How do I set my calendar reminder to a default time of 1 hour? When I had my BB, I was able to set it and forget it. Right now on my phone, it's set to none and after every entry, I have to set it.
In other words, whenever my appointment is due, say like a doctor apt.at 1045. At 945, I would get a reminder. I don't want to have to do it for every entry. Is there a better way?

If you're using your Google account to sync all your events between your phone and Google Calendar (on the web), there is an option in Google Calendar's web interface (go dig around in the settings menu) where you can set the default notification time for events.
If you've set specific notifications for individual events, changing the default time in Google Calendar will not change those individual events, however it will change the notification for all events without a notification already specified.

1. calendar notifications on weekend for work calendar - I dont want my work calendar to send notifications. Also I dont want notifications during nighttime. Is there any way to control this in stock calendar app? some other calendar app?
2. When bunch of notifications appear, how can I say, remove all notifications? (After I have reflashed a new ROM and resurrected 50 apps using TB .. I would like to get rid of all those notifications ..)
Thanks
1) you can set work email to not sync or not have any default reminders. I know on the Google calendar, you can disable notification(but it'll to apply for alldevices the calendars is syncing to
some Roms, youcan set profiles to disable alerts. custom apps like tasker cando it too
2) there should be a clear button on the drop down notifications bar

I do need work calendar (exchange) synced and only give reminders during work hours
I want google calendar (personal) to give reminders during weekend hours
No reminders during night-time. Its no fun to wake up at 3 am .. because someone set their reminder 10 hours before actual meeting
I will look into tasker

Thanks! I should have seen it!!
Another thing I tried and worked -> swipe the notification away. (not useful to clear all, but to clear one by one)

I found an app that works perfectly for my needs. Timerific. Its free and easy to use.
Muddco proudly announces the release of Easy Schedule, an app for Windows Phone 8
Easy Schedule is a free Windows Phone 8 app that simplifies entering calendar entries by remembering your information so you don't have to reenter it each time you create a new appointment.
It can be a LOT of work to use the standard calendar app to enter an appointment:
- First you enter the Subject, Location and Start Date & Time.
- Then select the length of the appointment or Custom.
- If you selected Custom you have to enter the End Date & Time.
- If you want a Reminder alert other than 15 minutes, you have to go to a new page and enter that.
- Then, when you go to enter another appointment, you have to do it all over again.
Easy Schedule has all of the input fields on one page, plus, it can remember all of your input from the last appointment. That way, when scheduling multiple appointments, such as your work week, all you need to do is change the date and you are done!
Features
- All input fields are on one page
- Options to remember the content of each field
- You can set which input fields to remember, or just say "All"
- Option to have the appointment's end date be automatically set to the start date
- Interfaces to the built in Calendar app so you can change Calendars, add Attendees, etc., before saving the appointment
You can view the Easy Schedule app page HERE.
I noticed in the calendar settings there is not place to change notification settings. I really would like to set the default reminder time so I don't have to do it every time I create an event. Anyone figured this out?
Hi,
The built-in calendar app does not appear to have a default reminder setting. I have to manually add one for each new event. Am I missing something?
I tried Google calendar, which does have this option. However, the problem is that both apps will generate notification. How can I disable the one from built-in app?
Thanks
Looks like the built-in app can't be disabled and there is no option to add default reminder.
Work-around: use Google Calendar as default app but turn off notification (in setting -> General).
Hi all. I've seen a few posts around this, but not asking the same questions I have. I'm new to the Mate 10 Pro but I've used a long list of other Android phones. This MIUI is really starting to bother me.
One of the issues I have not been able to overcome is around customizing sound notifications. I'm not a fan of the default Huawei Messaging app, the Mail app, or the Calendar app. I attempted to switch back to Google apps for all f these, but I immediately found issues.
When using the Huawei Calendar app, my shared calendars were not being shown and were not listed in the available calendars to show. I installed the Google Calendar app and was able to go in and select them. At that point, all my shared calendars showed in both apps. I uninstalled the Google Calendar (thinking I just couldn't find the setting in the Huawei app), but then my shared calendars disappeared from the Huawei app. I installed the Google Calendar, and had to go in and select the shared calendars again, in order to get them to show. So now I am using the Google Calendar, but I set a notification for appointment reminders, and it still defaults to the default sound. If I go into the Huawei app, I can see my custom sound, but if I go into the Google Calendar, the option to set a custom sound is not available (not greyed out, just missing). My other Oreo phone running straight Android has the option.
On the Huawei Messaging app, I found I didn't care for the look/feel, so I switched back to the Google app. However, it has the same issue as the Google Calendar app. I go in to set a custom notification sound, and the option is missing. Again, it's not just grayed out, it's not there.
I was able to use the Gmail app and set my custom notification sounds for each mail account, so I know it's possible with SOME third-party apps, just not all.
I had set my theme to use a darker color, but inside the Google apps, they still default to the white colors, so this gave a little bit of a hint. If I go into the Google Calendar app (very white interface despite my theme settings), click the hamburger bars in the top-left, go to Settings, click General, scroll down to Notifications (Notify on this device is ON), click Calendar notifications, I get sent to the Huawei Notifications Management page for the Google Calendar app (dark theme, matching the rest of my Huawei theme). I can enable the Ringtone notification, but I cannot customize it. On or off, that's it. It's the same thing in the Google Calendar app.
Am I missing something here?
I don't think so. I just noticed this myself. Huawei's implementation of Oreo seems to have dropped the ability to customize your sound choice in the notification channels each app presents. You can turn the ringtone on or off, but not change the sound. Major-league fail on their part.
I'm glad it's not just me, this was driving me crazy. I'd agree, big miss on Huawei's part. Hopefully it'll be fixed in a coming update.
I wouldn't count on it. I've seen threads about it dating back to November. I'm using a third party app (eNotify) to customise my SMS notifications.
