[Bug 1440111] Re: [calendar] Reminder notifications are not integrated into system notifications

 

I'm plagued with calendar event sounds due to bug #1533681. Obviously,
that bug should be fixed on its own, however it got me thinking about
event notifications. A couple of ideas from IRC to throw into the mix:

07:57 < jdstrand> more constructively, I think being able to choose if event notifications should sound or not and having event notifications show up in the notifications area would be great (if the event sounds are on, perhaps only show missed events there, otherwise
07:59 < davmor2> jdstrand: I think the solution is in the indicator have silent mode, night mode and holiday mode. and then have the settings for those be adjustable in sounds in the settings app to suit the indiviuals
08:01 < jdstrand> davmor2: you are talking about the notifications indicator? yes, that would be nice because making it silent wouldn't prevent incoming call sounds.

If changing notifications indicator sounds, I wonder if would/should
quiet incoming texts...

  [calendar] Reminder notifications are not integrated into system
  notifications

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The calendar app does not use the standard notification system. You
  can't find it in the "Notifications" area of System Settings, and it
  uses its own notification sound regardless of what is set in "Sound".

  Also, reminders are not muted when the phone is in silent mode (I
  guess it's related).

  I'm on bq Aquaris, r20 and with the latest calendar-app.

  UX Comment:

  Calendar Notifications need to be overhauled:
  -- Calendar Notifications are displayed for too brief a period and should conform to the same timing as other notifications.

  -- Calendar Notifications are not currently appearing in the
  notification tray within indicators and should be.

  -- Calendar Notification title is misleading ('Alarm') and should make
  clear that the notification relates to a calendar event ('Event') and
  not a alarm-clock event.

  -- Calendar Notification's should NOT override silent mode (unlike
  clock-alarms) although the notification should still be displayed,
  appear in the notification within indicators and cause the device to
  vibrate (if enabled) - This is accepted/common behaviour for
  notifications of this type on mobile.
