Is anyone having success with apReminder+ on their Wizard?
I cannot seem to get it to react to notifications, etc. It "runs" and appears to be operating and a .lnk is in the \windows\startup but thats all I get.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
I have tried the pocketmax pa alarm but it is to much for me and seems to slow my dev.

ps. I think i've arrived at the promised-land when on this site!
Well, I happened to be the author of this utility.
apReminder+ kind of works on WM5, except one feature - Auto Snooze. That's because the Reminder pop-up in WM5 is implemented completely different way compared to previous versions.
But the repeat functionality should work fine - I'm using it on my JAMin.
Hi Alpax,
apReminder+ is exactly what I have been looking for, but alas I can't get it to work on my WM5 Hermes
Followed your instruction exactly but don't get any reminders.
Any ideas or suggestions... or if you know of an app like yours (simple and small) that will work, would love to hear.
Seems like an indispensable utility to me and I'm surprised there aren't lots avaliable.

The utility does not implement the reminders themselves - it just repeats alarm sounds when finds the system reminder pop-up on the screen. Do you see the pop-up with "Reminder" text in its caption, when the alarm goes off?
If it doesn't work, it's difficult to track down the cause as there is no visual indication if apReminder+ is running and handling reminders.
First of all you have to make sure your system reminder dialog is enabled, then set system sound volume to maximum (just to be sure it's not muted and loud enough), run apReminderPlus.exe, check Play sound option (press [ > ] to test it), set number of repeats to 5, for example, and repeat interval - every 30 seconds. Tap Run, create a reminder in Calendar or an alarm in Clock&Alarms, wait for the Reminder dialog to come up and do not dismiss it for some time - hear for reminder sounds.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work - it worked every time I tried on any PocketPC including WM5 devices.
Thanks for the quick response.
I think I see my problem... I thought it would work for Notifications also. I first saw apReminder mentioned in a thread for reminders when calls or messages were missed, which is what I need most - not so much for appointment reminders.
Sorry.
Great little app but if it could do the above it would be awesome!

No, it works for regular PIM reminders and alarms, doesn't handle phone notifications, sorry. Those are completely different things, which have to be handled some other way.
Is there an alternate to this program that works on WinMo 6.1 ?

Hello all,
Does anyone know if there is a program that allows you to set various ring profiles like on the nokia phones. This is a very useful and quick way of changing ring settings. :roll:
Hi,
I use phone alarm from pocketmax and have done for about 6 months. I think it works perfectly especially when getting on a flight.

Hope that helps,

Or try PocketZenPhone, it's much easier that PocketAlarm.
Try PocketZenPhone, is the better!!
Have to say originally I tried - ok 6 months ago - PocketZenPhone and didn't like it. It hung alot and just didn't integrate well. Haven't tried the newer version.
Phone alarm though I like for the following reasons:
1. Allows MP3 SMS tones
2. Repeating alarms (like Motorola) to avoid missing alarms
3. Integration with WebIS mail
4. Integration into Today screen
5. Skins
6. GPRS settings
7. General notification settings
It seems to do what PocketZenPhone does and more. Just my opinion though

Hi mates,
I have spent several days looking for a phone profiler (ala Nokia) as much simple as possible... no whistles and bells, no bloatware... just profiles.
I miserably failed!
So I decided to develop myself a software solution to accomplish this simple task.
I am so happy with it that I have decided to share it with you.
It is completely FREE. Take it as it is, of course!
I've been using it for several weeks now, and could not experience any failures. Nonetheless there could be bugs or malfunctionings I would be glad to fix if you let me know.
My "Phone Profiles" includes a control panel Applet to change your settings and a Today Item plugin to easily select or change the current profile.
Just select the today item, tap-n-hold (or hold the action button down) to display a popup menu with your profiles.
For all the CLaunch lovers, it also possible to activate a given profile from a command line using the following sintax:
ctlpnl.exe profiler.cpl, n, 1
where n is the profile number. Change 1 to 0 if you want just to edit the profile's settings.
This software has been tested on WM2003SE Phone Edition only.
That's all, I guess.
Enjoy.
M. Panzica (aka Silver Bullet)
UPDATED: Looks like it does not work properly if compiled with VS2005. Recompiled with eVC4. Please re-download. Sorry.
Pocket Zen Phone can be found at http://zendrui.free.fr/ :wink:
@TheBrit
Do you mean you didn't like mine ?
@slvrbllt - does your profiler work on WM5 - I have a universal and am interested to know if it works on that. I can't test it on it tho just now cuz it's away for repair
@NinjaDonkey:
Nope, buddy.
As far as I know it doesn't work (yet) on WM5, since I use API calls that require the code to be signed. I am currently working on a new version that is supposed to be running on WM5 as well... stay tuned.

I've been using PZP for a while now and it really does the trick. It not only profiles ring tones but lots of other settings too. 8)

hi! i'm a new magician user. may i ask how will I install your Profiler to my phone?
Try PocketZenPhone or PhoneAlarm
Those 2 should be the best in the market now
I just try both of them as of late
And I must say I choose PhoneAlarm better than PZP, PZP is a little slow and would hang once in a while
Plus PhoneAlarm got more feature like billing info, better skining...ext
@Silver Bullet: Could you post some screenshots please?

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed your little program on my Magician, and I am seriously impressed! The Today DLL is a mere 12k, and everything works flawlessly so far!
Great job - thanks a lot!
Would you allow me a few comments, in no particular order?
- your program needs a name.
- the GPRS problem that PZP has seems to not exist in your program - well done! I'm almost convinced to switch...
- this thread here is about the three existing profiles programs. Could we have a separate thread for your program?
- would you care to comment how you manage to switch on/off Bluetooth? I remember that for Zendrui this was not easy to implement. Does your program also handle Widcomm stacks?
- I would be interested in a German version, and if you send me a string table, I'd be more than happy to to provide German translations.
- one wish: I certainly do not want all of the settings PZP offers, but there are a few I do miss:
-- setting the volume for system sounds. There are situations where any sound is unacceptable, even the beeps when tapping.
-- set the backlight time-out. For example, when I navigate, I do not want the backlight to turn off at all.
-- backlight level independently for battery and charging mode.
Yes, I know that this already sounds like beginning featuritis. But afaik all these settings are simple registry entries, so should not bloat the code. Trying to put this into the UI may be a bit tricky. Well, just my personal wishes - feel free to ignore if you disagree.
Overall, I find it a really well-done little program. Thanks a lot again!
Cheers
Daniel
In my opinion the best is Profiler :lol: Very simple and friendly program.

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

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

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

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

Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.
Hello,
I used to have an alarm clock set for 9.25am. I don't anymore. 9.25am appears NOWHERE in WM5 alarm settings. However every day at 9.25am my alarm goes off.
Is there a way to fix this without doing a hard reset? I tried searching the forum but wasn't able to find an answer.
I have an MDA with latest ROM from T-mobile's website.
Thanks!
You need to get the check notifications program.
Theres probably a stray entry in the notifications dB that makes your alarm go off.
Its not available on the developers website anymore, but am sure some kind sole will post it on here for you.

Memmaid is another program - u can download it as a trial version to start
with.

You have my sincerest sympathies. My Alpine model has the fun habit of doing the same thing... at 5:30 in the morning. I have absolutely no idea why it does this at seemingly random intervals (but always at the same time). If it carries on for much longer I'l have to hard-reset. But I've spent so much time and energy customising my Alpine and I will lose everything.

Thank matt1971!
I have used the checknotifications program and was able to remove the 9.25am alarm issue.
Even though this program clearly states that it works only on 2003 OS, I ran it on WM5 and it worked fine.

so after I removed all 9.25am references with CheckNotifications, the alarm still went off today.
Any further suggestions how to rid of this annoying issue?
Same issue
I am having the same issue as well at 6 am, which I set a few weeks ago to pick someone up at the airport. I then changed the clock for that particular alarm setting back to my normal time, 10 am. Now it goes off at 6 and 10.
One other irritating thing I noticed... my "5"minute snooze is only 1 minute.
So I am hoping that the alarm creates little registry values that I can find and destroy! lol
I'll get back if I find anything

Can this problem be fixed with total commander?
Hi,
Im just looking for a simple app to create/switch profiles on my 8525, to just set different preset values for notification sounds and volumes. PhoneAlarm is good, but i dont need all the stuff it offers as a today plugin, i just need profile switching.
Are there any freeware apps for this?
Thanks!
Modaco PPCProfiles-Pro
Yes, I would love a repeating notification reminder like PhneAlarm has but just refuse to have all the other rubbish it comes with - don't need Today plugin or skins, or profiles or even multiple sounds (just a beep once a minute will do me fine).
Alas, I have been looking for weeks and can find nothing.
Some that look promising, trun out not to work in sleep mode which I believe is the big problem. If you have to wake the OS constantly to create the sound it uses lots of battery power.
But maybe someone will come up with something eventually... even if it is MS and the OEMs.
An alternative i previously used before PA was PocketZenPhone you can use a today plugin or a simple tray app, which is what sounds like you need.
Works really well, im not sure if its free or not but it does the business. The only reason i switched to PA was because i wanted profile switching based on GSM CellID (which i had on my old Sony Ericsson P900 with "Magic Profiles Pro").
But it is good, and a tidy app rather thana brightly skinned today plugin.
PocketZENphone not free anymore
...sorry, you got to pay for Version 6 now...
I use PocketZenPhone, yes you do have to pay for it, but there is a 15 day trial use.
I did use Phone Alarm but changed for the same reason, it did too much for what I wanted.
All I can say about PocketZenPhone is that it does a vary good job of being able to set up different profiles.
I have it set up as Silent, Quiet, Normal, Loud and Car.
Makes changing volume level, ring tones, message tones a doddle.
I recommend it.

PhoneAlarm but guzzles power flashlight ... Do you know someone on the program as good, but so immature like a flashlight?
Hi I just upgrade to wm6 but I found out that my dopod810 under the notification the box to enable repeat sound has been disabled.I was wondering whether I could enable repeat sound for sms and missed call?I hope you guys got the solution.Thanks in advance.
SPB Phone Suite has this option, for messages and missed calls.
There's also a small (It's not free, but at €7.95 is very cheap!) program called "alarmPal" - find it at the PocketMax website.
Cheers,
Mark.
Thanks, man... It only takes 35.9 kB of RAM. No more SPB...
alarmPal rocks!

I second the recommendation for alarmPal. It's a great little utility. A little tip: you will hear the original notification sound set in WM5 and straight after, alarmPal plays its sound. What alarmPal does is set up a silent 'sound' for the normal notification so you don't hear it, only the alarmPal sounds. I found this out when I emailed them asking how to stop hearing both. Seems I went in after installing alarmPal and changed the sound from the silent one to some other one.
MortScript for Notification Repeat WM6
Hi guys,
I just saved a few euros !!
Here is my version of a MortScript to enable notification for devices running WM6.1 Professional.
This script can be modified to work on WM6 Standard devices also. To run on WM Standard script should be modified to read proper registry path for events. Before running this script please install MortScript(Takes ~85kb of memory).
The script checks for any missed calls or new SMSes every 3 minutes and vibrates in case there is such event. This notification(vibration) repeats 5 times and then stops. However vibration will stop immediately in case user reads the SMS or checks the missed call. Also anytime a call is missed or message is received the repeat counter is reset to 0 and notification will repeat again 5 times for the new event.
The script can be modified using any text editor for different vibration patterns, also to play a sound. (Please refer mortscript manual for commands to play a .wav file)
Also the monitoring interval and repeat count can be adjusted. Also other events(voicemail, MMS etc.) can be monitored.
Note: MortScripts can be dangerous, malicious scripts can wipe out data from your device. Always check the script before running on the device.
General Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damages to your device by using this script.
It is my first posting on xda-developer. Please let me know if you find this script useful. please rename the attachment to <name>.mscr.
hi biswaranjan,
your scripts works fine! the time aint three minutes tho but that's adaptable. Maybe i'll make some other changes later if i have the time for it...
great "app"!!!
