    I hate this.

    Every time i add an event to my calendar i have to read the whole list of freshly randomized, non-fitting reminder-time-options just to set a custom one anyway.

    And as my memory is completely unreliable i set like 10 different reminders a day for everything.

    This is on Pixel 6a.

    Is there an obvious fix i'm not seeing?

    Thx! 🙂

        that's another issue, lol.

        i have my phone set to english but occasionally some apps use the 2nd system language for no reason.

        it's a known bug.
        the recommended fix?: reboot 🫩

          That's really weird. I have it set up the same way, English (US) as the first language and German as the second and I've never had that problem. But maybe I could download one of the apps where that happens for you and see if it's the same on my device.

            it happens all over the place. in the official google calendar app, but also in the system settings, etc. so it's not just in external apps.

            it's weird 😅

              Sometimes mine becomes Japanese. I have no idea why. It's not set like that anywhere.

                  I was just about to say same, and go enable Japanese again to see it do it, but then I realized I had Japanese enable this whole time and it stopped doing it like it used to.

                  But I used to swipe down from the top and the quick menu would be in Japanese for no fucking reason 💀 (although some buttons were in Eng?)

                  IDK why it stopped doing that, maybe new updates fixed it. I'm on Pixel 8a and using the most current Graphene stable update.

                    Have you tried just removing German and rebooting your phone? I really can't think of any reason why this would be happening, so this is the only possible fix I can think of.

                      Good open source alternative: Fossify calendar or Etar with Davx5
