Could someone please be so kind as to list the entires in the notification queue of a fairly clean JasJar for me. Just the main program, found using Pocket Mechanic, and excluding standard calendar entries.
I mistakenly deleted something, and I need to try and figure out what it was without going thro a hard reset...

Pls don't get angry on me.
I have the same sound/nomore calendarwarning at all/ and random alarm problem.
I downloaded, on you advice, pocketmechanic, and am now in front of the Notification Queue.
Can you tell me what I can delete and what I can't?
huib
You can delete CALENDAR and TASKS entries - they will re-add themselves. But rather not cos you have nothing to gain
\\.\Notification\.....SCRIPT... entries seem to cause problems. If they are due to activate soon, leave them alone. If they are due to go off in a few days, kill the little buggers. I think that many of them are registration checkers.
You WILL have duiplicate sddaemon entries with yellow icons. Kill them ALL and enjoy it!
You should find 1 of each of the follwoing:
- repllog
- \windows\calupd
- CALNOT
You will find 2 of each of the following:
- calnot
- clocknot
- repllog
ANything else is 'interesting'. Google it and kill it if it does not point to something u r happy with. I have never had one not sort itself out if it was required (eg weather updating - will come back when weather app next loads).
OK, so I did. Deleted 46 dups.
And than a soft reset:
Still 46 dups over there. But first:
The warning sound that comes up, starts before even asking for the Sim pin. Nearly immediately after soft resetting, this sounds comes up It keeps warning me for quite a time and then stops. I think it repeats about 8 times, but everytime with a slower interval between the (three tones) beeps. Do you think it should also be in that queue?
I really don't want to hard reset any more. It is so much work.
Before this problem started I had my battery drained , ignoring low battt warnings. Could that be the case? That the jasjar shuts down before properly handling the sounds?
The calendar does not warn anymore, so somewhere in this queue something is blocked?
Interesting, right?
Huib
Hell, not sure 'interesting' is the word I'd use. This sounds awful.
I did hear that running the battery empty is indeed bad for a Universal. But I think it was bad for the battery not for the ROM.
I don't understand why your duplicates come back! Post a list of the following:
- A few of the duplicates in detail
- An idea of what all these duplicates are (are they all the same)
- A list of progs in \windows\startup
- A list of installed apps (excluding games and things)
This is surely easy to solve. Let's see what we can do.

\windows\sddaemon.exe apprunAfterrestore action details: n/a
Notify when a device restore is complete. handle: 0x300056
and many more nearly the same but with handle 0x3a000055 or 0x3f000056 or idem but with 0x38000059 etc etc
Alle of the dups are in that list, close to each other. So they are more or less the same.
What about a suggestion to" Just remove sddaemon.lnk from \windows\startup\
then soft reset. it is ok"
from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=180017#180017
In windows startup: Poutlook and sddaemon + spb GPRS notify (GPRS is recently new, after the problems started)
progs: listpro, pbreeze ( But I did not have that installed when the problems rised the first time I had them) Pocketweather, Ewallet ( now removed) NR de Luxe,
Edited: oops , I forgot Agile. And I also forgot to say that I had many freezes, using Agile. So also here there could be a source of problems.
Huib
Create a new folder \windows\StartupDisabled, and move sddaemon here. Kill the duplicates, and soft reset. I can't imagine that they come back. Does this solve the startup issue. If not, you'll need to tell us exactly what else is running under notifications.
If it works, keep it like this for a few days and see if voice command still works OK. I'm trying myself right now after reading that post.

Sorry, but still dups ( 43 now)
And that stupiud warningn sound is still there. My right led keeps blinking, and I thought it should not blink.
A hard reset? (becoming suicidal)'

This does not make sense; we are going to check 3 things:
1) are u using PM correctly
2) are dups truly getting deleted
3) is the soft reset bringing them back
4) if so, let's stop it
1) Are you correctly using PM to remove dups? You need to TICK each item to be removed (each yellow icon), either manually or by clicking 'dups' button. You THEN have to click "remove" button. You MUST then check that dups have indeed been removed.
2) Exit PM, go back in and check they are not there. If they've come back, then you have a corrupted notifications queue that PM is not dealing with correctly. Hard reset I'm afraid - but look for another post I started on TIPS n TRICKS - it's not nearly as brutal as u think.
3) Now, soft reset - if they came back then it's the reset that's causing the porblem. If not, then you should be good. Is your SR going OK without the sounds now?
4) If they DO come back, then look for notification queue entires linked to "AppRUnAfterRestore" and tell us what they are.

1. I click DUP: 44 found Then I click DELETE and I read : 44 notificatons succesfully deleted.
2.I leave PM an start it again to be sure : I click DUP: 0 found.
3. Soft reset directly after that, goto PM etc and: the same 44.
Sounds are still there: when sounds stop after x times richt LED keeps blinking red or orange colour.

Hell, this sounds awful. Only thing I can think of is to kill ALL sddaemon entries (you MIGHT then lose voice dial functionality) and try again. If they come back again, a hard reset may be the only solution. Sorry.

Subject: ! FIXED!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello All!
After 3 weeks of usage of my Qtek9000:
- all the Calendar notifications dissapeared (no text, no sound);
- the Alarms did have sound and vibra, but no text and Notification softbutton on the screen;
- alarms sounds could appear on their selfs on a random time and no Text on the screen.
I've searched the forum and it learned out that it is a Notification Que Issue.
It looks that upon a time, that que is being oversized or some mess (duplicates?) happened in it.
So, after that the "Notification Que" Issue appears.
HOW I FIXED IT:
1. Get the MemMaid \ PocketMechanic app;
2. find and delete duplicates, SoftReset (SR) (no success so far);
3. delete up to 200 CALENDAR.EXE entries, (SR) (no success so far);
4. delete up to 100TASK.EXE entries, (SR) (no success so far);
5. delete .\\notificatiopn.....script... entries, (SR) (no success so far);
6. delete all repllog.exe entries (2) and SR- IT WORKS AGAIN !!! ;
From this case - I dont know which of the manipulations actually brought my notifications back alive (is that really the repllog.exe entry?)
The possible longterm solution may be a 3-rd party App, which performs scheduled Notification Que clean up?
This is a very annoying and awfull BUG in the WM5 !!!
As I don't believe the fillowing ROM releases will fix this critical bug, the only way out - is developing the system app to perform a scheduled Notification Que clean up.
All, please, give your feed back: your experience, knowledge on the subject, etc.
Thank you.
My exec seems to be getting worse daily, I have latest ROM and run in corporate mode and I have nothing else installed and yet the Notifications are really annoying me, half the time they appear and there is no dismiss button to clear them, and even when there is, they keep coming back, over and over, on sms text's, alarm's, missed calls anything and everything. I have soft reset over and over and they still come back. Now I notice my Exec was on charge all night, I have not used it other than for waking me up this morning and already battery is down to 30%, It's only 10:45am! Normally I can go home with my battery at around 70% that's after being on battery all day from an over night charge.
Not a happy chappy!
Regards
doesn't sound too normal there matey..time to ring up O2 to do some complaining? mine's an Exec prototype (ROM v: 0.61.00 WWE) and it doesnt' have such problems. i've downloaded the latest rom update but haven't done it yet coz i'm lazy and coz it remaps my keyboard (my prototype has a couple of different key locations)
looks like the latest rom update could have nasty aftereffects...i think i'll put my update 'on hold' for now~~
have you enabled repeating alarms? i find it dodgy and not really well used so had to disable it.
even spb still doesnt support it well
i believe memmaid and or pocket hackmaster has the ability to fix your notifications, or some other bear product but i dont need or use them as i dont have this problem.

Are you using any of these editing tools that aren't WM5-compliant/compatible?
It's curious, because I (and certainly the majority of Universal users) aren't experiencing the problem you're having. I've been using mine since I set it up in November, and only did a hard reset yesterday because the device started getting a bit odd in the syncing department (my docs filenames being cut off).
In your case I would suggest doing a Hard Reset and not fiddling with the notification queue again, as teh only reason people fiddled with it before, was because of the alarm problem in WM2003.
My notification queue never filled, and I used a LOT of different programs, including beta testing for some PIM management tools.

Hello!
Yes, I will do the Hard Reset, but anyway - after some usage time, the queue will fu**k-up again.
I have 1000+ contacts (most of them with Birthdays Reminders), about 50 appointments per month, and all 3 alarms for wakening up in the morning.
The best solution, IMHO - the tool like "Notification Clear Fix - v1.2",
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/fr/index.php?soft=866
(Thanks to bonisalive for information)
Originally, this script is developed for WM2003 to fix its notification queue problems.
Now, we need a same tool for WM5 (the script, or no-GUI exe), which could be scheduled to run at 03.00AM evety Sunday

What I use is ScaryBears Check Notifications. After a missed call or txt, I just run this small application on my EXEC to check if I got a script 000 notifications or any notification added to my original ones. All I have to do is press clear and it errases the script notifications and leaves the original notifications intack. Works fine on my EXEC: http://scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

Have you tried Notification Clear Fix on your Universal? From what I heard it does not work on the Universal. Can you confirm?

Gooroo, I had exectly the same battery problem, after upgrading to the latest o2 firmware. It made the phone virtually useless unless plugged into a power source. The fix was to upgrade to version 1.06 of the radio firmware. Version 1.06 is on this forum somewhere.
I can now use my Exec all day and have bluetooth enabled all day as well
The missing Task Scheduler known from Windows XP!
RunEveryday 1.1 is done! It has:
1) a GUI, easily manage your scheduled tasks
2) Improved notification re-scheduler (old one proved to be kind of buggy)
3) Optionally force device to wakeup (as some programs need this to operate properly)
4) Under the hood, much improved code, easier bug fixing & updates in the future
no more need to use another program to setup the parameters etc. etc, just startup the app without any parameters, and you will be presented with a config dialog. in addition, you should remove any old entries within the notification database before using this new one (they are incompatible).
Everything should wotk MUCH better with this one. but still a few known issues:
1) When changing the system date, and you skip over a day, RunEveryday will get out of sync and stops working propperly. Work around: Start RunEveryday, and without changing anything, press the "Apply" button. this will correct all time/date stamps in the notification database.
2) For now, there can't be any spaces within the filename. Spaces within the directory name are oke though. THis is because I needed to seperate the Full path file name with any command line options, otherwise CreateProcess wouldn't work propperly. (Will be fixed in next version)
3) Keyboard doesn't popup when trying to enter text in the Command line. Workaround: select other program which has keyboard support first, then open RunEveryday, so you can openup the SIP yourself. This will be fixed in next version.
Compatibility: WM2003, WM5, WM6, QVGA, VGA and Square (240x240). in Other words: all recent devices
That's it! if there's any additional problems, I'd like to hear about them.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Text Below is outdated
Older version 1.0 usage:
A command driven app that will maintain itself within the notification database which will execute its params as a program.
for example, run:
\Program Files\RunEveryday.exe \Windows\prog.exe anyparams
this will basically execute \Windows\prog.exe anyparams
but it will register to start the same app with same params again in 24 hours, when it runs next time, it will delete the entry, and schedule again in another 24 hours, and so forth.
With an application like TaskMan you can easily see the notification entry this prog makes, and change it's time-schedule. (in other words, manage this app)
Also, creating a new entry with TaskMan, is really simple, make a CNT_TIME event, point it to RunEveryday.exe, and the application to run as it's params, and it's all set!
// Text Above is outdated
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
My personal usage:
I have a task running every day at 23:00 -> turn radio off (with Vijay's app)
and a task in the morning 09:30 -> turn radio back on
But ofcorse you can use it for many other things! be creative!
Update to v1.1: Some people reported that they couldn't run the app because of some missing libraries. This probabbly goes for most of you WM2003 users: You need a static linked version, which I now have included below. Also, if you happen to get a message like "Cannot find ‘RunEveryday’ (or one of its components)", please try using the static linked version.
nnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeee.. very niiiicccceee. Nicest thing that happened after the sad sad removal of ROMs... I'm soooo *touched..
UPDATE: Btw, an idea, for your next upgrade.. that is to add a day-of-the-week scheduling feature that is able to schedule events on days as well. Example, I may want to switch off my phone at 23:00 everyday. However, if I may went on partying late at night on Friday and Saturday. Hence, my job of "switch radio off at 23:00" can be programmed to be used on Sun-Thur only. And I can then add another job that "switch radio off at 02:00", to be performed on Sat and Sun only, just to make sure my phone won't switch off when I'm out partying on Friday and Sat night.
Thanks ;-)
And ohw, I meant TaskMgr, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104
Edit: Works really great with mortscript's. Lots of possibilities.

I was actualy thinking about that, but that's making things more complicated. Right now, it's fairly simple. no config dialogs requiered etc etc, as you can have multiple apps at different times, which you might want to run at different days of the week, config wise it gets more complicated, much more coding. Maybe later, if I really need it, I'll make something like it, otherwise, this will have to do (sorry). I'm simply sharing some code that I wrote since I needed it myself ;-)
Edit: oke oke, maybe I'll make a "RunEveryWorkDay" variant (still no config required) Not much code writing, will post it here later on, as soon as I have some time on my hands to make a few adjustments.
Okey, I had a little time (kind of quick, haha)
Rather then having a different EXE handling workday events, I made on which is more dynamic.
Example 1, Run only on work days (monday through friday)
\Program Files\RunEveryday.exe OXXXXXO \Windows\prog.exe anyparams
So the string "OXXXXXO \Windows\prog.exe anyparams" becomes the complete param for RunEveryday.exe
As you can see, the first block of the params has become the days for which you want it to be active, X's x's 1's are for active, O's o's 0's for days to be disabled. Days are represented in following order: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wen, Thu, Fri, Sat.
You can still simply omit those days, and it'll work as previously (ALL days):
\Program Files\RunEveryday.exe \Windows\prog.exe anyparams
Everything is still untested (in this latest release) so it might not work propperly. So if you encounter a problem -> tell me and I'll fix it.
I'm working on a much improved version. It will have:
1) a GUI, easily manage your scheduled tasks
2) Improved notification re-scheduler (old one proved to be kind of buggy)
3) Optionally force device to wakeup (as some programs need this to operate properly)
4) Under the hood, much improved code, easier bug fixing & updates in the future
Expect it to be released in the next couple of days (will post it here)
Nice app. Im going to give it a try now
Is Taskman the only app that can set the time?? Can Memmaid be used?
Everyone who has downloaded and tried the initial release, please download the new one, as it contains critical bug fixes.

See the first message in this thread, any other programs like Taskman or memmaid are no longer needed, RunEveryday is now a self-contained program with it's own user interface.
Thanks, this looks very useful, I also wanted an app to turn the radio on/off at scheduled times, Just need to find the VJ apps you use.

Thanks, I've got the files and installed them, but so far I've been unable to get it to work.
I suppose this is more of a problem with the VJ files, but I can't seem to get the radiooff to work. I have moved the binary to \Program Files so it's the same as your sample screenshot, but nothing happens, the radio remains on.
To debug, I created a .lnk file using Total Commander and added the /radiooff but that also does nothing.
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA Compact III in the UK, HTC Artemis (or is the Hero as it doesn't have Wifi?).

To get it to work, be sure to enable "Force Wakeup". The radio won't go off unless you enable this option. In addition, Vijay has a spelling error on his website, he listed the option "radioff", but in fact it should be radiooff (double 'o' in the middle) otherwise his app doesn't recognize the command.
Optionally, you can enable "Suspend when woken up", this will put the device back to sleep when command has been executed, and works nicely with Vijay's app, your device will only be active for a few seconds. I didn't document this feature: but when you have this option enabled, and the command is still executing after 30 seconds, RunEveryday times out, and will put the device to sleep (but lets the command active in background).
Hmmm, just realized what you really posted, if a loose lnk file doesn't work either, it probably is (indeed) VJ's file that doesn't work. maybe you can ask him if he can add support for your device.................................
Thanks for the prompt response.... but I've just worked out what the problem is!
I followed the screenshot on page 1 using /radioon when it should be -radioon
My .lnk files now seem to work, so I will make the changes on your app and see if it works.
I'd like to start doing my own development, I'm particularly interested in retrieving information from the radio like Operator, signal strength, serving cell etc.
Anyone any comments on usability / stability / issues ?
I would really like some feedback ;-)
I've only been using it a couple of days, but it hasn't given me any problems. The only issue I have is one that you are already aware of, and that's support of text input, or maybe copy/paste?
Hope that helps, and thanks again.
Okey, great. In the near future I'll update it to be more complient with windows-ways-of-working. (keyboard, normal dialog, copy/pasting etc), but as it's all working without problems, it's not very high priority. However, if there's any indication of some bugs somewhere, i would get right on it, cause I really do want it to be reliable.
Hi, have you managed to make any improvements to the software? My install has gone wrong, I launch RunEveryDay but the 2 tasks I had configured no longer list in the dropdown (these were to turn the phone/radio off at midnight and back on at 9am).
I did change the timezone recently when I went on a business trip, so maybe that caused the problem when I returned?
guys need help..
got one annoying problem bout my alarm... ive seem to disable all my alarms but the phone still recognizes my old settings.. how to explain this errr,,, well previously ive set the alarms at 6.00 am , 6.25 am and 6.30 am... after a short while the phone hangs so i soft reset it, then after that i've set the alarm to 7.00 am,7.25 and 7.30 am, (max 3 alarms can be set) but the prob is everyday the phone alarms set off at the 6++am time... even tho ive change them all to 7++AM and there is no way to disable them since only the 3, 7oclock alarms is avaible on the list...
so now i have a total of 6 alarms...
guys how to fix this without hard resetting,,,
TQ,
Do these 'phantom' alarms show up in your notifications queue?
You need something like Memmaid or Scarybear's Checknotifications to see these.
Look at the ones called calendar xxx or clock xxxx
Make sure from the descriptions that these are notifications you want to keep, if not delete them, also delete any duplicates.
DON'T delete any other notifications, these could be needed by the system to function correctly.
When I had similar alarm problems, I did this and found I had around 500 alarm/reminder notifications, some going way back, and some for May 2047!
When I got rid of these and the duplicates, it came down to around 40 and my alarms and reminders worked properly again.
Hope this works for you
ive downloaded Scarybear's Checknotifications but i do not know which to delete..zzz calender.exe or clock.exe?

I am more familiar with SKtools and Memmaid than Scarybear, but the ones to avoid deleting are any titled repllog. If Scarybear has a delete duplicates function then you should be safe to use that. Entries for alarms may have a title such as windows\clock.exe. In sktools I can click such entries and it tells me what alarm it is and when it's set to go off (not sure about Scarybear)
Good luck

PS Get a good Full backup programme like SPB Backup and then you would not need to worry about deleting the wrong thing.
When you first run the app, it marks all the duplicates in red, just press clear to get rid of those.
The ones to look at individually are the ones like:
Clock.exe - then scrolling to the right, these should have an entry under dialog title like "daily alarm" and then dialogue text like "Alarm: Wake up 10.30"
Make sure that all these are for alarms you want, delete the ones which aren't.
the others are:
Calendar.exe, in the dialogue title these say POOM xxxx and in the dialogue text, there is a description of the appointment you have set the reminders for.
You should be able to tell from these if any are in the past ie reminders you thought you had dismissed, or indeed from ridiculously in the future like 10 years time.
Delete the unwanted ones of these.
Also worth checking are Tasks.exe entries
Plus any other apps you have which can put alarms on the system eg some notes applications
Then use the exit button to exit checknotifications and see if this improves things.
The problem seems to arise (on my device) in 2 ways.
Firstly, in the past a reminder will have come up, and I think I dismissed it, or while I was dismissing it, something else happened on the system, incoming call, another alarm, crash, anything really, and somehow the dismiss instruction never seems to have 'taken'.
The other way is using Windows mobile live client. It seems to put notifications in every time you soft reset, so you can end up with a lot of WLM duplicates. It also seems to sync a whole load of old 'stuff' to the device, together with old notifications
If you find this helps, do consider getting Memmaid or SK Tools. I use Memmaid every day to clear junk out of my device. It's not free like checknotifications, but it does a whole lot more and has repaid the investment many times over (they do a free trial). SK Tools does even more, but is also I think easier to do something 'silly' on.
Also, the one thing I couldn't do without is a good backup program. I always take a series of backups. That way a hard reset needn't mean hours of re-installation. Usually about 20 minutes max.
all right..
I did as you said and i think it worked.
Thank you so much for helping.
No probs.
Remember, this isn't usually a 1 off problem. If it does fix things, keep an eye on that queue for a while and make sure things don't build up again.
I'm looking for software that will automatically reset my device every 30 minutes. It should postpone resets if device is active (screen on).
The software I've seen so far only schedules once daily. Pretty dumb. I tried ShutXP, but I can't figure out how to make that automatically reschedule the next reset ... anyone?
I can write up a script for ya... install mortscript while you wait, if you haven't already...
Love you! Awesome! I have Mortscript installed already.
ResetTimer v0.1b
Here we are...
xd1936's ResetTimer v0.1b
-scroll down below and try v0.2 please -
Features:
-Soft resets the device at any given interval
-Time may be adjusted in the registry...
Go to \\HKCU\Software\xd1936 and change the value, in seconds. The default is 1800 seconds, or 30 min
-Please soft-reset after installation
Just let me know if this proof-of-concept works... the whole screen-off thing hasn't been implemented
Let me know if anything is wrong with the software, or my math
It is beta software...
Enjoy!
So, I guess it's worth asking, but why do you need your device reset'ed so often? That's gonna do terrible things to battery life.
Error: Unknown funtion regreaddword
Line:
y=RegReadDWord("HKCU","Software/xd1936","waittime")
Seems Mort has permanently gotten rid of RegReadDWord in 4.1. I replaced with RegRead and it worked.
As for your question, no matter how I configure my device, I always end up with memory leaks and need to reset my device fairly regularly ... if not every 30 minutes, then every hour or two.
Cool, I think this'll work better... I can't test them currently, so bear with me
xd1936 ResetTimer v0.2b
you could try the freeware Oxios closeapps and Oxios hibernate to reclaim your memory instead of the soft reset, works pretty well for me. It's an executable not a schedule thing but should be easy enough to script something in mortscript or skschema. I just run it manually every so often.
So is it working? What's the story?
