Nokia :: N900 Calendar Default Setup : Alarming 15 Minutes Before Event - How To Change Settings
Jan 23, 2010
N900 calendar has one irritating default setup: alarming 15 minutes before event. How can I make this alarmingfunktion as non-alarming default (so that I dont need to remember everytime change this alarming off when making a new event) ?
I have a problem with the n900 internet search engine. When I type any word in the address bar the search engine is Google Spanish & accordingly the results are shown primarily in Spanish. I bought the phone from the UK & the regional & language setting in the phone is set to English & United Kingdom.
Does anyone know how to change the default Calendar settings? Each time I schedule a meeting the time change does not reflect an hour block of time, it has the meeting begin and end at the same time. Also, I have to manually select the alarm button each time.
My calendar is synced via corporate sync to an outlook calendar at work. When I add an event to the calendar I am constantly having to press "settings" to bring up "show more options" so I can see the "privacy" settings and change the event to "public."
Is there a way to make the default calendar event setting "public?"
I've set up the email on my phone, and its working fine, but the POP3 settings page keeps popping up randomly. Anyone know how to correct this. Not sure if its an issue when the phone drops out of my home wifi connection and is trying to connect via wap.
Also how do you change between normal text entering and the predictive entering?
IPhone 4 running 4.0.1. Happened on 4.0 as well. This is the second time this has happened. Look at the center email...anything look funny? It won't let me delete and eventually changes to a date in the year 2000 then randomly will go away. It just shows up on it's own. Email setup with default gmail account settings.
I use the default Calendar app on my S5 with several Gmail accounts, all which have default reminder settings. None of those accounts will use my default for calendar reminders, even after Syncing and rebooting. I've gone into my phone settings and searched for Notification, Reminder and Calendar and none of those settings have default reminders. I can only select to enable to disable these options.
My Bravo has begun not synching with my computer's google calendar. When I tap an event that I created on my phone, I get the the following message in the blue box that should contain the event details " fake event to work around a calendar issue" How can I fix this? Googling that phrase has led to several other folks having the same problem, none with solutions that I can find.
I have the Verizon S5 SM-G900V running 5.0, I use OK google to set up things like the days I work, Where I'm working, Who I'm working for, Dr. Appointments etc. Well when setting up these things using OK google voice command it automatically defaults to reminding only 15 minutes before the event. I need a full day notice so if someone asks me a day before hand if I'm available the next day I'll already know. Instead as it is right now if I forget I have Dr appointment it only gives 15 minutes notice and with my Dr being 45 min drive away this is just not sufficient. (MORE DETAIL) I am in fact using the google calendar on my phone and not the samsung calendar.
I have went to google calendar on my laptop clicked on the gear and went to calendar settings and changed that to default 1 day for both settings listed there and saved. I know this won't change past submissions but it didn't default to 1 day on new submissions on OK google. I even manually synced the calendar and tried again. The old phone I had (LG Exceed 2) allowed me to set a setting in the calendar settings to default events to remind 1 day in advance. But no matter where I go in the S5 (google settings,calendar settings, OK google settings) Or even web calendar settings I can't find a way to make it work?? This is a big nuisance for me to have to manually change it every time.
Small question: Can I have the next meeting or next event from my calendar appear on the home screen. From now, I just have the next event for the current day, not for the seven next days (before this nokia I had a WM phone and I can read the next event on the home screen for the next 7 days, it was very fine). I didn't found any parameter on the phone or any idea on the forum.
I have the Curve 8520 and I use the In The Know theme with the bottom sliding dock. I uninstalled Facebook from my BB but for some reason only calendar appointments that have the "sent with Facebook" at the top show up on my theme's calendar home area.
I want facebook completely GONE from my black berry but there's no calendar option that lets me get rid of the "Facebook calendar" or at least change it so when I make a new appointment it defaults to starting with my email instead of stupid facebook.
So I go into the android calendar to setup an appointment. The default reminder is a notification (just a popup on my phone). I have to click on the reminder each time and change it to Email. Is there a way I can change the default option to email instead?
I have three email addresses in my blackberry, one appears as the default...does not allow selection of either of the other two. How can I change all my calendar events and the default to one of the other email addresses vs. the one that displays by default now?
When my calendar reminder pops up it gives me the option to end the reminder or snooze for a preiod of 5 mins. This is far too short so I went to Calendar, Options, General Options and under Actions set the Default Reminder to 15 min and saved the change.When a reminder pops up the snooze time is still 5 minutes despite the change I made. Very annoying!What can be done to set the reminder time to anything other than 5 mins ? Have I changed the wrong field, or is this a bug?

Just got my N900, trying to setup Nokia Messaging (which works on my E71). Installed the latest update OK. I'm connected through Wifi OK. Mail - Setting - Choose Region - Choose Nokia Messaging, Enter account details - all correct. But then the next screen shows the normal settings for a POP3 or IMAP Account, asking for port numbers etc.
I have tried setting up my Yahoo account on n900 but unlike gmail and hotmail accounts have not been able to setup Yahoo. If anyone has successfully setup Yahoo account using Australian setting, there help would be appreciated. please bear in mind my account ends in .com not .com.au
I'm running os6 on my 9700 and the calendar won't let me change notification method for different appointments. At the very top of the appointment page, the field labled 'Send Using' i.e., Facebook, email. How do I change this?
I have an email account on my iPhone that is from my old employer. I know how to "delete" the email account in my settings, but when I did that it removed all of my saved notes from within the past 6 months from the iPhone's original "notes" app, as well as removed my events that are saved in my calendar app. So I re-added the email account (which is an additional email account connected to my yahoo email that my employer added for me in the past (I no longer work there, so I don't need it). The strange thing is that when I bought my phone, I set everything up through a different Yaho account. How can I remove this email without loosing my notes and calendar events?
How do I set opera mobile as the default browser on a Nokia N900? I want all websites, e.g. links in emails, etc. to automatically open in opera mobile not in microb.
My N900 has Scandinavian (Finnish) keyboard. After installing a couple of games(Duke nukem 3d and Abuse) and I think one of these probably crashed, it got left in US keyboard mode (I think). I see that there is a new file created called /home/user/int_kb_layout that has string "us" inside it. Just deleting this file and restarting the phone does not help. Searching around I find that perhaps some tool called /usr/bin/gconftool-2 might need to be used, but I got more confused. Therefore I might ask in general how one can get back their default keyboard maps for their N900?
Does any one know to return the mobile back to factory default configuration? I mean if I wish to reset my phone back to factory default setting " as shipped status" can this be possible any time?
Can anyone help me to get the SIP setting for my Nokia N900. I tried to set it.. but i couldnt sign in yet. I am using Smartvoip (Smartvoip.com) as voip service.

When I select my Calendar I only see the month view and the N900 is still running to open this application. I can not use the calander. I think the calenderfile is corrupt. How can I make my calenderfunction on the N900?After start the calender, all the Widgets will not work either.
Just bought myself a N900 thinking it would be just the thing to replace my aging Sony Clie PEG-UX50 and my SE K750I. After much messing around I have managed to export my calendar from the Clie and also Thunderbird (Why no Thunderbird synch in PC Site??) only to find a number of really basic features arent available:-
1) Events cannot repeat on anything but a day of the month. If an event is on the 17th of every month that is fine. If however you want an event on the first Monday or the second Tuesday of every month then I cant see any way you can do it. Am I missing something?
2) Birthdays. There are some Birthdays I want to remember but I dont have contacts for the people they are for. Friends children for example. Why cant I enter a birthday directly in to the Calendar app? The Birthday Calendar is there and is local but the only way to put an entry in to it is to create a contact and add a birthday.
3) Reminders. Why cant I have a reminder at any time I want? Days, Weeks or Months earlier? I only seem to be able to set a reminder at some time during the day before the event.
These are all such basic features of a calendar application that I cannot see why they are not there. My Clie does them, Thunderbird does them. Outlook does them Am I missing something obvious? If not is there an improved version coming? Is there another app out there that will do what I need? (Please no Google Calendar I didnt buy this to use Google). The inability to handle repeat events and reminders are really a show stopper for me.
