Huh? I powered the phone down the powered it back up and saw that fixed it. Today, again, it said it was Christmas Day yet it's the 26th. I powered down and back up again which again corrected this issue.Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix? Is it just a setting I need to change?Thanks in advance.Hope everyone had a good holiday.Fred

FWIW, I had the exact same problem (and fix) on my SPV e100.

OS issue?

Nobody else has had this problem? I am still getting it sometimes.

It is happening again today and yesterday. Yesterday it said it was New Years Eve. Today it says it is New Years Day. This is getting me upset. As soon as I power the phone down and bring it back up, it works fine and shows the correct info.

Can someone please tell me I am not going nuts?

It must be happening to others that sync with Outlook for holidays.

Also, I can't seem to get the phone to show more than one event for the day. Does anyone know if that can be changed? From what I can tell, the most recently edited event is the one that shows up on the home screen.

Thanks,

Fred

Found this in google newsgroups. Helps answer that there is in fact some type of bug regarding this issue. Glad to know I am not crazy. :)

Yep, sometimes those all-day appointments don't disappear from the Home
Screen upon the day changing. I haven't figured out a pattern so far,
though.

It seems that the AllDayEvent plugin does not get a separate
shonplugindatachange message but instead relies on the calendar.

This menas that if you have apointments it get refreshed and if you don't it
doesn't.

MS need to add a datachange notification for all day events as well as teh
calendar :o)

When I was playing around with which layout to use, seems to me there was one that would show multiple appointments, but I can't find it now.

I think the LCD plugin scrolls thru a days appointments but I've never used it. Search "LCD Plugin" on Modaco.com for more. (I'm not pluggin the site here...it's just where the info can be found).
