Email during suspend

My email does not sync (imap, internet email account) when the device suspends (screen goes blank). Is there anyway to set it to do that? I'd like to be able to put it on suspend in order to conserve battery power. I have found the usual programs to auto lock when the screen is dimmed so that I can still get email, but I'd like it to update email during suspend and wake up and alert me if an email is received.

I guess basically what I am looking for is the same functionality as the "wake on receive SMS" option in the advanced options that come with this rom. Otherwise suspending is pointless for me. If the thing is suspended in my pocket and does not alert me when I have a new email, what is the point?
Wish there was a way to turn of the screen without suspending it. That would work too. so far I have not seen that.

huh, maybe this is a problem in Jun 7 Energy Cookie ROM. I switched to June 12 Energy MaxSense UI and it works, most of the time.

Any way to make continous calendar alerts?

On my old palm pre if I did not respond to a calendar alert it would repeat every 5 minutes until I cleared it. On this phone if I'm busy and I forget to check my alert It does not notify me again.

Not sure about the stock calendar app, but I would highly recommend Business Calendar from the Marketplace for a couple bucks. It replaces the native calendar functionality, adds, much more customization, and syncs to google or any other calendar that the stock calendar can sync to.
...And perhaps most importantly, yes, not only do you get recurring alerts for meetings, but you can also configure how many it will send, (up to 50), how much time between each reminder, what sound to use, and even configure a delay between alarms when you 'snooze' that can be e.g., 5 minutes if you hit snooze quickly, or 20 minutes if you long-press snooze.
(See screen shot from one of the config pages below)

I use Calendar Snooze. Not only does it give you repeating alarms based off the stock calendar but as it's name says, it allows you to snooze the appointment for the times you get caught off guard but need a remind again say 5 minutes before the event. Another nice option is it will read out loud your appointment and location.
Very customizable and works seamlessly with the stock calendar.

Turn sync back on???

Somehow I turned off automatic sync for all accounts. Now it says "Sync is off" and for the life of me, I can't find an option to turn it back on. All settings in individual accounts are set to sync but overall setting is off.
Help.. anyone? I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the option.

=/ use the powerwidget in home screen to turn on global sync .. hope i helped.

Yes, thank you!

Dissable voice notifications in Calendar

I don't know how it turned itself on but how the heck do I turn off the voice notifications on my calendar appointments??? I have my appointments set to give me a notification 10 minutes prior to the appointment. The last few notifications have been reading out loud the entire appointment 10 minutes before the appointment.
Help, this is driving me nuts.

Found my problem. I had the Driving Mode turned on. Somehow it was clicked on during install of application and forgot to shut off. There are so many settings on this phone it is amazing.

home screen reminder notifications

Has anyone been able how to figure out how to do this yet?
I can't figure it out for the life of me.
The "Dinner with Layla in 30 mins" home screen notification

Someone posted how and when it appears.
It only appears if you have a calendar event WITH a reminder. It has to be in the Google Calendar app natively, if you have calendars synced to it from other services, those don't work. And the reminder has to have a notification. I think it said if you have a 30 minute reminder it will show up 30 minutes before that, so an hour before the actual appointment.

I just tested this again, small correction to my original post.
It shows up exactly on your appointment reminder.
So appointment at 10am with reminder 30 minutes before, home screen will show it at 9:30am.

This works for me as described, however how to remove it.. I have pressed it and it opens the calendar, where I am given the option to delete it, I need to keep things on the calendar for the IRS but somehow swipe or have a "done" option on my Pixel 2. Searching the internet brought me to this feed, maybe someone knows?
