[Q] Calendar Notification - HTC One S

Okay I have searched for 2 days now trying to figure this one out and I'm stumped.
On my google calendar I have many different calendars set up for different stuff, like I'm sure a lot of people do. However it seems that only 1, sometimes 2, of the calendars set off the notifications on time or at all. When looking at events or on the Agenda view it shows the Bell meaning reminder is set, but no dice. My Outlook calendar sounds off without any issues, so far. I have my Reminder Settings set to Alert and Default Reminder on time. I have tried clearing the data and reloading, didn't work. I deleted my google account, restarted, then added it again...didn't work. I've tried switching the alert settings but that doesn't seem to help at all.
Anyone else having problems with their calendar and/or know of a solution?

Didn't notice until I read this. Bump.

Just noticed this, notifications might be working if they aren't set to go off on time. Set 1 minute or more before event seems to be working. More testing is needed though because I have found that some reminders go off same day they are set but not future reminders....

I need some simple reminder/alarm

I find some alatm/clock but it is so complicate with many options or they dont have option that I need.
Alarm/reminder need to be simple and have options to repeat alarm (yearly,month,weekly...), and auto repeat alert when is not see and off alarm.
And need to have list of all appointments.
thanks.
ptravelalarm is the one i've been using for a few years now
Moved as not software release.
I just want a reminder thing that actually reminds me. Any suggestions? The installed calendar fails miserably in this respect. I added Calendar Event to the phone, and that doesn't fit the bill either. I downloaded COL reminder, but it seems I need to load them all into the program, instead of it reading my calendar reminders. My WM6.1 phone did just fine with this; add an appointment or reminder, even make it repeat every other day, and it actually reminded me! At the selected time! Even Palm had this figured out.
I have tried setting different ring tones, setting it to vibrate all the time, setting test reminders between 2-30 minutes from when I type in the reminder. No consistent success. I have a cyclic reminder set for 0755 every morning to show me a Bible verse. I get pretty task saturated by then, so it's a good opportunity to stop and breathe. However, I don't see the reminder until hours later, usually when a second reminder for the day has popped up. What gives? Has anyone tried Nudnik?
Annoying isn't it? It's another one of those things that any Nokia brick from ten years ago did better. Makes you wonder if we're going forward or backwards.
isn't android already have an alarm in the clock application??

[Q] After Update - No Sync, Shortcut bar makes screen dark

Hello there! Here I am again feeling like the only one...
Since the update, none of my accounts sync - except the Verizon backup thing. Dropbox has the sync disabled and I can't enable it. Have looked in the app itself, under data usage, and under accounts, but the sync option is grayed out or not available. Email/Gmail say that they're enabled, but they don't auto sync.
And that new shortcut bar has caused a display issue with Internet and several other apps having a blue-tinted transparent "screen" which makes it difficult to read because it darkens the page.
I've done a lot of searching and fully expected to find a bunch of threads about this, but apparently, I'm using the wrong search terms or I'm the only one experiencing this.
Please help... I'm driving across country in three days and I really need to know my phone is working.

I think I can help you with at least some of your problems.
Your blue tint on your screen is probably due to power save mode being enabled. It's in settings, just make sure it's turned off.
For the auto sync feature, I think you don't have it enabled under accounts in settings. Go into settings again, look for accounts, click on Google, and make sure it's enabled. Click on the auto sync symbol, and make sure everything is checked that you want auto synced. To get Dropbox to auto sync, you have to manually add it it with the + sign in accounts.
This may not be exact, I haven't run a stock rom in a while, my layout may be different.
Thank you for trying to search first.

My Dropbox also displays the grayed out option in my son's since taking the update. I have however still been uploading my pictures. When I go into Dropbox and select the photos tab the second button from top left it will bring up all my uploaded photos.

All Day Calendar Notifications Not Working

All of my all day calendar notifications go off hours after they are suppose to. I have tried using multiple different calendar apps (stock, google calendar, today calendar, etc). They all do the exact same thing. If an all day notification is suppose to go off at 9AM it will alert me at 6PM. Calendar events that are set for a certain time work fine. Anyone have a fix for this?

I have similar problem! I haven't found any fix. Seems like firmware bug.

You need to go in Advanced setting>Battery Manager>Protected Apps and turn protection on for the Application in question or it won't run i the back ground.
Backup, Hard reset, restore.
Try setting battery mode to performance to see if it still happens.
Protect app in phone manager, battery.

I don't think that it helps. Reminders of "usual" events works perfectly. Only reminders of All-day events are notified in wrong times. Of course, Google calendar is set as protected app..
You could try it to rule those causes out.

If you have them set on onther devices: on other devices do they work correctly?

Yes, on all of my other devices they work correctly.
Pretty sure it's a bug with the software app, as mine is experiencing it as well. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

Today I did a factory reset to see if that would help my time delay problem. Unfortunately, it did not. However what I did notice is that when I set a calendar reminder to go off at 9AM on my phone it shows up as 12AM on my Google Calendar.

Is your phone's time zone the same as your Google calendar?
I don't experience such issue on my phone, so I guess it's not really a software bug.....

The time zone is correct. I called Huawei and they said they did not know why it was happening and that I would have to send my phone in. However, they could to guarantee anything.
The issue is still not fixed....
I also have an Honor 8 and when I set an alarm for an all-day event, the alarm goes off 9 hours after the initial setting. For example, if I set an alarm to go off at 6pm it will actually go off at 3am which is annoying and woke me up in the middle of the night. I am glad I am not the only person with this problem. Hopefully there will be a fix. In the meantime, I just have to adjust the alarm to a time that is 9 hours before I actually want it to go off.

That issue drives me nuts, to the point I got a new phone. Problem Solved! I will never buy another Honor phone.
the all day events have a notification time calculated as in "X day(s) before the event, at specific hour Y" ....from what I can see on my notifications huawei wrongly interpret this as "X day(s) before the event + Y hour(s) before the event" . In my case, for example, when I set on Google Calendar (web) for an all day event notification for that specific day at 9AM setting "0(zero) days before , at 10AM" huawei calendar show it as "0 days before and -10 hours before" (-10 hours before should be exactly 10 hours after which is 10AM) but the notifications is displayed 9 hours later than it should (7PM). Also the "at the start of the event" seems to be 9 hours off ( notification at 9AM ). I had no time to do extensive testing , but seems to be something wrong with the calendar backend on the huawei phones firmware as installing different Calendar apps (including the official Google Calendar app) don't solve the "all day events" notification problem (I have a P10 , bug is present in both 7.0 and 8.0beta Android versions) .....And , it seems that "all day events" that have notifications set 1 (or more) days before and no specific hour, work as expected (or maybe I just didn't noticed the bug on this ones due to not being so critical to have a specific hour 1 week before the event for example ) .

email notifications issues

I switched off the stock email APP because it was showing the wrong number of mails on the icon.
I went back to Bluemail which I had used on my Moto Z without issue, took that off and now have Typeapp but same problem - no incoming email notification sound on either?
Any thoughts?

OK if you have done all the necessary settings (all permissions, notifications settings, ignoring Android optimization) then....
You have the same problem either if you leave the app open in resent apps?
This is a more general problem than just with BlueMail.
If you look back a few weeks you'll find a thread about MailDroid, that doesn't give a proper notification tone. I've had to change to Blue Mail, and it does notify properly for me. However when I first used it the app didn't always pick up a mail until I brought it out of lock. It seems to be OK now.
I think this is down to the Mate's aggressive battery-saving that is supposed to learn about app use.
And yes, I have checked the app settings and the phone settings over and over to make sure they are right.
Thanks for the replies. I tried another 3 APPS and all failed to play the notification when I sent a test mail from my PC.
I ended up back with an oldie I haven't used for years - K9 - and all is working as it should.
Not the most up to date look but if it works I'll settle for that. Four APPS with all the settings to key in and then delete it took me to midnight last night... enough was enough
Glad to hear you have found a substitute that works.
With so many different apps being affected, I'm sure there is a system problem with notifications. Hopefully this will be sorted with a future update.
Outlook works fine. Gmail is worse.

Question How to stop calendar reminder notifications from disappearing after the event has ended

Hi all, I've just upgraded from a Oneplus 8 pro to the S22 ultra, and happy with everything apart from the fact that calendar reminder notifications now disappear once the event has ended. So if I have a ckaednsr event from 8 to 8:30, and a reminder set to go off 15 mins before, the reminder will pop up as planned, but will disappear after 8:30.
That's a problem for me and I often have multiple reminder and don't get a chance to check them until later when I'm catching up on some events, except now the reminders are gone.
I never had this issue before with mostly oneplus phones for several years.
I'm using the Business Calendar app (now called PractiCal Schedule Planner. I thought maybe it's an app issue, but from searching online it seems this behaviour is now standard? Anything I can do to ensure the reminder notifications stay visible until I dismiss them?
Cheers
I have no idea how to fix it, but if you figure something out please reply here so I can get notified. I'm running into the same issue and it drives me crazy.
Haven't found a solution unfortunately, and a bit surprised that it doesn't seem to be an issue for many. Suggestions range from using a reminder app, or tasks, trying to use another calendar app and muting the stock app (didn't work for me),... Nothing sorted it
I just downloaded and purchased the "Recent Notifications" app.
I excluded all apps except the calendar app so now at least I can find all of my calendar reminders that have fired off in one place. It includes a 4x3 widget which is just waaaay too big to be useful,in my opinion, but I just click into the app to view them.
My S10 didnt have this issue, and why does my Secure Folder always want to open up every time I start my car? Why does my wifi say it isn't connected to the internet and the only fix is to turn off wifi and back on? And why doesn't my music autoplay in my car anymore? If the phone didnt have such a nice camera then I'd seriously think about switching back. Too many annoyances that didnt used to be annoyances.

No need for an additional app. There is a simple solution. Go to notifications...advanced settings...notification history....and turn it on...It keeps record of all notifications....even calendar events/meetings... I use outlook and had a meeting 1 day ago and the notification is still in the history, just had to scroll down to the meeting notification...It divides it into recent notifications and then a bit further down it divides it per app
