Hello,
I have just bought a Tytn and about the only function I miss from my old mobile is the stopwatch/countdown function. Does anyone know of any decent freeware that can provide this?
Cheers.
Very simple...but effective:

I've tried a few countdown program (for my cookings and laundry), but they seems to have the same problem (including the one stated above), all of them are running on a background task basis. Once you have the program switch off (some doesn't even survive a phone off) and the timer stops. Non of the software I've tested actually runs on notification queue (like the way WM5's reminders are based). Hence, I actually use my alarm program as count down timer.
Thanks for the replies.
This program do not wake up my device when it should ring.
Spb Clock is great timer application, but it has the same issue.

If I schedule a task to remind me on a specific date it will ring at 8am on that day. Why is there no ability to specify a time on that date too? Can i do this by setting some option somewhere? I have looked in all the settings I can find! :shock:
Nope you need a third party program like:
alarmToday v1.21

I use Agenda Fusion. I've noticed that even though I've set a task to go off at a time before 8am, the blinking reminder still goes off again at 8am aswell. This is a real nusance. :x
Can anyone advise please? :wink:
Hello
I have the same need. Where 'registry' change time remind for task when i use default task manager ?
I use also AlarmToday, but only possibilty is to change time where task is view, for example at 11h AM, but alarm will ring at 11h AM and task dissapear after. Also i use AlarmToday function to set Tsak at 11h PM (23h) to see this alarm all the day.
Any idea ?
Hi all,
I have been using PPC Profiles for some time now- I have recently discovered the PhoneAlarm app...
I love all the features of PhoneAlarm- especially the repeating alarm on sms etc.
I don't really need many of the display items of the PhoneAlarm today bar; what I do want is all the Profiles listed side by side (as with PPC Profiles).
As PhoneAlarm is generally better- is it possible to have the above feature in PhoneAlarm?
So, all I really need is an app that has repeating alarms and profiles displayed side by side. Even an individual app that does the repeating alarm thing would be great.
Thanks.
Hi SH500
I currently use PhoneAlarm, but check out SuperAlert for PPCPhone edition. You should be able to find it at www.pocketfillers.com This is just a repeating alarms app that runs in background, accessible from a icon in the system tray. You can use in conjunction with your current profile software, or try the excellent PocketZenPhone for profile functionality. PZP is available in today screen and system tray versions, so you can keep your today screen really clean with this and SuperAlert.
Hope that helps
Regards
Chris
Nice one- i'll have to look into those software titles.
Thanks.
Phonealarm Profile switching
you can use the buttons of the navigation pad (left-right) on your macigcan to switch between the profiles. this is just like having the profiles side by side. first klick down until the phonealarm is marked, then use right or left to switch.
Orlando- a great tip- even for many others I should imagine.
Thanks.
Is there a way to turn it off at def time and turn it on again
Not free, but check out SKSchema:
http://www.s-k-tools.com/skschema/skschema.html
However, you can do it with various other apps if you can edit the notification queue. Eg, memmaid will let you do this.

Editing notification isn't enough
According to dinarsoft (makers of memmaid) there is no facility to create a repeating notification; you have to have a notification that both does something and writes a new notification when it does so. This isn't possible by just editing a notification (they say; I'm no expert and I would really like to set a program to run automatically at, say 1AM).
try PocketZenPhone, search to download in google, hope this info helpful.
PocketZenPhone looks very cool
but I just paid for SKSchema after establishing that it would do what I needed. I'm alsol happy with SPB Diary, which provides similar functionality in putting useful programs on the today screen. If at some point I become dissatisfied with SKSchema, PZP seems like a wonderful program with a lot of good Today screen functionality. Kind of like SKSchema and SPB Diary in one.
Someone cann help me:
1. When I make software reset on my MDAPro (Universal) my Universay all time play alarm - about 20 min and then stoped and
2. After then, when I switch on alarm, then (when alarm played) I canot see message to switch off alarm??? And I canot switch off alarm.
Alarm stoped about last 20 minits.
Alarms
Try memmaid (search forums for memmaid and alarm for precise solution)
You need to run memmaid and look at the notifications, and delete the "alarm" ones as they have got "stuck"
Yes, I had this problem also. You can perform a hard reset, that will solve it but then you loose all your data and it is a pain! So I spent all day trying to find out how to fix it without doing a hard reset, and here are the results:
1. Open the Clock & Alarms app, and click on the Alarms tab. Make sure everything is unticked and unselected.
2. Install and launch MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/ - Note: MemMaid is shareware that expires after something like 30 days, or you might use another app which allows you to edit the notifications queue), and then press the Jump To softkey and click on the the Notification Queue option.
3. Press the Find Duplicate button, and make sure you say yes to deleting all duplicates.
4. Now you have to scroll through the list slowly, you must find all the ones which have this text in them and check the tickbox: \Windows\clock.exe.
5. Now you have located the rogue alarm notifications and ticked them, press the Delete button and confirm in the next step. Make sure you have NOT ticked/selected any other notifications except the clock.exe ones before you do this step, otherwise it can easily make your phone stop working!
6. Soft reset your device. When it has finished booting, you should notice that it doesn't vibrate madly with alarms for 20 minutes like it used to do before, and you should have a flashing green LED on the right instead of orange
7. Stop using the built-in clock & alarms app if you don't want this to happen again - it is too buggy! Find a replacement alarm app, there are loads of free ones out there!
Thanx all! Specialy to sl9
THANK YOU!!! NOW IS ALL GOOD !
What you mean:
"Find a replacement alarm app, there are loads of free ones out there" (I canot see "there" link for free app).
For all:
Which alarm app you use (whithout bugs) ?
1. SPB Clock
2. Chronos for PPC v. 2.95
3. Phonealarm v 1.52
4. Pocket Clock v. 1.15
or some another app ?
I actually haven't got round to finding a replacement yet, but one thing is for sure: do not use the HTC alarm built-in app any more
I am glad this solution worked for you without hard reset, I could not find anywhere else exactly how to solve this problem so it took me literally a whole day of experimenting - but with good results
I have been having trouble with the alarm clock on my D2, and since Uni is about to start and I don't have a standalone alarm clock, it is vital that it functions normally.
Basically, sometimes the alarm just won't go off at all, I had set an alarm clock during my holiday to wake me up so I don't spend the (whole) day sleeping, but at times it failed to ring.
Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me?
if you use igo8 you could have this problem..
Timezone Bug Warning
A major problem with iGO 8 out of the box is the automatic time-zone option. I found that after running iGO 8 my time would change by an hour as well as my timezone being changed. Initially I just corrected these and carried on as normal – but this is where the problems began. You see, Windows Mobile has this 'thing' where if an alarm is turned off after the timezone is changed it still remembers it. You end up with phantom alarms going off even when they are turned off in the alarms setting – and because of the change of timezone they are an hour earlier… I had 12 alarms going off at 5.30am at one point! Calendar alarms are also messed up in this process – I had reminders for appointments an hour after they should have been. The alarm problem was such an issue that I actually did 2 hard resets within a week just to stop them, but as soon as iGO 8 ran again the problem returned. After a considerable number of missed appointments and early mornings I found a way to fix the alarms issue, around the time that Nav N Go announced a 'fix' for the problem.
The problem is caused by entries in the Notification Queue in Windows Mobile not being deleted after they have run. There were two free tools that I used to clear all these old and duplicate entries: pmClean and SKTools Lite. pmClean is a basic tool for clearing out temporary files etc whereas SKTools Lite is more advanced and does a lot more – to view the entries in the notification queue (and subsequently delete the offending ones) go to View / Maintenance / Notifications Queue and remove offending entries under CALENDAR.EXE (for appointments) and Windows\clock.exe (for alarms).
To stop iGO 8 from changing the timezone like it does then you need to follow the instructions here. [make sure you edit the sys.txt in Program Files because if you edit the one on the memory card (like I did initially) then it will not work without a reinstall!]

useless alarm
i had the same issue, however since i upgraded the software to the official latest version off htc website, it sorted it out, so i think it maybe a glitch in the software
I don't think the problem is with the changing timezone, it's just that my alarm won't go off at all...
I am not aware that there are newer updates for the TD2 on the HTC website, I though they were just changes for the ROM, is it on the normal HTC update site?
This is definitely related to the notifications queue, I had this issue (basically my alarm would pretty much never go off in the morning) I installed SK tools and set it to clean up the notifications queue in the night
see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4391994
so that was a month ago, not one alarm failure since
Oh and I use G-Alarm as my alarm clock, check it out, gives many more features than the stock windows alarm
P.
But did you still have problems using G-Alarm not going off?
I believe G-Alarm itself has a workaround built in for the notifications queue bug.
G-Alarm does in theory have a workaround built in for the notifications queue bug (it turns on at midnight to run a clean) but it wasn't working for me, it was no better than the standard alarm for reliability until SK tools was set up to do its thing. I have now actually turned off the G-Alarm notifications queue fix in the registry as I found the turning on at midnight annoying! And haven't had one alarm failure since so figure it wasn't doing anything extra...
P.
Still having trouble?
or have you solved it? if so what was the cause..
