yesterday and today I failed to receive some (maybe all) of my sms reminders. This morning I have not received either email or sms reminders for one particular appointment.
I'm losing my confidence in Sandy. Today I tried to set up a reminder via email. I got the confirmation email of the reminder being set up an hour after I was suposed to be reminded. I sent the email 8 hours before the reminder was supposed to happen.
the @reminder .... before tag is not working with emailed items. I tried both of these: @reminder 1 day before and @reminder 30 minutes before. The later was shown in the 'cheat sheet' as an example. Any and all other tags work in conjunction with, but the reminder tag is ignored and no reminder is set.
For example, I need to be reminded to check my email every one to two hours. So if I want her to send me a reminder every two hours, how do I set that up without having to manually ask her to remind me each and every time?
Sandy can't send me tweets. Reminders aren't coming. Using the "Test" on the Twitter settings at iwantsandy.com gives an error message
"Oops! I wasn't able to send you a tweet. An unexpected error occurred."
Directr SMS has never worked for me (Rogers in Canada) so without Twitter, Sandy just won't be useful...
Is there a widget for adding reminders? I've seen the widget for viewing your daily digest but what would be really useful is to be able to add reminders, appointments, etc. right from the widget.
I know I could just send an email but I'm in my iGoogle page already so it would be nice to add from there.
I am trying to figure out how to set up multiple To Do's in one email. In other words, if I have a regular time to handly administrative tasks each day, I would rather send Sandy 1 email with multiple items to be added to my calendar.
Is this possible or would I need to send each one as an individual email?
I occasionally have something for which I'd like a reminder further in advance than usual - for example, even though my default reminder is 15 minutes, I have an appointment that I'd like to be reminded about 24 hours in advance. I know I can edit the appointment on the Sandy webpage, but is there any way to set a reminder like this when emailing Sandy?
If my first SMS confirmation took about 40 minutes, should i expect that for normal? I'm trying to figure out how to set my "notify time" correctly. And am I correct that the smae notification time (i.e. 15 minutes before) will be used throughout all the mediums (email, sms, twitter)?
Is there some verbage that enables exact reminders, instead of the offset by the reminder time? I like the current functionality of a 15 minute timer, but sometimes I'd like to get exact time reminders; something to the effect of:
"remind me at exactly 10:56 AM today to ask about exact reminders"
The SMS reminder text begins "(Reminder)" which is all that I can read in the Blackberry subject field.... so I have to open the message to see the content. How can I delete this "introduction"? After all, I can already see that its from Sandy, so I know its a reminder.
Problem with SMS & Emails. For the last week, I have not had SMS/email reminders delivered timely (if at all). Is the system bottle necked? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
How do I "postpone" a reminder from Sandy through an SMS? For example, if I am reminded that I need to call somebody, and I receive and SMS informing me of that, how do I get re-reminded in 15 minutes?
Why doesn't Sandy seem to recognize some messages? From the Sandy website, twitter, and thwirl, I say things like "d s r call restaurant in 1.5 hours @todo" and she doesn't recognize it. I've noticed other words that seem to confuse her too.
