I have a problem. The alarm time is not set, yet every morning at 9:45am, my alarm goes off. In the alarm program, no days are selected, and none of the 3 alarms are turned on. Why is this MDA beeping like crazy every morning at 9:45??? I've tried soft resetting, but for the past 3 days, it still goes off

It had the same problem, I once set the alarm at a certain time, disabled the alarm but it kept going off each day. I was unable to find the cause of this.
It did not searched futher because I was intending to change firmware at that time, of course It was gone atfter that.
What kind of software are you using, maybe we had similar stuff running.

you probably have some undeleted notification duplicate in Wizard's system and all you need is CheckNotifications:
http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/checknotifications.zip
run it on Wizard and look for entry which might look like your 9:45am alarm and delete it. should work.
I don't have much software installed. Just SPB Pocket Plus, XDA RegWizard, OpenNETCF, and Flash Player. It's pretty much stock other than a few skins.
EVA_D, again I run into problems. I'm a mac user, and we only use macs at the recording studio, so I can't install the .exe file. Can you possible install it on your computer, and then post a .cab file for me??
Ahh this is a nightmare....Luckily the past few days I've had to get up early, but usually I work til 2am, 4am, sometimes even 6am (At a recording studio), so a lot of times I don't fall asleep until 8am, and if I get woken up at 9:45 because of this, I will probably crush the phone in the palm of my exhausted hand...
anyone??
Here is the check notifications exe taken from my device - just run it on your device should work.
If that does not work i will post memaid to you from my device.
If nothing works then its hard reset time - then use a different alarm, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43692
That doesn't work. I emailed the exe to my phone, but it wont install. I need the cab file. Can you post the cab that is extracted from the exe?
Strange works on my device without a cab install.The exe is a standalone exe not an install exe. Sorry dont have cab for it
Ahh, I didn't realize it was an actual app, and not an install file. It's loaded up, and I have 472 events, which the app says is very high. So how does this work?? Am I supposed to clear ALL events??
Does the MDA store ALL the event information from the day it was turned on? It seems so because 472 seems to be a lot. Is this a bug on the MDA that may cause it to run slow? What (if any) are the effects of clearing ALL events? Will this basically be a reset pf the phone and require me to set up my mail, proxy, and other information again, or does it just deal with notifications and whatnot?

NO! not ALL! get into Options -> settings, check both boxes -> OK. then tap 'Clear' button on top of main screen. number of notification should reduce significantly (in my case it's about 15-20 after clearing). some notifications are essential for running system and should never be deleted.
Wow, 472? I think I have 13. You definitely need to do some spring cleaning there.
if i delete them ALL what is the end result?

Hi,
the same problem with my mini s, but new info. I remember that I have set a notification at 1:00PM someday last week, and it was good. after that, It keeps notifying everyday at 1:00PM and I cant find any entries in the notifications or tasks.
I used the program posted above, but it did not show any alarms set at 1:00PM.
Stupid wizards,
Any help?

Since installing the latest O2 ROM upgrade I found two problems:
1. Alarms and timers (chronos, spb time) don't wake up the machine. I need this feature and this a major problem for me, surely must be also an issue for others.
2. I don't want the battery icon on the top bar, I want just the clock.
Does anyone knows a trick to change for the better any of those, please?
Thanks, Gonz
1) u can install 3rd party Alarm Softwares.
2) search the forum, there is a solution

Really?
Care to post a link? Everything I've read says there is no solution yet.
Look in your startup folder, there is a file that activates the battery icon (I can't rremember what it is called and I don't have it anymore, but I seem to remember it's obvious when you see it).
Delete it (or copy to another safe location) and your battery icon will no longer appear.
OK, it seems my problems are not so simple to solve, after all.
These are the files in my startup folder:
sddaemon, services, theme refresh and voice command.
Could you tell me which one to delete to get rid of the battery icon please?
Uhm…, and what about the problem of timers and alarms failing to wake up the device? Do we have to use the dull Microsoft application?
Thanks

hdubli,
I do have lots of third party software for this purpose and they all fail with the exec wm5, something that did not happen on my xda 2i with any of them.
If you please care to be more explicit with the solutions, I am sure several here would appreciate it.
Thanks, gonz

For your alarm problem, check out pTravelAlarm
http://www.burroak.on.ca/wm2005.html
You are looking for version 2.6.0, which is for WM5 - their site claims that it's a trial version, but I've found it to be faultless, even after applying latest O2 ROM.
It's not free and I can't promise it'll work for you, but it's worth a shot.
If I can't leave my Exec plugged into mains overnight, I disable the "Turn device off after..." in Power Settings and it hasn't failed to wake me up yet.
Its volume control isn't linked to your device's, and it's loud enough to put the fear of God in you...[/code]
I am having a similar problem. What you guys dont seem to understand, is, even if there was a $1000 3rd party alarm software, it will be of no use when the phone refuses to wake up.
The problem we have is not of the alarm software, but the simple problem of the phone not waking up, e.g. from standby to ON.
Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thank You
This forum has not resolved the issue of the battery, hunders if not thousands of people are awaiting some miraculous fix for this. the only thing I know to work is using wizbar to reskin the title bar.
in relation to alarms, sorry, i know the wm5 is a problem. though, the inbuilt alarms that i have used on the device do wake the device up.
the other thing you can try is, dont turn it off, dont allow the system to turn it off after a period of time, and just close the device without turning off.
it will drain a little bit more power, i think approximately 15% over the night than what it would otherwise draing, but if it is plugged in, then it wont drain at all and will ensure the device wakes up.
thanks, it is probably rom related since u report that your device does wake up. Can you tell me what rom version u are using? Thanks

Many thanks, I did try not to switch it off and it works!, even the timers!
my rom is in my signature, unlike yours.
what i was saying was it wakes it up from its sleep, but not its off state.
just closing the clam was sufficient to preserve battery, especially given that at night its always charged. even during the day, i rarely turn it off. i just close the device and let it rest....
Why is the "turn off device if not used for" alway
Does anybody know how to prevent the system from ticking this box every time?
My machine does it on its own, yes, it does, sometimes even after changing from landscaping view to normal.
So, the advice of not turning it off to make the alarms work is OK, but needs constant rechecking that the box remains unticked!!

My suggestion unrelated to your problem is to keep "sddaemon.lnk" out of the "start up" folder. If you haven't noticed yet, if you keep sddaemon on the start up folder, after performing a soft reset this file is duplicated under "Notifications" taking up your precious memory and slowing down your machine. You can check it if you have a program that cleans your Notification Que such as "Scary Bear's Check Notification" (freeware).
For the alarm one, does anyone tried using PocketWakeup? The original one is in French, but there is an English version too. Google for it and see if it works on the universal.

I was going to recommend the EN Alarm app, also called Mobile Alarm Free. This is a great app...never failed since installed over a year ago. Must have insomnia. I've attached the zip file that has the cab (install first) then the "install" file within the zip. After full installation, the foreign language files can be deleted giving memory back.

WARNING it has been posted in this forum to not download ANY sw from "warez". Don't really know why, but it has been posted by admin and moderators.... You don't need to go to any website, where it says choose windows song file, or choose song file, tap on the box of your choice, and get your songs out of file explorer, if you have any. If you choose a MP3? from your dtorage card, tap the UP box, then quickly double tap on Storage card, double tap the song you want, tap OK, you'll see a box pop up showing your selected song..tap OK. You'll then be asked if you want this to continue. Tap yes or no, depending on what you want. You'll get the hang of it. By the way, you set the alarm time on the right side with the first 2 boxes for the hour, and the next 2 boxes for the minute. Ex: 9:00. The left side is already set.. it's the month(9) and day(5).
Here's screen shots step by step on how it's done.
dont worry i know what warez is and i wouldnt download it from there, but couldnt work out who made emalarm thats all.
thanks for the screenshots
well pocket alarm works great so far.
easy to deal with and you can choose run or sugest to run any app in your phone so you can set u an alarm to make a call an when it the time the alarm sounds and dial for you or open the dial pad choos the # or the contact and you just need to press talk, you also can run a video not just a .wma as your ringtone (videotone) I think is a great app.
I basicly want to use the build in alarm thing.. but I need more then 3 alarm clocks. can it be somehow extended to more clocks?

let me guess, your using G-Alarm. Although i havnt used G-Alarm iv done some research for you.
According to this site where G-Alarm is hosted http://www.ageye.de/
there is a windows alarm bug that causes this
heres what the site said you should do
"Don't wakeup at midnight
Because of the Windows alarm bug, G-Alarm wakes the device at midnight so Windows Mobile can rebuild its notification queue. If you turn this off by inserting or changing following line in your settings.xml, it may happen that an alarm doesn't go off:
<MidnightWakeUp>False</MidnightWakeUp>"

I noticed this also, although not at midnight or any particular time and not consistently either. It seemed to be syncing with my exchange or at least everytime it did it my emails and appoints and such were all resynced and refreshed.(I have it set for "as items arrive") Funny thing tho is it only lights up the screen occasionaly when doing this. Also it seems to be a rare occurrence maybe once a day. Not a big deal at this point.
Microsoft MyPhone
Mine does exactly the same and I think I narrowed it down to when I have Microsoft MyPhone set to sync.

Not to state the obvious, but have you checked Settings > Sounds & Notifications to ensure that notifications isn't unticked?
I am using SPB phone suite which has profiles.
I checked notifications is ticked.
Is it just that the notification tone isn't playing?
There was a bug with some of Dutty's roms that if your notification tone wasn't set to the default one, it wouldn't sound at all.
Yes no notification alarm or pop up.
So I have an appointment for 10 am and I put a 30 min reminder. I will get no reminder, the profile will switch to meeting mode automatically but no popup reminder or sound notification.
Im using the stock ROM.
Some one please help.
I had the same problem few months ago but after about a week time it started to work again itself. I don't know why it didn't work. Since then the problem didn't appear any more.
I suspected S2U2 but I don't know if it was the reason.

Not sure what culprit is, but you could backup your contacts/emails etc, do a hard reset and see if problem still exists on bare rom. If it doesn't, install one software at a time, test if it works, then proceed with next app until you find possible culprit
I noticed that changing the patterns in calendar from "occur once" to any more complicated, like "from Tuesday to Friday" i.e. might be responsible for the problem. Few months ago I started to create more advanced remainders in calendar and after couple days it stopped remind me of any event.
I didn't notice where the problem was, because the problem didn't appear instantly but after 2-3 days.
Few days ago I tried to edit patterns and two days later the problem came back again.
Could someone investigate this issue on his own HTC to confirm the source of the problem, please.
Is there any update for calendar?
PS. Sorry for my poor English.

Well after 2 days it went back to working by it self.
Its working fine now.
I do have 1 complex reminder. Basically it says remind me every 24th of the month for the coming 3 years
But thats still working normally.
It stopped again. I have not modified anything.
I had that problem too. The free app pmClean fixed it for me:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pmclean-v1-06.html
You can set it to automatically repair the Notification Queue every day, which seems to fix the problem with reminders not triggering
alltruism,
I have Memmaid and used to find duplicates/dangling/expired/invalid and it found nothing.
Ill try the app you mentioned and hopfully it fixes it.
Ok in downloaded and installed PMclean v1.07 and i cleaned notifications. The first time I had like 27 and then after the cleaning it said 42. Then further cleaning just locked it at 42. Arent the numbers supposed to come down?
Anyway, I restarted and then tested. It worked, I tested again and it worked.
Wow thanks a lot Alltruism,but how come my Memmaid could not pick up on those Notification Que anomalies?
Using Enom's or Cy's ROM...(with the Nextheme and Goodies)...the alarm doesn't go off at 530am!
Anybody know if it's the ROM itself or the Theme+Goodies? Or do I need to experiment myself? (I've experimented with setting the alarm to go off an hour after I set it....it worked...but not sure if it worked because I was playing with the phone at the time)
All I get when I wake up is the trackball blinking. I've read somewhere that the alarm turns itself off after an hour...but I wake up around 5 minutes after the alarm was supposed to have gone on.
Good thing I used a backup alarm...otherwise I'd be in deep Sh------------it!
My alarm didn't go off today, but did yesterday. I have the clock as ignore in my task killer.
What I have found is that my ringtones somehow get lost on the SD card and not played. I am not sure what is happening!!!
Not cool though.

If you use any sort of task killing application and do not ignore or exclude the clock, it will kill it, and your alarm along with it.
Problem is that I ignore the Clock.
But when I go to check the Alarm Ringtone, and press play, it doesn't play anything, just a VERY LOW beep. Worked yesterday, nothing today.
Very odd!!

I like to push the audio files to the system and into it's corresponding folder. Maybe you can try that.
For me...I totally forgot about task manager! I never thought of it because the Alarm Icon is always displayed on the notification bar next to the time...whether the clock is killed or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning after I exclude the clock app from being killed.
Kind of makes me wish the Android 'stole' some stuff from the Blackberry.
Can you explain that a bit more? How would I do that?
Will Astro work?
I honestly think it is an SD issue and yes, I never had that problem with my blackberry. They keep the ringtones on the system memory and you never have to worry about it.

I'm guessing that it will only work with a rooted phone. (Mine is) This is what I use. Root Explorer. I take the files from the SD card and move it into the system/media/audio/alarms directory.
Not sure if Astro is able to access the root of the phone. Otherwise I guess you can use
adb push alarmfilename.mp3 /system/media/audio/alarms
Either way you do it...reboot the phone.
Got it, and done, thanks.
Will see if this works.
