I've setup alarms in Settings->System->Clock&Alarms to use MDA as the wake-up. But even is I clear the checkboxes for alarms, MDA keeps ringing.
Anyone seen that also ? Is it HW or SW glitch ?
SW glitch i think...
Never heard of that problem, but there are some problems with the alarms i think..
Cheack out the programs at http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php
search "alarm"
http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=865
same problem here. the first alarm i used is going off every day.
like 5 am
where are the alarms stored in the registry?
CJ
i called t-mobile in the netherlands. They told me that it's probally a bug they need my mobile phone for repair for 10 days max.
They will perform a "software update".
tomorrow they will call me with the new version number.
CJ
I found a util the can remove these alarms and other win2003 se bugs.

on my XDA Exec (O2 ROM 1.30.162 WWE for last 2 months) these stopped working about 2wks ago....
Yes, in settings>personal>sounds and notification I have set for playing sounds etc etc etc...and yes, I set reminder when creating new appointments /tasks...
So...any idea why no longer working?????
It's a known "feature" of this OS. Use search for this problem with suggested solutions. None of these solutions worked for me (on my T-Mobile USA MDA).
I had to Hard Reset to get my notifications back. But I lost them again within 2 weeks. I will hard reset again whenever I get some free time.
When I ran into this same problem I also tried a couple solutions, MemMaid didn't work for me and I screwed up my device (lost the ability to ActiveSync) when I ignorantly deleted all sorts of stuff using the Scarey Bear Check Notifications tool. What did work for me was the trial version of SKTools, it has a delete duplicate notifications type tool. If the problem shows up again I'll just purchase SKTools.
I was the same problem a fem weeks ago, and my solutions was program Check Notifications. When I dowloaded this program a readed only about support for WM2003SE, but work on WM05 well.
I deleted automaticky every bad notifications in first time, but nothings happened a and my Qtek was still NO-SOUNDS :-(
I tried delete every RED notifications in check list, and I deleted every old notifications in this list in second time. I was delete this manually! After soft reset my QTEK 'again start talking '
here you have cab file for tring my solution

Great..........worked for me - I just deleted the red reminders twice (for some reason) and it started working again. Must be a corrupt remider or something.
Thanks for the pointers
Just some additional info for future reference.. I downloaded the CheckNotifications.CAB file (thanks for posting!) and removed all duplicates.. but still no reminders..
Eventually, I did the following, and I don't what fixed it but it may help others!
* Using CheckNotifications, deleted all duplicates
* Using CheckNotifications, deleted all references using Calendar.EXE
* Soft Reset
* Deleted Duplicates (again!)
Sync'd via ActiveSync, then whilst connected did the following:
* Removed ALL Calendar entries for the current month
* Entered a test notification
* Waited for the Notify to fire...
Success.
I think it was something to do with corrupt Calendar entry or some sort in my case; either way using the above fixed it for me, so may help someone else reading this in the future. (probably me, when it goes wrong 6 months down the line..!!)
Reminders (most, not all) have stopped working on my Advantage. They show correctly in the calendar and sync with the desktop where the reminders pop up but for most of them nothing happens on Adavantage.
The odd one still works as normal but for most of them although the agenda shows the appointment about to happen no pop up, sound or even notice of a reminder having been missed appears.
I seem to remember a slightly similar thing happening with WM2003 after I had changed the time zone, and had to delete and then reinstate each appointment to get the reminders up again. But in this case neither has the time zone changed nor does deleting and reinstalling (nor before you ask soft-resetting) the device makes any difference.
Any ideas anybody?
Resolution
I had some recurring reminders which were set to go off at 1 minute before and some at 0 minutes.
When I set all of these to at least 5 minutes before everything returned to normal.
Strange unless there is some time issue in the device or OS somewhere - anyway, just in case someone else gets this problem.
It may sound funny but change time zones, have it change the time zone. Then hold the power button until it asks are you sure you want to reboot. Let it reboot then change the time zone back. Sometimes that helps cuz it will rebuild the alarm database.
Your other option is Scarybear fix notifications and Check Notifications. You can view the alarms and remove the ones that are invalid. You need to be careful though. Delete the ones that say NULL.
I've benn through this for YEARS and that's the only way I've had 100% success.

I agree with everything hammermedia says bar one - I find Scarybear sometimes doesn't too well on WM5. Dinarsoft Memmaid does the trick
on the notification queue for me.
Snooze options
While we are on the subject the thing I HATE about WM5 compared to PPC2003 is the fewer snooze options.
Got quite excited over mention of memmaid to look at queue as I totally rely on these notifications but often need to set the snooze to x hours but having had a brief look I see that one can delete but not amend.
Don't want to try scarybear if there are reports of probs on WM5
On my old universal I spent ages trying to to get PocketMax Alarmtoday working to give me more flexibility. I will try again on Advantage now.
Any way of hacking the reminder snooze options? or Other programs people like?
still not snoozing
Just a brief update have got alarmtoday working fine which does have helpful options - regulates the sounds for how long and really like the 'mute all sound for a flexible period' - how many times does one forgot to turn the sound back on!
Alas it still uses the WM5 options for handling the reminder when it pops up so I can't tell it to remind me 8 hours
I have BA with Xplode's WM6 ROM installed and i have installed HTC Home plugin some weeks ago i found something strange: whenever i sync (i use calendar sync) it changes from vibrate (my default "ring") to sound on.
Also when a calendar reminder appears, it does not vibrate as i have select it but rather plays a sound.
I've never noticed this problem before installing HTC Home.
I've searched and found this threads with similar problems, sometimes the oposite, changing from ring to vibrate, whenever changing something on calendar, but with other phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1994550
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358701
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/90241-htc-home-plug-vibrate-bug.html
It seems that there is some problem with HTC Home + Calendar/Reminder and vibrate / ring options.
Is anyone experiencing the same ? Any solutions ?
JP
I'm experiencing the exact same problem, but I cannot find a solution. I posted it in the ROMeOS forum for the Kaiser and no one had any ideas there. I didn't have this problem with stock. It is 100% reproducible on my device. I leave mine on vibrate 24 hours a day all of the time, however I started noticing (after flashing) that many times my phone would adjust to ring from vibrate. I realized if I ever changed appointment settings (even if I open an appointment, change the time, change it back, and hit ok), it will automatically change from vib to ring. My phone still vibrates whenever there are events coming up, but so far my phone hasn't gone off in any meetings yet :-/
When googling I found this similar post at ppcgeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=190440
Still not much info there, someone mentions some fixes but doesn't say anything more about them.
I tried turning the "Reminder" under Sounds & Notifications settings to not include a "ring" option (unchecked it) and now I can edit calendar events without it changing to ring.
Thanks, i will try it.
JP
Eh I changed the time of a calendar entry today and after hitting ok, it changed the ringer back on :-/ Sorry I must have had a tard moment earlier.
Jason
It happens to me sometimes that creating a new appointment won't change vibrate/ring settings, but shifting an appointment will.
But that doesn't always happens, oddly.
What happens all the time is that when synchronizing with Outlook calendar, it will always switch to ring.
JP
Syncing w/ my outlook calendar does this too. This is getting annoying enough to almost want to go back to a rom from AT&T :-/ I have been searching and searching and I haven't found a solution yet.
Jason
Looks like HTC Home might be the culprit. There is supposedly a fix:

Been using my XDA Atom for almost a year now and everyhing worked perfectly. I can say this is the best phone I know and had...
However, just last month the alarm/ reminder on my calendar did not work all of a sudden.
when you key in reminders with alarm notifications the reminders does not pop up or does not even alarm. Ive placed the phone to vibrate to test if the alarm is working but still doesn not function.
Hope somebody can help on this one...
Thanks!

maybe software problem. isolating the case is needed. A few questions to answer.
1.what ROM are you using?
2. did you recently installed any software prior to the event that alarm is not working?
3. last time you did a soft reset and check the alarm problem?
hard reset will always be the last resort to try and see if problems is fixed
Charles is my friend. He installed Pocket Informant, that's when his Pocket Outlook alarms stopped functioning. I've uninstalled PI for him and checked his notification settings, then did a soft reset. Still no go. I've never encountered this type of problem from installing PI before.

bai,
registry could have been damaged. "sometimes" eventhough we have uninstall the program, it leaves/alteres the registry. try a HR if it will fix the problem

SMS Notification repeat
Since we are noobs and not real, I thought I might share my searching results. First the search only returns results with "sms repeat", and not much with the Topaz. I had the same problem with my old Kaiser, and there was a great little program on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html) that I think was more about led notification but worked for my need to get repeat SMS notification. (I am a network engineer that is on call a lot)
I did a bunch of registry hacks on the Kaiser but nothing that worked very well and ended up using Phils program above, but not on my Topaz yet. It is still stock ATT rom.
I did find references to 3 other programs:
MissedCallReminder
PhoneAlarm
spb phone suite
The Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) has a couple of varients, and looks like it might be easy to install, and has a small footprint piece called AlarmPal that has a feature of turning on and off bluetooth that might be helpful if battery life is an issue.
Phone Alarm supposedly works on 6.5. AlarmPal looks like just 6.1 and below, but there are posts about Diamond with a WM 6.5 ROM.(less than $12.00US)
Missed Call Reminder is from here (xda-developers) and looks like one of the moderators might be using it but the post is from Nov, 2008. He has updated it and the files in the cab are from April of 2009. It uses 236K of memory. Not sure if that is alot or little.
I do not have time today to try these out, but should have a little time later in the week.
I too would like this feature enabled. There has got to be reg tweak that will enable the "repeat" box to be checked under sounds & notifications. I will search around as well.
I found this in another forum so I will post it here too. It is over a year old post so I'm not sure if it works yet but I will try it out and post my findings if you all want to wait for confirmation if it works or not on WM6.5. Thanks to Jackalz for this find (http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/992968.htm).
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There is a lot of registry sub-key inside the Notifications folder. Search through one by one to find and locate a registry entry that has its Default (REG_SZ) value as the name of the event. For example, Messaging: New e-mail message, Messaging: New text message, Messaging: New MMS message, Phone: Missed call and etc.
Once found the correct registry sub-key that represents the event that you want to enable the “Repeat” option, edit the value data for Options value name. Change the value to 1073741835 (in Decimal base) or 4000000B (in Hexadecimal HEX base format). Save and exit from registry editor.
Now the Repeat check box is enabled, and user should be able to set repetitive and recurring event notifications.
EDIT: I have just verified that these registry settings worked. I was able to enable the repeat option for New emails, new text and new mms message. CHEERS!
Edited post: I did the above registry tweak and as in the kaiser, It would not stop repeating after reading the sms. I deselected the repeat option and set the registry key back to 0000000b. back happy again..
Old post:
I will try that one.. On the old Kaiser, it would repeat, but unable to turn it off. It kept repeating, no matter what I did to turn it off.. Thanks,
Jack
SMS repeat notification
AlarmPal worked... and even quit "reminding" me after I turned it off..
SMS repeat notification program testing results
Missed Call Reminder: looks like low footprint but repeated Voicemail notification even when I did not have voice or voicemail notification on. Only way to turn off the voicemail notification was to actually listen to the voicemail, just acknowledging it would not turn off the alert. Also after opening it up once, have to reboot the phone to get back into the configuration. Not a problem if I was able to turn off the voicemail alerts.
Alarm Pal worked as advertised but memory usage climbed from 72% to 82% in 14hrs. Will reinstall and continue monitoring.

ah, maybe that's why they disabled it in the first place. haven't experienced that issue with email's or text messages on mine.
Repeat Notification SMS
Have been using Alarm Pal for a few weeks, and it works quite well. I still have the memory usage pump up to above 80% pretty quickly (8-16hrs) but I am a real heavy user of both email, text, alarms and phone. Any others using something different with a smaller memory footprint?

I used MSentinel, you could try that! (after installing you should check the settings - mine checked the status every 1s and drained the battery very fast)

On my Typhoon I used an modified version of MortScript-based reminder - it does not stay in memory, uses wm-s notifications system and executes itself after given time (made also a full hour bell from it ). Its even possible to create a custom scheduled task with it - for example run pim backup every saturday night.. The original script came with a rom from xda-dev. - dont remember the name of it
