Calendar Reminders

The HTC calendar has added reminders for all my calender events, but I don't want them. I've removed all reminders from my google calendar and synced but they are still there, and in the calender settings on the desire the default reminder time cannot be set to "none".
The only way I can see to remove all reminders is one by one editing each event. Is there a quicker way to do this?

You could try in calendar, clicking menu, then more, then calendars, and selecting which calendars you want displayed. But I dont know if it only works with the htc calendar.

[Q] All notifications sound the same?

Looking in settings I can't seem to set a different sound for different notifications. IE email sounds different than SMS.
Really? Clearly Android is in need of some 'Mobile Phone' settings.

This was one of my 1st gripes and the way round for me is to use 3rd part apps
1. Disable notifications in Settings
2. Install Handscent SMS and set it to play what ever sound when you get a SMS
3. Install Gmail Popup and set this to play a different sound for Emails received
Works for me and makes my Desire more desirable

Try looking in the apps themself rather than in settings!
i.e. change Gmail notifications in GMail, SMS notifications in your messaging app etc et.

Yikes... Every mobile phone since like 1982 has been able to change this in one place. I knew I was going to have a few problems with android but wow.
Is there an official place to submit enhancement (20 years ago) requests to the android development team?

You rather miss the point. Since Android allows all sorts of new applications, with all sorts of potentially new notifications, there is no way you can have a "one stop shop" for notifications.
I have 4 email accounts setup in Gmail, and each of them has a different notification sound. It would be very hard to achieve this if notification sounds were handled centrally.

And if you don't change the sound in an app it uses the default one as set in the 'Sound' settings in the menu, under 'Notification sound'

Quest for the ultimate PIM...

There are a lot of Personal Information Managers available, and i have looked at many, but none of them fill my needs completely. Currently, I'm using many different apps to maintain my appointments, contacts and email, and still this is not perfect.
Currently, i'm using :
Improved Email (http://www.mwebster.us/) for my email needs (great subfolder support, handy overview of different exchange accounts, but no google account support);
The built In Gmail app (obvious only Gmail support)
Calendar Pad (the only calendar app which has the one-and-only useable week view (this one. All other month- and week views are totally unuseable in my opinion)
Android Agenda Widget (great customizing options, integrated view of appointments in all calendars with colour coding)
The built in appointments app when it comes to editing appointments
The built in contacts app
And still, this doesn't do it all:
- can't change exchange contacts details with the stock contacts app (only name)
- can't edit a lot of exchange appointments because they show up as meetings instead of appointments
- bugs in the built in Agenda app when opening all day & recurring events from an exchange account (events skipping a day forward, events becoming stretched over days).
My needs are:
- supporting two (or more) Exchange accounts
- support Google Calendar(s)
- widget showing apointments from all calendars in one view, showing the calendar colours
- email support for subfolders also
- contacts from Exchange and Google linked to the phones telephonebook
- full editing support of exchange items
- a week view of appointments like Calendar Pad
Touchdown brings back (bug free) editing of exchange contacts and appointments, but lacks a useable week view, and more important, only supports multiple exchange accounts by switching profiles (so agenda widgets like Pure Calendar only show appointments from one profile at a time and contacts in the phones telephonebook can only be edited if the appropiate profile is selected first in Touchdown. 2 dealbrakers IMHO). Also, searching the GAL (global adress list) on the exchange server doesn't always work.
Roadsync does support multiple exchange accounts, but only by editing the server credentials (which isn't real support imho).
So, Android is still lacking in business PIM support for me. Who knows of a PIM, which does it all?

[Q] Default calendar for new events

Hey all,
Is there a way to set the default calendar for new events you create on your phone using the default HTC calendar app?
Back on the ICS when I created a new event I selected the right calendar while creating the event (on the top-left) and after creating one event it would remember which calendar I used and use that as the default one for new events.
Now on JB that doesn't seem to work anymore, so now I keep having to select the right calendar, which I often forget.
Also is there a way to change the color of a calendar? Now it just randomly assigns a color to all the events from a single calendar, but I would like to set it myself.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there.
I'm experiencing the same issue as I'm using the google calendar, but new events get created in the pcsync-calendar every time.
Did you find a solution yet?
[@ colors: If you're using google calendar, you can set the colors over the web at https://www.google.com/calendar ]
Greetings!

The same issue. With every new entry in calendar I always have to change the calendar from default PCSync calendar to gmail.com calendar (PCSync does not sync to google account) even if the PCSync calendar is not selected in visible calendars.
I did not find any solution yet.

The default Google Calendar app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar) remembers last calendar used.
But it's not a solution if you want to use stock HTC calendar.

Separate Calendars

Has anyone found a good way to separate different calendars between different apps/widgets? My goal is to have my work (exchange) calendar shown in one agenda-like widget, but I don't want all those events cluttering up my regular personal (google) calendar. No matter what I try, all my calendars seem to enable themselves across any apps I use. For example, I have Jorte, and I would uncheck my work calendar so that it wouldn't show up. Then in a second app (tried the stock calendar, Agenda Widget, Business Calendar, Cal), I would make this calendar visible. But when I go back to Jorte, the work calendar is still unchecked but is showing up in the calendar and in widgets. Is there any app I'm missing that has this functionality, or is this just some kind of bug in experiencing?
