"Reminder" continues to trigger notifications

[chaseadam]

Behavior

• receiving periodic "notifications" from etar on my phone until dismiss the event reminder notification ** (screen activates and shows Etar notification and Pebble watch vibrates with appointment event)

Expected

Single notification via phone screen and watch for each event which has a reminder

Environment

Android 10 on Essential PH-1 stock (yep, I know it is way out of date now) Version 1.0.25 installed via Fdroid

Misc

Noticed the experimental "skip reminders" but that appears to be for event attendance status filtering.

On the positive side (even though it is a "snoozed" reminder I don't want), this alert also comes through on my Pebble smart watch via Gadgetbridge as an appointment reminder.

I've noticed this same issue with Andriod 11 on a Google Pixel 4A. I wasn't sure if it was something Etar was doing, or some new Android behaviour where the OS just periodically re-triggers the notification behaviour for undismissed things from any app.

It seems to happen every 5 hours.

My preference would be for any Etar event notification to automatically go away after the event has ended.

Same annoying endless reminder here until you dismiss the notification of a reminder.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a calendar appointment with a reminder.
2. Wait until the notification is shown.
3. Don't dismiss the notification.

The notification sound is played periodically again, and again,... until you dismiss the notification.

In the logcat I've created, I found entries like the following showing up each time a notification is repeated:

For this test, I created a 5 minutes appointment (18:20 - 18:25, reminder was set to "0 minutes before the event"). I found entries for this alert in logcat at 18:20, 18:59, 19:16, 19:50, and then I stopped).

I currently run LineageOS 17.1 official (2021-04-16) on Osprey (Motorola G 2015). Unfortunately, I don't see a version number of Etar. The application is part of LineageOS. I have this issue since I installed LinageOS 17.1 (fresh install with full wipe) last year, and LinageOS was constantly updated using the OTA updater.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide to debug this bug.

Happening every day on Pixel 2 with GrapheneOS (Android 11) and Etar 1.0.25, too. Can be very annoying. :-(

[ulph0]

i am using lineageos 18.1/ android 11 amd have the same problems sometimes i am still getting notifications days later. would wish the would stop coming after the event started.

[chaseadam]

Recently switched back to etar and noticing the same thing on DivestOS 18.1 (LineageOS derivation)

[chaseadam]

possibly similar to #1031 and #791

Same Problem here (Etar 1.0.30 on /e/ 1.5 - Andriod 10). Plus notifications that have not been confirmed disappear completely after a certain amount of time. Interestingly enough the same problem does not occur with Etar 1.0.30 on Android 7. I guess it is related to the new notifications management of Android 10. (There is also an Etar notification about the scheduling of new reminders appearing from time to time) Is there maybe an option in the system notifications settings that may help restoring normal behavior?

[Saroumane]

Still having those pesky "scheduling new reminders" notifications with Etar 1.0.34

[Self-Perfection]

I occasionally get "Scheduling new reminders?" notification on CalyxOS. These notification propagate via GadgetBridge to my smart watch but I can not see them on device itself. I suppose these notifications appear for short period of time and then gets removed, but it is enough to buzz my clock and annoying.

I am not sure though that "Scheduling new reminders?" comes from Etar. Etar is the part of the OS, indeed, but source of notification is not visible on the watch.

Also sometimes I get similar spurios notifications with title "checking for messages?". This might be related.
