Help Please - Tytn stuck in reminder loop - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi everyone,
My Tytn has developed some weirdness in the last three days. I keep gettting a notification alarm but nothing displayed. This first started as my wake up alarm went off on Tue morning after I had set it on Mon night.
I've done a soft reset but to no avail. I have never attempted a hard reset and did not want to as I was away on business. Tonight I synced it with my PC but it still does the same thing.
Other things of note that might give you a clue
I swapped sim cards several times as it was fully unlocked version and I have used the sims before.
Tonight it is now doing two notifiction tone joined together :-(
I have it set to NOTIFY tone for reminders and no vibrate but I get two notifies and vibrate too. It keeps going every few minutes and drives me nuts :-(
I changed time zone to the country I was visiting.
Sbould I attempt the next reset up from soft?
Any ideas how I might solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Clearly errors/duplications in your notifications. You can clear your notifications - duplicates and stray entries using:
Scarybear freeware
or
Sktools
or
Memmaid
Mike

Thanks!
Wow thanks for such a quick reply. I used Memmaid and found and cleared a bunch of stuff, a really useful program.

Alarm not going on

I would like to know if one of you got this problem and if you was able to fix it.
My XDAII is not turning on on any time alarm seting or calendar alarm. The alarm only goes on after I turn on the XDAII myself.
This is not comon since it was working perfectly and started behaving like thi since a few days.
I tryed to do a soft reset but it still behave the same way.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot.
Felipe
I would suggest doing a search on Alarm and reading the posts it returns.
You might want to start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4237 and look at the last post and the scarybear software link.

Universal has a "invisible" appointment...

Hey guys,
I'm new here!
After years of reading this site (ever since my orange SPV-1 days) a have now stumbled across a problem I just can't seem to fix by myself.
My MDA pro (Dutch T-Mobile, original ROM) has an appointment in it that has somehow made itself invisible. I know this probably sounds weird, but it's the only way I can describe it.
On every soft-reset my MDA starts buzzing and plays the appointment notification sound. It's not a big deal, just very annoying when the device has to be reset. I tried removing all my appointments, but unfortunately that didn't help.
I really don't want to hard-reset my device over this.
Anybody here even experienced (and maybe even solved 8)) the same problem?
I had the same issue and though i was the only one.. I actually had it twice on my O2Exec.. Drove me nuts. the annoying sound starts on boot and it takes time till you can stop it.
Install Memaid app or some other application that lets you edit the notification queue. I think I used Memaid, saw the problematic alarms (mine where from the clock alarm) and deleted the entries there.
hope this helps.
Thanx man! Worked like a charm

Help Me, alarms are driving me absolutely nuts!!!!

Hi guys, please help save my sanity, I use my T-Mobile MDA as my alarm clock in the mornings and have done so since I got it on Ebay about 4 months ago.
The problems started this morning though, when the alarm activated it didn't give me the option to cancel with the left soft key or snooze with the right soft key - it just kept going....and going....and going!!!!! Even after a soft reset.....so I turned it off and removed the battery, refitted the battery and turned it on and the alarm started to go again... and again... and again I managed to stop it after a while but I dont know how because I'd restarted it and soft started it and switched off the alarms so many times I lost track of what I did!
Then this afternoon when I disconnected the MDA from my PC at work it locked out (it does this quite frequently - a different problem but still annoying though) I normally fix this by carrying out a soft reset, which I did....then the bloody alarm thing started all over again EVEN THOUGH THE ALARMS WERE ALL DISABLED, 45 minutes of mucking about again and now it has finally stopped again....please please please can anyone suggest how I fix this cos if I can't the phones going in the bin - I mean the unit is a useful little business tool but its got lots of problems that make it a pain in the as* sometimes. I dont know what software its running or anaything like that cos I'm not sure where to get these details - sorry.
Many many many thanks in advance.

use clear_notify.exe and remove duplicates of "clock" events.
or
check_notifications.exe
Try to use SPB Time http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en , they did have few bugs with their alrm system, but in this new version they have rectified all the bugs, and it is really working fine, keep it in mind that once u use any other software for alarm then DO NOT use the basic windows alarm. SPB Time has also got a nice ScreenSaver functionality with your own picture support.
GoodLuck

No problem - i have tried a few alarms and they all use the same notification system for setting up an alarm so i do not think one has any benefit from another in terms of reliability (although you will always have diff people swaring by their paricular alarm) but diff ones have extra features - eg. play mp3, wma's etc...
IMHO you can have a reliable alarm by
1. Keeping the notification queue clean - i feel these errors occur when the NQ becomes large/corrupt
2. If it is for a morning alarm - plug your device into the mains and do not let it go into standby - this will give you a reliable alarm.

Problem with one alarm going off twice.

Hi everybody
I've got a small problem with my HTC TyTN. I've got an alarm set for
07:03am every mon,tue,wed,thur,fri.
Wednesday about 3 weeks ago that alarm went off twice at the same time, the wav sound that is set to the alarm goes off and is heard with a echo.
And i had to close the alarm twice on the screen.
Thinking it was a onetime-thing i didn't care that much.
But on the thursday after the same thing happend again. I then removed the alarm completely and set a new time (07:05) with one of the other alarm check-boxes.
Strange thing, now i get a double-alarm at 07:03 mon-fri, and a single working just fine at 07:05. Even tough there is no alarm set at 07:03 anymore.
I've rebooted the phone, with all alarms off.
Still the double-alarm is there. I've managed to live with it for 3 weeks now, but it's getting a bit too much now
I do not wish to do a factory-reset. Are there any registers that could have been f-ckup?
If so, what can i do and how?
Any points, tips, tricks are welcome.
Thank you.
We need some info dude, what apps have you installed and also what format is the sound file in, also where is it? (SD card or device memory).
Update your signature with the details of your device (rom version, radio version etc... and also update your profile with your provider and country...it helps to have them in your sig so we can diagnose anything a bit quicker )

This problem has been written about many times and from many different angles. They all point to clearing your "notifications" queue that can accumulate all kinds of duplicates and junk causing alarms to go off twice, not stop going off and no notification to pop up etc etc:
To do this use:
Scarybear - Freeware
Or
SKtools - not freeware
Or
Memmaid - not freeware
These links will give you links to the above applications.

mrvanx : Thank you for your input, i'm quite new at this game as you might see by my post-count. I'm working on the signature now. Thank you for your input.
mikechannon : Thank you, i'm going to try Scarybear first to see that it solves the problem, then i'll look into purchasing one of the others.
Thank you all for your help.
be careful, very careful.
scary bear is to good, you can delete or change stuff you shouldnt, and never get it back.
i tried and failed. hard reset to fix.... it starts to happen i find when you soft reset a device when notifications are happening, and thus duplicates the original and a new one.
I tried out a few, and found that TaskMgr2.7 was perfect for me.
Scarybear, well i never even got working
But thank you for the warning.

WP7 doesn't display notifications

Hi guys! I've been using WP7 for some time now and I've noticed that it doesn't display notifications properly on the lock screen. It displays my missed calls always, but it displays my new messages & e-mails after I restart the phone. I've enabled all notifications. Set sounds on everything but still.. the phone doesn't notify me. Today I saw that I had a sms 2 days ago.. Any solution? Thanks in advance!
i had the same error
reset the phone to the factory settings, now it works

I Had the same problem. I just make a factory reset few times, but problem is still here. No one issued the same? no one has a solution? thank u very much! the rest is pretty cool and with no problem.
Will try! Thanks for the responses guys!
same here. sometimes i just dont receive sms. Its not all the time but happens frequently my smasung focus just stops receiving sms for a long time. im guessing for some reason i had no signal the carrier tried to deliver the message and couldnt then for some reason the time between the next try is long hours of waiting.
