my problem is, that alarms are silent. wizard is actually waking up, alarm's message and time is showing, vibra is working but... no sound at all. it used to work ok, i didn't change anything in settings. only thing is, that i've installed check notifications few days ago and removed duplicate clock.exe notifications - maybe that's the reason? but on the other hand - calendar reminders are working just fine, with sounds.
anyone had such problem and solved it without hard-resetting device?

I have a strange issue with Alarm/Notifications in WM5
I had set an alarm using the built-in clock/alram app. Normally when the alarm rinds, there's a dismiss option in the soft buttons in WM5. This is how it has been working for a while.
Strangely, two days ago, the alarm rang but there was no dismiss option... there was no way for me to snooze or dismiss the alarm. I muted my phone and after a while un-muted it and the alarm was gone. Then i went to the alarm app and disabled the alarm.
The same day, i set up an appointment in calendar. When the appointment nitification came on, the sound was played but again, the dismiss option was nowhere to be seen. I couldnt snooze this alarm either.
Now this is one issue, the main annoying issue is that whenever i soft-reset my phone, these two ghost alarms (the original alarm which does not exist anymore, AND the notification for that entry in my calendar which i couldnt snooze, because the option was not displayed) they start sounding as my phone is half way rebooting... And there's nothing i can do to dismis or snooze them.
Any idea? any help will be appreciated. thanks!
I have exactly the same problem. I have set an alarm using the built in Clock & Alarm app in WM5 and could not dismiss it when it came up. Since then, whenever I do a soft reset, the alarm starts up while the device is booting. The annoying part is that it was set to repeating alarm and that's exactly what it does after each soft reset. It repeats less and less frequently and eventually it doesn't repeat any more, but there is nothing I can do to turn it off. I have tried resetting all the options in the Clock & Alarm app but still no luck. I have tried removing the Alarm events in the Notification queue, but they keep coming back after each soft reset.
Has anyone experienced this before, and found a solution to it?
BTW I'm using i-mate JASJAR, but this post describes exactly my symptoms.
I've done some further investigation, and I found a couple of entries in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Shell\Reminders\ that match the description and time I have set up originally for the alarms that keep sounding after every soft reset.
I have tried deleting the entries in the Registry, but after another soft reset, the entries are back! How can I get rid of these for good?
It looks like I've solved the problem...
1. I have deleted the entries from the Registry using Resco Registry Editor that matched the Alarm descriptions that I originally set for the alarms that later kept coming back...
AND
2. I have deleted the clock.exe notifications from the list using Check Notifications from ScaryBear Software.
Once I rebooted, the notifications didn't reappear, the registry entries didn't come back, and most importantly, the ghost alarms didn't go off again!
I have tried both 1 and 2 above before individually between resets, but not both together. When I only did one or the other, both the notifications entries and the registry entries came back after the reset, causing the ghost alarm to keep running after each reset.
I hope this will help anyone else who gets into the same situation.
Thank you very much!
It worked, the alarm was driving me nuts!
I have the following problem and am cutious if anybody has the same problem and eventually found solutions?
Sometimes I get multiple reminders for the same alarm. This does not happen for alarms from calender. I get this only from alarms which have been set by the Clocks and Alarms menu. When the time comes it gives me multiple reminders. Sometimes up to five and I nedd to press 5 times Dismiss.
Does nobody have a solution. Is it something to do with the notification queue????. How can I access this qued notification?
i like it this way! this way i will WAKE UP instead of falling back to sleep
you can choose the number of reminders / time between reminders from the settings,
I don't use it though I use pocket music player and Megasoft Pocket Clock
I'm currently getting the same alram non stop with no dismiss option any way tot stop that this is the second time it has happened and the last time I had to hard reset. Fo rnow I have turned off all sounds but still get it vibrating
Any Ideas?
google for Check Notification
to detect any of the 'alerts' that are bugging you and delete them

Get MemMaid, or Pocket Mechanic, both tools great for sorting out a few problems, one of which is duplicate alarms...
i have a problem with alarms being 1 hour late because the device apears to change its mind about which time zone it's in!
Hi guys...
i've been experiencing a few software problems on the phone. can you check this out for me...
I have all my sounds set to different ring tones.. ie. phone ring is dog bark. reminder is alarm 3. new message is something else..etc.
Everything remains fine... until a reminder goes off for an appointment
Whenever i make an appointmentwith a reminder and it then goes off, it plays the pre-installed default sound instead of the one i've chosen. What it also does...is it then resets ALL of my sound settings including my phone ring, my new SMS sent, my wake up alarms to the original default sounds. WTF?
After 7 hours of trying different things..I've narrowed it down to the reminders. so.. no reminders = i keep my sound settings...and i can't stand the preset bank of sounds the TYTN came with. grr.
Can you verify that for me please? is it a software bug? I'm in montreal this week getting married (YAY) and so i'm going to be away from my machine and cant afford to do a hard reset and lose all my contacts).
Thanks In Advance
Cheers.

PS.
Also, anyway to set all sounds to go to the storage/my documents/my music folder instead of the internal windows "ring" folder? i'd love to know how to edit this in the registry (i'm sure it can be done), and use this folder for all my reminder/alarm/msg/ring sounds...Its just I have no experience in hacking the registry or know where to begin looking.
thanks
Hello, i dont get any notifications when my phone is on standby mode.
this includes:
Email
SMS
Alarms (windows alarms)
notifications for calendar events.
how does i fix?
okay, so try going to: settings - all settings - personal - sounds and notifications. There thick what you want. With the SMS notification while on stand-by, there is a bug which HTC solved (releasing a hotfix - found on htc.com). Tell me if you have any more problems and if you have solved these problems
No calemdar notofocation when the pin is set-up
Hi,
I have a similar problem. When the phone is on standby and locked (eg. after 15 min) I can not get any calendar notification working.
They all show up when I wake up the phone and enter my code.
The only workaround is to disable the lock, but I need it to be set-up (company policy)
Note that other notifications are ok:
- Call
- SMS (after installing the patch from HTC)
- Alarm
Thanks

Any progress on this?, I have installed the official htc hotfix for sms, makes no difference for me.
While the sms not notifying is a frustration, I could probably live with it but...
Alarms are the real problem for me... I can't rely on the device as an alarm clock as the alarm simply doesn't sound until I bring it out of standby with the power button.
Any cure for this, is it hardware or software? do cooked roms exhibit same behaviour?
P.
I have the same problem. I have downloaded the fix from HTC, but still my email does not play a sound (the LED flashes though).
I have not checked other things (SMS, alarms etc.)
It would seem VERY silly if the alarm doesn't sound!!!!
For e-mail, you have to go and turn on the notification for that in the sounds and notifications settings,
Settings-->All Settings-->Personal-->Sounds and Notifications-->Notifications-->Event:Messaging: New e-mail message
And select it to play a sound of your choosing.
it is not switched on by default, in this case that is good for me, if I got a notification alarm every time I got a new e-mail, my phone would be sounding alarms pretty much all the time....
The alarm problem not waking from standby, I have posted in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544112 a possible cure, working for me for 2 days at least...
P.
Strangest thing happened today.... all reminders failed to sound on my HD2. The items I set on the calendar and has reminders turned on - the HD2 failed to sound the reminder - there's not even a message bubble on the top bar to indicate I missed a reminder. It's as if I never set a reminder. This caused me to miss meetings today.
I have not installed anything or edited the registry yesterday and it was working fine till then.
Items I checked -
1. System clock - it's correct
2. the calendar item - it's today.
3. settings\sounds & notifications\sounds\"Enable sounds for"
Events checked
Programs checked
Notifications checked
4. settings\sounds & notifications\notifications\reminders\
Play sound checked
display message on screen checked
What could be the problem?
missed calendar reminders
Ive had the same problem
It was working fine just until yesterday and all of a sudden the reminders just stopped.
Any solutions out there would be very much Appreciated .
reminder alert
My reminders seem to be working again
The only thing I did in between it not working and when it started working was to sync the phone with my calander on my computer
Seems ok for now
Hello,
I've the same problem.
My reminders don't work... Even if I create an event now, that should remind me in 30 minutes, nothing happens.
Settings are similar to what you described in your first post.
So, does anybody have a solution? How did you solve it?
THANKS!
