I upgraded to an Android 11 phone. I've been using Pimlical Calendar for years and I depend on the alarms to remind me about appointments. I do this in Calendar by setting alarms for the new appointment. I like that in the past I couldn't ignore these notifications. They remind me "you have a meeting in 1 hour", you have a meeting in 30 minutes, etc. This works because I have the reminders vibrate and I wear my phone in a belt holster. So they really interrupt what I'm doing and I have to look at what it's reminding me of. I seem to remember that maybe this won't work in Android 11. And now I see that those reminders trigger an innocuous Notification which I can see on Swipe-Down. Those unobtrusive Notifications will not be good enough. I've already had a couple of alarms only set off a notification, and I missed them. Is there a workaround, I need very annoying vibrating appointment reminders.

i have this problem 2 times now. both times i had to hard reset the unit. after i reset it, everthing goes back to normal. calendar alarms will ring 30 mins before the due meeting.
then suddenly it doesn't ring anymore. i checked the settings for sounds and notifications and it's checked on nofitication (alarms, reminders). but it doesn't ring. only my alarm clock rings. i keep missing my meetings because of this.
can someone pls help? thanks
you can check this application:

it improves among other things alarms, so that they are called and repeated for required time, even if sound swithced off.
When I set up a reminder, my WM6 phone beeps for few secs. But if I am not near the phone at that moment, I might miss that reminder and I don't get to know about it until I look at the phone. Is there any way for the phone to ring an alarm every 15 mins or so when there is an active reminder that needs to be snoozed or dismissed?
try phone alarm. It works well for me, there is a free demo to try too.
And if you are not interested in the overheads of PhoneAlarm try AlarmPal from the same publisher as PhoneAlarm
Atleast on my phone, with WM6, when I have an alarm go off, such as an appointment, or an email, I'll get the reminder tone like every 1 or 2 minutes. What phone/ROM are you using?
I do have PhoneAlarm installed, but I can't find a way to stop this.
The two most disruptive things my phone will do:
Alert me to a missed call after I've chose to Ignore it.
Alert me to a reminder after I've dismissed it (but only at it's start time)
The later is always bad when right as a meeting or appointment starts, my VoiceCommand fires off reading a lengthy subject with "Starting Now".
Anyone had this problem, or know how to stop it?
Turn off voice notification reminders for calender objects... It's under Start - Settings - Personal - Voice Command IIRC.
Sorry I should have been more specific. It's not just voice reminders, it's any reminder, tone, vibrate. And I want to keep the voice reminders.
I just want them to go off when I have a reminder set or when I really miss a call.
NOT at the meeting start time after I have already dismissed the reminder, or after I have selected Ignore to an incoming call.
Greetings,
My wife and I both have the Samsung Focus S phones on AT&T running the 7720.68 build. Mine is dev. unlocked and hers is stock.
Both of our phones duplicate alarms and reminders. For instance, if I set a calender reminder for 1:00 today, when 1 comes around my phone will alert me. I then have to dismiss at least 2 of the same reminders; usually there are 4.
My wife's phone does the same with alarms that she sets. Additionally, hers will not snooze an alarm. Pressing snooze does silent the alarm, but half of the time the alarm never goes off again.
Does anyone else have the same problems? Is this a known issue? Are there any solutions (other than throwing the phone in the river)?
Thanks.
I feel like a noob, but does anyone know how to disable vibrate on HTC calendar even reminders? I don't use vibrate mode for any notifications, so when the thing vibrates on the desk next to me I always jump like a little girl.
