Reminders Notification - Losing Display on Screen

[ms009986]

Well I feel really dumb, but I found out later that the reason I wasn't getting popup alerts was simply because in Settings under Alarms and Notifications, the box for popup alerts under Reminders wasn't checked. Duh, so simple.

So I installed G-alarm for nothing. But I'm happy cz I'm getting the popup notifications now.

Now I'm wondering whether the windows bug fix in G-alarm did anything helpful or if I'll wish later I hadn't checked it...I'm wary of applying fixes when I don't seem to have a problem, although all the G programs seem to be very well-written and maintained, so I'm sure it didn't hurt anything...does anyone know what exactly it does?

If you're referring to the program - G-Alarm is an alarm application...
If you're referring to the alarm fix - G-Alarm sets up the phone to wake up at 11:59p through 12:00a. That's because WM builds all events at Midnight, however, the phone is probably asleep for most people, and therefore, alarms/events/notifications aren't built. This is why people would miss their wake up alarms/notifications in the morning, but any other alarms/notifications later in the day would work.

From what I understand it's still an issue tho. I've checked that box plenty of times and it'll work for a while (as in maybe a day or 2) then eventually it unchecks itself. If it stays working for you that's great tho
