My Gear S3 used to do an alarm where i had to dismiss (bezel left or right). I've since moved to a OnePlus 6T and my company has moved to Outlook so i lost my calendar alarms. I recently synced my calendar to google stock but i only get notifications, I no longer get the alarm... is this a feature only for Samsung phones? Is there a way to get it back? This was one of the main reasons to have a smart watch, as i would get a notification that i had to action on my watch, and all the information for the meeting was available.
Any options?
Never see an "Alarm" on my Gear (1,2,S,S2 or S3) for calendar event, just notification or for the Samsung phone alarm (but different from calendar).
Otherwise I use "Calengoo" for my Calendar event and I have customized Snooze action or dismiss. If I do nothing it auto-snooze.

I searched for Calengoo, installed it, but there's no galaxy wear app for it and it doesn't do anything useful. All it seems to do is add entries to my google calendar and does meeting reminders on my phone and nothing on the watch. Am I missing something? I already have my calendar synced into the google calendar that appears on the watch. I get notifications, but I don't get the full screen dismissable/snoozable alarm for calendar events.
To be clear, I am asking about a full watch screen alarm based on my google calendar where it vibrates just like a phone call, and i need to either rotate left or right. These used to work fine and now the feature has vanished and I can't figure out how to get it back.
Calengoo is just an app witch add action and notification action for Calendar event.
When an event occur you have a notification (with sound or alarm sound you want) on phone and on the watch.
On the watch you have all action set on Calengoo for exemple for me when event occur, on the S3 I can select "Snooze for 5min", "Snooze for 15min", "Snooze for 30min" or "Dismiss". If I do nothing on the watch I have another same Calendar notification 7min after. Similar to an alarm with a "Dismis" and a "Snooze" and an "Auto-Snooze" option (but not with the bezel) .

How do I get reminder notifications on my phone for events that were created through Google Calendar in the browser. The only reminder options in the web app are email and pop up and the reminder options in the Android app are notification and email. I thought setting up pop up reminders in the browser would translate into notification reminders in Android but that doesn't seem to be the case. For the most part I manage my calendars in browser on my pc and just want to get the notification reminders on my phone. Is this possible? I have Calendar set to auto sync in Android and all my calendars are set to sync as well.
On my PC, I just added a test event for 10 minutes ahead with the notification set for 5 minutes. Then I checked that it showed on the phone. On the phone, the notification fired off on time.

I'm dredging up this old thread because ever since my Nexus S was upgraded to ICS the notifications have completely stopped working! It used to work perfectly before the upgrade, but now, no matter how I set them... on my desktop or on the phone... there is no alert, pop-up, or notification of any event on my Google Calendar.
This is a major issue for me as I depend on these alerts. Has anyone else had this issue since ICS? Any ideas how to get it working?? I've tried adjusting all the Settings for notifications, etc.
[Rooted UCLB3 with Zen's Infusion A kernel, voodoo sound installed]
1 - When I go to Settings / Sound / Volume I see 4 sliders (Incoming Call Volume, Media Volume, System Volume, Notification Volume).
For 3 of the 4, when I move the slider I hear a sample of the volume as expected.
But for the system volume slider, when I move it I hear nothing at all. Doesn't matter where I move it, all I hear is silence.
2 - I think I haven't been getting any audible notifications for calendar appointments lately.
Is "system volume" used for calendar appointments? For anything else? How do you set the sound associated with system volume (it's different than notification apparently).
How to get it back?

Is there not an "Alarm" volume on your rom?
Calendar appointments may just fall under Notifications for you.
System Volume would be those innate clicks and UI sounds when you click or open things on your phone.
If your Calendar isn't making any sounds, check the settings in your calendar app to see what notification tone you have set for your reminders, and that the notifications and reminders are enabled.
Hopefully that helps!

Aha, so that’s what that system volume for.
With "audible selection" disabled in settings (my original configuration), the slider does nothing.
When I enabled “audible selection” in settings, then that slider produces a click when I move it. That explains why the slider wasn’t doing anything before (audible selections was off).
I had associated this system volume slider "symptom" with lack of calendar alarms since I noticed the slider movement didn't do anything at the time I was investigating my lack of calendar alarms... but that was an incorrect conclusion on my part.

After your post, I just tried a special calendar appointment with alarm set manually and it did work. (stock calendar app). That’s good.
It used to be that all my appointments had alarms occuring 15 minutes ahead, alarms set automatically with no action on my part to set an alarm for individual appointments.
Now it seems like I only get alarm if I manualy set them.
My challenge has now evolved to: how do I get alarms automatically scheduled on my calendar apponitments?
The appointments I’m interested in are ones sent to my work outlook email account. I have an outlook rule which auto-forwards everything to my gmail. When my gmail receives an invite it puts it on my gmail calendar which is sync’d to my android calendar.
It used to be the case that all these appointments sounded an alarm tied to the appointment, 15 minutes ahead. Now nothing happens (unless I set an alarm manually, which I didn't have to before). I almost missed a meeting yesterday as a result.
I checked Android calendar settings, don’t see it in there.
I checked gmail settings. Don’t see it in there. Actually there is an un-used option for gmail to notify me by text message of appointments on my gmail calendar ... but the old calendar notifications didn't come on text message. So I guess I have a solution available (notify of gmail appointments by text), but I'm wondering why it doesn't work the way it used to.
Maybe it is in my outlook calendar settings... I’ll check that next and report back results...
resolved (sort of)
I checked MS outlook settings. There you can set an alarm for individual item but I don’t think there is a default alarm (and even if there were, it’s not logical that it would be relevant to my gmail/android which only knows about the invite, not whether it was accepted in outlook).
I don’t know what changed. To be honest, I don’t remember ever setting up my gmail/phone to provide meeting alarms, it just started happening automatically by itself immediately after I set up the outlook rule to forward all my work emails (including meeting invitations) to my personal gmail account. But after I started getting those meeting notifications on my phone, I did grow to expect that behavior and rely on them.
To restore my meeting notifications on my phone, I have now setup gmail to provide me with SMS 15 minutes before meeting. Should get the job done, and perhaps even a little more reliable than before because I will still get the SMS even for meetings scheduled at the last minute where my phone may not have had chance to sync to my gmail yet.
So, my problem is solved by setting up a different type of notification (sms from gmail calendar). I’m not sure what changed (open to comment if anyone knows), but doesn’t matter other than for general understanding.
Thanks again Ryo for helping me figure out it had nothing to do with system volume.

I'm glad that fixed things!
Yeah, I used to keep the audible selections off all the time, so system volume was pretty useless.
Also, I think "system" controls the dial pad sounds on the Dialer app, as long as you have those enabled.

You said you're running a rooted UCLB3? Is that Gingerbread Stock?
JB and ICS have a setting in the Calendar App that lets you decide the default 'reminder' time. (Which can then be tweaked when you create the actual event.)
Gingerbread or Froyo, though... I honestly can't remember too well (it's been too long ago!), but I don't think that option existed there.
I also checked the Google Calendar website settings, and there isn't a default reminder setting there either. =X

Sorry that you had to resort to such a round about method... If you can't find the setting for default reminder time, you could either change your Rom, keep with method you are using, or use a different calendar app. (When I was on Gingerbread, I found that I liked an app called Business Calendar. I'm not sure if it'll work for your needs, so you'll have to give it a try.)
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.
Anyone notice the new way Tizen 3 displays Calendar notifications as 'ALARMS' now? Maybe it's just my watch, but on my Tizen 3 upgraded and full reset Gear S3, the calendar notifications are displaying like an 'alarm' which is so annoying since I have a lot of calendar notifications. Now when I look at the watch and haven't cleared the calendar notification 'alarm', that's what I see when I look at my watch until I've cleared it! On Tizen version 2, the calendar notifications where just that, notifications not 'ALARMS'! I can't seem to find a setting to change this behavior.
Anyone notice this too? And is there any setting to change it?

I have noticed it too. And it is annoying. I am fine for my watch to vibrate and then I can chose to tap a button to see what the notification is. However, now, as you stated, they are displayed as alarms that are persistent regardless of notification settings. I intentionally avoid screen on time to extend battery life between charges. I am good with almost every change made, except this one. They even gave us the option to disable the bezel wake which was a major power drain for me as I unintentionally rotate the bezel quite often, especially sleeping. However, now that all of my calendar notifications turn on the display my battery life is the same or worse. I just want the calendar event notifications to be notifications that can be managed as they were on Tizen 2. This calendar event alarm thing is not a good idea.
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
