I have been looking deeply into finding some kind of fix or app to allow all reminders/appointments in the calendar to constantly remind until dismissal, just like WM.
Is there anything out there?
"Missed Call" has that feature, however I've never used it because it says it's experimental. You have to disable to original calendar notification, and I believe clear the reminder from the notification bar at the top.
It is a great program though, might be worth you checking out. I use it for repeat reminders of calls, sms etc.
I believe it can be accomplished with Tasker. I"m attempting to get a profile set up for that no. My first attempt is not working like I expect. But I think it is possible.
Try calendar snooze app in the market. The free version I am currently trying is limited, but still very useful.

I have also gotten used to the pesky calendar reminders as a 9 year WM user that recently switched to Android. As a matter of fact I've already missed a few important calls as a result. OP, please let us know if you find anything.

Thanks! I installed a bit ago, and this is quite nice. Can even customize to be different for various calendars.

Hey guys,
I am trying this app as Samsung is apparently never going to update the Captivate to 2.2. and therefor we will never get the newer Gmail app that has font size adjustment, and other new features. Sorry but my eyes are a bit sick of looking at tiny text in the 2.1 Gmail app. So I installed K-9.
K-9 is pretty nice! Very customizable but I have a few questions:
1. There are so many settings in this app. Does anybody know of a good help site for this app? I just want to make sure that it pushes new emails to the device like the Gmail app does. What do I need to do to make sure this happens? It is showing 3 separate Sent folders. Not sure why I have that many.
2. Lots of images in emails are showing up as little blue question marks. (similar to flash sites on Safari on iPhone). What is happening here? These images show up fine on the iPhone Email app.
Thanks guys!
So it is pushing messages to K-9, but when I delete a message from K-9 inbox, the gmail inbox (webmail or Gmail app) does not reflect these changes.
Can anybody explain this behaviour?
Thanks!
I've also noticed that but it doesn't really bother me too much considering how much space Gmail gives me. So I don't really bother to delete anything anyway.
I just like my inboxes to match. Maybe there is some setting I am missing. I really want to keep using K-9 as it is really a pleasure to read email with.
not sure if i am right but pretty sure 2.2 is coming out mid-late Nov (next month)....

Unfortunately the Samsung press release is from Samsung UK, and is a little vague about 2.2 for carriers outside the UK getting 2.2.
I am not holding my breath.

Have you adjusted the following setting correctly?
Menu > Settings > Account Settings > Fetching Mail > "When I delete a message"

Dude, thanks!
Upon some more playing around, I have determined this is really a nice email app and I am shocked it is free. Hopefully it is secure. Amazing how customizable it is.
Do you use it instead of Gmail or Email on your device?

I use it for my non-Gmail email accounts. Really like it. I set it to auto download emails only when Active sync is on my phone which gives me an easy way to control this function without going into settings. I don't like my email to get downloaded while I am sitting at my computer at work, but all other times. Use Tasker then to turn this setting on and off at appropriate times of day and week. Never could get this to work exactly like this in WM. I love Android!!!

Yes, I do. I use it for a work account and a second personal account but keep gmail on it's own app. There are some options that make it very nice for multiple accounts and easy access. Color coding individual accounts, alternating sync times and setting "time of day" sync schedules are just some of them.
I have tried a few email apps now and K-9 slaps them all. I am having trouble finding issues or a lack of options in this free app. Almost doesn't make since. It's worth contributing to for sure.
Can I set appointments to happen weekly and more than one day a week without having to create a new event for each day?
For example if i want to set my class for monday, wednesday, friday at 10 am every week, do i have to make one for each day and set it to weekly? So far that seems to be the only way i can do it which seems odd since even my dumb phones could do more than that.
Can anyone help me?

Try "Gemini Calendar" app on the app store. In the option for repeat appointment, you can choose "By days of week" and then select the days.
Will I be able connect that with my normal calendar? I like the look of it better.
Yes, it works with your normal calendar that you use with calendar app.

When you say they work together do you mean in the sense that if i were to put an event in the gemini calendar it shows up in the android calendar?
I'm looking for a way to incorporate the choosing multiple days function into the normal android calendar. Is there a way to choose or add the gemini calendar in the normal calendar?

I use Gemini calendar as it has a better widget and it allows me to click links for numbers and uRLS. it uses the same database as the stock calendar, so the always see the same data.
You should be able to create anything in Gemini and see it in the stock calendar. It is not its own calendar separate from everything else.
Okay now I Have another question? Is there any way to add multiple calendars the are offline and require no synching? I would like to color code my personal, school, and work but seems like the only way to do that is to other synching account such as exchange or gmail.
I am long time BlackBerry user and have switched over to an Andriod device, but I am really missing my blackberry tasks and memos. I have searched through and tried many different apps, but cannot seem to find android apps that work like the blackberry ones which I am used to. Specifically, I need to be able to set tasks with alarms/reminders like blackberry has. I just don't know!! Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.
I use VCOrganize to sync my notes and tasks with Exchange..
Hi. thanks for the response. Where can I find VCOrganize? I tried Googling it, but found no links.
Are there any other sugggestions from the group? Thanks
The full name is VCOrganizer. It's in the market. If you don't have market access let me know and I'll track down their website.
I'm also a long time Blackberry guy and until I got my DroidX my primary phone was a BB Curve. I loved the memos app--it wasn't exactly the cutting edge of technology but I sure used it alot. I now use Evernote in much the same way.

I have never used VCOrganiser, but I use Jorte which will allow you to create and manage tasks and memos with reminders and alarms. It is mainly a calendar, but has other Pim functionality built-in. I love the different widgets for putting your schedules on the home screen.
since I've upgraded to latest version of tapatalk and use xda mainly on it, when I subscribe to a topic, I get both email and tapatalk app itself notification. I use to just get the apps notification, where do I go to stop this? thank you.

Did you find a solution to this problem. It seems i am also getting notifications from XDA even though i have unchecked the box in my XDA options!
There is a portion in the user control panel at the end which shows the posts you have subscribed for email notification, if unchecking email preferences don't work try removing those.
Hey,
I am interested in seeing if anyone can point me to a reminder app, or tweak that would allow an event to alert a calendar event repeatedly untill dismissed?

+1, this is what I do. I find it more functional than anything else. For important things, I some times set up to 3 reminders.
