Revision history [back]

It seems to me that calendar reminder only reminds three times if the user doesn't respond to it in any way (let's say the device is silenced and not directly in view at the time(s) of the reminder. After that, there isn't even a blink of an LED to tell the user that there's something worth noticing. I've not tested fully if the count of three starts again if the user postpones the reminder or not, but still the reminder "gives up" way before the event start time. I'm not quite sure at this point if the reminder could be postponed more than trice, either.

There's also no LED blinking for a missed reminder, and I think that is just a bug, isn't a calendar event as important to note than a message? Maybe make it configurable if not everyone wants it, but please enable it somehow.

I don't know why I can't find a matching question for this since I think this is rather basic thing that should work better. It's also been like this already long time, if not from the start, and it still is the same in 2.0.0.10. I tend to have early reminders occasionally, and as the first reminder might be too early to actually get up and go, I'd need the reminder to keep telling me that soon I need to go.
