Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that when they set an alarm, they get two separate alarm events to dismiss when the alarm is triggered ?
I can just hit 'dismiss all', so it's not really a pain, but it is strange...
I get that for the alarms, but not the notifications. If you're getting it for notifications too, you may have Outlook Duplicates. Search for that and you'll find a removal tool.
Then again, if you're just talking about proper alarms as I am, I'll chip in to say I'm suffering from the same problem and it's a bit odd.

The appointment notification only sounds once, whereas the alarm chime can be set to repeat until answered (dismissed). Can the appointment notification be set to repeat until answered? ....so that when I come back into the office after being outside, I will here a chime or alarm and suddenly remember the forgotten appointment?
Would make sense but NO!
I keep whining about notifications... missed calls, voice mail, and appointments. No dice.
There are some third party software pieces out there that do appointment repeat alarms, can't remember the name off hand but saw it in several places. Something fairly popular.
Nice and vague!
No dice on the phone part on repeat notifications. Which to me just seems whacky.
Don't you guys try to solve the problem before asking for it?????????????
Yes you can set the appointments alarm to repeat go to sounds and notifications, notification, choose from the drop down menu reminder and check the (repeat) checkbox.
and there is also a third party software called sbp pocket plus

Msg to ArcticCat re. appointment notifications
My version of software does NOT appear to have an option to 'Repeat' the notification (the only options are Play Sound; Display Message; Flash Light; and Vibrate)....and yes, I did go through every menu item several times before lodging the question, and felt that I must have missed something!
My Pocket PC version is 3.0.12039....... perhaps I need to upgrade my software. What version is yours?
Thanks for the info. re. third party software....I will look into it.

You can search for "How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile"
and you will eventually find the solution to this repeat notifications question!
I thought this would be easy to find a GOOD app for this but it hasn't.
I'm after an app that will give reminders for notifications other than my calender and sms ones eg missed call, facebook, facebook messenger, touchdown email, etc.
At the moment I have calender snooze for my appointments which works great, and also go sms pro for messages with its inbuilt repeat reminder.
Now does anyone have one that will work for other notifications and not interfere with with my existing reminders, well I could turn go sms repeat reminders off i guess but not calender snooze.
Still Looking
Should have turned this into a battery thread about a cheap 5500mAh battery for $15. Woulda sure had replies
I can't quite work out specifically what you're after, but this seems to fit the bill.

Thankyou. Sure to give this a go.
Stupid thing is I searched a fair amount and all I found only did missed calls or text messaged etc.... Maybe I just left key words from my search and used the wrong terminology.
But this looks like it works for whatever program that has normal android notifications to be added. So can leave go sms pro out of the list and this won't duplicate the good built in repeat reminders.
Hello,
I recently started using SMS Pro per recommendations from others posting on this forum. For the most part, it works great. Because I use my Note as my pager and need it to wake me from sleep, I have it set to repeat the audible notification 8 times if I get paged with a text message. However, unlike my prior iPhone, simply viewing and clicking away the text after I read it doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy the Note/SMS Pro- it keeps reminding me the entire 8 times. This has become annoying. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do so that once I view the text and dismiss it, it will not continue to send audible alerts?
Thank you
I get hundreds of emails every day and I currently get a notification but no audio tone or vibrate as it would be going crazy. This is how I want my general email notifications set up. So that part is fine. What I do want however is for starred messages to play a tone/vibrate similar to my text messages. I went into Gmail and then Manage Labels within the menu and I confirmed that 'Starred' is set to sync all and ring, vibrate, notify once. This to me seems like it should be notifying the way I just described that I'm looking for but there is no different notification for starred messages the way I had hoped. What am I doing wrong here?
Anyone? I can't seem to get this to work no matter what I do.
I have a particular sound saved to be used for notifications. For some reason I am getting a lot of notifications with no indication of what app is triggering that sound. It's not assigned to emails or texts. While I may have set it for something, it was something that seldom triggered. Now getting a lot of them.
Is there something perhaps another app that displays all apps and their associated notice sounds?
This is aggravating! It may be something dumb I did but cannot trace it down.
Any help appreciated.
