Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? I've googled around and searched through xda-developers, and doesn't seem it exists.
(for those not familiar with it) - On Palm OS if there is more than one event in the stack, it pops up a fullscreen list of all outstanding notifications (ie. battery low, new text message, missed call, etc) with checkboxes and a timestamp next to each line, and a "dismiss all" button at the bottom. It makes it really nice for a snapshot view once you've been away from your phone for a while. It's a lot nicer than dismissing each notification, one at a time (particularly when they don't even use the same button to dismiss).

you know when you have reminders, missed calls, voice mail, SMSs, all queued up in one 'Notification' icon in the soft-key bar of the today screen? that's pretty inefficient because it doesn't let you skip the first items of the queue and jump to later items in the queue. for example, if you wanna see a missed call that's behind an SMS you'd have to click 'reply' on that SMS before you can see the missed call.
it also lacks basic features like dismiss all. the default way that WM5 handles this problem is very limited.
so is there any software that can solve this problem?
p.s. i may be suffering more from this problem because i customized the right softkey of today screen.
Doesn't the right soft button contain dismiss all?

yeah, i remember it was there once. but it's gone now that i modified my right soft-key.
Hi,
I've relatively recently got HTC kaiser. lovely phone but one problem. WM6 is awful!
simple actions take way too many clicks to perform.
i'll list some of the annoyances:
- I'd like the dialer to have bigger number buttons.
- i'd like the contact view page to have contact detail and 2-3 BIG buttons - Call, Text, Email.
- I'd like incoming SMS notification (the little pop up with sms text) to have 2 hard buttons - reply and dismiss (instead of current - reply and menu)
- I'd like to have a hard button on call history
these are just of the top of my head, there are few more but cant remember right now.
Is it possible to tweak the system to fix any of the above problems?

For your contacts issue, try PocketCM. For everything else, use the search feature on the top of this page. I cant tell if someone has done some research on it, but there is a big chance that there is some stuff for you to find.
This is probably me just not being used to the PPC version of Windows Mobile (I've been using non-touch screen smartphones too long).
For some reason, my calendar reminders are not showing on the screen. I hear the notification sound, but unless I bring them up manually using the icon bar at the top of the screen I never see the text so I can't dismiss them.
What have I done wrong here?
I have the same problem/frustration. I don't think it is anything you are doing wrong. I think it is (crappy) functionality of the TouchFlo interface. IMHO the TouchFlo interface renders meeting notifications useless. The home page does not show enough information and the issue you described. Interested to hear form others how they deal with it. I turned off meeting notifications because of this. Luckily for me I have a Blackberry sitting right next to it to remind me.
Yeah, same here.
Please check your settings:
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Tab: Notifications.
I would bet that for the Event "Reminders" the option "Display message on screen" is not checked. Right?
HTH
Go to settings, personal , Sounds and Notifications, select the notifications tab, pick Reminders in the event drop down and make sure "Display Message on Screen" is checked.
DeepThought and JoeWilcox nailed it. That was the issue. Very strange to not have that as a default. Thanks guys.
Nope, still no reminders popping up.
I'm not sure if this is a setting or a byproduct of TF3D, but I can't stand the way that alerts work.
If I have a reminder for an upcoming appointment, the notification toast doesn't appear at the bottom like it did with my Mogul and other WM devices. The chime goes off and the alert icon appears on the menu bar, so I hit that, I get the menu bar selection screen and then if I hit the alarm bell, the toast displays at the bottom.
I'm running the default Sprint ROM for now, with some of the basic tweaks. This (and the inability to use a 4-pin headset) are my only real remaining beefs.
Is there a config or tweak I can do, is this just the way it is?

I have a ATT fuze so I dont know how much of difference the set up is...Did you look in system, sounds and notifications then notifications then scroll to reminders and make sure display message on screen is checked...What else have you installed that could be interferring?
Slawcops hint did the trick here.
After upgrading to the newest HTC official (dutch) ROM, TF3D was always in front of such system messages.
By going into the setting menu, sounds and notifications, notifications tab
then selecting "Reminders" (I guess thats what's it called in the english version) in the dropdown box and enabling the "show message in screen" my problem was solved.
Hope this helps!
edit: It would seem this action is needed every time after a soft-reset...if anyone knows where and if this value is stored in the registry, I would really like to know.
When I have the little pink colored circle show up with the quantity of messages inside of it (1) (2) or whatever the number is, when I hit the messaging icon there is a delay and the phone lag's when it organizes the messages or brings the most recent one to the top.
I basically hit the messaging icon and it takes me to my messages but the phone takes a solid second to organize itself. Essentially the screen show's that no messages are new then it updates after a second and pushes the most recent to the top.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It's annoying as hell.
Also when I send a text, the revolving "please wait" circle is terrible. I am generally typing another text right after I send one, as weird as that sounds, and the "please wait" thing takes a solid second before you can start typing again.
Ouch you are serious? That was main reason I replaced my myTouch 4G and went to a stock android phone.
Actually, use another SMS client, i forget the name, Handcent SMS
I works same, and you won't have any of that lagg of "Please wait"
