iOS Calendar alerts don't work

Hi,

Since a few weeks I don't get any alert notifications for my calendar items anymore (the notification sound still works).

I have an iPhone 4S, running iOS 8.1.3 and I'm using the stock iOS Calendar app for my Gmail Calendar.

These are my settings in the control panel:

- allow notifications

- show in Notification Center: 10

- settings for upcoming activities, invites and all other sub categories:

- show in Notification Center

- notification sound: on

- badge app icon: on

- show on lock screen: off

- alert style when unlocked: alerts

I also have 2 iPads (one first generation and one iPad Air, which is also running iOS 8.1.3), both not syncing my calendar.

But nevertheless: all notifications concerning calendars are disbaled on both iPads.

Could anyone help? Am I doing something wrong?

This is really a problem, since my calendar is quite important to me...

Thanks in advance!

Stefan

I have all notifications working fine but instead of the name of the event, I just get the word 'Event' and its time appearing on lock screen. In other words, it does not actually tell me the event, which is none too helpful. Any ideas?

i reset my iphone because the sound of my alarm wasnt going off. now the alarm is working.

however the calendars, alarm sound is still not functioning. plus with setting the time on the schedule , i prefer to set the time like 5;01, 5:02, 5:03, instead of 5;05, 5:10, 5:15, 5:20 numbers. i dont like to set them in 5's
