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)

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-(After telling tech support it happened w/o removing the battery and just powering off), technician rescinded original statement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 have been having problems for sometime where I don't get SMS or email notifications to the watch. It will show a phone call coming in but not the others. I thought the update would fix it but it didn't. I have factory reset it, repaired it and changed default applications. I am going crazy as I bought the watch just to get those notificiations. I am thinking of selling it and getting the Gear S2. Any ideas? Please help.
thanks in advance
I get most notifications, just not from my sms app, textra. @ortid59, have you tried a factory reset of the watch? It should force a sync of the apps and allow you to receive the notifications.

Or you can resync apps from Android Wear.
So, I just today got the new Samsung Galaxy watch. I lost my Gear S3 Frontier so decided it was time for an upgrade to the latest Galaxy Watch.
I had it set up perfect on my frontier watch where I used Google Hangouts as both my phone dialer and text message program since that is what I was using on my cellphone anyway. I never used my actual dialer or texting program native on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone.
My phone has not changed and I retrieved and updated my settings to my new Galaxy Gear phone. But something is amiss...
It was a few years ago but I *THINK* the way I made Google Hangouts messaging program and the Hangouts/Talk dialer work is there was an app by Google either in the Galaxy App store or Google play store and someone passed the messages to my watch.
Now I cant find it or remember the way I made it all work. When I call my Google Voice/Hangouts phone number from another phone I get a quick popup notification on my watch but it does not vibrate nor can I use quick reply or reply at all. I used to be able to do that on my Gear S3 Frontier. Also my watch does vibrate and fully functional on other programs like Facebook messenger.
Anyone know how I can get it to work again like that on my new Galaxy watch? Its a big deal breaker for me since that is my main number Google number!
It won't work because Hangouts is Google App and Samsung run Tizen.
You can reply to messages such as WhatsApp or IG but you can instigate.

Incorrect. I had it working perfectly find on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier watch. You are correct it is Tizen OS on watch but somehow I got it to work perfectly. I think they may have had the hangouts app in the Samsung app store but I dont see it there anymore.
Bottom line there is a way to do it because I have before and it worked perfect with notfication and vibration but I forgot exact how I did it and lost old watch now have the new latest Galaxy Watch.
So I get all other notifications on my new Galaxy watch with both visual popup on watch notifications and vibrations with the exception of the Google hangouts notifications they just show up my watch does not vibrate on those which is the most important thing to me which I am trying to figure out but my phone does vibrate on those alerts.
just wondering if there is an update, would be great to get Google Voice on the Galaxy Watch active 2
Hi please if someone can help me, I own a Galaxy Watch and recently is not showing any notification that My phone recieves.
My phone is a Xioami Mi9Tpro , I have already :
- Clear Cache of App and plugins of Galaxy Watch.
- Re installing all apps and plugins.
- Reseting my Watch to factory configuration.
- Give all permisions on the notification access panel.
It worked fine until last week, I've heard something about MIU11 update but I'm not quite sure. Hope someone share some experiencies.
Hey all,
I've recently gotten the Galaxy Watch Active 2, and already gotten around to changing the region to KOO. Now have the latest Tizen 5.
However, I'm having issues with a few things. Most importantly, the Weather app on the watch wants me to add a location, so I click "add", and it tells me to add it on my phone. And on my phone, it sends me to the Weather app settings within the Wearable app, and I get a toast notification saying "Couldn't add location. Connect to a network and try again.". Same happens when I tap on "locations" in the settings manually.
I don't have a Samsung phone, so I have no dedicated Samsung Weather app. Could that be the issue? Or what's the problem?
P.S. the same issue was there on Tizen 4, so it's not a Tizen 5 bug
Nevermind, I figured it out! I installed the Samsung Weather Forecast app from apkmirror and restarted my phone afterwards. Not sure which of those fixed it. Maybe both. But it thankfully works now!
Good to know, glad it's recovered. cheers
