Pop-up reminder problems
If you have problems with the pop-up reminders, i.e. that they don’t appear at all or not all the time, please do the following:- Ensure that “Settings”, “Reminders”, “Activate reminders” and “Reminders for Android calendars” is turned on in CalenGoo. “Reminders for Android calendars” is necessary if you would like to get reminders for events that are synced via Android (instead of directly with Google, please see here for differences: Accounts).
- Tap “Upcoming reminders” (above the “Test” button) and check if your pop-up reminders are displayed. There you can see scheduled future reminders and also past reminders. Additionally it shows which past reminders were displayed (lines with a small clock symbol).
- Ensure that CalenGoo’s “BackgroundSync” process is running correctly, please see here: Background process
- Check if the time of the “Next scheduled reminder” is correct under “Settings”, “Reminders”, “Information” (at the end of the list). It should display the next scheduled reminder, i.e. the next occurring “pop-up” reminder that you have added to your events (please see above how to add “pop-up” reminders to your events).
- Tap the “Test” button under “Settings”, “Reminders”, “Information” to see if a reminder can be correctly displayed by CalenGoo.
- Check the output under “Settings”, “Information”, “Log”. It should contain entries like “Schedule reminder wakeup on...”, “Notification”, “Reminder wakeup” that should indicate if CalenGoo tried to display a reminder.
If your CalenGoo reminders work now but you get all reminders twice because you get a reminder from CalenGoo and another from the stock calendar app, you can disable the reminders of the stock calendar app as described here: Disable stock calendar reminders
If the insist option doesn’t work, i.e. the sound stops by itself, please try to Disable stock calendar reminders, too.
And if you get the reminders displayed but no sound is played, please ensure that the volume for “Notification” sounds is loud enough. You can configure it in the “Settings” app under “Sound”, “Volume”:
Pop-up options to wake the screen
If you use CalenGoo’s pop-up reminder window, you can configure it to turn the screen of your phone on when a reminder is displayed. Just turn- "Settings", "Reminders", "Show pop-up window" on to get the pop-up window.
- "Display multiple events in pop-up window" to get the new pop-up window that supports turning the screen on
- "Wake screen" to turn the screen on when a reminder is displayed
- "Unlock screen" to unlock your phone automatically so that you can see the reminder screen even if you use a lock screen
- "Unlock secure lock screens" to display the reminder screen even if you use a lock screen that requires a PIN or another security feature (this might not work on all devices)
