[Q] No alarm by calendar apps ? - SlimRoms Q&A

The alarms of appointments created in Google calendar or aCalendar are not firing. There's no alarm and no notification.
Alarms created in the clock app are displayed in the notification bar and fired.
Are alarms via calendar apps not supported yet ?
Or is it a problem of my phone ?
I'm using SlimKat 4.4.2-3.6 weekly-3220 with minimal gapps on my Galaxy S2 i9100g.
Runs pretty smooth so far. Great job, devs ! :good:

I've updated to 3.8 weekly but no change.
So this is the behaviour of the applications:
Google Calendar appointment: alarm ringing: No, eMail notification: Yes
aCalendar appointment: alarm ringing: No, eMail notification: N/A
Clock alarm: alarm ringing: Yes, eMail notification: N/A
Reminder functionality in notification bar: alarm ringing: Yes
MyPhoneExplorer: can't synchronise/edit alarms but pops up a notification on the PC when an appointment triggers an alarm in the phone
But one question is still unanswered: Do other SlimRom users have the same problem or is it just my phone or the Galaxy S2 I9100G ?

Outlook Calendar Meeting Notification

The outlook calendar never notifies me about the upcoming meetings though i can see the meetings on the Today screen.
On Settings --> Sounds and Notifications --> Notifications tab
for Event = Reminders I have all options checked
Play Sound : Notify
Repeat
Display message on screen
Vibrate
Flash Light
But no notification comes up.
Make sure the appointment itself has the Reminder option selected - 1 min, 2 min, 15 min...
Might be too obvious OR you may have a more serious issue!
Yes. The appointments do have 15min reminders. PC's outlook pops up reminders window.
In that case it may be that your notifications have built up, or that there are duplicates in there.
First make a full backup. Then:
Get Checknotifications (free but basic) or Memmaid or SK Tools and check the notifications. Use the software to remove all duplicates, then look carefully at the remaining notifications which start with Calendar or Clock. Make sure that they all occur in the future. If any past or obviously strange notifications are there, then delete these. Don't delete notifications where you don't know what they do.
Then see if your reminders work properly again.
WLM alone puts 2+ duplicate notifications on my device on every soft reset.

Reminder POP UP WINDOW

Hi All,
Why I don't see a pop up window when their is an active calender reminder or the alarm is on? the window appears only when I enable it.
Is their a tweak to fix it?
Thanks,
system settings/personal/sounds
on the second tab, where you can configure the ringtone, there's more than just the ringtone. You can set the sounds, vibration and notification behaviour for all events. There's also a reminder event.
But I noticed that the reminder notification gets disabled from time to time. Don't know why.

No notifications come through when phone is standby

Hello, i dont get any notifications when my phone is on standby mode.
this includes:
Email
SMS
Alarms (windows alarms)
notifications for calendar events.
how does i fix?
okay, so try going to: settings - all settings - personal - sounds and notifications. There thick what you want. With the SMS notification while on stand-by, there is a bug which HTC solved (releasing a hotfix - found on htc.com). Tell me if you have any more problems and if you have solved these problems
No calemdar notofocation when the pin is set-up
Hi,
I have a similar problem. When the phone is on standby and locked (eg. after 15 min) I can not get any calendar notification working.
They all show up when I wake up the phone and enter my code.
The only workaround is to disable the lock, but I need it to be set-up (company policy)
Note that other notifications are ok:
- Call
- SMS (after installing the patch from HTC)
- Alarm
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Any progress on this?, I have installed the official htc hotfix for sms, makes no difference for me.
While the sms not notifying is a frustration, I could probably live with it but...
Alarms are the real problem for me... I can't rely on the device as an alarm clock as the alarm simply doesn't sound until I bring it out of standby with the power button.
Any cure for this, is it hardware or software? do cooked roms exhibit same behaviour?
P.
I have the same problem. I have downloaded the fix from HTC, but still my email does not play a sound (the LED flashes though).
I have not checked other things (SMS, alarms etc.)
It would seem VERY silly if the alarm doesn't sound!!!!
For e-mail, you have to go and turn on the notification for that in the sounds and notifications settings,
Settings-->All Settings-->Personal-->Sounds and Notifications-->Notifications-->Event:Messaging: New e-mail message
And select it to play a sound of your choosing.
it is not switched on by default, in this case that is good for me, if I got a notification alarm every time I got a new e-mail, my phone would be sounding alarms pretty much all the time....
The alarm problem not waking from standby, I have posted in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544112 a possible cure, working for me for 2 days at least...

Calendar Notification Tone issue

Since abt 5-6 years I have been using Business Calendar 2 app for setting up reminders for events & tasks.
But in Mi A1 the notification tone does not sound up. Phone vibrates & the reminder pops up if the relevant setting in BC2 is enabled. This issue is existing since the day i bought it.
I tried several other apps like DigiCal, Calengoo, aCalendar.... But still no notification sound.
Notification tone works perfectly in Gmail, WhatsApp, Sms..
What could be the solution ?? Is this happening with others too ??
Mods pls delete this thread. Notification was blocked in app settings. Issue is now resolved.
