Hi all,
Sorry if this is a double post, but I tried deleting my question from the general forum but it didn't work.
But anyway, the question is as follows.
On my old Windows Mobile I got a notification if a calendar event had occured if I had my phone turned off during that time.
But this doesn't seem to be possible with the Note II.
Does anyone know if there is any solution to this so that one could be alerted when one turns the phone back on at a later time if an event has occured?
Many thanks.

It does happen.
I dont know why you aren't getting a notification. Check on the Calendar settings. Probably there is some setting for that.

Yes, its strange since I have set the notification on and if the phone is on, I am getting it.
I tried just for fun scheduling an event the same day and turned the phone back on about two hours later, but no sound or warning.
I use the s-planner since thats the only option I find.
No other tip?
Many thanks!

I seem to be having a problem with my Alarm Clock for some reason and can't figure out what is happening.
Last week I had to get up @ 7:25AM so I tapped the clock on the home screen, set one alarm to 7:25 and one to 7:30 so I would not oversleep. Worked flawlessly all week so no worries there. This week, I don't really need to get up since I'm off from work, so I went to the home screen, tapped the clock and not only slid both sliders to "Off" for the alarms, I also made all alarm-clocks show 0:00.
Surprise surprise; for 7 days straight, my phone is waking me @ 7:25AM and then again @ 7:30AM.
Looked up the registry setting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock and check the 3 registry-keys for all 3 alarms. All seem to be set to NOT wake me at all.
Getting quite tired of this; anyone has any idea to how to solve?
What ROM?
Have you tried rebooting after you made the change?
WinMo is quite dumb at times.
Forgot to mention indeed but using the Energy-ROM.
Rebooted my phone both after changing the alarm-time and after changing/checking the registry. Both failed coz I woke up 7:25AM again today...

Sorry, I haven't used WinMo in ages. Random weird issues like this drove me batty. Android has gotten to the point where (for me) I can use it daily. Good luck.
You may just need to clear your notification queue. This has been a long running bug in WM since PPC 2003 was out. The simplest way by far is to use SK Tools. If you are a WM user who doesn't own this, then something is wrong with you!
The other, much longer, option is detailed by JVH3 in THIS POST.

I've never actually heard of SK Tools. Learn something new every day...
I still like my solution better tho .

Ditch WM .
Rebooting was obviously a bust...
Late update but it seems to have solved itself...
Well, not completely without a hitch; I started with cleaning out the registry. Then I disabled all push-updates to the phone (weather, mail, gps mapping and so on). Set all alarm-clocks to 0:00 and rebooted the device a few times. Next morning, the alarm went off again so I rebooted it again.
And ever since, not had this problem again... And yes, people saying to ditch WM, I might but in a month time I can get a new/free phone from my provider but unsure if I will go for Android or WM7.5.

I posted the known solutions a few posts back. SKTools is the simpler one of the two. If you can't get your hands on a copy of it, there was an alternative in that same post. All you have to do is clear your notification queue.
Is this happening to anybody else? Every time it happens I expect a text message or email to pop up but nothing.
Im on stock 4.0.2 btw.

Only one app does that on my phone (Ultrachron) and it's a feature to let you know a timer is about to run out.
I would guess it's a (misbehaving?) app in your case, too.

I was thinking the same thing as well. The only app off the top of my head that could cause this sort of thing would be MyBackup Pro since it has a scheduling feature for backups but I never set it up for backups.
I guess a program like BetterBatteryStats can tell you which app switched on the screen.
This used to happen to me when I had my nexus one. Usually it happened when i got a call from a blacklisted number. The call blocker would sometimes be a bit slow on the uptake and the screen would switch on without any noise or call notification. I just happened to check the blocked call log and found that the instances matched.
Maybe something similar is going on with your set up.
Probably (hopefully) a really stupid question with a simple answer, but I have one annoyance left with my HTC One X. I use the calendar function a lot and so whenever a reminder pops up, which I dismiss, it then open up a separate screen asking me if I want to create a note. My issues with this is:
1) I cannot understand why, when I've been reminded of a meeting or task to perform, I would want to create a note on it? Why does this feature exist.
2) How can I disable this?
I've been putting up with this since Feb, but no more, so hopefully some bright spark on here can enlighten me :fingers-crossed:
Thanks

I have a similar problem, have you experienced the Reminder coming up, and now matter how much you "Dismiss" it, it'll just pop straight back up, you experienced that?

Very annoying mate, the only way to dismiss it, is either go onto the computer at work, and dismiss it their on Outlook, or to unlock the phone, dismiss it about 50 times and close the notification etc, then it decides whether to go or not !
Hello Everyone,
I've updated yesterday the Galaxy Nexus with the 4.2 stock from Google.
The problem is that periodically ( every less or more 5 minutes ) the screen will turn on automatically like i pushed the power button.
Why is this happening?

we are not alone... it seems there's another user who just opened another post on "general" sub-forum about that
I am trying to investigate with better battery stats
this happens to me even if wifi AND 3g AND sync are turned off, so it cannot be related to signal

I find a IM called WeChat causing this problem after update. I guess those developer employed some trick to prevent their message service being killed, it's likely that the trick is well-know and used by many other developers too.

Brand new phone from Google less then a week old. It came with November .36 update. Havnet unlocked or rooted yet. Only installed a few apps.
Issue 1: Alarm keeps getting set to whatever it wants whenever it wants.....if I tap the phone to see the screen, more often than not, there will be an Alarm set for 5-10 minutes into the future. However, I did NOT set any alarms. AND, the alarm never actually rings. If I go back, the Alarm will be for 5-10 minutes into the future.....and this just keeps happening.
Issue 2: This just started yesterday, the Google App is coming up empty of information, cant seem to get it back....

That sounds familiar. I haven't had the issue but I know others have reported something similar with a simple fix. Might want to use the search box limited to the P6P section only for "alarm" and you should find the posts about it.

Thanks for that, will search a bit for Alarm. And yes, have rebooted, didnt help. Havent wiped cache yet, but probably give that a try too! Thx!!!
Ok, Found a post saying Tasker was the cause.....so gonna play with the Tasker settings but I had that setting to Never so should be working......
Ok, now found my error on the Google app.......I tweaked the setting off called "Discover" and thats what makes it all disappear. Seems to me that if you have that turned off then whats the point of the Google app?!?! Anyways, my own error.....
Awesome, glad you were able to fix it.
