8125 reminder alarm?

[911gal]

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I did a search and could not find an answer. On my old Nextel Motorola i730 phone I used the datebook alarm to remind me of important things. I lived by that alarm, because sometimes I think I would forget my own name unless I sent myself a reminder. (Must be my two sons sucking the brain cells from my head.) Anyway, I am desperately trying to find something with the same functionality. I would add the event and turn on the reminder for x amount of time prior, then it would either buzz at me if it was on vibrate, or make an audible tone that would not stop for five minutes or until I turned it off. When I set reminders on my 8125, nothing happens that I can see. I really, really need something that will whap me upside the head to remind me of things. Any suggestions?

Thanks! (this is how I feel right now)

whats crackin 911gal

First, go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications Tab. Change the event to reminder, and under that, you should see different notification options for that event like Play Sound, Display Message on Screen, Flash Light for.., and Vibrate. If you "check off" Play Sound, you can set the sound to repeat....and also set it to vibrate.

If that doesnt do the trick, im sure theres apps out there that you can download/buy that would work for u perfectly.

Also whenever you create a new event in your calendar there should be an option for reminders. Let us know if any of this information helps!

I have that already set up, thanks. I have it set to repeat the sound, vibrate and flash, but it doesn't. Maybe if I reset it it will work, but I really need something more. Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
