Registry trouble with phoneAlarm

Just recently I detected that I do not receive any calendar notifications any more, which is really annoying. Device wakes up but no sound at all. Browsed some threads on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1035667#post1035667) but only advise I found is to hard reset - which I do not want. I checked the registry instead and found some questioning entrys.
Could anybody USING PHONEALARM (www.pocketmax.net) on a Prophet or any other WM5 device please post some of his registry entries here?
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications
Many thanks

I have no problem with these software. Did you have the last version already?

Could you post you registry values then? Would be very helpful for me
Thanks

To me either pocket clock or PHONEALARM caused the same problem.
I went back to a sprite back-up point from before installing both applications. Then my reminders and alarms worked again.
I have not tried to reinstall either of them.

Could you help me posting your registry values please? Once I found a solution without hard resetting I will post it here, seems that many have this problem. And I feel it is connected to PhoneAlarm

The registry values?
I didn't manipulate the registry, I just put the user name and introduce the serial number.

Yes I did the same. And after more than two months I ran into the mentioned problem. And now I want to manipulate the registry but need to compare the mentioned values with mine. There is nothing critical about registry values and your would pretty much help me providing your info.

hase01 - here you go...
BTW, I had the exact same thing happen to me with my Magician, and had to hard-reset to get notifications back. I've only just been game enough to load pA on my newish Prophet and so far it is working OK. I am running pA Lite v.1.56.1 (Build 80).

PeterW,
many thanks. Unfortunatly it looks the same on my phrophet - but without getting notified. I am using pA 1.31 - no idea whether this will generate other registry entries than pA lite 1.56.1. On my my WM2003 device with pA 1.31 installed the registry looks different, in reminders I have:
* Default = "Erinnerungen"
* Duration = 10
* Options = 1073741855
* Wave = "Alarm4"
Anybody else having these entries in a WM5 registry?
Regards Hase01

Have found a solution using alarmToday, also a pocketmax product. Look my post on their support page:
http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=2637.0
No need for a hard reset!!!!! Hope this helps other users, for me phoneAlarm is one of the best tools I have on my PPC and to deinstall it would be of great disadvantage.

I used Freeware Task Manager from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104 to fix this. Run it, go to notifications tab, select "delete duplicate" and reboot. All working nicely now.

I am not 100 percent postive but I don't think it is my settings. I have my htc home doing the same and also want it changed to normal time but the reason I thought it was not my cab is that I do not have the 24 hr setup on the top taskbar so I can't see any cooralation but anything is possible..also I have noticed the time sometimes is not the same....meaning htc home is off by a min....I read somewhere that the time was off by exact hours do to timezone setting issue but I hve just installed htc home and haven't played with it enouhh yet...also all the threads on htc home SUCK....they are filled with garbage flamings and worthless ques asked 8 mil times over and over so I have not gone through 19 pages of the thread yet.

LOL thamks for your reply I didnt know if it was a program in it that was changing it. All I reall like about the HTC Home Plugin is the large clock anyway so maybe we will find a fix for it I guess this is something telling me I need to get better at reading the 24 hour format LOL Thanks wpbear and again another great release

hey anyway to get all these addons in a file where I can choose what I want, I specifically do no want Tweak utitlity cause it crashes when I install it on a cooked rom of mine

Anyway to edit the cab and remove files I don't want? or once I install the cab is there a utility that can remove individual programs cause with the new schaps 3.57a it has its own tweak utility that screws up when I install this cab, for once I want to bake my own cake and eat it too and well ya knwo what eat the whole entire damn cake with the cream and cherrys, screw the bastard who said "you can bake a cake and eat it too" f-ck that! im gona stuff my face until i pass out!

Save Battery Using These Regisrty Hacks

I Used These Hacks Wen I Had My Dash Im Using It ON THe Shadow And I Have Great Results ps I Take No Responsibility For Any damage And I Did Not Make These I Found Them

"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 00000000

Sir Charles!!
I applied these yesterday and I believ you have something....but I wonder if it's catchy. LOL
I left my connections on all night (BT/wifi), talked for 90 minutes to my friends and family, listened to music on pocket player for an hour and a half and now, 24 hours later I still have 50% battery.
I usually don't activate my connections until I use them and typically don't call too many people on this phone (I have a sucky corporate phone), but it seems all this added activity has not had anywhere near the impact I normally would expect.
I'll spread the word and see if more folks won't give this a try on their Shadows.
Meanwhile....Thanks!!

Well I have installed already and testing, post results later
Thanks,

I downloaded the .cab and attempted to install. The install was unsuccessful- anyone know why that might be? Could my registry be locked? I am using WM6.1_V1b_by_Erofich.

So, no feedback yet ?

What kind of feedback are you looking for? I use it, I recommend it. This should be the first thing you install on your shadow.

Hmm ok, so does it work for diamond ?

Um, no... that's why it's posted in the Shadow/Juno forum and not the Diamond forum.

Actually, all of the registry keys are present in both the touchscreen and non-touchscreen editions of WM 6.1.
So the CAB installer may not work, but the actual registry fix should.
I am trying this on my Wizard and will edit later to post how it works out.
#edit to add#
Works great on both my Wizard and my Juno.
I think that these should work for any WM 6.x build.

Ok thank's, i will try these settings !

I'm feeling bored, so i'll go in to what these keys do.
Basically all of these are power management keys, which allows the phone to turn devices/connections off when not in use.
If you want, you can take my word for it, otherwise you can use the links.
AsyncMac is The NDISWAN implementation in Windows Embedded CE
IrSIR = Infrared Serial Driver
PPTP and L2TP are VPN protocols.

"RealExit" Opera

Hi,
if someone doesnt want to have an opera process after closing it (it takes about 10% of your ram), then you should edit the following registry value.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Preload
Name: RealExit
from 0 to 1.
sorry if someone have allready posted it. i didn´t find something like that.
lord

I cant find "Preload"?
And btw, if you close opera, yes there stays 10%, but if you wait about 10 seconds, the 10% is gone again. So what is the problem?

You have to create a new key for it....

create Dword key?

jop a new dword-key.
i´ve got problems closing opera. maybe it depands on roms or opera version.

Hi,
I just used task manager setting 'End programs by tapping "X"'
Does this not close Opera as when I click X on Opera it never shows on Task Manager.

you are right. but if you install a "real" taskmanager, then you would see, there is a prozess still running.
edit:
i see you dont use tf3d. maybe you dont have these problems.

This is great, thanks.
I don't use TF3D and I soft-reset often so I don't have big memory problems but this will mean a few less resets!

strange... i already had the value (it was @ 0)...
we'll see what the change does.

Thanks for the tip.

A cab file to do this is available on my thread.
The new 2.03 based roms don't generally need this as it's already set.

Works ABSOLUTELY fine. NOW . . . HOW to get rid of Opera COMPLETELY ?????? Thanks for the tweak!!!!

Improve Wi-Fi Speed! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

i found this last night on ppcgeek and it works great. My WIFI is about 40% faster. I think it needs to be tested for power drain.
Here is a great tweak that speeds up your Wi-Fi.. It works by enabling the “g mode” of your device’s WLAN card (disabled by default on most devices). This hack has proven to improve Wi-Fi speeds by 3 times..
Iinstall the attached .CAB to the device, then soft reset. It will change the value of dot11SupportedRateMaskG from the default 4 (1 in some cases) to 8 inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS.
Note: Some devices don't have that structure in the registry. If it's your case, our cab will create it automatically.
I do not take credit for the creation of this.. I merely happened to find this at the site linked above and thought to post it here..

my HD has this registry without any tweaks. Thanks anyway.

I looked on my HD and couldn't find it? How do you make the adjustment?

So Kev, your WiFi was 11Mbit before? My THD does not have this registry entry, but a similar one
....TNETW12511/Parms/Wireless
When I change the valume of Wireless to 8 (from 1) it shows 54Mbit speed after Softreset, but I forgot to check the speed before the change.
WiFi seems to run faster, but...maybe I am dreaming...
In order to change such values you need a registry editor, there is a plugin one built into Resco Explorer for example.

What is with the battery? Does it drain (much) faster?

my HD also has this registry string and by default it's 8... however i'm using dutty's 1.7 rom so maybe he cooked that reg in his rom or all 1.21.* roms have that reg string...
