Calendar reminders (notifications) still NOT working, even after 602 update.....

So, Verizon Wireless released the 602 update to the Gingerbread OS for the Droid X, and the calendar reminder popups (notifications) are still NOT working properly. 
This is VERY frustrating, as I use these notifications (reminder pop ups) for everything from business related (meetings, etc) to personal (when to take medicines, etc).
It's also VERY frustrating because BEFORE Gingerbread, when the Droid X ran Froyo, there was NOT a problem with the calendar and its reminders.
I would assume that there are MANY, MANY people being affected by this issue...and I wonder why Verizon hasn't "put the heat" on Google to FIX this issue which is clearly related to the Android OS, more specifically, Gingerbread.
I used to like the Droid X very much, but now I'm counting the days until I can get an iPhone.  At least you know what you're getting, and won't have an update "break" functions of the phone.
So, Verizon, if you're listening... PLEASE get this calendar notification problem FIXED.
Thank you!!

I'm the original poster of this topic.  And let me tell you the steps that I went through to try to get this resolved, and then I'll let you know the ultimate solution that I wound up doing and am happy about (but am NOT happy about Verizon & Motorola).
1) updated DroidX to latest 602 update.
2) went into admin partition and deleted cache
still did not work
3) went into admin partition and did hard reset (complete restore) from inside the admin partition
Still did not get calendar reminders to work.
4) went into normal phone and accessed "Restore Phone to Factory Specs" from the Privacy menu in settings.  This caused the phone to do a similar hard reset as in step 3, except it also ran the beginning software (welcome to your Droid, we now have to activate your phone, etc).
Calendar reminders did not work. (REMEMBER... when I say they did not work, I mean that the reminders would go off EVENTUALLY , but anywhere from 30mins AFTER the appointment to literally HOURS AFTER the appointment).
5) Created a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT calendar at Google under a DIFFERENT screen name/account.  Configured DroidX to completely forget the original calendar and to start using the NEW one.
Reminders still did NOT work properly.
6) Once again, tried hard resets.
NOPE.  Still did NOT work.
7) CALLED Verizon Wireless and described my problem and they pretty much didn't/couldn't help and said they would "send a report to the engineering team" about the problem.
And HERE is the thing that REALLY BURNED ME UP about this WHOLE ENTIRE DEBACLE.....  my DroidX worked 100% correctly BEFORE the Gingerbread upgrade to the Android OS.  When it was running Froyo (previous OS), every single calendar reminder on my original calendar worked every single time, on time, every time.  BUT... AFTER Gingerbread, it just didn't work.  (Don't get me started with the phantom powering on of the phone after it was powered off problem that STILL exists after the 602 upgrade).
SO.......... what did I eventually do???   Well, by this time, I was eligible for early upgrade at upgrading pricing and switched to the iPhone4 (I didn't want the 4S).  AND YOU KNOW WHAT???  Using the ORIGINAL GOOGLE calendar that I used before all the above stuff happened, my reminders on the iPhone4 work all the time, every time.  These include appointments that I made 8 months ago to new ones that I make every day.  And for all of them, the iPhone4 sets the reminder chime off EXACTLY when I want it to.
Now, I realize that this doesn't address the problem for you, Ganamide (who wrote above), but for me, I finally got to the point where I had missed critical appointments with clients and couldn't wait around for the DroidX Calendar Reminder Problem to be resolved.
So Verizon Wireless and Motorola (maker of DroidX) and Google (maker of Android OS) all have "negative points" in my book for allowing such a problem to continue without proper resolution.   Apple, on the other hand, gets "positive points" in my book for making a product that is rock solid and works well.

  • Lightroom is still not working even after spending several hours on the phone w/ adobe. Suggestions?

    At first, the issue was that we had to type the serial number in every time we used Lightroom. Now, we cannot even get Lightroom to turn on even after typing in our serial number. All we want to do is edit our pictures. How do we get Lightroom to work. I've called adobe a few times and literally spent hours on the phone with them trying different things to get it to work. Still no Lightroom. Any suggestions?

    Which version of Lightroom? Which operating system?

  • IPOD STILL NOT WORKING EVEN AFTER SERVICE

    Hi,
    I can't belive this. I sent my ipod off for service because my ipod had a problem with its battery. The ipod would cut off when the indicator showed 1/2 full this happened about an hour into play. Yes the battery life was only about an hour.
    So when i got it back I was so glad but I've just been using it and the problem still persists. I have tried the battery test and the ipod fails this test.
    I cannot understand why apple has sent me my ipod back unchanged. I paid £180 for my first generation mini and at the moment it is almost useless as I have to constantly charge the battery up.
    Can anyone give me some advise??? Thank You For Your Time

    Did you get an email adress or phone numer for someone to complain too? I got 2 ipods. One broke sometime ago and we go a replacment and now both of them are broken. (Its not my PC, I use a Sony MP3 and it works fine). It is the lack of customer service that is bugging me. I have been trying to call Apple or an Apple store for days. Totally rubbish. My daughter threw her ipod out today!!! If you get a UK phone number or amail address please let me know. Cheers

  • Copy and paste are still not working even after many workarounds

    This usually happens to me randomly. I would say that there is about a 25% chance that my paste works. The copy function seems to work, but when it comes to pasting, my browser does not offer the pasting button and it stays invisible. I have disabled my firewall, disabled my antivirus, resat firefox, started in safemode, disabled all plugins, and even uninstalled and reinstalled java. I have tried everything. This is definitely a browser problem because I am able to copy and paste in any other application with out any problem. I don't like any other browser so I refuse to do so. Please help me firefox team.

    Why yes it was in fact Zonealarm's problem. Thank you very much for your answer. I will now inform Zonealarm about this issue.

  • Back to My Mac still not working even after updating to 10.5.1

    Updated to 10.5.1 on 2 machines. each machine is is in a different house but both on Verizon DSL using Westell Versalink modem/routers models 327W A90-327W15-06 with UPNP Enabled on both.
    Still nothing
    they work fine when in the same house on the same network but as soon as I move one to another house on a DSL account of it's own they don't see each other anymore.
    Verizon isn't much help with firmware updates for the modem/routers either. If I could talk to somebody that speak english it may be more helpful but so far no luck.
    Anyone having luck with Verizon DSL and this stil modem/router?

    My suggestion is to see if Verizon will let you treat the modem as a simple modem and attach your own router to it.
    I've found these Westells a pain to setup, and it took me once 2 hours to get through to a Mac specialist on Verizon's end to finally get the right setup on a customer's machine. I don't know that customer's number anymore unfortunately since this was a couple years ago.

  • The g, h and backspace on my keyboard are not working even after replacing with a new one.

    The g, h and backspace on my keyboard are not working even after replacing with a new one. I have also updated my BIOS still d same. Please help me ASAP.

    How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
    You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too. 

  • Accidentally deleted x protect meta.plist and plug in not working even after downloading latest

    Hi all
    Need some help here. It started off like this - after upgrading to mavericks, i had a problem viewing some java stuff. Googled and read somewhere to delete the x protect meta.plist and thus, did so. After doing that, my youtube videos etc all couldnt work. So googled again and did whatever the rest suggested - download latest version of Java, uninstall java and reinstall again, install other versions of java etc etc. all didnt worked.
    Someone just pointed out that I had deleted a very critical security file (x protect meta.plist) and might have more problems that I thought on my hand.
    Im not very technical or IT saavy, so please kindly advise. Most of the problems surfaced after deleting that file. And right now, plug in for videos are still not working even though I have attempted various 'solutions' suggested in this forum (the not too technical ones) and java is still cranky. Pls advise. thanks!

    Anyone able to help?
    1) How did u solve the missing/out of date plugin?
    - Have tried installing numberous times the latest version - doesnt work
    - Tried uninstalling and then reinstalled earlier versions of java - doesnt work too
    read somewhere to delete the xprotect meta plist - realised much later that piece of advice was for snow leopard OS and thus, did not work too. A forummer told me today this file is a critical security file and i should not have deleted it. WHat can I do now?
    current situation:
    still cant play youtube videos and other videos.
    java on some sites still cant work

  • Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

    My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.

    Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
    At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
    Which webcam I should get?
    Thank you very much!

    Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

  • All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

    All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes. 
    The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

    I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
    for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!
