Making calendar reminders audible

Calendar Alerts

Okay so this is definitely a complete noob question and i'm pretty sure i read about it somewhere but now i can't find it. Is there a way to set up the reminders from the calendar to go off like an alarm, opposed to just notifying on the status bar? Or having some kind of tone alert?

Sorry for the noob question, any help would be aprieciated!

You might want to try checking out apps like Remember the Milk or BugMe! Lite.

The following will give you pop up alerts as opposed to notification bar icons and notices for calendar items. However, you should know that this will change how you're alerted for all calendar items, not just reminders. The only work-around I can think of is to not put alarms on your calendar items (by default), and only set alarms for those items you want reminder pop ups.


Go to your calendar.

Press menu

Press + More

Press Settings

Press "Set alerts & notifications"

Press Alert


Now press "Select Ringtone" and set up a distinctive sound for your reminders.
