TodayAgenda does not update inmediately

[manolain]

Hello guys, on my very first post on this forum

I do have a problem with TodayAgena

I have been using it (version 0.9.22) on my old device (WM2003) with no problems

But I just bought a new device, with WMobile6, and now it does not seem to work. I tried with both versions 0.9.22 and 1.0. When I input a new task or appointment, the view in the today screen is not updated at all. I have to go into TodayAgenda settings (change nothing, just accept) and only then, the today screen will be updated.

Do you have any idea on whats going on? Or any alternative?

Thanks!!!

Perhaps not WM6 compatiable? I Googled and found a 1.0 version.

Thanks for the answer

I knew this web. At the end, just before screenshots, you have this:

Compatibility:

• ARM and XScale processor
• PocketPC 2003, PocketPC 2003 SE, Windows Mobile 5.0, Windows Mobile 6.0
• QVGA, VGA, Square
• Potrait and landscape

So this does not sound to be the problem

I am bit desperated, must admit

In your original post you state that you are using v 0.9.22. The reference for support for WM6 is with v 1.0 Maybe .9.22 is compatible and maybe not. Can't hurt to upgrade and see.

I tried with both versions 0.9.22 and 1.0.

I did not expain myself properly (sorry for my poor English):

In my old device I used to work with WM2003 and TodayAgenda version 0.9.22

In the new one, I tried both with 0.9.22 and 1.0, but got same problem...

Thanks for helping!!!

OK, now I see what you are saying. Have you tried disabling TodayAgenda and using the built-in calendar plug-in? I know the built-in is not very useful, but then you could verify that the problem is with TodayAgenda rather than something on the device itself. If the built-in plug-in works, then you may want to send an email to the developer. Maybe he has not tested the software on your device (I see contact info on his/her website).

Do you have any other plug-ins installed? If so, maybe try disabling those to see if there is a conflict.

Another option, although not free, is to try Pocket Breeze. TodayAgenda looks to me to be a freeware version of PB, but I suspect that PB has many more options (which you may or may not need). If you do decided to give PB a try don't be intimidated by all the options. It is very flexible, but that can make it look very complicated.

Thanks very much for your answer schmenge

I tried disabling todayagenda, and just using the built-in ones. As you said, its "functionality" (to say something) is very short, but what was important for me, got inmediately changes inputed on tasks either appointments.


I then tried SPB Diary, which I can see, is very similar to Pocket Breeze (which I will try as well as soon as the trial version is downloaded). SPB Diary is much more powerful, but I dont need so many things. What is a fact, is that it takes changes on calendar and tasks also inmediately, so definately is todayagenda the one having the refresh problem.

However, there are a few things that I can do with TodayAgenda that I am missing in SPB Diary

- Number of tasks pending between parenthesis in tasks heading
- I am losing space (and my screen is limited in that subject, it's an HTC Touch) in the left side because tabs
- Add a prefix like 'All day' in all day appointments

And surely something else I could find in the following days

Do you know if this is possible in Pocket Breeze?

SPB Diary and PB are competitive products. I found PB before I had heard of SPB, and since I have always been happy with SBSH products (I have several) and support, I never looked at other products.

I am not sure if you can do that on the main view on the Today screen (which is not to say that you cannot). If you enable a Tasks tab in PB when you go to that tab you can see all of your tasks and this view shows what you have due in the next 7 days and the next 30 (this is probably configurable, I don't normally use this).

PB can have either vertical or horizontal tabs. I prefer the horizontal as it gives me a bit more width on the screen.

Add a prefix like 'All day' in all day appointments

I do not see an option for this (again, it does not mean it doesn't exist). PB allows you to configure the font by appointment type. In my case I have my All Day events as a smaller font and a slightly different color.

If you come up with other questions let me know and I will do my best. Or try the SBSH forums for PB questions. The forums are pretty active and answers generally come quickly.
