I have never been able to find a way to change the default calendar and task/todo reminder snooze times. Anyone know if it can be done in registry or can make a hack for it?
I want to add some snoozes like 7 hours (for later in the day) and 3 days (for later in the week).
Thanks!

Boy have you hit the nail on the head. This is driving me nuts! I hope someone comes up with instructions or a fix. Jumping from 1 hour snooze to 1 day or greater doesn't work for me. I too need more "hour" selections. I hope that someone responds to our plea for help.
me tooo....
More Snooze options Please !
This is the single most annoying problem with WM, I can not believe that they did not simply offer the same as Outlook
Workaround when you need it snooze for 6h for example, snooze every hour for 6h or re-edit reminder time
I got my first WM 4 months ago, and been looking everywhere to fix this, without success
I send a CHALLANGE to all hacker and developer to come up with a solution
Bump!
Does anyone know if there is any way to do this? If the reminder snooze times are hard coded into the OS is there a way to create a program to intercept reminders and provide our own times?
I would love options for 2, 4, 6, 8 hours! It is crazy that it jumps from 1 hour to 1 day!
Thanks!
Does anybody know a workaround/registry edit or something for this yet?
Just to add that I am also interested in a solution for this. Happy to pay a developer to solve if that is what it takes.

Hello,
I used to have an alarm clock set for 9.25am. I don't anymore. 9.25am appears NOWHERE in WM5 alarm settings. However every day at 9.25am my alarm goes off.
Is there a way to fix this without doing a hard reset? I tried searching the forum but wasn't able to find an answer.
I have an MDA with latest ROM from T-mobile's website.
Thanks!
You need to get the check notifications program.
Theres probably a stray entry in the notifications dB that makes your alarm go off.
Its not available on the developers website anymore, but am sure some kind sole will post it on here for you.

Memmaid is another program - u can download it as a trial version to start
with.

You have my sincerest sympathies. My Alpine model has the fun habit of doing the same thing... at 5:30 in the morning. I have absolutely no idea why it does this at seemingly random intervals (but always at the same time). If it carries on for much longer I'l have to hard-reset. But I've spent so much time and energy customising my Alpine and I will lose everything.

Thank matt1971!
I have used the checknotifications program and was able to remove the 9.25am alarm issue.
Even though this program clearly states that it works only on 2003 OS, I ran it on WM5 and it worked fine.

so after I removed all 9.25am references with CheckNotifications, the alarm still went off today.
Any further suggestions how to rid of this annoying issue?
Same issue
I am having the same issue as well at 6 am, which I set a few weeks ago to pick someone up at the airport. I then changed the clock for that particular alarm setting back to my normal time, 10 am. Now it goes off at 6 and 10.
One other irritating thing I noticed... my "5"minute snooze is only 1 minute.
So I am hoping that the alarm creates little registry values that I can find and destroy! lol
I'll get back if I find anything

Can this problem be fixed with total commander?
Hi all, I'm new to posting here, but have been snooping about getting all the good bits for my BA for a while. So thanks very much for that!
I've recently upgraded to WM6 and noticed that the alarm clock is almost exactly the same as the one for WM2003SE, but for one small difference. The alarm clock repeat is so far apart that there is next to no point repeating it. I'm a heavy sleeper and need something that constantly goes off to wake me up. I used the alarm clock on my BA for a year or so without it ever failing.
I've read through the other threads; here and here; and I've decided that instead of adding to my BA's memory usage etc, I would prefer it if there was a little fix which would just go in and find where the alarm program is, and change the repeat time to maybe 2 seconds after it finishes playing? Is that possible?
Many thanks!
Heya,
I've sent you a private message as well, but the best opp for this is SPB Time, the only problem is that it isn't for free...
But this does it all, it wakes you with 2 big buttons on screen, snooze and dismiss and you can just select no matter which MP3 on your device and select repeat times or number of repeats and even plan for a whole month if you like...

Or if you are a music lover.
Try Pocket Music Plus.
It is a commercial software too and it uses your playlist as the alarm melody.
sent you a pm.
Thanks to both of you. I'll look in to them both and see which I prefer.
I was really after a fix for the current alarm clock, asit used to work great in wm2003SE, apart from teh occasional bug if one alarm over ran another it would crash.... But thanks, I'll try both of them!
Can someone 'hack' the alarms on the tf3d?
It only let us set up 3 alarms ( i think its few ), maybe 6 can fit in the same window.
Come on guys you're expert on these things
Let us have our TP2's with more than 3 pre set alarms.
Thanx in advance
i use the "g-alarm" app, you have to pay for it now but i think version 1.5.1 is the last free one and you can find it if you google search
tnx but i like the original alarm set on tf3d, i think if someone can had more 3 alarm sets it yould be perfect. you wouldnt need other software.
tnx again
Oh, come on. My last WM5 phone only had 1! You really need to be awoken that frequently, you narcoleptic! Just add some notifications to your calendar!
i use klaxon... it integrates into manilla and sits out the way once set up.

Not true, visit www.ageye.de and you can download 2.2 for free.
the winmo alarm is intermittant and does not always work!
Yea! i've been suffering since WM5 from those 3 alarms, would it hurt to add more?
honestly chaps .... give klaxon a go ... it's free, sits outa the way, takes almost no system overhead, and if you dont like it get rid of it....
no i dont work for them, but have been using it for a month and a half with various different alarms set, and am very happy with it.
Download klaxon HERE
Hey everyone,
Is there a way to set the reminder snooze time at 0 minutes. I mean when I set an appointment at 12:00 and I want it to remind me at 12:00?
Currently the minimum time which I can set via the HTC Calendar is 5 minutes. I can change it via the original WM6.5 calender buts it kind off a hassle.
Any tweak available for this?
Thanks,
Nick
There is an option to set the reminder as None. Its above the 5 minute option if you scroll.
Test this out and see if it works for you.

I honestly think he DOES what to be remimded of the appointment (instead of not being reminded, by selecting None), BUT he wants to be reminded of it after the appointment has started!
So nvandenbosch, you're one of those guys who love interrupting a started meeting...
I can only suggest writing to Customer Support. Hope you won't get the question I got when I've asked why basic Company information (COmpany name) is not shown in contact information in HTC People, even though Company address (pointless, many times) is: their response: "it's not how the device was designed".

It's just when I have to call someone at 10, I get a reminder at 10 and not 5 to 10.... For meetings I use the 5 minute reminder indeed .
I will contact HTC tomorrow.
Thanks!

Good luck with that!
Hope you won't get someone like I did, someone who would probably tell you something like "hey you... why don't you just set the reminder at 10:05 and the reminder 5 minutes earlier, so you get reminded at 10:00..."
Real support, what can I say!
Even makes you wonder what they want to say by

You'd be better off using Tasks for this, you can set a reminder for the exact time you want.
Is there a way (registry hack maybe?) to set the default reminder time to 0 minutes maybe? Does anyone know?

Any updates on this?
Weird thing is that on a smartphone with WM 6.1 I can set the snooze from 5 mins up an 1hr +, and with Leo I can't ? This doesn't make any sense, does it?

do you mean when the alarm rings, you only get the option to snooze or dismss?
Use bsb tweaks and turn on windows dismiss x notificatiions, which will re enable the 5 mins, 10 mins 1 hour etc etc list of snooze options.

Many thanks, I never realized that BsB Tweks has this option.
no worries, just having snooze or dismiss is just silly.

And frustrating.
why the hell cant a £500 phone alarm function work??
its proper annoying, i dont see why we should have to buy a alarm app from another site just coz the htc hd2 doesnt work
I know it sucks..... I bought G-alarm that works great. I found a free app that looks like the G-alarm. Here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-klaxon.html
the WM alarm is the same on all WM devices. Just download an app (there are perfectly good free ones like Klaxon) to do what you like.
P.s. use the search next time - this has been discussed at length previously.
i bought g-alarm for the extra features but the default alarm always worked fine for me as a basic alarm. what exactly doesn't work?
For me, the alarm only rings twice, then it stops. I looked but I can't seem to find a setting for "extending" the ringing. I'm a heavy sleeper, so I need this thing to chirp for at least a full minute!

just tested mine and it rings until i stop it. Not really sure what tweak fixed it, but heres my alarm tweaks.
first,
HKLM\system\shell\notification\oem\
in CustomUIDLL, the default value is NotificationLayout.dll
Change that filename to anything that doesnt exist (example NotificationLayout2.dll) and you will get all your snooze options back (5 mins, 10 mins 1 hour 1 day etc etc, , , this is what bsb tweaks does if you choose the 'windows x dismiss' tweak)
secondly, and i think this may be the one,
HKLM\system\shell\notification\oem\reminder
there is a value called EnableAutoDismiss which is probably set to 1. Set that to 0 and try your alarms. Please let me know if this is it, cos it would be one a lot of people would be interested in.
(It could just be that the chef of my rom has fixed it, and it has nothing to do with EnableAutoDismiss, but worth a try, eh?)
