OK, this is a bit minor, but it is really bugging me. I use Business Calendar Pro for my calendar. I turn on notification with Business Calendar, and then turn them off in the Android calendar. That way I won't get two notifications. This has worked with the past three HTC phones.
The problem is that no matter what I do, I can't get the built in calendar to stop posting reminders. Every time a reminder goes off, I get two notifications. I've gone into the default calendar app and made sure the notifications are off, but when I get a reminder, it appears that the setting gets turned back on. This is not one of the apps that can be disabled either.
I've also gone in and deselected all calendars from the app, so that it should not in theory contain any appointments anyway.
I'm not rooted, but I'm hoping someone else has had this and found an answer.

Hi All,
Just upgraded with the AT&T release of WM6. Everything works well though the phone has done a few quirky things like locking up on the unlock screen and once setting off the vibrate notification and never stopping.
Two questions though.
1. The Messaging app periodically checks for mail and then vibrates the phone and pops up a notification telling me I have x unread messages. I KNOW that I have unread messages and have not chosen to read them but I get a new notification every time it checks to see if there are new messages regardless of whether any new ones came in or not.
Can the notification be stopped without shutting off all notifications from other apps?
2. Every time I turn the screen off, when I turn it back on whatever app I had running has gone to the background and the phone has shifted to the today screen. Can this be stopped? I want it to be whereever I left it. I have searched but cannot find an option for that behavior.
I have to say that the Bluetooth stack works SOOO much better than did the one in WM5. And I love that Messaging now supports HTML. Profimail stopped working with html links in messages from yahoo news and it was getting annoying that I could not go to the full article if I wanted to read more.
Wonder if anyone else has come across this. In the HTC calendar I would like to have notifications for some important entries, but not for all of them. If I apply notifications these are given to ALL items - when I add a new entry to the calendar there is no option for turning off the notification, only get the 5min, 10min etc options. Wish there was a way around as I do like the calendar.
I've got the option on my device; scrolling up the 'Reminders' list, I have 'None' above the 5 minutes reminder.
Damn.. I feel utterly stupid. I forgot to tick the activate the thing. My apologies.
I still wish the default reminder could be None.
Thanks for your response though.
Hi,
Being a recent convert from Windows Mobile, I'm noticing how the alarms and notifications of applications seems separate from each other rather than integrated. Has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? Also, what is the technical difference between an alarm and a notification? Everything seems to be a notification rather than an alarm.
Is there any suggested techniques/configuration to ensure all of my apps use the same notifications/volumes etc without me having to go to every single app and configure it? Also is there a way to configure how the vibration works system-wide? Every single app seems to have their own settings and its a bit of a pain. I also prefer a "longer" vibration in case I miss something (the phone is usually in my pocket).
Also does anybody have recommendations regarding applications which can repeat or remind me for missed events? I want a repeat reminder that I have an appointment coming up, or have missed an SMS or a call (but haven't noticed it) or have received an e-mail? I just want something like to remind me every 5 minutes by playing the sound and/or vibrating, for about an hour - mainly just in case I haven't noticed it - but I don't want it going on forever in case I don't have the phone with me and it annoys others!
Thanks,
Ian
I've just downloaded Missed Reminder which does all that I think. Although it's not for calendar reminders, which is annoying.
Hopefully that will change in the future since I can't find anything else that does the same job for calendar reminders - or Google will sort it out and add repeaters.
Hi
My watch no longer vibrates when I get a notification or message. It's there if I look manually, but I don't get notified by it. It still vibrates when getting a call or a alarm, so the vibrate function is still functional.
Anyone have any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance
Yup, noticed this too after updating to 5.1.1
This is happening to me too. I hope there is a resolution soon. Missed a meeting.
By design, the watch only vibrates on events that your phone would vibrate for. is it possible you hvae a setting on your phone that is set not to vibrate on messages for some reason?
Are these meetings in Google Calendar? For some reason Google turned of notification by default recently in Google Calendar.
- Go to calendar.google.com
- Go to Settings, Calendar tab
- 'Edit notifications' for your calendar name
- Add a Popup notification
Not sure why they turned this off by default. Pissed off many.
Hi there,
got my Watch yesterday and one of the main things i wanted to do with it, was to dictate reminders by voice and then get reminded, obviously.
well, dicating the reminder and saving it works just fine.
the problematic part is getting the reminder. if i tell my watch to set a reminder to do something in 10 minutes, it saves the reminder, and that is the last thing i see of it.
the time passes, no notification about the reminder.
if i go into the reminder app on the watch, the reminder is still there under current reminders, but thats quite useless as i have to go into the app to see my reminder.
is there any way to notify me on a reminder?
OK, i found out that i forbade Google Now to send me notifications, that was it.
But now i have another Problem.
If i set a reminder for something half an hour from now, it notifies me on it immediately and not when it is supposed to notify my. Is there some setting to rectify this? as i cant seem to find anything, sadly.
I too noticed this issue and I am surprised no one is responding. If I set a reminder on the watch, the watch or the phone should make some kind of noise but it do not.
