Has anyone else noticed that the stock calendar doesn't have a vibrate option for notifications? I generally have all my notifications set to vibrate-only so this is a big problem for me. I tried two other calendar apps from the Play store but they just use the Touchwiz calendar's notification system, and even worse, when you click a calendar notification it brings the event up in the Touchwiz calendar instead of the replacement. Any suggestions for me? If it helps, I'm rooted and on the Verizon model.

Hi
I use my calendar a lot and have my G2 synced with my Google Calendar. Although (thanks partly to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542151) I have been able to customise the sounds for email and sms alerts and ring tones, I am actually trying to use an on board one for the calendar. I go to 'Calendar/Settings/Reminders/Reminder sounds' and have tried choosing 'color' and also previously a custom tone. Unfortunately, whilst I have a custom default alert sound (in general settings) and 'color' selected in the calendar as above, all my calendar alerts still go off with the T-Mobile default sound. The T-Mobile sound is extremely loud and jarring so as a heavy calendar user I am keen to fix it. Can anyone advise a fix?
i get the same - all other reminders are changed to other tones - just not the calendar. does anyone else on a T-mobile G2 have the same issue ?.
Regards
If you change the sound in calendars it defaults back to t-mobile.
To work round it, in calendar settings select individual calendars instead of all calendars and it lets you change the sounds as you want to.
I know its weird but it works
That's worked! Thanks Cydat! Bit of a poorly implemented interface feature though.
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 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.
Hi Friends,
I have HTC ONE M8 AT&T phone. Whatsapp does not show notification badges. Also, email shows notification badge but when I get into the email and come out without reading email, the notification badge is gone though there are still unread messages. Can someone help fix this please.
Thanks & Regards,

If you are referring to the little number on the icon on the home screen... then there's nothing to fix. It's working as designed.
That isn't actually a stock android feature. HTC (and Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc) customizes their home screen launcher to display unread count "badges" for the apps that are built in (email, messages, etc), but couldn't possibly do so for other 3rd party apps. In the case of email, the badge clears when you go into the app regardless of the number of unread messages. (It's more of a "you have this many unread since you last opened the app.)
If you want more functionality, you could use a different launcher (such as Nova Launcher) and a plugin (telsaunread) that supports more badges. I have no idea if "Whatsapp" is supported by nova/telsaunread, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out.
Edit: I just checked and nova launcher with teslaunread does explicitly support whatsapp.

Hi,
I also have a problem with my Icons on the top left-hand corner of the screen on my HTC One M8...
I have just launched the new Update "Sense 6.0" and now I can't see the Icons of WhatsApp, SMS, E-mails. etc. on the top left-hand corner of the screen, when the screen of my phone is locked (when I get a new message).
Do you know how I can turn it back on ?
Sam
So I have 322 the latest official 5.1 update for my mate 2.
At first the lockscreen crash was no more with CM locker, recently CM locker got updated and the problem returned... this is issue number one.
Issue number two is ever since I upgraded to the first test version, notifications for email applications like onetype, islamic prayer application, viber, etc... do not run in the background it would seem and I get no notifications of emails no push, etc...
Even the clock app, it dissapears from the notification area if I close it, so only way i can use my alarm before bed is if i leave the clock app open.
What's up with these issues and how do I fix them?
I don't use the default launcher I use nova
No one?
I have never heard of anyone else having these issues. The only thing I can think of is to either factory reset or wipe and re-flash the ROM, but those should be a last resort.
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.
