Hi Guys,
Has anyone else had this problem with the built-int alarm clock?
Sometimes it wakes the device up, displays the notification, flashes the led but does not play the sound!
I set the alarm to play sound, repeat, flash light.
It's a big problem for me, as I use my phone as my alarm clock!
I need to wake up!
same here, I have been trying to figure it out
x3, my alarm doesn't always wake up the device and play the sound. Sometimes it waits until I interact with the device until sounding the alarm.
I wonder if this has something to do with a recent discovery I made...
If you use SKTools and go to view the Notification queue, you will see MANY duplicate entries for WLMScheduler.
I just deleted 142 entries today!!
Basically it has 3 different event entries, but they get created again everytime WLMService starts, even if they already exist.
This pollution probably slows down the system significantly. Must be a coding oversight, as WLMService doesn't check if the events already exist.
So basically, everytime you restart your Touch you add 3 duplicate events to the Notifications queue!
This is something that shouldn't be happening, as the only way to solve the problem is to manually delete them with SKTools.
I will report the results now that I cleared all this garbage....
look up wakeup tweak or pocket alarm thweak. they eliminate these entries. i used wakeup tweak on my old ppc and 6600 and it worked. i'm testing it now on the touch.
Any updates on this? My alarm won't sound off if it's in sleep mode. I like to use my phone as an alarm for everything (including waking up) and just started reading about this problem. Anyone find a resolution?

I did do a quick search, but couldn't find owt, but can't believe I'm the only person with problem.
I use the supplied Clock & Alarms for my alarm clock, but sometimes if I'm using something else on the phone, or already have notifications like missed calls when my alarm is due to go off, if will still sound, and vibrate, but won't come up with a message about it. Giving me no option to turn the thing off!!!
So it will go off fow a minute or two, then go quiet, then every five minutes will repeat, again with no message.
Even if I reset the device it will still continue.... I either have to wait for a message to come up, which can take 30+minutes, or if I get really annoyed with it clean reset it :-/
If anyone does know how I can get rid of this error, or what file I can load to give me the message, it will be much appreciated!!!
alarms and repeating alarms are well known to be highly unreliable.
spb pocket plus has an add in to assist with repeating alarms, but I never found it much help.
may i suggest you dont repeat them, this is a big problem.
mine got so bad after a while I had no choice but hard reset. it messed up all the system notifications and just became plain unreliable.
Yes, I've had exactly the same problems and also with Spb Pocket Plus repeating alarms too.
I've since disabled this option which has made things bettr but still not perfect

at least your alarm goes off, mine does not. an expensive device like the xda exec and a simple thing like the alarm wont work after new o2 rom update
:? :?
Does that mean if I use alarms, but don't select "repeat sound", that may be better?
I upgraded to the i-Mate ROM, and TWICE now the notification queue has died for the calupd.exe and calnot.exe. Adding appointments with alarms make no additions to the notification queue, hence I miss all my alarms.
The only fix so far has been to hard reset, and wait for the next time the notification queue dies.
Are you using Sprite Backup?
I found it to be the culprit and I have switched to SBP Backup now.
Sprite CRMdesk will give you a patch "PostBootPopup.exe" if requested that helps the problem. It solves the many notifications in the queue that can't be cleared or dismissed normally. But the issue of not waking for any alarms remained for me with Sprite 5 - even with this patch.
works perfect for me!
I just added my own sound file which has a little more agressive waking properties ;-)
If you're stuck with an invisible alarm you cant get rid off, you can use scarybear's "check notifications" proggie and take out the notification which has messed up....

But be warned, if you are careful it can work, but I got aggressive and frustrated.
The only, hard reset. There are some you can, some you cant.
Bewarned.
Hi people,
For example, when I click the screen to shut it off, it only comes backs with a reminder ring but not the normal alarm ring to wake me up. I have slept in a few times because the snooze function does not work normally.
I want a program or info on how to get it where I can touch the screen and have it automatically alarm 10 minutes later without having to go in the menu and have a specific snooze time.
Thanks guys,
JW

Try AlarmX from MTUX.com. This has a nice interface and a snooze feature. Also the alarm sounds it has are very loud.
alarm/notification problem solution
This is caused by the sddaemon process that causes the notification queue to duplicate itself everytime the phone is turned off and back on. The program smartskey addresses this problem by going to the ini file in it you can enable sddaemon to 1 that fixes this problem, then use a program like notification clear to clear out the old duplicates.
I was setting the alarm on my herm using the Clock & alarms application that came with windows mobile. i set the alarm time (810am) and checked off the box to enable then i clicked OK and my phone froze i restarted it and i saw that it didnt save my alarm... so i set another alarm... well now I get that (810am ) alarm without setting it and i cant stop it because it doesnt show that anything is set... can anyone help? maybe there is registry i have to edit or delete something.
thanks
Try to run this program and see if it helps (backup first)
My alarm is messed up too!
Sometimes it goes off like 5-7 times, at a time and leaves me with 7 notifications.
Sounds pretty strange too having it try to play the alarm 7 times at the same time.
Will have to see if that program can do anything for that too!
EDIT:
Wow, it found 335 duplicate notifications. Hope fixing them solves the problem!
I'll be happy to hear if it helped you
hello.my problem is:i set in "Notification Sounds" ringtone for "reminder".now when i set "alarm" on "on" ,so when after alarm ringing,so playing two ringtones together.them which i set on "reminder" and "alarm".everyone similar problem?thanx and sorry for my very very bad english
no one hasn't this problem?when ringing sound in alarm,playing melodies which i set in alarm and playing melodie which i set in reminder together crisscross
I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but I am having an issue which I have only just noticed this morning.
I set my alarms for work and I always use the snooze sound which wakes me up the best. This morning no snooze sound. When I tested the alarm I realised it was using the reminder sound which was set to a quiet alert sound. Changing the reminder sound in the settings also changes the alarm sound.
IS this what you mean?
So, I have similar problem regarding reminder but not the same.
I think it has a serious bug, and our problems connect somehow in the background.
1.) In some cases (I can not define the rule) there is only reminder sound, not alarm. It is absolutely strange because it is not loud enough to wake me up.
2.) First I have set up 3 schedules: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 without description text.
After I have modified them to 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, and I have given names for they.
What happens? The reminder sounds 5 (!) times, at all of the above schedules, even at 5:30 2 times! It is really strange.
Of course, probably it can be cleaned based on the registry, but this is very dangerous. What will happen after the next modification?
Any idea to fix it?
richardirv:yes,this is it.when ringing alarm,leo playing two songs together.for alarm and for reminder...
Double sound in reminders & alarms
Yes you are right.
This has been present for a long time with WM6.5 and HTC Sense/Manila.
I am guessing it is because 2 systems are operating.
A workaround I use is to assign an unobtrusive sound to reminders in WM sounds & notifications, like alarm-high frequency and a different alarm sound.
I don't think there is a fix for this.

Reminder notifications: SOUND without VIBRATION not possible
Hi, I got excatly the same problem, two sound when the clock alarm is activated. I can stand with this... but today I have found even worse problem and I am totally disapointed this htc software...
So, when I setup calendar apointment, and create "Reminder notification" for this lets say 5 minutes before event, then of course I get a pop-up with: "delay" or "cancel" the event. But the problem is with SOUND and VIBRATION for this reminder event. Namely, I can not force the phone to make a "Reminder notification" sound ONLY, without vibration. When I go to: settings, sound and screen, reminder sounds, I can turn on switch for reminders. This is OK, then click on reminders to go in and here a problem: VIBRATION: OFF, ON, ONLY. When set up to OFF and confirm, the main switch for reminders is changed to OFF! So no sounds for reminders at all!!! When I switch it on again and go into reminders settings, and choose VIBRATION ON and confirm and go back, main switch stays on but this means that the only configuration which works is to have reminder events with VIBRATION AND SOUND... totally crap
can anybody investigate? Thanks in advance.
Reminder issue
Hi I'm also having an issue with the alarm function.
On Monday I set alarms for 5:00, 5:15 & 5:30 (just in case I get lazy and sleep in)
On Monday night I turn them off, but they still sound on Tuesday????
I spoke to HTC and they said I need to reflash the latest image, which is total rubbish and a common answer to every single problem you send them.
Is this the same issue?
Is there a fix?
my workaround is to only ever set/change settings for anything like alarms or reminders in the windows settings (settings menu all settings clocks and alarms or sounds and notifications)
using the manila pages (tap alarms on home page, or settings, sound and display) always screw things up.
it seems themanila pages arent correctly integrated, in that they don't correctly feed the settings back into the windows settings. also, they don't seem to use the same paths for sounds.
look at the available alarm sounds in manila alarms, and compare it to the available alarm sounds in windows clocks and alarms screen, and once you have set a sound for an alarm in winmob, have a look at the sound for that alarm in manila alarms.
i haven't seen this problem since i started only using win mo settings pages for setting alarms.
I am currently using HTC's default alarm app, but I'm finding the alarm tone won't repeat and it will only ring out once, for say 3-4 seconds, and none of the tones seem to be any longer.
This is an issue for a heavy sleeper like me as I can often sleep though this and I'm partial to the odd snooze so there might 3 or 4 chances for me to do this! .
Anyone found a way to keep the alarm ringing out (repeating) till I turn it off. I'm using Dutty's ROM so I I'm not sure whether this is just a quirk of his ROM or just a crap alarm from HTC.
Help or reccomendations of good alarm apps welcome!
its not the rom, its the crappy alarm from windows mobile.. really useless imo.
i use the app G-Alarm that works great
(link)
the main thing i have found since using 6.5.x build roms is that the repeat problem no longer occurs. It repeats until you stop it.
One suggestion i can offer is to forget about setting up the alarms through the htc alarms tab, do them direct into settings - menu - all settings - clocks and alarms.
you will find 1 - there are more alarm sounds available, (which tells me the HTC alarms tab isn't working exactly the same as the system one)
and
2 - the HTC alarms tab will copy what you put in the system alarms screen, BUT setting directly into the HTC alarms doesnt always copy through to the system alarms tab.
I also use G-alarm, its great. But here is a free one thats looks like G-alarm

I have "Alarm-Light" selected as my alarm tone, and the thing doesn't shut up until I've stopped it.
