E71 (S60) Calendar reminder alarm too long (1 minu...

Using an E71, but suspect this is an S60 issue:
Why does the Calendar reminder alarm last for an entire minute repeat the tone continuously until 60 seconds have elapsed? While other alarms like sms, email only invoke the tone once?
As an ex-Palm Treo user, I was used to being able to set the number of times I can repeat the tone (e.g. 1, 2 ,3 times).
How do I configure the phone such that the calendar reminder only triggers the (e.g. beep) tone, 2 or 3 times? I couldn't find any config on that. Is there any work-around or 3rd party software that can do this?

I also have this. My outlook calendar is the key and I like to have reminders. The fact that the alarm goes of during 1 minute sound is terribly annoying, I'd just like to have a reminder with a SMS-like sound, something I can customize at least (sound + duration + number of times it repeats...).
Anyone has info about this? I am using a E71 too.

ICal stopped because of too long reminder text

I have copied a text into iCal as reminder, but apperently this text looks too long and therefore every time I start up iCal on my Mac it kind of crashes.
I can see my calendar but not add or change anything.
Does anyone have the same experience and can anyone tell me how to solve this issue.
iCal still works both on my iPad and iPhone without any issues, but on my Mac is crashes instantly when I start it up.

I solved the issue myself by removing 'reminders' via my iPhone, update iCloud, and voila iCal works again on my Mac :-)

Lotus notes calendar one-way sync - reminder/alarm problem

Hello Everyone,
I haven't found a proper answer to this so posting here. Hopefully I will get a quick answer from some of the experts here.
BB Desktop Manager version: 5.0.1.37
Device: Curve 8900 4.6.1
Lotus notes version: 8.0.2
I use BIS with tmobile and have my gmail emails delivered to my device.
I am doing a lotus notes one-way calendar sync with my BB calendar. I am able to do this successfully. But the alarm & free/busy thing does not sync.
Even though I have alarm set in my notes which works perfectly and I see the notification 15 mins before the meeting on my PC. They don't show up in BB calendar. In BB Desktop Manager-> map fields, the notes 'notify me' is mapped to 'device alarm flag' but when I open the details of an entry that BDM is going to make in the accept/reject screen these fields are empty. I am using the default field mapping in the desktop manager.
All reminder works for the entries that I create directly in BB. The device calendar reminder is set properly. No issues there.
What should I change in the desktop manager so that I get a reminder in my BB for the lotus notes entry?

Hello ggap10,
You can try to enabled an advanced logging of the Calendar to see where the alarm flag is not populating.
KB01451 will guide you through the process to enable the logging.
If you need further technical assistance, you can call your service provider.
Thanks and have a great day!

Reminder Alarm Time on Blackberry is incorrect

When users create any appointment in calendar, as soon as the
acceptance is on his BB, the Reminder Alarm on the B pops up.
-BB shows alarmtime = 58218655
-Only users on my secondary PostOffice have this problem.
-Appts are created on the PC (I have not tried creating one on the BB)
-It doesn't matter if its accepted on the PC or on the BB.
-Syncs appears fine for creating, reading, accepting, example:
when you read the appt on the BB, it syncs that action and it
shows up as 'read' (aka unbolded) in GW on the PC.
-Alarm time is only visible after its been accepted
-PC always shows Correct Reminder Alarm time = 5 min
I found a similar issue reported in this link:
Synch with Groupwise Causes alarms to be set at 12... - BlackBerry Support Community Forums
However, the solution there was confusing to me. "install 7.0.3 HP1" But do I install that on my BES server or the PC? It didn't say what version was on the PC originally. Currently I have 7.0.3 HP3 installed on the users PCs and on My Server.
Please Help,
Should I downgrade my GW client back to HP1? On my BES server?
Is there a Post-office Setting I can check?
How can I verify what HP version I have installed on my Server components, such as my Post Offices? I believe I am running 7.0.3 on all components of my GW system.

WEP key too long to input in Nokia C3

Has anybody run into this problem? I was able to enter the key in E71, N8, but not C3 as it was apparently too long. It would not accept any more charaters in the input field.

how long key are you trying to use ? is it ascii or hex ?

My book will not up load when I try to buy it. Can the book be too long?

How do I remove Completed items from the Completed Reminders List? The list is growing too long.

How do I delete Completed items from the Completed Reminders List? The list is growing too long.

The little box, next to the reminder on the reminder page. Touch it, and it puts a check mark there, i suppose to mean completed. Leave the app. When you go back, the items are gone. ( at least on mine...)

6120c & Outlook - reminder alarm problem

Quick problem with appoinment alarms.
I have my appointments in Outlook on work PC.
I connect the 6120 to the PC and use Nokia PC Suite to sync it. This works fine and my diary appointments come to my phone calendar nicely.
HOWEVER on the PC I have set many all-day events. When they go to my phone, they come with a reminder alert set, for an all-day event this is 0600. So if I have a reminder such as "Rostered day off" I get woken at 6am to be told about it!
When I go to sync'd appointments on my phone, created in Outlook not ones created on the handset, there is no option anywhere to edit the reminder alarm – but the appointment shows a reminder icon is present!
In outlook, the work day is configured to start at 0800 so I had hoped that that would be the earliest alert time, but no.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Sorry to recover such an old post, but I suffer the very same problem and this is the only information I have found on the forums. I own a Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic with software v10.10, which is synced to Outlook 2010 using Ovi Suite 3.0.0.29. On every friend's birthday, I get woken up at 6am. I searched the forums, specially the Ovi forum, but this is the only reference I found and with no answer.
Is there any update on this problem? Or any configuration to be set in Outlook or the mobile, so alerts get delayed?
Thanks for any help!

Why is it when you set a calender event in outlook 2010 (in UK) with a reminder alarm for 30mins prior) and have the iphone set to keep the appointment time relative to the local country time that you travelled to, the alarm time is still at uk time ?????

why is it when you set a calendar event in outlook 2010 (whilst i am in UK) with a reminder alarm for 30mins prior to the appointment time) and have the iPhone set to keep the appointment time relative to the new country time that i have travelled to (this works OK), the alarm time is still relative to the UK time and not in sync with the local country time like the main appointment is.
Does anyone know the answer please.

This has to do with the Time Zone Support selected in your phone. If you check in Settings>Mail, Contact, Calendars, there is a setting for Time Zone Support at the bottom of the page under Calendars. If that is turned to off, the calendar should support the local time. Because time is set to Automatic (since you say the time is correct on the iPhone), it is reflecting the local time. That information comes from the carrier, not the iPhone itself. You can check, however the iPhone says that if you turn off the Time Zone support, it should reflect in the local time. Do a test, if possible, and see if that will do what you are asking.

Apple calendar reminder is really poor

Apple calendar reminder is really poor, it makes a beep ones and then its gone... pleeeease apple, include the option that the user will be reminded until canceling the reminder. I have never forgot so much things as when I bought the Iphone..
And on the locked screen I would like to have all my calendar meetings for the complete day.
now it only shows the current calendar meeting that just happends, and only for a short time... then it goes away.
When I put something in my Calendar then I want to have this as a "to do" list for the day..
Pleeease Apple, I like your phone a lot, but Pleeeeeease lets help out and make the calendar usefull.
I am used to have Nokia, and there it was good. And all my friends have the same opinion.
Lets bring Iphone to the leading position in the market!
Kind Regards Fredrik

Many thanks for your reply :-))
Calendar alarm tone can be configured
Settings > Sounds > Calendar Alerts
-yep, this is not the big problem
You can set the alarm before the event twice.
-how? :-)
Use Reminder app for your To-Do list.
-Does Reminder app sync with the Calendar? I add most of the reminders in outlook on the computer..
There are tons of Calendar apps in the App Store which might suit your particular needs.
-found no one that works...
The iPhone is already leading in the smart phone market (in revenue)
-Nop.. most other smart phones has this functions... only apple is 7 years behind... (I had it perfect on my nokia)
By the way, there's no apple here, just us users.
-sad....

E52 two things - calendar reminder and text sendin...

Hello.
I'd like to ask if it is possible to make calendar reminder on the home screen display only events from the very same day and not from the future days?
Also - in s40 phones it was possible to cancel text sending during sending. I mean until the text was actually sent I was still able to cancel it. Can I do the same in s60?
Somehow I can't find it...
Regards,
DonAndress

Thanks, mate, for your hint but unfortunately you seem to be mistaken. If by 'red" button you mean the end-call button then I do this every time because I don't want to wait for the phone to show me the inbox. And I used to do it even before you gave your input. So for me that's not the correct answer.
As for the reminder - I didn't understand that.
Let me clarify what I would like to achieve. I put meeting entries in the calendar for let's say every second day. So when I look at the calendar reminder on the main screen, I would like to see the entry only from the current day and not for next days. Is that possible?
Regards,
DonAndress

Calendar reminder tones

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have a lumia 635 and have changed the calendar reminder tone to play a proper song. However, it only plays for about 2 seconds so if I have put my phone down somewhere chances are I won't hear it. Is it possible to set it to play for longer, maybe a minute, and if so, how? My previous Asha 201 played until I switched it off!
I have also seem some threads of people complaining about not being able to choose when the reminder plays and I would like to add my voice to that campaign. Again, on the Asha 201 it was completely customisable for each event.

snowfan,
go in to Profiles - advanced -active profile -second option is calender there you can set tones for your appointments/reminders both in holster and out.
Let me know if this helps or you can't find it.
