O, no... not again. Calendar not warning any more ( solved!)

I had this problem discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30295
So I installed today the new I-mate rom without problems.
As software I use
-Listpro (Ewallet from them I did not install as it was suspect)
-Pbreeze with pocket weather
-SPB GPRS monitor
Now what did I do, not standard, and that may be the reason:
As I wanted to use my own sounds for the calendar...
1. I dragged two soundfiles to the windows folder itselve because I found there also the other sound and warning files.
2. I told Sound and notifications to let Reminder use one of those two files to use as its sound.
(Is that where it could have been started?.. a bug in the sounds manager?)
3. I programmed a calendar appointment to test the sound.
4 It worked, but after a soft reset I got the calendar warning back with sound and pop up. Only once. After a new soft reset it did not come back.
5.From now on the calendar gives no more warning, also no screen text.
I only have 4 dups in the notification Queue.
When I had this problem before the ROM upgrade I did about the same.

Edited: So a question from me is: Are there any people that changed the standard sound in a private one, without calendar problems?

I solved it!
I think, at least.
I deleted three calendar.EXE entries in my Notification queue, and it starts working again. That means my calendar alarms are being heard and shown.
So I am close in believing it was the soft resetting that caused the problems twice. It disturbs the notification queue anyway by adding dups.
On the other hand: There must be more people doing soft resets frequently, and I seem to be the only one having problems.

Reminders in Calendar /Tasks stopped working

on my XDA Exec (O2 ROM 1.30.162 WWE for last 2 months) these stopped working about 2wks ago....
Yes, in settings>personal>sounds and notification I have set for playing sounds etc etc etc...and yes, I set reminder when creating new appointments /tasks...
So...any idea why no longer working?????

It's a known "feature" of this OS. Use search for this problem with suggested solutions. None of these solutions worked for me (on my T-Mobile USA MDA).
I had to Hard Reset to get my notifications back. But I lost them again within 2 weeks. I will hard reset again whenever I get some free time.

When I ran into this same problem I also tried a couple solutions, MemMaid didn't work for me and I screwed up my device (lost the ability to ActiveSync) when I ignorantly deleted all sorts of stuff using the Scarey Bear Check Notifications tool. What did work for me was the trial version of SKTools, it has a delete duplicate notifications type tool. If the problem shows up again I'll just purchase SKTools.

I was the same problem a fem weeks ago, and my solutions was program Check Notifications. When I dowloaded this program a readed only about support for WM2003SE, but work on WM05 well.
I deleted automaticky every bad notifications in first time, but nothings happened a and my Qtek was still NO-SOUNDS :-(
I tried delete every RED notifications in check list, and I deleted every old notifications in this list in second time. I was delete this manually! After soft reset my QTEK 'again start talking '
here you have cab file for tring my solution

Click to expand...

Great..........worked for me - I just deleted the red reminders twice (for some reason) and it started working again. Must be a corrupt remider or something.
Thanks for the pointers

Just some additional info for future reference.. I downloaded the CheckNotifications.CAB file (thanks for posting!) and removed all duplicates.. but still no reminders..
Eventually, I did the following, and I don't what fixed it but it may help others!
* Using CheckNotifications, deleted all duplicates
* Using CheckNotifications, deleted all references using Calendar.EXE
* Soft Reset
* Deleted Duplicates (again!)
Sync'd via ActiveSync, then whilst connected did the following:
* Removed ALL Calendar entries for the current month
* Entered a test notification
* Waited for the Notify to fire...
Success.
I think it was something to do with corrupt Calendar entry or some sort in my case; either way using the above fixed it for me, so may help someone else reading this in the future. (probably me, when it goes wrong 6 months down the line..!!)

Alarm No Sound

Hi Guys,
When I set the alarm clock at any given time, the alarm message appears but there is no sound? Anybody encountered the same?
Cheers

Yes I ve got no more alert and no more message. Help will be very welcomed. Thx

settings=>personal=>sound&notifications
check settings.
otherwise, hard reset will help you.

Check Notifications Program
Check out
http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html
for the Scary Bear's software utility that eliminates repeated reminders due to soft resets and other Windows problems. It deletes the problems in red and it usually works for me to help with the reminders and alarm problems.
It says it works for 2003 but I use it on my Atom and it seems to work fine.
I hope this helps!

Thanks Pelicantacos for the tip.will try it
cheers

Phantom Alarm Issue

I'm having a phantom alarm issue. I have an alarm that goes off at 03:02 every day, it's driving me nuts!
Yes, I looked in all the obvious places, no alarms are set for that time anywhere.
I think SpbBackup is the culprit since this is the time I had auto back-up scheduled. Thing is, SpbBackup is no longer installed and all traces of it are gone!
Help... pls... I don't want to hard reset.

Check Notifications Software
Check out this webpage, http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/cn_overview.html
Download the file, put on your PDA and see if this helps. It has helped me in the past when I've gotten these phantom alarms. It says it only works for WM2003, but I've used it on WM5 and it seems to work fine--though use at your own risk.
I hope this helps!!

calendar reminder

dear friends, i have had this problem previously on other winmobile devices and now on the THD. simply & suddenly i stop getting reminders for my calendar appointments, even though they still do appear on my today screen( i use the windows mobile standard today screen). no change in my notification or sounds settings, and despite a softreset. on my old phone imate ultimate 6150, this problem used to disappear after syncing with outlook on my pc, and this time it worked too. but honestly it's beyond me why this happens. yes the problem has been solved, but until one realises what has happened u could miss out on an important appointment. thanks

any ideas?

memaid and sktools have options to rebuild the notifications queue.
Alternatively, search here on notifications - the problem sounds like this queue/list is corrupt.
I had similar problems and the memaid solved it fine.

Well I've just read inanother zforumsomewhere and it works.
Change the time on your today screen, to the visiting time. Accept all changes
Then set it back to home time, and accept all changes.
Viola! the reminder starts working fine again.
But, after a day or two, things are back to where they began. So you wil need a reminder to remind you to do this procedure once in a while
