Is there some way to setup a reminder on this phone. essentially an alarm for a future day/time? I don't want to have to fill out a whole appointment - just setup a reminder..

I hate calendar reminders, almost never use them, and I have my Google calendars set up to default to no reminder when I enter a new event. But on the Incredible, I can't figure out how to do that. When I enter a new event there is an option to set the reminder as "none" for that event. But under calendar settings, "none" is not listed as one of the options for the default reminder time - there's nothing above 5 minutes on the drop-down list. Anyone know if there's any way to do this? I just can't believe it's not an option and that I have to manually delete the reminder for every single event I enter into the calendar...

When turning it off, it would alert you it would be turning back on at your alarm time to wake you and would do exactly that. Stock app doesn't do that. I've searched and gone through market apps descriptions looking for this function. At the least I want the alarm to go off when the phones turned off. I don't need it to notify me when its turning on, when its shutting down.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a simple app to remind me if I have a missed call with a notification sound configured to my preferences. In other works remind me ever X min with sound Y.
I have read a lot of issues with Missed Call so I haven't even tried that one. Anyone having any luck with this app?
I installed executive assistant which does the job very nicely but it also does a LOT more that I don't need/like. I just want something light weight and simple.
So every text message I receive is time-stamped for exactly one hour ahead of when it is actually received. However, all of my sent messages show the correct time. This is causing the order in which the messages are displayed to be incorrect, which can be confusing.I am in the US Central time zone, and so are all the people I have been messaging so far.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new here, hope I can post this here Does anyone know if you can set a specific time for the reminder for a specific event, i.e 9:12am, I couldn't find the feature and it really annoys me as in my 8 year old nokia I could set a specific time for the reminder to go off at for the calendar event. In the desire you can only set 5,10min..1,2,3,12,24hrs.. etc, but I need the reminder to go off i.e. 4 hours before the scheduled event or at 9:12. Any app suggestions? I've got the phone for like a day so maybe the feature is there but don't think so.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a repeating alarm setting, I have the activity being launched, the piece I'm missing is having this triggered after x minutes of inactivity.
I'm considering keying off of SCREEN_OFF in a service and then setting an alarm and canceling it on SCREEN_ON, does anyone have an intent or other suggestion for this. I've considering polling for tasks, all kinds of pieces but I'm stuck.
Requirement:
- App launches, alarm is set to relaunch app after 5 minutes, user exits/app exits after one minute
- alarm triggers, detects phone is in use, resets alarm to trigger in fives minutes
- if phone is idle relaunches app for one minute
I am looking for a program that will warn me when it is time to leave to be in time for an appointment. I would like it to have the following possibilities: Reads next appointments from calendar to know the next location(s) I have to be at.If location is not known / well specified, I should have the possibility to input this - preferably with a daily/weekly reminder Knows my location (wifi/net/GPS).Knows my favorite way of transportation (car/bike/ walk/ bus). Checks the time to get from previous location to next location.Warns me with a set interval when to leave.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWith the lack of support the Eris has gotten for upgrading the OS, is there any concern that the Incredible will face the same fate in the future? Are we seeing a standard being set with the HTC phones that the OS support will be lacking? I don't know how often Android will be updated, but I'd hate to buy this phone only to see the OS upgraded in 6-12 months for other Android phones but not the Incredible.

View 21 Replies View RelatedI have to repeat alarm for between 1 day to 60 days. For example, the user can be able to repeat alarm after every 5 days, 10 days or 60 days (maximum).
Option1 ( Implemented Code
alarmmanager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, System.currentTimeMillis()+ (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), (durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000), pIntent);
Note: But it is working fine but it supports maximum 10 days(appx) repeating only after that "(durationInDays * 24 * 3600 * 1000)" it goes into -ve value so, I am unable to set maximum 60 days alarm repeatedly. AlarmManager class only supports a long value for choosing the interval between the execution of the pending intent.
Is there any other option to set repeat alarm for the no of days ?
Option 2 ( Implemented Code:
Date futureDate = new Date(new Date().getTime() + (86400000 * durationInDays));
Date dateInterval = new Date(86400000 * durationInDays);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, futureDate.getTime(), dateInterval.getTime(), pendingIntent);
Note: We set repeating alarm maximum every 24 days but when i give (durationInDays = 25; // in Days) then it takes -ve values.
Can I set repeating alarm with Calender?
I've experienced the following problems in 2.1 and had hoped that it would be rectified in 2.2. FYI I'm using a UK unbranded SIM free SGS and the stock alarm with the smart alarm feature turned on. When I set the alarm for the morning and then cancel it later on (e.g. I wake up naturally an hour before the alarm) I find that despite canceling it the alarm still goes off at the initially set time.
First of all, I was simply unchecking the green alarm symbol in the "clock" application. Then as this was failing to cancel it, I would long press the set alarm time until the option delete would appear and completely deleting the time altogether, yet the alarm still goes off. I have also noticed in 2.2 that the alarm date does not seem to be as intuitive as it was before. Previously I recall setting the alarm the night before by scrolling the time forward past midnight to the morning and the day would follow suit.
However, a couple of time that I have used the alarm the alarm has tried to enable itself for the same day as being set. However, as the clock is being scrolled forward this would often show as time to alarm 6+ days and hours. Don't recall seeing that on 2.1? Finally, is there a dedicated place where more smart alarms can be downloaded and incorporated into the smart alarm feature? I know of Zedge, White Noise and others but most are not true smart alarm sounds. Often just screen shots or clips of noises, which do not segway nicely into the start of the alarm loop when the track has completed.
I am making a app similar to a Alarm Clock as the first exercise. I would like to let my app start up itself in the specified time,even it has not been actived in the background. Just like a Alarm Clock.

It is not executed at 23:22h. What I am doing wrong? I noticed firstTime and c.getTimeInMillis() differs a lot in size and length. When I use firstTime, so when set to 30 seconds, the alarm is executed well.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have my Incredible set up to synchronize with my work's exchange server. I have a ton of meetings, and I rely upon the phone's 10-minute reminder to play an alert sound before each meeting. This is very handy. What I don't like is that there is no way to set the frequency (i.e., the repeat) for the audible calendar event reminders. It seems like they will just keep going off forever every 5 or 10 minutes, even after the meeting has started, until I hunt my phone down, turn it on, slide the screen lock down, slide the notification area down, select the reminder, and select "Dismiss". And then when my next meeting comes up again, same issue. It was driving me crazy, to the point that I simply turned off the reminder notifications entirely. Is there any way I can tell this phone, "When there is a meeting in ten minutes, please play exactly 3 audible reminder alerts: 10 minutes before, 5 minutes before, and when the meeting time has started.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is an android problem, or a samsung i9000 problem, but either way it's an annoying problem that I'd love to find a solution for ?_? I simply cant get the alarm to work for me (overnight. it's fine in the very short term). It appears to be because the clock stops moving/updating when the phone goes to sleep, because when I turn the screen back on I can see that the time is off by multiple hours, depending upon when it stopped updating, and stays that way for a couple of seconds before changing to the correct time.
Things to note here..
I do NOT use a task killer
The alarm volume is up
I have tried the alarm both with and without the Automatic, network provided time setting. The clock still stops moving. I've not updated anything from the standard (UK) firmware
it looks like its an Android bug, but my alarm & my calendar alerts are not working correctly, as well as CalWidget. My Google Cal & the Cal on the phone are correct. I had to reboot to get the time updated to what it should be today.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried several alarm clocks on my droid, and they all seem to have a problem. if I set alarms for 6:30, 6:41, and 6:52 am. Each with a different sound. If i snooze alarm 1, alarm 2/3 never goes off. i thought all 3 would be seperate, but it seems only 1 can be active at a time. unless im doing something wrong. this happens on the default alarm clock and, better alarm clock.
