Lock Screen not displaying upcoming Calendar Appts or Reminders (since iOS 6.0.1)

I have an iPhone 5 (White, 64GB) that arrived with iOS 6 installed. I did not restore from a backup and set it up as a brand new device (so not to carry over anything from a previous version of iOS). After getting the prompt the other day I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 and it installed successfully.


Today I noticed that my upcoming appointments and reminders (in the next 24hrs of course) were not appearing on the lock screen. However, they do show up in Notification Centre. I made sure that all of my settings are correct in Settings>Notifications>Calendar as well as Settings>Notifications>Reminders... still nothing is showing up on the Lock Screen... they only appear on Notification Centre.


This is not how the lock screen on iOS has ever functioned.


I've now tried toggling all of the settings for the lock screen of both apps, soft and hard resets of the phone, toggling iCloud sync, etc. I have even placed a call to Apple and they're having the engineering dept. look in to it further.


This is also happening on my iPad (3rd gen wifi) running iOS 6.0.1 so it's not just a bug related to my iPhone 5.


Is anyone else having this problem??

When you went into Settings>Notifications>Calendar .... Are your settings:


1. Show (more than 1 item)

2. Alert style Alerts

2.View in Lock Screen On?


Additionally, is there anything specific to the calendar? IE is it a shared calendar, a synced calendar, etc?


If so in the first part and if not in the second part, try resetting all settings: Settings>general>reset>reset all settings (this will also delete any wi-fi passwords you have FYI). But since this is happening on two different devices, more than likely it is specific to something in your settings on in your calendars.

If you reset all settings it will not erase any content (that would be erase all content and settings)... it will just reset any settings that have been adjusted and sometimes it gives it a little kick to force them to act the way they should. It will reset network settings so if you know your Wi-fi password I promise you don't have anything to worry about.


Also, what calendar are you using to get the alets from?

I turned iCloud off and kept Calendars and Reminders on my iPad. Then, I turned off iCloud and deleted both from my iPhone. I then restarted both devices and proceeded to turn iCloud on for the iPad. I waited a few mins and turned iCloud back on for Calendars and Reminders on my iPhone. Neither device is showing these items in the lock screen. STILL.


By the way, I appreciate the help so far... I just hope I get this up and running.
