Can anyone shed some light on the whole calendar stuff in Android? My situation is like this:
I have a calendar stored on MS Exchange (which is the calendar I actually use), then there is the calendar in my Google account (never used that before) and to make the party complete there is even a "My Calendar".
Whenever I create a new appointment I MUST change the calendar to which the appointment is saved. If I don't change it, it will go to My Calendar instead of my Exchange calendar.
Is there a way to disable or hide those (in my situation) redundant calendars?
i could not find a way on my rogers branded htc magic. it is one extra setting to change, so for me it is not a big deal as i have become used to it over the last several weeks, but i would prefer to be able to set a default of my choosing too
I was under the impression that once I sync my google calendar with my N1 then I did not have to setup reminders locally on N1. It will get all the reminders set on my google calendar itself.
That is how it used to be in all of my previous mobiles where in once I sync my phone with outlook it will remind me by sounding a selected ringtone everytime it is set to do so in my outlook.
But N1 just puts things in my status bar and even track ball doesn't light up. My default reminder settings on my N1 is to alert 15 min before the event (and not display in status bar).
Does this mean I will have to manually setup all the reminders locally for this to sound?
Any ideas? as I may be missing something here....
Can anyone tell me how to turn off reminders in calendar as the default?
Is there a way to set the default reminder for all events I add to the google calendar to 15 minutes? I see I can set a reminder after I add the event but sometimes I forget.
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm after some help please and I will try and explain everything as simple as possible; I have lived with this for several months however I've decided to try and find a solution for my issue I have, which is receiving duplicate calendar notifications for an event/appointment etc.
After searching the net for last few days I've not found a solution.
Basically my set up is as follows:
Up until a week ago I was running MM stock, no root on my S7 edge, with S Planner for my Gmail account and Nine - Outlook for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninefolders.hd3&hl=en) for my office 365 work account and now I'm running the Nougat Beta, no root, with the same Apps.
Some background info:
Before installing Nine I used the default email app for syncing my Office 365 work account, however it is very limited especially when using sub-folders and having rules created in Outlook on Windows App, I would receive an email on my PC and get an alert no problem however due to the default email app on Android not allowing notifications when emails are in a sub-folder it made me switch. Nine is expensive but worth the money to get notifications for sub-folders alone.
Therefore on to my problem:
Since using Nine if I set up an alert/appointment on my PC or using my phone when a notification comes up I get two notifications, one for default S Planner and one for Nine app, now I could simply disable the notification within Nine however the snooze function is far superior to S Planner and I would prefer to use that for work alerts etc.
For instance S Planner only allows snooze for a default period (I believe it is 5 or 10 mins) with no option to change this, so I can keep snoozing each time if I like, Nine however allows you to define a snooze period from 5 mins to 2 hours therefore I use Nine's snooze functionality especially as with work things are always changing therefore flexibility is better.
You may be thinking why not just use Nine and put up with the duplicate notifications, well I have for several months but now I'm setting a lot more alerts/appointments and it's now becoming a nuisance!
Ideally I want to be able to use S Planner as my default calendar app to view both my Gmail calendar and work calendar but have S Planner to alert me only for personal alerts and carry on using Nine to alert me for work related alerts, maybe I'm asking for too much but to me it seems quite simple.
Over the last couple of days I've tried a few things:
Disabled notifications within S Planner, installed the Google Calendar app and enabled notifications in there and then I enabled my work calendar in the Google Calendar app, however it does the same as with S Planner I'm still getting duplicate notifications, now just with Google Calendar and Nine! :crying:
It appears S Planner and Google Calendar app syncs between the two.
I can disable my work calendar in the Google Calendar app but it turns it off in S Planner therefore when I open my default calendar app (S Planner) I only now see personal information.
The Google Calendar app also has limited functionality with the snooze, I have tested this and it's very similar to S Planner, there are no options to change the default snooze or pop up when the alert appears.
Maybe I'm over thinking this and someone will hopefully point out something I haven't thought about, which I would be very grateful if someone can because it's driving me crazy!! Maybe there is a calendar app out there that allows you to view all your calendars but select individual calendar alerts, which is what I'm mainly after.
Thanks in advance and I hope this was comprehensible :good:
