Marshmallow Concept: Event notifications rarely show up - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I updated to Marshmallow Concept I seldom see notifications of events. My old phone and the calendar page on my desktop PC do show the reminders but on the Z3 most of the time nothing happens. I can't see a pattern why or when they do get displayed.
I tried having both Calengoo and google calendar app running: either none or both of them produce the notification.
Turned off battery optimization for those apps then turned off the entire feature.
Since my events usually start on whole hours I set up a Tasker routine which turns on the screen for 30 seconds every 10 minutes. I hoped that it would force some kind of a refresh for the calendar widget I have on the home screen thus pushing the notification but it didn't help.
Any ideas why this happens or what to try next?

Weather widget not adjusting clock for daylight savings

The weather widget is not showing the right time. My system time updated for DST, but the widget will not.
I tried:
Restarting phone
Setting/unsetting "use location" in app settings
Removing and replacing app
Setting/unsetting automatic DST in phone Date/Time settings
Probably other things too.
The phone updated the time, but the app doesn't. The lock screen uses the system time, and the clock is in the same position, so when I unlock the phone it looks like the time skips ahead and hour.
Any help is appreciated.
Working now
It took half a day, but it just started working correctly. I didn't change anything. Strange. Maybe a manual refresh of the widget doesn't sync the clock, only the set periodic update?

Calendar notifications disappearing after 1 hour

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.

At a glance widget not working

Hey everyone,
I've just picked up my new Pixel 2 today and it's great but...the At A Glance widget doesn't seem do anything except show my calendar. Long press doesn't do anything and there is no options for it in the home settings.
Any suggestions?
Edit: ignore this. I've just had updated my apps and it now seems to be fine
I'm having an issue as well. It is only displaying the day, month, and weather. I have things on my calendar but it never displays them. My appointments will show up in the notification bar but not on the home screen. Any ideas?
I've already long pressed and made sure my calendar events were enabled.

I'm having the same issue on on Pixel 2XL
I think what worked for me was allowing Google Now access to my upcoming events and location info. If you go to the Google Now screen and play around with the settings there it should work.
So I added a test event in the calendar app and it worked. So am I to assume that only events created within the app will show?
I contacted support and they verified my theory. It will only display events created within the app. If it gets added via the web or any other means, it will not show.
So, if a colleague creates an appointment and invites me as guest, the event is shown in my calender (as usual) but At-A-Glance won't show it??
And how do you toggle the weather to be shown or not to be shown? Long press only offers me calendar events and traffic info.

Regarding the weather. Try going to your google now feed and hitting the 3 dots in the top right corner. Then look for "customize feed" and hit that. Then scroll down and under "weather" hit "view all settings". Then where it says "weather updates for your location" turn it on. If it is already on, turn it off then back on. Now go back to your google now feed and pull down to refresh the feed. Now go back to your home screen and you should see the weather. As far as turning it off I think you can just turn off the "weather updates for your location" setting but I think you need to reboot to make the weather disappear.

That's dumb. I rarely if ever create an appointment from my phone. I usually do it from the web on my desktop. It should read from your Google Calendar regardless of where you enter it from.

My at a glance widget displays events added via the web, not just created within the app. It only displays the events starting shortly before the event. However, the widget appears to behave differently for different people.
Support is not the most reliable source of information.
I had this issue with my brand new Pixel 2, But I fixed it. To fix it first go to the Google app page in setting then go to the storage, manage space and then clear all data. After disable it enable it and it should start work.

Calendar Notification disappearing automatically in my Galaxy S6

I have a Samsung galaxy s6 phone. Whenever I have a event in my calendar the notification pop's up and disappears within a few seconds without me dismissing it.. I also dont see the notification reminder in the top bar to remind me.
So I will not know if there is any meeting etc until I open the calendar. This is really frustrating me since I tend to miss some meetings because the notifications dont stay.
If I go to the safe mode and the calendar notification seems to stay in the top bar and works as expected. It doesnt seem to work in the normal mode. It would be great if somebody can help me resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Please note I have enabled notifications: Settings - Notifications - Calendar
Has nobody faced this issue. I am not seeing any response so far.
this is not an issue, since months (years?) ago google made a modification on their calendar.
The event notification will disappear when the event is done. i.e.: the event starts at 1pm and ends at 2pm, the notification will go away at 2pm.
And yes I agree, this is very annoying ! Sometimes you need the notification all day long, or until you actually do the action and then dismiss the notification.
I didn't find anything to make it work in the calendar app, but according to my search, here a workaround : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.quarck.calnotify

OOS 12 upgrade- all app notifications turned off by default?

So I upgraded to OOS12, i did a factory wipe as well to start fresh. Noticed odd stuff, like I wasn't getting text message notifications, they were coming in but notifications were set only to show up in the status bar not notify me. Then weird stuff like my alarm didn't wake me up this morning- the clock app was set not to notify me at all!
I found the manage notifications, almost all apps were set to off. A few odd ones were on, Facebook was on, "My Files" was on...is there some reason why this is? I know there's a big push now to not have so many notifications on our phones...but it's very frustrating as I actually use my phone for work and productivity, and most of my notifications are important. I'd rather have them all on and turn off the ones that are annoying, but I don't see a setting?
