TWO problems with iphone 3G S Calendar

Question

First of all, my calendar always alerts me 10 minutes before an event regardless of whether I asked it to or not. I can select 'none' and hit done, but when I go back to the event, the alert is set to go off ten minutes before (it appears to change, but then changes back on it's own). This means when I've created an all-day event, it's waking me up at 11:50 at night to tell me my phone bill is due... So because of this I downloaded another calendar app and tried to delete all the events from the iphone calendar... and here comes the second problem. In the same strange way the alerts keep setting themselves, the events I delete reappear! I simply CANNOT delete any event I ever set to occur monthly or yearly. It seems to understand when I want to delete an one-off event (those haven't magically reappeared... yet) but not any others. I even tried changing the event to NOT be a recurring one before attempting to delete it, and that still didn't work. I think it's important to say that it seems to disappear, but will reappear after you've clicked into something else and gone back. I am definitely hitting 'done' before leaving the calendar, too, so it's not because I'm not saving it. It's really frustrating to be woken up in the middle of the night... It's the only bad experience I've had with this phone! Help!

Answer 1

my phone actually does 'sync' it just never completes the job. each time I go throught the process some things are actually done as for as changes I am trying to implement but others are not. the acytual syunc process just never stops, like I said before it will say 'sync in progress' for literally days without completing.
