[Q] Calendar Event with real alarm - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey it's not a specific N4 problem but anyway...
Isn't it possible to set an event in the google calendar with a real alarm? Not just the notification with its short sound.
I want a long and sharp sound which I have to stop on the phone. But can't find something like that on stock calendar app.
thx

Stopping Those Persistent Notifications

I have paintstakenly set all of my events (including birthdays) to have a notification of NONE. However, the Incredible seems to flash the screen and "loud ping" every 10 minutes to notify me of these events anyway. I have had to resort to running Timeriffic to turn off all sounds until I wake up.
I am wondering if there is a way to get birthdays (which I believe are the problem) to actually NOT notify if you have set them to NOT notify. I dont want to completely disable notifications in case I do have a meeting or something, but this is somewhat ridiculous.
Thanks
None of my events make any sounds if they are not set to notify.
<sigh>
Ummm ... ok ... so from that response I take it that you are unable to answer my question but replied anyway.
If anyone can actually answer it, I would appreciate any suggestions. I suspect that this may be more for events which recur yearly; perhaps those are prone to the problem.
Events can come from many sources, Google calendar, exchange, etc...
In exchange there is no difference between a birthday or any other event, they are just events.
Not sure about Google Calendar.
in addition i was wondering if its possible to make calls a notification so they dont bother me all the t ime when i am playing games. i cant do airplane mode cause i still need data and need to see who is calling but i hate that i have to mute it and then do the task swkitcher and go back to my game, i wish it was just a notifcation or an option for that or an app? anyone know of one?

Google Calender Alarm Clock?

I have a EVO 3D. I use Google Calender. My problem is, when I set an appt on Gcal it lets me set an alert notification but won't let me choose anything other than their short little notifications. I need it to play an alarm or a song so it will wake me up.
Anyone know an app or way to get Gcal to play an alarm so I actually have the option of getting woken up for an appt?

installed and it does not work for google calendar. I noticed it works for other things like choosing a ringtone for sms or calls but not working for calendar. anyone else confirm this or have another idea?
finally answered my own question. Calendar Snooze!

calendar alert/notification sound

Is there a way to have an alarm sound when setting appointments or reminders using the Calender? For some reason I only get a beep or the prelisted alternative one beep sound when I get a Calender notification. I would have preferred a more 'alarm-like' feature. Even the beep is turned off if I decided to put my phone in silent mode. That is stupid. The alarm clock is set to go off even in silent mode why can't the calendar notification do the same? What's the point?
If there is no way to rectify this issue is there another calendar that as the alternative to set an alarm; single or continuous be recommended by someone please?

[Q] Notification Issues.

Hey Everyone!
I'm a long time stalker/researcher of this forum and have usually found my answers on here to the problems I am experiencing. Thanks to all those that contribute to this wonderful resource.
About a week ago I noticed that my phone kept reminding me that I had a calendar event in the notification area. I use google calendar but still use s-planner for the notification portion. Once I have a calendar event in the notification area... my calendar sound notifies me every 1 minute until I snooze it or dismiss it. Has anyone ever heard of this? Previous to a week ago, I would get one notification and then it would sit quiet in the notification area.
I really enjoy the notification/snooze/dismiss area of splanner and it doesn't happen if I turn the notifications off in s-planner and use the google calendar ones.
Thanks in advance!
Bump.

Birthday Notifications from Contacts App

Hey,
I recently updated my Mate 8 to Android 7.
Ever since, I have been receiving Birthday notifications from the Contacts app. These notifications are 1 week early (fine), but I do not see any settings for a way to change or disable these notifications.
I'm hesitant to disable notifications for the Contacts app (through system > app settings), as I'm not sure what effect this will have on missed call notifications, etc.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue, and if anyone knows a solution.
Thanks for any help.
An interesting question!
But I think you should not disable notifications for the Contacts app while you may disable notification for the Calendar app if you don't want to get birthday notification.
As we know, in fact, birthday notification is a Calendar event. You may go to Calendar app, and view the date for birthday of some your contact. There should be an event for the birthday. Is there an event?
Hi James,
Thanks a lot for the reply. I thought it was interesting that the notification came from the Contacts app as well.
I believe the notification is only for contacts that I have assigned birthdays to.
I use DigiCal, and the notification was not from DigiCal. I have now disabled the Calendar app, so I'll see tomorrow if I still get the unusual notifications.
Thanks again.
Hi. Any success with this? I'm having the same issue. Would like to change the notifications to the day of the birthday, but can't find where to do this.
Same Issue
Hello all i am having the same issue with my huawei nova 3i calendar. any solution to this?
Hi folk!!
Same here!! Huawei Mate 20 X.
Any idea?
No notification settings for it into calendar neither contacts
Had another notification the other day.. If I ever found a solution, I can't remember what it was.
Sorry everyone
Sorry for opening this old thread, but I updated my p20 with emui 10, and I'm receiving this birthday reminders 1 week early! I really want to disable this but I look around settings and nothing.
Anyone found the solution?
Thanks for your help
