Can no longer disable calendar notifications after Jelly Bean update... any workarounds?

[ultimatebob]

Hi Gang,

I noticed that I'm no longer able to disable full screen calendar notifications after I installed the Jelly Bean update to my Galaxy SIII.

Even though I can disable the option in the calendar settings, it re-enables itself when I restart the phone.

Has anyone found a workaround for this, or do we know when Verizon will issue a patch to rectify the issue? The full screen calendar notifications are really annoying.

Could someone at Verizon at least pretend to care about my problem and give me a response?

While there are a few Verizon Wireless employees from their social media teams that roams the community and can respond to unanswered questions. They participation is sporadic and isn't guaranteed.

Maybe you should read the Terms of Service here. Such discussion on modifying devices isn't allowed.

For what it's worth, I found the solution to my problem on another forum:

Perhaps someone else will find the fix useful.

Thank you for posting the fix you found, not enough users do that.
