Is it just me or is the volume sound too low for it and no way to change the tone?
Cant find anything specific for it.
Agreed. I can't find any of the standard options - ringtone/vibrate/ringone+vibrate.
Did you find how to fix this?
I keep missing every reminder. It is VERY low, and NOT a tone that I have set for anything.
Start from home screen

Look in this section and there are places to choose notification tones and also volumes.

That was the first thing I tried, but thanks anyway. I installed Calendar Snooze, which seems to have solved the problem.
As the first couple posts imply, no settings exist for calendar tone or volume in settings.

Any updates on this?
I totally rely on the notification sound in the calendar but it is hopeless.
Any way to replace with a better sound?
(I have changed txt notifications but not calendar)
Cheers
I also wish there was an option so select the settings just for calendar reminders as my old WinMo phone had. Specifically the option to play tone / vibrate even when phone is silent. New to an android device but this thing still knocks winmo out of the water.
Just put it in Vibrate mode.
Is it the setting in?

Ok found it. Sorta.
/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db
In the reminders table is an event tied by event_id to the event in the events table. If you edit the ringtone field corresponding to an event in the reminders table using the full path to the sound file you can change the ringtone for each event.
Two items.had to copy the db, edit the copy and overwrite the old one. I also used an ogg file.

Here is how I manually did it. This is probably best left to people very comfortable with linux/unix. ( I needed to be rooted, have root explorer installed, and SqlLiteEditor )
copy /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar_original_backup.db
copy /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db to /sdcard/calendar.db
open /sdcard/calendar.db
Open Events, scroll around and find the reminder you want., then look all the way to the left column for that line, you will find the event_id field, note the data in that field. Hit back
Open Reminders, find the event_ID from the previous step, tap the line and choose edit. Edit the data in the Ringtone field with the full path to the sound you want to use, i.e. "/sdcard/mysounds/calendar.ogg" (dont type the quotes)
Hit back until you are out of the SQLLiteEditor
copy /sdcard/calendar.db to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db
I am sure someone will build an app for this eventually.
I downloaded Calendar Snooze from the market. It works great for notifications. You can set your ringtone and you can snooze for a set amount of time

A couple questions on Calendar Snooze:
1. Do you have to enable Alarm for each event in order for Calendar Snooze to give a notification?
2. Does Calendar Snooze give notification XX minutes before the event starts?

Yes you need to enable the alarm when you input the calender event the first time. Though there may be something in settings to pre do it. I'll check.
You can set the notification time to anything you like. 1 min, 5min, 30, 2 hours, 2 days... whatever. And when you snooze it you can set how long the snooze is for, and change it on the fly.
Can also change the reminder sound to anything you want.
@scott2ride Thanks for answering my questions. I usually add events through Google Calendar on computer, so haven't figured out how to enable reminders on phone without manually changing each one individually, which is kind of annoying. I was hoping that Calendar Snooze had a default reminder for all events.
If you go to caledar, settings, reminder settings, select ringtone, you can at least change the tone. There are apparently issues with which calendar you have selected at the time and so forth, this doesn't seem to work smoothly yet. But it is a start. See this for more

I need some help. I installed PhoneAlarm about a week ago and ever since, I've noticed that whenever I go into the PhoneAlarm settings (to do anything), after I get out, my settings in my WM6 Notifications and Alarms gets messed up. For example, the sound that I have set in my WM6 notifications for my morning alarms gets messed up.
Any ideas? I'm probably overlooking something very simple but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I see that, but I can't seem to select the sound I want for my clock alarms, only generic "Notifications" in PhoneAlarm. That's my dilemma. I want to use different sounds for notifications and clock alarms.
Can I do that in PhoneAlarm?
Hi,
No - phoneAlarm groups all reminders together - uncheck "Reminders" on the first tab - and then you can control Appointments, Tasks and Clock via the system settings (but then without repeating alarms)!

Stock Inspire
Using stock e-mail program
If I have unread e-mail messages, the phone will beep with the sound notification every time it checks for mail, until I open the e-mail app. Even if I have not received any new mail, it will beep when it checks for mail until I open the program.
So if I receive a message at 1pm, and it it set to check for mail every 10 minutes, I will receive a sound notification at 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, etc. until I actually open the e-mail app.
Is this normal? Is there a setting I can chage where it will only beep once upon receipt of a new message? I looked thru the settings and couldn't find anything.
Thanks.

Anyone else experiencing this?
This is happening for me too on Gmail.
It is also happening with my txt message. In addition to that, when it plays my txt msg notification, at the very same time it plays my default sound (so it is playing two sounds at the same time).
Are there setting for these that I haven't seen yet?
Thanks.

How do you turn off specific notifications?
I just received my Inspire today and I'm having similar issues.
I've used Windows Mobile and iPhone for years. This is my first Android phone.
Everything is right out of the box with the stock ROM and no additional apps loaded. The only thing I did was setup my Exchange email accounts.
With Windows Mobile and the iPhone I was able to turn off notifications for new emails, but leave it on for text messages and calendar reminders. I receive a large number of emails and I need to have the email notification sound and vibration turned off.
So far I have found where to set your notification sound and where to turn off all notification sounds. I have not figured out how to turn offf just the email notification sound.
Each program has its own notification settings.
Go to mail -> menu - > more - > settings -> notification settings and there you are.
In gmail - menu -> more -> settings -> scroll down to email notifications
Messages - menu -> settings -> received notification

That is one of the big difference in iOS and Android. In Android you use the menu button within the app you are using to set the specific settings for that app. In iOS you go to the settings area to change setting for all of the apps. It took me a while to get used to when I made the switch last year. I got used to it and now it just makes sense to change settings within the program, not have to leave the program and do it somewhere else.
I never want to receive an email notification for a calendar event. I hate getting 2 notifications for the same thing (I always set a popup). I am assuming that this is a default Android action as it happens on both my Tab and my Blade.
Anyone know how to turn off this default setting? Or change it to popup? I've looked everywhere I can think of.

I think you need to go to web Google Calendar and set the default 'Notifications' options in the settings of the calendar in question. There are options to set it to pop-up and/or e-mail and/or sms. You can also control how updates in events are handled.

Touchdown actually does not sync anything to the device.
since this app read local synced events it can't read Touchdown settings or data (events for that matter).
If you wish to use Exchange calendar you can always sync your exchange account to the device using ActiveSync like this
settings -> accounts and sync -> add account -> Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
once you synced you device this app will be able to read Exchange calendar.
anyway thanks for the advice and ill try to add support for remote Exchange
update:
i added an "add new calendar account " button in settings for those who don't have their account configured
I bought the full version but just can't get it to work.
I went to "Events list" and pressed menu > Update from calendar, and I can see all my events in the list. But it just says "will schedule - event".
Then I go to the "Filters list" and see "all. schedule", yet my phone does not go silent when my events start.
The on/off button is very confusing. When the button is red and says "off", does it mean that it is off, or that I should press it if I wish to turn it off?
Thanks!

Hi.
the on/off button indicate the current state, meaning when the button is green and it's say "on" that mean that auto schedule is enabled
"all schedule" is the default filter that indicate that all events will be scheduled.
please pay attention that even event will be scheduled automatically only if the on/off button is in "on" state.
Pay attention that Calendar Silencer will not schedule events that already in progress, for example if you have event that start in 12:00 and you started the auto schedule in 12:05 the event will not be schedule.
if you enabled notifications please notice that the notification will disappear once the event has started, pressing the notification will clear the notification but also will cancel the alarm
let me know if have any more problems
Still nothing.

I cant compare these competing apps you are talking about because i don't know exactly what apps are you talking about .
I can answer you this:
before i wrote this app i looked in the market for something that will fulfill these requirements:
easy to use
work with synced calendars like exchange or Gmail calendar
will have to option to fire and forget
i downloaded several apps including paid ones and I couldn't find what i was looking for.
the ones that was simple couldn't work with synced calendars.
and those who could work with synced calendars were overkill ( profile apps that could do almost anything ) were to complicated to operate and demanded a lot of configurations and frustration.
So I decided to do my best to fulfill the goals i wrote to myself and try to keep it as simple as possible .
Because I cant look at every tool/app that exist in the market there may be an app out there that does serve the same functionality , but odds are that it either not do exactly the same or is a lot more complicated then this one.

Swarly

i've been using tasker but recently i starder cleaning my app list and noticed that i was using a mighty appp like tasker for just silencing the phoe when i was "busy" in my calendar.
i found your app which probably does what i want but i got intro trouble with it. i get an error when i try to turn it on (error during level 2) and the app crashes when i want to switch to the events tab (second tab).
also i haven't been able to test the filter option: i just want my phone to go silent when o am "busy" in the calendar - that's it. does the filter option allow for such a setup?

hi
Unfortunately busy mode is not yet supported in this app but its a good idea i will add asap.
please check the program version I'm updating and fixing bug almost on daily basis.
the current program version is 1.2.24
additionally if you can please report the problem using the report error button so i can have an idea about where to start looking for problems
about the error please let me know what kind of device you have
finally I started my semester and once the courses started i found some bugs and problems with my app
* fixed bug for overlapping event
* fixed bug with contact exception functionality
* minor bugs regarding event scheduling were fixed
I'll publish another big update soon that will be focused on performance.
as promised I released big update
major Performance update - from now list load faster and scroll much smother
overlaping event detection method was changed from the core from now no more false detection that caused problems
added warings to warn users that don't have calendars installed
as always I"m open to new suggestions and improvement ideas
[Rooted UCLB3 with Zen's Infusion A kernel, voodoo sound installed]
1 - When I go to Settings / Sound / Volume I see 4 sliders (Incoming Call Volume, Media Volume, System Volume, Notification Volume).
For 3 of the 4, when I move the slider I hear a sample of the volume as expected.
But for the system volume slider, when I move it I hear nothing at all. Doesn't matter where I move it, all I hear is silence.
2 - I think I haven't been getting any audible notifications for calendar appointments lately.
Is "system volume" used for calendar appointments? For anything else? How do you set the sound associated with system volume (it's different than notification apparently).
How to get it back?

Is there not an "Alarm" volume on your rom?
Calendar appointments may just fall under Notifications for you.
System Volume would be those innate clicks and UI sounds when you click or open things on your phone.
If your Calendar isn't making any sounds, check the settings in your calendar app to see what notification tone you have set for your reminders, and that the notifications and reminders are enabled.
Hopefully that helps!

Aha, so that’s what that system volume for.
With "audible selection" disabled in settings (my original configuration), the slider does nothing.
When I enabled “audible selection” in settings, then that slider produces a click when I move it. That explains why the slider wasn’t doing anything before (audible selections was off).
I had associated this system volume slider "symptom" with lack of calendar alarms since I noticed the slider movement didn't do anything at the time I was investigating my lack of calendar alarms... but that was an incorrect conclusion on my part.

After your post, I just tried a special calendar appointment with alarm set manually and it did work. (stock calendar app). That’s good.
It used to be that all my appointments had alarms occuring 15 minutes ahead, alarms set automatically with no action on my part to set an alarm for individual appointments.
Now it seems like I only get alarm if I manualy set them.
My challenge has now evolved to: how do I get alarms automatically scheduled on my calendar apponitments?
The appointments I’m interested in are ones sent to my work outlook email account. I have an outlook rule which auto-forwards everything to my gmail. When my gmail receives an invite it puts it on my gmail calendar which is sync’d to my android calendar.
It used to be the case that all these appointments sounded an alarm tied to the appointment, 15 minutes ahead. Now nothing happens (unless I set an alarm manually, which I didn't have to before). I almost missed a meeting yesterday as a result.
I checked Android calendar settings, don’t see it in there.
I checked gmail settings. Don’t see it in there. Actually there is an un-used option for gmail to notify me by text message of appointments on my gmail calendar ... but the old calendar notifications didn't come on text message. So I guess I have a solution available (notify of gmail appointments by text), but I'm wondering why it doesn't work the way it used to.
Maybe it is in my outlook calendar settings... I’ll check that next and report back results...
resolved (sort of)
I checked MS outlook settings. There you can set an alarm for individual item but I don’t think there is a default alarm (and even if there were, it’s not logical that it would be relevant to my gmail/android which only knows about the invite, not whether it was accepted in outlook).
I don’t know what changed. To be honest, I don’t remember ever setting up my gmail/phone to provide meeting alarms, it just started happening automatically by itself immediately after I set up the outlook rule to forward all my work emails (including meeting invitations) to my personal gmail account. But after I started getting those meeting notifications on my phone, I did grow to expect that behavior and rely on them.
To restore my meeting notifications on my phone, I have now setup gmail to provide me with SMS 15 minutes before meeting. Should get the job done, and perhaps even a little more reliable than before because I will still get the SMS even for meetings scheduled at the last minute where my phone may not have had chance to sync to my gmail yet.
So, my problem is solved by setting up a different type of notification (sms from gmail calendar). I’m not sure what changed (open to comment if anyone knows), but doesn’t matter other than for general understanding.
Thanks again Ryo for helping me figure out it had nothing to do with system volume.

Yeah, I used to keep the audible selections off all the time, so system volume was pretty useless.

You said you're running a rooted UCLB3? Is that Gingerbread Stock?
JB and ICS have a setting in the Calendar App that lets you decide the default 'reminder' time. (Which can then be tweaked when you create the actual event.)
Gingerbread or Froyo, though... I honestly can't remember too well (it's been too long ago!), but I don't think that option existed there.
I also checked the Google Calendar website settings, and there isn't a default reminder setting there either. =X

Sorry that you had to resort to such a round about method... If you can't find the setting for default reminder time, you could either change your Rom, keep with method you are using, or use a different calendar app. (When I was on Gingerbread, I found that I liked an app called Business Calendar. I'm not sure if it'll work for your needs, so you'll have to give it a try.)
