I hate this.

Every time i add an event to my calendar i have to read the whole list of freshly randomized, non-fitting reminder-time-options just to set a custom one anyway.

And as my memory is completely unreliable i set like 10 different reminders a day for everything.

This is on Pixel 6a.

Is there an obvious fix i'm not seeing?

Thx! ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe try a different calendar app. Fossify calendar is pretty good.

Its fine, except it shunts "all day" events to the previous day.

The amount of times I went to roll my trash cans out Wednesday night... Trash is picked up early Friday morning, so I have an all day "event" on Thursday that reminds me periodically to bring them out Thursday night. For whatever reason, Fossify calendar shows those kinds of events a day early and it drove me absolutely insane, because there's no way to fix it.

You should report that as a bug. It doesn't do that for me. I use it exactly the same way. Maybe it's a time zone thing.

Does that synchronize with Google Calendar?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

It should. As far as I understand it all calendars on Android use Android's calendar system in the background and are basically just frontends.

It synchronizes with CalDAV, you need DAVxโต though.

๐Ÿฅด Sounds too complicated for me, thanks.
