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

THANKS
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

AHHHHH
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???????

How did you download this?
Each time I try their download link it takes me to their site map page.

Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.
Well, my Ameo arrived this morning, and I've been busy installing all my usual software. Loving it so far...
I've installed TCPMP 0.72RC1, but i'm getting very jerky playback with avi files which play ok on my Universal. The sound is ok, but i'm getting about 1 frame per second, and going fullscreen makes it give up completely.
Also, with TCPMP running, but no file loaded, I get flickering streaks across the centre of the screen.
Anyone know what's going on here, and how I can solve it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit - problem now solved - see other thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1178850#post1178850

I've attached the cab file which I found in my Activsync folder, but it seems I didn't save the whole installer.
See if it works, but you'll still need to find the plugins for it if you want to use the aac codec.

great find! i was hoping this would show up when i first saw the video. I got it loaded and it's pretty nice to work with. One question so far....where is the comm manager located on the 8525. Im trying to find the path so i can link the settings button to it but i cannot find it. Thanks!
Edit: This is a little bigger issue for me, my clock on the device it self it correct but in the iphone launcher app it is 4 hours ahead. How and hell do i fix this? Any help is appreciated

I have no issue updating. I just don't know what to do.

Connected the phone via activesync and copied the file to my pc. Then I can edit with notepad by right click - open with etc. If that's not working for you drag the file and drop it onto a notepad icon

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!
Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem
Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.
anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue
Is there anyway that the Blackstone can play a sound when there is a missed call or missed SMS and repeat it say for example every 3 mins?
don't think there is a built-in feature for this but get spb phone suite. that has it.
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/download-notification-repeat-enable.html
That link will let you do what you want, and more importantly, its a freeware!!
Enjoy!
Thanks for the link.
Sounds interesting.
Thanks to you both, I find that the spb phone suite gives me a broader control, but it is nice to have the cab file too.
Seems overkill to install SBP phone suite just for the notifications...
Can anyone pls confirm:
1. Is the cab file uninstallable?
2. How often does the notification repeat?
3. Does it actually work? There are comments on the above download page that says it keeps repeating even after the text is read...
The nice cab file posted above did gave me the optie to repeat a signal.
I have not really tested it yet so far
I tried the SPB phone suite and it worked good for me. I had no issues. The intervals were 1min 5 mins .... I forgot the rest.

Has anyone tried it yet? In that link, several people posted that it keeps repeating the alert even after you have read the missed message.
Also another program option would be PhoneAlarm (lite or Pro).
Also - on a similar note, I tested some of these setting combinations. You can see the results here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459297
I am using missedcallreminder v1.2 and it works a treat......
Search for it on this site......
I just tried the .cab from post number 3.
It worked fine with the first test message I sent myself, but by the second test message, it DID repeat itself even after I had read the message. I deleted the message for it to stop reminding me and all of a sudden some five minutes later it started reminding me again!!! So, I went ahead and took the check marks off that setting. It's been five minutes and no sound yet.
That is unfortunate. That's a feature that should be considered "essential". I don't know why WindowsMobile or HTC didn't include a good working version of it with the option to remind with sound and/or vibration. We shouldn't have to turn to third-party apps for something like this.
EDIT: BTW, I think this is the program the previous poster was referring to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071
Read the whole thread before you install it. Some people say it uses up too much RAM. I have not tried it, so I can't say anything about it.
Thank you for the applicaion, i used to do it troguh registery but its nicer to have a program doing it for ya

I'm not completely sure (just did some limited testing) but I believe that if you press the DOWN key on the home screen it will stop the notifications, even if you son't read the message.

Hey, has tried this cab manila 2.5_2012.1225?
I found out about it on forums after much searching. I wish I could post the links but because I'm a new user I'm not permitted
It works pretty well for me so far I just need some help trying to fix a few things like getting landscape mode to work, getting the photo browser to work properly (you can only browse ie. no slideshow or enlarging photos), getting the wifi tab to work in settings etc.
If you need help installing it just ask, I have all the necessary files and instructions - just don't know if I'll be able to post the links or upload them?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ignore the above - I have resolved most of these issues. I have attached a text file instruction on how to install this and where to get it in my last post below.
Deleted!!!
Deleted means what?
Got the photo album to work now
Got landscape mode to work as well
Everything working bug-free now - just a few of the tabs in settings like gsensor calibration not working but nothing serious. Phew, no need for cooked roms.
manila 2.5 cab
Can you post the link?
I would like to try witht the lastest official rom

Can you let us know what additional steps are needed to take after you install to get it optimized on our phones? What are the remaining bugs that still need to be fixed? I read the forum and it looks like there's alot of extra steps... this sounds great though, look forward to hearing from you...thx!

Instructions for installing manila cab
OK for all who are interested, I have uploaded a text document detailing how to go about getting this Manila CAB to work. So far I'm very happyThere may be 1 or 2 tabs that don't work in the settings tab but they really don't bother me - one is Gsensor calibration for example. Let me know if this works. I had to try and search for all the links again so I hope I got them right for you.
Known issues thus far:
1) Music doesn't play when the screen is switched off
2) Album searcher can't see videos
Am trying to get these fixed. Will let you know when I find anything.
Just one thing you must be aware of: without installing this I had about 100mb program ram; after installing with all the fixes it goes down to roughly 70mb. It's not a problem for me because I don't demand a lot from my phone and never use more than 1 application at a time but I could perhaps recommend installing netnerds custom business rom which is ultralight and then trying this CAB over it. If any of you try this approach and have success with more memory let me know

Hi
I followed the steps and most of things work perfectly.
A few things that doesn't work for me, maybe I am doing something wrong
1. My location doesn't work
2. Music can't continue playing when I turn the screen off
3. No video in "pictures and video" tab and no landscape mode.
Thanks

Did anyone else have problems with the weather? If so try this cab file. I found it wasn't necessary for me but it was for the previous version of the manila cab file. Please note that you need to update the weather manually at least I found this to be the case. Personally I don't mind this. As far as the weather screen saver goes, I have never actually seen manila 2.5 in live action, only in videos so I don't know how exactly its should work but it does work full screen in the background but only when the home tab "reloads" so to speak, when it plays once through the animation and then returns to normal. I'm not sure if it's supposed to show the weather in the background continually without end - I thought not or it would drain the battery?
For landscape mode you need to press the 3rd "<" key on your phone.
I haven't got any videos on my phone so I haven't been able to test if it can find them or not.
Is music supposed to carry on playing when you press the left hard button? If so it doesn't mine either.
