I find some alatm/clock but it is so complicate with many options or they dont have option that I need.
Alarm/reminder need to be simple and have options to repeat alarm (yearly,month,weekly...), and auto repeat alert when is not see and off alarm.
And need to have list of all appointments.
thanks.
ptravelalarm is the one i've been using for a few years now
Moved as not software release.
I just want a reminder thing that actually reminds me. Any suggestions? The installed calendar fails miserably in this respect. I added Calendar Event to the phone, and that doesn't fit the bill either. I downloaded COL reminder, but it seems I need to load them all into the program, instead of it reading my calendar reminders. My WM6.1 phone did just fine with this; add an appointment or reminder, even make it repeat every other day, and it actually reminded me! At the selected time! Even Palm had this figured out.
I have tried setting different ring tones, setting it to vibrate all the time, setting test reminders between 2-30 minutes from when I type in the reminder. No consistent success. I have a cyclic reminder set for 0755 every morning to show me a Bible verse. I get pretty task saturated by then, so it's a good opportunity to stop and breathe. However, I don't see the reminder until hours later, usually when a second reminder for the day has popped up. What gives? Has anyone tried Nudnik?
Annoying isn't it? It's another one of those things that any Nokia brick from ten years ago did better. Makes you wonder if we're going forward or backwards.
isn't android already have an alarm in the clock application??

Hello @ all,
I have often problems with reminders, too, as posted by others before. When phone is resetted, the reminders drive me to hell. I tried check notification, but I am not able to get this again workin normal...
Check notification seems not to work properly, or probably I am doing something wrong... When I hit in the options delete duplicate reminders, nothing happens. When I then hit "clear", all my reminders are deleted...
But now, I have another issue: Reminders are not stoppable because there does not appear the info where i can dismiss it...
It's very poor for MS, that this problem exists since OS 2003 and seems to be still in WM6...
Hope that someon has some hitns for me...
the best solution is memmaid (www.dinarsoft.com), but it's not free
Hi zoki!
Thanks for your answer. That too is new to me... I'll give it a try, there's a 15 das limited trial available...

I'll second Memmaid. This tool is great for cleaning stuff up (bad notifications, bad links, etc).
I installed it and had a look on it...
In the notification queue I see hundreds of reminders. Its OK, I am using my calendar very intensive...
So, I searched for duplicated items (is that really the problem for my issue?!). Found two, deleted them, restarted my nice phone, and again: my phone reminds me for i dont know, 5 to 10 notifications at one time. sounds nice, when two rings are ringing at one time but it nerves...
what can I do to solve my probelm with this tool?!
so, I have many items there:
calendar.exe
clock.exe (more than three!). I think that there's the problem?! I would say only three should be there...?!
for following items i have no clue what they are,...
tmail.exe
calupd.exe
sqmevent.exe
enrollnot.exe
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT:0x0
clocknot.exe
repllog.exe
calnot.exe
Reminders problem
OK, I don't use reminders, but try this: Turn off notifications before resetting your device. I don't remember if there is a setting in the calendar program for this, as I use pocket informant, but probably there is. Then, after resetting, turn them back on. This might at least stop it reminding you about past events. If this doesn't work, you can try turning them off in the "Sounds and Notifications" program in the Settings folder. Then turn them back on after resetting.
Good luck,
I don't think this will solve dbsoundz's problems. I had the same thing yesterday morning, my alarm woke me up on the normal programmed time, but there's no button to dismiss it. Even switching of the alarm doesn't work, it keeps up going. Only by hard-reset I was able to solve this.
Thanks for discussion...
what have I done: I deleted all the items with "clock.exe". After that, my phone was not again ringing wild on phone startup . So far so good.
But:
the problem with the missing notification of reminders still exists
hm... it still rings once on startup. but the ringtone is another then edited in the sound settings under "reminders"... but thank god, no ringing orchestra any more... and still w/o "dismiss"-notification
It sounds to me like a time zone problem! Try going to a different time zone let it chnage and then wait a couple of secs and chnage back!
Hi funman,
thanks for your reply.
I tried your suggestion. but it didn't help. Same problems as before. I was also sceptical about that, because I don't think that there's the problem. As described, the phone makes still a ring orchestra at start up and the reminders are totally different from settings in the sounds/notification settings... very strange. And there's still no notification baloon where I could "dismiss" it...
Grrr...this is not the same ol' missing reminder problem. at this point, i almost WISH i had that problem.
issue #1 (ongoing) - how do i disable the repeating calendar reminders? the phone chirps and chirps and chirps every 20-30 seconds until i press dismiss. i could have sworn i found a reg key on WM 6.0 that disabled this, but i came up empty when searching again today.
and now issue #2 which i ran into today. with the phone on VIBRATE because i was going someplace important for a meeting, the calendar reminders are still $^#&@*@$#$ audible!! WTF!! reminder and notification are both set to vibrate in the profile, with a volume of zero. then why the $^%#@* are they still being played??
if anyone can help, you'll save my sanity...or at least save my Blackjack from being hurled into traffic.
The first one is just what windows does... I've never been bothered to disable it though...
The second one I've never had. Couple of things to try:
soft reset
hard reset
reflash of ROM
Failing all of those, I know someone that would happily let there pockets get in the way of your blackjacks trip to the road!
im new to the touch pro seen since i have switched to the iphone from a polaris and tilt. i was wondering if there are any repeat alerts on the fuse for missed calls, vm, sms? i know that on the polaris and tilt, treo alerts along with mortscript worked...on the fuse i cant seem to get it to work...has anyone made a hack or cab for repeat alerts on the fuse...thanks in advanced...
yea ive been looking for repeat alerts for my SMS Tone, but when we go into settings, the BOX to check in "repeat alert" is Greyed out, so we can choose it
is this still unresolved?!
I use Best Reminder, mself.
Works a treat.
Thanks!! I will try that
for the record, I tried "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" but it didnt work on my fuze. The damn "repeat" check box in sounds & notifications remains grayed out and disabled.
It sounds like best reminder will do the trick for me, thanks
damnit, that one also doesnt meet my needs.
I need a repeating alarm for REMINDERs, i.e. tasks with alarms.
None of these seem to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRrrrrrrr
to top off my anger, "Best Reminder" doesnt have any method to uninstall it!!!!!!

Try Spb Pocket Plus.
Here is a quote from a review MobileTechReview did:
Reviewer @ MobileTechReview said:
One of the handiest features in Pocket Plus has to be the repeat alarm function. This fills a silly gap left by Microsoft in Windows Mobile. Not only does Pocket Plus enable repeat alarms, but you can specify any .WAV file to play and set the volume of the alarm independent of the system volume. That’s great for morning wake-up alarms while traveling when the sound may have been muted for meetings. Alarms may even ascend in volume, which is my favorite setting. If I’m in a loud location, the alarm will be heard when the volume reaches near maximum, but if I’m in a quiet area I can catch it early and avoid annoying everyone in earshot. Sweet.
Using the Settings tab, repeating alarms may be enabled for the built-in clock and/or for task alarms. You can set a minimum battery level below which the repeated alarm function will be disabled.

I hope this works for you!

Spb Phone Suite has to be one of the most awesome phone apps out there. I swear by it, m'self.
I don't use it any more because I use TouchFlo and don't want to bloat my device but for anybody that has disabled TouchFlo, the question is: why AREN'T you using Spb Phone Suite???
I agree with the previous post. I love SPB Phone suit and the features are out weight using the TF3D.
Anyway if you want the repeat download the a cab called "Notification Repeat Enable.cab" it will allow you to check the repeat Notification box. I tested and it works on my Att Fuze with HTC WWE Rom
I didn't know about a cab for this but I used the instructions Here and got what I needed. Worked fine for me.
Hi, owned my Gear S3 for about 5 months now and it is awesome.
Just one issue though;
I have Outlook installed on my phone for work purposes and meeting reminders come up on the watch, usually 15 minutes before the meeting (obviously to give me time to prepare / get to the meeting room etc), which is great, but even if I dismiss it and clear all notifications from the watch, it still comes up every single minute. So that's 15 reminders before the meeting, which is becoming very irritating.
The only way to get rid of it, is to select "Open on phone", which works, but then my phone screen is on and whilst it is in my pocket (as I am driving a lot), becomes very hot!
If I dismiss it from my phone, then it's fine, but very often I am out and about in my car so the phone cannot be used.
Is there anyone else who has this and has a potential workaround?
Many thanks in advance
Mark
Hi Mark,
I have the same issue using a Redmi 4x and a Gear S3 watch. Its very annoying and I have not found a workaround yet.
However, when I get the Outlook notification on my watch, I click the 3 dots on the right hand side of its screen and select the trash can. This deletes the Outlook notification and the phone stops nagging every minute.
Hope this works for you.

Hi... I think this is an Outlook app issue and not a watch issue. I have had the same issue with a Garmin as well as a Huawei and now the S3.
I've noticed that, when I pick reminders on some programs, sometimes it chooses 2 options. So check your reminder and make sure you only have 15 mins selected. Maybe it's firing off on some button you missed when you set it up. Since I retired I don't use Outlook at all so I'm not that familiar anymore.
Hi all, I've just upgraded from a Oneplus 8 pro to the S22 ultra, and happy with everything apart from the fact that calendar reminder notifications now disappear once the event has ended. So if I have a ckaednsr event from 8 to 8:30, and a reminder set to go off 15 mins before, the reminder will pop up as planned, but will disappear after 8:30.
That's a problem for me and I often have multiple reminder and don't get a chance to check them until later when I'm catching up on some events, except now the reminders are gone.
I never had this issue before with mostly oneplus phones for several years.
I'm using the Business Calendar app (now called PractiCal Schedule Planner. I thought maybe it's an app issue, but from searching online it seems this behaviour is now standard? Anything I can do to ensure the reminder notifications stay visible until I dismiss them?
Cheers
I have no idea how to fix it, but if you figure something out please reply here so I can get notified. I'm running into the same issue and it drives me crazy.
Haven't found a solution unfortunately, and a bit surprised that it doesn't seem to be an issue for many. Suggestions range from using a reminder app, or tasks, trying to use another calendar app and muting the stock app (didn't work for me),... Nothing sorted it
I just downloaded and purchased the "Recent Notifications" app.
I excluded all apps except the calendar app so now at least I can find all of my calendar reminders that have fired off in one place. It includes a 4x3 widget which is just waaaay too big to be useful,in my opinion, but I just click into the app to view them.
My S10 didnt have this issue, and why does my Secure Folder always want to open up every time I start my car? Why does my wifi say it isn't connected to the internet and the only fix is to turn off wifi and back on? And why doesn't my music autoplay in my car anymore? If the phone didnt have such a nice camera then I'd seriously think about switching back. Too many annoyances that didnt used to be annoyances.

No need for an additional app. There is a simple solution. Go to notifications...advanced settings...notification history....and turn it on...It keeps record of all notifications....even calendar events/meetings... I use outlook and had a meeting 1 day ago and the notification is still in the history, just had to scroll down to the meeting notification...It divides it into recent notifications and then a bit further down it divides it per app
