Hello,
I have just bought a Tytn and about the only function I miss from my old mobile is the stopwatch/countdown function. Does anyone know of any decent freeware that can provide this?
Cheers.
Very simple...but effective:
http://www.deltadevelopment.de/users/christoph/deltaTimer/
I've tried a few countdown program (for my cookings and laundry), but they seems to have the same problem (including the one stated above), all of them are running on a background task basis. Once you have the program switch off (some doesn't even survive a phone off) and the timer stops. Non of the software I've tested actually runs on notification queue (like the way WM5's reminders are based). Hence, I actually use my alarm program as count down timer.
Thanks for the replies.
This program do not wake up my device when it should ring.
Spb Clock is great timer application, but it has the same issue.
Hi all
I'm trying out Klaxon alarm clock.
Can anyone tell me the purpose / function of the "bell" button (bottom 2nd from right in attached image).
When I'm setting up an alarm, clicking on it just toggles making it lit up/not. If I press the play button it always plays an alarm tone (beep) whether the bell button is pressed or not. Very confusing and as usual with all these little apps there is no manuals or instructions anywhere.
Thanks for any help
Bell icon in klaxon
When bell icon is 'lit' it means the alarm is active. When bell icon is 'unlit' it means alarm is inactive.
Thanks for the reply qai5er
Stil confused. If I go in an edit /create a new alarm, why would I want to make th ealarm inactive???? Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron ?
Also, when I click on the "play" button it plays an alarm beeping regardless of whether the alarm is active or inactive. Surely if I make the alarm inactive, then the play button should play nothing and perhaps tell me "nothing to play, alarm inactive"...??
also as well as the questions above, can anyone tell me what the items mean on the alarm config page . . .
Snooze (min) I assume this is the snooze time
Expire (Min) - what is this?
Delay (Sec) - what is this?
Many thanks to anyone who can help

No, it is'nt. This is an important feature to me at least. Just because I have set up the alarm does not mean that there is'nt situation when I do not need it. Let me give you an example. I may have an alarm to remind me to pick up my children after school. During school holidays, I would make it inactive, and I would reactivate it when the school starts. I could delete it during school holiday and recreate it I suppose but that's too troublesome.
You might find good use of this in the future.
Since Klaxon seems to work witout any problems on your devices I was wondering if you could tell me which settings you chose.
I have installed Klaxon and checked all boxes in the settings-menu, but the alarm won't work.
Instead of the Klaxon alarm the standard WM-alarm start at the specified time, but ends after a few seconds by itself (probably because Klaxon wants to start its alarm?).
Could you give me any advice?
TIA

What does the options "Integrate with TouchFlo3D" and "Forcibly remove windows Alarm" do?
I see no difference in touch flo nor in the normal windows alarms. Even if I touch clock in touch flo windows alarm is opened.

None - it doesn't seem to work.
However, I've installed SSMapa (2 files copied into /windows and then when opening up settings I get 2 questions - accept these). Second - start SSMapa, do an init, find time / clock and set up program exactly as typed:
/Program/Klaxon/Klaxon.exe
Set directory:
/Program/Klaxon
Chose save. Then deploy. You get 2-3 worrysome questions about removing signed exe files - answer yes. Restart device for simplicity sake or wait a moment and you'll get 2-3 questions about MP???.exe answer yes. Now you have Klaxon integrated completely into your interface. Meaning that when alarm sounds, Klaxon pops up. When you click the time - Klaxon is opened. No more useless WM time settings.

I have tried this but I cannot seem to find Klaxon.exe whether it is installed on my device or on my Storage card, I am not sure what to do.
Nevermind, got it working after LOTS of messing around
at least 2 people have now said that they managed to sort it out, but didn't explain how they did it.
to the people who are now able to use klaxon as a normal alarm, can you please share what settigns you had to change to get the alarm to play (say, a mp3), and then snooze for x minutes ?
thanks
I ended up uninstalling it as it was too unreliable. It was a bit slow to start up and also the alarm always went off late when integrated with TouchFlo (not sure if S2U2 was causing this). Back on the standard alarm now and it actually goes off at the right time now, which is a bonus.

I guess that the Expire is the how long the alarm wanto keep snoozing.
Let say yr snooze time is 5 mins. And yr expire time is 30 mins. Means it will only snooze for 6 times.. then it expired..

U can chooose the ringtone (MP3) from the 'sound logo' which is left to the 'Play' logo. From there u go search for yr MP3 file from yr folders. But remember to lit up the 'bell' logo or else it wont sound. Also pls close the light sensor which i found it is troublesome which yr alarm wont sound after 1st snooze.

does this work with htc hd 2 and htc sense?
because it says only touchflo 3d and not htc sense?
thanks for the answer
cheers
I would like to switch off the alarm just by rotating the phone, for eg. from face up to face down.
Is it possible to do it with stock alarm app or do I need to install other alarm application ? Which one ?
Thanks in advance
Andrej
klaxon has this feature. you can also shake the phone to snooze/turn off the alarm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412669
G-Alarm does the same but there are still more functions
GAlarm is also nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465879
edit: oops, I did not refresh fast enough I guess
Thanks I installed Klaxon.

Hi,
You can install BsBtweaks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305&highlight=bsbtweaks+hd2) and select the "Windows Notifications (enable dismiss X time in notification)" option.

thank you for your reply, i already have BSB Tweaks, i tried enabling/ disabling the ( enable x time in notification ) but still no luck, i dont have the slide to snooze/dismiss alarm notification
same problem but not following pocketshield
Hi, I've got the same problem and I have been trying the same solution without success... first I was not seeing the notifications at all (had to do some advanced windows config to change that), and now I only get the Windows stock look and feel notifications instead of the HTC HD2 Sense style notifications.... I have another thread opened earlier on the same topic, still no solution.

well thats no fun LOL and I kinda Like this ver
The Windows Mobile built in alarm is unreliable, if you set appointments and alarms, alot of the time just the appointment will go off,or neither will go off.
I would suggest gAlarm, it's the best I have found.
Really though, if you need your phone's alarm as anything more than a novelty, a 3rd party app is the way to go.
