The answer is probably obvious, but I just cant figure it out!!!

hi. I just got an atrix, used to have a galaxy S. On my galaxy S, when i would set a new event in the calendar, (for example - August 10th, 2011 - Soccer Game at 5pm)...on that day, at 5pm the phone would start ringing the notification ringtone and an icon for a reminder would appear in the top taskbar.

i am trying to do this with the atrix, but i just can't do it! I dont know what i'm missing here. i open the calendar, hit menu>more>new event...then i add the event name "soccer game"...change start time to 5pm on August 10th, and then hit save. but, when that time comes around./..nothing happens. No ringing of notification ringtone, no reminder on screen. What am i missing here? What is the thing for "add reminder" for? Do i need to push the green plus symbol (which then says 5 minutes)? So confused, please help. Thanks.

I believe you have to set it to notify you when your setting the event. I always set events and always get notified like your saying

Yes you do have to set that reminder! The green plus is for multiple reminders, if you want to be notified an hour before and again 5min before. Also you can set that reminder to notify you in your status bar or email you or both.
