Reminders problem - request for help - General Topics

I have well known problem - not working reminders, especially when I use recurring appointments or tasks. They simply don't wake up device. I've used applications cleaning notification queue like pmClean, Check Notifications and SKTools but today it happened again.
I was also trying alarm applications like SPB Time or CityTime Alarms but with no success. I think it's because they all utilize notification queue.
Maybe there is another program resident in memory, not using notification queue or any really working "notification queue cleaning" application. This is very important for me because I must take my medicines and make glucose measurements many times a day - so I will be very grateful for any help.
My device is HTC Artemis with WM5 (official ROM).
PS. Do you know if this problem exist in WM6 too?
Thanks in advance.

Need a solution to my problem

This is what's happening. I have a training schedule, it's quite intense so I have set several re-occurring appointments in my WM calendar app. Now, I also have some work events which are in my calendar as well. Right now what happens is an alarm goes off and I think it's something from my training schedule, but it's actually an appointment, thus end up missing my appointment. I know there is a simple solution to this: just look at the PDA to see what event it is, but ideally I would like a different alarm for my training and my work appointments so that when it goes off I don't need to look at my PDA but I can just go do my thing.
The question is, pocket calendar lets you set up one alarm for ALL events so what app will do this?

How to set repeat sound for unread SMS?

Is there a way to setup a sound repeating for unread SMS? It seems that this possibility is disabled in the normal setting menu.
Searching for something that will give a reminder say every 10:th minute that there are unread SMS.
Previously had a Samsung where this was possible, badly missing this when switching to the Polaris

Im looking for this too...
Maybe with Mortscript...
Have a look at "Mortscript example accumulation" thread in "Developmente and Hacking" section....
I remember that someone did something similar.....
Thank you for the suggestion. There were some references, but I am unsure how use the information. I had hoped for a simpler approach. After quite some time of reading, still unsure how to get a script running.
Or have a look at PhoneAlarm (www.pocketmax.net).
An excellent tool...
There are various programs that do this ...
SPB phone suite does it too, which is what i use.
Thanks for all suggestions, will check the indicated programs.

Calendar appointments

Hey everyone....
Does anyone know if we can get the calendar app. on the Fuze to show upcoming appointments like a week in advance? Mine will not show the appointments in the calendar tab until the day it happens. I HAVE SEARCHED The FORUMS ALREADY and could no find the answer, so please if you know it I would appreciate it....or If you can please point me to the right thread I would appreciate it as well as I cant find the answer on my own.
Thanks for the help.
many of us have tried to make Touchflo show more appts, however, its not possible at this time. your best option, if you need this, is to disable touchflo, and download some other homescreen app (ie, spb diary, etc)
And while on the subject of the Fuze calendar, I noticed today that appointments without a start/end time (all day appointments) do NOT show up in the monthly view as little icons on the display.
This is REALLY annoying, as I use glancing at the monthly display to determine if I'm available on a given day for work (I'm a freelancer).
Is there a solution, aside from editing all my all day appointments to give them a start and end time?
Is there another, better calendar program that someone can recommend?

I've been using Pocket Informant for a few years and I can't operate without it...
www.pocketinformant.com:)
Thanks for the reply. That looks like a LOT more features than I need, but it's an intersting app.
Can you confirm that an all-day appointment with no set start or end time made on Outlook on the dsktop shows on the Fuze display with pocketinformant?
After further investigation (I'm new to Outlook, having used Palm Desktop for a decade or so), it seems that in Outlook if you enter an all day event, you must also mark the event/day as "BUSY" instead of the default "FREE", and then a "something is happening this day" icon shows up in the Fuze calendar monthly view.

assign it to a (left) softkey
this is something that is still really bothering me, and i know that there are alternatives, but i personally love tf3d, so i was thinking, is it possible to have a calendar tab that shows your next 5-6 appointments? i know that there is a calendar tab floating around, but it just shows you a month calendar. if there was a way to set that tab to show your upcoming appts, that would solve my, and many others as well, problem. thanks

I second that. It would be nice to have a customizable today (TAB) that we could put the today screen or if not possible just appointments.. Hopefully some handy XDA'er is working on it....

[APP] Calendar Events Notifier

Remember when you did not get to that important meeting because you did not hear the reminder that you had planned?
In the real life if you are not near to the phone when a reminder becomes active, you will forgot it and their consequences can be unpredictable.
This app provides recurring reminders to the calendar events and fully solves the issue.
HOW IT WORKS
When a calendar reminder is triggered by the system a message is sent. This app captures the message and starts their work...
With this app you can configure the sound, vibration type and their pattern, led color, repeat interval and much more for the alerts in your Google calendars.
Also you can configure how a reminder stops: when manually stops, when the event starts or when the event ends.
Regular users can configure global settings, that are active for all the calendars, but PRO users can configure these options locally for each calendar.
WEAR
The app is fully compatible with Android wear. You can dismiss/snooze your alerts without removing the phone from the pocket.
Also, you can set the vibration pattern for the wear notifications.
PERMISSIONS
Read & Write calendar: Is the main goal of the app
Receive boot completed: To restart alerts after boot
Vibrate: Required to vibrate
Internet, access network state: Required by Ads and to download the user profile pictures
Billing, get accounts: To manage the PRO key
Read phone state: In order to delay notifications while in call (if configured)

Hi,
The app only shows event instances that has a alarm.
Also, by default the window interval is set to 3 days (you can change it at settings).
Have you any event that has a alarm in this interval?
Thanks
Oh okay. I didn't use alarms... Wanted to use alarms on my smartphone, but not on desktop and so on... What a pitty...
Another question: Did it replaces the native calendar notification/alarm or get I two notifications at the same time (Google Calendar and CEN)?

Sorry, but app is a alert reminder.
useless unless you use them
On Symbian, calendar events reminders weres ALARMS and not just a notification sound. Thank you for bringing this on Android.
Only on suggestion, could you add the possibility to control the service from Tasker ? Point is to be able to disable/enable it from Tasker.
Best regards, Magissia

If you have a particular question I can try to answer it, of course.
Please add an option to choose those events that need to be repeatedly alerted rather than all events..

The app distinguishes between 2 alert types:
1) The calendar calendar-provider alerts, that are triggered by the system. I don't interfere with this alerts until the system activates it and needs to be modified using your preferred calendar app (this app is a calendar notifier, not a full calendar app).
2) The app calendar alerts. A calendar-provider app becomes of this type just when it is activated by the system. To these alerts I apply the calendar specific configurations and I activate recurrently until manually dismissed (or the event starts or ends, depending of your configuration).
In the TO-DO list I have 2 tasks:
a) Ability to set dormancy period for all the days (e.g. at the nights)
b) Ability to set specific dormancy periods (e.g. don't disturb for 2 hours from now)
In the two cases, the alarms will automatic delayed until period end when triggered.
Is this your request?
Thanks (and sorry for my english)

its a pretty cool idea.. my suggestion is can you modify it Event specific..
i have set calender reminders for TV shows and personal events, here i need to be alerted once for those TV shows and even i missed it with the calender alerts it doesn't matter..
But for personal events like Wedding, Birthday Party i can't miss it,where i need the repeated alerts to work..
So the configuration should be like where the user can set what is important and need more attention

Wunderlist

Hello,
I wanted to use Wunderlist as a to-do list application. Though I allowed everything to Wunderlist (not a single battery optimization), I never receive any notifications. I had many mails with the Wunderlist support. Though they were very reactive, they did not find any solutions. Has anyone found a solution? Or does it work properly on your phone?
Thanks in advance
I don't have it installed... But I think its because of the phone's built in heavy optimization of notifications, that's why it's not showing for you. Try to keep on using the app, as the system might stop blocking the app's notifications
