Calendar Default Alarm - Vibrant General

First off, let me say that i heavily rely on the calendar on any smartphone...
On my nexus one, when i create a new calendar entry it defalts to a 15 minute reminder. Since i always want a reminder this is a great time saver. On the Vibrant, the default reminder is not set at all. Does anyone know how to change this?
Thanks

Isn't there a setting for a default reminder (Calendar->Menu->More->Settings->Set default reminder)? Sorry I don't have Vibrant but that's how it is on G1)
Let us know!

unfortunately there is no setting like this

Can someone help me? I think it is a registry key or so.
Thx a lot, i have searched with google on german sites and always here in the forum but i find no answer.
It's annoying - I would like that changed too.
Hello,

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is no way to change the reminder time or just a work around.
Any help would be great!
Regards

If somone knows how to change, I'm happy to.
i dont remember how, but i turned it off completely. i would like it back on, and to change the time. it used to make me angry when it would go off at midnight.
You could set the reminder time to 7.5 days so that it goes off at 12 noon rather than midnight...

How to setup an appointment with am/pm in HTC Calendar

Hello,
sorry for the dumb question, but I haven't been able to figure it out, and I looked through this forum as well: when setting up a new appointment using HTC Calendar, I'm only able to setup start/end time using 0:00-12:00 window, with no option to set am/pm! The 3rd dial row where it's supposed to have am/pm option is just empty and cannot be modified in any way. As a consequence, all meetings can be set only in the morning.
Is there anything that I'm missing?
Thank you.

Go to Settings>Menu>System>Regional Setting>Time, then change AM/PM symbol from blank to AM/PM accordingly. Hope this works for you.
It works!!!
Yes, that does it! 10+ for your answer - I don't understand why I had it with no AM/PM symbol in there...

calendar reminder bug (?)

Not sure if this is my phone or how the HD2 is programmed: If a calendar event reminder is due while my phone is switched off, then I completely miss the reminder after I switch it back on. Same is true for alarms.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks.

This happens to me too.
I believe it goes as follows:
If the phone is completly switched off (not on standby),
the windows' event queue does not exist.
When the phone boots up, it re-builds the event queue from the time it is switched on.
Is it a bug ?
May be (maybe it's design flaw)
Is it an HTC bug or Microsofts ?
I Really do not know whom to blame
Should thay have saved the event queue on power off and reload it on bootup, instead of re-building?
probably.
On my WM2003, if I loaded the event queue from a backup,
and the event queue contained an overdue alarm/reminder
it would have just clogged the queue, and no remonders popped up,
Which is worse than skipping an alarm/remonder or two.
But - nevetheless, they should have fixed the problem, instead of dropping the alarms.
on a side note, does anybody know how to make the phone not remind you before 15 minutes and on the time?i just need to see the appointment is there on manila. ive loaded all my appointments from outlook - till june and on my outlook, ive turned the reminders for each individual one off. however, the phone still reminds me and its annoying. i dont really want to have to go through each one of them (theres 100) and turn it off. itll take me a day!
Som30ne,
thanks for your reply. At least I don't feel that there's something wrong with MY device, and that I need to send it back ---there is only something WRONG with my device.
Strangely enough, on my HTC Touch Diamond, these reminders (and alarms) seemed to work perfectly well and wouldn't miss a single event, so, in upgrading, either Windows or HTC have made a blunder.
Cheers!
munzab,
I know Outlook by default seems to remind you not only at the user set time before the event, but also when it starts to occur, but I don't think my HTC does that. And certainly not the 15 minutes before one.
Hi,
In my personal experience the ability to switch the phone on when an appointments et. is due is unavailable in Windows Mobile. I remember having this on Symbian S60 years ago but not on any Windows Mobile device.
For the second issue. In calendar menu, settings there is an option to change the deault reminder from anything from 1 week before to 5 minutes before as well as None. Have you tried setting it to None to see what happens? I haven't tried it but know its there. The standard alarm doesn't have a delay reminder option so its the time you set only I believe.
Hope this helps in some way.
Regards.

I have done this for htc, but i have the impression it will only do that for new appointments that are created on the pocket pc.
i can turn each one off by selecting one after the other and editing each. but not from outlook.

Reminder

I recently bought Tattoo... My old phone was nokia 6233, and I could easly add an event in my calendar, with some test, and adding reminding alarm... one alarm at specific time.
In tattoo, I have to specific how long that some thing will be, and alarm is set like 5min/1h etc BEFORE the start - it sux! Is there any other place I can just add a reminder to do something? (Like a reminder, I have to call a friend, about ..., so some text comes up which reminds me it?)
use the in built alarm function - you can add infinte amount of separate alarms and specify days of the week. Obviously you can only set these per week. The calendar function follows the same pattern as MS Outlook on the PC hence the confusing stuff.
Its not too bad when you get use to it.

There are lot of free notepad apps that have the functions you're looking for. As for me, I use AK Notepad!

How do I let the user set multiple Alarms via AlarmManager?

Hi all,
I'm starting a new app so I want to get some of the ideas out of the way on how to do this. Part of my new application is going to allow users to set reminders for whatever they want, they can set as many reminders as they like. They can set the time/date and a short description. I looked into AlarmManager as a result and it looks like it does what I want however I have no idea how to do it on a bigger scale.
Obviously these reminders need to go off even when the user is not in my app and AlarmManager does that but right now I've only managed to learn how to set up AlarmManager via a basic tutorial.
Just like the default Alarm app is there a way for me to do it all via a good UI? I mean when a user sets up an alarm does it get saved into the system or do I have to save it in SharedPreferences myself? I want them to be able to set a number of reminders but also see the reminders they have set on a page in my app. Just like the default Alarm app where you can see what you've set.
Are there any good tutorials out there or good open source apps I can learn from? Sorry if this is a broad question but it's mainly about getting AlarmManager to work well with what a user inputs. That would be a good place to start.
I would really appreciate some help, thanks.
