Hi XDA Developers Community!
Recently I noticed calendar notification settings (of both S Calendar and Google Calendar app) cleared upon power off of my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I'm trying to turn off all S Calendar notifications while leaving on all Google Calendar notifications (prefer this app).
Main questions:
-Has anyone else experienced this?
-Does anyone know if S Calendar and Google Calendar notification settings are tied to one another?
Samsung technical support is suggesting a factory reset**. As I want to avoid a hard reset, I tried to troubleshoot on my own and noted the below scenario highlighting notification setting status of both S Calendar and Google Calendar before/after power off:
S Calendar:
Before powering down/or resetting Galaxy SIII:
>Settings
Under "Event notification"
>Set alerts & notifications
>"Off" (radio button selected)
After powering down/or resetting Galaxy SIII:
>Settings
Under "Event notification"
>Set alerts & notifications
>"Status bar notification" (radio button selected)
Google Calendar app
Before powering down/or resetting Galaxy SIII:
>Settings
>General settings
Under "Reminder settings"
>Notifications (checked)
>Pop-up notification (checked)
After powering down/or resetting Galaxy SIII:
>Settings
>General settings
Under "Reminder settings"
>Notifications (unchecked)
>Pop-up notification (unchecked)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Would appreciate if anyone has any insight into this!
**After contacting Samsung technical support, this is what I was told:
-Tech support initially said that it has to do with removing the battery and said that Google Calendar + S Calendar notification settings are linked to one another.
-(After telling tech support it happened w/o removing the battery and just powering off), technician rescinded original statement
-Then said, should not be happening and suggested a factory reset.
Thanks,

Same problem here.
Identical as written above, but :
After powering down/or resetting Galaxy SII:
Google calendar:
>Settings
>General settings
Under "Reminder settings"
>Notifications (checked) typo?
>Pop-up notification (unchecked)
S Calendar:
Notifications sounds are reset to "On time" sound after a reboot.
Google calendar:
The notification sound is unchanged.
But after a second reboot the Google Calendar sound has set itself the same as the S Calendar ("On time").
so, after each reboot/power off:
S Calendar:
I should manually set the status bar notifications to off to prevent double view in the status view.
Google Calendar:
I have to redo my sound settings because Google calendar takes over the S Calendar settings.
My Google calendar Status bar notifications looks like off but they appear on the staus bar.
I do not change/check them.

Huib, so it seems like it's not an isolated issue to my device and a factory reset may not be the solution. May just be the interference between S Calendar and Google Calendar perhaps? I wonder if deleting/reinstalling Google Calendar might help the cause.
It's just a hassle to turn off notifications on S Calendar after a reboot. I have multiple batteries so usually after recharging one, I'll switch to another...

I already did a delete/reinstall. no difference.
After that had some problems with sync settings: S calendar was empty. But maybe I should have waited.
Played with the sync settings, reinstalled Google but do not remember what I did to make it working again.
So, sound settings not solved.
It must have to do with the samsung/google combi.
Strange that there are few complaints.

I will have to see if my sounds are effected--to date, have not noticed it. Hopefully others will see this thread and contribute their experiences!

I have the same issue here. I hoped the JB 4.1 update would fix, but it didn't. I did factory reset, and that didn't fix it either.
* Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sprint
Any news on this ? I have the same problem and it is annoying.
New version of Google Calendar didn't solve it eiher.
Same exact issue here. I have the Sprint Galaxy S III with Jelly Bean and both S Calendar and Google Calendar installed. Hopefully Samsung or Google will address this in a future update.
I'm seeing the exact same issue here on an I9300.
The google calendar/S Planner "default reminder time" changes from "off" to "15 mins" every time I reboot the phone.
Does anyone have solution yet?
International I9300 and stock 4.1.2 NEE here and annoyed with the same problem. If anyone finds a solution please write it here or to the International I9300 forum. I'm mostly interested in finding a way to prevent duplicates in notifications. I have found out that my 'Show week numbers' setting in Google Calendar gets reset to unticked after a reboot.
Anyone tried to disable Samsung Calendar altogether?

SCH-i535 Same issue. I assumed it was S-Cal and froze it, but the Google Calendar still resets on a reboot. I don't get it!!!
Discovered the problem today on my official 4.1.2 S2 and the only way to avoid duplicate notifications is go to application manager --> "All" tab --> S planner and uncheck the option show notifications. Thus, even if notification settings are active again after every reboot, they won't show up.
But the problem with the settings on google calendar after reboot, still remains unsolved...I am afraid (didnt try) that disabling SPlanner will cause Google calendar to malfunction as well as it is obvious that they are strongly tied together. Same thing happens (tried it) if you disable sync on SPlanner calendars - Google calendars do not get synced as well...
I am pretty sure that the problem exists on all S3/S2 stock JB users but it's not on the talk, since noone cares about such things, including Google or Samsung to opt for a solution in a future update...
Pfff,
So no use to upgrade my Galaxy S2 from JB.
The strangest thing is, that we seem to be the only in the world.
Same issue on my Sprint SIII, haven't been able to find a solution.
I'm experiencing this problem as well.
After reboot setting in both google calendar and s planner are being reset to defaults.
One setting that was not mentioned here is 'first day of the week', is also being reset.

My only solution on the Galaxy 2 was removing googles calendar .
Now a restart does not change anything.
I can live with it.

Removing Google calendar worked for me.
S planner is a bit clunky but full of features.

Yep, the only "solution" As you cannot remove S Planner.

What's the advantage of using s planner over other calendar apps?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Solved!
Today I flashed my S2 with a newer stock JB, moving from LSD to LSW.
Happily I discovered that after 2 restarts, all notifications settings I chose on both calendar apps remained intact so like the thread author, I unchecked all S Planner notification settings and now fully use google calendar which I prefer too.
Have a nice weekend everybody

Has anyone else faced this?
I am running version 1.9.7 on a brand new Galaxy Nexus on the t-mobile US network.
EVERY TIME I relaunch the app and check my settings this app has restored to its default settings. This means it is TURNING BACK ON WITHOUT MY PERMISSION the following:
- Messenger Location services is being turned back on
- Vibrate on incoming notifications is being turned back on
- Friend Requests alerts is being turned back on
- Friend confirmation alerts is being turned back on
- Event invite alerts is being turned back on
- application request alerts is being turned back on
Really facebook? After all the trust issues and public outcry regarding your default settings you are either making this happen or allowing this bug to continue in the app you upload to Google Play????
Yes I've been experiencing the same thing a couple of times.
Guys
Is there a way to delete the work location? It seems I need to put something in there and don't have a daily work location. I don't mind when Google now sees an appointment in my calendar for a particular location but when my calendar is empty, I rather not have the alert
Thanks
Have you tried looking at the Google Now settings?
yup every tab in there. I can change the work location address but not delete it
You can also disable the notification.
Go to Google maps on a browser you are logged in with your Google account on. Click my places and edit / delete your work location. Don't know if it works but worth a shot.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Went to google maps and it did show under places and I deleted it. However, it still shows up under google now on my phone.Tried rebooting but didn't help
Why are you trying to remove the saved location? Did you try the setting to just disable the notification?
If I disable the notification, it'll disable everything from Home and I don't want that. I want it to give me notifications when something is in my calendar but don't want a default notification to work because I don't go to my work location every day
I have settings specifically for "Before commute from home" and "Before commute to home". I'm pretty sure those are only for work and have nothing to do with travel time to other meetings in your calendar.
Hi
I installed the stock Google calendar app from google play, on my Note 2
the default calendar app remained there
both use my google account
so the result is that I get duplicated notifications for every event I place in my calendar
anyone knows of a workaround (not involving uninstalling the google app) ?
thanks !

Turn off notifications for one of the apps.
Both S Planner and Google Calendar have the option in their settings menus.

hey, that was easy! cheers Dave many thanks
I was expecting a trick to stop S Planner completely from running, thereby saving system resources.

I did that but every time I reboot my phone, both app's settings get reset back to default. So I ended up going into setting and turning one off. Does this happen to you too?
This also happens for default app selections too... Once I reboot it forgets my selection and I keep having to reselecting default app for everything.

Have you tried disabling S Planner using Application Manager?
I did a huge update on my phone (from 4.0.3 w/ Sense 4 all the way to the latest 4.1.1 w/ Sense 4+, about 4 or 5 updates total), so I don't know which update brought up this bug.
With the Productivity lock screen style, not all the sections work.
Working:
Weather
Calendar events
Social feeds
Not working:
Calls
Messages
Mails
By not working, I mean they simply will never show on my lock screen regardless of how many notifications I have.
No custom ROM. Latest JB 4.1.1 update. Yes, I did go to the settings and make sure these notifications were enabled.
Well, I guess I fixed it.
Calls: Open Phone. Settings. Enable "Phone notification preview" (last check box).
Messages: Open Messages. Settings. Notifications. Enable "Notification preview" (last check box of the Received messages section).
When I got the phone, these settings were enabled by default. After updating to JB, then resetting to factory settings, these were disabled by default.
Each time a new page is loaded in the stock browser, I get this voice message saying "Loading started" and then "Page loaded". Totally useless, disturbing and stupid.
I searched everywhere and I can't find the switch to stop it. Can Someone help me?

i couldnt find answer either but i stopped using stock browser and the voice doesnt happen on chrome
Either talkback is enabled or something else under accessibility. I had this problem using the app iphone notifications. I froze both the Samsung text to speech and google text to speech using titanium backup and it has stopped.

I have the same issue. Do you have Light Flow installed? If you do, I believe it is a bug with that app and/or TalkBack.

can confirm that its a bug with light flow.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
I tried disabling Lightflow and Talkback and the problem remained.
I also revised tbe Accessibility options and saw nothing that would cause this. I tried both Samsung and Google Text-to-speech - unfortunately there is no option to disable it.
Guess I'll switch to Chrome... When the designers try to make a phone too intelligent, it becomes stupid!!!
Sent from my SGH-M919V using xda premium
I have the same problem...
I have also Tasker in accessibility, and from some quick tests I think that if any of accessibility items (TalkBack, LightFlow or Tasker) is on "yes" then the problem occurs
I will do more tests in this evening ...
It's very annoying ... !
Had the same issue. Try turning off all of the "Services" under your accessibility settings. Even those that seem unrelated. For me in was a notification service for a dashclock widget. Wasn't very obvious, but simple enough. Of course, you can turn them back on one by one to determine the culprit.
Problem solved

Yes, this is the cause. Lightflow is doing this. I switched to Chrome and the problem is solved. Samsung are good at hardware but not very good at software.
Thanks for your reply

Have you tried actually uninstalling it? I had to do that before the issues went away.. I love lightflow, but the bugginess is just too much of a pain right now.

This is discussed over in the Pebble forums. Apparently Samsung has a few bugs in their software, various parts of the system treat "any app that is using accessibility" to mean "talk back is activated" and behaving accordingly. A few problems were noted on earlier phones and those have been fixed (pending new updates being pushed by the carriers), but meanwhile the S4 ships with some new bugs along those lines, including annoying voice prompts on the browser and the stock gallery.
Even worse, the workaround for prior models was to disable Samsung and Google TTS services, but the stock S4 ROM refuses to let you disable the Samsung TTS service so there is no way to get rid of this (sans rooting).
The S4 Touchwiz ROM also turns off many features that don't work well if Talkback is activated, but does so if any accessibility app is active even if TB is turned off.
Apparently using a non-Touchwiz launcher can fix it, as can using a non-stock browser.
