cut a long story short - I did find an application called TimeZones on www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php which seems to do exactly what I need - However that does not work on WM6 !!!! presumably this was written for some older version of WM.
I am sure there are many people out there for whom this will be a very useful feature.
Any help in finding a solution to this will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Bump!
Several days and no comments! Either I am one of the very few who is bugged by this problem or there is no solution! I am afraid of the later because I didn't even get flamed for not searching before asking!!!!!
Try SPB Traveler. It does exactly what you want.
Thanks a lot. I will give it try right away
Does PocketInformant allow this?
On thie site:
Multiple Alarms, Travel Appointments
Beyond the primary alarm, you can now add secondary alarms, notifications and travel appointments to new and existing appointments
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This was in the manual:
There is almost no difference between the dialog you see when creating a new appointment, and
the one you see when you edit an existing one. The only exception is with Appointment
Timezones which only show up for new appointments.

Thanks guys for your help. Of the two Pocketinformant is more like what I needed. Many of the goodies in SPB Traveller are already available on Worldmate (free version). Thanks again for the suggestions
Dear all,
I could not find ant thread about this topic.
The clock of my Diamond runs slow, so that I have to put the correct timing every two-three days. Any hint which the problem might be?.
Thanks a lot,
José.
Same with mine
I have also found any hint, anyone an idea?
My ROM is AnjaRom CleanV2 1.93.707.1 GER
Radio 1.00.25.05
Best idea I have is to make sure that you clock is set to automaticly update (this for some reason is often not a default setting)
To do this go into your settings, and then into the shortcut called "Phone"
At the bottom find the tab called "Time Zones" (you may have to scroll over to find it)
Make sure "Automatic change time zone and clock." is checked.
Hopefully it is not, and this solves your problem
I got this problem also
Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
O hai fellow tweakers!
I have problems that keep meddling with my daily life, which it does really troublesome.
1) My clock always get delay everything hour. Like, for a day it get delays up to 30 minutes.
2) How to change the location of the photos preview at the photo section on WinMo 6.5 stock interface?
Thanks much for your people's help. ; )
1) Check the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644783
If it doesn't solve your problem, try disabling "Automatic change time zone and clock" in Start > Settings > Phone
2) I don't understand what you mean, are you talking about M2D? Or the default WM Pictures & Videos program??
Which ROM are you using?
I have check that thread. That's is not my problems. Mine is I get delayed like 1/2 minutes each hour pass. Result in one day, I get delayed almost 30 minutes. If I leave it on, it will delayed more and more.
Default one. I use Evo Ultimate ß.
Another question I have in mind is, how can I change the no format in the phone when dialling. Like (XXX) XXX XXXX to XX XXXX XXXX.
Thanks.
hmmm, the time problem sounds weird to me. Did it happen in other ROMs? I use Evo Ultimate Beta, but I didn't notice any time delay issues.
Try enabling the "Automatic change time zone and clock" to let your device synchronize the time by itself.
If it doesn't work try other ROMs, or try a hard-reset. Maybe there's a software conflict somewhere. So a hard-reset will rule out software issues.
If the problem persists even on the stock ROM, then it could be a hardware glitch. So take it to a service center for inspection, or maybe just email the HTC customer support.
For your other questions I have no idea how to change the pictures preview folder because I don't use the stock interface, I'm using SPB Mobile Shell.
And I don't know how to change the number format too.
Sorry I couldn't help you with that.
Oh, okay. Thanks a lot. But where's the option to automatically setting my time at date? : S
It's here (the opposite of my suggestion in my first reply):
Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > "Time Zones" tab.
Check the option "Automatic change time zone and clock".
This way, your device will get the current time zone and clock from the mobile network, which should be always calibrated and accurate.
If it still doesn't work, I think you're left with the hard-reset option, or switching to another ROM.
Best of luck.

Hi, I got some feedback about colours legibility, so I've added a poll about it.
My idea was to colour code data, in order to avoid repeating labels.
Even if you don't want to install it, I would be grateful if browsing the video you could leave a feedback here. Thanks
Hi again,
we are in the process of adding more locations worldwide. We would like to get (if possible) feedback if you are finding your particular location or at least a close one. Next update will geolocate you and find close locations.
Live Tiles
Hi again. I get quite a bit of feedback, both in comments and via email, about the absolute _imperial_ need of a live tile, without which no application should be published !
Just to make things clear: the live tile is coming, but there are a few more important sections and improvements that should be taken care of. Moreover, there is a good reason why it takes a bit to implement and why people are reticent to do so: it just doesn't work reliably yet. It has been clear now for some months, that push notifications in the current form have met the obstacle of carriers network management and while the issue is being worked on and improved, they're still not very reliable. Basically the network operator doesn't want to keep the connection open for push notifications too much and on the other side the ms protocol is failing to 'force' the network to comply.
Some more informations here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx
Again, the live tile is coming, it has been working almost ok for a month on my test unit. But really, while impressive and cool, there are more useful updates to provide first.
Hi, this application is quite complete regarding forecasts. Are you planning to include webcams at some point ?
Yep, webcams are planned for the future updates, not in the upcoming one, though, maybe the one afterwards
The problem in implementing them is that you can't just link random webcams on the web, you have to get a list with permissions given from the owners
Updated today with GPS location, autorefresh, news feeds and some other stuff.
Coming up: webcams
Nice look. Needs °F option, zoom for maps, scalable text. Would consider buying no-ad version.

Thanks a ton. You're right about farenheit degrees, considering I've already implemented english language.
Zoom for maps was implemented at the start, then the fact that it wouldn't work very well with the swipe gesture and the relatively readability of the maps made me remove it. Do you think they need zooming because you can't read them well enough ?
Scalable text in which section ?
No-ad was an idea from the start, however we're considering releasing every future feature (live tile, etc) for free anyway.
Thanks for the feedback
I HTC HD2 (with WM 6.5) and although I have a couple of meteo apps.installed
I would like to try yours, which indeed seems very atractive.
Any chance and, if yes, how to do it ??
I installed it today... very nice graphs! the only thing I still need to do is to see if the forecast is indeed right... if it is, and when the live tile comes on, I may even cancel my daily e-mail forecast from my preferred forecaster

hehe thanks good to know. I'm obviously very unrelated to those that provide the forecast itself, but in the weeks I've tried it, it seems to me it works even better than the other more famous italian provider (more famous for consumer-level, actually this is a lot more business-level).
Try to avoid updating the forecast for 24/48 hours and see if the 'now' detail is correct !

To the best of my knowledge there is no way to use wp7 apps on winmo... you would have to install wp7 !
If you want I could do the German localization for you.
I like your app and it will replace Weather Duck asap when the live tiles are ready ;-)
If you want me to do it just DM me your mail or ping me on Twitter: @cyruss1989

Thanks ! that would be cool and I just might contact you as soon as the next update resource files are done. On the other hand, my girlfriend is german, I hope she won't be jealous hehehe
Seriously though, I'd rather send you the resource files to translate when they are 'complete' so that you don't have to do that twice, even if they would have to be updated now and then.
Again, thanks for the offer

Translations
Ok, looking for translators for french and spanish. I can read both but I'm not sure about syntax in writing.
So if you're interested, drop me a line here, the resources file aren't big at all
Hi again,
I'm striving to pass the next update through certification, however it seems (as reported by some) that certification parameters have become more tight recently and they won't let you pass the small things as before.
This is maybe good, but that also means that it might take a while to 'fix' the application, especially in the most complex parts, i.e. it's not that the updates aren't coming, it's just that it needs some polishing.
As mentioned, next update includes webcams, the one after that 'could' include live-tiles, if there isn't any other important weather data to include in the application.
Victory ! Certification passed in record time this once !
That's weird, it took only one day...
First post updated as soon as I'm home
Really nice app. Are you going to release also a paid version ad free?
