No more notifications or reminders

I have an O2 xda Neo (PM300) running Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC.
All of a sudden I noticed I no longer receive notifications or reminders of appointments or tasks on my "today" page nor any audible sounds. Even though I have:
1. Enabled sounds for reminders in "sounds & Notifications"
2.checked the "display message on screen" and "play sound" boxes in the "notifications" submenu
3.Checked the "set reminders for new items" box in the "appointments" sub menu in "options" in "calendar" (and done the same for "tasks"
My clock is correct. I have soft reset the unit a few times, I have set sample appt's and tasks and attempted to set a reminder for 5 minutes prior just to test and still nothing...
It was working fine upto maybe a couple weeks ago and just stopped working one day. I am at a loss, as the sheduling/task/appoitntment aspect is the main reason for me going the pocket pc route.
Now, I have no advance warning of tasks or appt's other than the calendar displaying the next few or so the day of or day before.
Very frustrating!

Look for Check Notifications ScaryBear Software. This program might be you solution

I had the same problem this week.
In my case it was either the (failed) installation of pocket clock or pocket max phone alarm that did it.
I loaded a previous week's sprite back-up (program part only) and that fixed the problem. I have not tried to reinstall pocket max phone alarm.
Will not reinstall pocket clock because that did not work anyways.

I sync'd my data, did a hard memory reset, deleted that ActiveSync partnership,created a new partnership, sync'd all my data back onto my handheld and it seems to be working again!
Thanks for your suggestions!

I have exactly the same problem - but unfortunately cannot remember when it showed up the first time. I do not want to try a hard reset, also checking pocketmax seems that they only advise to do a lot of reinstallations. And I worry the problem will show up again later as I want to continue using phone alarm. I rather would like to change registry entries.
- Anybody has some idea what to change?
- I found an empty string value WAVEFILE in HKKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\calendar\reminder - can anybody tell me their value here
- same empty value is in HKKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tasks\reminder
Thanks Hase01

I had the exact same problem 2 weeks ago on my JAMin - suddenly noticed that I had not been receiving reminders/notifications.
I had not installed any new software, etc., to cause this, I had simply been using the PDA in the same manner as for the preceeding weeks/months.
Hase01, unfortunately the way I fixed it was with a hard reset. Why do you not want to try this? I found that once the reset had been done, it took all of 5-10 minutes to reload all the files and to reinstall the software I had previously been running. It's not that big a deal......

I am not a friend of hard resets, that's why I am hesitating. And I am not sure how far I have to go back, as I was in vacation for some time and only afterwards started missing the reminders.
Could you do me a favor and let me know your registry settings for
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Sounds
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Defaults
Do you use phone alarm?
Thanks in advance

Has anyone figured this out? I am having the same problem and removing Phone Alarm does not help. I do not want to do a hard reset and start over for this. Anyone?

Just download my Free Task Manager found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104
1) Launch it on your pocket pc
2) Select Notifications tab
3) First try to remove duplicates
4) Try to remove SCRIPT:0x000...
If it still doesn't work, select all of them and disable them.
Do a soft reset and create a new notification, if it works, I suggest you to enable only the necessary notifications, so those like:
CALENDAR.EXE
\Windows\calupd.exe
replog.exe
calnot.exe
clocknot.exe
and delete all [none] notifications
Cheers,
.Fred

Glad to hear that... Anyway, this is another solution that works.
One of my colleagues had the same problem, about 570 notifications. We tried first to remove duplicates and SCRIP:0x000 events, but the problem remained.
After the remove he still had more than 400 notifications. So I selected them all and disabled them via TM. After soft reset we created a test notification and it worked. So as I mentioned in my previous post, we enabled back the needed notifications and we removed the rest. Now everything is fine.
I have noticed that most of the time, this problem appears when you synchronize your calendar with multiple pc's.

The smart thing with the alarmtoday solution was that I did not need to take care about notifications, deletions etc. I just installed AT and all notifications came back. And btw, I usually sync only with one PC, seem to be a WM5 problem.

Dotfred, could you help me.
I was not lucky - while replying to this post the problem came back again after 3 months. My Alarm today fix did not work again. Before I tried your task manager I checked my notification queue with sk-Tools: I don't have too many notifications. So - any Idea what I can do instead.
Thanks Hase

I was almost in my bed!
1) Try to disable all notifications (don't worry, they are stored in the registry, so you won't lose any of them, except if you do a hard reset, or delete the reg entries).
2) Soft reset and make a test
3) if it works, just enable the notifications as mentioned in my first post until the problem is back (or not).
Cheers,

ps.: I'm going to sleep now... it's 1:24 AM here!

Thanks for late night reply - I am living in the same time zone btw
May be I have to install your task manager, sk-tools is not able to disable notifications, only delete is possible. Do you think this might help, I won't be able to install you tm before the weekend? I don't have duplicate entries and no SCRIPT:0x000.. entries.

By disabling all entries, it's like cleaning the notifications database. So it will surely solve your problem (temporary anyway).

I tried to use you TM on my WM2003 SE ppc as I always do before I run a new program on my Qtek S200 (it's nearly impossible to deinstall a program only manual deletion of all files works). Unfortunately it does not run on my IPAQ. It starts but dies after 0.5 secs. Did you ever had this problem?

You're not the first one telling me this. I don't know why it doesn't work on IPAQ with WM2003SE.
But, you can launch it on your Qtek s200 without any doubt. I already tested it myself on Qtek 2020, 9090, 9100, Mitac Scoter A701 and HTC P3600 without any problem found.

I got the notifications back. I think it was basically repaired by installing alarmtoday again from backup. I think the problem could have been caused by the new sktools version. Strange.
B.t.w. do you need a beta tester for oyur TM on IPAQ. Then just sent me a pm

Ok. I have the same problem recently.. unsure what is the problem, but it seems that softreset *cause* (not solve) the problem, some what.. during my testing.
Anyway, I tried a few solutions listed, and the easy one is to use the TaskManager (freeware) to find the notification with 'Status' is in 'signalled'. These are passed notifications and it seems that these are causing the problem. As soon as I've removed them, the problem seems to have solved.
Then, I tested it again, by removing the 'Init_tray' from the startup and do a softreset. I tried it again, and it doesn't work. I check again on Task Manager, those 'signalled' stuff are back.

I know you can..

Can some one hook me up with a good battery monitoring program and mabe ram and other programs? I know you guy's for connections,
Appreciate the quickest reply i gtg soon..

Stop Activesync

I have had my HD for a few days now and am getting used to it. However, I am finding that every time I use it, activesync is running. Why is this? I have only connected to my work PC once to install two apps that didn't have cab files, but that was on Friday last week.
How do I stop activesync from running all the time?

This happens on the Diamond also - and for that I haven't seen a 'fix' other than in some of the cooked ROM's that you can find on here - no-one's done one for the HD yet, so I guess we have to live with it - t'is annoying though

there is a way of doing it. the method works for kaiser and should for hd as well since os is same and i'm sure same dll/executable is reponsible for starting AS on hd. i just can't paste the link as responding from my tilt but if u do a search as "stop activesync startup" it should bring the thread w/solution.
if u don't find it hang tight and i'll post the link when i get to a desktop.

Thanks thesire, I have done a search, found this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-288352.html" thread, followed the instructions and it works!!
Thanks for the help.

MDA won't sync

Hello
I have a G3 MDA 3.08 w/ CR86 Touch HD v2.4 Clean ROM
I have many contacts and many important dates saved on my Outlook 2007 but I cannot get them to transfer. It used to do it automatically when I first started to use my MDA. But now it has stopped..
Can anyone help me with this? thanks in advance

I found this buried somewhere in either the Microsoft Active Sync help, one of the MS forums, and maybe here, too. But it was pretty obscure.
Caveat: I have NO CLUE as to WHY this should work, but it did.
Go to SETTINGS -> SYSTEM -> USB to PC.
Whatever the setting is, change it. It worked for me, despite the fact that it was the setting that I had to change to get Active Sync to work in the first place. I have no clue as to why the setting that would not let Active Sync work before now made it work now.
Just to really mess me up, as I check it now after having flashed S.V.I.'s Angel v.4, the USB to PC setting is changed back, but Active Sync has been working perfectly ... well, as perfectly as it ever did.
Sure hope this helps.

no. if i change it, it doesn't read it at all
thanks for trying though. i had some hope lol

Hmm. Try using DotFred's task manager to clear your duplicate notifications. I'm pretty sure it's already part of your ROM. Also clear your temp files out with ClearTemp. Cooks tend to forget this one, but it's a damn useful little program.
Chances are the first step will cure your problem. Shut the phone off completely in between steps, too.

palringo IM on hd2

has anyone been able to install this on their tmobile hd2? i tried installing via opera on my phone and "an error occurred" during installation. when copying the cab file over to my phone and navigating to it via explorer, clicking on it does nothing...doesn't start the installation. installing apps hasn't changed, right? navigate to the cab and click it? i owned the original HD last year and am winmo capable...bah!
thanks,
rob

i attached the ones i downloaded a while ago.
the larger one (1) is beta version - this is the one i prefer.
a message for update will arrive shortly after first use.

awesome, the beta installed fine. i guess palringo gave me the wrong cab version or something. thanks!

you're welcome
wow, that was fast

Palringo is great, but remember that it is better to turn it off when not using.
Otherwise, you will run out of batter sooner than you think

yea, i remember using it on my htc touch hd1. it did hurt battery a bit, but it seemed like the best IM client out there at the time. because i've always got my laptop and bag with me, i guess i'll have to make sure to keep my charging cable with me as well.

after first use of the beta? i haven't received an updated message yet...is it to update to a non-beta full version?

only an updated beta i think.
you have to have a little patience, sometimes it takes 30 mins or so for the message to appear.

hello! I've been using palringo too and I think it's the best messenger app out there but does anyone has this problem? Every time I try to share a picture, I can't launch the camera anymore and have to soft reset...!

i like beejive more but unfortunately it doesn't provide support for its winmo version anymore and sometimes it doesn't work for days. so overall i also think palringo is the best for winmo.
i have never tried to send files through palringo so i can't help.
just one more thing, i've just read somebody managed to run succesfully fring for xperia x1 on hd2. perhaps we might also give it a try
