Hi
I changed to the google calendar from the stock calendar as they seemed to have stripped it down since my s5.
When I set an event reminder it will pop up on my lock screen, will fade then reoccur continuously until I dismiss it by sliding the X to dismiss it.
Others seem to be having the same issue. I have tried turning off notifications, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

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?
I was, like many people getting double SMS notifications, and it started out of the blue. I finally figured out what my issue was, so I hope this helps others out:
I had tried using "Beautiful SMS" from the "Beautiful Widgets - Pack 2" a while back. After a lot of searching and trying numerous "fixes" posted all over Android forums I found that if you use this widget and turn on notifications in it's settings, then remove it from your homescreen, you will still get notifications. Those notifications will not open any SMS programs, and you have to use "Clear" in the notifications drop down to get rid of them. I was also using GoSMS the whole time, which gave me the other notification.
In essence, if you are getting double SMS notifications, check Beautiful SMS, or any other widgets you may have used for SMS, to make sure the notifications in the core part of the widget do not remain turned on.
For Beautiful SMS all I did was long press the Home screen, select Widgets, select Beautiful SMS at which point the settings screen appears. I deselected Vibrate and Show notification, pressed the Home button to back out of the widget, and problem solved.
Hope this helps some others who are going round the twist with this.
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.
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.
Love the samsung calendar for the fact I can dismiss reminders without having to unlock and enter a pin
My main issue is sometimes I leave my phone on my kitchen table and a reminder will go off but I am not present to hear it/see it
The issue is after a few min the LED will no longer blink and no notification is seen showing the calendar entry
Basically is there any way to either keep the notification going or have a repeat reminder for calendar entries that where not dismissed
Anyone? Suggestions?
