Help Calendar

Is the calendar notifications suppose to wake the phone and bypass the lock screen like a phone call?

Mine will sound the notification, but the screen is still black (sleeping). When I wake the phone, the notification sound stops, and the normal lock screen appears. I swipe the lock screen away and a quick calendar pull down menu appears with the task/meeting. Once bypassing that, there is a screen which looks similar to when receiving a call where you slide Snooze or Dismiss. It seems like this last screen should be the initial screen.

yes, if you have the task/event set to notify you this will happen.

when you add an even or task you have the option of NO notification or to notify you a selected amount of time before the task. I believe the default is 15 minutes. If you do not want a notification you have to clear it before you save it. (the little plus or minus sign beside notification settings on the add event screen)

I have not looked but there might be a way to change the notification method or to make it default to NO NOTIFICATION. Maybe someone else knows.

I use google calendar and have it set to email me every morning with my event schedule rather than use the notification options, but sometimes I forget and get that annoying lock screen 15 minutes before.

edited to add: after re-reading your q I am not sure I helped answer your question LOL

OK this might help:

in the calendar app, go to settings and you can uncheck the full screen notification and/or the status bar notification and also change how you want to be notified (email or alert) AND change the default time settings (from none to 1 week ahead of time)

I hope this helps, because it certainly helped me! LOL

Thanks. Just tested it.

This is what I want: When I set it to notify, my phone wakes up and shows the full screen notification. By playing with the options above, that does not happen.

Thanks though!

does the "display notifications on full screen when screen turned off" have a check mark beside it?

I have tried it with it checked on and off. When checked, it does not wake up the phone - the notification alarm sounds and the screen flickers onto the lock screen then turns back off. I have to wake the phone, then swipe the lock screen which brings me to the calendar even reminder. Once dismissing that screen, I am brought to the full screen notification which is similar to when receiving a phone call or the clock alarm.

I want the phone to wake and show me the last screen noted above, just like when I have the clock alarm set.

I figured it out. You need to change the Alert Settings to STATUS BAR NOTIFICATIONS and not ALERT.
