Morning
I have set up the alarm on the sence home screen and set my tone to the alarm to but, When the alarm goes off it is not the tone i set and this will not wake me up. Is there a bug with the alarm has anyone else had this problem???????????????????
I used my alarm for a week straight while traveling - after having changed to a different alarm tone (alarm 5 - the default in my previous devices) - and it worked flawlessly. Not sure if we're doing anything different. Mine is the stock UK ROM from HTC direct.
My alarm has just plain and simple failed to go off 3 days running now. Worked fine Mon & Tues. Nothing since. Also having the unlock code being rejected - even though it's correct - on the same mornin
I too have had this problem but solved it this morning. I had a custom taskbar icon set installed. It messed with the volume screen, and was also causing my alarm to not sound. I uninstalled the icons (tsowen taskbar) and now my alarms are sounding again!
EDIT: I have just reinstalled the taskbar icons, and remembered that I forgot to install SDKCERTS.cab last time. Having installed both that, and the taskbar now, the alarms seem to be sounding alright. Will let you know if anything changes again.
My HD2 is still stock. Rather annoyed with the issues actually. Such an expensive phone should've been better QA'd
It seems to set off my reminders tone and my alarm tone at the same time. But it does play the sound I selected just with the other tone mixed in...
HD2 built in Alarm not working correctly
I have the same problem on my HD2. The Reminder sound starts just before the Alarm sound starts. It was not working that way on the HD : Alarm and Reminder were fully separate. I saw my issue on other forums, but no answer so far.
Of course other alarm software do solve the matter, but, beleive it or not, I am happy with the built in alarm, and I do not like unsolved issues.
I have searched the register many ways, but could not find any tuning. Is it a tuning or a bug ? Any idea from skilled developpers ?
It has worked perfectly for me, 100% of the time since early November, and I use the alarm daily.
I suggest you hard reset and try it without installing any 3rd party apps. If it does not work, detail every step you took to check it as you may have done something wrong.
HD2 Alarm not working correctly
Many thanks johncmolyneux for your wise advice. I have just tried it : real hard reset (+&- buttons then + then reboot). After reboot I cancelled all buttons asking for customisation. As soon as I got control, I defined a clock alarm, and... the Reminder (Alert-Soft) ringged just before the Alarm (Alarm-light).
So this problem really exists. I have had it with the stock ROM. And I still have it with the latest official ROM from HTC site "_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_FRA_1.48.406.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe".
From what you tell me (working OK on yours), it could be either a bug on all french ROM, or a hardware bug (would be rather strange).
Again, can solve by disabling All reminders, but then of course reminders will not sound.
Any idea from skilled developpers, a register entry, a cfg, an ini file ?

Yeah...same bug too. First the reminder tone plays....then right after that, the custom alarm tone plays together..it's like a remix of the 2 tones.
This bug was also present in the cooked ROMs for HTC HD and it was solved using higher builds, starting with 21875.
Try G-Alarm
Hi,
I had the exact same problem with my HD2 running 1.48 with a minimum of applications installed and it was so annoying. I downloaded the program G-Alarm and it seems to work perfectly. I also applied the small hack, so you can access G-Alarm (or one of the others) directly from the home screen. The hack is described on Pocketnow.com.
Best regards,
Jacob
I have problems with the 'stock' alarm too, I use G-alarm at the moment, but it kills my battery overnight, well compromises I guess?? :S
i have problem with alarm too on stock rom 1.48
reminder sounds before alarm
alarm plays for hardly 5 sec ( 10 sec with alarm snooze sound file )
if not dismissed only repeats itself for 5 seconds after 15 sec of initial play back
well problem is alarm duration is too short the alarm sound should continue to play unless interrupted at least for 1 min .
secondly the alarm should auto repeat itself after minute or two if not interrupted.....
g alarm is not a solution actually
g alarm is nice application indeed but i feel its buggy on my phone and a bit unstable .......

Also same problem with ASIAN WWE stock ROM. The alarm rings one time and then dies. The instant solution is to set long music as alarm.
Bah, the best solution is to install Klaxon or G-Alarm... I really can't understand why a so basic feature can't work as expected !
have all of you reported it to HTC ?
we all should pressurize HTC for solution of Bugs they have sold to us....
its their crap .......
so it should not be headache for us....!!!!!!
to talk about bugs in forums is not a good idea any way
we should bombard their service support with mails & calls and so that all bugs are reported well and official solution comes ...........
official update is always good rather then our individual efforts ....
it would save time for developing roms and new features rather then solving HTC Bugs ......
so every one agree?
i've already reported officially to the HD2 support page. They replied to look into the issue.
My HD2 is running on 1.48 (WWE) ROM. At first I had set the alarm from Mon-Fri at 7 am. It works well.
However, the alarm still goes off EVENTHOUGH I had switch off the alarm function.
Any ideas why this happens ?
I'm on stock o2 rom (1.43) and unfortunately have the same problem. First, reminder sound before alarm, then it rings only twice. ... quite annoying I must say...

Hi!
Does anyone know of a better Alarm software for Pocket PC?
I don really like the default one, and I dont think there is any "nice" sounds to use for waking up!
PLease help.
the only thing you can do is add some "nice" alarm sounds to the windows directory on the phone, I called mine alarm 5 etc..
got some nice loud ones
not a great alarm app, but it does help to wake you up..

Can I use any file or does it have to be wav or something? And then just rename it "Alarm"?
any wav file will do
Does your alarm function work properly? I've only used it once (for the first time) when I was in a hotel last week. The alarm didn't sound at the time I had set. When I woke up and pressed the on/off button of my XDA II the alarm went off!
Anyone else encounter this problem? Is there something I've missed when setting the alarm?

Hi
Ive experienced the exact same problem. That's why i dont trust it, and i want other software...
Alarm!
I use SPB Time, works GREAT. Had two alarms set for every weekday and during the trial period it always worked flawlessly.
That and I had sent some improvement suggestions to SPB, and the product manager actually responded!
For the 10 bucks, I say it's worth it.
I use AlarmX by MTUX (it has two alarms with nice sounds).
It works fine. The only thing is that you must activate it before you go to sleep, because if not it doesn't wake up.
Bye,

I search for an alarm program, that automatically sets the volume to maximum. My problem is when I left to take the volume up in the evening, I can't hear the alarm sound at the morning..

AlarmX by MTUX do this. It is indipendent of your system volume.

You could try PocketZenPhone, which will allow you to create profiles that will switch the volume to your required levels at your required times.
I have mine set to switch the ppc volume to silent, and phone volume to silent at 11:15pm then switch back to loud for ppc and loud for phone at 6:15am.
Works like a charm.

Thank you for the tips!
I will check them...
Another solution to alarm problem
I was also having problems with my alarms, read somewhere that unwanted entries in start up could affect this & slow your machine down too, Hope that helps....
Download this freeware (both of them), install them and run them.
http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html
I installed this freeware which seems to have (a) cleared a lot of unwanted dross (sometimes 400+!!!!) & (b) sorted out my alarm problem
Someone recommended this excellent and useful 'pocket Alarm' utility when I was still using my XDA I, Burr Oak have now upgraded it and it better than ever!
Try it free here :- http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta2.html (costs $12-ish if you like it enough to register it)
I am using Alarme version 3.06. Get it at http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...11201§ionId=0&catalog=30&txtSearch=alarme
I am using it for more than a year, it wakes me up everyday, you can choose any wav file as your alarm.
Its volume control doesn't care about your device volume. Even if you left the device muted before you went to sleep, it will ring loud and clear.
Hey guys,
Anyone know of any new alarm clock programs out there that have a large snooze button so i don't accidently turn off the alarm like i always do now with pocket travel alarm?
Thanks
JW
When you say new, have you tried all the old ones already?
There are a number of good options out there...

I tried it for a few times and I do quite like it over the PocketWakeup, due to its (travel alarm) nice looking interface. However, I went back to PocketWakeup anyway. Reasons:
(1) Travel alarm does not include a vibrate feature
(2) There is always a thread/process of travel alarm running at the background, which I'm not sure if helps on my slow Charmer processing power and/or the battery life.

This is a good alarm & its free, never let me down yet. http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/alarmclock.shtml
Don't know of any new ones. I use the alarm from MortPlayer. It is very basic, but does the job. I can use my MP3 as the alarm. I had it fail once because my phone didn't recognize my media folder on the storage card. It wasn't isolated to MortPlayer so I can't blame it on the program.

Yep, I've used that one too and have no complaints about it. It seems to work pretty well and has never let me down either.
I have been using MTUX AlarmX for a couple years. It isn't quite up to date (doesn't support landscape for example). And it's pretty basic (no MP3s, no repeating alarms) but then the interface is also simple. It is easy to set up to two alarms, alarm sounds, End or Snooze an alarm. I periodically try other programs, but always come back to this.
It was the first time I have set my alarm to wake me up on my 8525. Needless to say I could not get the alarm to turn off. I have tried soft reseting and everything. Now when the phone restarts the red indicator light flashes and even without any alarms checked, the unit continuously plays the alarm over and over again with about a 15 second delay.
Has anyone seen this before? It is driving me insane!
I have the at&t rom and it has worked fine for over a month now..
What could it be?
Its a bug. I had the same issue on a previous AKU 3.x rom.
The only way I got rid of it was reinstalling my Rom...
I had it with a TyTN with factory supplied ROM (AKU 2.x). There was no dismiss soft-button, nor the menu to do anything; reset didn't help either. At the time, I just turned off the sound for notifications and hardresetted the phone in the evening.

Well, yes there are some known issues with the alarm. It may however not be necessary to go to the lengths of changing the ROM and doing a hard reset.
One of the most common issues is that the alarm notification store becomes cluttered up with duplicates and junk. (And this can happen regardless of whether you use the alarm much or not!!).
The standard way to clear the notifications queue is to use a third party tool and there are several but the best known are:
SKtools (Not Freeware)
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14288
Memmaid (Not Freeware)
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14279
Scarybear (Freeware)
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/notificationclearfix.shtml
Use any of these to clear your notifications cue. I personally like sktools as it has a host of other facilities well worth having - but the others are good too.
Mike
Is the behaviour of absent dismiss and menu buttons (the soft buttons) also the result of a messed up notifications queue?
I did have issues once where alarms went of twice at the same time, etc.; but at least I could turn them off when this occured.

Good question - and I do not know the answer for sure. The first two posters above do not say whether they get the dismiss option at all or whether they get the dismiss option but it just does not cancel the alarm.
That was the reason for my "caution" in replying and saying they "may" not need to change ROM or Hard reset.
Mike
Wow!
I just used scarybear and I had 899 items that were sitting there! That could slow down the old 8525 huh??? That seems like quiite the large oversight on the part of HTC does it not?

Wow! indeed.
Question is will it now work correctly?
I wouldn't blame HTC for this one though, it's a M$ problem.
Hope it works, if not it's a hard reset next step. Mine had this problem but ok now after clear out. You may find you've claered out some notifications you do want. That's ok though you can reset them. Also if you ever restore from a backup you may need to re-clear the duplicate notifications.

Not to state the obvious, but have you checked Settings > Sounds & Notifications to ensure that notifications isn't unticked?
I am using SPB phone suite which has profiles.
I checked notifications is ticked.
Is it just that the notification tone isn't playing?
There was a bug with some of Dutty's roms that if your notification tone wasn't set to the default one, it wouldn't sound at all.
Yes no notification alarm or pop up.
So I have an appointment for 10 am and I put a 30 min reminder. I will get no reminder, the profile will switch to meeting mode automatically but no popup reminder or sound notification.
Im using the stock ROM.
Some one please help.
I had the same problem few months ago but after about a week time it started to work again itself. I don't know why it didn't work. Since then the problem didn't appear any more.
I suspected S2U2 but I don't know if it was the reason.

I have not made any changes except uninstalling SPB imageer.

Not sure what culprit is, but you could backup your contacts/emails etc, do a hard reset and see if problem still exists on bare rom. If it doesn't, install one software at a time, test if it works, then proceed with next app until you find possible culprit
I noticed that changing the patterns in calendar from "occur once" to any more complicated, like "from Tuesday to Friday" i.e. might be responsible for the problem. Few months ago I started to create more advanced remainders in calendar and after couple days it stopped remind me of any event.
I didn't notice where the problem was, because the problem didn't appear instantly but after 2-3 days.
Few days ago I tried to edit patterns and two days later the problem came back again.
Could someone investigate this issue on his own HTC to confirm the source of the problem, please.
Is there any update for calendar?
PS. Sorry for my poor English.

Well after 2 days it went back to working by it self.
Its working fine now.
I do have 1 complex reminder. Basically it says remind me every 24th of the month for the coming 3 years
But thats still working normally.
It stopped again. I have not modified anything.
I had that problem too. The free app pmClean fixed it for me:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pmclean-v1-06.html
You can set it to automatically repair the Notification Queue every day, which seems to fix the problem with reminders not triggering
alltruism,
I have Memmaid and used to find duplicates/dangling/expired/invalid and it found nothing.
Ill try the app you mentioned and hopfully it fixes it.
Ok in downloaded and installed PMclean v1.07 and i cleaned notifications. The first time I had like 27 and then after the cleaning it said 42. Then further cleaning just locked it at 42. Arent the numbers supposed to come down?
Anyway, I restarted and then tested. It worked, I tested again and it worked.
Wow thanks a lot Alltruism,but how come my Memmaid could not pick up on those Notification Que anomalies?
Currently, I use Klaxon, and I adore it. However, it periodically just stops working (the alarm will randomly not go off, and continue to not work until I uninstall and reinstall). This, of course, is a problem - Why use an alarm that fails to work?
I am looking for a new Alarm program, and was wondering if you knew of a good one?
*The default one is too quiet and lacks the snoozes I need.

Download BsB tweaks and you can set WM to have more snooze intervals.
Try G-Alarm. It is a really good one. I use it and it works fine for me. Has a good amount of alarm options on it. Hope this helps.
good alarm
I have been using g alarm for a good while and it has been really great. I like that I can set the vol to increase gradually. One complaint is that after a while the gradual increase became irregular.
I have been using SPB Time for years. It works very well. It's not free, but I think they have a demo available in the Marketplace. Worth the money, in my opinion.

+1 on G-Alarm. More reliable for me than Klaxon. I like the ability to use 2 sound files, which creates a random alarm you can't ignore!
One little quirk: be careful when setting same-day alarms, because G-Alarm defaults to the next day. You have to manually hit the back arrow on the date when setting an alarm.
+1 on G-Alarm. I have been using it since last year. It is great, you can have many alarms and set it for different times on different days, it's great because I can have different alarms for weekdays and weekends. You can also have each alarm ring for longer or shorter and you can have it so you have to answer math questions or do puzzles to turn off. Try answering 16-7 when you are half awake, it will wake you up!
