Notifications for calendar reminders don't work

Recently I've noticed that reminders which I set up in calendar events have stopped working. Basically, I get no alarm sound, no notification, no nothing. Like I'd never set that reminder up. :-o But at the same time clock alarms are working OK - just these in calendar don't...
I've tried to check notifications queue, clear it up from duplicates using ScaryBear Check Notifications, restart Kaiser - still no luck. I have no idea what to do to get my reminders working again. Any suggestions, anyone?

I'm having the same problem. Also, the voice command works but it continues to repeat the announcement over and over. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Did you get any help?

Same here
Any fix to this problem? I got the same thing here. Missed a couple of meetings because of this..

Updates to WM 6?
Any solutions? This is now getting really 'alarming'. Is this a WM 6 issue, and isn't one of the most used features of a smartphone/pocket PC its alarm functionality?
A solution is urgently called for.

Try cleaning up the notification queue using MemMaid
There's a demo version.

Download pmclean from pocketmax.net and use it to clean notifications.
It is freeware!

I've tried pmclean, it does clean up the notification queue, but that doesn't solve the problem of no sounds for reminders and notifications.
I hesitate to try a paid program like memmaid, since people have reported that the problem is not resolved even after using memmaid.
I find it hard to believe that Microsoft is releasing an OS that does not provide robust alarm functionality. But is it possible they have done so?

Possible, certainly.
But do try out MemMaid, they have a demo version.

Memmaid Tried
Bought memmaid v.2 and deleted all the notification que stuff. NO CHANGE. Calendar reminders still not working..GRRRRRRRRRRR
Can someone who have solved this issue soon read this que and report a solution ?

I ran into a similar issue recently, so maybe it can help you.
Do you have QuickMenu installed? If so, are you showing the battery meter on the task bar and in all programs? If you do have this set it may be the cause of your issue. Try unchecking the box to show in all titles, and see if this fixes it.
Hope this helps.

I am now experiencing this. :-(
Did anyone ever find a fix?
Thanks

Only with existing notifications?
Hi,
I do have this issue also. But only with existing notifications. When i make a new calendar item with a reminder, the notfication works.
After i've cleaned the notification queue with memaid (duplicate, dangling, expired and invalid notifications), not a single existing notification is working. But after setting the reminder again (first, set reminder to none, save, and then set reminder again) the notification is working again.
I'm testing now with memaid, which has a rebuild notification queue function. I'm hoping this function will help.
Greetz, Creda

i'm getting this problem now. my phone has been working great until this happened yesterday. i've already hard reset and it occured again approximately 6 hours later. i then fixed it using memmaid but now it's occured again. it seems when i sync to my computer it jacks it up. any fixes?
Cingular 8125
Original OEM ROM
regular applications

Add me to the list.
I have had the free plugin 'Today Agenda' but I disabled it and still have problems.
Any more updates to this issue?

Windows "Thinking" Animation

For some reason the "thinking/waiting" animation continues to pop up. Soft resents don't work. I have done a couple of hard resets to start from scratch. It just keeps coming on for 2 seconds and then disappears for about five.
Have you experienced anything similar? how do I fix it?

We need to know what you actually mean.(soz to sound patronising but this is a world wide forum and I have only just got used to 'Tethering'...)
OK, I assume you mean the busy icon (rotating symbol like the hourglass from old windows).
Do you have any automatic mail checks or any other app's that require data access running in the background? (as they will not work without the following) do you have a working internet setup?
Let the guys know these things and someone here will surely help you...

It seems like that pesky Activesync activating. Next time that happens, go look at your taskbar. Most likely its Activesync "activating".
Sometimes it happens too me a gazillion times a day. Sometimes it never happens at all. Still trying to figure that thing out.

To clarify, I am referring to the rotating red/green/yellow/blue circle. Here are the explicit details:
Unlocked TyTN II (ROM version 1.56.405.5)
3G At&T SIM I have a std voice plan and the unlimited media net internet plan
After the last hard reset I installed
Pocket Informant 2007
Memmaid
Resco Explorer
SPB Pocket Plus
I have a hotmail and gmail account setup to check the servers frequently, although that was the case before this started also.
The circle animation appears in flight mode also.

OH WOW....

review your startup apps, use a file explorer and browse to /windows/startup. List for us what is starting up in there.

Unfortunately, i just isolated the cause of that friggin wait animation. I uninstalled SPB Plus 4 and now it is gone....Here is my new problem:
I love SPB Plus!!
What do I do now?

what options of PP4 did you have turned on. I use PP4 and that never happens so it's something in your config.

Well you've grabbed smitty now who will sort ANY network prob out.. I'm off cause he blows me away in this area..
I'm just general stuff and GPS so I know when I am not wanted..SOB! BIG SMILES...

I had all of the options ticked in PP4. I guess the most important to me is the today plugin and the x close app. I will reinstall those and leave everything else out and see what happens.
This kind of sucks.

hmmm... after reinstall PP4, try this:
First, check the options you want and see if the same things happens. If it's not doing it, then maybe it was a bad reg entry on install.
if it's still doing it, then go to settings > system > task manager and make sure everything is unchecked.
My thought process on this is maybe you have the Close button from PP4 and the built-in task manager trying to compete.
Let us know...

i installed the Today Plugin, Close Button, Taskbar Battery Indicator and PIE Enhancements. It looks like smittyofdhs saved the day.
Thanks a lot, guys.

was it just a reinstall that fixed it or did you do something more? It helps to list out what steps you took to fix the problem, for the sake of future users of this forum
glad to hear it's working again....

As simply an enthusiast, not an expert, I am guessing that your advice was the solution. I don't think the reinstall by itself resolved it.
I would say that the original issue stemmed from conflict between the built in HTC task manager and the PP4 x-button.
I uninstalled pp4. Before reinstalling I disabled all function of the HTC task manager. Then I reinstalled only the PP4 today plugin, battery meter, x-button and PIE stuff.
When I have more time, I will uninstall pp4 and reinstall all of the pp4 components as i believe that the issue is isolated as described above.
Thanks again. you saved Christmas.

cool, glad it was something simple. As soon as you said you had the PP4 close button turned on I figured that was the direction to pursue.

Hi Smitty,
I don't think it is the PP4 close button as I have also encountered the problem after installing version 4.0.2. I have always disabled the close button and battery indicator of PP4 as I used WKTask and pwrstat respectively.
As the busy indicator only showed on the Today screen and I have only 3 plugins activated (PP4, HTC Home and Calendar), I disabled the plugins one by one and found that PP4 is the one causing the problem.
Checking the options of PP4, I disabled the "Refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." option. The problem disappeared. However, when I enabled back the option, I was unable to simulate back the problem.
Until now, I still have that option on but the problem has not manifest again.

glad you fixed your own issue. In ellistyle's case, my solution helped him. Maybe they are 2 different issues caused by the same app. Either way, everyone is happy with their fix.

SMS Scheduling Software?

I would like to set my Kaiser to send pre-written text messages at specific times, does anyone have any idea about any software that does this? Or anyway to do it on the phone now?
For example, next week, I'll be traveling. I would like to write a text wishing my girlfriend a happy birthday, and then have my phone send it to her at 8AM her time, which will be 3AM my time.
Or, as another example, being able to set it so to send other people I work with reminder texts, about deadlines or whatnot, without my having to keep track of doing it myself.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

you are in luck because I have found this recently for my kaiser and it works great. Does scheduling and group texting and you can save the groups too.

Ah, that's brilliant, I'll give it a try.

OK, this is frustrating as hell, do any of you professionals have any ideas??
Each night, I send three to five messages to the same person, say at 0300, 0305, 0310, and 0315.
Almost universally, the first message is delivered, as I can see it crossed off in the Scheduled Messages section of PowerSMS, and it also appears in the Messaging program as sent.
However, the remaining messages, although crossed off as sent in PowerSMS, do not appear to have been sent, and do not appear in the Messaging program as sent?
Any ideas? This is the sole reason I bought PowerSMS--to send scheduled messages to the same person, but it's only sending the first one.
I've tried everything. Soft resets. 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes between messages. Leaving PowerSMS minimized. Closing it entirely. Leaving it open on the desktop. Plugging the phone in, leaving it unplugged but with plenty of power. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sends a few messages. Most times, it doesn't.
Frankly, this is annoying. The phone works. Messages coming and going are not an issue, EXCEPT when PowerSMS is involved in sending them.
I posted much of this on the developer's site, and his only comment was: "That seems odd, and I don't have an answer for you right off the bat because the behavior is unpredictable. Does it help if you space the messages out a bit more (i.e. try to send them 15 minutes apart instead of 5)? Also, can you soft-reset your device to ensure the memory is clean and nothing else is running in the background? Then see if you can get it to send yourself 3 messages in a row 10-15 minutes apart. One guess is this *may* be related to the power management features of the device. It gets woken up at a certain time, sends the message and goes back to sleep and tries to wake up too quickly. Maybe this is causing the problem?"
Anyone here have any thoughts? What he says makes sense, but I have no idea where to go from there.

What version are you using? The newest version is 1.3 and it may fix the issues.

[Q]Google talk layout on Galaxy S

Im having problems with Google Talk on my phone.
Normally, if u start a chat. and the other person is talking back, u should see the txt under your own txt. But i only see it as a balloon in my top-tray of the phone and do not see the txt written by the other person in the chat overview.
Anyone knows how to solve this?

My gf and I also have Galaxy S phones. Her device is running on I9000XXJFB firmware, mine is on I9000XWJM2. Shes having kinda like the same problem with GTalk: the screen is splitted to 2 sides (top&bottom), instead of how mine works (the good old conversation-look, when A-B-A-B persons messages follow each other).
Maybe its firmware-dependent? I did not find any option to change the layout in the settings menu.

Firmware is probably a good bet. If you want to hold off, have you tested to see what happens if you turn the setting balloon top-tray setting off? Would you see nothing at all? Or would it populate the message how it should.
You probably want the best of both worlds, it's worth a quick test if you have any reason to delay upgrading firmware.

disabling the notification button in the toptray would be a bummer anyway because then i wouldnt be notified if somebody is messaging me.
i downloaded a beta version of Hi GTalk from the market. which is working as it should work so i guess my problem isnt solved with Talk it self, but with installing an alternative app.

i think you'd still receive the sound notification. As long as you are going an alternative app route, i'd. consider uninstalling and reinstalling GTalk, it might just be corrupted.

good point. i will uninstall it and reinstall.
[edit] hehe i cant uninstall it. its "in the factoryrom" so i see. i dont see it at the installed programs list..?

gtalk still problem
Hi, I have the same problem with gtalk, also after upgrade to Froyo any ideas ?

solution
Solution:
Change time zone to the right location unbelievable, but it works !!! layout is dependent on internal time zone.
Good luck

Line for Gear

Has anyone been successful using this app? It is the messaging app I use the most, but in its current state it appears quite useless. It claims it can be used for making calls and sending stickers, but the only option available is to turn the alarm off and on.

It used to work! I love Line and you could reply with a sticker right from the Gear. But now it doesn´t work...
Alarm off or on refers to the alerts of the Line messages, but no...doesn´t work.

Every time theres an update for GM, I dont restore data from the last GM, this has solve my problems with line. or do a fresh install of line on your gear. you can also try to have notifications on when screen is off.

Ok. One more question. Do you have notifications turned on in gear manager for line, or do you let the line for gear app handle them?
Thanks

I finally figured it out after reading through reviews. You have to have pop up notifications turned on in the line app on your phone for the program on the gear to work properly. You can use either the "simple" or "default" setting. This pretty much just makes me not want to use the app.

Thats what I meant when I recommended to have notifications on when the screen is off. you have to play with the notifications settings on the phone. Ive also notice that sometimes notifications dont get send out to the gear when you have a screen lock. How do you like it now? its pretty cool huh, I just wish they included more stickers for the gear

The app requiring pop up notifications was a deal breaker for me. Half the reason I wanted the watch was so I didn't have to turn my screen on as often as I do. I also don't want people just seeing random pop ups. I deleted it in favor of the regular notifications until it gets better.
