Hi all,
Have been using Calendar Snooze with Business Calendar for quite some time on ogDroid and recently got HTC Incredible 2. On new phone the calendar alarms/reminders show up as being 24 hours and 10 minutes even though I have Business Calendar set up to.remind me by default at 15 minutes before each event. This seems to happen even when I change settings for notifications in Google calendar online. All I want is a single notification to be fired via Calendar Snooze as all the others are superfluous. Anyone having a similar issue?

what do you mean by : calendar alarms/reminders show up as being 24 hours and 10 minutes
You mean they show as duration 24 hours and 10 min ??
or by default 1 24 hour reminder and 1 10 minute reminder ??
Yeah, it 1 reminder @ 10 minutes and another at 24 hrs. I realize now the one for 10 minutes is the one corresponding to the pop-up alert in Google's calendar , but don't know about the one at 24 hours. I'm going to keep my eye on the latter and see if it causes calendar Snooze to fire. At first it seemed to, but lately calendar snooze seems to be ignoring it (which is a good thing!)

Should not be happening..
Are you sure u just set 1 reminder when making the appointment ?
You could try to reinstall calendar snooze...
let me know if you keep having problems..
Greetings , arnold
Thats exactly what was happening to me! I am now using Calengoo and the alarms work perfectly, are snoozable, and never fail me. I recommend it.

OK I searched for this everywhere but found no solid answers so I raised the suggestion at the Microsoft Connect's Mobile Site.
https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=318343&SiteID=502&wa=wsignin1.0
(you may have to sign it using ur hotmail or live id but it's worth it).
To recap what I have posted there:
This is the question/problem most of the users who owns WM device has and I am saying so after doing an extensive research and posting forum questions. Anyways the problem is very simple to explain.
Windows Mobile has an extremely limited set of options for snoozing a reminder: 5 min, 15 min, 1 hr, 1 day, or 5 min before and that is often USELESS!!
Let me give an example: say I have an important dinner meeting Thursday at 6pm. I want a reminder to off a day in advance to remind me to do any prep, make reservations, etc. So, Wed 6 pm the reminder fires off. Now, I don't want to just dismiss it, b/c heck, I might forget over the next 24 hours. What I want to do is be able to snooze the reminder for a specific amount of time -- say 12 hours in this case, so I get reminded the next morning. Or, I might want my next reminder to come 3 hours before the dinner. But with Windows Mobile 5, I can do neither!!! Arrrrggggh. I either have to keep snoozing it for 1 hour at a time (lame), or snooze it till 5 minutes before the dinner (useless).
Here are the options I'd like to see: snooze 5/15/30 min, 1/2/3/4/6/8/12/18 hr, 1/2/3 day, 1/2 week; snooze till 5/15/30 min before, 1/2/3/4/6/8 hours before, 1/2/3 day before.
If not all above then atleast existing ones + 1/2/3/4/6/8/12/18 hr. I know WM has many restrictions due to screen resolutions and thus less options but they can be a part of a sub menu.
To keep the menu clean, you could have the most common choices on the main "snooze" menu, and then the others on a submenu. Of course the choices would be sensitive to the time of the reminder vs the current time, i.e if the dinner is only 24 hours away, then you wouldn't see the 1/2/3 day or 1/2 week options -- not a hard thing to program.
Hope this all makes sense, please let me know if any more information is required. I have used WM 2003 SE device and that had better snoozing options than WM 5, 6 (I use HTC Touch now).

I would really appreciate it if we all can confirm that this problem really exist and give more push to then it will have a better chance to get to some resolution than using third party solutions.
Not pushing it but seems like no one is interested so may I ask if there is an alternative solution?
I, for one, am very interested. This is the only major gripe I have about the calendar application within WM - probably the most annoying day-to-day shortcoming of the OS. I would love a fix.
I second this. I want a 30 minute sonooze! It is also one of my biggest gripes that we cant define our own snooze times without a 3rd party application.
Me too
Me too, anyone can help us ?

Well more the more ppl sign over to the issue I raised the more attention it gets to be fixed.
Me too. I want "30 minutes snooze". I was googleing for 1 hour and nothing...

Generally happy with the snooze options. A 30min would be a useful addition though.
I agree. I think 30min snooze is a must
Want More Snooze Options
One should be able to set most any snooze for each item as necessary. AT the very minimum there should be a 30 mintue snooze in the pulldown. A 10 minutes snooze should also be available. All the options mentioned by the original poster would be great
what u need is SPB Time, there is a snooze for 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes!
I have been griping about this since 2002
Yes!!!!! Give us an applet with check boxes and give us a full-screen-height menu for our choices. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me.
I dunno, I guess I don't think any menu should be static. Our chairs fit us, for criminy. James Kendrick at JKOnTheRun has the idea, but maybe adding a good dollop of manual settings to override his, uh, concept, might be the way to go.
The days of "sorry, this is all we've got to offer. We can't do it your way." for PIMs is pretty much done.This really is one last creepy little annoyance we can't get rid of. It feels like Windows 3.0.
Again, if they want their gadgets to sell, at least they could let us hack!
BTW, Spb Time doesn't snooze PIM reminders. There are hundreds of apps that snooze, but only internally. MortPlayer I think is my fav lately.
SPB is not an option for me

I think SPB may work out for some, but I sync with my Outlook events. I do not want to have to enter my reminders in on my PC and my mobile device.
Also, I am perplexed by the users that are looking for more options between 15 min and 1 hour. This seems trivial to the real problem which is the gap between 1 hour and 1 day. If you need 30 mins, set for 15 and you have ONE extra event. Yeah, it is not clean, BUT those of us who need 8 or 12 hours would have to do 1 extra reminder per hour until our goal was reached.
why cant they make it so it says something like this..
Snooze 5 mins blah blah etc..
Set: 00:00
^^where you input the period of time like 01:00 for an hour 12:00 for 12.. 13:30 for 13 hours 30 mins, etc...
Any Solution

Which 3rd party application??
I have given up looking for any answer from Microsoft and spend my time looking for a third party solution - WITHOUT success.
I have just tried Pocket Informant again because someone somewhere suggested this offered a customizable snooze - but I cannot get it to do it, although it does make a nice calendar.
As mentioned above it is snooze for outlook calendar appointments that I want to snooze somewhere between 1 hour and 1 day. I cannot believe that they have changed this in 6.1 (added 5 mins before) and still not given us the functionality we had with ppc2003!
Please someone tell me a 3rd party application to sort this.
I second your frustration. It's very crap to have nothing between 1 hour and 1 day. I am often snoozing reminders for hours, which is hell annoying.
The other day I was searching about it and found, in a topic i can't find anymore, a guy complaing that the ROM he flashed showed '15 MIN.' snooze time twice.
Another guy aswered him saying that this was a mistake made by the chef.
From that information, I assume someone CAN change the snooze times shown in that dialog box (not sure about extending it).
It would be very helpful if we could at least chance the values already there. Anyone knows if it's really possible.
For me, the snooze time I miss de most is 4 hours. That is very helpful for me because most of my alarms sound at the beggining of work hours, and if I could just snooze then to 4 hours ahead (problaby lauch hour or post work) it would be awsome.
Snoozing 10, 15 appointmants and taks every single hours is really getting on my nerves.
I thing that for everyone happy, snooze times of 30 min 4h 8h and 12h should be fine
another four voices
for me, and three my friends, this is major problem. thanx for any advise or help
No one? I think nobody knows about this
Hello,
I have two questions:
On 2003SE reminders had the option to remind in 2 or 8 hours - in WM6 these options are gone - is there a tweak or a registry hack to change that?
On 2003 all day dates with reminders would come up at 8 in the morning - now they ring at midnight - is there a way to change that?
Andreas
Hi bro,
Not sure what u mean? For a reminder to a calender appointment, I can set the reminder to be so many weeks, days, hours or minutes, it couldnt be more flexible??? Cant you do that?
2003SE omg, those were the days
What device and rom are you using, would help to understand.
Hi,
I have a Eten Glofiish X800, the OS is 5.2.1620.3 AKU .0.4.2
To clarify my questions:
1. I can set reminders at any time I want, but when I enter an all day event in the calendar and set it to alarm the reminder goes off at midnight. In the 2003SE it went off at 8:00 in the morning which is a lot more convenint. Now I would like to change that on the new device.
2. When a reminder goes off I can tell it to reappear in 5 minutes, in 15 minutes, in 30 minutes, in 1 hour and in 1 day. I used to have more options like 2 and 8 hours. Can I somehow change that?

Hi again, my all day appoints allow me to set reminder for the same time periods that it to say anything i want. Im not familiar with glofiish, is that a standard or cooked rom?
As for reminder (sleep) im afraid your stuck with the presets, unless you use a different clock/alarm app........
Hi Friends,
While HTC EVO 3D fellows looking for tips how to increase battery time here in the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141221
I decided and checked my own LG-3D P920 . here are results (after 100% charged with adopter.)
Before test , i made sure followings
1 - 2G Data set to enabled all times
2 - GMail Sync Set and receives and send emails As soon as arrive
3 - Facebook account set
4 - Hotmail Account set to sync as push mail.
so all above done to use 2G non-stop. Now what I did with phone during test time
Made 30 minutes phone calls
15 SMS Received
10 SMS Sent
30 Minutes browsing & email reading
05 3D pictures captured
02 2D pictures captured
Viewing the pictures new and older ones- 10 minutes
Watched 10 minutes 3D pre-installed clips at phone
Played with phone ,like phone settings , check battery status several times - 10 minutes
Now phone is still alive after 65 hrs. still 8% battery remaining but going to charge to avoid any problem.
So what you think now, which worth more ? white elephant or black horse ???
Please don't forget to share your experience with Battery Time.
8% left after 65 hours is not so bad. I get two or maybe two and a half days and I don't take much photos, send/receive SMS or watch 3D content.
The only thing my LG is doing at the moment is syncing gmail, calendar and contacts as well as hotmail push. But over 3G, not 2G. Right now it's at 57% after 20 hours.
I'm using TiaiZO3D 1.5.1 and I removed the stock LG Home completely and replaced it with ADW Launcher. That seems to reduce battery usage a little bit (at least in Standby).
I never use WiFi and GPS only rarely. Screen is set to Auto Brightness.
65 hours its nice, i have this phone like 5 days now and my battery no longer last 16-20 hours with mid use. im gonna check the link and post my results.

Please let us know your final result..
btw , i dont want to take risk to install customized stuff at 1 week older phone...
I think , Launcher pro will increase the battery time but I wanted to test with default.
One thing i noticed:
In my Battery Usage statistics there used to be that entry "Android System" always hangin around 70%
Since I removed the LG Home Launcher for good and started using ADW Launcher, Android System floats around 10%
And I really have the impression that battery life increased slightly by switching launchers.
On 10k my android system is around 5% before it was in the high 70's.
Really basic question! Is the HTC email app or the standard yellow AOSP one better for battery life?
HTC mail in my opinion bcos it had peak and non peak period mail checking preferences which you can set how many days in a week and plus define your own timing of peak period. It also let you select minutes and hourly intervals.
The yellow one that you refers to I believe allows only hourly intervals without options to set peak periods preference. Currently I'm on ics senseless 2.10 and the yellow mail have maximum of 1hour intervals,that's it. So to summarise and answer your question, in my opinion is htc mail.

Thanks for your thoughts. Do you happen to have any specific/detailed information about how much drain each app uses? I am just curious which app is more efficient before using the filters you just mentioned.
Cant be that quite detail as from my setup with htc mail would be like peak hour: set from 8am-5pm @30mins interval. So after the peak hour i set it to 3hrs interval. if using the yellow mail, just imagine at every 1hr intervals of checks being performed. Hope you get the idea.
Edit: If email within the office hours is important then yes, you can double the frequency or else you can set at 2hrs or more intervals.

Makes sense.
I put a quick note on the day say 10. It shows the message and time on the lock screen from day 9 onwards. Is there an option or something I can set that it displays the message in the lock screen on the same day only or just before 5 or 10 hours from the starting of the appointment??
Short of putting another event 5 hours earlier, I don't know of a way. Is there a particular ue case where this behavior is a problem?
Not really, just that each day I can see for today only and if want to see for tomorrow,can see in the calendar.
