I've tried the alarm function (Settings/System/Clock/Alarm), but it wasn’t reliable. So I switched it off again.
Now I here the alarm everytime I reboot my MDA Pro.
What’s wrong?
Try checking your "Notification Queue" for a calendar/alarm entry which hasn't been cleared. You can use software such as Memmaid or SKTools to view this. I personally prefer the first one.
Click on the first notification and see when this was due - if this falls in the past you should be able to just delete this.

Tnx! - Worked...

wow that sound like the problam i had a while back. i would get tons of random alarms right after a reboot. but it went away after i removed BBConnect., but come to think of it i stopped using the alarm clock at the same time too. i wonder which one it was.
I have captivate that runs on Firefly froyo ROM. I have an alarm set in my phone that is supposed to sound every morning. But when I reboot my phone everytime for replacing the spare battery, the alarm is not re activated. In simple works, alarm scheduled to sound everyday does not reactivate itself after reboot. Have to open the alarm, disable it and again enable to reactivate it.
Any solution for this. Also any app that solves the problem? Same thing happens with calendar reminder events. After reboot, the calendar reminder events do not work. HAve to go to the calendar app for it to activate. Any alternate apps for the problem?

Under Sounds & Notifications, when one selects "Reminders", there is a tick box called "Repeat".
Presumably this means that when an alarm sounds, it should repeat until dismissed. Mine only plays once. Am I missing something?

Hi there,
Mine's a XDA Exec, and it does repeat although it pauses for about a second or two first. Not nearly loud or persistent enough to be a really decent alarm clock though!
OK, so it seems that aeAlarmPlus is the way to go - looks for an alarm and then comes up afterwards to do a repeating/escalating thing of it's own. Works well.
hi there
ok if u talking about alarms then go to clocks & alamrs --- go to alarm tab then set the time whet ever u want to set then click on the "BELL" icon
there is the option to make it repeat and even u can chose the sound

Yeah, I am using it too.
My problem is that I cant kill the alarm. It gets repeating and I am getting more and more mad. Or is this on purpose ? as I have to wake up and tick the box of with the stylus....
Anybody has the same problem?

Playing with alarms may have been the reason why my calendar was not able any more to remind me.
When soft resetting even alarms of all kind made me mad.
I hard reset (horrible job with a lot of work to do) solved my problem, but I do not touch the alarm any more.
Hope your problem is different

i have the same problem. It goes off every time and repeats for a couple of times and I dont see any option to close/kill it.. good thing I still have te sense not to bang it against the wall like an alarm clock.
i guess if the built in alarm function is not working or it goes crazy, just use any other free alarm application. i know theres a lot of free application out there.
I did do a quick search, but couldn't find owt, but can't believe I'm the only person with problem.
I use the supplied Clock & Alarms for my alarm clock, but sometimes if I'm using something else on the phone, or already have notifications like missed calls when my alarm is due to go off, if will still sound, and vibrate, but won't come up with a message about it. Giving me no option to turn the thing off!!!
So it will go off fow a minute or two, then go quiet, then every five minutes will repeat, again with no message.
Even if I reset the device it will still continue.... I either have to wait for a message to come up, which can take 30+minutes, or if I get really annoyed with it clean reset it :-/
If anyone does know how I can get rid of this error, or what file I can load to give me the message, it will be much appreciated!!!
alarms and repeating alarms are well known to be highly unreliable.
spb pocket plus has an add in to assist with repeating alarms, but I never found it much help.
may i suggest you dont repeat them, this is a big problem.
mine got so bad after a while I had no choice but hard reset. it messed up all the system notifications and just became plain unreliable.
Yes, I've had exactly the same problems and also with Spb Pocket Plus repeating alarms too.
I've since disabled this option which has made things bettr but still not perfect

at least your alarm goes off, mine does not. an expensive device like the xda exec and a simple thing like the alarm wont work after new o2 rom update
:? :?
Does that mean if I use alarms, but don't select "repeat sound", that may be better?
I upgraded to the i-Mate ROM, and TWICE now the notification queue has died for the calupd.exe and calnot.exe. Adding appointments with alarms make no additions to the notification queue, hence I miss all my alarms.
The only fix so far has been to hard reset, and wait for the next time the notification queue dies.
Are you using Sprite Backup?
I found it to be the culprit and I have switched to SBP Backup now.
Sprite CRMdesk will give you a patch "PostBootPopup.exe" if requested that helps the problem. It solves the many notifications in the queue that can't be cleared or dismissed normally. But the issue of not waking for any alarms remained for me with Sprite 5 - even with this patch.
works perfect for me!
I just added my own sound file which has a little more agressive waking properties ;-)
If you're stuck with an invisible alarm you cant get rid off, you can use scarybear's "check notifications" proggie and take out the notification which has messed up....

The only, hard reset. There are some you can, some you cant.
Bewarned.
the phone will not stop alarming and it does not give me the option to turn off the alarm or even see the notification. I have tried a soft reset and also turning off all alarms, along with the notifications and sounds settings. If I turn all the sound settings down to zero the phone does not audibly alarm but it still vibrates, even though the vibrate feature is turned off. All started when I dropped my phone.
I cannot figure out how to fix this, and its driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a notification problem - use check notification to delete duplicate notifications (only delete these not all of them) Click options/settiings and tick both boxes. There may be a null notification that is often a problem that you will need to click on and delete.
Run exe on pc desktop after activesync your device.
how do you get there
I cannot find the area that you are talking about. can you give a more detailed way of getting to that area with the names of the windows that I need to click on? Thanks,
Dave

I assume the program is installed on your device. Click on check notifications icon in startmenu\programs. Click on options then settings and tick remove duplicate events box and remove script 0x000 box then ok. Then click clear and it should clear all duplicate notifications for you.
I actually had the exact same problem on my 9100. After a couple of days I simply went ahead and made a hard reset....and havent had the problem since
Jakob
I had this problem a couple of times as well. Clearing duplicate notifications (using CheckNotifications or MemMaid) and the offending notification does NOT solve the problem. It will stop the errant alarm, but the next time one of your regularly scheduled alarms goes off, you will have the exact same problem. It's as if there's some error in the program which is responsible for creating the little box with the alarm message in it and switching the left soft key ot a dismiss button.
So unless you plan on never again using your alarm clock or setting reminders for anything, jacking with the notifications will not solve the problem.
The only way I have been able to fix the problem is with a hard reset. I'm sure there has to be some other way, but I sure haven't found it yet.
Is there a cure for this or no? I just downloaded check notification and ill give it a shot, but so far it shows no duplicate alarms on my system which i find hard to believe...
Did you tick both boxes in the options and delete a notification called null - have to click and hold to delete it. The alarm notifications are under clock.exe - delete all manually if not showing up duplicates. (click and hold)
Don't use WM 5 alarms at all
I use ActiveKitten's Chronos Alarms - no worries at all!
I also had this problem and a hard reset was the only thing I could do. Afterwards I restored my backup and never had the problem before.
I was setting the alarm on my herm using the Clock & alarms application that came with windows mobile. i set the alarm time (810am) and checked off the box to enable then i clicked OK and my phone froze i restarted it and i saw that it didnt save my alarm... so i set another alarm... well now I get that (810am ) alarm without setting it and i cant stop it because it doesnt show that anything is set... can anyone help? maybe there is registry i have to edit or delete something.
thanks
Try to run this program and see if it helps (backup first)
My alarm is messed up too!
Sometimes it goes off like 5-7 times, at a time and leaves me with 7 notifications.
Sounds pretty strange too having it try to play the alarm 7 times at the same time.
Will have to see if that program can do anything for that too!
EDIT:
Wow, it found 335 duplicate notifications. Hope fixing them solves the problem!
I'll be happy to hear if it helped you

Have exact same problem, think there must be something related to the amount of time the phone has been in standby too, if I test an alarm, by setting it to go off in 10 mins for example, it works fine, left overnight, never works....
I had issues with the alarm after using Klaxxon and uninstalling it.
I am currently testing to try and get it working each time and seems to be ok.
I reinstalled Klaxxon ticked force remove windows alarms and intergrate applyed the changed and soft booted the phone.
I then started klaxxon again and remove both ticks and soft reset again.
I then used AlarmFixWM to remove duplicate entries from the notification queue.
Not 100% if this now works 100% but seems promising.
Im sure there is an easier way but the above its what I did.
Found this thread which seems to be related
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333521
Have installed SK tools, cleaned notification queue and set it to run cleanup auto in middle of night....
Alarm actually went off this morning...
Hardly conclusive, but gives me hope!
Odd, seems to be a longstanding WM2003/5/6/6.1 issue, not TD2 specific, but I moved to topaz from an artemis where I never had a single alarm problem... you would think if the artemis hardware could cope with my appointments list/alarms etc. then a topaz would be fine too...

Alarm sounded again this morning
Happy Days...
Will post back here if problem reoccurs,
Otherwise, assume this has worked for me.

Hey popkid,
Any chance you could post exactly how to do this using SK tools? I cant seem to figure it out and I have this annoying alarm problem!!!

1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Hit Tools (Bottom Right) --> Settings
3) 2nd Tab "Automation"
4) Toggle "Notifications Queue" to "Use in Auto Mode" if it isn't already
(Take a look through other run options to run and deselect them if you don't want them running automatically)
5) Toggle "Scheduled Run" to "Yes"
6) Set time/day/date etc. to run (Mine is set to run at 3.30am every day, probably overkill!)
7) Set "Silent Mode" to "Yes"
and you are good to go
Alternatively, to fix your Notifications Queue just once:
1) Fire up SK Tools
2) Category (Bottom Left) --> Maintenance
3) Select "Notifications Queue"
4) Action (Bottom Left) --> Mark Duplicates (should be a fair few if you are having alarm problems)
5) Action (Bottom Left) --> Delete Marked
Hope this helps, post back if not!
Good Luck

Thanks Pauly, ill see if G-alarm wakes me up in the morning!!
Dunno if you guys can help, i got Klaxon and alarm is fine, but if i snooze using shake then it never goes off again!
Can you show me your settings or give me any ideas?
My solution: Whatever alarm you have, install HTCPedia Topaz Setting Tool, go to Power Settings and set AC Resuming and Battery Resuming to 20 seconds, works EVERY DAY for me with Klaxxon.
That change made no difference when I was having my difficulties, think that gives the device longer to process your notifications queue if it is large, but if the notifications queue has other issues then it won't help.
P.
Edit: SFAIK Think G-Alarm changes both of these registry values to 120 seconds on installation, That is what they are set to on my TD2
they are located in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ if you wish to edit directly,
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout" and "ACResumingSuspendTimeout"
But does that fix the snooze function?

doesn't sound like the same problem you have to be honest, the notifications queue stuff is related to the alarm never going off in the first place...
I'm not a klaxon user, but have had it installed in the past, are you sure that you don't have the light sensor alarm deactivation switched on or it set to switch the alarm off (rather than snooze) on shake?
P.
Thanks for replying mate, how would i know about the light sensor bit?

I thought there was an option in Klaxon itself to use the light sensor to deactivate the alarm when a light is switched on?
Ah... Ok... just checked Klaxon release docs and it seems that isn't implemented yet... so thats a red herring!
It does say though... flip phone over to snooze
and shake to deactivate
I'm guessing that whatever you are doing is triggering the deactivation rather than the snoozing....!
One way to check, if you enable the integration to TF3D in klaxon then the time noted for the next alarm on your front page should increment to the next alarm set once the alarm has been deactivated, but not if it is snoozed, I think anyway.
P.
hey, yeah sorry i turn it over! it used to work with stock rom i think .. do you know what each option does in klaxxon? might just try g-aram or something?

No, sorry not sure, guess there is some sort of sensitivity set somewhere where it determines whether you are shaking or just turning over, I used to use the turn over function in klaxon when I had it and it worked fine... in G-alarm I get what you describe btw the sensitivity is set such that when I turn it over it thinks I'm shaking it and deactivates, so that may not provide the fix you are after either... and G_alarm isn't free... if you hunt around, I'm sure there was another klaxon thread on here (possibly by the developer himself) that had some details of the sensitivity being changed between releases, may be a reg edit you can do to fine tune it?
Good Luck!
