Revision history [back]

I've seen different request/issues about configuring/disabling alarm tones and or notifications about birthdays of contacts, but I have the opposite problem: I never receive any notification about birthdays, and I find no way to enable them. Reminders for events I create in my default calendar work as expected.

Most of the birth dates in my address book come from facebook profiles, if that has any relevance.

EDIT: I did a backup of my contacts. In the created all.vcf file not all birthdays are in there. Some contacts have birthdays defined in the people app, but not all birthdays are present in the written file. Even after deleting and adding the birthday again, it is still not present in the (again) backuped contacts file. I have no facebook/exchange/google contacts sync active/configured.

EDIT: still no alarms/notifications for birthdays with SFOS version 1.1.1.27

1.1.2.16 Any news on this feature? Will we have a working birthday reminder in SailFishOS 2.0?

1. What about having notification only (no alarm) on the Events view and the Lockscreen?
2. Or add checkmark to each contact for activate birthday reminder. Disable it by default to let the user choose for which contact he wants to have reminders for. This will also help with contacts imported from facebook as this is the reason reminders are currently disabled.
