Calendar wakes up screen and kills battery

Hi All,

What are the required settings to prevent calendar notifications from 'permanently' turning on the screen?
A calendar reminder popped up while the phone was in the belt-clip pouch and permanently turned on the screen. Read here 'permanently' as in 'turned on and did not turn off after time out or proximity sensor read'.

Only when I noticed the phone heating up and picked it from the pouch I saw the screen active and the calendar notification. Up to then a significant amount of battery was wasted as shown in battery curve going into a steep dive. After calendar notification was clicked away power consumption returned to normal.

I am expecting the calendar notification to be indicated when I turn on the phone the next time, but not by itself turn it (permanently) on (in the belt pouch) when I don't see it and waste power. I must be missing the proper settings here.

Hi, try going to "Settings", "Application Manager ", then scroll down to the app you want and when you open it you will see" Notifications " in the list, open this. Phil
