Long delay to show appointments - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Does anyone else experience a very long delay with the MS Calendar app? When I open it often takes about 30 seconds or more to show appointments. Sure is inconvenient when you want to see if a day is open or taken. Any work arounds or fixes?

Your absolutly right.
The built in Calender is at times very slow.
Im currently testing Pocket Informant which is an overwhelming good program with lots of settings.
It has worked very good so far.

Calendar Meeting Time Changing

I am new to the Smartphone...
I synced my calendar to my S620. Now sometimes randomly I get notices that I have an appointment when in fact I had that appointment yesterday.
It looks like all my meetings are getting moved forward 12 or so hours in my calendar. Then maybe after 5 or 10 minutes the calendar reverts back to the corrrect times.
Has anybody else encountered this issue?
Any solutions?
might have to do with your time settings, check if it's auto on in the time settings as well as the right timezone and it matches your computer
I have experienced a similar issue. Yesterday I noticed one of my appointment times change on 2 separate occasions. The time changed to an hour earlier than my meeting was supposed to be and then changed to an hour after. I set it back both times. Fortunately, I knew what time my meeting was that day.
I've only been using the Dash a couple of days so I don't know if this will be an ongoing issue. I had put the device in my holster without locking it, so I was wondering if that might be the source of the problem. Also, I had some trial 3rd party PIM software installed which I have since uninstalled. I'm a little worried that this would be an issue that would get through testing.
Today I noticed all my meeting times advanced by an hour when my service changed from T-Mobile to Centennial when I was driving. The time on the home screen of my Dash was correct, but all my meeting times changed by an hour. I watched as I changed back from Centennial to T-Mobile, and double checked my meeting times. They all moved back to the correct time. Anybody have any idea what is going on? It doesn't make sense that the time on my home screen was fine, but my appointment times changed on me. Any insight on the matter would be helpful.
In the clock settings uncheck the "auto clock/time zone" setting

Weird!! "Phoenix" Problem

Gad. As an engineer, I am a little reluctant to post this question or observation ... but if trained active astronaughts reported seeing UFOs, then I can report this problem. Here it goes:
My upgrade to 6.1 on my T-Mobile Dash coincided, unfortunately, to the day, with a new job that requires me to commute to Phoenix, AZ each week (as well as other brief US travels).
The evening I installed 6.1 (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080408_WWE)
I was in my home in the Silicon Valley area of CA. No problems.
Then
1. I shuttle off to Phoenix. From the moment I landed - email was just broken all over the place - mainly SMTP - which is well documented on these boards. A replacement Dash, 30 hours of tech support etc .. the problem has seemed to go away - perhaps it was a bizzare temporary incompatability between the 6.1 upgrade and tmobile's proxy servers.
now then ....
2. When I am in CA - my appointment reminders, and the overall behavior of the Dash is OK. I tend to use Tasks, Outlook, and text and pop emails quite often, browser and playing solitaire when i get bored. and lots of bluetooth use. Usually no problems with any of this while in CA.
3. I've traveled recently to Orlando, LA, St. Louis, San Fran, Indiana ... no problems at all - or rather no changes in behavior.
4. The SECOND I land in Phoenix and turn on my phone, the poltergeists start:
a. I turn on the phone - and all the reminders appear (no surprise) - but the "dismiss/menu" options don't appear for maybe 5 mins. I cannot do anything during this time except click on the Celetask button (@)... but this won't allow me to terminate anything. Only the back button and home key work - returning me to the frozen reminders list.
b. After 5 mins of freezing ... I either dismiss the reminder/appointments (or snooze them for 1 hour - ... one hour). Then I try to look at emails etc ... I find the button responses sluggish but working. THEN within about a min - the damn reminders appear again. When I dismiss them all, they reappear in about a min - this time with a duplicate of each active reminder (calender appts) ... yes, 2 of each. This keeps interrupting email reading until I cant stand it.
c. so I take out the battery, wait, and reboot. perhaps after 5 trys of this - the behavior still persists, but stable enough for me to work on the dash (perhaps it is not the reboots - but that the appointment reminder cycle has expired)
d. Even so ... during the next few hours -
i. Major problems talking on the phone. Reminders interrupt; cannot access phone menus (toggle handsfree, or to type touchtone numbers)
ii. When navigating other apps - keyboard does not always respond ... sometimes it appears to stuff in erroneous keystrokes
iii. freezes (unresponsive) for long periods 3-4 mins at a time then all the backlog of keypresses are excuted.
Yes, I have replaced the Dash twice already! That's not the problem
Taking out the battery, or otherwise rebooting actually seems to make the problem worse (the reminders trip over themselves and take forever to clear)
These problems only seem to occur when I stay in Phoenix (I know, a UFO sighting in more pausable).
The problems seem to subside within a day or two but I am not certain.
These problems don't seem to happen in any other city ! Took 4-5 months of traveling to realize this!
gulp ...
Has anyone else experienced anything close to this?
Try a new SIM card, especially if it is older. Sounds funny, but there's a lot of datafill in the HLR/MSC that are tied to specific SIM card ranges. I've seen switching SIMs fix all kinds of issues. Give it a shot... worth a try
It may be tied to the stupid t-mobile Arizona time zone problem. If the phone is set to sync with the time servers to keep accurate, then it will mess with everything else that relies on time. I have to keep mine unchecked for time synchro because otherwise it is an hour off and that changes everything in the calendar.
Next time you head towards Phoenix, try unchecking the automatic time/time zone option in your clock. You may need to reset the clock, but hopefully, it won't screw everything else up.
im in phoenix and nothing like this has happened to me lol. as stated above could very well be because of the timezone issues.

[ISSUE] Message application automatically opens during overnight charge

I sue my Tilt2 as my alarm clock, just as my previous device. I always pluged it in overnight and leave it on the Main TF3D screen so I can see the clock during the night.
This worked great with my original Tilt with TF2D.
However, with the new Tilt2, I will wake up during the night and notice that the message application is open.
Anyone have any idea on the cause and the prevention?
(It just occurred to me - is this a result of the OFF-PEAK sync? If so, I would like to keep the OFF-PEAK settings - just not have it open the Message application.)
Bumping - still looking for help with this issue.
Actually I notice that this issue already exist since the earlier beta version of WM6.5 but just amazed that this bug still exist in the official OS for my HTC Touch Pro 2.
Nobody ever encounter this issue?
I only have this issue when I use my Gmail thru IMAP. when I have Gmail Sync configured with ActiveSync this does nto happen.
It is probably your significant other looking through your phone while you are asleep... I had the same problem a couple of years ago, and when I broke up with my ex, it mysterious went away.
Or it could be the 6.5 bug that should have been solved months ago.
I actually caught the phone doing it twice in 5 minutes yesterday during a meeting.
I had just set the phone done on the TF3D home screen and in two mins, it switched to messaging, and I did not recieve any new emails.
Closed messaging, returned to TF3D home and it did it again. But then I watched it for the next 30 mins (it was keeping me up during the meeting) with the only interaction being a screen touch to keep it from timing out.
It never did it again.
I did change the setting on the Today screen, to return to the Today screen from 4 hours to one hour. At least when I woke up a couple of times last night - it was on the TF3D home.
My wife was sneaking my phone from me a few months ago - but that was to get all my contacts for the surprise birthday party she had for me!
Thanks for letting me know I am not the only one with this issue/feature...
tf3d tab openings
Yeah, my tilt 2 will open inbox view on it's own several times a day. Noticed it while it was cradled, and in sleep mode, woke up on the inbox view. It will also open from time to time, the last tab I used on TF3D. That combined with the magnet on my case causing it to awaken and / or unlock, got some pretty weird stuff eminating from the holstered phone.
Fixed the slide to unlock thing and the lock from default to classic, but this continuing annoyance of the mail opening on its own is making me consider to turn off TF3D, and that is the main reason I use this particular device.
I hope someone can find a fix for this soon.
Thanks,
Fix, maybe
I have been having the same problem with my ATT Tilt2.
Yesterday I added messaging to the exclusive programs list in the task manager. I think since I selected "enable the x button to end the running programs" when I closed messaging it shut the program down and then when messaging tried to check for emails (i have mine set for every 5 min) it popped the program up.
So far messaging has not popped open.

mssage applicagtions automatically opens
I just set mine up the same way, will test over the weekend and see if that does it. My Fuze and Tilt to not exhibit this annoyance, even though messaging is not in the exclusive list. This may be a wm 6.5 glitch that we did not see in 6.1 and earlier.
I will repost after testing this for a few days to see how this all works.
Fix Seems to Work
I set my Tilt 2 to exclusive and it seems to have worked to solve this problem.
Fix procedure:
Open your email program and without closing it, open settings/task manager, then highlight the mail program, press and hold, and a window will pop up and option to set as exclusive. This will keep the program from closing when you press the X and therefore keep the program from popping up when pollling your email server.
Good work, and it seems to work after several hours of testing.

I added messaging to the exculsive list and change the Today timeout back to 4 hours. Will let you know tomorrow if it works!

I followed your instruction by putting email in the exlusive and still stick with 1 hour, no more messaging application running in the background, thanks for your tip.
RESOLVED
It worked! The message application was not open when I woke up this morning.
Thanks!
Thanks to [email protected], all I did was validate his idea and write down the procedure. This is a good example of cooperation to solve in a unique way a quite vexing problem.
Anyone notice when you boot up your phone, you will still see the messaging running in the background until you close it then it will return to the Touch Flo page?

Delay in opening applications (agenda, contact)

Anyone has this? Desire is mostly blizzfast, but sometimes when I open a contact widget it takes 4-5 secs to open up, same goes with the agenda. Not the end of the world but frustrating sometimes.
Happens to me too. Contact opening is especially slow.
I'm hoping that when we get Froyo, the JIT will make the delay go away. Until then, I think we're just going to have to be patient.
Bit irritating really, but all in all Desire is fast. Had another play with Iphone 4 where opening all apps or returning back to home screen had annoying delay. A second or so aybe but in the long run irritates. Maybe was something with that particular handset.
Just wonder where that delay on Desire comes from, i dont have masive amount of contacts or agenda entries...!

Why am I getting lags on notifications?

Hi,
Basically it started happening before this release anyway but for example messages other than sms come late, like from whatsapp or tinder, wechat, etc. Mail application never notifies me of any email unless I bring it to the front and it checks that time. I set the checking time to every 15 mins so it's not me.
It's really annoying because it's not speed lag but notification lag and I am not running anything extra that I know of.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.
