Alright I think I'm stuck for once. Facebook calendar notification of birthdays will not go away from the lock screen. I cannot uninstall facebook or freeze the program because it wont let me without root and TB. I've changed all my facebook settings and friend stream to not sync calendar and done a couple of reboots. These events wont show up in my calendar now either google or phone sense calendar anymore but im still stuck with the popup on lockscreen. Even when i drag the notification to the ring it brings me to calendar and the event doesnt exist anymore according to it.
Is there a way to get rid of this short of factory reset/root TB and freeze. My beautiful lockscreen is made ugly with this and would like to find a solution. Thanks in advance.
Hey, I had the same problem. What i did to fix it was to go into calendar and untick everything except the calendars I wanted. I also went to the lockscreen settings and chose them. After that, just restart and you should be good to go
i will give it a shot and report back.
edit: it was the lockscreen settings under personalize that did it for me... thanks again still getting used to sense coming from touchwiz.

Hey everyone, so first off this Mango beta is just fantastic! 8) However, there is one slight annoyance I have. The calendar feature as you know has been updated a good bit. However, my calendar events are all showing up on the lockscreen. Is there any way to turn off the lockscreen calendar notifications, short of entirely turning off the calendar service?

You can go into the settings for the calendar and adjust which ones show, even adjusting the FB portion a bit. I had to, I didn't want every single club invitation I get every 20 seconds showing up
Nearly every morning I wake up to a birthday reminder. I never set my phone up to tell me about said birthdays, but damned if it doesn't tell me anyway. How can I make this stop? I checked the calendar app and the birthdays that I'm getting alerts about are from the "People" calendar. I unchecked the People calendar from the drop-down list, but today's birthdays are still showing up on my "Productivity" lock screen. Hopefully it will cease the alerts in the morning, but I'd rather not have irrelevant birthdays on my lock screen either
Is the a way to fix this without doing each individually? I also can't swipe away the birthday notification thing from my lockscreen.

Did you try Lockscreen settings?
Settings > Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Settings > Display Calendar Events from: "Check/un-check as you want"
Do you use the Facebook app? If you are getting birthday reminders for people what you normally not even have birthdays info, that's probably it.
I know I've had this issue in the past, but I can't reproduce it now. In the past when I've had this problem, I've just turned off the option to sync Facebook to my contacts. But this means you won't see their status messages or FB photo in your contacts. But I can care less about that. Might affect Friendstream too, but I don't use that either. If you want to try this, in the FB app go to Settings>Sync contacts, and select "Don't sync" then press done.
I'm guessing this is a bug with the Samsung calendar. I've been using the Google calendar since I've had an Epic Touch (S2) and had this issue on that phone also. After installing the Google calendar, I disable the Samsung calendar by going to Settings -> Set alerts & notifications -> Off. The problem with this is that every time I reboot, the setting resets to "Status bar notification". Because of this I end up with double notifications. Is there any way to make this setting stick? I'm thinking I probably need to uninstall the Samsung calendar or have a script run at boot (Tasker?).

You can go into settings - application manager - then disable calendar
or
just use root browser and change the touchwiz calendar SJFKDL.bak
I knew it had to be something simple. Didn't even think to look in the application manager. There is a check box for Show Notifications. Unchecked it and no more double notifications. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
This isn't a permanent fix unfortunately! I'm having the same trouble and every morning or throughout the day I have to repeat that process and it doesn't stay disabled. Please advise ASAP
Can someone explain how on earth the notification sidebar works?
It always says no notifications on there. I see the weather, a little checkbox and the word no notifications
I have few missed notifications checked such as caller name ID, email, fitbit, gmail, hangouts, google inbox, instagram, google messenger (texting), phone, snapchat and whatsapp.
Whenever I get something from these nothing ever shows up on there. I do see them scroll on the main sidebar when it scrolls.
Any help gents? I just don't get it.

Try to restart the phone... I had the same issue a couple of times and, after restarting, the bar came back to work properly. It should be an annoying bug
Could be you already seen or cleared your notifications panel.

A restart fixed it. Guess it froze...
Same thing with CNN. it locks up... I took it off, but a restart would fix it I bet.
Hi guys,
I am facing a strange issue since I installed the latest update on my S7. The notifications for S Planner events, that are shown when you pull down the top menu disappear after 1 hour. It used to stay there until I cleared them out manually.
I also tried Business Calendar 2 pro. Same thing happens there.
This is very annoying as I leave the notifications there until I deal with them and if they disappear I just forget that I was supposed to take care of something.
I was trying to find the setting that is controlling this with no luck. I really hope that this is a matter of setting or a bug.
Could someone help me with this please?
Thank you.
Same here. I have installed Google calendar - the same happens.
Any solutions anyone?
same here.
i also tried google calendar, but it does the same-
the reminders disappear after the event's time is up
====================================================
EDITED - Solution
I found a workaround solution: i installed "Events Notifier for Calendar".
One of the app's features is configuring how a reminder stops: manually stopped, when the event starts or when the event ends.
So now i can still see my reminder notifications, even when they disappear from the calendar notification since their time was up.
Bump. Anyone figure this out yet?
Google search (with quotes): "Samsung or Google Have Screwed Up the S Planner App".
You can try Samsung's alternate UI, "Good Lock"
It has two tabs in your notification pull down where you can store notifications you want to save for later.
