Hello,
I am new on Windows Mobile, coming from Nokia 9500, so I feel a little bit stupid, because maybe I did something wrong.
So when I set a reminder in the calendar I hear nothing any more, neither a notification... abslutely nothing.
The reminders on Outlook on the PC just work normally on the same appointments.
Settings:
[email protected]:
Events : on ---- Programs + Notifications : on
Screen taps and hardware buttons :| off
Tab notifications, Event: reminders: Plays sound : on Alarm1
Dislplay message on screen and flashlight both are on
I did a soft reset, and I played a little bit with different sounds when the problem seemed to have begun.
When the PC however does the alarm it nicely switches the alarm off in the Jasjar.
My phone is quite useless without a calendar warning.

My Jasjar becomes quite useless without an agenda that warns
Nobody has a clue?
I can set the agenda but nothing happens. The time just passes but no warnings whatsoever.

Oh hell, sounds like the alarm bug may be making an appearance on WM5...that would be DISASTEROUS.
Do this for us; download trial version of Pocket Mechanic (www.antontomov.com) and go to the notifications queue module. Click the button marked "Dup" or "duplicates" and tell us if it found any dups, and if so what they are (they will be tagged and yellow).
Just in case it's a stupidly simple thing, check the following;
- Can u play the alarm1.wav file from file explorer?
- Are you DEFINITELY setting a reminder for each agenda entry
- Is this reminder set to go 0 minutes before (ie don;t set a reminder for 5 mins time with an alarm for 30 mins before)
- settings>sounds¬ifications>alarms>ticked
- Volume not 0: turn volume to 0 then back up again

I may do the antontomov later.
yes I can play alarm1.wav from file explorer.
OK: appointment duration from 16:00 till 16:05
alarm ( " reminder" it is called) 5 minutes before..
at the settings I ticked the Reminder event on play sound and repeat.
I do not see a volume option however.
I see options for flash light ( did never work) and vibration ( the same) I have the feeling it is not so much a sound problem as a problem that nothing is triggered when the moment is there.

Calendar Reminders confusing!!
I find this calendar thing pretty confusing too. I came to the conclusion that the reminder comes in the form of an on-screen notification and not an alarm, which seems pretty stupid, as you don't want to keep pulling your phone out to see if you have any appointments! :?
I hope I'm wrong, but could someone more knowledgeable in this area please clarify how to get an audible reminder in conjunction with an on-screen one please. And for the record, I know how to set a basic alarm, I just need to be reminded by sound or vibration of my appointments, else I can't get the true benefits of a personal digital assistant!
Wont modifying the "Reminders" settings in the notification tab of "Sounds and Notifications" do it for you???

I am sure it gave me an audible alarm before I ran into problems. Of course the agenda can warn you if working properly; also with a flash light even(!) or vibrato.

Well to be honest.... I have managed to get sound working on it before...I just can't remember what I did! :lol:
Please, if anyone has the time please explain how I get an alarm to ring in conjunction with the on-screen reminder. For example, when I go go into the calendar app and see the time slots for any given date, I assumed you could simply enter what you wanted reminding of, in that particular timeslot, and then choose to be reminded every 2 hours or something!!??!! I'm a bit perplexed by this. My SE700i worked in this fashion and I never got to grips with the PPC way of doing this. The bloody manual doesn't explain this either!

You're absolutely right about how to set the reminder, but the type of reminder (sound, message, vibrate) is set in Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Change Event to "Reminders" and see what the settings are? Give it a go, I'm sure you must have "Display message on screen" ticked and "Play sound" unticked?

Thanks for thinking about my problem but I checked those settings out very prcisely.
I have ticked: play sound and repeat. I also have the display message ticked. I Use Alarm1 to keep it simple.
It is however possible that here is where the problem started.
Other problem, maybe related, is, that the phone ringtone sound can sometimes change in the last installed personal ringtone.
I changed it back of course.
I have a lot of people given a ringtone with their name in it, to take away the need of opening to see who is calling.
instead of a sound I record : this is John etc etc. But of course not new to your guys.
Works great, but sometimes my phone ring changes in e.g. " peter calling" as main ring tone.
But in the calendar case there is not even a reminder on the screen. The phone is just no triggering at all.

Nope all are checked! I'll look into it more seriously later today and post my findings back here. Thanks for your help. :lol: :x :? 8)
SOunds like hard-reset time dudes!
Just in case you think it's a missing feature that you have to live with, it's not: the calendar DOES alarm for every reminder, provided you set that. You get an on-screen notification and sound - depending on your settings. Further, this can be defaulted so that every new appointment does this without you having to think about it. Exactly the same as all previous PPC devices.
I had the same problem.
Hard reset is the only solution...
Be carefull what s/w you install on Jasjar!

This will be my first reset in Windows world ever.
Any tips and hints what to take care of before pushing the button?
I come from Nokia 9200 and up and there was a great backup facility before you hard reset.
As backup software is not available: Any tips and hints on what to write down before I do it?
I also saw that Windows may come with separate upgrade software.

The only s/w i had was the ewallet.
Get rid of it and reset. Now try if it works.

You meant soft reset or hard reset?
I presume hard reset, because after several soft resets without ewallet I still have the problem.

See 'Help' application for Reminders in Calendar!!
Stupid me! There's an in depth guide on hoe to use the calendar with Reminders in the 'Help' application on the Jasjar. Too many options for my liking, just confusing matters. basically, alot of the options are for syncing purposes and if no else has access to your PC, it really won't matter wether you set-up categories or not, unless you need your contacts etc grouped.
Bottom line, buy an easier to use application.
Alarm bug? What's that?
Some time ago I installed and played a NES emulator on my xda for a few hours wearing the headset, and after that two things happened; Sound didn't work, it got permanently stuck on headset mode (I fixed that) and 2), the clock disappeared from the upper menu bar, never to return. Alarms didn't work (at all) from that point either. Prior to this it had worked 90% of the time, with some mysterious exceptions that I think maybe your "alarm bug" could explain.
for some reason my end call key on my Wing makes this annoying beep after i press it. I have also noticed that the Call History and delete buttons also make this odd sound. Any ideas as to why? I have tried to listen to all of the sounds that i could find on my Wing, but no luck finding the source of this annoying beep
Is it really that annoying? It just sounds like a beep...
yes it is annoying because it's not supposed to beep at all.
After some searching on my Wing, I have discovered that it's the dpadctl.mid sound that has somehow been mapped to the buttons mentioned in my first post about this issue. How can I unmap this sound from these buttons?
EDIT: I have found the solution for this problem if anyone else is having it.
Disable the "ding" sound when initiating a call and ending a call.
hkey_current_user\controlpanel\soundcategories\incall
change the initvol to 0. do the same for hkey_current_user\controlpanel\soundcategories\incallfeedback
The sound is dpadctl.mid
Disable SMS message sent notification:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
3. Next, click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
4. Name the New Key as "Settings"
5. Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
6. On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1

i had the same problem. that beeb wasnt just another beeb, i agree it was an anoying beeb. your fix worked. thanks again.
That beep WAS really annoyoying hehe...thanks sonik
thanks the no msg notification work also!!!
WOW!! I had to do HR my new P526 for many times because that "Ding"
Thx for your solution.
omg thanks so much..ive been having this problem for a few months and i finally found a fix to that stupid beep on the call history
thanks alot
That beep has been driving me crazy like you wouldn't understand. Thank you so much!
For those of you that are too lazy to edit the registry or don't feel comfortable doing it. Here is the fix in .cab and .reg format to disable the beep.
Yes, that's right, I don't even get a notification or a sound from my calendar when an appointment is due...
I don't know why this has happened, but I suspect I've done something in the registry...
I do get notifications and sounds when I for example receive a SMS, It's just the calendar that won't work...
Please help me asap
And I have also already checked the control panel, and there I have enabled sounds for notifications/calendar
Im not an expert but have the sound files corrupted or something along those lines? If you have your SMS sound working, have you tried assigning that sound to the one that doesn't work and seeing if it works?
Can't be much more help other than doing a hard reset if the above isn't any help.

Yes, I've tried that, but it's not working anyway... I now have it set to my SMS-sound, but no 'pling' on my appointments from my calendar...
and no notification either...
Same for me.
Notifications' sound has disappeared some weeks ago. Probably something I've installed.
At the moment on my phone I have very few applications, here they are:
- Advanced Config
- Beyond pod
- Facebook panel
- Mort player
- pocket player
- S2U2
- SmartPhone Tracker
- YouTube panel
Could you please check if we have some apps in common? Probably the problem is due to one of these.

Of these I only use YouTube panel and Facebook panel (don't use that one).
Did you check under sounds and notifications if you're sounds are still selected there? Did you change their location?
Hope your phone is not mute in any way...
Sorry, I have no other idea...
look at the options of the calender... (extras->options...)
I have the same problem. I do have an sms sound, but no incoming call sound or a notification from the outlook calendar. When i try and select any sound for incoming calls in the sound and notifications menu it plays perfectly. When I get an incoming call there is no sound at all. I also tried to change the settings to ring only, but nothing...
Programs I have installed:
Xperia tweak
TomTom 7
SecureW2
G-Alarm (but it was before I installed this)
Sony Pictures player (hmmm, this might be the one)
Modaco NoData
Total Commander
Hi all,
Wondered if anybody knows the location of a sound file I'm looking for and haven't been able to find ?
I have Best Reminder installed and have set Alert-Soft as it's reminder tone, and have also set this sound in Settings-Sounds & Notifications-Notifications, as my alert tone for missed calls, new sms,mms,email etc.
So when a new sms arrives for example, windows should make the Alert-Soft sound once, which it does, then Best Reminder should make the sound every X seconds as specified, but everytime the reminder sounds, windows is playing an extra sound as well, I have attached rough recordings of the two so you can hear the difference.
I think windows is playing this because of the missed calls popup it's displaying everytime the sound is played, so I either want to turn off the popup, which would be preferable but I think impossible, or extract the sound file and replace it with a silent version.
The only way I can find to stop it is by unchecking Notifications (alarms, reminders), but this also turns off all other notification sounds, so there is no initial sound when a sms,mms,email arrives, which is obviously no good.
Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.
Thanks Dave.
Found a solution to this in case anyone else is interested :
The file making the sound is \Windows\Alarm2.wav and is also used by some of my other apps, so I didn't want to make it silent.
So I made a silent wave file e.g. I called mine Silent.wav, and place it in \Windows.
Then edit the following registry key HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
By default it's set to \Windows\Alarm2.wav so you just need to change the string value to point to the empty sound file \Windows\Silent.wav, and job done.
As far as I can tell this only changes the sound used for notification popups, I've tried all the other apps I use that use Alarm2.wav and they still use it ok.
Hello,
This is the closest thing I could find to an answer to my issue:
I want never to hear the sound "alarm2.wav" again. I hate it. Every time I want to soft reset, every time i want to add a calendar event from email to my calendar (sometimes i have to do like 20 in a row, and i hear that god-awful sound every time) every time any pop-up notifier message appears.
I changed the value for HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
to \windows\quietest.wav
In fact I went to all the settings and changed anything that was alarm2.wav to something else...
But to no avail. I cannot replace the file with another "alarm2.wav" as this is a ROM file and cannot be edited. I am so surprised that this has proved to be such a challenge! I have been able to customize so many things, I never would have anticipated so much difficulty in changing a simple sound
having a problem my alarm is only sounding once and thats it,ive been late for work twice this week already,anyone help please.
cheers
Please dont start a new thread for a question that has already been asked.
Thank you
hi could you show me thread link please
Get a .wav soundfile and place it in /windows folder.
Then that ringtone will appear in the alarm's tones section, choose it, and there you go

This makes the alarm sound longer, but it still only sounds once. There is no option for "make the sound repeat forever" or "repeat the sound for 2 minutes".

what about then the calendar alarms? will they go off if you disable notification sounds?
have you checked the following:
go to:
settings > menu > all settings > clock & alarms > alarms tab
click on the little bell above the time..
see if "repeat sound" is checked

it is but...
... this allows the alarm to be played only twice insteda of once
... my question was different: if i set notifications to off, will the calndar reminders play?
Download an audio editing program like Audacity and loop the file 20 times. This should do the trick.
Is it just me or is the windows mobile alarm really incompetent waking people up??
It would be nice if it could read MP3 files and play infinte times...
Looks like a bug,,,
Set an alarm by using the link on the manila home screen. Choose a sound for that alarm.
Now go settings - menu - all settings - clocks and alarms - alarms - tab and edit the alarm you have just set, , no sound selected, which means that the 'repeat and vibrate ' option below it isn't repeating the sound we set in the manila alarms screen. Choose a sound here and it works.
EDIT - OK, ignore the above, no it doesnt, it just plays both sounds, twice, then waits a minute then plays them again, then nothing.
