Calendar gives no reminders on Jasjar

Hello,
I am new on Windows Mobile, coming from Nokia 9500, so I feel a little bit stupid, because maybe I did something wrong.
So when I set a reminder in the calendar I hear nothing any more, neither a notification... abslutely nothing.
The reminders on Outlook on the PC just work normally on the same appointments.
Settings:
[email protected]:
Events : on ---- Programs + Notifications : on
Screen taps and hardware buttons :| off
Tab notifications, Event: reminders: Plays sound : on Alarm1
Dislplay message on screen and flashlight both are on
I did a soft reset, and I played a little bit with different sounds when the problem seemed to have begun.
When the PC however does the alarm it nicely switches the alarm off in the Jasjar.
My phone is quite useless without a calendar warning.

My Jasjar becomes quite useless without an agenda that warns
Nobody has a clue?
I can set the agenda but nothing happens. The time just passes but no warnings whatsoever.

Oh hell, sounds like the alarm bug may be making an appearance on WM5...that would be DISASTEROUS.
Do this for us; download trial version of Pocket Mechanic (www.antontomov.com) and go to the notifications queue module. Click the button marked "Dup" or "duplicates" and tell us if it found any dups, and if so what they are (they will be tagged and yellow).
Just in case it's a stupidly simple thing, check the following;
- Can u play the alarm1.wav file from file explorer?
- Are you DEFINITELY setting a reminder for each agenda entry
- Is this reminder set to go 0 minutes before (ie don;t set a reminder for 5 mins time with an alarm for 30 mins before)
- settings>sounds&notifications>alarms>ticked
- Volume not 0: turn volume to 0 then back up again

I may do the antontomov later.
yes I can play alarm1.wav from file explorer.
OK: appointment duration from 16:00 till 16:05
alarm ( " reminder" it is called) 5 minutes before..
at the settings I ticked the Reminder event on play sound and repeat.
I do not see a volume option however.
I see options for flash light ( did never work) and vibration ( the same) I have the feeling it is not so much a sound problem as a problem that nothing is triggered when the moment is there.

Calendar Reminders confusing!!
I find this calendar thing pretty confusing too. I came to the conclusion that the reminder comes in the form of an on-screen notification and not an alarm, which seems pretty stupid, as you don't want to keep pulling your phone out to see if you have any appointments! :?
I hope I'm wrong, but could someone more knowledgeable in this area please clarify how to get an audible reminder in conjunction with an on-screen one please. And for the record, I know how to set a basic alarm, I just need to be reminded by sound or vibration of my appointments, else I can't get the true benefits of a personal digital assistant!

Wont modifying the "Reminders" settings in the notification tab of "Sounds and Notifications" do it for you???

I am sure it gave me an audible alarm before I ran into problems. Of course the agenda can warn you if working properly; also with a flash light even(!) or vibrato.

Well to be honest.... I have managed to get sound working on it before...I just can't remember what I did! :lol:
Please, if anyone has the time please explain how I get an alarm to ring in conjunction with the on-screen reminder. For example, when I go go into the calendar app and see the time slots for any given date, I assumed you could simply enter what you wanted reminding of, in that particular timeslot, and then choose to be reminded every 2 hours or something!!??!! I'm a bit perplexed by this. My SE700i worked in this fashion and I never got to grips with the PPC way of doing this. The bloody manual doesn't explain this either!

You're absolutely right about how to set the reminder, but the type of reminder (sound, message, vibrate) is set in Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Change Event to "Reminders" and see what the settings are? Give it a go, I'm sure you must have "Display message on screen" ticked and "Play sound" unticked?

Thanks for thinking about my problem but I checked those settings out very prcisely.
I have ticked: play sound and repeat. I also have the display message ticked. I Use Alarm1 to keep it simple.
It is however possible that here is where the problem started.
Other problem, maybe related, is, that the phone ringtone sound can sometimes change in the last installed personal ringtone.
I changed it back of course.
I have a lot of people given a ringtone with their name in it, to take away the need of opening to see who is calling.
instead of a sound I record : this is John etc etc. But of course not new to your guys.
Works great, but sometimes my phone ring changes in e.g. " peter calling" as main ring tone.
But in the calendar case there is not even a reminder on the screen. The phone is just no triggering at all.

Nope all are checked! I'll look into it more seriously later today and post my findings back here. Thanks for your help. :lol: :x :? 8)

SOunds like hard-reset time dudes!
Just in case you think it's a missing feature that you have to live with, it's not: the calendar DOES alarm for every reminder, provided you set that. You get an on-screen notification and sound - depending on your settings. Further, this can be defaulted so that every new appointment does this without you having to think about it. Exactly the same as all previous PPC devices.

I had the same problem.
Hard reset is the only solution...
Be carefull what s/w you install on Jasjar!

This will be my first reset in Windows world ever.
Any tips and hints what to take care of before pushing the button?
I come from Nokia 9200 and up and there was a great backup facility before you hard reset.
As backup software is not available: Any tips and hints on what to write down before I do it?
I also saw that Windows may come with separate upgrade software.

The only s/w i had was the ewallet.
Get rid of it and reset. Now try if it works.

You meant soft reset or hard reset?
I presume hard reset, because after several soft resets without ewallet I still have the problem.

See 'Help' application for Reminders in Calendar!!
Stupid me! There's an in depth guide on hoe to use the calendar with Reminders in the 'Help' application on the Jasjar. Too many options for my liking, just confusing matters. basically, alot of the options are for syncing purposes and if no else has access to your PC, it really won't matter wether you set-up categories or not, unless you need your contacts etc grouped.
Bottom line, buy an easier to use application.

Alarm bug? What's that?
Some time ago I installed and played a NES emulator on my xda for a few hours wearing the headset, and after that two things happened; Sound didn't work, it got permanently stuck on headset mode (I fixed that) and 2), the clock disappeared from the upper menu bar, never to return. Alarms didn't work (at all) from that point either. Prior to this it had worked 90% of the time, with some mysterious exceptions that I think maybe your "alarm bug" could explain.

how to disable screen turning off during calls?

Can you help me?
I have tried " Duttys Disable Sleep in Call " but it doesn't work.
I have also tried to modify:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall=0
and:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone
Sleep=0
nothing to be done: it keeps on not working!
do you have some suggestion?
I apologize me for mine bad English and I in advance thank you

Hello, personally I didn't try to solve this as I do like the behavior as it is. But this topic was discussed here in Jade (same chipset and TF2D) forums and here is some tip too.
All registry hacks & Advanced Config tricks for keeping the screen on while a call is in progress do not apply to the Jade/3G.
However, there is a solution to overcome this annoying feature:
install Touch InCall Screen Tweak, and set the options "Ignore first screen off" and "Always On" in the options.

It looks like there is no confirmed solution for our devices yet though. (I know I didn't help too much this way.)

koilos: Why do you want to do that? I think, that disabling screen while calling is quite good feature, because I don't want to perform some operations with my ear . And if you want to do some operations, you can always short press power button to enable it.
Anyway, there are some interesting options, you can play with on your own risk, like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL -> BatteryTimeoutInCall (default: 5)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL -> BatteryTimeoutSuspendInCall (default: 5)
I didn't look at that, because I didn't have time now. Number should be time in seconds (my device's display goes black 5 seconds after call connects). Maybe it will need restart after change. Maybe it will do something else.

I have tried to modify the keys that you have recommended me ( planned value 60 ) , the display keeps on going off after 5 seconds.
I have obviously effected the soft reset.
Thanks however for the kind answer, if I had to find the solution it will be' my care to post it

HD2 and vibration / sound on text message

Dear forum,
I am new to this forum. May I ask:
My new HTC HD2 does not vibrate or sound on text messages, despite all my efforts in the settings. Help?
Thank you.
David

Hey raveh,
I you scroll all the way to the settings tab, select "sound and diplay" (sorry i'm translatin from my french rom, so use your imagination if the terms are not exactly the same), then "notification sound", select one of the items (eg: text message), you'll see on top of the page a "scroller" Vibrate [Deactivated------Activated------Only]. You just have to select whichever one you want in every section of the settings.
Hope that helped
Cheers

too easy to solve this
Thank you, but this is the obvious, and it does not help at all.
I was even asked to go to setting, press menu, go to all settings, and from there to do it - it did not help either.
The HD2 sounds and vibrates to phone calls, but does not sound or vibrate to text messages. Any idea why?
Sincerely, David.

Hi Raveh, is your problem sounds and vibrates solved? I have similar problem on vibration.
Thank You.

vibration and sounds of text messages
Thank you for the interest.
What I found so far is interesting and goes like this:
When people buy this HD2 (a wonderful device, I think) the Hebrew speakers try to install a free Hebrew program. It works well but not perfectly. However, it stops the vibrations and sounds of the text messages. I did hard reset, the Hebrew was deleted, and the HD2 returned to vibrate and sound to text messages. Chats in Hebrew revealed this problem. Maybe other downloads do it as well, not only Hebrew, and probably not intentionally. One person posted a solution: he showed to go to the registry, and to change a numeric parameter (something like "1033" in the MUI folder there. I am not professional enough to do it. I will have to ask help from the real pros. If you do it, let me know here or write to [email protected].
Good day and best wishes, whereever and whoever you are.

Hi Thank for sharing. I do a factory reset and hard reset. But to no avail. Had try to search every forum, but still can't find any answers. I will bring it to htc service centre soon. Thank again.

I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
You can also try with Sound Manager or something like that and change the settings that you can't change on the options that came with the device
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull

[Q] Intensity of ringtone of an incoming cal automatically weakened

Hi,
I encountered a problem the intensity of ringtone of an incoming call automatically weakened after the first ring.
Is there a fix for that?
Thanks.
My phone data
Rom ver :1.07.401.1 WWE
Rom date :21/03/2010
OS ver : 5.2.23103

Hi, I think it's the "pocket mode". If you lift the phone, the ringtone weakens automatically.
If so, to disable go to Settings, Tones and Display (3rd menu voice) and find the "pocket mode".
Ciao
p.s. There is also a rom update ("Update for HTC HD mini Ringtone clarity enhancement"): http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=314&act=sd&cat=all

Hi Ciao,
Unfortunately this is not the case my phone setting is :
Ring type:RING
Quiet ring on pickup: OFF
Pocket mode: OFF
Does "Update for HTC HD mini Ringtone clarity enhancement" will fix this issue for sure ?
Thanks

Thanks anyway for you replay.
I hope some one fixed that.
Anyone got it too ??

I have a suggestion...
I am assuming you are talking about going in htc sense settings tab.
Try also going to the sense settings tab -> More -> Personal -> Phone
At the advanced tab of this menu there is also a box to tick off if you want to disable soft ringtone at pickup.... Perhaps this one is still ticked on....
Maybe this helps...
Goodluck!!

Thanks JHTCHD but this is not the case.
I found that when the phone setting is:
Menu > Settings> Wireless controls > phone > band set to “Auto” - The problem did not appears.
Menu > Settings> Wireless controls > phone > band set to “GSM” - The problem appear.
Is there a way for the phone band to be on “GSM” mode and not have this problem?

[Q] lock screen while calling, where to get rid of?

Hi folks,
i have got a Leo with Energy ROM with Advanced Config pp, BsB tweak, CHT Editor, and too many other candies.
:-(
Now i have the got option "lock Screen while calling" active (that means: during a call, I cannot use any function like hands-free, keypad, mute...). Elsewhere the touchscreen works like a charm.
I don't know where to get rid of that option (whitout a hard reset).
Can somebody help, me to find out where to change it back to normal?
Thank you
RIN67630

Finally, since nobody replied, i hard resetted my device. It took me longer to get it back the way I like it, but i can set hands-free again.
It would be nice if someone knows where the settings to disable the touchpad in-call are, to place a short explanation.
Thank you.
RIN67630

there's a small chance it wasn't the "lock while calling" option that caused it. but the "tap time" modification.
in some ROMs, increasing tap time makes the call screen not register any touch input, resetting tap time to 0 solves this.
