Phonealarm 1.54 is superb, but it's casuing me a very annoying problem, and I don't know why:
I like to have my phone set to "Vibrate" at all time. By that, I mean clicking the little speaker at the top of all WM5 devices and where you get the 2 sliders for volume of device and phone, at the bottom it has "On", "Vibrate" and "Off".
However since I installed Phonealarm my phone always reverts back to "On" - but I can't seem to work out why, there's no pattern to it - sometimes it just sits there on Vibrate, then next time I use the phone it's back to On. I can't seem to work out if things like going into the Phonealarm setup menu causes it, or clicking an alert in Phonealarm, or whatever - it just seems that after a while it'll revert to "On" without me asking it to, and it's only been happening since I installed Phonealarm.
Any ideas?
phoneAlarm 1.54
Its hard to say with this programme. The developer has built so much into this excellent app for so may devices, there always seems to be one problem or another. I would post a question in the support forum (www.pocketmax.net). Bruce (the developer) is pretty responsive. He may ask you to send a log ad he will try and fix in next version. I am waiting for 1.55, due out on the next few days

I believe you need to put the option to vibrate in all profiles. For exampe in the settings screen, if you go to a particular profile then click on sms notification you need to tick the vibrate option. To get it working on the ring tone as well set the ring option in profiles to "Vibrate and Ring". Remember to do this for all alerts for all profiles!

All of a sudden, my XDA no longer saves settings for my phone or for reminders. For example, I have to constantly change my ringer to Vibrate and Ring, then (after a reboot I'm assuming) it changes back to just Ring.
For reminders, Flash Light and Play Sound (one of the most important things!) have to keep getting rechecked after a reboot. I'd rather not rebuild as I have a LOT of apps on this device.
Does anyone know of reg settings or any other way to get this to stop resetting?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Im having the same problem i think!
My phone keeps vibrating without playing a ringtone, even though its set to "Vibrate and ring".
it's like its always on "vibrate mode", no matter what i try to do.
what rom are you using??
I am using the O2 ROM upgrade straight from their site. It was fine for the longest time; just noticed it about a week ago.
It could be something in your notification queue, this is the cause of most alarm/reminder/profile problems. I recently posted a long and detailed HOWTO for anyone that needs to fix or just spring clean their notification queue, check it out:

Hi,
Could anybody recommend any apps to do the following:
1) Turn off mobile services (Eg, disconnect from the network) between certain hours? I would effectively like the phone in airplane mode during night time.
2) Vibrate every XX minutes when I notification arrives - Eg, if I miss the (faint) vibrate I'd like it to do as my previous phone did; Vibrate, for example, every 5 minutes stopping only when the notification has been acknowledged.
If any of these are possible please point me in the direction of the relevant apps.
If not and anybody feels a coding change... Feel free
Cheers.
SPD phone suite will do both.
Cannot seem to find that app in the Market. In the UK if that matters.
Any ideas?
Any alternative software?
Cheers.

Isn't that for WM phones?

Don't know of anything to turn airplane mode on. But what I've done is use Locale to make my phone completely silent at night, then turn the sounds back on at a specific time in the morning.
dgAlert will let you customize vibrate and repeating vibrate for text messages.
Oh sorry didnt know the dream was Android !
SPB is here http://beta.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/
Thanks for the replies. Will check out dgAlert - If that can repeated vibrate for calls too that would be immense... Will definitely check it tonight.
About Locale; I tried that however setting it to (For example) make the phone silent between 2300 - 0700. It makes the phone silent at 2300 but does not re-enable the ringer at 0700 (Or at least the "silent" icon still remains - One of the two!). Is this the correct behaviour? Or should it be automatically turning the ringer back at at 0700? I'd imagine I can work around by having "Sleep" at 2300-0700 and "Don't Sleep" at 0700-2300 but I'm curious as to why it doesn't work currently. Should simply "Sleep" between 2300-0700 work?
Cheers.
PS - This is non-rooted if that makes a difference.
With regards to locale, did you make sure you placed a default setting for it to revert back to? I had similar problems before I told local what the default settings outside of the conditions I imposed where.... (wifi would NEVER turn back on... etc)
Meeker

I set up another Locale scenario to re-enable sound 1 minute after the "sleep" one ended. I don't know if there's an easier way (default settings were mentioned, that might work), but it works for now.
Thanks for the replies guys - You got it spot on; It hadn't any defaults! Set the defaults and now Locale works like a charm
Now I have locale turn off wifi bluetooth etc at "Sleep" and turn them back on afterwards... Sorted!
My only outstanding request now is the repeated vibrate - To clarify this further I would actually like an app that will send a repeated vibrate every XX mins for any notification in the notification bar (Eg, SMS, email, missed call). dgAlert may be able to manage it for SMS but I'm not sure about for other things. It also appears to have problems with other apps from a quick google.
Any software that will allow repeated vibration alerts (Until acknowledged - Eg, removed from notifications) for all notifications? That would be simply brilliant!
Cheers.
Just wanted to tip you off about Bedtime.
When you run this program, it only lets phonecalls through. Everything else is kept silent. You will also get a nice full screen watch
Thats great - Thanks; I'll be sure to check it out!
Now have many solutions for the night time problem... Only now to find a real good solution for repeated notifications - Any ideas welcome! Thanks...

Can someone post the APK for Locale? I don't have access to the market.
Cheers!
Really after something to do repeated vibrate on notifications... Anything available? I've checked the market but I'm not sure if something exists which does it but not exlusively (Hence hard to tell from program name).
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
there is DgAlert, SMS POPUP (the new version has repeat notification) a few others i can not think of right now.
As far as I can tell, though, they only repeat notifications for SMS?
Any chance they now repeat for all notifications? If not, any others?
Cheers.
Anyone know how to get the fadded call notification to go away after you select it and select dismiss in the notification menu? It's rather annoying that I have to do a soft reset/power off to get it to go away. Then if I decide not to mess with it, I have a an ! on the noticiation/tast bar that will not go away.
Also, anyone know how to disable the notification menu during a phone call? I swear about 9 our of 10 calls result in me opening the notification menu. I guess the proximity sensor doesn't work as quickly as it probably should.
Anyone?
