What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Set reminder for 10am day of event.
  2. If look at event on calendar, shows alarm symbol with -10 hours.
  3. No reminder received.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I have android 2.3.5. I have Birthday Adapter version 1.12

Please provide any additional information below. Sorry, still not receiving reminders. Would also like the option of a "1 week" before event reminder. That way I could get my nephews gifts in the mail in time. ;-) Thank you.

Thanks for your report. I will try to reproduce it...

After testing: This seems to be a problem when an event is set as allday and also has reminders. These were not fired in my tests. This could also be a problem with the timezone of this event...

probably this has to do with the folowing bugs:

Is there any fix for this because this still seems to be an issue with Android v4.0 Maybe allow the creation of a second event that is only time specific because as you mentioned the problem is that negative reminders for all day events do not work. Personally, I think this is a big limitation of Android because even though it is an all day event, I most likely want a reminder some time in the morning.

On Android 4.0 reminders should definitely work. Are you using the official calendar application or some third-party app? If so try installing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sufficientlysecure.standalonecalendar or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar

The default one that comes with HTC sense. The reminder the day before work but not the one set during the day. It is marked as -x hours/minutes but no alarm

dschuermann commented 10 years ago

Hm this could be an issue with HTCs calendar. Could you try out my mentioned alternatives and report back?

I will try it later this week.
