When I get reminders for items in my calendar, is there a way to get options for how long i can "snooze" the alarm for? Looks like it is set in stone at ten minutes. Windows mobile used to give me the option for 5, 15, 30min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day etc..
anyone know?

Found a bug :-(
If in Calendar you set Reminders to anything less than the default 15 minutes (ahead of the appointment), then the Reminder does not fire up at all (i.e. no reinder display and no ring at the set reminder time).
Whom dp we report this to get it fixed?
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.
I'm looking for an app (or maybe it already exists in windows mobile 6.5 somewhere) that will let me view my snoozed items on the today screen.
Basically I see the calendar, an event comes up. I snooze the item for something like 4 hours. But then you don't see it at all until the reminder pops back up 4 hours later.
Any ideas?
Hi, most of my calendar events are set with a 15 minute reminder. When the reminder pops up, I click dismiss. Then at the event time I get the reminder again. It seems that all the dismiss option does is snooze the reminder. In outlook, and on older Win Mo devices that I've used, the dismiss option actually dismissed the reminder completely, not snoozing it.
Does anyone else experience this, or know how to prevent it?
Thanks.
Unfortunately two key PIM features though available in Windows Mobile have been hidden by the Sense UI
1. Snooze by N minutes
2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking
1. Snooze by N minutes
When you get a reminder on the HD2 for a pending meeting you only get the option to "dismiss" or "snooze" In Windows Mobile (for as far back as I can recall) you always had the option to snooze by number of minutes you got to choose from a drop down menu i.e. 5 minutes before, 15 minutes before, 1 hour etc). This was a very useful function as you got a reminder closer to the time rather than get a reminder every 5 minutes as with the HD2. This can get really annoying if someone has booked a meeting with you with a reminder over 15 minutes ahead or you have many meetings. You end up spending loads of time just hitting snooze.
2. Attendees meeting acceptance tracking
When you book a meeting with several people windows mobile shows the invitees of that meeting and their acceptance reply i.e. declined, accepted, no response. Again the SENSE UI has hidden this so you just get a list on invitees.
It is very useful to me as you need to know if the meeting is worth running based on reponse to the meeting invite.
Anyone got any suggestions/tweaks etc?
1) BsB Tweaks has a setting to re-enable the time options in the notifications.
2) Make a shortcut to Windows\Calendar.exe, and you get the standard WM calendar view
