Hi XDA,
Long time lurker, first time poster
For while now I'm looking for an app that gives me calendar reminders. I have two calendars set-up on my android phone, 1 MS Exchange calendar (work) and 1 google calendar (personal). I'd like to get sound notifications for my personal calendar only, not for the work calendar. I like my work-calendar in my phone just so I can check what's up in my spare time, I get reminders @ the workplace via my PC.
The way I see android work is that either I get notifications for ALL calendars, or I get none. I'd like to get all notifications for one specific calendar.
I'd like an app that integrates, aka I don't want to make new calendar-entries specifically for the seperate notification. I'd like the app to look at my google calendar.
I've been looking for this kind of app for quite a while now, I'd really like it!

I'm frustrated with the Samsung Galaxy S' calendar. My important appointments make a little low *bip* sound and that's about it. I tried to use Calendar Snooze, but I can't get it to work. Apparently you should be able to select snooze option from the Calendar app but it doesn't work because no such option is available on my phone. Changing the sounds in the phone settings makes no difference. Any ultra mega hacker who knows how to take control over the calendar notifications?
yes, this is a bug or not but a very tiresome. i need this knowledge too how can i change.
Mine uses the default notification sound.
Menu-> Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification ringtone, pick one.
I take that back. I used Calendar Notifier from Market to solve that specifically without rooting. You could also root and replace the TouchWiz calendar with the Android stock calendar.apk. the instructions, etc are here
when syncing with exchange, docs attached to meeting notices don't show up as downloadable like they do in email. Anyone know of a way around this or a Calendar alternative that does recoginize attachements embedded in calendar appointments?
nobody can share any insight on this?
since nobody responded to my question, just wanted to update and say that as of now the only work around i've found is to download the attachment(s) while the meeting notice is still an email (i.e. before you accept it so its added to your calendar). If anyone has a suggestion for a better way of handling embedded docs in calendar appointments, i'm all ears. Thanks.

Hi, on my business laptop with MS Windows and Outlook 2010 I use a tool named "Google Calendar Sync" to synchronize Outlook calender with my Google calender. Just search on Google for "Getting started with Google Calendar Sync".
Another way to get Outlook stuff synchronized with your Galaxy S is to use your Exchange account. But I don't want to use exchange on my Galaxy S because of battery drain. So this tool is a good compromise ;-)
Hi, here are my two cents: I'm using Touchdown for syncing my company MS Exchange account. It does download the meeting attachments when viewing mails/meeting notes, so this might help you out.
It is quite expensive (around 14 euro) but it is by far better than the stock exchange app and the support is perfect when mailing them. The other plus is that you can set whether you want to pull or push at certain times.
Having said that there are some downsides as well: the UI is (mildly said) very basic and its calendar looks like the programs from the 80s (but there are a few market calendar apps which one can use to view the meetings list)
Hmm.. I agree that this sounds pretty much like spamming but cross my heart: I'm just a happy Touchdown user (using some other apps as well to make my daily life organized) sharing my experience.
I hope that this answer your help call.
Cheers,
Rocky

Hey All,
Is there and Android native app that syncs your exchange calendar with your google calendar...
Like Moxier, Touchdown, etc. are all fine, but they have their own calendars - I just want one calendar with everything (in this case, my google calendar)...
Yeah, I know there are desktop apps, but these are useless if you're on the road for weeks and only carrying your beloved Android phone...
Thanks!
Thought I'd answer my own question since no one else could... That way, if anyone else wants an answer to the same question, here it is...
Yes - 2.2 gives you exchange calendar sync, so all your appointments appear on the one android calendar. Nice - no need for Moxier, Touchdown or anything, and I only have to look at one calendar to find out my schedule, not 3...
Thanks to Mango's multiple calendar support and Windows Live Birthday Calendar, my friends' birthdays show up on my lock screen and home screen, and i didn't have to do a single thing (beside keeping my contact list synced and organized), which is great. However, all the birthday events come with a default 12-hour reminder, which my phone notifies me, and its annoying. How do i collectively disable the reminders for all my birthday events?
Same thing has been happening to me. I think its Windows Live Calender setting/issue. Unfortunately, I don't think you can collectively disable them. I think the only way to get rid of it is to go into each birthday in your windows live calender and turn off the notification for that individual.
I found the solution (running Mango 7.5), you go into the Calender, hit the "..." on the bottom right, go to Settings and you can choose to disable birthdays or all of Windows live reminders on the calendar as well.

Thanks.. it worked for me too.. I am not sure what is the default.. I have two HTC Titans, one had it On, and other off..
Disabling the Calendar altogether is another story. It was asked if we can disable notifications for any single calendar or event.
As for disabling notifications of a specific calendar, unfortunately it cannot be done on the phone. You will have to navigate to Calendars in Hotmail and manage notifications from there
You will be presented with options when you select a single calendar and you can easily manage all your notifications (add, edit or remove). You can even send Hotmail to send you notifications via Mail or on your devices via software reminders.
I have personally tested this but have realized that even though i Disabled notifications for the Birthday Calendar of mine, notifications are still pushed to the device.
each account (settings->emails and accounts) has an option to sync contacts, emails and or calendars, right? can't you just can't you just remove calendar from sync settings..
Ok here is my problem. I have a completely stock g2x that is unlocked. I downloaded a new calendar app(business calendar) because it lets me distinguish between birthdays, events, and US holidays by making them highlighted in a different color. This makes it easier to see different events. After I separate my events and label them(birthdays, holidays,events), when I sync the calendar to my gmail account, it keeps making the events appear like the old calendar with everything highlighted in blue and you can't see the separate events. Basically what I am saying is that everytime I sync this new calendar it copies the old calendar. Now since I am not rooted, and don't plan to, I guess I can't delete or disable the stock calendar? I don't know what to do.
It doesn't make sense because when I go to settings on the old calendar, it gives you the option to sync and view birthdays(brown),events(blue),holidays(green), but when you create a new event it only gives you one option to label your event which is your email address which in turn makes the event blue like everything else. I know its kind of weird but I figured it is worth a shot to ask you guys.
I know that Gmail app permits to have different notifications for different email folders (labels) so that for example I can decide to be notified for every mail, except for the ones from Groupon that go in the 'Groupon' label.
I'd like to know if there is a way to obtain the same result (I want to get sound notifications only for emails that come from some people) with other email apps different than Gmail.
With Android Email it doesn't seem to be possible, it's a notify all or nothing. The same is for Outlook.com and for Yahoo Mail.
Do you know if any app other than Gmail has this option? Am I doing something wrong?
