my xda2 clock seems to revert to 2.30 on a daily basis, even when i change it to the proper time..i not sure if this is hapenning while i am using activesync or no ( 1st couple of times it happened i thought i must have accidentally adjusted the clock while the xda wa in my pocket or something, but not so)...any advice on what is going on here.
thanx

Same thing occurred with me.
I think it has something to do with your
PC systems clock settings?????
Later
As far as I can tell, the XDA syncs to the PC clock everytime you active sync it. My pc clock was set to june 2001 (I don't use it much) and it used to drive me crazy that this was happening till I found out why !!

Hello Folk!
I have the similar problem...really annoyin' indeed...
Everytime when i sync. with desktop, my qtek's clock jumps 9 hours forward, according to Desktop Clock.
If someone knows why could that be, please write it here!
:? Damn!
Keep up the good work! :wink:

If you go into the Tools then Options on the botton there is a check box, synchronize mobile device clock upon connecting... unclick that and there you go
Tnx a lot, zabes64 !! )
I searched throught that tools menu several times with no success...i really don't know, how could i miss that...
Now it works like a charm....tnx to U M8!! )

I know it's a bit late and you've already got round this problem by not syncing your pda time with desktop, but i just thought i might mention that i had the same problem with my SPV E200. Every time i synched with my computer, the time on the E200 would lose 6hrs, was very frustrating for a few days until i realised that my time zones were set to different places on my phone and computer. Computer was set to London GMT as it should be but phone was set to somewhere in USA thus every time i docked with my computer, the time on the phone was set to the correct time as if i were in USA. Just had to change my time zone to the right one and everything fine
Tnx Pal!
I checked and that was IT!
Now it works Like it should )
Keep up the good work!

Maybe we have most powerful device for digital asistance , but still it cant wake up me when i want :? :evil: , it is very ironik i have this device but i must use mechanic clock for wake up on time ... Is there any solition except install spb time?
Reload,
1st time poster (old time lurker), so please bear if my data is old. Don't know if this is still usable - but when my XDA II was new i had to install a program called "Wakeup Tweak" or something like that. Thanks to this site and many other sites that helped 'patch' up the bugs of the device.
It made a few changes in the registry to 'allow' the device to wake up when an alarm goes off. Did a quick search here a link:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=876
Hope it's still usable - goodluck
Thank you Assisi , it looks like for 2003 , my device have 2003 se but i will try i hope it will work
I have found that if you disable the "vibrate" option for the alarm then it works fine.
SPB Time can make matters worse. When it's alarm goes off, it disables the sounds for Events (warnings, system events() and Notifications (alarms, reminders) until you click on "disable" on the little dialog window that comes up when SPB times alarm goes off. The problem is, sometimes it seems to "forget" to reenable these things which creates other annoyances. I'm not sure why SPB has included this "feature" but its enough to make me want to uninstall it sometimes.
this is funny/interesting, coz i'm using my xda2 default alarm feature daily, to wake me up at 5:30, and it works...

i have 2 xda2 in the household and both suffer from the same problem like the ones in 2003 roms. The first alarm of the day jus refuses to go off when its suppose to ... well occasionally it does but alot of times it just doesnt.
It use to be a simple registry hack to extend the suspend time for housekeeping at midnight everyday, can anyone confirm this is the same issue for 2003SE ?
And by the way, does anyone have a link to the registry hack ... i did a quick search and didnt find what i was looking for
I used to suffer from the same problem on my old rom (1.66). When i upgraded to 2.06, it seemed to be fixed.
Anyway, check here to fix it. It worked for me on the old rom.

So,since that upgrade the little boy had many many terrible psycho attacks for that alarm! :lol:

You can use ScaryBearSoftwares' Check Notifications program. It's free and you can download it from http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html
It let's you see the current notification events database and delete unwanted events among other things...

This morning at 6.45am noticed that my 6am alarm didn't go off. Turned on pocketPC expecting my 6am alarm to go off as this used to happen on my old pocketPC. It didn't go off but at 7am on the dot, the pocketPC wakes up and sounds my 6am alarm!! What's that all about?
It wasn't a time zone thing either, my time tab was still set to Home and GMT (I'm in the UK) and I've never set it to away.
When I checked on the notifications message list that looked fine also.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any fix?
Cheers
You can try the alarmfix from spb pocket tips&tricks

If Microsoft are reading this, come on, a PDA where you can't rely on it to ring at the correct time or at all for that matter. Shocking.

anyone else ?
phonealarm has got scheduled profiles.
I also want something which can disable the sound of email notification at night - without all the other features - just simply configure so between specific hours, no audio notification is given.
I tried 3 different profile apps I found on this forum (with google search), and I found this one to work the best for me:

For my setup, I only have active sync and windows live sync up to midnight and then from 7am in the morning.
Someone mentioned PhoneAlarm...there's also AlarmPal from the same site, which notifies you of an email/SMS/MMS/missed calls etc.. repeatedly until you do something about it (or as many times as you tell it to!); it has the option to define the time period - start and end - for when it should be active.
I used to use it on my Hermes, but have never gotten around to installing it on my Kaiser; I used to have it set to be active from 06:00 to 23:59 which worked well.
It's not free, but it's pretty darn cheap
Cheers,
Mark.
has anyone experienced this? about a week ago my reminder alarms stopped working..i use them everyday and its quite frusturating. have checked the music file it links to, ive unchecked and rechecked the settings, cant figure it out. havent installed any new programs lately either. the alarm in the time settings works still but i cant get it to find the same mp3 file that the calendar could use?
any ideas?
thanks guys
Fix for 8125 and TILT, may also work on HERMES
This is one of the most frustrating things about Windows Mobile. I had the same problem with my 8125, and it just started on my 2 mo. old Tilt. Even though you have a Hermes, this solution may work because it is a WINDOWS MOBILE problem.
I've done major amounts of research on this subject and many people will tell you you need Memmaid (have it), or SKTools to fix this. Neither worked for me on either phone (except Memmaid is great, you should get it). There are also many other tweaker tricks as well, none of which worked for me. Some even suggest a HARD RESET. Don't do it, it isn't needed.
Here's what worked for me.
On the 8125: pull the battery out while powered on. Put the battery back in, and reset the clock. (the battery trick didn't work on the TILT)
On the Tilt: change the clock to visiting time, and accept changes. Change the clock back to home time and accept changes.
After looking at these solutions I think the clock fix would have done the same thing on my 8125.
I can't take credit for either discovery, however, I can't remember where I read them.
I hope this works for you and the others that experience this most frustrating issue.
Calendar reminders not working on HTC Tytn II (Tilt) + WM6.1
Hi,
I had recently updated my HTC Tytn II (Kaiser/Tilt) from Windows Mobile 6 to Windows Mobile 6.1.
It took me a little while to notice that my calendar reminders were not working. My "Task" reminders were working fine.
I did the suggested fix - which was to change the timezone to "Visiting" and back to "Home" - and now I have my calendar reminders working again. Thanks for the suggestion hksuper!
Prembo.
It works on Polaris too. Thanks you guys so much
Thanks
Thanks hksuper .... I just chaged the clock from home to visiting and then back to home and it worked ,,,, Thanks for sharing this info.
Hi,
I'm glad others are finding this tidbit of info useful.
What bothers me is that the solution is only temporary. It seems like it only lasts for a day and then you have to do the time change trick, which you forget to do. I would set a reminder to remind me to change the time zone, but it wouldn't go off to remind me.
I guess my solution is only a half a solution until someone figures out how to make reminders work permanently on Windows Mobile.
IN other news....I have an iPod Touch, sync'd to my Exchange Server, and it NEVER FAILS TO DING WHEN I HAVE A REMINDER SET. Unfortunately, the reminders don't have as many nice options (like snooze, which I find invaluable). So Apple at least gets points for making it work right. Got that MS?
Cheers!
As an interim solution for you hksuper, why don't you set the reminders on your iPod Touch to tell you when you need to reset the clock....
Seriously though I hope we can come up with a solution to an annoying problem... Come on MS, apples ahead of the game, time for you to get there too....
That is a really good thing to know.
Today I experienced the same problem on my Touch Pro 2, with Windows Mobile 6.5. After doing the clock trick, it is working again.
Hope I don't have to do this daily or else I just throw out this f*cking expensive device
I had this issue in Win 5 when I got my m3100.
I have never had the problem in 6.0 pro though and I use the calendar everyday.
Weird
Solution for calendar reminder problem.
Google "The poorhouse pmClean cab." Download the pmClean cab, perform a clean, and do a soft reset. I'm currently on the NRG Phoenix 2 6.5 ROM on my HTC Fuze and it worked remarkably well.

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with the alarm on my TP2.
Once I set an alarm on it, and next day change the time or turrn the alarm off, the original alarm still continues to sound.
For eg:
Day 0 - I set alarm for 7 am for Day 1 - it will ring at 7 am
Day 1 - at night I change the alarm to say 715 am - it will ring both at 7 am and 715 am on Day 2
Day 2 - say I disable all alarms - on Day 3 it will still ring both on 7 am and 715 am (and hence spoil my weekend)
has anyone else also encountered this???
Pls help.
I am using unbranded TP2 (Singapore)
ROM 1.19.707.2 (51489) WWE (Even after upgrading the ROM to new SEA the problem persists)
Please help.
Exactly what I was going to create a thread about today!
This is doing my head in. I have to be up all week at 4:15am, so I set my alarm for 7 days. At the weekend, I'm off work, so I turn them off. Low and behold, at 4:15am on Saturday morning I'm awoken by the same alarms.
I used to know of a program or method where you could see a queue of notifications, and you could delete them if you had invalid entries, but I've forgotten it now. I think the TP2 may be making invalid repeat entries to this queue that are not affected by turning alarms on/off in the normal way.
1:55am
Hi all
I am using Klaxon which does not seem to have this problem as it always uses the same WM alarm. However, I don't know whether or not it's related but my phone frequently crashes at 1:55am, hence no alarm. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Cheers

Alarm problems
I haven an unbranded TP2 and have the same problems for couple of weeks now... I've tried everything. Forst I've written to HTC but they didn't came up with an answer other than trying to keep the phone as clean as possible. They told me it's not a known issue... as while reading through different forums I didn't feel to bee alone !
Reading through the net told me that if you use 3rd party software the problem would be solved, so I bought G-alarm wich seemed to be the best available porgram. It went well for 2-3 weeks when there again my phone missed an alarm in the morning. The alarms do sound the moment I turn the phone on.
I read through the net again to find that the problem would could be due to a notification que wich is too long... I bought another piece of software, SkTools that can clean the notification que and be set to do so daily on automated basis. It went well for 1 week again... Yesterday and today the phone skipped again the wakeup alarms...
Writing to HTC many times didn't help so this afternoon I will try to flash my phone and try the ROM update wich is available on the HTC site. I'm sure the problem will be cured for a couple of weeks... but after? I'll let you guys know...

Just to let you know, I have already flashed the ROM upgrade, but that didn't cure the problem. Do let me know how you fare.

Sorry, no solution, but why not file a bug report with HTC or Microsoft?
If we all just keep going around the issues, software makers will never find out about the problems or fixe them.
Just an idea
I did already twice. only answer they gave was to hard reset the device an install no other software... that's why I by one of the world's most advanced phones? I don't think so. They keep telling me it is not a known issue... ?
As dommers and vasra tried the ROM update and it didn't work I'm doubting to go through the pain?
Does any of you have very regular (10 times a day) an error on the opera9.exe file?
Can you guys tell me wich 3rd party software is installed to see if it maybe is something wich is screwed up by 3rd party installation?
Does anybody know if the problem is known in a custom 6.5 rom as I would try one of those? In that case wich is the best and most stable available?
Thx
I think it has to be an HTC / TFO issue...my Kaiser has no issues and is same software/notification queues..i have found HTC to be very arrogant on the phone..but i will log a few calls with them ..maybe you guys could too...and they may start to look at it..
i spoke to HTC - they were ,quite frankly, useless. I informed them of the problem and after going through a load of useless checks that the alarm was on they said they would put feedback down but he wasn't sure it would get to the developers. Complete waste of time. Makes me think of buying an iphone. At least that works. grr...

use windows alarm not touchflo 3d
hi guys,the problem is that you use touchflo 3d's alarm setting,right?
let me tell you,touchflo 3d alarm doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so just save your time,dont use it, it's useless,i dont know what is problem with rom designers.
The real working alarm is windows own one,go to settings---sounds and notifications---notifications---events----(pull down)reminder.
At last,if you want to use your own mp3 music as alarm sound,pls create \Storage card\My documents,copy all your mp3 into My documents folder.

My alarm (set under TF3D) works great.
You are lucky you don't have an iphone, that damn thing used to make me late all the time.
I had this problem with my kaiser.
After a week that I go crazy, I founded that the problem caused by an early version or iGo8.
Are you using iGo8?
If yes, update it.
Custom ROMs
The problem also occurs in all custom ROMs...I have tried them all...NRG, RoMeOS, Miri etc.
I'm pretty sure this is a Windows issue. I used to see it on my Titan, particularly when I would change time zones.
What I would do on the Titan was to use Memaid to remove the classic time based notifications (which are your alarm settings), and then regenerate them. Worked like a charm!
if you use sk tools to clear notifications que automatically at 00:30, that should solve the problem

Same here. Got my TP2 yesterday and instantly flashed EnergyROM, and it woke me up just as I expected it this morning.
But reading this thread now kinda makes me worry I'll be late for work tomorrow... Or being kicked out of the bed on saturday...
Well, I guess I'll just hope it works.
My xv6800 did that alarm thing. Clearing the duplicates from the notifications que fixed it. good luck,
