I have WM6 and i have an alarm call called "earlies" which, when selected, should wake me up at 06:00. It's not selected at the moment and yet it is still going off each morning at 06:00. i am assuming there is a reg setting that i can manually disable this?
help me please.

I have a strange issue with Alarm/Notifications in WM5
I had set an alarm using the built-in clock/alram app. Normally when the alarm rinds, there's a dismiss option in the soft buttons in WM5. This is how it has been working for a while.
Strangely, two days ago, the alarm rang but there was no dismiss option... there was no way for me to snooze or dismiss the alarm. I muted my phone and after a while un-muted it and the alarm was gone. Then i went to the alarm app and disabled the alarm.
The same day, i set up an appointment in calendar. When the appointment nitification came on, the sound was played but again, the dismiss option was nowhere to be seen. I couldnt snooze this alarm either.
Now this is one issue, the main annoying issue is that whenever i soft-reset my phone, these two ghost alarms (the original alarm which does not exist anymore, AND the notification for that entry in my calendar which i couldnt snooze, because the option was not displayed) they start sounding as my phone is half way rebooting... And there's nothing i can do to dismis or snooze them.
Any idea? any help will be appreciated. thanks!
I have exactly the same problem. I have set an alarm using the built in Clock & Alarm app in WM5 and could not dismiss it when it came up. Since then, whenever I do a soft reset, the alarm starts up while the device is booting. The annoying part is that it was set to repeating alarm and that's exactly what it does after each soft reset. It repeats less and less frequently and eventually it doesn't repeat any more, but there is nothing I can do to turn it off. I have tried resetting all the options in the Clock & Alarm app but still no luck. I have tried removing the Alarm events in the Notification queue, but they keep coming back after each soft reset.
Has anyone experienced this before, and found a solution to it?
BTW I'm using i-mate JASJAR, but this post describes exactly my symptoms.
I've done some further investigation, and I found a couple of entries in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Shell\Reminders\ that match the description and time I have set up originally for the alarms that keep sounding after every soft reset.
I have tried deleting the entries in the Registry, but after another soft reset, the entries are back! How can I get rid of these for good?
It looks like I've solved the problem...
1. I have deleted the entries from the Registry using Resco Registry Editor that matched the Alarm descriptions that I originally set for the alarms that later kept coming back...
AND
2. I have deleted the clock.exe notifications from the list using Check Notifications from ScaryBear Software.
Once I rebooted, the notifications didn't reappear, the registry entries didn't come back, and most importantly, the ghost alarms didn't go off again!
I have tried both 1 and 2 above before individually between resets, but not both together. When I only did one or the other, both the notifications entries and the registry entries came back after the reset, causing the ghost alarm to keep running after each reset.
I hope this will help anyone else who gets into the same situation.
Thank you very much!
It worked, the alarm was driving me nuts!
my problem is, that alarms are silent. wizard is actually waking up, alarm's message and time is showing, vibra is working but... no sound at all. it used to work ok, i didn't change anything in settings. only thing is, that i've installed check notifications few days ago and removed duplicate clock.exe notifications - maybe that's the reason? but on the other hand - calendar reminders are working just fine, with sounds.
anyone had such problem and solved it without hard-resetting device?
I have a dilemma that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
I use my Wizard as my daily alarm clock, but don't want to be prematurely awakened by calls or emails. Right now, my only option is to turn on flight mode, but I need to see if I missed any calls while I was asleep. So I need to keep system sounds on, but turn off notification of messages and calls.
Anybody know of a way to set this up or know of some software that would help?
I was wondering the same thing myself, and I found nothing of help. Looks like the Wizards are really not good as alarm clocks - for the reason you are talking about, but also because alarms are so unreliable.
I cant soeak to the reliability of teh alarms, but you could get something like PocketZenPhone. That way you could have a profile with the ringer shut off but whatever notifications you want notifications left on. You could also set it to switch to this profile at a set time so you won't have to remember to do it.
I just downlaoded teh 30 day trial and it see,s to be working well with a small footprint.
turn off phone
I worked round this by turning off the phone in comm manager but leaving the sound enabled - you get the alarm as required but you're not disturbed by incoming txt/email/calls.

It is not free but I use a really cool utility from Pocketmax that lets you set all kinds of profiles so that you can have the phoen ring but no e-mail sounds or whatever you want. You can also set it to change when you plug it in, or on a schedule. Pretty neat.
PPCProfilesPro
One that is free, and does as above-mentioned programs, is MoDaCo's PPCProfilesPro.

Requires registration to the website to download, but well worth it. I found it yesterday while searching for exactly the same thing.
isn't there a silent wav file that you can use as the tones for messages and calls when you sleep?
I set all my sms/mms/notifications to nothing but "Display message on screen" because I'm using phonealarm which handles all the vibrating/alarms but every time I SR my device the settings go back to default, the only thing that stays is my Incoming Call setting. Does anybody else have this? Anyone know where the settings are in the registry? Maybe i can do an import on startup. I know that some settings are in HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds but these seem to be just for the ringing sounds and not the notification settings.
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
