Ok, so what's with Google and the Vibrant and the base calendar app?
1. It won't wake the phone on a notification.
2. It only notifies once - rather than continuing to do so until you sleep or dismiss it.
3. You can't select a tone for it, a loudness for it, etc.
Huh?
Windows Mobile did this right FIVE YEARS AGO!
So what do I have to add/buy to get what I had on my HD2?

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

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...
P.
1. Email: Every time email polls it deletes all messages. It drives me nuts, because I want to keep most recent emails on my phone as reference (which is what I did with my iPhone, and before that with my WM).
This happens both with the stock email and with K-9.
2. Notifications: I get a call and a notification pops up on the top bar - I pull the shade down and clear it. But then, there is also a counter on the bottom phone icon, which does not clear until I go into the call log. Any way to clear these at once (since it's the same notification)?
Also, is there a way to get a text message notification to work like the iPhone: to wake up the screen for a few seconds upon arrival, so I can see what is says and who it's from, without turning on the phone?
I hear you, Macguy!
Driving me nuts too! I'm used to WinMo phone where I can have my emails on my phone and in my PC.
Why can't anyone make such an email app for Android??? I don't want to live in the Google cloud!!!
Most obvious & needed missing Droid app.. LED alert control across the board in 1 app
No, this app does not exist.
I have tried them all and since Froyo 2.2..
1. most are not reliable
2. some only do 1 thing
3. some busted
4. some are no longer being actively updated by the dev
examples..
1. Blink get's so so reviews. Does not work for me on Droid rooted. same for many others. fails.
2. Handcent still works for SMS and MMS custom colors + sounds.
3. Missed Call app is busted also for colored LED on 2.2 Droid & dev admits it and just does not keep up on the app. Calendar events no longer even work, missed call LED reverts to stock green, sound alert does work.
4. Calendar Notification can do custom color LED & sound for calendar events
5. gMail Notification can do custom color LED and sound for gMails
6. Tasker can be used to adjust SMS & Missed call LED settings & sounds.. but I get 50/50 results with colored LED and it gives dual notifications for missed calls.
7. Blinker fails... see my review here in the devs thread
what is needed...
1 app that can change sound alert and LED color for (no order):
1. gmail
2. missed calls
3. Talk
4. Calendar event
5. Voice
6. waiting VVM
7. SMS
the problem is that no 1 app does them all and no app has ever been able to do some of these. For example, no app can or has ever been able to intercept #3 and #5 or #6 for example. So now, we have a weak selection of LED alert apps, you have to have several, just to get simple control over LED alerts + sound in Froyo 2.2. The Missed Call app was so close to the concept BUT it cannot change stock things like Talk or Voice from the stock green LED. Plus, the calendar function and missed call both broke in his 2.2 latest release, which was back in May, and never responds to emails or maintains his app.
Point...
we need 1 app that can control these LED alerts + sounds for all of these apps all in 1 simple place. and it would be worth charging money for it and seems absurd such a thing does not exist.
I am running the Dell stock 1.6 software.
1.Is there a way to set different sound options for different notifications. Example, I would prefer to only get an audible notification for SMS messages but none for emails. I don't see that option. If there is not, is there a program that will do this?
2. As part of this issue, I now get little beeps or bells going off and by looking at the notifications can not determine what caused the sound. I don't even see any changes in emails or my Facebook widget. Maybe tweets?
3. My notifications are suddenly screwed up. It keeps telling me I have x number of emails to read. I click on it, read them or even "mark folder as read" and then it still tells me I have the same number of emails to read. this didn't used to happen. It started recently.
Thanks

1. You can configure the notification in each app. Start gmail and go to settings etc....
2. It may be sd card notifications which you can turn off in the main settings app.
3 try forcing a sync.
4. Upgrade to 2.1 or froyo. ;-)

i have the standard latest htc rom for the t-mobile (uk) hd2 and have noticed that the dismiss/snooze pop up does not appear any more with the standard win mo alarm, most annoying at 4.30am when u want 5 mins snooze and have to unlock the phone, go to the notifications menu and choose it there.
anyone know why??? had a troll around google and found nothing. did it on previous rom too.
To add to this, i received a skype call the other day on it too and the calling pop up did not appear either??
