Greetings,
My wife and I both have the Samsung Focus S phones on AT&T running the 7720.68 build. Mine is dev. unlocked and hers is stock.
Both of our phones duplicate alarms and reminders. For instance, if I set a calender reminder for 1:00 today, when 1 comes around my phone will alert me. I then have to dismiss at least 2 of the same reminders; usually there are 4.
My wife's phone does the same with alarms that she sets. Additionally, hers will not snooze an alarm. Pressing snooze does silent the alarm, but half of the time the alarm never goes off again.
Does anyone else have the same problems? Is this a known issue? Are there any solutions (other than throwing the phone in the river)?
Thanks.

i have this problem 2 times now. both times i had to hard reset the unit. after i reset it, everthing goes back to normal. calendar alarms will ring 30 mins before the due meeting.
then suddenly it doesn't ring anymore. i checked the settings for sounds and notifications and it's checked on nofitication (alarms, reminders). but it doesn't ring. only my alarm clock rings. i keep missing my meetings because of this.
can someone pls help? thanks
you can check this application:

it improves among other things alarms, so that they are called and repeated for required time, even if sound swithced off.
I just upgraded my treo 700 to wm6. (heh heh) withthe stadard verizon rom. seems to be working great.
I was previously using Phone alarm and I only miss one thing
repeating alarms.
I would like missed calls to repeat untill dismissed
voicemail to repeat until dismissed
these are greyed out under sound and notifications
reminders to repeat 3 times with 5 minutes each time.
I could make a long (15 minute) sound that is moslty silent for that last one but makes noise at 0, 5, 10 and 15 minutes
Have you taken a look at SPB Phone Suite It allows repeated alarms and all.
phoneAlarm has those options to.
I have a strange problem with my Samsung Galaxy S phone: if I set an alarm (from the clock) and i also set a calendar reminder to ring at the same time, only the reminder notification sound will play.
For reminders i have a very short sound (I don't need to phone to make a lot of noise for every reminder), so if this happens in the morning when i have to wake up, I end up sleeping though it with no problems at all.
The even stranger thing is that I have asked a few friends with the same type of phone to test this, and the alarms sounds when they do this.
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this for my phone?
I have the following software:
PDA: I9000XFJP7
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XFJP6
I noticed that every time an event reminder goes off on my Tab it starts an alarm that just keeps going off till deactivated. On my phone it would just give me a simple notification sound. Has anyone else noticed this and have you found a way to disable it? I have it set to status bar notification under set alarms & notifications, but I still get the actual alarms (and its a rooster crowing which is quite annoying when I have stepped out for a smoke and it is just going off in my office.)
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this...
I upgraded to an Android 11 phone. I've been using Pimlical Calendar for years and I depend on the alarms to remind me about appointments. I do this in Calendar by setting alarms for the new appointment. I like that in the past I couldn't ignore these notifications. They remind me "you have a meeting in 1 hour", you have a meeting in 30 minutes, etc. This works because I have the reminders vibrate and I wear my phone in a belt holster. So they really interrupt what I'm doing and I have to look at what it's reminding me of. I seem to remember that maybe this won't work in Android 11. And now I see that those reminders trigger an innocuous Notification which I can see on Swipe-Down. Those unobtrusive Notifications will not be good enough. I've already had a couple of alarms only set off a notification, and I missed them. Is there a workaround, I need very annoying vibrating appointment reminders.
