Dear Jolla community,

I would like to report some weird bugs in the calendar notification system introduced with the latest update (1.1.1.27)

Wrong alarm time: As already reported here whenever I set a calendar event to remind me "at the time of the event" or leave it as it is, the calendar alarm rings one hour before the actual time.

Sound without notification (name of event with pulley snooze/dismiss): Sometimes the calendar alarm rings but when I unlock the screen there is no notification displayed, so I am not able to snooze or dismiss the calendar event, that makes the alarm ring another one or two times at 5 min intervals without the possibility to dismiss it.

Calendar alarm not snoozed if calendar event is cancelled: I the previous case, the phone rings but no notification is displayed so I enter the calendar and delete the event causing the reminder. After 5 minutes the calendar alarm rings again (without notification) even though the calendar event has been cancelled.

Does anyone else report these problems or is it just me?

Yes I've been seeing the exact same behaviour. Microsoft Exchange synced events in my case

None of that failures reproducible here on 1.1.1.27 (using calendar on my jolla as a standalone, no sync of other external calendars here).

Regarding alarms acting strangely... There was something similar reported with the alarm clock, and it seemed to only affect events created before the update in question. Are your calendar entries that have this problem older than this update? If, so.. can you try re-creating (editing should probably work too) them and see if the problem persists? All my events are usually just a few days old, and I have not experienced this problem..

I'm not syncing anything, all my events are on the local calendar. No, that happens also on newly created events: Create an event for today @ now+1:01, set alarm to be "at time of event", wait 1 minute and it rings. Unfortunately it is not always reproducible... sometimes it works fine. It is very annoying indeed! Is there a way to reset the calendar (delete all events at once)? Maybe that will fix it.

Hi @benna86, I was only talking about the snooze issue, sorry that i was unclear.
