Calendar tab really slow

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?

My calendar come sup nearly immediately
BUT my SMS tab is a nightmare to come up... (Same like 5 to 10 seconds...)

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

Time and Location settings making me NUTS!

OK.. Here is my problem.
I set my location in TF3D as Boca Raton, FL (Eastern time zone).
Everything looks great, then I notice my appointments are off by several hours.
I go into the system clock setting and notice it is set to -12 (instead of -5 which Eastern time is).
I change it to -5 and then when I go back to my home screen my clock has chaned to being several hours off.
If I go into World Clock, it shows "LOCAL TIME" correct, but the city I added (Boca Raton) as now being several hours off.
How can I make this bloody phone understand that BOCA RATON is IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE !!!!!

I feel your pain
Anyway, I turned the bloody locations setting off, and manually selected my location.
Under settings, location settings you can turn this off.
Since my location does not work anymore, weather for My location was also not being displayed correctly, so I used below register tweak to remove the "my location" from the weather tab.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0
I still have "my location" under the World Clock, however have my location selected manually. This keeps time correct all the time, and shows correct weather on my animated clock.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

just tell all your appointments that you got stuck in traffic and will be a few hours late...no biggie...

Actually I found the solution on here.
The cities I had been picking were ones I added using the Weather Database Editor.
The weather location database is actually a small SQL database disguised as a manila file and it is used for more than just weather (ie: World Clock). Using the Weather Database Editor to add locations only adds some info into the SQL tables such as city, state, country, and weather code, but nothing for time zone.
Using a tool called SQLLiteAdmin I opened the database (on my PC, not phone) and added in the info for timezone, etc to the cities I had previously added.
Copied manila file back to phone. Rebooted and SHA-BANG!! It was fixed.

Oh if you go to the time & date settings under the actual Settings in WM 6.5, rather than through the Manila home tab interface, you can change the timezone there without a problem and then all of your appointments are correct.
I figured this out before, forgot about it, then figured it out again and it should be locked into memory now.

Weather will not sync properly - any ideas?

had this problem yesterday and it has come back.
Everywhere is either sunny or clear.
Temperature at default location is different than if I set that location as an addition.
It doesn't seem to update - last night it was telling me it was sunny at midnight. Doesn't update even when manually synced.
Have checked all obvious sync issues in menus - and location is set, etc.
Have closed app, have cleared caches
Have factory reset - problem recurs.
Any thoughts? Conflict with another app? I haven't downloaded anything that (explicitly) syncs though, apart from the Maps update.

I've also had problems with Weather syncing. Again, the added locations update fine but for the "where I am" part there is no weather display. This is intermittent but it doesn't seem to be related to the location.
Might it be connection problems? i.e. the Desire can't tell where it is? If it gets two mast lock-ons rather than three, it might compromise location update?

Perhaps, but odd it used to work at home and now doesn't and odd it gives two different reports on the weather at the same place?
I am going to wait and see if it sorts itself, somehow, and then consider a return as it really narks me that it doesn't work.

I am experiencing exactly the same symptoms as described by al89nut.

What apps have you installed Entropy? If a conflict, perhaps we can narrow it by seeing what we have in common?

Can someone whose Desire works try something?
Add where you are to the weather widget (so you are in Southampton, add Southampton) and tell me if it gives exactly the same temperature and the same weather forecast for the future as the homescreen (inc temps)

Well sometimes it does coincide but most of the time it shows either "unavailable" or the sun instead of the moon or weird temperatures.

The only ones we share are Astro, Docs to Go and Goggles, plus possibly currency convertor if XE.
For me this all started when I could only connect as a disk drive and as not charge only, so eventually I went for a factory reset. I am fairly sure it worked 100% before that, but some of the apps were loaded shortly before.
I have just tried removing the widget (HTC clock) from the homescreen and re-installing it on another. And setting the news to sync automatically. Who knows?
EDIT Nope
Current = 57% and clear
Added same location= 52% and partly cloudy.
At least it isn't sunny at night
EDIT 2
manual update and they agree - first time. Maybe sorted by reinstalling widget

Now the effing thing tells me I am currently in a town 10 miles away.
I am getting roundly sick of this buggy piece of **** phone

So it's most certainly not the other apps. I just wonder why not many more people seem to be experiencing this bug.

I have a weird problem with the weather,
I dont auto update the weather but i do it manually when I wake up, i noticed something interesting, not sure wither its real or just my imagination
At morning i sync it (Home WiFi) it shows the Sun, and then i go work and i dont come back till late noon, i get back, take a shower watch some TV and then play with my desire again (by that time it is around 7:00 PM)
when i see it, i see the same temperature (cuz i didnt sync it since morning) but I dont see the Sun, ... i see the moon! and I didnt connect to WiFi except in the morning.
Anyone have this? is it a feature that checks the time of the day and shows Moon or Sun? or is it just the phone syncing offline? lol

The daytime default is to show the full sun, eg if it can't grab data for whatever reason). Guess at night it is the moon. So if mine can't update, it says it is sunny everywhere. But sometimes it is sunny at night.
I now think it is a signal lock issue.

I have the same problem, i travel a lot for my work and when i am in an other area it will show no weather for it and it will not auto update.
I did notice that if you update manually once, the checkbox "update automatically" will be unchecked. So obviously it will not autoupdate.

That doesn't happen for me -you mean the icon on the weather widget, the little circle on the left hand side? If I hit that, update and then check in application, sync is still enabled.

[Q] Weather Widget not keeping 5 day forecast

I have looked all over and others have many issues, but i can't find one that is specific to mine, so here we go:
1: the weather no longer shows up in the calendar and yes, i do have that setting checked
2: the weather widget only keeps the 5 day forecast if i am connected to the internet. once i am not, it loses it and i have no weather info.
here is what i am thinking... i have the settings to update automatically and i have it to update every 3 hours. what i have noticed though is that when i am connected to the internet and i click on the weather widget from the clock to see the 5 day forecast, the weather updates by itself, every time.
so i think my issue is that it keeps trying to update my current location but if no internet, then it shows nothing.
i should also mention, that if i add a location, it keeps the weather info.
no clue what to do. i have removed widget, put back, took off update, made it once a day, put back.. tried everything, so wide open for suggestions. it worked fine for 2 months and now.. problems.

Weather widget doesn't update location

Hi guys.
My HTC One X stopped updating locations in the HTC weather widget even though it is checked in the menu and there is WIFI connection.
Any Ideas guys?

Google location services must also be turned for that.

Nop... That's on as well

Don't worry about it just yet. The HTC locations service misbehaves sometimes. It might come back.
If you wanted to, you could clear the data from the weather and location service apps and reboot and see if it starts working after a while.

Are you having this issue at the time i am writing this?

He wrote it 11 hours ago.

Yeah... i asked this because i was having this issue since yesterday but it seems to be working fine since last 3-4 hours.

Thanks guys,
I'll try it know... It just bothers a bit when it doesn't update...

Hi,
I seem to have the same or a similar problem. If I keep GPS turned off then my location gets reported correctly on the weather widget. However, if I turn on GPS for locations then it gets messed up and changes to "Current location".
The only way to get it to recover is to stop the HTC Locations service and clear its data. Then reboot the phone.
This is a real pain as I use the GPS quite a lot for mapping etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to stop this happening in the first place?
Thanks.
Mark

Chk thi out buddy..mit work for u as well..worked for my HTC OneV..though location sercive still is an issue...
anyways go thru this..
1. I changed the app to home location. And of course it said home location was set until I got to the main screen where it still had an old location where I traveled to a few days earlier.
2. I took out the battery turned power back on. Still same problem.
3. Then I pressed down and held my weather clock widget on my main page and dragged it to the garbage.
4. Went to the main screen, found and empty spot and held down for the widgets to appear.
5. Scrolled to the clock widget, chose the weather clock combo again.
6. Chose my home location.
7. Looked at the main screen and WHOALA! It was working again.
8. Note that in my situation I did not have to uninstall the app.
another alternative...
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Then go to 'All' and scroll down to 'HTC Weather sync provider'.
Select 'Clear Data'.
Then Select 'Force Stop'.
Then go to your home screen and restart the weather app by tapping under the time and then update the weather. The weather should now be available on the homescreen.

Anyone else having problems with the HTC weather not syncing recently?

I've recently had trouble with using Google as the provider for Beautiful Widgets. It's fine since changing to Accuweather!

HTC Locations not working.

I don't suppose this will apply to yours; but I have a rooted sensation, and I decided that the "HTCLocationsWidget3d.apk" was surplus to requirement.
This is needed for the weather; upon reinstalling the file the locations updated correctly.

Hello
I am facing the same problem as ppl described here and all over the android and htc forums. None of this works for me. Or no. It works for couple of hrs, a day maybe and then again goes back to Current Location.
The interesting thing is when the weather stop to update my location, facebook wont find me also. But Sygic works fine, Google maps also. Having this in mind I can say that my GPS works fine. So the problem is in HTC/Google things.
