Could someone please be so kind as to list the entires in the notification queue of a fairly clean JasJar for me. Just the main program, found using Pocket Mechanic, and excluding standard calendar entries.
I mistakenly deleted something, and I need to try and figure out what it was without going thro a hard reset...

Pls don't get angry on me.
I have the same sound/nomore calendarwarning at all/ and random alarm problem.
I downloaded, on you advice, pocketmechanic, and am now in front of the Notification Queue.
Can you tell me what I can delete and what I can't?
huib
You can delete CALENDAR and TASKS entries - they will re-add themselves. But rather not cos you have nothing to gain
\\.\Notification\.....SCRIPT... entries seem to cause problems. If they are due to activate soon, leave them alone. If they are due to go off in a few days, kill the little buggers. I think that many of them are registration checkers.
You WILL have duiplicate sddaemon entries with yellow icons. Kill them ALL and enjoy it!
You should find 1 of each of the follwoing:
- repllog
- \windows\calupd
- CALNOT
You will find 2 of each of the following:
- calnot
- clocknot
- repllog
ANything else is 'interesting'. Google it and kill it if it does not point to something u r happy with. I have never had one not sort itself out if it was required (eg weather updating - will come back when weather app next loads).
OK, so I did. Deleted 46 dups.
And than a soft reset:
Still 46 dups over there. But first:
The warning sound that comes up, starts before even asking for the Sim pin. Nearly immediately after soft resetting, this sounds comes up It keeps warning me for quite a time and then stops. I think it repeats about 8 times, but everytime with a slower interval between the (three tones) beeps. Do you think it should also be in that queue?
I really don't want to hard reset any more. It is so much work.
Before this problem started I had my battery drained , ignoring low battt warnings. Could that be the case? That the jasjar shuts down before properly handling the sounds?
The calendar does not warn anymore, so somewhere in this queue something is blocked?
Interesting, right?
Huib
Hell, not sure 'interesting' is the word I'd use. This sounds awful.
I did hear that running the battery empty is indeed bad for a Universal. But I think it was bad for the battery not for the ROM.
I don't understand why your duplicates come back! Post a list of the following:
- A few of the duplicates in detail
- An idea of what all these duplicates are (are they all the same)
- A list of progs in \windows\startup
- A list of installed apps (excluding games and things)
This is surely easy to solve. Let's see what we can do.

\windows\sddaemon.exe apprunAfterrestore action details: n/a
Notify when a device restore is complete. handle: 0x300056
and many more nearly the same but with handle 0x3a000055 or 0x3f000056 or idem but with 0x38000059 etc etc
Alle of the dups are in that list, close to each other. So they are more or less the same.
What about a suggestion to" Just remove sddaemon.lnk from \windows\startup\
then soft reset. it is ok"
from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=180017#180017
In windows startup: Poutlook and sddaemon + spb GPRS notify (GPRS is recently new, after the problems started)
progs: listpro, pbreeze ( But I did not have that installed when the problems rised the first time I had them) Pocketweather, Ewallet ( now removed) NR de Luxe,
Edited: oops , I forgot Agile. And I also forgot to say that I had many freezes, using Agile. So also here there could be a source of problems.
Huib
Create a new folder \windows\StartupDisabled, and move sddaemon here. Kill the duplicates, and soft reset. I can't imagine that they come back. Does this solve the startup issue. If not, you'll need to tell us exactly what else is running under notifications.
If it works, keep it like this for a few days and see if voice command still works OK. I'm trying myself right now after reading that post.

Sorry, but still dups ( 43 now)
And that stupiud warningn sound is still there. My right led keeps blinking, and I thought it should not blink.
A hard reset? (becoming suicidal)'

This does not make sense; we are going to check 3 things:
1) are u using PM correctly
2) are dups truly getting deleted
3) is the soft reset bringing them back
4) if so, let's stop it
1) Are you correctly using PM to remove dups? You need to TICK each item to be removed (each yellow icon), either manually or by clicking 'dups' button. You THEN have to click "remove" button. You MUST then check that dups have indeed been removed.
2) Exit PM, go back in and check they are not there. If they've come back, then you have a corrupted notifications queue that PM is not dealing with correctly. Hard reset I'm afraid - but look for another post I started on TIPS n TRICKS - it's not nearly as brutal as u think.
3) Now, soft reset - if they came back then it's the reset that's causing the porblem. If not, then you should be good. Is your SR going OK without the sounds now?
4) If they DO come back, then look for notification queue entires linked to "AppRUnAfterRestore" and tell us what they are.

1. I click DUP: 44 found Then I click DELETE and I read : 44 notificatons succesfully deleted.
2.I leave PM an start it again to be sure : I click DUP: 0 found.
3. Soft reset directly after that, goto PM etc and: the same 44.
Sounds are still there: when sounds stop after x times richt LED keeps blinking red or orange colour.
4. Notification type: system event

Hell, this sounds awful. Only thing I can think of is to kill ALL sddaemon entries (you MIGHT then lose voice dial functionality) and try again. If they come back again, a hard reset may be the only solution. Sorry.

Subject: ! FIXED!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello All!
After 3 weeks of usage of my Qtek9000:
- all the Calendar notifications dissapeared (no text, no sound);
- the Alarms did have sound and vibra, but no text and Notification softbutton on the screen;
- alarms sounds could appear on their selfs on a random time and no Text on the screen.
I've searched the forum and it learned out that it is a Notification Que Issue.
It looks that upon a time, that que is being oversized or some mess (duplicates?) happened in it.
So, after that the "Notification Que" Issue appears.
HOW I FIXED IT:
1. Get the MemMaid \ PocketMechanic app;
2. find and delete duplicates, SoftReset (SR) (no success so far);
3. delete up to 200 CALENDAR.EXE entries, (SR) (no success so far);
4. delete up to 100TASK.EXE entries, (SR) (no success so far);
5. delete .\\notificatiopn.....script... entries, (SR) (no success so far);
6. delete all repllog.exe entries (2) and SR- IT WORKS AGAIN !!! ;
From this case - I dont know which of the manipulations actually brought my notifications back alive (is that really the repllog.exe entry?)
The possible longterm solution may be a 3-rd party App, which performs scheduled Notification Que clean up?
This is a very annoying and awfull BUG in the WM5 !!!
As I don't believe the fillowing ROM releases will fix this critical bug, the only way out - is developing the system app to perform a scheduled Notification Que clean up.
All, please, give your feed back: your experience, knowledge on the subject, etc.
Thank you.
Running the Memmaid Notification Queue.
I noticed that I have:
\\.\Notification\NamedEvents\Script:0x0
[it says something after that but I can't see it cause the window cuts off]
The problem is that this item is listed over a thousand times with a different date and time starting October 1, 2006 and running to October 23, 2006. So every day has a listing every 5-10 minutes.
October 1, 2006 9:05 am
October 1, 2006 9:10 am
and so on.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Everytime I delete them, it's right back after a soft reset. Not all at once but each day another 50 are added.
You have a rogue script that is making all those notifications for you. It would have been from a program you installed but identifying which one is difficult. When i had this i ended up doing a hard reset.
Thanks meschle!
I kinda thought the same thing. Was tryin' to avoid that. Dis ting kinda slow down...
I have the same thing in mine. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Hi gldrush98 - it will slow the device down as it did mine - the notify.vol will slowly get larger and larger - so better of without them IMHO.
Meschle,
Do you think it would be possible to "just" delete these notifications (yep, my device have a lot of them too...) instead of doing a hard reset??
As far as I remember MemMaid makes this possible?!
:?
I'm not entirely convinced it's a bad script.
I think it's part of the phone and how it works.
My mxip_notify.vol file is only 124k.
If only I could read what the entire notification says. Arggggg

yes you can do that but if you have a rogue script they probably will return, but worth a go. Yes memaid will do this as will sktools and also the free check notifications (free) find attached.

I dont have any of these script notifications or any problem with the notification queue - so i dont think its a part of the phone. My mxip_notify.vol is only 32kb. :wink:
While Memmaid does show all the notifications you have to clear them one by one! Not good when you have over 700 to get rid of.
The program that meschle posted - Check Notifications - allows you highlight all the ones you wish to get rid of and press delete. The errand notifications I had were Script:0x0 types and Check Notification has a check box the will delete those as it does away with dups.
Thanks mecshle!!!
hi all,
been testing quite a bit of software (spb mobile plus, omapclockplus, batterystatus-plugin, etc) and i often find that sooner or later my notifications are screwed - i don't get popups reminding me of meetings etc. i've tried cleaning the notification queue, removing duplicates etc, and always end up doing a hard reset and reinstall of all my software.
this is getting *annoying* - can anyone point me at an explanation of what's going wrong and how I should try and fix it?

have just used a variety of tools, none of which did anything with automatic deletion. what actually *worked* was using memaid, and searching for all notifications with an action of "NONE" and deleting them all. soft reboot and all appears well.
now, how do i stop this happening again?
I would like to know too But, it seems to be gone so far. It seems like installing uninstalling software will cause this problem?

i've seen that (can't install it right now as at work and exes in zips are blocked) but it's nothing particularly new. installing the battery_status plug in borked my calendar reminders last night and clearing all notification type "none" entries using memaid hasn't fixed it this time. i suspect the answer is to stop using plugins like spb mobile shell and battery_status. just restoring my wizard now via SPB backup to see if it helps...
From the software that you have mentioned, the only common software you and I have is this battery_status. However, it just doesnt seems right as I don't think battery_status mess with noti q.
Well, if you want to keep battery_status, you may want to take this drastic approach. The last time, when I've noticed the same problem, I've searched and try to solve the problem by clearning the noti q. However, accidentally, instead of removing doubtful noti, I removed EVERYTHING. However, to my surprise, after a soft reset, the system seems to have rebuilt the q, each and every reminder.
Do a backup first before this drastic approach.

Careful
What the Scarybear notification removal software, it sometimes clears out them all, leaving activesync failing. If this happens run 'FixASRunAt', you can find it by search in the forums, this will ensure Activesync does not fail.

much appreciated, dude!
I had the same problem. Suddenly the tasks did not remind me anymore. The device turned on at the scheduled time but there was no notification popup or sound.
What I did was delete every task from the device, delete all the notifications related to TASKS.EXE with the tool found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104, sync with Outlook and move the deleted tasks from the Deleted items folder to the main Tasks folder so they're back, and that's it. It's working again!
Hope the tip helps someone!
guys need help..
got one annoying problem bout my alarm... ive seem to disable all my alarms but the phone still recognizes my old settings.. how to explain this errr,,, well previously ive set the alarms at 6.00 am , 6.25 am and 6.30 am... after a short while the phone hangs so i soft reset it, then after that i've set the alarm to 7.00 am,7.25 and 7.30 am, (max 3 alarms can be set) but the prob is everyday the phone alarms set off at the 6++am time... even tho ive change them all to 7++AM and there is no way to disable them since only the 3, 7oclock alarms is avaible on the list...
so now i have a total of 6 alarms...
guys how to fix this without hard resetting,,,
TQ,
Do these 'phantom' alarms show up in your notifications queue?
You need something like Memmaid or Scarybear's Checknotifications to see these.
Look at the ones called calendar xxx or clock xxxx
Make sure from the descriptions that these are notifications you want to keep, if not delete them, also delete any duplicates.
DON'T delete any other notifications, these could be needed by the system to function correctly.
When I had similar alarm problems, I did this and found I had around 500 alarm/reminder notifications, some going way back, and some for May 2047!
When I got rid of these and the duplicates, it came down to around 40 and my alarms and reminders worked properly again.
Hope this works for you
ive downloaded Scarybear's Checknotifications but i do not know which to delete..zzz calender.exe or clock.exe?

I am more familiar with SKtools and Memmaid than Scarybear, but the ones to avoid deleting are any titled repllog. If Scarybear has a delete duplicates function then you should be safe to use that. Entries for alarms may have a title such as windows\clock.exe. In sktools I can click such entries and it tells me what alarm it is and when it's set to go off (not sure about Scarybear)
Good luck

PS Get a good Full backup programme like SPB Backup and then you would not need to worry about deleting the wrong thing.
When you first run the app, it marks all the duplicates in red, just press clear to get rid of those.
The ones to look at individually are the ones like:
Clock.exe - then scrolling to the right, these should have an entry under dialog title like "daily alarm" and then dialogue text like "Alarm: Wake up 10.30"
Make sure that all these are for alarms you want, delete the ones which aren't.
the others are:
Calendar.exe, in the dialogue title these say POOM xxxx and in the dialogue text, there is a description of the appointment you have set the reminders for.
You should be able to tell from these if any are in the past ie reminders you thought you had dismissed, or indeed from ridiculously in the future like 10 years time.
Delete the unwanted ones of these.
Also worth checking are Tasks.exe entries
Plus any other apps you have which can put alarms on the system eg some notes applications
Then use the exit button to exit checknotifications and see if this improves things.
The problem seems to arise (on my device) in 2 ways.
Firstly, in the past a reminder will have come up, and I think I dismissed it, or while I was dismissing it, something else happened on the system, incoming call, another alarm, crash, anything really, and somehow the dismiss instruction never seems to have 'taken'.
The other way is using Windows mobile live client. It seems to put notifications in every time you soft reset, so you can end up with a lot of WLM duplicates. It also seems to sync a whole load of old 'stuff' to the device, together with old notifications
If you find this helps, do consider getting Memmaid or SK Tools. I use Memmaid every day to clear junk out of my device. It's not free like checknotifications, but it does a whole lot more and has repaid the investment many times over (they do a free trial). SK Tools does even more, but is also I think easier to do something 'silly' on.
Also, the one thing I couldn't do without is a good backup program. I always take a series of backups. That way a hard reset needn't mean hours of re-installation. Usually about 20 minutes max.
all right..
I did as you said and i think it worked.
Thank you so much for helping.
No probs.
Remember, this isn't usually a 1 off problem. If it does fix things, keep an eye on that queue for a while and make sure things don't build up again.
Background:
ATT8525 with the ATTWM5 Rom
All of a sudden no alarm will work on this device. I have SPB Time and City Time Alarm both installed and ever since Saturday morning my daily alarms do not sound.
Thought it was a fluke at first but I've been playing with it tonight trying several different times and nothing seems to work. I even tried the built in WM5 alarm and it didn't work either.
This isn't related to the no sound issue I've inquired about in the past as right now all my OTHER sounds are working.
I've also done multiple soft resets and I've checked and double checked that my phone has the correct time and time zone.
Any ideas?
Thanks
It sounds like you have some duplicate/out of date/bad notifications in your notifications queue.
First do a full backup (just in case) then:
You need to use a 3rd party app such as Checknotifications (free), Memmaid, SK tools.
Use one of these to eliminate duplicate notifications and see if things start working again. If not, unfortunately you will have to go through each one manually. Look at the ones beginning Calendar and Clock. Make sure that the time/date for these is in the future. Delete the ones that are not. Leave alone the other notifications some of these are necessary for other processes.
See if it works now.
If not, you may have to do a hard reset. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.
Memaid did the trip as it was a built up queue of notifications. Not sure what caused that but at least it's fixed without having to do a hard reset.
This never happened with my 8125, strange.
Also, this fixed a couple of other issues I was having.
My 8525 had stopped pairing with my automobile's BT and it did this morning, and the last few days the phone and stopped doing the first active sync of the day (at 0700) automatically. It did this morning.
Looks like I may check into purchasing Memaid. It's a handy little program.
I have to admit, it's one of the first apps on any device I own. Especially now that it has a reg editor too.
Beware, you may need to do the notifications queue clearout quite frequently, just keep an eye on it for a day or 2. I've found that if you use windows live mobile, this puts 3 or 4 duplicates on your system at every soft reset! Don't you just love microsoft applications?

Oh thank you.
At first I thought you all were just ganging up on my since I'm across the pond from you all. <G>
Kinda back to my original question.
What is up with the Notification Queue? I currently have 37 "time based" entries. A few of these are obvious. But I have a whole mess named "\\.\Notifications\NamdedEvents\Scripts:0x0023B3D0" and a couple of dozen more with similar hexadecimal(?) endings.
They are all "dated to run" on September 26, 2007 at various times of the morning.
The thing is, nothing is in my calender on that date. So what in the world are those entries? Are they safe to delete?
Thanks
Don't mind us, if you play with Windows mobile, you just have to have a laugh as often as possible (makes up for all the crying!).
On your alarms/reminders/notifications etc, do you have the setting on for 'flash light'? If so, do you have this set for no limit? If so, I think these are your scripts as above. If they are set as no limit, I think they go on for around 40 days or so. So probably they relate to an event 40 ish days before 26 September.
They might also relate to some other software you are running. I understand TomTom puts some strange notifications in.
If so, they are PROBABLY fine to delete. As long as you do a full backup before touching them, then if it all goes pear shaped, just restore your backup.
Whatever you do, don't touch the repllog.exe entries. These relate to activesync and if you delete these, you will have a lot of trouble with synchronising.
If, however you do accidentally delete a repllog file that you should't, Mike has written an excellent guide on how to get it back!

Thanks. I think the message notification thing is the reason. I do have the flash light checked and their seems to be a correlation between the entries and the number of messages I currently have in OL.
Thanks again for all the help!
Hopefully I can return the favor sometime.

I hope by now you have solved your (our) problem. I was able to fix my problem by installing a free program from Burr Oak called Wakeup Tweak.
I never ever RAN the program - I just installed it. During installation, it asked me if I wanted to use default notifications and I said yes.
I then tested an appointment alarm (before running Wakeup Tweak) and the alarm worked.
Hey there... I used to have the same problem under WM5 (I think it was a known fault and the idea was to fix that for WM6). My reminders didn't work, and my alarm, initially came on but I could not dismiss it, and so came back on the moment I switched my phone back on etc. I found that using Pocket Mechanic and then deleting all 'clock.exe' entries i which have the word obsolete added under the type column solves the problem. I think some people have experienced problems doing this and it messed up their device. I, personally, never had any problems but you may want to back up things just in case. Again, it's not a long-term solution and I had to do that every couple of weeks. The deleting of duplicate notification did not, for me, restore reminders etc. I have to say ever since I upgraded to WM6 I have not had this problem so I guess Microsoft fixed this issue.
