[Q] Calender and text notification questions - Vibrant General

1) Where can i set the calender's notification? Also where can i set it so that i pop up a screen at the alarm time, not just a small icon in the notification bar?
2) Any way to disable the samsung calender or make the google calender the default when creating a new event? I hate Samsung for adding its own calender and contact apps.
3) When i get a text message, the notification turn on screen and wont turn off, I waited for about 5 mins. I checked the screen timeout and it is set at 30 secs. Anyway to make it turn off screen after a few seconds? or not turn on the screen at all?

Found a fix for the screen wont turn off issue. I believe this is a bug with the phone. If i turn on the Puzzle Lock then it work just fine. If i turn off the Puzzle Lock then the screen wont turn off as described.
Anyone else know the answer for the other two questions?

Screen turns on with messages/allerts but I wish it didn't

Hi,
I tried to search the older threads but it couldn't find anything.
Could someone tell me how I could stop my phone to turn on when I get a new message or a reminder? And how can I turn off the screen when listening to mp3's on media player?
Thanks!
"I could stop my phone to turn on when I get a new message or a reminder" <-- this is a bit difficult, but tell us your concern and there may be ways around the problem.
Media player, on the playing screen,
Menu -> Options -> Buttons[Tab] -> Toggle Screen
Assign a button for Toggle screen to switch it off.
I mean when my phone is in my pocket and it reminds me of an appointment or an incoming message the screen turns on. I would like the screen remain off and just get an audio warning.
In events and notifications .. have you tried to set the alert to audio notifications .. and dont select the other visible options .. Will that be sufficient?
I agree
Has anyone figured out how to prevent the screen from turning on. I place it in my pocket (with Device Lock) and an event/notification turns the screen on but I have it set off.
Is there some master switch to say only turn screen on with the button push?
Yessir-
Go to Settings->Sounds And Notifications -> after selecting the triggger you want (new email, sms, mms, etc.) then untick the box that says 'display on screen' or something like that. Then the noise will sound, light goes amber, and vibrate still work, but wont trigger the screen to turn on in order to display the message. I use this method for emails, but let sms show up on screen so I can read them w/o going into palm messaging app...

Lock slider problem.

Having a problem with my HD2.
Like shown in several movies on youtube, you are suposed to be able to go directly from lock screen to new emails by pushing the slider and sliding over the E-mail notification.
When i have new emails and the screen is locked i see the number on the slider (representing number of new notifications) for about a sec, then the number disapears, and when pushing the slider noting happends, just like there was no new notification.
Also i dont see the appointments on the bottom in lock sreen.
Is there somewhere i must enable this functions or?
Thnx

ow to get Calender alerts to turn on screen?

I have recently got a Samsung Galaxy phone after having a HTC Legend which the Calendar App on Sense when notifying a calender notification turned on screen so you didn't have to unlock screen to see event description and could dismiss it without more clicks.
So can anyone point me in the direction of how to code a notification App which has a popup on screen regardless if screen is off.
eg similar to handcent.

repeat notifications for stock users?

Are there any apps or methods to have notifications repeat on our tabs? It's really annoying to have to turn the tab's screen on just to see if there is a new email or Google talk message. Any apps which turn the screen on like no led for the galaxy s phones or any way to have the sound repeat?

[Q] LED notification bug?

This related to my S4 active, but I'm hoping the S4 is similar in this respect. I get a calendar reminders all day, and I don't dismiss them immediately as I often attend to some of them a bit later.
So for me the LED notification is useful to alert my that a new calendar reminder has gone off, but after I unlock the screen, swipe down the notification bar and select calendar notifications to see the list of notifications, and then lock the screen, I expect the blinking LED to stop, until a new reminder comes along.
Unless I'm losing my memory this has been the case with the S3 and other similar phones I've owned, where if you swipe done and look at the notification then lock the screen, the blinking stops. I tried it with email, and that works, if I just swipe down to see that there's an email notification and without dismissing lock the screen, the blinking stops, so not sure why it doesn't work with the calendar. Any ideas?
I also noticed the blinking is fast for the calendar and slow for gmail, is that on purpose?
Thanks.
