Nov 15, 2013 6:23 PM in response to KIOJOby Naylor2006,I've just copped 7.0.4 and it's exactly the same, doesn't show up in the today view or the calendar in the notification centre.
This isn't a bug though, this is change Apple have made, there's no way they would have overlooked showing All Day events, it's a decision for what ever reason I don't know. Possibly cause it's now quite text based with the today view and it refers to events as meetings with people and I guess all day doesn't make sense.
Anyway I think it's stupid, the weather is stupid and somehow takes up more space but provides less information. "Cloudy current and the high was 13C" Thats proper rubbish, no 7 day forecast with easy pictures to look at glance, now man gotto read the weather. They could have designed a well nice weather section with new graphics.
So it's not a bug that's waiting to be fixed, it always showed before iOS 7 and now the notification centre has been revamped and doesn't have it, I'm not sure it will be back not in a small update anyway, I hate the whole new notification centre, I lost my jailbreak to upgrade so I can wait to get that sorted.

Nov 15, 2013 6:28 PM in response to Naylor2006by tbyrdphoto,Naylor2006, I agree with you 100%. I relied on the calender notifications for my work. I schedule my gigs as all day events and now all it says is " you have one all day event tomorrow" - why waste the space telling me that and just tell be what the event is? It is sooooo frustrating.

Nov 15, 2013 6:36 PM in response to Naylor2006by prabhatn,Yes, 7.0.4 too did not fix the issue.
If any one know Windows Mobile era (6.5.3, not the Win Phone) we had a extenssion called CHT which will enable All day Event veny nicely (See here my own ROM). But after many years still iOS cant do that simple stuff.
Thanks.

Nov 15, 2013 6:50 PM in response to tbyrdphotoby Naylor2006,Mate I don't even get that, All Day Events don't show what so ever, doesn't even say you have an all day event, just says you have no events, I'm look at it thinking "but what about the massive one that last all day" So with it not showing on the calendar view either I've had to go through all my shifts and put them in with the start and end times which is a lame.
Before it was say "Late Shifts", now it talks about a meetings, such an oversight.

Nov 15, 2013 7:20 PM in response to Naylor2006by tbyrdphoto,Naylor, one ' work around' in your calender is when in Monthly View is to use the magnifying Glass icon in the upper right corner... That will list your daily events at a glance... It's a bit of a drag but I've resorted to use this to check my all day events in a pinch.
But the fact that Apple totally forgot about the Notification center is super lame.

Nov 15, 2013 7:27 PM in response to tbyrdphotoby Naylor2006,Yeh but if I open the calendar app I can see them anyway, I just watch to bring down the NC see what's up and move on.
Having notifications on a different pane is rubbish too, before you had missed calls emails texts etc weather and calendar all in one quick view, now you have the date written in massive letters, some nonsense about the weather that's already happened and then a novel about what's happening tomorrow. Moaning about the way the calendar events is one thing isn't it but let's be honest, the whole NC is rubbish in everyway.

Nov 20, 2013 8:14 PM in response to SillyPhily21by TriApple123,I enter mine in from iCal:
-All day events show up as a generic "you have an all day event scheduled".
-If you do not select all day and set a time it will show up on the iphone as " you have 1(2,3...) event(s) and the first one starts at ____(AM/PM)" I also select busy or free depending on the event to give the visual time block.
-In iCal on the get info of the event select: alert>send message> and whenever you want and it will show a message in iCal and on your iPhone!
I choose: day before>and whatever time works best to have the notification
*also I just came across this you can try: Settings>Mail/Contact/Calanders>(scrolls down until)Default Alert Times>All-Day Events> (set your time). Let me know if that works for shared calanders when the user does not select an alert.

Nov 22, 2013 4:45 AM in response to TriApple123by Naylor2006,Default alert is a way of making it say "There is one all day event scheduled" but that is still utterly useless, I want to see the title of the **** event so I don't have to open the calendar app to see what it is.
I can not believe that the iOS 7 development team thought this was a good idea, of course the main fking thing you want to know about an event is it's title.
I will never ever go Android but iOS 7 is doing my head in.

Nov 22, 2013 9:53 AM in response to Naylor2006by TriApple123,The work around is explained in my post. I understand everyone's frustration, but imagine the alternate scenario. I have 17 meetings today, several all day events and some other shared calendars going on! It would fill my notification screen up with that, all my emails, text, etc. my notification screen would be about 7 screen lengths to scroll through! That almost negates being notified. It would become a cluster f#%^ of information. Apple is about simplicity. Glance at something and if you want to see more open the application. If it is important an enough event... create the alert, otherwise it just tells you you have something(s) going on. Hope this helps.

Nov 22, 2013 10:17 AM in response to TriApple123by Naylor2006,.....and like I've said all along this is not a bug this a change they've made to the design, everyone keeps saying they hope they fix this, they're not going to I don't think cause it's not a fault.
I don't accept your point though, it was was simply to provide an image of the weather, now you have to read the weather which is hardly 'at a glance'. Fine if you have 8000 different event in one day but showing the name of the all day event is so useful and back on iOS 6 etc all your items would stack in one easy view, it's only cause the new text based look it's laid out so ******* poorly that nothing fits in.
I maintain that the whole of the new NC is **** and I first posted here to talk about this not being a bug but an design choice which lacks functionality and use. This is the first time they have designed a change and taken away functionality or use. I'm sure once the jailbreak is released I can't customise this as I'd like, at least put a ******* picture of the sun when the suns out jeeeeze

Dec 11, 2013 6:02 AM in response to Naylor2006by db9068,I dont think its a design change. All day events show up in Notification center in my ipad but not my iphone. Both syncing to same calendar. Have checked every setting I can and cant see any differences. cant figure out why it works in one but not the other.

Dec 14, 2013 9:03 AM in response to SillyPhily21by nboris827,The only thing that has worked for me is to not make the event All Day. Instead, I schedule it to start at 12 am and end at 12 pm. I realize this won't work as well if you have more than 1 all day event, but for a single event it has worked so far.
