Request to change Android calendar reminders into Outlook like events

[Jonny Kansas]

No problem. I was thinking about that as I typed out the directions. That's what made me think to check AK...Still not the BEST solution [if you have to put them in the calendar AND ak], but should get the job done WAY better than the alarm. Let me know about multiple notifications at the same time if you try it out!

thanks I installed it. Ill let you you know. Unfortunately it still doesn't cover all bases as it doesn't manage reoccurring events. Can't we just get an outlook like calendar? Lol.

Is it impossible to have this on a Droid? Set some example events for illustration purposes. As you see I have 2 items I can dismiss and 2 others that I am going to snooze with different settings... Why cannot Android or Google do this? Should be simple!

I was JUST thinking about this thread...I had an event reminder set for my job interview today, and when it popped up, instead of snoozing or dismissing all, I clicked it. From there, you can either change thee reminder time, or back out. Backing out removed it from notifications (dismissed it) if time's already passed, but you want a notification later, I think you can edit the event entry. Set it to a later time and set a new reminder?

Still not sure what would happen with multiple reminders at the same time, but I would think if you don't snooze, dismiss, or click them, they should stay.

No sure if that helps, or if you already tried it, but might make things a LITTLE easier...?

Can we start a petition request for android to alter calendaring in 2 ways. 1 all events become singular and not lumped together in a reminder. Most important. Add the ability to snooze each event individually and with customizable times just like in outlook.

I have missed many events because of this lack of functionality. I can't believe this phone only allows me the option to snooze or dismiss when I shud be able to open each event and handle each seperate from one another.

Maybe I'm just ranting but I hope this snowballs enuf to get me what I desire.

I agree this lack of functionality is silly. It makes using my phone for scheduling very difficult.

Has an app come out yet allowing the Droid to sync with outlook? My calender is my job.

Actually there is... Google Calendar Sync:

Getting started with Google Calendar Sync - Google Calendar Help

I am running Version: 0.9.3.5 and it has worked flawlessly syncing both directions. However, that being said, Googles calendar Sucks big time. I am constantly missing appointments over this "Snooze all" or "dismiss all" bull crap. For god sake I can speak into my phone and it can dictate a paragraph for me so I don't have to type while driving (theoretically, lol, its illegal in NJ to text and drive) but I can't get a better working calendar on my phone???

I agree with you about the calendar but what i have been doing lately is whn multiple events pop up you can click on the actual event and edit the start time. I know its not as simple but it is my current work around until something better.

Thank you! That's actually the best suggestion I've heard so far... I wonder how it will effect re occurances???

That im not sure about all my events are usually 1 time deals. but let me know if you could so i know what to expect whe setting up recurring events.
