no one hasn't this problem?when ringing sound in alarm,playing melodies which i set in alarm and playing melodie which i set in reminder together crisscross
I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but I am having an issue which I have only just noticed this morning.
I set my alarms for work and I always use the snooze sound which wakes me up the best. This morning no snooze sound. When I tested the alarm I realised it was using the reminder sound which was set to a quiet alert sound. Changing the reminder sound in the settings also changes the alarm sound.
IS this what you mean?
So, I have similar problem regarding reminder but not the same.
I think it has a serious bug, and our problems connect somehow in the background.
1.) In some cases (I can not define the rule) there is only reminder sound, not alarm. It is absolutely strange because it is not loud enough to wake me up.
2.) First I have set up 3 schedules: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 without description text.
After I have modified them to 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, and I have given names for they.
What happens? The reminder sounds 5 (!) times, at all of the above schedules, even at 5:30 2 times! It is really strange.
Of course, probably it can be cleaned based on the registry, but this is very dangerous. What will happen after the next modification?
Any idea to fix it?
richardirv:yes,this is it.when ringing alarm,leo playing two songs together.for alarm and for reminder...
Double sound in reminders & alarms
Yes you are right.
This has been present for a long time with WM6.5 and HTC Sense/Manila.
I am guessing it is because 2 systems are operating.
A workaround I use is to assign an unobtrusive sound to reminders in WM sounds & notifications, like alarm-high frequency and a different alarm sound.
I don't think there is a fix for this.

Reminder notifications: SOUND without VIBRATION not possible
Hi, I got excatly the same problem, two sound when the clock alarm is activated. I can stand with this... but today I have found even worse problem and I am totally disapointed this htc software...
So, when I setup calendar apointment, and create "Reminder notification" for this lets say 5 minutes before event, then of course I get a pop-up with: "delay" or "cancel" the event. But the problem is with SOUND and VIBRATION for this reminder event. Namely, I can not force the phone to make a "Reminder notification" sound ONLY, without vibration. When I go to: settings, sound and screen, reminder sounds, I can turn on switch for reminders. This is OK, then click on reminders to go in and here a problem: VIBRATION: OFF, ON, ONLY. When set up to OFF and confirm, the main switch for reminders is changed to OFF! So no sounds for reminders at all!!! When I switch it on again and go into reminders settings, and choose VIBRATION ON and confirm and go back, main switch stays on but this means that the only configuration which works is to have reminder events with VIBRATION AND SOUND... totally crap
can anybody investigate? Thanks in advance.
Reminder issue
Hi I'm also having an issue with the alarm function.
On Monday I set alarms for 5:00, 5:15 & 5:30 (just in case I get lazy and sleep in)
On Monday night I turn them off, but they still sound on Tuesday????
I spoke to HTC and they said I need to reflash the latest image, which is total rubbish and a common answer to every single problem you send them.
Is this the same issue?
Is there a fix?
my workaround is to only ever set/change settings for anything like alarms or reminders in the windows settings (settings menu all settings clocks and alarms or sounds and notifications)
using the manila pages (tap alarms on home page, or settings, sound and display) always screw things up.
it seems themanila pages arent correctly integrated, in that they don't correctly feed the settings back into the windows settings. also, they don't seem to use the same paths for sounds.
look at the available alarm sounds in manila alarms, and compare it to the available alarm sounds in windows clocks and alarms screen, and once you have set a sound for an alarm in winmob, have a look at the sound for that alarm in manila alarms.
i haven't seen this problem since i started only using win mo settings pages for setting alarms.

Hi Guys,
Has anyone else had this problem with the built-int alarm clock?
Sometimes it wakes the device up, displays the notification, flashes the led but does not play the sound!
I set the alarm to play sound, repeat, flash light.
It's a big problem for me, as I use my phone as my alarm clock!
I need to wake up!
same here, I have been trying to figure it out
x3, my alarm doesn't always wake up the device and play the sound. Sometimes it waits until I interact with the device until sounding the alarm.
I wonder if this has something to do with a recent discovery I made...
If you use SKTools and go to view the Notification queue, you will see MANY duplicate entries for WLMScheduler.
I just deleted 142 entries today!!
Basically it has 3 different event entries, but they get created again everytime WLMService starts, even if they already exist.
This pollution probably slows down the system significantly. Must be a coding oversight, as WLMService doesn't check if the events already exist.
So basically, everytime you restart your Touch you add 3 duplicate events to the Notifications queue!
This is something that shouldn't be happening, as the only way to solve the problem is to manually delete them with SKTools.
I will report the results now that I cleared all this garbage....
look up wakeup tweak or pocket alarm thweak. they eliminate these entries. i used wakeup tweak on my old ppc and 6600 and it worked. i'm testing it now on the touch.
Any updates on this? My alarm won't sound off if it's in sleep mode. I like to use my phone as an alarm for everything (including waking up) and just started reading about this problem. Anyone find a resolution?
Hey,
I got a small issue with manila 2.5 and the notification enhancement. If you set the alarm clock and alarm starts ringing, but after a half sec it stops ringing because of the notification pop up. It comes up and kills the ringing. So the alarm clock does not really ring. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Another thing is the new sensor sdk. If the new message client does rotate, the keyboard will be hidden. Is there somewhere a reg key for the automatic appearance of the keyboad?
thanks
Andy

You could set alarms from the start menu, it will then first give you the notification sound and after that it will make the sound you choose for the alarm
I have chosen an alarm sound...but the sound gots killed by the notification pop up of the notificatuib ehancement. This means at present, an real alarm is not possible with manila 2.5.
The way I described it I first go the notification sound and afterwards it made the alarmclock sound.
there's one simple work around, go to Sounds and Notifications>Reminders, untick everything except "Display Message on Screen"
If i set an alarm, and pick a sounds for it like "alarm-snooze" (one of the louder ones) when it comes time for the alarm, it pops up on the device with a single little high pitched "alert" beep, but does not play the alarm sound i selected.
This is a huge problem for me as i use my phone for my waking up alarm, and that tiny beep doesnt wake me up -
why isnt it using the alarm sound i have selected?
Does anyone else see this?
any way to fix?
Thanks
I have noticed the same issue two times now. Last night and this morning when I had to wake up to work. Didn't sound the alarm I separately choosed. It didn't actually play any sound at all although it wasn't in silent mode whatsoever.
go to settings>sounds and notifications and check the first option too, then go to the tab notifications (the right tab), choose event: Reminders and uncheck playing the sound. You can leave the show messega on the screen if you like to.
you're describing donig it thru the "all settings" area, to do it through the HTC settings apps...
go to
Settings > Sound & Display
then select "Notification Sounds"
then set "Reminders" to OFF
It will then play the Alarm sound we selected
Thanks for the tip! its rubbish that the tiny reminders "bip" takes precedence over the Alarm sounds we select!

You are both correct...
Chris, although they are 'generic', the function can be performed either from hyellow method or yours.
btw.. what is your field of medicine?
Haha, sorry I'm not a medic, research physicist

ok then but what happend to calendar notification by setting reminders to OFF?
I am currently using HTC's default alarm app, but I'm finding the alarm tone won't repeat and it will only ring out once, for say 3-4 seconds, and none of the tones seem to be any longer.
This is an issue for a heavy sleeper like me as I can often sleep though this and I'm partial to the odd snooze so there might 3 or 4 chances for me to do this! .
Anyone found a way to keep the alarm ringing out (repeating) till I turn it off. I'm using Dutty's ROM so I I'm not sure whether this is just a quirk of his ROM or just a crap alarm from HTC.
Help or reccomendations of good alarm apps welcome!
its not the rom, its the crappy alarm from windows mobile.. really useless imo.
i use the app G-Alarm that works great
(link)
the main thing i have found since using 6.5.x build roms is that the repeat problem no longer occurs. It repeats until you stop it.
One suggestion i can offer is to forget about setting up the alarms through the htc alarms tab, do them direct into settings - menu - all settings - clocks and alarms.
you will find 1 - there are more alarm sounds available, (which tells me the HTC alarms tab isn't working exactly the same as the system one)
and
2 - the HTC alarms tab will copy what you put in the system alarms screen, BUT setting directly into the HTC alarms doesnt always copy through to the system alarms tab.
I also use G-alarm, its great. But here is a free one thats looks like G-alarm

I have "Alarm-Light" selected as my alarm tone, and the thing doesn't shut up until I've stopped it.
My daily alarm plays ring only once. How I can make it to repeat itself for 20 minutes?
Thanks
Bump.
i don't believe that everyone here is sound sleeper. lol
there are several ongoing issues with the alarms.
tips to try to help get it working for you are...
use bsbtweaks to turn on "notification dismiss x time" (I forget the exact wording) to turn on proper windows snooze times.
set your alarms and alarm sounds using settings menu all settings clocks and alarms instead of the htcalarms screen.
in settings menu all settings sounds and notifications, in the dropdown find "reminders" and tick show message on screen.
hope these help some.

Klaxon works for me and it is free, I had the same problem with the stock alarm because I'm using S2U2.
