Event notification fired on event time not before

[Christopher Bludau]

Create an event at 2:00.
Reminder set to 5 minutes before the event.

Wait until 1:55 -> nothing happens
Wait until 2:00 -> notification for event...

No matter what the time of the reminder is set to - it is always fired on the exact time of the event.
Which is too late in most of the cases.

Using a synced google calendar.
Calender version: 0.4.600 (05. Mar 2015)

This also happens for any events that you set up in the calendar app without syncing (So the "personal calendar)

As mentioned, make an event and set a reminder before the event, the reminder will be trigged at the time of the event and not before.

thanks, that's already reported as bug #1419001 and should be fixed in the new vivid serie (which the next ota update should be based on)

[Christopher Bludau (count-cb)]

Ok, thanks alot!

Just to make sure. The bug you linked to was about something else in the bug description.
The bug I'm describing was then mentioned in the comments later on.

"This looks like it might be two related but separate issues. [...]"

So both of the problems have been fixed? Even the one that was not part of the original bug but then was mentioned in the comments?

Sorry to bother you. Just want to make sure that nothing gets lost.
I know that sometimes it is hard to have every small detail in mind while managing bugs.

Thanks for your good work (to everyone involved) :)

@Christopher, I think your issue is the one that got resolved, the service got support to give reminders at the specified time, the remaining part/second described issue is that the calendar application default value is not optimal

Ok. Thanks again! :)
