Traveler calendar widget freezes HTC Sense ?

Today I’m having some problems with my HTC Desire ( Android 2.3 ). From time to time, the Home Screen becomes completely black and after a few minutes a message appears saying “HTC Sense no longer responding … “. When I OK the message, the Home Screen is rebuild and the phone works for a couple of minutes.

I googled and found  a forum entry that described the situation. The article recommended to remove widgets and applications from the Home Screen. After doing so, the issue did no longer occur. I added one application after the other to figure out which one could be the problematic one.

After installing the Traveler calendar widget, the problem re-appears. I then looked into my calendar for further investigation. I found, that I have 5 ToDos for today.

These documents are not displayed in the widget. And, the problem first appeared today. So there must be a coherency.

I moved the docs to another date; this also solved the issue. Anyone else has seen this? Perhaps an already known issue.


Where is my Sametime??

I have a small issue with the embedded Sametime Client in Notes 8.5.3. I use a laptop in the office that has a 2nd monotor attached to work in Designer. On the latop screen, I open my mailfile and Sametime.

As soon as I click into the Designer on the second screen, my Sametime client goes away from the laptop display. When I click into my inbox for example, the client re-appears

Is this a common problem with multiple monitors or do I miss some secret setting?


Extension Library 8.5.3 – undocumented @functions

Just a quick post before I leave the office for the 46. DanNotes conference.

Looked into source code of the OpenNTF Extension Library and found 2 undocumented functions in the Javascript Extension. (@NormalizeSubject and @ViewIconUrl).

@NormalizeSubject trims a subject to the specified maxlength if it exceeds it and adds 3 dots at the end of the normalized string. So an @NormalizeSubject(‘Hello World’, 9) becomes Hello Wor… .

@ViewIconUrl returns the full path to an icon ressource. For example @ViewIconUrl(81) returns /.ibmxspres/domino/icons/vwicn081.gif

You can find more functions @IsAbsoluteUrl, @InfoMessage, @WarningMessage in the NotesFunctionsEx.java file
