Calendar App & snoozing - Desire General

Is there a calendar app or an add-on that asissts with snoozing. Currently you can only snooze for the pre-set snooze time and not select how long you want the reminder to be snoozed for. No need to comapre Android with winmo but in winmo you could set snooze for 5,10,30mins,1 hour, X minutes before start which was very handy.
Also, in android you can only snooze all and not select which reminder to snooze for a specific time.
thanks

I'd be interested in some solution for this as well.

That explains a lot! Been wondering why this never worked for me ...

Ok I found a good one.
Allows you to snooze an event with a plethora of options (and even the ability to create your own)
Its called Calendar Snooze

How to change calendar notification tone?

Hi, I've got my Galaxy S for 3 days now and can't figure out how to change the notification tone for calendar reminders.
Searching the net and this forum did not bring me really further (there is supposed to be a "more" under settings but it is just not shown for me).
Thank you for your help and sorry if it's a dumb question it is my first Android after years of HTC WM.

1) On SDkard make a new map called; media.
2) Open media and make a new map called; audio.
3) Open audio and make two maps, notifications and ringtones
Inside the map of notifications attach your personal mp3.
Finished
thank you for your instructions. which i followed. but still can't choose a tone from the menu options in the calendar just the overall notification tone.
I have the same problem (I have started another thread for this a few days ago)...

Yeah I was interested in changing some of the default tones as well, such as the battery low tone.
The program Calendar Snooze lets me choose an alternative tone for reminders BUT additionally to the original tone (but still better than nothing).
There is a hint screen in Calendar Snooze saying that one should disable the default alert in the calendar to exclusively use the one chosen by yourself - what of course I can't do.
My friend's HTC Legend shows (within the calendar app) the option to change the reminder tone.
And yes I read something about reaching the "more" option in the calendar by using hw keyboard or trackball both not available for us.
Any further hints on this highly appreciated

[Q] Variable length reminder snooze?

Is there any way to have another screen popup when you hit snooze for a reminder, and ask how long you would like to snooze for? I've really missed this feature since winmo, and recently missed an appointment because of my absent mindedness.
Thanks,
Dave
Yep, one feature of WinMo I liked.
not sure if this will help ya or not, but I use a free app from the market called alarm clock plus. when the snooze pop up "pops up", you can then set how many minutes you want. love it. sorry if this wasn't helpful in any way.

Calendar snooze from market kicks butt, free version works great and has multiple configureable snooze's i actually paid the 5 bucks for the ad free version I liked it so much.

Calendar alarms?

When I set an event in Google Calendar and add an alarm to ring 10 minutes before it starts, my Nokia will ring, but my Desire will keep silent even though the event is synchronized into its calendar.
Is there any way to make Desire ring on alarmed Google Calendar events?

a quick google has come up with someone much cleverer than me who has created an app that looks to be what you are after ....
here is his blog
http://blog.invalidobject.com/android-app-calendar-event-reminder
apparently its available on the market
Do I really have to pay for such basic functionality?

No you don't. It is standard. Just look at the settings in the stock calendar app.
Wau Calendar Event Reminder is great app. Thanks
It's a good app ... but the alarming is built in and should be on by default .... have you played with the settings? I believe you have set up the google account ... do you see the event in your calendar phone (first trouble shooting)?

Calendar Notification settings?

Hey guys I'm on Jellybean and this being my first smartphone, I'm not sure how to go about this. I have seen people with iPhone get notifications (popups) when they have an upcoming event.
Is there a way to do that with the galaxy nexus?
I dont want a changing color LED or a ringtone, just a popup on screen near the time of the event. If not a pop-up, just something at the notification bar. Thanks
When creating / editing event, scroll towards bottom and you have option to set a reminder and timescale for the reminder(s). Can have notifications on phone and/or an email reminder

Notifications/reminders as in "Pick up milk and eggs" or "call xyz at 7pm"? Grab a tasking app like Astrid (it's free from the play store) and it will do exactly that (and much more if you want it to)

You can set reminders in the form of an alarm from Google now.
For example: if you say "remind me to pick up dinner at 5pm" it will set an alarm with the tag "pick up dinner" for 5pm
calendar snooze is an excellent must have addition to the stock calendar. Its excellent.

Looking for calendar widget that alerts on lock screen

Does anyone know of a calendar app/widget that can alert me on the lock screen? The calendar app that came with the stock Samsung S III had a feature like this. When it was time to alert me for an upcoming calendar entry, it would make an alert sound, and a note would show up on the lock screen, with the option to dismiss the reminder or snooze it (pretty much like how the alarm app works).
I have Cyanogenmod, and I use the calendar widget on the lock screen, but I miss the alert part (with snooze/dismiss).
