Samsung Galaxy S2 - Calendar notifications issue

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've been having problems with the calendar reminder notifications on my Samsung Galaxy S2. It was working fine, but in the last month or so it has stopped working properly.

9 times out of 10 the reminder does not go off (no sound or "pop up" notification").

I do as follows: Go to calendar - choose the date I want to set reminder for (for example November 28 - enter time for the event (for example 07:15-08:15) - Time zone is set to GMT +0:00 (I am based in London) - Calendar is set to My Calendar - Repeat: none - Reminders: On time

The notification settings are set to alert and to vibrate always.

Any suggestions on how can I fix this issue?

Can not say I use the calendar on mine. You say it used to work?

What apps or app updates have you had since then?

Hi Cicerone,

I'm afraid I can't remember which apps I've downloaded since the calendar notifications stopped working. I've probably updated most of the apps (I don't have a huge amount) since then, but as I can't even remember when exactly the notfications stopped working properly it's really difficult to say what aps I've downloaded or updated. 😞 Sorry, but I'm not the most tech savvy person.

I was quite surprised that I couldn't find a thread about this problem. My husband is having the same problem and surely we can't be the only ones!

Could be a bug in the firmware - are you both on the same versions? Other than that try clearing all the calendar app data in settings >applications
