Alarm clock will not switch off!!

I one set an alarm (WM5 clocks and alarms) to 05:30 on my SPV M5000 and now I can't get rid of it!! I have removed the tick in the tick-box and even changed the alarm time but still my little SPV wakes me up every morning without fail :evil: How can I stop this without doing a hard-reset? Any ideas?

Try using a notification queue cleaner, and/or if that fails, just delete the alarm's registry keys.
Make a backup, then go for:
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Clock >
Then delete
0
1
2
Write back if it does/doesn't work.

Thanks vijay. I have deleted the alarm in the notification queue so hopefully that will do the job. I will see what happens at 05:15 tomorrow!!

Yeah, give me a call at 5.15 if it doesn't. That'll learn me.

Siorry Mate, I know it is not funny for you at all but...

Obviously give columb a call as well!

On the other hand, if you switch off all sounds alarm will not wake you up AT ALL! That's why I was late on last Thursday 25 min...
Just forget to switch on sounds...
Cheers!
Chris

columb: don't you get the message box telling you the alarm won't sound until you switch on notifications?
I made my today plugin show an icon to show if the alarms are enabled, because I often forget as well (bottom right):

Hmm, how I can have same today screen? I'm new to windows&PDA.
Hm, I've instaled even Win XP one more time.
BTW. I can't belive thuis, but like for me WM2005 it's not tested AT ALL!
Beta. (or even pre-Alpha). WHY?
Why I can't sync over WiFi or why I can't sync with Linux? ((
Thanks!

i have the exact same problem with the alram clock!!! it goes off every day at 12 noon even tho i've removed that alram ages ago and done numerous soft and 2 hard resets!! its driving me mental plz advise people!! if a registry modification is needed how do i do it?? what software do i need to get into the registry?

Just to check this out: did any of you:
1. change a lot in the things in the Sounds and Notifications manager?
2. Put your own sounds in the system folder to use them in the S&N ?
Huib

yep and yep! guilty of both! the ghosts of the old alarms no longer haunt me however, everything seems to be working as it should for the past week or so. the only thing i did was install pocket mechanic and run its registry cleaner as well as cleanup the duplicates in the notification queue! hope this helps!

And you still use you own sounds. Where are they: In the Windows folder?
Huib

yeh theyre in wav format ( i think thats important cuz i tried the same tones in mp3 and they didnt work) and theyre in the windows folder. let me know how it goes.
one more question: the reminders for calendar dont seem to loop or repeat, it just goes off once and thats it! is that normal?! thats not the case for the other alarms! can u try and let me know? im using the standard alarm 1/2/3/4 sounds..it flashes vibrates and sounds but only once despite having checked the " repeat sounds" option!

But the settings/sounds&notifications tab:notifications has the option "repeat". Is that switched on?
Huib

I had the exact same problem when i first got my M5000, my alarm was going off at 6 in the morning, and i can't tell you how irritating that was. I installed Pocket Mechanic and deleted it from the notifcation queue. It never came back until last night when another alarm did it to me, so i've brought pocket mechanic now so i can keep an eye on them!

I was adviced not to use the repeat alarm function, and run CheckNotification on a daily basis.

Well, its al this #@#$%%@! notification queue. I installed the latest I-mate ROM so I had to do a hard reset which gives me rest for some time.
The only (brute force) solution till now.
from now on I am even more concentrated to find out what triggers this problems.
1. Playing with [email protected]?
2. Soft resetting?
3. Battery drain so shut off without being able to save to that queue?
4. Programs like E-wallet or Listpro that write to that queue?
5. Agile? Let my Jasjar hang regularly so as in 2 or .
6. Too heavy/large sound files? Programs conflict cause they have to wait till those souns are ready? My Agile hung e.g. when Jasjar alert was vibrating an did not stop vibrating.
Huib

I have a similar problem - except that I can't turn the alarm off - I get no notification message coming up - just the alarm going off. I have to turn the volume off and then soft reset - this normally stops it.
Anyone have any ideas?

My Vario 2 doesn't vibrate anymore

Since a couple of days, my MDA Vario 2 stopped vibrating when I get a phone call or a new message. I tried the volume settings (vibrate) and the phone settings (call & vibrate), but none of that helps. I also tried enabling / disabling event sounds (as can be read in another thread) but that also doesn't help.
I'm using ROM 1.21.114.3 (Dutch T-Mobile 20 june 2006).
Who can help me???
Btw, I tried updating the ROM to the latest HTC ROM, but the upgrade failed. (luckily my phone still works ;-) )

I had this same problem and also my vario2 included parts of emails when sending text messages, contacted t-mobile uk they was aware of these problems and done a software update, since ive had it back theres been no problems.

I remember that this can be caused by a certain software used to disable led blinking - did you install anything like that? Don't remember the name right now, but if you used it you will know, I suppose.
The leds and vibrate function use same library, so disabling first will disable the other, too.

I've not installed a program that modifies the led. I used PocketZen, but vibrating worked fine. I tried uninstalling it, but vibrate still doesn't work. I'm now using a T-Mobile ROM. I'm considering updating to another ROM to see if the problem disappears.

Ringer/Speaker Not Working
Sorry I can't help, but I'd to throw in a problem that I'm having.
My ringer/speaker no longer works. I've tried all of the volume/ringer setttings to no avail. Possibly a hardware issue?

I've updated my ROM to the latest HTC ROM, but this didn't solve my problem. :-(
Anybody any ideas on how to solve this?

Im having the exact same problem too, sometimes the vibrate works, sometimes it doesnt (more often than not), its totally random!!
At first I thought it might be someting to do with the strong magnets in the leather case affecting it somehow?? But now im not so sure:S
It only started a week or so ago but its soooo annoying and I dont really want to go throught the hastle of a hard reset or anything in a "just to see if it fixes it" thing.
If anyone has a solution (preferably not sending it off) I'd love to hear it!!

You could try installing PhoneAlarm, this application does a lot more, but one of it's functions is to set alarm/vibrate etc, it also has profiles and you can control wifi/bluetooth etc etc from it. Downside is that it's a Today plug in.
But, it does have a trial, and might be useful to see if it will correct your ring/vibrate probs.

Hello, everyone.
I am a newbie to Dopod838Pro. I have learnt a lot from this forum.
My phone has stopped vibrating, too. I have tried installing phonealarm and even hard-reset.
It still does not vibrate.
Anyone knows how to solve the problem?
(I guess the problem started when I was "too quick" to dismiss a notification. I dismissed it before the phone had vibrated.)

Possible solution for some see here:

In search for a simple vibration .exe

Is there a program, that when run, makes the device vibrate?
I need the program (to be run on schedule) as a silent reminder

this is a program vibrate on touch
when you touch the screen the device vibrate
to turn it on just click on it
and to turn off click on it again

oh thanks, but thats not what i'm looking for, looking for a program (or script) that makes the device vibrate (for about 2 seconds or pulsing a few times) when you run the program, so that vibration can be scheduled (by a different program)

Silent alarm?
Uh, why not just make an alarm and set it to vibrate but have no sound?

because i need vibration to reoccur every 15 minutes, activated at some days
a alarm have to be shut of, and doesn't reoccur at minute interval

You need to search for a profiler. One that you can set up days you want a certain profile to be active and other days you don't. Then you can create your every 15 minute appointments on that.

You can use mortscript for that. The command is "Vibrate(<time in miliseconds>)".
So "Vibrate(1000)" will make your device vibrate for 1 second.

Thanks a lot

Available in this thread .

i have a mortscript code to vibrate the device each hour
you can modifit to vibrate .......times

or use this one (made by me
There is no help file , but if you run the program without any arguments
you'll see how to use it.
I can also mentione it here :
Create a .ink with '\link\to\ngVibrate.exe' 3 50 100.
Phone will vibrate 3 times each for 50ms with a 100ms pauze
let me know what you think, be gentle it was my first application

hmm
I can really see my wife installing this and getting some real use out of this....
especially touch screen and it vibrates... makes the prospect of going to work a whole lot more interesting for her
thx for this, perfect birthday present for her

2 nd file stopbell.mscr to stop the script
this run when the device still off its good for battery life

Help with 'Do Not Disturb' Mode

Okay. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe my phone's just not honoring my settings. But my DND mode isn't working. I have it set on a schedule to kick in everyday around 10pm and disable at 7am. I have custom exceptions for favorite contacts, alarms on, repeat callers on, but events/reminders off. I don't have any apps set for priority notifications. But I still get sound notifications for just about everything. On top of that, I still get reminders from the apps I set it on for (messaging apps, mainly SMS). Am I doing something wrong?

Mine force closes every time I attempt to go into the settings. The only way I can get it to work is by manually turning it on and off via the quick settings bar. It does work because I received e-mails, texts etc. while it was turned on and it never made a peep. I googled it, and other people are having the issue also.

Maybe it's your font settings? No problems with mine and no problems having it block stuff when activated. I use it daily when sleeping because I work nights.

Nope went back to default theme and font still does it even after a reboot

I had the same problem and it miraculously started working again

I had the same problem. Started playing around with notification settings for individual apps tonight. I believe I have the settings right to avoid getting notifications when I don't want them. Here's a screen shot of one of the apps. You have to go into each app you DON'T want notifications for and set them as they are in the screen shot. Hope this helps.

UPDATE from previous post - it would appear that my advise above is garbage. I continued to get notifications even after I made changes to individual application notification settings. I'm stumped at this point. Samsung needs to address this.

And while they are at it, add the damn LED to the do not disturb mode!!! I don't want to have a bright green LED shining in my face overnight, much less a blinking one.

Nokia 6 Incoming Call Screen

Greetings,
I've recently bought a Nokia 6 for my mother, and, after some time, she is having a problem with incoming phone calls: she reports that, since two or three days, they are not showing anymore as they used to (screen below), but rather only as a pop-up on the highest part of the screen (similar to any notification from any app). I've tried to fix the problem for her but it's seems that the only way to bring up the old interface is to click on the pop-up, but my mother would rather have the "blue screen", as she calls it, every time she receives a phone call.
Thank you all for your time and sorry for my English, it is not my native language.

Okay listen, this is not a problem actually, from android lollipop to oreo, it was maintained that if you are doing something with other app and suddenly a call came and tak you to the whole incoming call interface
This intrupts your current apps working, but now it depends on you, whether u want to accept the calls from the top of screen or you can finish working on the current app like you are using whatsapp and messaging someone and suddenly a call come, then you might can answer the person you are messaging that an incoming call is coming just wait for a while so i come back after call to join you again.
This can help you making understandable thing between people you talking with or you are doing any bank work and suddenly an incoming call can intrupt that work so you can finish your work and accept it after few seconds
Hope you get your answer

Hi, I am facing a slightly different issue. When the screen is locked, there is no Incoming Call Screen, instead only the screen gets lighted up with the digital clock, along with the ringer ofcourse. Any idea how to fix that?

Ok thanks. I think I will reset the phone since It seems after the Oreo update most of my notifications, especially the Outlook and AccuWeather apps are behaving strange. The phone automatically kills their processes.

HI, I am facing a different challenge. When the phone rings while it is in my pocket, the phone automatically gets answered, even if I dont want to pick it. How can I change the setting of my phone so that it responses as per my instruction.

You can look under Settings > Display for an option called something like prevent wakeup when in pocket.
Alternatively, a hammer should do the trick.
Edit: The phone just broke my hammer, I'm out if ideas.
