[Q] Slow/laggy calendar/agenda - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It often take around 30 seconds to populate the items in the calendar/agenda view.
Anyone?
Desire Z. Stock 2.2.1. No, I don't want to root!

I get the same on my Desire HD. There are some alternative calendar apps in the market but I've not found one I would recommend yet.

Non Sense 2.2 need Bookmark Widget

Basically I'm looking for a bookmark widget for my Desire, I would use the HTC one but I'm running a base version of Froyo not one with Sense.
I thought I had found one but I've reset my phone and now I can't find it, any suggestions?
I was trying to find one too, but then I discovered "Launcer Pro Plus" for 3 usd or what ever it cost, and it was well worth it. Look it up, it's widgets is much better than HTC-Sence :-D
Perfect mate, thank-you!

No, not without installing HTC Sense first. You're probably better off with a Sense ROM like LeeDroids.
Try LauncherPro - If you like it, unlock the Plus features ($2.99)
The plus features have widgets that look and act like the Sense widgets, including:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Friends (Like FriendStream)
- Messaging
- People
- Bookmarks
It's great. And there are mods, so if you want to there's the possibility of making the widgets transparent, blue and so on.
I am not interested in all HTC Widgets. After reading different reviews I came to know that it eats battery and memory. However, I really liked the way HTC manages the Contacts. Mulitple social accounts linked at one place. I tried to find some decent app for that but didn't like any.

[Q] New HTC DHD related Questions.

Hi Folks,
I bought my First Android Phone DHD just few days back. I was looking for some stuffs like Themes(Scene and Skin) and Apps kinda stuff for my DHD(HTC desire HD) and was a bit confused.
1) where can i find HTC Skin and Scene. I have Froyo installed in it.
2) My Battery gets drained very fast. How to optimize it and make the best use out of it? Any Apps recommended or any other tweak ?
3) What are the Best Apps that one can have in DHD. Anyone that one feels is best.
4) Is anti-virus needed for a Droid DHD? if so which one would you recommended?
5) I heard a news that Gingerbread 2.3 update is going to roll out somewhere within 2nd Q of 2011. Is this news official or just some rumors?
6) In my Gtalk i cant switch between my account as i can do in my Gmail Account. How do i do so in my GTalk?
and the last one.
7) I want to install Android (and if possible latest version) on my OLD HTC P3450 Touch handset. Where can i find the best guide to do so (Step by step installation guide) and the installable files of android OS too.
I know its a lots of question. But had this from a long time. had to ask.
Hope to get replies to the earliest.
Cheers

1) where can i find HTC Skin and Scene. I have Froyo installed in it.
Press in your home screen on the colour pallet icon in the right down corner
2) My Battery gets drained very fast. How to optimize it and make the best use out of it? Any Apps recommended or any other tweak ?
The first days of your your DHD will be shorter than normal. it will not be longer than 24 hours by (for me) normal usage.
3) What are the Best Apps that one can have in DHD. Anyone that one feels is best.
For me: Whatsapp, Twitter and Angry Birds
4) Is anti-virus needed for a Droid DHD? if so which one would you recommended?
No google will protect you when you only use the android market to install apps
5) I heard a news that Gingerbread 2.3 update is going to roll out somewhere within 2nd Q of 2011. Is this news official or just some rumors?
The offical rom (beta) leaked today, so i think yes
6) In my Gtalk i cant switch between my account as i can do in my Gmail Account. How do i do so in my GTalk?
Sorry don't understand what you mean...
and the last one.
7) I want to install Android (and if possible latest version) on my OLD HTC P3450 Touch handset. Where can i find the best guide to do so (Step by step installation guide) and the installable files of android OS too.
I don't think this is the correct forum for that...

Look in HTC Hub

There is little you can do. It's alluminum body, so you can't install a bigger battery, and the ones that claim to be the same size and greater capacity are fake.
5) official Rom? Sorry I didn't get that one. Can you please share the link that can help on it.
Look in the developement section. There are ROMs based on the leaked official 2.3 ROM. Please note that "official" means "by HTC", not "released". The leaked ROM is not ready to be released to market.
6) about gtalk. I hv two Google account. In gmail app I can switch from one account to another very easly. How do I do that same in gtalk app for android?
Can't help you with that. I don't use gtalk.
7) I know its not the right place but if u can help me with the link from where to get it, that would b helpful.
Look in the XDA forum for your phone. If there is a section called "Android Developement", you can find the ROMs there.
Regarding battery life it does get better after a few full charge/discharge cycles. A custom rom and kernel and learning to manage the battery will also help.

But still charging every night is needed unless you use your phone very rarely. Conditioning the battery and custom kernel with UV helps for the phone lasting through a heavy usage day, but unfortunately is not enough to ensure two days usage.

[Q] HTC Dialler

I was wondering if the HTC dialler has been pulled out from a Sense ROM, and whether it would work with CM7 ? Or would it get b0rked because of the lack of Sense, friendstream stuff, and having no 'Sense contacts' etc ?
I ask as i'm running CM7, but don't really like the stock dialler (no T9 search through contacts), or Dialler One as i'm using now. Although Dialler One seems to be the best alternative i have found so far. So if anyone has any other 3rd party developed options i'm open to suggestions.
The HTC-Dialler won't work, because it needs the sense-libraries.
but you can find many alternatives, such as Dialer2 (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.dnaq.dialer2&feature=search_result).
or just take a short look here
Bah, thought that would be the case, but would ask just in case. Oh well i'll have to keep trying alternatives then.
T9 dialer being only one feature of all built in awesomeness which Sense holds under the 'hood'. Although I do not use HTC widgets, those little things are the reason I rarely manage to stick with aosp for long.

[Q] Note widget like Sense?

I really enjoyed the note widget that came with Sense, but now I'm on the Kingdom Rom which didn't come with it. I searched around the market and the closest one I could find was Whiteboard, but it doesn't let me draw directly on the home screen. Any ideas?
Add Widget>Get More HTC Widgets>Notes.
Edit: Didnt See That You Tried It Already.
Is it possible that we can install the apk from a stock sense rom?
I used the task widget one and now I am forgetting stuff. lol. My phone runs my life.
Yeah I went through the HTC Hub and I only found the Word of the Day, Daily Challenge, and Fortune Cookie. I do enjoy the Daily Challenge, but I still miss my HTC Notes
I was wondering that as well. Unfortunately, I don't have the skillset to try to extract the widget from an earlier version of Sense.
