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.

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.
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.
On top of my issue with swype I now have another issue & a question.
I used HTC Sync to sync my Outlook contacts to my phone. It seems that my phone has duplicated a bunch of them since then. I started out with 117 contacts & it's now at 285. The phone will just pop up with new contact link suggestions out of nowhere & it'll have 1-5 copies of the same contact trying to link together. It did this even after a hard reset. Any ideas on what is causing this & how to stop it?
Solution: seems to be an issue with HTC Sync & contacts with Notes. See second post for MyPhoneExplorer for better sync.
Also, in my calendar app I've set it to not have a default reminder, yet it automatically puts it at 10 minutes no matter what. WTF?
Lastly, is there an app that'll toggle the Auto-brightness for the phone? I now there are widgets that'll change the intensity, but I'm looking for one that'll toggle just the auto-brightness on/off. Comes in handy when I'm at home or at night & don't want a bright screen.
Solution: Found a fix for the auto-brightness through reddit! Use Brightness Widget
thanks for any/all help
Did some more research & found out that HTC Sync doesn't play well with contacts that have notes attached to them. Switched over to MyPhoneExplorer & it's much better: wifi syncing!

Still can't figure out Calendar or Swype issue though
Regarding your reminder question, that is the default reminder if no reminder is set or for a new event. There are still reminders server-side.

thanks for the info. Guess I'll just have to remember to always deselect that since I don't like reminders.

Are they people that you have called? Under SMS settings there is an option to show entries from the call history. I consider it a bug that it shows a contact entry that you have called while it fetches from contacts and call history.
those were annoying so I disabled call & sent history & just have email addresses show up.

It split up 6 or 7 contacts by breaking off one email address then askedme to link them.

when I did it through HTC Sync it duplicated everything, some more than others
Ya know I had a huge issue with that when I picked up the myTouch 4g. I ended up returning the thing, but the duplicate contacts almost made me throw it at the wall. I was getting 3 - 5 instances. I know the myTouch has tmobile flavor of sense, but it's probably the same issue. I recall being able to fix it by merging all the contacts, but even after doing that I still had to do some manual adjustments. Very frustrating.
I won't have the Sensation in my hands until next week thanks to the retards the T-Mobile store messing up my g2x return, but i'll post on this thread when I get it if this issue occurs for me.

just save yourself the hassle & sync with the MyPhoneExplorer app. with the HTC Sync I'd have duplicate contacts within an hour. It's been about 8-10 now with MPE & no issues.
I had problem with hundreds of duplicate groups and contacts outside of Android and used this to fix it http://scrappydog.com/GoogleGroupCleanup/publish.htm
Maybe it can help someone else
Is anyone else having this issue? I only use one calendar and for some reason all my events are multiplied by 4 and I just have a feeling it's going to get worse. Does anyone have a fix for this. Running fully stocked.

Nope. Work.

Have the same thing going on with my work email, removing the account and readding it fixes it for a couple hours then it does it again. Also my contacts are multiplying.

Damn! Just looked at my contacts. Not good. It's almost like a mirror effect going on. I have a bad feeling it's just going to keep doubling until I have no room. I wonder if backup assistance is causing the problem?

I'm not using backup assistant, figured it was happening to me from a couple dirty flashes, but if you are running stock then that's not the case.

I had a similar problem on my Incredible because I have multiple Google accounts that have access to each other's calendars, so it would show all my events 2 and 3 times. Check your calendar settings and make sure it only shows one occurrence for each calendar name. Hope that helps.

I've been looking for a setting option like that for the last hour. Are you sure it exists on this phone? If so, I'd be grateful for your direction.
I deleted my corporate email and added it again. I'm no longer syncing contacts that's for sure.
Currently not being productive.
There are 2 places to look...
First, go under settings -> Accounts and sync. Check each account to see if "Sync Calendar" is checked.
Second, at the top of the calendar app main screen, hit the "Calendars" button. This will give you a list of available calendars to display. Mine has:
My Calendar = checked
My Tasks = checked
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked) and US holidays (unchecked)
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked), [email protected] (UNchecked), and US holidays (unchecked)
Show birthday with an arrow to expand showing "Contacts' birthdays" which is checked.
I left my other gmail accounts off this phone since I check them enough from work.
The problem I ran into on my Inc was from having my badseed767 calendar checked on 3 different accounts. Once I unchecked it on the extra accounts, it only showed up once.
Hope this helps.
No, but I appreciate the attempt. I was hoping there really was a way to ignore "same name" events. I had found the calendars menu and made sure only one of each account was checked and it was still multiplying everything. Then again it might have been too late since the events already multiplied. So this is what I did.
Deleted the email account. Joined all my contacts that could be combined. Setup the corporate email again and only synced the calendar and email. Went into calendar as you suggested above and made sure that only one corporate email was checked, then synced. So far no duplicates.

Sounds positive. I'm curious, do you have the Google sync thing running on a pc that syncs outlook to Google? Also, can you give us so insight on the exchange server? Curious if those having issues are imapi or pop3 configured etc.

Well... I honestly don't know. I'm new to Samsung/TWiz phones for the most part and I'm still trying to find my way around through all the settings.
As for Google being synced to Outlook, no, not intentionally at least. The only syncing I've done with Google has been on my phones. Hell, if I didn't have a phone, I'd never even look at gmail.
If I was on my HTC phone, I'd be able to answer your question on the server. Is there a way for me to see that somewhere in the settings? Haven't found it yet. If not, I'll try setting my phone up on my wife's phone(my old Rezound). However, I love to know where I can find that if it's an option.
EDIT: I can't find your answer. It's a corporate email if that helps.

Well, my plan didn't work. Events doubled. This is starting to drive me crazy!
Currently not being productive on my S3.
Coming from a HTC One X+ with Sense 5, contacts are linked to Facebook/Twitter etc which is really useful and a feature I really miss with pure Android.
So, in light of this I have two questions:
Can it be done with stock Android without a 3rd party app?
If not, is there a better solution than Contacts+? Whilst this app is ok, it's not as refined as I'd like.
Still love the phone though, by far the best I've had! If I can solve this contact linking issue then I'll be happy as Larry!
I use HaxSync for syncing Facebook contacts
For Facebook, I use the sync contacts option from Friendcaster. I don't actually use the app otherwise.
Thanks guys, do either of these apps change anything in the contacts? I.e. Can you see Facebook statuses and things when you go into a contact or does it just keep the profile photo synced?
