Hi,
Being a recent convert from Windows Mobile, I'm noticing how the alarms and notifications of applications seems separate from each other rather than integrated. Has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? Also, what is the technical difference between an alarm and a notification? Everything seems to be a notification rather than an alarm.
Is there any suggested techniques/configuration to ensure all of my apps use the same notifications/volumes etc without me having to go to every single app and configure it? Also is there a way to configure how the vibration works system-wide? Every single app seems to have their own settings and its a bit of a pain. I also prefer a "longer" vibration in case I miss something (the phone is usually in my pocket).
Also does anybody have recommendations regarding applications which can repeat or remind me for missed events? I want a repeat reminder that I have an appointment coming up, or have missed an SMS or a call (but haven't noticed it) or have received an e-mail? I just want something like to remind me every 5 minutes by playing the sound and/or vibrating, for about an hour - mainly just in case I haven't noticed it - but I don't want it going on forever in case I don't have the phone with me and it annoys others!
Thanks,
Ian
I've just downloaded Missed Reminder which does all that I think. Although it's not for calendar reminders, which is annoying.
Hopefully that will change in the future since I can't find anything else that does the same job for calendar reminders - or Google will sort it out and add repeaters.
Hi all -
I'm hoping this is a simple "duh" fix. I've searched, and can't seem to find anyone else who has this issue... so hopefully it's just a check box somewhere.
I have my calendar set up for pop-up alerts. The problem is that I get two pop-ups. The first pop-up is a stock ICS pop-up that I need to dismiss. Once I dismiss it, I then get a TouchWiz themed pop-up. (I could be mistaken, but it might also happen in the opposite order as well)
I've attached a screen shot of both screens.
I do have Business Calendar installed, but I have its internal notifications turned off. That's the only 3rd party calendar program I have installed.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi,
It's weird that no one still hasn't posted this.
After upgrading to stock 4.04 ROM, it is impossible to dismiss an all-day event from the Lock Screen. Snooze works fine.
You draw the 'Dismiss' button towards the lock ring, you see some animation then, as though the reminder is going to be dismissed, and then you see that the reminder just won't go from the lock screen. It keeps reappearing no matter how many times you "dismiss" it.
So far, I only experienced this with event reminders from People Calendar (birthdays and anniversaries), but I'm pretty sure it can be reproduced on all types of all-day events.
Also, two notable things:
1. After you unlock the display and dismiss the event right from within the calendar app, you see the notification bubble at the bottoms of the screen saying "The event may be deleted". WTH?
2. No matter if reminder settings for People Calendar are set to "none", when you create or even change an existing contact, then the reminder for the corresponding event will be set to "12 hours".
Anyone?
PS: On 4.03 stock ROM, everything was perfect.
PPS: I even factory reset the phone and this didn't help either.
Guys! Shame on you
Even Football confirmed that the issue does exist.
Pity there is no reaction or feedback from the community.

It's a feature, not a fault.
It's always been the case that 'all day' events in the calendar will display on the lock screen 'all' day.
Personally, I find it handy, and make use of the fact it stays there on the lock screen all day.

I'm afraid you are mistaken.
The reminder "pops up" on the lock screen 12 hours before the actual event starts.
Also, it wasn't the case on the 4.0.3. stock. Everything just worked as expected.

Yep, I can confirm that.

Yep, same here, the reminders are always to early for 12 hours and i'm unable to dismiss them.
Same here.
Anyone sent email to HTC?

i have the same problem
OK, this is a bit minor, but it is really bugging me. I use Business Calendar Pro for my calendar. I turn on notification with Business Calendar, and then turn them off in the Android calendar. That way I won't get two notifications. This has worked with the past three HTC phones.
The problem is that no matter what I do, I can't get the built in calendar to stop posting reminders. Every time a reminder goes off, I get two notifications. I've gone into the default calendar app and made sure the notifications are off, but when I get a reminder, it appears that the setting gets turned back on. This is not one of the apps that can be disabled either.
I've also gone in and deselected all calendars from the app, so that it should not in theory contain any appointments anyway.
I'm not rooted, but I'm hoping someone else has had this and found an answer.
Hi
My watch no longer vibrates when I get a notification or message. It's there if I look manually, but I don't get notified by it. It still vibrates when getting a call or a alarm, so the vibrate function is still functional.
Anyone have any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance
Yup, noticed this too after updating to 5.1.1
This is happening to me too. I hope there is a resolution soon. Missed a meeting.
By design, the watch only vibrates on events that your phone would vibrate for. is it possible you hvae a setting on your phone that is set not to vibrate on messages for some reason?
Are these meetings in Google Calendar? For some reason Google turned of notification by default recently in Google Calendar.
- Go to calendar.google.com
- Go to Settings, Calendar tab
- 'Edit notifications' for your calendar name
- Add a Popup notification
Not sure why they turned this off by default. Pissed off many.
