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 😅

          i’m on android 15 (2025-05-05)

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

          That has never happened to me personally, but at one of my jobs I recently helped a lady whose phone had suddenly switched to Hausa (including the settings menu, which made changing it back to French a bit tricky). She neither spoke nor understood the language — couldn’t even recognise it, actually — and had no idea how it had happened.
