Cannot change calendar default reminder setting

When my calendar reminder pops up it gives me the option to end the reminder or snooze for a preiod of 5 mins. This is far too short so I went to Calendar, Options, General Options and under Actions set the Default Reminder to 15 min and saved the change.
When a reminder pops up the snooze time is still 5 minutes despite the change I made. Very annoying !
What can be done to set the reminder time to anything other than 5 mins ? Have I changed the wrong field, or is this a bug ???

I would try doing a clean software reload on your BlackBerry.
Be sure to back everything up as the process listed in KB11320 will delete all your user data and reinstall the applications only.
Before restoring any data, test the Calendar. Change the settings and try making a new appointment.
It's recommended to do a selective restore of your data. KB10339 will walk you through the restore process.
Let me know how yo make out.

BUG: Default reminder set in Live cal. even when specifying Reminder=None in Outlook 2013

Since switching from Outlook 2010 to 2013 I have been getting calendar apointment alerts on the Windows Phone and iPad linked to my Live account, even though I am creating appointments specifying no reminder.
After a lot of investigation, I can see exactly what the problem is. I have created many test appointments and exported from Outlook and examined the resulting file.
If I have asked for a reminder, "Reminder on/off" is True and specified reminder date/time is present.
If I have asked for NO reminder, "Reminder on/off" is False *but* reminder date/time is present based on the Default reminder setting. This occurs even when the tickbox for Default reminder is unticked (and there is no default setting
for None apart from unticking).
When that appointment reaches my Live calendar, it appears with a reminder, based on the date/time that Outlook 2013 has supplied, even though "Reminder on/off" is False.
Is this a bug in Outlook, which surely shouldn't be putting default reminder date/time into the data when Reminder is set to None.
Or is it a bug in Live, in that is should disregard any reminder date/time if "Reminder on/off" is False?
The reminder does not pop up in Outlook, although it does on sync'ed devices.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your update.
Based on my long-time research, seems it’s the default behavior of Windows phone. The reminder is set to 15 minutes by default and it’s not possible to change the setting by default. See:

Can't delete calendar default reminder

I am having trouble with the google calendar since upgrading to lollipop. In settings I can change the default reminder to none, but every time I put a new entry in there's always a reminder time that I can't delete. I don't need a reminder for all my entries...

This happens only with Google Calenar and not the default Xperia Calendar?

Changing OSX default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences

When I change the default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences within OSX, it is back at the lower level at the next listening session the following time I use iTunes on my Mac Mini. Within System Preferences there is a section that lets you "choose a device for sound output" but the only choice I have is "line-out" and under the "port" heading there is only "built-in output"--no other choices are shown. I have external speakers attached which I like to use for listening to music as I work. What is the problem? Why won't the higher volume I set remain? Also, shouldn't more than one choice be shown for sound output?

This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
So, any other suggestions?

Where is my text box in final cut pro? I cannot change the default text at all?

Hi, as the title says, I use a default final cut pro title or ending for a video and I cannot change the text, all youtube tutorials just show that you click on the text box, the boxes appear, and then to the right in the text window you literally just type and change it, which ive done several times before, but I just got a new mac, and now that is impossible to do, what can I do? I dont want to upload videos that say, TEXT GOES HERE

hey andy,
i think what you're gonna have to do is just hit command 4!
That should bring up the inspector where you can change the font!

Cannot change the default program to open a specific file type.

Whenever I attempt to change the default program to open a file, it automatically reverts to whatever was selected previously.
I work with a lot of .ai files and my default Illustrator version is set to Creative Cloud. CC crashes constatnly on my machine, however CS6 runs smooth as silk. I'd like to be able to double click an .ai file and have it open in CS6, not CC. When I right click > Get Info > Open with and change it, it reverts as soon as I click "Change all..."
This isn't a huge deal... only takes a few seconds out of my day but it isn't something I should have to worry about.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I just successfully changed on my .docx to open into Pages. I went the same route that you mentioned... Right click---> Get Info---> Open With and changed it to Pages. When I clicked Change All, a dialog came up asking me if I am sure that I want to change all of my .docx to open in Pages. I click accept and tested it. Now my .docx open in Pages.
So my question is, is your issue just applying to .ai files? Or is affecting other files, such as .docx? If it's just affecting .ai files, then there maybe an underlying reason for that. And it may not be able to be changed.
Just a thought.

Cannot change Hide Sent Messages setting

I have a user that had his Curve 8530 replaced. With his previous unit, he had the Hide Sent Messages setting (in Messages - General Options) set to Yes. With his new unit, everytime he changes that setting to Yes and saves the change the sent messages are not hidden. He goes back into the options and the setting is back to No. No matter how many times he's changed and saved the setting it doesn't work. He can change other settings on this screen (like Hide Read Filed Messages) and those settings remain saved. He cannot change the Hide Sent Messages for some reason. He's removed the battery and still doesn't work. We are on the Enterprise Server and I can't find anything in there that would have changed that would be preventing this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,
Nope...there is no such setting. My hope is that as they continue to develop the product, that they will even further enhance the replication of the on-device experience into Blend. But, for now, it is what it is.
Good luck!

Cannot change password in Facebook setting

Cannot change password for Facebook in settings

Even on on my iPad 4 i can not change my name and password or any other setting. You always run into a problem when Facebook has a large update that changes its User interface

I cannot change the default application program. It remains unchanged after attemting to change it.

I wanted to change the default application proram to view .jpg files to Windows photo viewer. The default program is HP Photo Smart. I went to Tools Options, went to the Applications bar, and found the file type, attempted to change the program, but it did not change it to my selected Windows Photo Viewer. I closed Firefox and restarted it, but it did the same thing, even after logging out.

Cannot change from default printer in Acrobat X by code

pp.printerName = "\\\\print server\\printer"; works flawlessly in Acrobat 9 Standard but will not change from default printer in Acrobat X Standard unless run in the console. I've checked the printer names through the console and they are listed correctly. Javascript enable menu items is checked. I've even tried creating trusted functions (which still work flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but not in Acrobat X). All other printer settings in Acrobat X change as coded once the printer is changed manually.
Any suggestions?

function printFullPEng() {
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
var pSize = this.getPageBox("Crop");
if (pSize[1] > "792") {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\HP Designjet 4000 HPGL2/RTL (Copy 1)";}
else {pp.printerName = "\\\\print-server\\TOSHIBA 4520C PCL6 - Engineering";};
pp.NumCopies = 1;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;
fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = (fv.setPageSize);
this.print(pp);
This is tied to a menu button. As I say, it works flawlessly in Acrobat 9, but will not change printers in Acrobat X.

Cannot change BBM group details/setting, on BES

Hi All,
I'm newbie forgive if I wrongly put this question in this thread..
After updating to latest asia firmware (666), suddenly I cannot change BBM group detail on my torch (9800). Therefore, now I always get unwanted notification/update from new group that I recently join.
I am on BES, using a provider in Indonesia.
Any solution for this? I just want to turn off group notification..
Many thanks

Hmm... still no answer? Is it too specific?

Cannot change the default directory for the web services

When I change the default directory the drive letter always changes back to the drive letter the project was loaded from.
Software version Labview 2009.

Did you change the default page within your code? Everytime you start the vi, it will revert to that page.
When you change the default directory (if it is a control on the Front Panel), did you right click the control and select save as default?
Otherwise, each time you re-open the VI, it will revert to the actual default value, which was the previous directory.

Change Calendar default custom alert preference to email with sound?

Most annoying aspect of the new Apple Calendar is that the preference is pre-set for 2 email alerts at the same time before each event. It's time-consuming to re-set a custom alert time, eliminate the 2nd alert and set my preferred custom alert method every time I add an event.
I want to re-set my default preference for "email with sound" and have one alert at the "time of the event" unless I choose to add additional alerts.
Is this possible?
Note: I tried changing my Alert preference to "at time of the event" in Calendar Preferences, restarted and the default still shows up as alerting me twice, both 30 minutes before even though it does show as "at tme of the event" in Preferences.

Hey fberube,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This feature is currently not available in BlackBerry 10, my apologies but I do not know if or when this feature will be back.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.
