Hey, I have used windows mobile devices for the past few years. One thing that I know for a fact that there is a strong need for, is a way to customize the list of options for reminders and snooze options.
When I was looking at moving to the Android phone, I kinda assumed this functionality would be possible, because I thought it was a common oversight. However, it's not and I was wondering if anyone knows of any solutions to fix this?
Nothing frustrates people more than having a reminder option of 1 day, 1 week, 1 hour, 30 minutes, 5 minutes, and 1 minute. What about giving us the ability to either customize our own list or have a feature where it asks for us to input the reminder/snooze time?
anyone?
anyone have an answer for this?

I use Moxier Mail ($19.99) in the market. It gives me the options of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and so on up to 1 week.
I agree with you. The best solution I have found for adding reminders is to simply use the Google Calendar site on my PC, which offers more options. It automatically syncs with my phone, allowing for many different reminders and even e-mail reminders.

hi
i have searched google prior to posting here and it came up with photo contacts, but thats a lot more than what i need, also when i checked compatibility it said if you have an HTC s620 you need the smartphone edition, but looking at the features the SP edition doesnt seem to detail the scheduled times of silence/profiles like the touch screen version
all i want to have enabled is this:
lets say at 11pm each night, the phone makes itself silent.
then at 8am in the morning it reverts to normal profile again.
on my iphone, i have the kate software which does that for me, but nothing i can see for the excalibur
if anyone knows of anything that would be great
thanks

I haven't tried this, but I believe you could set up an appointment in your calendar from, say, 11pm-8am repeating daily. Windows Mobile can set your profile as silent just like being in a meeting for that time period. It'd be the cheap-and-easy fix.
CT Scheduler, Autoflight, and Switchprofile! are two non-free applications that can do what you want.
DontForget and Snooze are two free ones that might work.
Check clickapps.com, smartphone-freeware.com, and connectivetools.com for them.
Yeah just set an appointment at the time u want it to be silent and set your status to busy I think. Then set your profile to automatic to when even that appointment starts it will automatically be silent
I use Cell Profile Switcher, it switches profiles based on what cell tower i am connected to.

Tough to believe I'm the first to post about this, but I did my share of searching in this Rhodium forum with no luck, so here goes...
I use the Outlook calendar religiously, and have many "all day events" scheduled such as birthdays and anniversaries, etc. My standard reminder for these events takes place 2.5 days in advance, so that Outlook (and my phone) lets me know at noon 3 days prior to the event.
But now, with the Tilt 2 (stock AT&T ROM), not only do I get reminded per the Outlook setting, the phone issues another reminder at the moment the event occurs, meaning my phone lets me know at MIDNIGHT at the start of the day in question. Same happens for normal events too, mind you. For example, I have a meeting at 3pm, 30 minute reminder. The reminder pops up at 2:30pm, and I'll dismiss it, no worries. But at 3pm sharp, the phone lets me know once again that meeting is right now.
So bottom line, is there any way to prevent the secondary "time-of" notifications from being issued? I could use the sleep.

Great question. I have the same problem but no answer for you unfortunately.
I had a probem like that long ago on another WM PDA.
I used a program called PMClean to clean up the notification database.
I do NOT know if that will help and do NOT know if it is even compatable with the newer OSs.

Appreciate the suggestion, but I don't think that'll do it. It's not a case of orphaned reminders in the event db or notification queue, it's by design that the reminders go off at "game time" in addition to their user-defined reminder. Thanks anyway.
Anyone else have an idea? Thanks,

Did you try turning off the reminders sound in Sounds and Notifications?

I don't think the OP wants to turn off ALL reminder notifications. He just wants to silence the midnight reminder for All Day events in Outlook.

This.
The Outlook reminders are behaving normally, displaying at their proscribed lead times for events for which I have defined a reminder. However, and regardless of whether an Outlook reminder is set for an event, the phone reminds you secondarily at the time of said event. It is this second reminder that I wish to eliminate. Unfortunately, the phone's notification management system does not discriminate between the two types. Silencing reminders will silence ALL reminders.
Terrible oversight on the part of the designers.

Thanks, Warlock. They're experiencing the same problem or a variant thereof, the variant being that they were relying on the default reminder lead-time of 18 hours, hence the reminder going off at 6am the morning prior to an all-day event.
The solution proposed in there is very heavy handed, and would require the redefinition of every all-day event in my calendar to an appointment-based event. Not exactly elegent, but I guess some are willing to do this.
Funny, my HTC/Cingular 3125 on WinMo 5 didn't have this problem... but hey, you can't stop progress, right? Even if it's in the wrong direction, evidently.
This is BS.
Could somebody please help me about making a calendar entry? I feel pretty stupid about this whole thing, I can say to Moto 360 "open calendar app but it only seems to open it on my phone". Is it possible to say make an appointment for Wednesday the 25th? Seems like I have no problems with anything else like sending text messages and getting directions but this is driving me crazy. Thanks for any input you can give me.
I haven't been able to figure this out either.

Set reminders
I've been able to set "reminders" that only exist under the Google Now home screen. Try this voice command: "Add reminder. Whatever whatever whatever at 9am tomorrow." I've used the "Add reminder" command quite often and it works very well.

You can just say "remind me to take out the trash tonight".
Unfortunately I need calendar items and it seems, inexplicably, Google Wear doesn't support it.
What about these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodeglam.calendarwear&hl=en
https://ifttt.com/connect/google_calendar/android_wear
no luck.
No Luck this is a bummer. I would like to just add a calendar meeting. Just by saying add calendar event tomorrow 9am meet with John Doe.

This is definitely a bummer like you said, but now I'm just using "add a reminder" hoping that the next version of android Google L will do the job.
Sadly, Android Wear is more of an extension of Google Now, than an extension of the Android phone...
It'll get better, though
I can't even get it to set a reminder. It tries to save and says "Sorry that didn't work. Try again"

Moto 360 degrading over time

After 3 weeks with my Moto 360 I just started having problems of all sorts, including no longer being able to set a reminder. I do everything the same as I've effortlessly done over the last 3 weeks ... "Ok, Google ... Remind me to <blah blah>" and it just shows a Google search of a webpage I can open on my phone. Reminders have worked dozens upon dozens of times over the last 3 weeks, and now not at all.
I've uninstalled Android Wear on my phone, restarted, Reset device on my watch, waited a long time, followed the on-watch prompts to reinstall Android Wear, re-paired Bluetooth, and so on. A few times now. Same thing - super basic smartwatch functionality of my Moto 360 has spontaneously stopped working over the last couple of days.
If I say "Ok, Google ... Remind me." and pause my watch will display a prompt that says "About what?" and if I say something it just says it can't reach Google at the moment. But it can! All my notifications from my phone are still working, and if I ask a random question ("Ok, Google ... who is the Prime Minister of Canada?") it pops up a response just fine. It's just all the really useful and core smartwatch stuff that has been hosed.
It started with the time being incorrect on my watch, whilst it remains totally correct on my phone. I've had to restart my watch multiple times per day to get the time set correctly, I've Reset device several times now, etc.
Overall, my Moto 360 experience is severely degrading over time. :crying:

What kind of phone? Is it at least android 4.3?
used to work fine
Yes, I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. And as mentioned, Android Wear and my Moto 360 have been working great for me for the last few weeks then all of a sudden - wrong time. After a bunch of complete wipes / reinstalls AND calls to Motorola support just to be sure and also to loop them in on problems, my AW experience continues to get worse.
However, it appears I'm not unique in this. I just checked the comments on Google Play for the Android Wear app and it looks like a lot of people are having similar issues with the October 6th update - incorrect time, inability to set reminders anymore, etc. Let's hope Google and/or Motorola read and respond and fix the problems ASAP!

Which versions of AW are you on? I'm still on 1.01.
Any solution for the problem? It's really annoying, someone??

Hiya, it seems the reminder functionality uses Google Now, so if you've disabled Google Now on your phone, it'll tell you that it can't make new appointments every time you try...
You can add reminder to Google Now remind section not on Google Calendar.
If you want add entry in your Google Calendar you can use an App named "Calengoo".
With this app you can add calendar entry and also entry in your Google task.
With this app you can also dismiss or snooze Calendar Event when is send to Wear device.
Hey guys -
I haven't been here in a while - been out of the "dev" game for a bit.
Here's my issue - Every single day, (since the day before election day, Nov. 5th, 2018), I get a notification on my phone (stock, not rooted - it's my daily driver), that tomorrow is election day. It looks like a google calendar notification, but there is nothing set in my calendar about election day. For what it's worth, I don't use the google calendar app (I use Business Calendar 2, paid version), but I do sync my calendar with google. The notification Icon isn't from my business calendar app. If you swipe the notification off of the screen, it's gone until the next day. If you click on the notification, it brings up a web site with a google search on where to vote and the importance of it. Since it's just one notification a day, it's not a huge deal, but since it's been happening for about 2 months now, it's starting to annoy me. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to make it stop. I guess a factory reset might be in order, but the phone is my daily driver that I use for my business, so I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Has anybody here experienced anything like this and got it to stop? Even if it's for a different event, a resolution that you used might be helpful in resolving this one as well. A google search hasn't led me to anything about this other than people having issues with chrome books and a chrome browser extension for the calendar, and having multiple notifications for events that actually were in their calendar. I think those issues are different, mainly because I don't have the event in my calendar to remove or modify (it just doesn't exist at all), and I don't use the google chrome calendar extension and don't own any chrome books.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in Advance!

Anyone else have calendar events not showing up? I have an event scheduled everyday that isnt showing a notification. I’ve looked at the usual stuff, notifications are on for calendar, etc....I have an iPad that’s also connected to the same gooogle calendar and they come through fine on it everyday. Anyone have any insight?
Is there an alert added to the calender entry? Like 10 minutes before?
Thanks for replying. There is an alert set,...it was for 10 minutes before, that didn’t work so I changed it to at the time of event, and that didn’t work. I read somewhere that it was because of the last update, so I uninstalled the update and it worked this morning. I’m going to give it a few more days to see if it still works and if so I know a calendar update came out yesterday so I’ll update to that and hopefully I won’t have to worry about it anymore.

I used to have problems with my calendar not firing alerts or just firing late on previous phones. Then I found an app on GPS called Events Notifier For Calendar (by RYO Software.) There is an XDA thread somewhere about it. I've been using it on my last three phones including this one and I feel it is indispensable! (As for the GPS rating, my guess is user error for most of people's complaints.) But it has never failed me and the developer is extremely helpful. It's probably one of the first 5 apps I now install on every new phone.
