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.
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 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
I'm using the Google Now Launcher which I've used on all my Android phones for the past 4 years.
I installed it on my Note 7 and it was working fine until a few hours ago.
However, now when I click on the App Drawer, the normal white screen pops up but instead of being populated with apps, it is either empty or showing just 1 or 2 apps.
I have tried clearing data and the cache for the launcher. Uninstalling and reinstalling. Switching to TouchWiz and then back again but nothing is working.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not rooted btw.
Solved: It was Secure Folder - they don't play nicely together. I uninstalled Secure Folder. Restarted the phone and enabled Google Now Launchers and it works perfectly!
Does anyone know if this incompatibility between Secure Folder and Google Now Launcher is still present?
Brand new S8 - Same Issue
Google Now Launcher is not showing apps in app drawer on my new Samsung S8 with the latest update done today.
Same thing happened for me on my Samsung Galaxy S8 running Google Now Launcher.
Solved: Uninstalling Secure Folder as per OP solved the issue.
Here is the first working Pixel launcher for Knox (Secure Folder) enabled Samsung phones

My phone recently installed the October 2021 security update and with it my Google Calender 2x3 widget has stopped working. I've tried uninstalling the recent updates for Google Calender, I've tried clearing storage & cache, I've also tried turning the phone off and on and I've also tried removing the widget then adding it back to the home screen again but it will still tell me "Problem Loading Widget".
The 4x5 month view widget is working fine, so I'm super flustered why this one widget won't work?
Anyone else had this issue? Did you manage to resolve it?
My phone is still untouched, still locked bootloader & standard ROM.
