I'm after a 3rd party alarm clock for my device.
Although the standard one works, I would like to be able to have the alarm sound with a random track from my MP3 directory.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I think Mortplayer has that functionality. I use it as my alarm, but not random tracks though.

Yeah, I've seen Mortplayer but I really liked the randomise feature when I used to use PocketMusic bundle on my old Wizzard, but it doesn't seem to wake the Hermes up properly.
Try enAlarm, you can find it here:
http://www.maik-wiege.de/en/enalarmppc/
I think you can not add the directory itself, but you can add several mp3 files and then can play these files randomly.
I'm not trying to hijack your thread but u also see the problem with the normal alarm not waking the hermes up properly. I think its a general windows mobile problem.
I wish window mobile alarms were as dependable as the palm os alarms lol.

enAlarm is an alarm clock, its not for alerts on meetings and so on. I never missed an alarm with it, even if its not running in the background. It can handle a locked and sleeping hermes too without any problems.

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???????

not good. it's done that to me, only once on the original (pre AKU2) ROM but I've not seen it do that since. might be worth a support request just to let 'em know
ALARM
I use mp3alarmpro.net and it wakes my k-jam just fine and without fail..
Best part is you can choose any mp3 or wav file from any folder in your device

How did you download this?
Each time I try their download link it takes me to their site map page.
seems to be broken. have sent an email to the ActiveKittens to find out what's broken! Hopefully they're just releasing v2.9....
Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.
so i'm using jwright's newest rom, wondering if anyone is able use an mp3 for thier alarm tone?
it'd be cool, [email protected]
set it to be your calender notification and make an appointment with an appropriate time and reminder period. you can't do it in the clock settings.
thanks for the reply friend,
that sucks.... is there an alarm program that anyone uses that would allow this, any hack that are available? the bundled ALARMS SUCK
they freak me out in the morning, i blast out of bed and i'm WTF WAS [email protected] that's not how i like to wake up.

Don't use SBP time - it doesn't like WM6
it's so hard to wake up to music on the uni...
Try PocketMusic player, i use it to stream from my network, it also has an alarm clock built in that will play your selected track.
Hey guy my alarm clock wont repeat the sound just plays it once, i've check the repeat box it wont work .
could any one recommend my a good alarm program for ppc that would play mp3's and such .
Thanks
I like pTravel Alarm
the alarm will repeat after a few minutes.
anyways, so far there aren't really any decent alarm clocks for windows mobile. Hope that someone programs one. pTravelAlarm is okay, but its big. almost 3mb for just an alarm clock?
try SPB-Time
SPB time is good as well. But then again, almost 3mb.
wish someone would program a finger friendly alarm clock that's less than 500kb *hint*
a basic theme would be ok, i mean come on... when the alarm goes off, you'd put it back to snooze. and you cant even barely see yet see you're like half asleep. GUI doesnt have to be nice, since you'll just look at it for 1 sec

Wolfclock
http://wolfclock.en.softonic.com/pocket
free, repeating alarms, works on BA Wm2003se and Wm5/Wm6
as well as the wm5/wm6 Hermes
Customisable backdrops
I use this with my other BA that is not in use for it's general purpose
it sits on my bedside night table on the charging cradle running this app as an alarm clock hehe
PoketWakeup (freeware) or Chronos (comercial)
http://page.freett.com/todamitsu/AlarmClockE.htm is nice
but the thing is you can only set alarm for 1 alarm. No presets
is it possible to make stock alarm clock play mp3's ?
impossible ?
Does anyone know how I change the alarm sound? My HTC only has a few (bad) tones and I have no idea how to add some new ones!
if you mean timed alarm sound, i suggest to install Pocket wake Up, the best way to get wake up with the music of your choice.
ugh. French? :s
you can download winff (freeware) which will convert your sounds to wav, then copy the wav files to \Windows\ on your device.
otherwise Pocket WakeUp is good, but you must use "WakeUp Tweak" (google it) to fix the issue where the program launches but the phone does not play the alarm sound...

Installed Pocket WakeUp, gave it a try and it works like a charm! I'll use the default alarm aswell for a few days to check if I have problems with it. If so, I'll install the tweak.
Anyway, it's a pretty nice program. I found some files in english but cannot install them for some reason. No prob, as I know French
with pocket wakeup, it is strange because my phone goes into suspend mode during the night (normal), but when it is time to wake up the program launches but the phone does not wake up, and does not ring...

Alarm wake up
hi , i have been searching for a way to change my pooh alarm tones on my touch dual ,and i have found this program, you can use wav,mp3 ,set any amount of alarms,repeat etc,,,tried on mine and works a dream .
hope its of use to someone ,
hi.
i'm gone try it to see if it works well at my touch dual.
(sorry my english)
I have many custom alarm signals. You simply convert the mp3s (or other files) to wav-format (on your PC) and then copy over them to /windows on your phone. They will then be visible in the alarms drop down.
Hello!
I heave a problem on my Leo with the (wakeup) alarm.
I missed my school every day this week, today too.
My leo sounds the alarm only one time, and stops. I don't wakep and miss school.
Can I somehow turn, some, alarm repeat? That repeats my alarm few times so that I can wake up.
please! I heave problems in school becouse of this.
*lol* That sounds very funny to me...
May you should have test the alarm before using it?
I've done that....
My solution is to use the Klaxon alarm-clock, which works like a charme.
You should give it a try!
Klaxon
i would like a tweak for original alarm ..............
I've tried Claxon, but it doesn't seem to want to go off. Anyone definitely got it working on this phone?
My short term solution is an alarm at 07:30, another at 07:45, and a third at 08:00. Not ideal!
What idiot designed an alarm that doesn't persist in trying to wake you up? The chocolate teapot award goes to them.
maybe you would like to try g-alarm...it's quite good
when i checked last time g alarm didnot support vibration ....
any how original alarm is well integrated in phone i would like to tweak it ...........
I also cannot understand why there would be a limit of 3 alarms - I got round the no repeating problem by using alarmtone5, it's horrible enough to wake you up the first time round.
hahaha
i just can't wake up. i need an extrem alarm tone.
but thanx. i will try some of this programs.
but a tweak would be ideal.
tnx guyz n grlz

Yeah right I've got that one for alarms 2 and 3.
Still though, if I've been out drinking til 4 and I'm up again at 7:30 for work, I need an alarm that is prepared to go off for 30 minutes+ if I definitely want it to wake me!
Ps. The suggestion to go to bed earlier is out of the question!
same with me!! disappointment htc.. fuken WANKER!
just make the WAV file longer
Hi
Same problem here, I just used Audacity (or any other WAV editing tool), to copy and paste the waveform several times. Now my Alarm-Snooze file is much longer, and wakes me up before it finishes. You can make it as long as you like.
I'm attaching my one if you want to use that, just copy it into the WINDOWS directory, and choose the alarm named "Alarm-Snz-long".
a question ?
if we goto settings>Menu>all settings>clock&alarms>alarms>select the reminder icon
now here whats function of repeat ........
it never works ......

Sorry, I didn't word that at all well I meant how do I get this file in the alarms section, not off my SD card. I put the file into the windows directory and it was there along with the regular alarm snooze, alarm classic and alarm light etc but when I go to set the alarm and choose an alarm tone, the alarm snooze long file isn't listed. How do I get it into the alarms section so that Win Mo recognises it?
*EDIT This new file shows when using the HTC alarm but not the Win Mo embedded one. Not a problem, I'd not actually seen the HTC alarm until just now
but this files is not a permanent solution ......
at least want to know how alarm is controlled in registry .............

Not elegant, nor pleasing on the ear - which was probably how you intended it
