Calender entry's on HOME screen - please help - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
Anyone know if its possible to change the number of calender entry's shown at the home screen. I would like to see something like next 4-5 upcoming appointments instead of just 1 or 2.
Can this be tweaked in registry? or..
Hope someone have a good solution
best regards
Anders Jensen

Hi
Mine displays the whole day worth. Settings are in
Start-->Settings-->Today-->Items-->Calendar-->Options
and select upcoming appointments instead of next. this then shows the Whole day worth of appointments. after the last appointment has passed then tomorrows appt's are shown as well.
Cheers John

Winmo shortcoming. Try TodayAgenda.

SPB Mobile Shell wont show upcoming appointments?

It used to, now it only shows appointments that are today. I have checked all the settings I could and it seems to only want to show the current day.
Any ideas?
I tried uninstalling and removing all registry keys for it, but that was a no go.
Help.
Are you talking about the Now Screen? If so, did you go to Spb Shell settings, click on the Now Screen tab, and then the configure button? You can set how far out one can display appointments.

That only changes how much calendar is shown.. I am trying to get the now screen to show like the next 3 appointments ALWAYS.
Could it be a calendar registry problem? It looks as if my default calendar is the same after some experiments.
Sorry, I'm not aware of a setting like that for Spb Shell. Do you want ONLY three appointments, or AT LEAST 3 appointments always? Would the auto setting do that?
I would like more than just the next one.
Example..
I have 1 thing on there to do today, but 2 tomorrow. SO, it should show those 3 I would think. It seems like it used to.
I have mine set to auto, and it shows the next three events/appointments, or what ever it can fit on the screen I guess.
it won't show all day events though... just to clarify for you.
so if you're appointments are all day I don't think they'll be shown.
hope this sort of helps you.
also - have you changed any of the layouts (using qa_layouts, xml files, etc?) if you've been tinkering with those, you may lose the calendar opperability.

I think so!
I'm an old palm user and especially loved the advance function in datebk6. I could set and advance on an appointment and then it showed that appointment everyday with a little countdown next to it showing how many days to got till the appointment. Is there a similar function on ppc (I have agenda one and spbdiary). Don't get me wrong, I don't want an alarm in advance, I only want the important events to show in advance with a countdown timer.
Thanks for your input
The problem was an upcoming appointment with a "-" or "/" in it. After removal, all works fine. Odd.

Changging the status to busy by default...

Hello..
I have one question that need to be clearify...
It been so long i try to solve this but i didn't find the right way doing it... i read my manual and also try googling around... hope someone can explain how?
1. When i set any appointment in my calander such as Birthday, meeting or memo... its seem to be appear automaticly in my calender ( month view) with the small box indicating there is appointment on that day...
2. When the appointment set automaticly through sync, the birthday of the person in my contac is also updated automaticly in the calender but i seems not appear in the calender( month view).... i found this is because the status of this appointment is set to free.... so its doesnt appear in the calender view(month view)... is there any way to do tweaking or adjusting any registery to make it as default busy for all the appointment?
thank you in advanced...

TouchFLO3D Homescreen customization?

Is it possible to get more than 1 appointment showing on the today screen in touchflo3d? Like when you scroll down and the clock becomes smaller, there's plenty of space there for more appointments. I've tried to found settings for this but haven't find any. Do you need any special application for this or have I just not found the right settings?
Pretty sure it displays multiple appointments for me
The 2 appointments mechanism is pretty weird.
1) It will never display 2 all-day events, and I mean when one takes place today and one tomorrow.
2) One time it displayed tomorrow's event first, and today's event second. Another time it was reversed.
3) One time the tomorrow's appointment was visible from morning, another time it was visible just 24h before happening.
A program/fix to control it would be great.
It really is one of the frustrating limitations of touchflo
It will only show one appointment, and a maximum of two when you flick it upwards
With all the touch flo tweaks out there, wouldnt this be a minor problem to fix?
Another problem is it only can show the tomorrow's meeting. It can't show the days after tomorrow. Can it show the meeting 2 days advance or more.

[REQ DEV] Birthday Notification/reminder

I like to wish my people happy birthday. I have been saving their special day into my phone but want to know if anyone can code a script or tiny program that will bring up a notification reminding me of a friend's bday?
Thanks for looking! Have an awesome day.
You could look into SBSHCalendar. it has the ability to pull you contacts birthday from contact info and put it on your calendar. Hope thiat helped. orry if it didnt
Maybe "Birthdays", a plugin for today screen, here: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/birthdays/
I managed my contacts thru MSoutlook and in every contacts info. there's a field called "Birthday", when you placed the date in that field somehow it makes a reminder in the calendar app.
The downside is that the alarm of the reminders fire's up at midnight, to avoid this you should edit the reminder in MSoutlook in your desktop and change the time is set.
Good luck
thanks guys
I appreciate the input.
I will try that Birthday prog. I don't use standard WM plugin today screen. I'm using wm6.5 titanium but hopefully the main aspect of the prog will work.
I will also try your method Rodrix.
I use TodayAgenda on my today screen which has this functionality - just change the colour scheme to display birthdays and anniversaries in different colours (especially your own anniversary! )

TF3D Home Screen - Upcoming appointments not shown?

Guys,
Just a quick one - I've got an appointment in my calendar for this Friday and it is not showing up as an upcoming appointment on the home screen. Is there a setting I need to enable to make it show upcoming appointments or should TF3D do so by default?
Thanks

What if you add an appointment with the date today or tomorrow, does that one show up?
I think that only entries for today and tomorrow show up by default.
thanks Laban I tried that - the appointment i created for tomorrow showed up but not the one for Thursday, so it looks like only the following day's appointments show up by default.
Does anyone know if this can be changed? I used to find it very useful on my previous WinMo devices being able to see at a glance what I had coming up for the week ahead...
I'd have thought there'd be a registry key to specify the number of days ahead to look. Anyone?
I have this 'problem' too.
Did someone have a solution?
hope there is a registry hack.
would't be really great if this can be changed.

Hi.
Some of my users at the office have had similar problems. In their cases only the "private" appointments appeared on the phone, but not the ones not set as "private". The solution was setting the date to the correct day. This is because the phone syncs all private appointments from the exchange, but only a few days before and after the current date for the rest.
Why the correct private appointments appeared I do not know, but after I set the date to the correct setting everything worked fine.
