Some people find it a lot easier to handle all calender and appointment duties on their computer. So instead of getting those annoying calender reminder pop ups 15 or 30 minutes before any appointment you can completely turn them off.
To do so, do the following:
1. On the device Home screen, click Calendar.
2. Click the trackwheel and select Options.
3. Highlight the Default Reminder, click the trackwheel, and select Change Option.
4. Select None, click the trackwheel, and select Save.





But the problem with this is that it works for appointments created on your BlackBerry, but for appointments created in Outlook, the reminder still pops up. Is there anyway to switch off the reminder pop ups completely?
Set the Default Reminder to vibrate.
Yeah, this is not really a great solution. Is it not possible to find a hack somewhere, where it simply ignores to show the stupid annoying popup every time there is a reminder?
I have my BB set to “none” for default reminder and also the same in Outlook, but I still am getting the reminder tones which are all so annoying.
It used to not do this. Any ideas on how to make the BB act the way it’s supposed to?
This is merely changing the default reminder time for new appointments. This is not what people are asking for. They want the device to stop having reminders, while Outlook continues to have them. I am gathering by browsing in Google land that there is no way to do this with the BlackBerry. I hope RIM is reading this, as this is a major shortcoming of the device.
*****SOLUTION TO STOP REMINDERS on blackberry **********
download version 4.5 firmware to the blackerry.
Click on calendar
Options
Scroll down to highlight desktop (or the calendar you wish to set).
Scroll down to display reminders
change the option to No
Be sure to click the scroll wheel again and click save.
The solution given will not stop the Blackberry from turning on for calendar reminders. I have 4.5 firmware, I have told the Blackberry not to display reminders for anything and yet it still insists on turning the Blackberry on when calendar events are due. There is simply no way to get it to stop.
