My phone updated to the AVDC software and now I have noticed that my events from the calendar are not giving me any sound. I have done the following:
1. Checked settings to ensure a sound is selected for the calendar
2. Cleared the calendar app cache
3. Cleared the system cache
4. Checked that volume is set
I loaded Google Calendar and I do get notification sound from it. This has happened to mine and my wife's S22 Ultra's. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks.
try Proton Calendar, its free and secure
I am not looking to get a different calendar app. The stock app does everything I need in a calendar app. I just want to get the notification sound working. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a Samsung Charge, and I have noticed that every time I receive a new GMail message, I get two notifications.
I started turning off various notification sources, but I still get an audible ring & phone vibration whenever a new GMail message arrives.
Where is the mystery / duplicate notification coming from?
Thanks,

Which notification sources have you turned off?
The GMail app has its own notification source. And, I *think*, you can set it per account (not sure).
There is also Sound setting Notifications, not sure if GMail leverages that or not.
Are you using any third-party email applications?

I have my GMail set for "Email Notifications" disabled. I would think that would be enough to prevent getting GMail notifications.
I also have ADW Notifier installed, but it doesn't really have anything about displaying notifications other than the number bubble. Regardless, I uninstalled ADW Notifier, and didn't see any difference.
I also have K-9 Mail. I turned off all notifications on that, and also saw no effect. K-9 doesn't even interface with my GMail, so I don't see where it would make a difference anyways.
I don't have any other apps that should be associated to my mail programs.
Bump.
I have found that I only get the "Notification That Can't Be Killed" now just with new GMail messages. No other "mystery" notifications are occurring.
To see if I could fix this, I started using the TouchWiz Email application to consolidate all my email accounts, including GMail. I got rid of my K-9 mail app.
Now, I get a silent GMail notification from the TouchWiz Email app (which is what I want), but it seems like I still get an audible default notification tone from Google's GMail application whenever new GMail arrives.
I can't figure out why the GMail app Notifications are occurring. I think I have them all disabled, but I must be missing something ...
Please help ...

I have found one solution to fix this problem, though it shouldn't be necessary:
I purchased "Bloat Freezer", and "froze" the Google Gmail system application.
I'm curious (though, I didn't see many responses to this thread), has anyone tried turning off their GMail notifications in the Google GMail app?
I am wondering if turning off GMail Notifications even works on the SamChg.
I'll try later this evening when I'm not at work.
I actually always run my phone in silent mode, I am kind of against ringtones, chimes, etc. and thus have never had any issues with Gmail notifications because I've never needed to really turn them off.
I'll report back.

Thanks, burningembers! I'll be interested in what you find out.
BTW, I don't know if this is important, but I am running the Debloated v.4 ROM.
Sent via my Borg implant over the VZW network.
I have another nugget of information on this problem.
I unfroze the GMail application, and set my SamChg to sync my GMail again. However, in the GMail application, I set a different notification tone than the default notification.
Now, when I receive a new GMail, I get 2 audible notifications: One for the newly selected notification tone in the GMail application, and a second tone that is my default notification tone. Sometimes, they will play simultaneously.
I'm guessing that undesired, second "default" notification tone is generated as a result of the Google "account sync" itself.
How can I turn this off? And, again - Can anyone test this out for me to see if it is a global problem, or just my configuration?
Thanks!
[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.)
I'm guessing this is a bug with the Samsung calendar. I've been using the Google calendar since I've had an Epic Touch (S2) and had this issue on that phone also. After installing the Google calendar, I disable the Samsung calendar by going to Settings -> Set alerts & notifications -> Off. The problem with this is that every time I reboot, the setting resets to "Status bar notification". Because of this I end up with double notifications. Is there any way to make this setting stick? I'm thinking I probably need to uninstall the Samsung calendar or have a script run at boot (Tasker?).

You can go into settings - application manager - then disable calendar
or
just use root browser and change the touchwiz calendar SJFKDL.bak
I knew it had to be something simple. Didn't even think to look in the application manager. There is a check box for Show Notifications. Unchecked it and no more double notifications. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
This isn't a permanent fix unfortunately! I'm having the same trouble and every morning or throughout the day I have to repeat that process and it doesn't stay disabled. Please advise ASAP
Don't know how else to put it...
I noticed that if I double-tap the gmail notification on the AOD, I will be taken directly into the email message but the gmail notification does not clear/get dismissed if I just hit the home button. It will dismiss if I hit the back button within the gmail app and go back to the inbox.
However, when I receive 2+ gmails, the notification works properly and dismisses immediately when the app is launched from the AOD notification shortcut.
I thought it was just my phone but I tested it out on my wife's S8+ as well and the same issue <-- she hadn't noticed since she didn't know the AOD notifications were shortcuts...she thought they were redundant notifications so she would just click on the notification through the shade and enter the app (which works correctly and dispatches the gmail notification promptly).
This only occurs when you receive ONE (1) email and enter the gmail app thru the AOD notification. <-- I guess it's a bug (or does Samsung intend to say it's a feature????). Being kinda OCD, it bugs me. But I had to make sure since I just performed a factory reset as my gmail app was crashing on me all day and only a factory reset cured it (yes, I tried force disable, clear cache, clear delete from both the gmail app & google play services; remove account and add my gmail account back; nothing worked except for a full system factory restore and then a manual set up)...<--Ahh, I miss being able to TWRP, use Titanium Backup and do whatever the hell I wanted with my Nexus 5 (and the only reason I had to let it go was that it won't hold a charge for more than 4 - 6 hours tops now).
Roll call and let me know if you guys are facing the same issue. I'd like Samsung to fix it since I don't face this issue on my Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 tablet.
Thanks!
I have tried everything but google calendar notifications or events will not show up as notifications. No icon or sound or even vibration. I can't get calendar to work. I have deleted the app from system and then reinstalled it from google play. Cleared the cache and even given it all permissions. Still no success. Please help
