good alarm clock program? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

does anyone know a good alarm clock program?
cuz the built in alarm clock sucks!
all it does is make a little low dot noise, grrr
i was late for work today cuz of it, i woke up an hr later wonder what that noise was, >_< lol
and where do i change the alarm tone?
all i see is the reminder tones.
and the wav files i set in, isn't showing up on the list, pcm conversion too!
grr

I use PocketWakeUp, because I had problems with my stock T-Mobile Rom and the WM5 alarm program (who doesn't!).
Although (one day, by accident) I noticed that the alarm of WM5 worked like it should on my Qtek 2.18 Rom
Check out the attachment, but if I am right there should be a topic called something like "Reliable Alarm Project", you should check that out to.
But for me PocketWakeUp works great and is one of the must-have apps on my device.

excellent log !

this program is free right?
thanks!

Alarm Clock for wizard Help

hi, i have problems with wizards alarm and i was wondering,
dose any one have or know any good third party alarm clock software?
someone else in another forum here asked a similar question. My favorite bar none is Chronos. I've used it for a year or so and have never once missed an alarm
where do i get this Chronos?
where do i get this Chronos?
Firstly, ever heard of google?
Secondly, don't bother it will not wake up the device from standby so it is effectively useless.....
Says who it won't wake a device out of standby? I use my wizard as an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. After 8 hours it is most definitely in standby.
Agreed, google is your friend, you should be able to find a trial of Chronos on any of the normal pocket pc software sites (handango, pocketgear, etc.)
Try the trial and see if it fixes your problem... I would be willing to bet that it does.
Errmmm,
I have the trial version (so it is the latest and not cracked or illegal); it does not wake the K-Jam out of standby (especially when snooze feature is used). This is also the case for my wife's XDA Mini S as well. Alarms are a well known problem on the Wizard; you must be a lucky one.
Hi,
Give pTravelAlarm a shot...
It's really great... it does wake up the device - and it turns it into an effective alarm clock. Really nice. Using it on all my business travels.
Google pTravelAlarm
Oh, and it also has a today plugin. Great little proggy.

WELL i have installed it. (pTravel Alarm) and it dose not wake up.
the simple way of doing this if anyone wants to use this software is that you use th wizards standard alarm to wake the wizard and then time it to set off after 1 min.
After my hardreset i did not install SPB pocketplus and my wizard never missed an alarm again. Although some people with pocketplus do not experience any alarm trouble i will stay away from it.
Also there is a free program called "check notifications" or something like it. It searches for duplicates/corruptions in your notification database. (probably responsible for the problems)
i'ts a standalone .exe file that you can copy to your ppc and then run from there. I heard it does wonders...
You know what, i will attach it to this post as an extra service

THANKS
if i remove the duplicate file will take currupt my Wizard?
eeehm i have no clue as to what you're asking here :shock:
But i guess the question is about the notification checker
just run it on your pda,you'll get a list of all your notifications (alarms), it will show the duplicates in red to delete.
the file will not take corrupt your wizard, but don't give your corruption wizard taking of the database :lol:

Chronos... the alarm clock of the gods!
I've been using Chronos on my K-Jam with the original and new ROM and it works a treat, waking me from stand-by, snoozing etc.
check out http://www.activekitten.com/en/games/detail.php?ID=351 for more info and a trial... their support is great as well... let 'em know how you find it for you on your machine
try Mobialarm 3.2 - works for me and plays most types of media files including wma. And its free
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=587
And yes it does come out of standby

AHHHHH
This is driving me crazy.
Downloaded, installed and looked really good BUT......
When the alarm goes off and I press dismiss, it just keeps on vibrating.
I cannot stop it NOTHING I have done short of going to my running programs list and KILLING the app stops it vibrating.
Is it just me???????

not good. it's done that to me, only once on the original (pre AKU2) ROM but I've not seen it do that since. might be worth a support request just to let 'em know
ALARM
I use mp3alarmpro.net and it wakes my k-jam just fine and without fail..
Best part is you can choose any mp3 or wav file from any folder in your device

How did you download this?
Each time I try their download link it takes me to their site map page.
seems to be broken. have sent an email to the ActiveKittens to find out what's broken! Hopefully they're just releasing v2.9....
Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.

set it to be your calender notification and make an appointment with an appropriate time and reminder period. you can't do it in the clock settings.

Don't use SBP time - it doesn't like WM6
it's so hard to wake up to music on the uni...
Try PocketMusic player, i use it to stream from my network, it also has an alarm clock built in that will play your selected track.

Alarm clock !?

Hey guy my alarm clock wont repeat the sound just plays it once, i've check the repeat box it wont work .
could any one recommend my a good alarm program for ppc that would play mp3's and such .
Thanks
I like pTravel Alarm
the alarm will repeat after a few minutes.
anyways, so far there aren't really any decent alarm clocks for windows mobile. Hope that someone programs one. pTravelAlarm is okay, but its big. almost 3mb for just an alarm clock?
try SPB-Time
SPB time is good as well. But then again, almost 3mb.
wish someone would program a finger friendly alarm clock that's less than 500kb *hint*
a basic theme would be ok, i mean come on... when the alarm goes off, you'd put it back to snooze. and you cant even barely see yet see you're like half asleep. GUI doesnt have to be nice, since you'll just look at it for 1 sec

Wolfclock
http://wolfclock.en.softonic.com/pocket
free, repeating alarms, works on BA Wm2003se and Wm5/Wm6
as well as the wm5/wm6 Hermes
Customisable backdrops
I use this with my other BA that is not in use for it's general purpose
it sits on my bedside night table on the charging cradle running this app as an alarm clock hehe
PoketWakeup (freeware) or Chronos (comercial)
http://page.freett.com/todamitsu/AlarmClockE.htm is nice
but the thing is you can only set alarm for 1 alarm. No presets
is it possible to make stock alarm clock play mp3's ?
impossible ?

Alarm Sound

Does anyone know how I change the alarm sound? My HTC only has a few (bad) tones and I have no idea how to add some new ones!
if you mean timed alarm sound, i suggest to install Pocket wake Up, the best way to get wake up with the music of your choice.
ugh. French? :s
you can download winff (freeware) which will convert your sounds to wav, then copy the wav files to \Windows\ on your device.
otherwise Pocket WakeUp is good, but you must use "WakeUp Tweak" (google it) to fix the issue where the program launches but the phone does not play the alarm sound...

Installed Pocket WakeUp, gave it a try and it works like a charm! I'll use the default alarm aswell for a few days to check if I have problems with it. If so, I'll install the tweak.
Anyway, it's a pretty nice program. I found some files in english but cannot install them for some reason. No prob, as I know French
with pocket wakeup, it is strange because my phone goes into suspend mode during the night (normal), but when it is time to wake up the program launches but the phone does not wake up, and does not ring...

Alarm wake up
hi , i have been searching for a way to change my pooh alarm tones on my touch dual ,and i have found this program, you can use wav,mp3 ,set any amount of alarms,repeat etc,,,tried on mine and works a dream .
hope its of use to someone ,
hi.
i'm gone try it to see if it works well at my touch dual.
(sorry my english)
I have many custom alarm signals. You simply convert the mp3s (or other files) to wav-format (on your PC) and then copy over them to /windows on your phone. They will then be visible in the alarms drop down.

Request Alarm Clock Fix

Hi all, I'm new to posting here, but have been snooping about getting all the good bits for my BA for a while. So thanks very much for that!
I've recently upgraded to WM6 and noticed that the alarm clock is almost exactly the same as the one for WM2003SE, but for one small difference. The alarm clock repeat is so far apart that there is next to no point repeating it. I'm a heavy sleeper and need something that constantly goes off to wake me up. I used the alarm clock on my BA for a year or so without it ever failing.
I've read through the other threads; here and here; and I've decided that instead of adding to my BA's memory usage etc, I would prefer it if there was a little fix which would just go in and find where the alarm program is, and change the repeat time to maybe 2 seconds after it finishes playing? Is that possible?
Many thanks!
Heya,
I've sent you a private message as well, but the best opp for this is SPB Time, the only problem is that it isn't for free...
But this does it all, it wakes you with 2 big buttons on screen, snooze and dismiss and you can just select no matter which MP3 on your device and select repeat times or number of repeats and even plan for a whole month if you like...
Greetz
Or if you are a music lover.
Try Pocket Music Plus.
It is a commercial software too and it uses your playlist as the alarm melody.
sent you a pm.
Thanks to both of you. I'll look in to them both and see which I prefer.
I was really after a fix for the current alarm clock, asit used to work great in wm2003SE, apart from teh occasional bug if one alarm over ran another it would crash.... But thanks, I'll try both of them!
