After the duplicates in notifications another old school bug came to me.
My Wizard did not wake up this morning and it is the second time it happens.
when I turned it on the alarm started to go off.
Definitely they built WM5 on a crappy unpatched version of WM2003.
Did it happened to somebody else?
If it is only me I'll try to remove some softwares that could incriminated.
On the other case did you find workarounds.
That's pretty tough if you can not rely on your alarm clock...
this has happened to me recently.
someone suggested a setting under tools, advanced in pocket plus if you have that installed.
waiting to see if that fixes the issue for me ...
Well this has happened to me. I've had my 02 mini for 1 day and on the whole I'm pleased but this AM the alarm did not go off which is a real problem for me. Luckily I had my trusty old xda2s which woke me up. I switched the mini on and the alarm sounded.
No software installed, in fact I skip all the o2 install and just have default windows 5.0. Maybe this is the problem !
This is similar to a problem I used to get on my xda1 when the alarm would not go off ( infact the whole phone locked up and I needed to soft reset in the AM )
Any ideas ?

I had the same problem on Wednesday morning - I set an alarm on Tuesday night, and it didn't wake me up!
I then tried to set an alarm for 15 minutes later than the current time and that work.
i did originally set the alarm to repeat, no light, no vibration and didn't bother making that change for the one that worked. I'll have a play to see if there's any common "feature" of alarms that don't ring.
And yes, I did check that the alarm was enabled , and enabled for the right day!
I'm no further with this - anyone else observed weird behaviour?
Same for me, the alarm goes off when I turn my Qtek 9100 on...
Same thing with my 9100, russian localized. Was late at the office today thanks to this "assistant"!
Hm... My russian localized 9100 works fine.
Message and Alarm issues
Hi all,
As I have found these problem very annoying, I decided to mail dopod, and this is what they said (and some more):
Dear Sir:
The mobile 5.0 system use new operation behavior for ROM control. It will save the changes for setting, file when power off (stand by). So if you soft reset it before power off (stand by), it will cause some data changes lost. Please power off (stand by) first, then reset. It should keep the data changed well.
And the download agent is use for download file in internet explore. It will download the file automatically you select a file it support in internet explore.
Thanks for using Dopod products.

Hi, I recently purchased dopod 838 in thailand. overall I am pleased with its feature and capabilities. But I encountered several problems: soft-reset issues, each time I soft-reset the phone,the alarm which I dismissed couples of hour before rang again! also some of my messages are deleted (sms and e-mail); alarm itself has issues, sometimes it won't ring. btw, what does download agent do? I have visited your website several times now and I haven't seen any improvements ever sice. application section only provide manual and still no games. I would hope to see some application which might help me with my problems, also it would be convenient if you can make it mobile-friendly. thank you for your kind attention, I would appreciate it if I can hear from you soon. Regards, Aditya Pamungkas
Can anyone confirm and comment this? as I have found no problem ever since. thanks

hmm, that doesn't explain why mine didn't set the alarm... I didn't soft reset it.
However, it could explain the root cause: alarms are being set, then the device is turned off before the RAM has a chance to update the registry/flash/whatever...
A bit of debugging should prove/disprove this. I'll have another play
More playing... This seems to be something to do with turning off before the ram state gets a chance to update the flash, and set the appropriate flags, etc.
I wish that microsoft had a trouble ticketing mechanism!
booooo
I'm a long time lurker but cannot withhold myself from posting after reading this
This happened to me also a cple of times.
Alarm (the one in te clock settings) and notifications from the calender both failed on me 1 or 2 times allready. It's un-F*&^**-ing believable :x
A $700 PDA cannot do what a $1 dollar wristwatch does flawlessly.
And this has been an issue since WM2002 as i can remember, thats the saddest part.....
It's one of the most important functions of my pda!!
If I had an (real life) assistant i'd sure fire him if he made me miss my appointments.
any updates on this ?
a pda that does not have a reliable alarm is pretty much useless. :-(

Strange. I have same device and same bug.
Alarm not going off
Same happens with the HTC Universal (JJ).
Must definitely be a WM5 problem
Cheers

1st: I could not stop an alarm and had to make a hard reset, from that time I do not use the repeat functionality.
2nd: My morning alarm was "lost in space", from that time I check the notifications, and clear duplicates.
3rd: I had set the alarm from Mon to Fri, and on Thu the alarm was lost, it disappeared from the notif queue.
WM5 is unable to give a reliable alarm? It works for a time and suddenly gone?
What app would fix it?
Well, i did the hard reset and flashed to the lates k-jam rom.
I also did not install SPB pocket plus (one of my favourite apps )
Because i was suspecting it was slowing my system down.
And voila! untill today, my pda did not miss 1 alarm.
So i'm thinking spb pocketplus might be the culprit.
Can you guys confirm that you all have spb pocketplus installed when running into this bug?
No problem on my Qtek 9100.
But I use a french software named Pocket WakeUp 1.1
See : http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1299
For those who don't speak french I can translate the commands in english if you want...
there is also another freeware application made for this bug: search for WakeUp Tweak on http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/
But I'm not sure yet if it works completely well on WM2005
sometimes it does, sometimes i think it doesn't...
Wakeup Tweak is only for WM2003 first Edition.
I don't think it will work for the actual issue on WM 5.0
Hi guys, please help save my sanity, I use my T-Mobile MDA as my alarm clock in the mornings and have done so since I got it on Ebay about 4 months ago.
The problems started this morning though, when the alarm activated it didn't give me the option to cancel with the left soft key or snooze with the right soft key - it just kept going....and going....and going!!!!! Even after a soft reset.....so I turned it off and removed the battery, refitted the battery and turned it on and the alarm started to go again... and again... and again I managed to stop it after a while but I dont know how because I'd restarted it and soft started it and switched off the alarms so many times I lost track of what I did!
Then this afternoon when I disconnected the MDA from my PC at work it locked out (it does this quite frequently - a different problem but still annoying though) I normally fix this by carrying out a soft reset, which I did....then the bloody alarm thing started all over again EVEN THOUGH THE ALARMS WERE ALL DISABLED, 45 minutes of mucking about again and now it has finally stopped again....please please please can anyone suggest how I fix this cos if I can't the phones going in the bin - I mean the unit is a useful little business tool but its got lots of problems that make it a pain in the as* sometimes. I dont know what software its running or anaything like that cos I'm not sure where to get these details - sorry.
Many many many thanks in advance.

use clear_notify.exe and remove duplicates of "clock" events.
or
check_notifications.exe
Try to use SPB Time http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en , they did have few bugs with their alrm system, but in this new version they have rectified all the bugs, and it is really working fine, keep it in mind that once u use any other software for alarm then DO NOT use the basic windows alarm. SPB Time has also got a nice ScreenSaver functionality with your own picture support.
GoodLuck

No problem - i have tried a few alarms and they all use the same notification system for setting up an alarm so i do not think one has any benefit from another in terms of reliability (although you will always have diff people swaring by their paricular alarm) but diff ones have extra features - eg. play mp3, wma's etc...
IMHO you can have a reliable alarm by
1. Keeping the notification queue clean - i feel these errors occur when the NQ becomes large/corrupt
2. If it is for a morning alarm - plug your device into the mains and do not let it go into standby - this will give you a reliable alarm.

Hi everybody
I've got a small problem with my HTC TyTN. I've got an alarm set for
07:03am every mon,tue,wed,thur,fri.
Wednesday about 3 weeks ago that alarm went off twice at the same time, the wav sound that is set to the alarm goes off and is heard with a echo.
And i had to close the alarm twice on the screen.
Thinking it was a onetime-thing i didn't care that much.
But on the thursday after the same thing happend again. I then removed the alarm completely and set a new time (07:05) with one of the other alarm check-boxes.
Strange thing, now i get a double-alarm at 07:03 mon-fri, and a single working just fine at 07:05. Even tough there is no alarm set at 07:03 anymore.
I've rebooted the phone, with all alarms off.
Still the double-alarm is there. I've managed to live with it for 3 weeks now, but it's getting a bit too much now
I do not wish to do a factory-reset. Are there any registers that could have been f-ckup?
If so, what can i do and how?
Any points, tips, tricks are welcome.
Thank you.
We need some info dude, what apps have you installed and also what format is the sound file in, also where is it? (SD card or device memory).
Update your signature with the details of your device (rom version, radio version etc... and also update your profile with your provider and country...it helps to have them in your sig so we can diagnose anything a bit quicker )

This problem has been written about many times and from many different angles. They all point to clearing your "notifications" queue that can accumulate all kinds of duplicates and junk causing alarms to go off twice, not stop going off and no notification to pop up etc etc:
To do this use:
Scarybear - Freeware
Or
SKtools - not freeware
Or
Memmaid - not freeware
These links will give you links to the above applications.

mrvanx : Thank you for your input, i'm quite new at this game as you might see by my post-count. I'm working on the signature now. Thank you for your input.
mikechannon : Thank you, i'm going to try Scarybear first to see that it solves the problem, then i'll look into purchasing one of the others.
Thank you all for your help.
be careful, very careful.
scary bear is to good, you can delete or change stuff you shouldnt, and never get it back.
i tried and failed. hard reset to fix.... it starts to happen i find when you soft reset a device when notifications are happening, and thus duplicates the original and a new one.
I tried out a few, and found that TaskMgr2.7 was perfect for me.
Scarybear, well i never even got working
But thank you for the warning.
Hi everyone,
did any of you ever had the problem that the "messaging" doesn't open?
It happend about 15 times during the one month I use this phone.
Sometimes I press the "messaging"-symbol on the touchscreen but nothing happens. Then I try to navigate through the menü to open up the program but nothing happens there either. All the other functions and programs work correctly but the messaging software simply doesn't respond. A softreset always solves the problem until the next time it occurs (sometimes a few days, sometimes a few hours).
The only programs I have installed are Batti, Xperia Tweak and S2U2 and the phone is branded with Vodafone Austria A1.
Hope someone can get me some advise or bring up a solution (I get a lot of EMails and Text messages each day and it's quite annoying when something does not behave as expected).
Thanks in advance
This happens to me too but i just do a soft reset as you said. It doesn't happen that often though. Maybe its batti? I think it use to happen more on my touch pro where i used batti. Maybe someone else can confirm
Ive had this problem loads, as have many others with no solution. You just have to soft reset. This phone is buggiest phone ive ever owned. Its beyond belief. I dont use batti btw
I have this problem too, i just assigned one of my keys, the silver ones to messaging..i hope they fix it with an update soon
Thank you for your input,
at least it's good to know that I'm not the only one
Maybe this happens when there are a lot of messages in the message center. I deleted the 1000+ text messages EMails even now and will see if this issue occurs again. But this would be no satisfying solution (if it will work) because the messaging ability has been a reason for me to buy the phone
Hey yesterday i noticed a major issue. I was sending quite a few texts and in turn receiving quite a lot back. However after receiving about the 1st four messages they no longer began show up and my tone didn't go off. The only reason i noticed that something wasn't right is because the screen lit up and when i went to inbox there sure enough was an unread message- even though the screen never displayed a new message!!!
Today I'm still experiencing the problem...along with an obviously related issue. Ocassionally when i click on messaging it simply won't open and i find myself soft resetting the phone or turning it off and back on.
Obviously this is a major problem for me!...Please help me! Everything else is fine!
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/
bump!
i got the EXACT same problem, it is so annoying..
it shows no number of unread messages at the enveloppe on the today screen, however when you go in the message boxes there clearly are some unread messages, both e-mails and text messages..
is there ANY way to fix this? it's so incredibily annoying!
Have any of you tried removing some old messages?
I know I had some trouble with messages opening slow, but when I deleted a bunch of messages (and emptied the "deleted" folder), it worked great.
tried that just now with no luck, works on no other panel either..
I deleted my messages too and also uninstalled xperiatweak as ive heard this can cause problems...i havent yet had a chance to check the progress but as for the messaging tab opening up i dont seem to get that issue anymore *touch wood*. I
have noticed however that i get the occassional overload of device.exe errors and i mean overload...once one pops up about at least another 5 do! Even if i press send report or don't send report...it happens. I end up pressing the panel key :/ There are some definate bugs that need sorting.
Actually still no luck with xperiatweak gone...i got quite a series of device.exe errors and then after they'd gone i went to click on messaging and once again nothing happened...nor would contacts show! i think i may need to hard reset the phone!
megh i'd hate having to do a hardreset, don't want to lose my installed appz and having to install plus configure them again >_<
ive just done a hard reset...which i agree is a pain! But wow i forgot how fast the xperia is...i think im going to keep which apps i install to minimum and only install what i need. Obviously the error has been picked up from somewhere... What apps did you previously install? Maybe we have something in common?
torch button, mplaylist manager, neoFTP, pocket scrobbler, remote touch, skype, total commander, xchange r8, youtube panel, google panel, windows live panel... oh yea and tomtom7..
probably some stuff i left out due to them already being uninstalled.. maybe they left some traces in register i dunno..
pardon my french but f*ck this, i just did a hard reset too, will install the english rom too.. stupid dutch windows mobile.. (i know it's not the languages fault but it's an ugly language )
After hard reset...it has just happened again. I then thought it might be vistahide battery as come to think of it it didnt happen before that...been sending testers after getting rid of vistahide and everythin else ok. But i only have the new panels installed...no other add-ons now! So god knows!
Still experiencing this problem from time to time...very annoying! Hard resetted twice and no luck as such. It really is very annoying as i often miss messages if i don't see the screen wake-up Please...anyone know a solution or have this issue? Thanks
Bump .
Anyone?....
"zoelucker
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/"
noticed it happens whenever my mobile got a full bar 3G receptions... what about you guys?
Yes ive noticed a random wake-up and ive thought 'oh that must be another message with no sound grrr' then i look in messaging and no message...so wasn't that and was jus a random wake-up.
It is really starting to irritate me now and today my alarm didn't sound when it's been fine since i've got it! I wondered if the problem was connected? Do you think the new update (well not officially released yet)...the new rom or whatever would solve the problem? Please any light on this...the messaging one is my main problem because I can just set another alarm clock but for messaging...its what a phone should be able to do. Thanks.
Seems like there are few people who are experiencing this problem.
I have the same problem as you all are. I've tried emptying the message but no luck.
If hardresetting doesnt work, then the problem doesnt related to any kind of software we installed?
yea i hard reset twice so i know it doesnt
Its driving me mad now! Its the only issue i have with it and its a real shame because i love my X1 otherwise. Do you think the new FW will solve my problem?
I was receiving messages fine 20 mins ago and then 5 mins ago i got a random screen wake-up but thought it was a message that hadn't come through properly so i tried to go into messaging but it wouldn't open up....i tried everything. clicked it so many times. changed panels. nothing. in the end i had to soft reset the phone :S
