[Q] Calendar Alarm/Notification Help

Used the search feature to no avail. The stock calendar app is not honoring any of my alarms/reminders setup in my Google calendar. I installed Gemini, and turned on the Notifications, but it tells me to disable any other notifications. Problem is, I can't find an option to do that anywhere.
Long story short, if anyone knows of ANY calendar app for the Fascinate that will honor alarms/reminders, please let me know. I am in desperate need of one.
TIA!

I have been using Jorte and it seems to work just fine - but I don't have a lot of Google calendar notifications so I'm not sure about that part. But its free in the market so it can't hurt to try

[Q] Loss of Push Notifications in 4.2.2

Hi. I’m having a problem with my Nexus 7 fetching notifications, and I’m hoping someone might be able to solve the issue... without having to do a reinstall. I may have inadvertently caused the issue myself, but have no idea how and don’t know how to fix it.
To give you some background, I was using my N7 rooted with stock ROM all through 4.2.1, and life was fine. My problems arose when 4.2.2 was released OTA. For some odd reason, the update would download, the tablet would tell me so, but when I would try to install it, the bootloader would lock up in an error. Rebooting and going into settings to force a search for the update would return an “up to date” message even though I was still on 4.2.1. 2-3 days later, the icon would return to tell me that the update was downloaded, but attempting to install would only result in an error.
I finally decided to unroot and relock the device to install the update. Directly after, I rerooted it. Of course, one of the main reasons I keep root is to use a backup service, and I ran Titanium to reload my apps and settings. A while after, I noticed that my phone would ring to notify me of incoming texts, Facebook updates, emails and such, but my tab, which I often looked forward to mildly annoying me with an echoing chime, would not. Once I log in to an app, it will then suddenly deliver me whatever notifications have been awaiting, but that kind of defeats the purpose. I’ve also noticed that the WiFi icon, which was normally blue 95% of the time is not consistently gray. It NEVER turns blue any more. I’m not quite sure what that means, but I’m almost certain it is somehow related.
In doing some research to fix the problem, I discovered an app that adjusts how often it pings for notifications. I was hoping that, somewhere in the midst of the update and my reinstalling old data, I’d deleted or overwritten this “Heartbeat”, and that the app would fix it, but it sadly has not.
Anyone have any idea what I’ve done and how to solve this problem?

Might be a problem with your account configured on the Nexus. I had a similar problem when I was playing around with framework-res.apk One time I didn't put the right signature and so my account was only 'half' stable, I.e. the account was there, but no syncing. I found out when starting the play store, there I was asked for my account ...
After inserting and reconfiguring mail / calendar / ... everything works fine now.

I tried deleting the data from the Google Play Store and Google Play Services apps. Had done the same with Google Voice earlier. Nothing changed. What do I need to do to "put the right signature"?

[Q] Email app notifications disappear 50% of the time?

I have my Email app setup and I'm not using the gmail app. I get emails and it vibrates and makes a sound, the notification will show in the notification bar for 1-2 seconds max then will disappear. This happens allot but not all of the time. I have notifications enabled for my 4 accounts, like I said it shows sometimes and not for specific accounts.

This is a continuation of a thread I saw in T-Mobile. I am having this issue as well and I wish there was a fix!

Guess no one else has this issue?

Alrighty, Stu,...
We played this game regarding the forced closed Email app,...I'm going to wait and see what you find out regarding the email notification disappearing instead of trying to figure it out myself and realize you already found out the cause AFTER I spent the time figuring it out on my own,...
Won't fool me twice, sir!!

Nimitch the ball is in your court. I have no idea why the damn notifications show then disappear. Please figure it out and let me know. I am stumped!

same here on dissapearing

Anyone have any idea in how to solve this? This is driving me crazy

Yeah I have this issue also. Though it was just me.

I have the issue also. I installed the email and exchange apk's from the 4.4 dump and everything seems to be working well. Maybe it is just an issue with the Samsung email app. I would revert back if it gets fixed as I liked the Samsung app.

I dont know but this is absolutely driving me crazy.

Had the same problem with Samsung app, I think it was happening when you were getting mail on one account and new mail was coming to another. I switched to 4.4 and uninstalled the original samsung one. I love how every account in 4.4 has a separate notification area. I wish it had an option to disable multiple message stacking though.

Facebook Error - Try single sign-on again

Hi all,
Just setting up my new Note 4 and have come accross this issue.
The error occurs when I go into Settings, accounts, facebook and select Sync with your device. As such I am unable to sync my Calendar information with the S Calendar app.
When trying to perform the sync I receive "Unable to single sign on (SSO) to Facebook at this time" message.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

I am having exactly the same problem. Any help will be very appreciated!

Must be down or something. I'm using a galaxy s5 and it was working fine up till yesterday morning when I started to get this same error. Hmm.

Same problem here. Single sign on won;t work for facebook.
Contacs also keeps crushing the last week.
Lolipop is a real mess...

ALso in kitkat says , but with the next update on facebook this message will be gone

I don't think it's a facebook error. Twitter is also unable to SSO with the galaxy app. I am pretty sure it's a Lolipop bug.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the 5.0 lollipop update considering the update isn't available in my stress yet. When there's a new update about to hit, most phones in general start to do the same or something similar. I also have a Note 4 and my bf has a Note 3. I also work on devices frequently. At this point it will continue to be an issue. If you have the Facebook app then you're fine anyway. Just continue checking for further updates. Remember to shut down your device daily for 30 seconds to 1 minute (it's very similar to a computer).

.+1.Me too having the same problem with Facebook since friday. I'm on kitkat with my canadian N4.. I think thst is the Faceboom servers the problem.

Does twitter work? Cause I have iasues with single sign on and twitter also.

I'm also having the same problem since Thursday or Friday, Verizon note 4.. kk.. no other apps having the problem yet. . Very annoying. . .miss not being able ru sync calendar, and photos. ..

I thought it was just me.
I've only just received my Note 4 (Europe) and have the same problem. In my case it all works fine on my old Note 2 and Note 2014 Tablet but not on the Note 4. All my devices have Kit Kat as well.
I hope someone finds a solution as I want to sync my facebook calendar into the S Planner. At present I am keeping my old Note 2 alive for this purpose.

Is this only on Galaxy Devices
I too have this problem on my new S5. My Note 10.1 2014 is still working fine but SSO on the Galaxy S5 just wont work. I have done a factory Reset and still no success. I spoke with samsung which was a total waste of time. Cant wait for someone to find a solution to this.

fix
I to have the note 4 and I completely unistalled Facebook app and forced stop on calender. Reinstalled Facebook app not opening and went back to calender and added new account clicked on Facebook account then signed in. Hope this helps works great now and Facebook is sync with Google calendar.

Hi -how did you uninstall facebook ? It's part of the standard ROM on my Note 4 so I cannot remove it ? Thanks.

Update SNS
The cause is an outdated Samsung SNS provider. After updating it to the latest version in Galaxy Apps, it will work.

Did anyone find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue on my galaxy s4.

Android MS Outlook notifications stopped showing up on Wear.

I've been using Outlook on my Galaxy S5 for a while now and was getting email notification on my watch (Moto 360 2nd gen) without difficult. Then I just stopped getting email notifications. I appear to still be getting calendar notifications, but not email.
I did two things around the time when the notifications stopped:
1.) Installed an app on my phone create extra vibrations on the watch when notifications were received (Feel the Wear).
2.) Setup the default sammy calendar to sync with my work's Exchange calendar so I could get calendar info in WatchMaker.
To trouble shoot I've tried:
a.) Uninstalling the app listed above and removing the calendar sync setup.
b.) Uninstalling and re-installing MS Outlook
c.) Verifying that Outlook is not listed as a block/ignore app in Android Wear
d.) Forgetting and reconnecting my watch
e.) Verified that I'm getting outlook notifications properly on my phone.
f.) Searching google and xda... couldn't find anything, but I'll admit I didn't do a super huge search here in xda.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm working around this right now by using eNotify, but I hate to use additional programs to do something that I should be able to do without them.

I have the same issue. About 2 days ago Outlook stopped sending notifications to my watch (LG Watch Urbane). I still get them on my phone, but they do not get sent to the watch.
I do not have Feel the Wear and I have not made any recent changes to how my phone syncs anything. I have also tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything and confirming that Outlook is not on the notification block list. I updated the Outlook app from the Play Store today, but still no joy.

I've tried even doing a factory reset on the watch, and this has only led to bigger problems. Now ALL notifications are being super temperamental for me.

Same problem here. I'm glad to see someone else is experiencing it. I've found nothing helpful on google about it.

This link here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-wear/KV62Rs3fZHs;context-place=topicsearchin/android-wear/notifications$20stopped
is saying that it's a Microsoft issue. Can't verify that info, but it does seem consistent with the fact that we all seem to have noticed it stopped right around the same time and it's only MS Outlook that did it.

Same thing here on my Huawei Watch. My workaround was to restart notifications from the stock email app, so at least I won't miss anything. If it's fixed and I start getting double notifications I'll turn them off on the stock app again.

Pull down previous version from apk mirror and give it a shot.

Reviving a bit of an old thread here, but I finally got around to trying out this suggestion and it works. I pulled version: 2.0.17 (106) and installed it. I'm getting notifications on my watch again.
Current version is 2.0.36, which was just released yesterday it seems. I tested all versions on APKMirror between 2.0.17 and the newest and 2.0.17 seems to be the last version that will send notifications to Android Wear.

Where I can get the 2.0.17 version?
Thanks

Make sure, if you do this, that you disable automatic updates in Google Play Store app. Otherwise it'll just try to overwrite outlook with the newer version automatically.

I believe I did submit a report, but I'll do it again just to make sure.

On a side note, after trying a BUNCH of different programs, here's what I finally settled on:
I'm using the newest version of MS Outlet. This obviously doesn't get notifications to my watch, so I'm running AquaMail and using the imap interface to get push updates from my Exchange Server. AquaMail did the best job in terms of speed and notification type, at least for me.
Others I tried:
Cloud Magic: Speed is decent, but I only saw the first notification on my watch. Subsequent notifications never went to watch until notifications on phone were cleared.
BlueMail: This was horrible slow for me. Even 5+ minutes after Outlook or Cloudmagic would see the email Bluemail still hasn't received the message. Not sure on notifications on watch.
Mailwise: Very fast on receiving new email, and the notification showed on the watch for each notification, but after the first one you just get a list of outstanding notifications for Mailwise so you don't get to see the full subject, title or body of the newest notification. Outlook in version 2.0.17 (the last one that sent notifications to the watch) did the same thing.

After pulling 2.0.17 my watch is receiving notifications again. I have also reached out to support with this info. I am running Marshmellow and everything seems to be working fine. Hopefully, they will fix this on their latest release. For now, all Outlook updates are off.
Thanks again!

Thanks for this I thought I was going crazy as I think I just started using Outlook right before that update came and removed the watch notifications.

I noticed this too, I assumed that it was a change to the security policy... it'd be nice to have it work again

Just got this back from Outlook support :
Hello Andrew
Thank you for contacting Outlook Mobile Support. I understand your concern but we no longer support Android Wear. If you would like to address these issues then you will need to contact the retailer! I apologize for this inconvenience.
Warm Regards
The "retailer" you refer to is Google. They support the android wear app and the watches. The issue is that the outlook app is not sending notifications to the Android o/s in a normal manner. Every other app works just fine. Only the outlook app has this problem. The notifications did work until the app was upgraded beyond version 2.0.17. Something changed that broke the notifications at that point. I do hope you will continue to support your app and the android wear community!
Hello Andrew
That is when we stopped support the Android Wear devices. We will support Android Wear when Android Wear advises us to again. We enjoy helping! I apologize for this inconvenience again!
Warm Regards
So they know it's busted but won't fix it unless Google calls them??

That is horrible and typical M$.
It is not free, but touchdown has exchange activesync with push notifications. I am a teacher and it is a huge help with all the email I get.
Alternatively, you could downgrade outlook and not let it update.

Figures. I found it really useful to have work email and calendar notifications sent to my watch as I am not always at my desk. I reported the "bug" and got basically the same response as above. I guess the community will need to come up with another Microsoft work around. Does anyone know of a killer feature or bug that was fixed between 2.0.17 and current? Trying to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
