It has taken me about a week and numerous hard resets to pinpoint the problem, and how to reproduce it. :evil:
It seems that the Mini notification bubble, which appears when there is more than one icon in the notification position in the title bar, displays a pop up bubble full of square boxes instead of individual notification icons, eg headset, missed calls or SMSes.
Here's how to reproduce it. You will need to have the following set up:
1. Have a .wmv video file on your SD.
2. Make sure your bluetooth headset is working fine with your Mini. You should see a headset icon on the title bar.
3. You need another phone (mobile, line phone doesn't matter as long as it has no caller non-display) to test this. Let's call it the control phone. Make sure you assign the control phone to a dummy contact, and assign a photo to the contact.
Here's how to test.
1. Open windows media player and play the .wmv file. Switch to full screen, switch back, and close the app.
2. Use the control phone to call your Mini. The photo should pop up. Hang up the control phone.
3. You should now see a notification bubble in the position formerly occupied by the headset icon. This is because there are now two notifications: headset and missed call.
4. Tap once on the bubble.
For me, I see a dialog box pop up for 1 second, with square boxes. A soft reset fixes things.
I realised that the same bug can be reproduced using BetaPlayer and an avi file.
Anyone else has encountered this?
I had the same problem with my Mini. The Bluetooth was on and the SMS sent notification came and the bubble popped up but after sometime the message sent notification envelope just would not go.
Yes, that happened to my friend who's using a Mini too. For him the text bubble or grey notification icon bar wouldn't go away, but for me it wouldn't stay. :roll:
if you're using an O2 Mini can you check on your storage and storage card thru the computer when you're syncing and see if there is a 0 kb file called "ignore_my_docs" on it?
Even after a HR I cant seem to get rid of it?!?
me toooo
same issue
Same problem here.... any help would be appreciated...
Same happens some times when I send a SMS: the bubble with the "message sent" notification doesn't disapear... I haven't find a way to reproduce this one...

Anyone facing the ignore_my_docs problem?
What problems would the ignore_my_docs file cause?
This zero-byte file is created if the Mini doesn't detect the "My Documents" folder when you first insert the freshly formatted SD. It simply tells applications that instead of scanning just the files and subfolders beneath "My Documents", it now has to scan the entire SD card.
You can delete the ignore_my_docs file, which I did, as I find applications take too long to display/scan files, eg in the Album application it will attempt to list all relevant files on your SD, instead of listing just files within the "My Documents" folder.
Thanks for the info Cheshirecat.
I was worried it was some sort of virus file since it doesnt show on the Magician but just shows if I access the storage or storage card folder on my phone when its connected thru the computer....and keeps coming back even if I delete it.
Thanks again.

Not sure if this problem is the similar to the one that shows up on the XDA 2 with the new O2 1.72.181 ROM or not... but that seemed to be caused by an old icon from O2 Active that had not been disabled properly in the new ROM. I had a constant notification bubble, even when nothing had been "missed", that showed the running application and the inactive O2 Active icon. Since I don't use O2 Active, I deleted the O2 Active application and that fixed the problem. I am not familiar with the O2 mini, or if it has O2 Active or not, but i thought I would mention it in case it helps :?

Same problem with notification
same for me
have also experienced the same problem. I uninstalled apps that put stuff on the task bar but the prob was not fixed so I did a hard reset and didn't install apps that affect the task bar anymore... I am thinking this maybe an OS issue.
In the end I did the same: hard reset it.
Now I am careful of what I install, and try to use the stock applications whenever possible. And backup before I install any system utility.
So far so good. 8)
same for me!
annoying prob :-(
I somehow missed the "Dismiss" command on a couple of wake-up alarms last week and now I keep getting the alarm notification sounds and can't find any way to stop them.
I get the alarms every time that I re-start the phone (which I have to do after ending an ActiveSync session).
I have not installed the latest firmware yet, because I don't have the time to back-up all of my settings & shortcuts, so I just want to stop the notification sounds without major disruption.
I've tried all the combinations of alarm and notification settings that I can find and it makes no difference.
I presume that non-dismissed alarms are stored somewhere and keep firing-up whenever the phone is re-started, but how can I stop them?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PS, I don't have any registry editing software.
Use the attached software (install via activesync) to clear duplicated notifications. In options/settings both boxes need to be checked. If i still wont go after this I found sktools sorts out stubborn duplicate notifications http://s-k-tools.com/

When you say to install via ActiveSync, do you mean to have an ActiveSync connection with the phone and then run the executable on the PC?

Yes thats right
Check Notification
I've installed the program and get a long list of events.
In the Application column, a number are NULL, but most entries are sddaemon.exe, plus some calupd.exe, CALNOT.EXE, CALENDAR.EXE, clocknot.exe, repllog.exe.
I have 144 events.
When I click the Clear button, it processes the events and then the program gets stuck on Event 145 of 144.
I seem to be able to clear the events one at a time, which is extremely laborious.

You should only clear duplicate notifications - some of those notifications listed are important to the normal running of the phone. Make sure both checkboxes are ticked under options. If there is a stubborn duplicate notification that won't shift use sktools that should do it.

Oops !
I cleared all notifications before I saw your message.
What can I expect to go wrong with the phone and can I fix it?
Thanks
delete the NULL notifications by hand, tap on them and choose delete. after that, just press clear and all other duplicates will be removed automatically.

If the phone is still working then fine - soft reset hopefully the important notifications will return - all those marked calendar are for reminders of appts/events so you will need to set the reminders again. The actual events should still be there.

Hello,
I have just bought the new ATOM Exec and I have to say that this is a great machine... however, I am having troubles with the reminders / alarms.
Every morning at 08:30 I got a reminder box poping saying "alarm: no description". I have checked my time settings and no alarm is activates (even if the O2 media Plus)..... Does anyone know how I could get rid of it ?
Thanks,
Greg

You have somethign "stuck" in your notification queue.
Load some software to look at the notification queue.. MemMaid is good.
You'll be able to see the notification queue and be able to work out which ones are the "stuck" alarms.
Don't just delete notifications because you don't know what they are though...
Also search other forums, there are a lot of posts about this (especially for the wizard)

Hi and thanks for your reply. I have installed memmaid and could see these alarms in the notification queue.... there were 4 or windows/clock.exe at 8:30am..... however, even if I can delete these entries, they keep on returning every time I do a soft reset..... any ideas on how to get rid of that ?
Thanks.

They keep returning .. wierd...
Firstly go in to Alarms and disable all the ones you have in there.
Then go into memmaid and check for duplicates first .. delete these duplicates .. then delete ALL alarms again.
Soft reset... hopefully they won't be there.
If they are then I have no idea ... sorry.
Charlie Grillo
Hope someone can help.
Using Memaid under the Notifications Queue noticed I have nothing in there.
I have just upgraded to WM6 from WM5 which also had the same problem.
I have searched the threads but no one has any solutions particularly as I don't have any notifications visible (I do have reminders and other stuff in my calender)
Strangely enough the reminders are coming up. I have also experienced whilst on WM5 the problem of not being able to stop the alarms even after a reset.
Any help would be appreciated.
did you try sktools?
Just tried sktools trial version and it shows up the notifications!
Not sure why Memmaid isn't?
Maybe too old a version?
I'm using Memmaid on my Trinity and plenty of notifications show up in the queue. I am using WM6 too.
Using this application you can change your Incoming Call, Reminder Alarm, Clock Alarm, SMS Alarm to any sound file on your device with no limitation.
This program supports audio formats like MP3, Wave, AAC and WMA.
Be aware that installing and running this program will turn off functionalities like standard SMS recieve notification and standard SMS alarm notification.
If you want to uninstall it, first remove the shortcut of MessageInterception from Startup folder and then run Uninstall.reg file to enable standard SMS recieve notification and set standard SMS alarm notification from Settings, Notifications And Sounds, then restart (soft reset) your device.
I have tested this application on Windows Mobile 6.0 And Windows Mobile 6.1 and on my own Wizard (G4) device.
Note : This application may disable Threaded SMS.
Please feel free to post bugs and new ideas,
Thanks,

Um, er... it sounds like its a replacement for standard functionality, therefore only one can handle these events at a time. Also it enhances standard functionality with more sound formats.
What I'm looking for is a good set of sound themes
I'm waiting for this apps !!! Great i will test it immediatly
Dears,
Please report your device info and if it is running on your device or not.

What error did you get after running uninstall ?
Dear speoples20,
This attachment may help you out of this problem.
These files are in zip format, so you should have an application to open and extract them ( uninstall.zip and EnableThreadedSMSMMS.zip )
Is this application for WM 6.0 to enable the Threaded SMS feature found in WM 6.1? Or just an application to deactivate the Threaded SMS feature in the WM 6.1?

Does your SMS notification behave as expected ? I mean if the application handles them or not.
Change your alarm clock setting to what it was before from Settings, Notifications & Sounds. Then re-check again.
Do you have the same problem with Incoming Call ?
Thanks,
The program has an issue with smartSMS program.
Conflict occured when there're smses sent from smartSMS' red list.
