As far is I can tell there is not a global setting for turning off the alarm on the calender. Whenever you create a "Schedule" event on your calender the default seems to be for a "Reminder" alarm to go off "On Time"; that is to say the alarm will go off at the exact of your scheduled event. However, when you first create a "schedule" event you can scroll down to "Reminder" and choose from "On Time", "10 Minutes before", "30 Minutes before", "1 Hour before" or you can choose the one you would want which is "No Alarm". You can also find options on that screen for controlling what kind of alarm you want including the choice of having a "Vibrate only" alert to you scheduled event. You can always go back and "Edit" any events that are already scheduled and deselect the alarm for those events.
If you don't want to mess with the different alarms and alarm settings you might consider creating from the "Create Event" menu either a "Task" or a "Note" for a particular date on the calender. There are no default alarms associated with either of those. Create "Note is very easy to use. Just select a date and you can enter the time and other appointment information in the "Note" area of the "Create Note" screen.
From what I have already experienced so far, some WM6 builds seem to be prone to have their notifications queue messed up.
Google for 'checknotifications_arm.cab', intall it on your device, and tap on 'Options > Settings...', tick both checkboxes there. Tap ok,' and 'Clear', at the top of the application's screen. Your notifications queue will be free of garbage, now.
Then, go to your Calendar application, choose a day which has the next events with notifications (reminders), Edit each one of them twice: one to delete the Reminder settings, and another one to reset them (you'll notice that at the 2nd edititing action for each event, the Reminder settings will be shown as they were, prior to their deletion - less work to be done!). This will set Calendar entries in the notifications queue.
Your reminders should work from now on.
Hope you are able to sort your problems out.
Cheers!

i really don't think you can snooze a calendar item,it is designed to remind you only of your event and current schedule. unlike alarm which you can snooze every 5 minutes..it can only be repeated everyday up to every year...
Hi there!
Try to click the bell icon when you set your alarm and see if you have checked the box for "play sound".
Also, verify if your volume is up and not in "Off" mode.
Also, go to Settings, click Sounds and Notifications. Verify if you were able to check the "Enable sounds for programs" box and make sure the notifications box is checked.
And on the notifications tab select "Reminders" from the drop down menu for "Event" and ensure that "Play sound" and "repeat" are checked.
Hope this will solve your problem!
Hi, I don't think it has the function to set for individual days but as an alternative you could try going in to the calendar and setting up a date/time and setting up a reminder alert. You can change the alert to custom time of your own. i.e 1 minute prior. not ideal as more fiddley way AND you would think such a phone would have function to set alarm for other days. anyway hope this helps.
This is what I got from Samsung when I sent them a summary of the calender failing to deactivate, even after the appointment was removed.
Mine has been quiet for an hour so far:
Thank you for your inquiry. How Do I Reset My SCH-u740? To reset the handset follow the steps below:
While in standby mode, press the OK button for Menu
Select Settings & Tools, using the navigation keys
Select Phone Settings (6)
Select Security (6)
Enter the lock code, default password is the last 4 digits of cell phone number, unless it has been changed
Select Reset Settings (3)
Highlight Yes, using the navigation keys
Press the OK button to confirm resetting the handset to factory default settings
Note: All settings (Except Contacts) are reset to factory default settings
I can solve this problem drop the phone on the floor, the problem is that the programming of the phone has messed up and is keeping the vibrating going so either buy new phone or keep dropping the phone till it stops vibrating
