XDA II 2003 SE Alarm

Maybe we have most powerful device for digital asistance , but still it cant wake up me when i want :? :evil: , it is very ironik i have this device but i must use mechanic clock for wake up on time ... Is there any solition except install spb time?

Reload,
1st time poster (old time lurker), so please bear if my data is old. Don't know if this is still usable - but when my XDA II was new i had to install a program called "Wakeup Tweak" or something like that. Thanks to this site and many other sites that helped 'patch' up the bugs of the device.
It made a few changes in the registry to 'allow' the device to wake up when an alarm goes off. Did a quick search here a link:

Hope it's still usable - goodluck

Thank you Assisi , it looks like for 2003 , my device have 2003 se but i will try i hope it will work

I have found that if you disable the "vibrate" option for the alarm then it works fine.

SPB Time can make matters worse. When it's alarm goes off, it disables the sounds for Events (warnings, system events() and Notifications (alarms, reminders) until you click on "disable" on the little dialog window that comes up when SPB times alarm goes off. The problem is, sometimes it seems to "forget" to reenable these things which creates other annoyances. I'm not sure why SPB has included this "feature" but its enough to make me want to uninstall it sometimes.

this is funny/interesting, coz i'm using my xda2 default alarm feature daily, to wake me up at 5:30, and it works...

i have 2 xda2 in the household and both suffer from the same problem like the ones in 2003 roms. The first alarm of the day jus refuses to go off when its suppose to ... well occasionally it does but alot of times it just doesnt.
It use to be a simple registry hack to extend the suspend time for housekeeping at midnight everyday, can anyone confirm this is the same issue for 2003SE ?
And by the way, does anyone have a link to the registry hack ... i did a quick search and didnt find what i was looking for

I used to suffer from the same problem on my old rom (1.66). When i upgraded to 2.06, it seemed to be fixed.
Anyway, check here to fix it. It worked for me on the old rom.

Hey guys,listen this!
Once upon a time there was a little boy with his great XDA2 SE,a powerful device..
He used it for Alarm wake up too! No problems at all..
Only a strange thing,there was an alarm (really annoing)once a day at 10 o'clock never scheduled!
So,since that upgrade the little boy had many many terrible psycho attacks for that alarm! :lol:
Just joking but really,how do I remove an alarm that it isnt show in Clock e Alarms menu?
Thanx!

You can use ScaryBearSoftwares' Check Notifications program. It's free and you can download it from http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html
It let's you see the current notification events database and delete unwanted events among other things...

Alarm issues - anyone had this one?

This morning at 6.45am noticed that my 6am alarm didn't go off. Turned on pocketPC expecting my 6am alarm to go off as this used to happen on my old pocketPC. It didn't go off but at 7am on the dot, the pocketPC wakes up and sounds my 6am alarm!! What's that all about?
It wasn't a time zone thing either, my time tab was still set to Home and GMT (I'm in the UK) and I've never set it to away.
When I checked on the notifications message list that looked fine also.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any fix?
Cheers

You can try the alarmfix from spb pocket tips&tricks

Cheers, I'll give that a try as well as using my old fashioned alarm clock as well, just in case.
If Microsoft are reading this, come on, a PDA where you can't rely on it to ring at the correct time or at all for that matter. Shocking.

I have the same problem.
SPB tweak not help at all.

i have the same problem in my O2

I had the same problem . Try MemMaid.

Any other idea?

Alarm Sound

Does anyone know how I change the alarm sound? My HTC only has a few (bad) tones and I have no idea how to add some new ones!

if you mean timed alarm sound, i suggest to install Pocket wake Up, the best way to get wake up with the music of your choice.

ugh. French? :s

you can download winff (freeware) which will convert your sounds to wav, then copy the wav files to \Windows\ on your device.
otherwise Pocket WakeUp is good, but you must use "WakeUp Tweak" (google it) to fix the issue where the program launches but the phone does not play the alarm sound...

Installed Pocket WakeUp, gave it a try and it works like a charm! I'll use the default alarm aswell for a few days to check if I have problems with it. If so, I'll install the tweak.
Anyway, it's a pretty nice program. I found some files in english but cannot install them for some reason. No prob, as I know French

with pocket wakeup, it is strange because my phone goes into suspend mode during the night (normal), but when it is time to wake up the program launches but the phone does not wake up, and does not ring...

Alarm wake up
hi , i have been searching for a way to change my pooh alarm tones on my touch dual ,and i have found this program, you can use wav,mp3 ,set any amount of alarms,repeat etc,,,tried on mine and works a dream .
hope its of use to someone ,

hi.
i'm gone try it to see if it works well at my touch dual.
(sorry my english)

I have many custom alarm signals. You simply convert the mp3s (or other files) to wav-format (on your PC) and then copy over them to /windows on your phone. They will then be visible in the alarms drop down.

"any Alarm program" is not too helpful...
What doesn't work well? What ROM, and what ROM did you have prior to your upgrade?

at first, thanx 4 ur reply.... i ment by any alarm program is that i need a program which i can count on it to wake me up morning & Wm6.1 compatiable.
it doesnt work means that i had a problem with it. many times i tried to turn the screen on but no response. i didnt pass this problem untill removing it.
besides, when i chose an alarm ring & try to play it. the mobile hang up.
temporary i'm using Windows Task untill i find a good one.
do u have any programs name?

WM has its own clock/alarm system. Does the basics, and can do 3 times...

Alarm doesn´t repeat

My built in alarm suddenly doesn´t repeat the sound eventhough in the settings the repeat box is checked and it has been working great until a couple of days ago. I soft reset and...nothing. I only installed lately a new skin for WMplayer, that's all...Any suggestions? Can anybody recommend a reliable alarm which also display the time at which is set on the S2U2 screen when phone is locked.
Thanks in advanced and
Marry Christmas to Everyone!!

where u did find the repeat box?

clock/alarms...Click on the little Bell icon and you'll find it.

Well this isn't help with a problem but I am having the very same problem and it started after 6.1 upgrade from HTC website.

Please search for "How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile"
You will find the solution!

Sorry but there´s nothing about my thread: "Alarm doen´t repeat" in there.
It seems to be all about messaging...

i have the same problem !!!
plz help !!! i want 2 get out of bed in the morning xD\
cya

install G-alarm! it is a good substitute for windows mobile alarm!

cya

if you can't get it sorted, try a longer audio tone as a workaround
