[Q] Default calendar view - Droid X Themes and Apps

Is there any way I can change my default calendar view to "Month" as opposed to "Day". The "Day" view as default is pretty useless...

No? Okay. Maybe later...

I would like to know the answer myself. The calendar on this phone works great but it's an eye sore...

Here is what I ended up doing to "solve" this, whenever I reset/flash to a new ROM, the calendar always opens to the month view
I opened the calendar
Selected the view I wanted (I use agenda)
Then hit the home button
Now when I open calendar, it now goes straight to agenda view
Then reset to "save" this
After a reset, the back button now backs out to the home screen
Before the first reset, you cannot hit the back button in the calendar, it will go back to your first view (month in my case) then back out to the home screen.
When this happens, I have to do the steps above again.
Now, this works for me and I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe it saves the last state it is in and when you reboot in the last state, it becomes the default state.

Contact List problem with Touch Cruise

Anyone experience the following problem ?
I tap onto the "Contact" button at the main screen and instead of showing me all my contact numbers, it was all blank. I fired up the HTC Cube and surprisingly, all my phone numbers that are stored under the "Favorite Contact" were all missing! There were no numbers/pictures. I had to do a soft reset and then all my contacts are back again. But I had to manually add all my favourte contacts back in to the Touch Cube again. This happened twice to me.
Another issue is that when i press the "Contact" button at the main screen, usually my contact list will appear and then on the right side it shows the alphabetical order right ? Just like the following :
#
A
B
C
D
E
.
.
.
.
Z
Today, it somehow disappeared. Did i disable it or anything ? Is it possible to disable ?
I noticed that my contacts disappeared whenever I disconnected from the Internet. This was because Windows Live Synch Options were configured to "As Items Arrive" and I also synchronized my contacts directly from Hotmail. After I changed the Sync frequency to "Every 15 minutes" my TC was much faster and contacts stayed in the contact list everytime I was offline. Don't know if this is the problem in your case but hope it helps.
Hmn.. I don't think thats my problem because I don't synchronize my contacts directly from hotmail.
Anyway, thanks for responding still!
Under contacts, go to
Menu > options
The first option is "Show alphabetical index".
Make sure it's UNCHECKED. This should bring the HTC random access back (the grey alphabetical strip).
If it's already unchecked, check it, go back to contacts and then repeat the process, unchecking it this time.
Good luck.
Ok.. that works... but how come it happened it the first place ? I didn't check it. It just disappear.

Genius, fixed it for me, thanks
i have the same problem with the alphabet scroll bar. sometimes when i open contacts from the contacts soft key it appears as a nomal scroll bar i do a soft reset and its back to normal. not sure why it disappears though.
Yeah I've seen the alphabet scroll bar disappear before, haven't noticed a pattern yet. I didn't need to soft reset to get it back though, not 100% sure so don't quote me.
Polaris - Touch Cruse not keeping certain settings.
I have the same issue and the fix work for me also. I lose the A – Z list on the right side when I shut the phone down. I also lose the selected keypad and TomTom from the today screen even though it is selected to be there and the same kind of fix works. I don’t even have to uncheck it and recheck it. I can just go to Start, settings, Today and then Items and see the list but just hit OK and then it’s back. For the keypad I have to select the one I want again. This seems to happen every time I have to power it all the way down.
I had the same issue; now it's fixed... THX!!
Touch Cruise - Contacts - Missing alphabetical list
I had same problem, checking and unchecking ths Show alphabetical index helped, weird...

Contacts not closing with back button

Hi All!
I had to do a factory reset of my phone tonight (Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize, Froyo). After the reset, I downloaded a few of my apps (K9, Launcher Pro, Barcode Reader, Facebook). Everything seems to be working, except that when I launch my contacts app, and click the back button to exit, it takes me to a search screen for my contacts, and the only way to close them is to hit the home key.
A few things I've tried already:
1) Rebooting the phone.
2) Removing the shortcut and replacing it.
3) Replacing the shortcut with a shortcut to another app, then switching it back.
What else can I do to fix this?
I have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I am in the process of looking for a better contact app.

Home key results in nothing

Last night, my AT&T HOX discharged completely. I'm thinking it might have reset and went into a constant bootloop, but I'm only guessing. So I plugged up to the charger and let it get charged about 10% before really messing with it. So rebooting the phone led me to a "frozen" screen. At first I thought it was the Picture Password Lockscreen app so I uninstalled it. No change.
I then realized it wasn't a frozen screen (although the slow start up continue after each reboot, but the home key would not function. Menu button will function, so would the back button. Only problem was that despite having the haptic response from the keys, I couldn't get to the home screen. It was just a white screen at and the notification bar at the top. The only way I was able to get a launcher to open was due to the Play Store notification that allowed me to open my ADW launcher from the app list. I installed a home switcher, but still, could not get the home button to work. The hepatic response was back, but it would not yield going directly to ADW as my default launcher, nor select one once I cleared defaults. So I dirty flashed my ROM (Venom XL 3.2.6) and again got the slow start and the inability fort he home key to bring me to the homescreen (or the option to select). I then thought the perhaps it was an issue with the kernel, but still the same thing occurs after flashing the stock kernel. I get the haptic response and the screen does a quick flash. Nothing else.
Has anyone encountered this before or have any idea what controls this function and how to fix it?
From launcher, check your hone button settings, preferences-gesture settings. Check Home key - it should say that it is set to Show home screen. If that doesnt work check to see if in pocket detection is enabled. If it is, try disabling.

Thanks for the tip, but I couldn't get it to work. Had to end up wiping data. Thanks anyway.

Home screen shortcuts

I upgraded to the ver5.0.2 build 7sqr-uer0 and after the phone rebooted itself all of my home screen web page shortcuts were deleted. I created the web page shortcut using chromes add to home screen menu located on chromes browser over flow menu. Second part. When I now use add to home screen to save a web page the screen goes dark for ±10 seconds and recovers to my homee screen no short cut created. I have done a hard reboot and uninstalled all browser updates . At first I wanted to uninstall chrome the system said no. I do not want to do a reset. Suggestions to this noob is appreciated.

What specific Note do you have and what carrier. Also did you set your phone up from scratch or copy data from another phone, if you copied data from another phone a FDR should fix the issue. Have you tried a reboot, that fixed a lot of these type of problems. I just long press on the home screen, select widgets, select the one I want and drag it to the home screen.

I live in Greece so... Note 20 Ultra with Exynos, set up from scratch with COSMOTE carrier. Resetted One UI 2.5, rebooted many times. I used the same procedure to add widgets but it doesn't work now. Can't place so far weather, calendar, Blue Mail, optimization and more that I will find on the way. No problem with KWGT widgets though...

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure "Turn "Off" the option "Lock Home screen layout", I know you said it was off but that's just about the only thing I can think of. You can also boot to recovery and clear the "cache partition", not a FDR just clear the cache.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release both keys.
An 'Installing system update' message may show briefly before the Android Recovery menu options appear.
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight Wipe cache partition.
Press Bixby / Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight Yes, then press the Bixby / Power key to select.
When the process is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
Press the Bixby / Power key to restart the device.
