Hi!
Does anyone know of a better Alarm software for Pocket PC?
I don really like the default one, and I dont think there is any "nice" sounds to use for waking up!
PLease help.
the only thing you can do is add some "nice" alarm sounds to the windows directory on the phone, I called mine alarm 5 etc..
got some nice loud ones
not a great alarm app, but it does help to wake you up..

Can I use any file or does it have to be wav or something? And then just rename it "Alarm"?
any wav file will do
Does your alarm function work properly? I've only used it once (for the first time) when I was in a hotel last week. The alarm didn't sound at the time I had set. When I woke up and pressed the on/off button of my XDA II the alarm went off!
Anyone else encounter this problem? Is there something I've missed when setting the alarm?
searched and found this

Hi
Ive experienced the exact same problem. That's why i dont trust it, and i want other software...
Alarm!
I use SPB Time, works GREAT. Had two alarms set for every weekday and during the trial period it always worked flawlessly.
That and I had sent some improvement suggestions to SPB, and the product manager actually responded!
For the 10 bucks, I say it's worth it.
I use AlarmX by MTUX (it has two alarms with nice sounds).
It works fine. The only thing is that you must activate it before you go to sleep, because if not it doesn't wake up.

I search for an alarm program, that automatically sets the volume to maximum. My problem is when I left to take the volume up in the evening, I can't hear the alarm sound at the morning..

AlarmX by MTUX do this. It is indipendent of your system volume.

You could try PocketZenPhone, which will allow you to create profiles that will switch the volume to your required levels at your required times.
I have mine set to switch the ppc volume to silent, and phone volume to silent at 11:15pm then switch back to loud for ppc and loud for phone at 6:15am.
Works like a charm.
Cheerio

Thank you for the tips!
I will check them...
Another solution to alarm problem
I was also having problems with my alarms, read somewhere that unwanted entries in start up could affect this & slow your machine down too, Hope that helps....
Download this freeware (both of them), install them and run them.

I installed this freeware which seems to have (a) cleared a lot of unwanted dross (sometimes 400+!!!!) & (b) sorted out my alarm problem
Someone recommended this excellent and useful 'pocket Alarm' utility when I was still using my XDA I, Burr Oak have now upgraded it and it better than ever!
Try it free here :- http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta2.html (costs $12-ish if you like it enough to register it)
I am using Alarme version 3.06. Get it at http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...11201§ionId=0&catalog=30&txtSearch=alarme
I am using it for more than a year, it wakes me up everyday, you can choose any wav file as your alarm.
Its volume control doesn't care about your device volume. Even if you left the device muted before you went to sleep, it will ring loud and clear.
Hey the ****y alarm sucks on our tmobile mda (us) and they dont play mp3s sorry for posting for help altho i have already looked and checked the ftp but i didnt know where to look or what its called. so can anyone direct me to the app? or a registry hack to get mp3 suport on the stock alarm? thanks in advance and i really like the site its very nice. good to see so much support
i use ptravelalarm for that.nice UI and can play mp3 file. i have to change the alarm sound every now and then before my ears get used to the sound and ignore it
or else, you might want to try pocketalarm. both application cost you some penny though
isnt there any freeware for an alarm
http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/wolfclock.shtml
this program is an alarm that can use mp3's
but it is kinda ugly and bulky... i removed it shortly after installing it, but your taste might be different than mine.
if you manage to find something else, post it here cus i too would like an alarm that plays mp3s
Try Mortplayer. While it is a music player, it has a simple alarm on it that can made for daily, weekday, or each day use. It doesn't have multiple alarms for the days of the week, but like I said, it's alarm system is simple.
Curious D, I have mortplayer but does the app need to be open in order for the alarm to go off? Or can I close it?

Here is another that i just found, it is in french, but once you figure it out, it works well

Can close. I have my phone on standby with the volume off and it will go off on time with the volume turned back on. It will not turn on the volume for the phone, just the system volume. You can set the volume level for the alarm too by setting the preamp and volume on start up.
damn im having no luck here. i used to have an MPX220 that i had to hack the registry (add a few lines) for MP3 support for the alarm sound, but i figured my MDA would already come prepared for it

Here's a free reliable mobile alarm app that plays any MP3 you choose. I've had this app on my 8125 for over a year, and it's always been dependable, even if you soft reset before the app takes effect. This can be stored anywhere you like...just read the read me file for instructions.
This morning at exactly 3am my mogul played two sounds from the game drug wars. I had no alarm set, no apps were running, i also had no reminders at that time. So i hear the two sounds, i get out of bed to look at the phone and nothing strange was apparent on the phone. No screen dialog, nothing. Even my wife heard and and wondered what it was (so i wasn't dreaming). I am running the no2chem 5060 kitchen. Been doing so since it was released. I have never experienced anything like this before. any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

I wish the answer was that simple. lol Actually i don't have the game on my phone, i only have the sounds from it. I have this huge sounds folder with a ton of wav files and it just happened to play two from that game. Very strange.
JD
Use an app like Pocket Mechanic to view the notification queue for any events at 3am and you can delete them from the app.
hi guys
I ve a bit of an odd problem. As I noticed this morning my Xperia doesnt do certain sounds anymore. One of these sounds is for example the alarm! So on the screen it will say: alarm 8am bla bla but it wont make sound to it. Same with Sms tones! It just stays quiet. Anybody an idea why this is? I use the blackstone volume control and when I click on "system" I set the sound bar all the way up and it makes sounds accordingly. It just seems to be the SMS and the alarm that stay silent.
Any ideas? where could I normally change sms tones? Maybe I can chane something in there
thanks for your help
amano
have you done a soft reset?
my x1 does exactly the same. i've set alerts and ringtones but the sounds keep changing back to ones that i haven't selected. very odd.
if i go into settings / sounds / notifications, play an alert and then ok these, the settings seem to "stick" for a while.
i haven't quite figured out what's causing this ...
did u guys installed voice command? if yes you probably got a bug there

i didn't ... :-(
hey,
thought i'd let you know that i managed to fix my issues by converting my tones from wavs to wma files. apparently there's an issue with winmo 6.1 and alert tones as wavs.
yay !
I am looking for some new ringtones and notification alert tones. There was a game called Fable, and it had some sounds in it that I think would make pretty nice notification sounds. Problem is, I can't seem to find anything that I could do this with. I figured there would be a sound board for it, but I have been unable to find one. I also looked around for a while on Google hoping to find just some sounds from the game, but again, no luck. So, I was wondering if anyone has these sounds or even an Android sound board for it. Also, any other nice ring tones or alerts anyone knows of I would be up for trying. Thanks!
Hi! Go to market and dl this app called Zedge. Under Zedge, do a search on Fable, theres a few of the tracks of the game you are talking abt
Thanks a lot! Checking it out now. Hoping I can find the specific one I was looking for.
Blah, didn't find the one I was after. Thanks for the app info though, looks pretty handy either way.
