Calendar tab really slow - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi there,
I've noticed that when I flick to the calendar tab in TouchFlo3D that it will display some items, then there's a delay of sometimes up to 10-15 seconds before it will display the rest of the items for that day (this is looking at Day Mode).
It's not chronological, meaning that it's not giving me the first 2-3 items of the day then searching for the remainder, it appears random.
Anyone else having this?
Cheers,
Pete

i have displayed immediately only the appointments with a time specified.
the all day events come later...
about 2 seconds later...

Mmm, I thought that was the case, but no, for me it's totally random. Timed, untimed, all day, whatever, and the delay is more than 2 seconds, that's for sure

have you messed around with the weather database?

other than delete and add cities (legitimately), no other changes and no tweaking/hacking of any kind.
out of curiosity, why would the weather database have an impact on the calendar?

when you open a day in calendar the weather is displayed in the day view...so if ther's a problem with cities in the database it could be the culprit of the delay.
i messed with the city database with a program, and i had problem in the calendar view and in the clock/alarm view, because the cities database had some trouble...

this happens to me as well, however the delayed items seem to only correlate to appointments/reminders set inside a contact. for example someones birthday defined in the contact has a delay while another persons birthday (same setings) created as a calendar specific event shows up immediately. apparently the fone just needs time to search the contact database for events. and does not need to search the calendar database because ...it's the calendar

Weather missing from Calendar day view

The weather has stopped appearing in the calendar day view and I have no idea why. I can't find any menu options to get it back. Anyone got any ideas?
Displaying of weather depends on configuration of local time in calendar, local time put on city, name of city in panel of weather in setups of local times like

I'd noticed this had happened on my phone as well, I suspect it's related to software I've installed but I've not had the time ( or motivation) to hard reset and start again one app at a time.

I had the same issue. Discovered it is related to the clock setting. If you select GMT time it will no longer display the the weather on the day view of the calendar tab. If you set your time by city it displays the weather (for the following 4 days.).

Midnight Reminders

Tough to believe I'm the first to post about this, but I did my share of searching in this Rhodium forum with no luck, so here goes...
I use the Outlook calendar religiously, and have many "all day events" scheduled such as birthdays and anniversaries, etc. My standard reminder for these events takes place 2.5 days in advance, so that Outlook (and my phone) lets me know at noon 3 days prior to the event.
But now, with the Tilt 2 (stock AT&T ROM), not only do I get reminded per the Outlook setting, the phone issues another reminder at the moment the event occurs, meaning my phone lets me know at MIDNIGHT at the start of the day in question. Same happens for normal events too, mind you. For example, I have a meeting at 3pm, 30 minute reminder. The reminder pops up at 2:30pm, and I'll dismiss it, no worries. But at 3pm sharp, the phone lets me know once again that meeting is right now.
So bottom line, is there any way to prevent the secondary "time-of" notifications from being issued? I could use the sleep.

Great question. I have the same problem but no answer for you unfortunately.
I had a probem like that long ago on another WM PDA.
I used a program called PMClean to clean up the notification database.
I do NOT know if that will help and do NOT know if it is even compatable with the newer OSs.

Appreciate the suggestion, but I don't think that'll do it. It's not a case of orphaned reminders in the event db or notification queue, it's by design that the reminders go off at "game time" in addition to their user-defined reminder. Thanks anyway.
Anyone else have an idea? Thanks,

Did you try turning off the reminders sound in Sounds and Notifications?

I don't think the OP wants to turn off ALL reminder notifications. He just wants to silence the midnight reminder for All Day events in Outlook.

This.
The Outlook reminders are behaving normally, displaying at their proscribed lead times for events for which I have defined a reminder. However, and regardless of whether an Outlook reminder is set for an event, the phone reminds you secondarily at the time of said event. It is this second reminder that I wish to eliminate. Unfortunately, the phone's notification management system does not discriminate between the two types. Silencing reminders will silence ALL reminders.
Terrible oversight on the part of the designers.

Thanks, Warlock. They're experiencing the same problem or a variant thereof, the variant being that they were relying on the default reminder lead-time of 18 hours, hence the reminder going off at 6am the morning prior to an all-day event.
The solution proposed in there is very heavy handed, and would require the redefinition of every all-day event in my calendar to an appointment-based event. Not exactly elegent, but I guess some are willing to do this.
Funny, my HTC/Cingular 3125 on WinMo 5 didn't have this problem... but hey, you can't stop progress, right? Even if it's in the wrong direction, evidently.
This is BS.

Annoying random birthday/anniversary reminders?!

I've been trying to search for this, but can't find a cause/solution
I'm having a BIG problem with this that is seriously starting to irritate me.
Basically, I'm getting random contacts coming up with reminders (at 12 midnight, of course) as:
"Person's Birthday"
"Person's Anniversary"
I do not use HTC Sense or any MS product to track people's bdays or anniversaries. I have never set this. On top of that, the day is always wrong. It's like the phone is just inadvertently setting a date for a person's bday and anniversary for no apparent reason.
Of course, I can't delete this in Outlook or OWA... I have to go into the phone and edit the contact. I've sampled contacts at random and the only correlation is that people it happens to are those on my home domain. However (and I can't remember for sure), I think there may have been one person that the same thing came up on that did not have an email account on my home domain.
Has anyone seen this? Why is it happening? How can I get it to stop? I don't want to go through each and everyone one of my contacts on my phone. That would take hours...
i've noticed once you go into view a contact and scroll down to the birthday section, it automatically fills in the current date...even if the birthdate is prefilled...it can be very annoying indeed...

But these are people who I have not gone into their contacts from the phone on. This is simply after synching with Outlook. I don't see any metadata that sticks around (like with the HTC Favorites and such in the "notes" section in Outlook).
Unless it happened a while back (a year ago, if the reminder popped up today) and it got automatically added to my calendar.
This is a known problem with all-day events. It only happens when you sync with MS Outlook 2007. Syncing with earlier versions is okay (i.e. OL 2000 and OL 2003). MS has stated that they aren't gonna fix it. The same thing usually happens with other built-in all-day events (with the notable exception of bonafied national holidays, which are okay).
Days like Mother's day, Father's day, St. Patrick's day, etcetera are fubar. They usually appear one day in advance of the real thing.
As mentioned, bonafied national holidays are okay (i.e. Christmas, New Years day, Thanksgiving day, etc).
Most people use a workaround by making the recurring event one hour long rather than an "all-day" event.

calendar fix

Hi all,
on rhodium, like on all my latest WM devices, Pocket outlook calendar appointments are automatically shifted whenever I change timezones on the clock
Is there a way to avoid this??

What you're describing sounds like the normal -- correct -- behavior, isn't it? Appointments are set as absolute times.
That is, if you have a meeting scheduled for 10am in New York, then clocks in Chicago show 9am and clocks in Paris show 4pm when that meeting starts. So Calendar is supposed to shift the local clock-time of the appointment if you tell the phone that you're in a different time zone.
So you're saying that you want to disable/defeat this standard feature?
Thks McBrian,
Yes, I want to change the "normal " behaviour, as I am taking the appointmets in local time.
I am a salesman, and so if, say, If am in Italy and I am arranging a meeting in NY at 10 am for tomorrow, when I got off the plane I would like my phone to keep it at 10 am. Make sense? UP to WM5, when you were changing the time of the phone the system was prompting you if you wish to adapt apointment timing to the new timezone.
I have tried to sneak the register looking for a tweak, without success.
now I hope somebody can help...
OK, I get it.
So, basically what you need is for Calendar to see the world as one big time zone, so that all appointments are in local time. Yeah, that does make sense for your application...and I don't have a clue if that's possible.

I tried all I could think of and in the end what I would do was, for example when in London, change my location to New York, selected in the world clock. Then set an appointment in New York time. When you change back to your location being in London the appointment time will change but when you get to New York time it will be correct. Not sure if I changed my location to New York, when I got there, or if I just let my location update itself.
Sounds all wrong but works.
But I never allowed the automatic time changing because that causes too many problems.
The fact is I normally get appointmets on Outlook, which are then synced to the device. What I am doing now is simply to change the time of the clock (and not the timezone) and disable automatic time change and localisation options, but i recognise I am giving up cool functions.
There should be a better way, I am sure...

[Q] time zone mismatch in calendar

so i'm hoping that someone might have an explanation beyond "facebook's app is borked"
I live in EST currently. There are no settings within facebook (that I can see, either in the app or on the site). Within Google Calendar, I have my timezone set for (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time.
The problem arises with the calendar application on Android. My Date/Time settings are set to use Network provided values (and they're accurate).
If I goto an event within the facebook app, a start time will properly show as 16:30, (as reciprocated on the website), however within the calendar application on my phone, it shows the start time incorrectly as 17:30 (1 hour ahead).
I originally thought this was a facebook only problem, until I found out that the facebook app is correct, just the android calendar is incorrect.
Just today, I tried adding an event to my calendar and discovered something else, when adding the event to my calendar, under the "Time Zone" option, it lists "(GMT-4:00) Eastern Time" which seemed odd, since Eastern Time is GMT-5, upon clicking the show all, it shows GMT-5:00 Central Time, GMT-5:00 Mexico City, & GMT-5:00 Bogota, which are also incorrect (and also appear to agree with the android calendar being +hour off.
Does anyone know how to fix it so that events are showing up in the right time? (time zone) ?
wow. it's called daylight savings time. click the button. issue resolved. not a bug.
I stand corrected. lol. It's a bug. hmmmmm, interesting. That means we get an update! yay! they will be required to give us an upgrade soon. EVERYONE START CALLING SPRINT AND HTC! LOL! TIME for them to send an update an unlock our phones at the same time!
Looks like you can fix this issue by manually setting your time and selecting the right timezone.*well, the right -number* The timezone for eastern IS COMPLETELY wrong! hahahhaha. But really. this needs to be sent to HTC and Sprint.
yea, there isn't any option to unset daylight savings time. and if the phone is trying to be smart, since manually setting the time zone EST reads as "GMT-04:00, Eastern Daylight Time", then it's incorrectly not reading the dates from the facebook calendar (synchronized via Accounts) correctly.
So some clarification. I experimented with wife's Nexus S and she didn't have the option of showing the facebook calendar. Apparently the option of showing the facebook calendar within the HTC calendar is done through the "Facebook for HTC", not the facebook app itself.
So given that it's a facebook for sense issue, any hope for a fix?

So does anyone else have an issue with Facebook for HTC sense or is it just me?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's an HTC issue. if we report it enough. they'll fix it.
