Hi everyone!
When I turn on my PocketPC in the morning I get a collection of all "cached" alarms.
For example: I have appointments with alarms at 8.00AM and 8.30AM. When I turn on my device at 9.00AM then the alarms are triggered with the alarm-sound. Nothing happens at 8.00AM and 8.30AM when the alarms should go off.
Any tips to fix this?

I had this problem with 1.66 and it's solved when I flashed the 1.72 ... I 'm not sure what was the exact reason.
Thanks... I will wait for Qtek to release the official 1.72.00.
I just found a fix that I shall try:

Hi Guys,
was wondering if any of you had seen this happening, or knew how to fix it..
occasionally, like once every two days or so, my pda2 will just not turn on again after it's turned off (put in standby). the only way to turn it back on is to press the reset button. it still seems that the radio is working when its in this state, as if i make a call to the pda, the phone im ringing from rings and rings, but the pda just stays silent, and if i put the pda up to a speaker i can hear the "da dada da da" noises that mean phone radio activity. also if i put the pda in a cradle when its in this state, the battery indicator light on the pda will turn on as if its charging..
i can almost live with the short battery life, but the phone freezing when its turned off i can't. i've tried a hard reset.. to no avail.
any ideas?
Hey ow, what have you got running that could cause it? Any 3rd party bits and pieces?

hi kevin.
thats exactly the path im taking now. i have hard reset my device again, and have loaded NOTHING on to it, i reset it before it could install the extRom stuff, and i've only changed settings like vibrate on ring, and regional settings, etc. i haven't even active sync'd it. so far so good (touch wood)
programs i had loaded before:
intellisync (automatically connected to grps if not cradled)
small menu
kbattery
tAgenda (not fully compatible with 2003 SE, but seemed to generally work ok)
worldmate 2004 pro v1.0 (not fully compatible with 2003 SE, but seemed to generally work ok
and thats all i think. i have my suspicions with intellisync..
Hi there
Mine did the very same thing a few times but i just reset it and carried on ...
id recommend upgrading to the newer I-Mate ROM as its more stable, just be prepared to fart about a bit to sort the country code errors and such.
In fact ... i camt remember the last time mine crashed after ive installed the new ROM.
my device came with the rom dated 1/27/05, which is the latest i believe... ?
well, i think i've figured out what causes the problem, thought i might as well give an answer incase anyone else has this prob.
for me appears to happen when GPRS is enabled and i turn the phone off. gprs is turned on in the first place by intellisync, which sync's my email, calander, todo's and contacts with lotus notes. however i tried enabling gprs manually, waited until intellisync sync'd itself, then turned the pda off and went to lunch. after lunch it was frozen again.. i did turn it on at the start of lunch to check the time, and i assume at that point it hadn't tried to do an update, but probably sometime after that and before it froze i would assume it had tried to sync itself.. i guess the next thing to test is if i can just leave gprs on (making sure it doesn't try to do anything) and see how things go.
Dear All,
I wanna have some quick facts: Who have WM5 alarm not wake up issue?
The issue is- when you have scheduled an alarm (e.g. a morning wakeup call) and then suspend your unit, it fails to launch the alarm. When you turn on the unit, usually the unit realize the missing alarm and then re-sound the alarm for you. (Which is too late :evil: )
For people who encountered such issue, please enclose the following details:
1. Hardware (e.g. Qtek 9100, Dopod 838, i-Mate K-Jam, O2 XDA Mini S, etc.)
2. Firmware distribution and version:
a. IPL
b. SPL
c. GSM (hehe not quite related I think though)
d. OS
For me:
Hardware: Dopod 838
IPL: Qtek 1.01
SPL: Qtek 1.01
GSM: MDA 1.12.10
OS: O2 Mini 1.5.4.2
i have this issue only using spb time.
The internal alarm works without problems.
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
CPU OMAP850
WIZA200
OK, not all fact, but what i thought (until today) from reading many many posts.
1) Bad app design, no fix, wait for new ROM (possible, probable infact but maybe not)
2) When you change the alarm and standby the device before the alarm settings were saved properly (thus, when the device wakes it finishes the save and realises its past the alarm time) this is my fav answer!
I've had the problem in the past using my O2 mini-s UK with ROM 1.5.4.2 WWE. I started leaving the device for 2 min from setting an alarm to entering standby - no more problems.
Til today..
Yesterday i set the alarms like normal, used the phone for over 2 mins then entered standby with the mains charger plugged in.
At 4 am my 5 am alarm woke me, i turned it off, realised the time, almost threw my wizard out the window & went back to sleep for an hour. For info - the alarm WAS set for 5 am, the clock WAS right. Even when the alarm was going off it told me it was a 5am alarm & the clock was saying 4. The alarm then worked properly at 5.
Until there is a real fix for this i cant trust my phone to wake me, my old nokia's could manage the time & alarm, but the Wizard seems to find it too challanging
my 9100 does this all the time now. bugs the hell out of me.
i haven't heard of any other wm5 devices having this problem which might mean it's a wizard issue rather than a wm5 issue ?
:-(
It is a very common problem:

Please read through that thread first - and if at all possible, reply there.. unless your reply would be specific to the information requested by the poster here.
For what it's worth, I stand by my recommendation in that thread: just don't let your PPC go to standby, and use any of the freeware apps out there to turn the display (not just the backlight) entirely off. Your battery will drain only a *slight* bit more, but you will not run into the issue discussed here.
not sure where to reply. Probably here, it is less crowded and it is more of a WM5 topic here than a hardware topic there.
Anyway, just to let you know I have a MDA Compact 2 (aka HTC Charmer) which runs WM5. The alarm seems to worked fine so far. I have it set to 7am all day, using a the standard WAV sound. Works well.
I'm not sure if this matters, but the alarm works when it is in standby mode (aka one button will switch it on instantly) BUT it doesn't work if I had the device switched off (aka needs to bootup upon switch on).
And, the only problems that I had with the alarm is when I have a VERY big WAV file in it. The last time I had a 3.0MB WAV file as my alarm sound, the 'Reminder' failed to pop up and the alarm keep sounding. And if you had another alarm on it will still sound it together. Bit like a mixed up WAV in the system. Other than this, the alarm works well in Charmer.
I recently have a Dopod838 (I think) ROM (WM5) flashed into it and the alarm still works alright. Hopes this info helps.
Heya,
Yeah, if the device is entirely off (i.e. needs boot-up), then no alarm/etc. will run at all. In that mode, there is only enough power for the device to react to the button press to turn it on. This is similar to switching a regular mobile phone completely off. You'll miss any calls as well
I get the same problem, I just leave my phone on all the time.

If this helps, I use Pocket Candy as a screen saver and change the default s/saver to 'blank screen'. (Unsure if this completly turns the display off) but my phone fully charged with regular use (camera & vids as well) will last around 36 hours...
Pocket Candy can be found HERE:
I don't know how much people have been thru the same problem in wm2003;the reason why I have started this thread is to find out if there is an OEM secretly fixed the bug already. The time when I am using wm2003, OEM never really admitted the bug is fixed, but in fact the bug is gone after certain version of rom.
so hope everyone could post if you have the problem or not, as well as the detail rom version, so we could know if we could avoid this problem.
after I tried Menmaid and most all the solution on the internet out there, my alarm still not wake up from standby mode...
But yesterday, I found if i enable "voice commend" (which I disabled previously), the alarm will wake up from standby mode.
Hope that helps, my is MW 6.1
Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster
I have now got a T-Mobile UK MDA II and have had this problem occur twice.. the only resolution I found was to hard reset.
For no reason yesterday (no software installs, registry hacks etc..) my Reminders from the diary stopped working.
The phone switches on but fails to make any noise or pop up anything on the screen.
Then this morning when the Alarm should have gone off.. it did.. but gave me no option on the screen to turn it off! (which made me a very unhappy panda without the Snooze! this morning).
Any ideas why the alarms and reminders have gone wrong and how to fix them?
Edit: I have googled to exhaustion and still no better off :|

Just wondering if anyone can shed any light on an issue that has just recently hit my HD2.
For no reason what-so-ever, ActiveSync suddenly appears in my Task manager. I end all tasks, and at some random time in the future, its suddenly there again. whether the phone has been used or not.
Every now and then, i get the same problems as some others on here, with a sudden drainage of the battery overnight, and i wondered if there could be some connection. I do have G Alarm, which seems to get mentioned when discussing battery drainage, but i have no alarms running.
The only other thing added recently was the windows live update.
I don't know if the activesync issue is having an effect on the phone or not, but it is annoying that it keeps appearing in the Task manager !!
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have activesync appearing, when not even using it for anything.
I assume windows live uses it for email and contacts, despite everything being set to manual; it actives itself.
