Hi all,
i use the build in alarm function, but there seems to be a bug. Everytime the alarm starts, it plays the alarmsound i set up and the notification soundfile at the same time. So when i change the notification sound to "silent"(seems to be an empty soundfile) the alarm works just fine, but thats not a real solution. Looked in the registry but didn't find anything that might would help
Maybe someone have an idea?
I seem to remember there is a fix mentioned in these forums somewhere to stop the notification sound being played instead of the alarm tone, but I can't find the thread.
thx for the post,
but the notification sound isn't played instead the alarm sound, it plays at the same time. It's very annoying because the notification sound is very loud (and it should be, else i wouldn't hear it in my pocket) and causes a heart attack every morning
bump, nobody have an idea?
I've got the same problem but haven't found any solution yet:/
It must be a windows bug, it happens also with Sense turned off!
So is nobody using the default alarm or are we the only one with the problem?
could you please post your rom version pawjas21?
mine:
ROM: 1.43.111.2 (70315) GER T-Mobile

Hi, I have this strange experience with my alarms, eventhough i havent set any alarms to my clock setting, my phones keeps on alarming, anyone please help me how to get rid of this? thanks...
Hello,
Did you check if its an Alarm of a task reminder or Appointments? Does the notification window display only Alarm or any other message associated with it?

I had bad experience with the alarm clock too. In fact, I am looking for a good alarm program.
Sometimes, even after you have deleted the alarm entry, the alarm would still goes off!
Other times, you get double alarmed for the same entry.
One way to reproduce this problem is to mess with the "Visiting" time.
Good luck!

It seems that u can use any MP3, wav etc. files as your ringtone. But if you set your ringtone to vibrate and ring, the audio will play well but the vibrate mode will continue vibrating until the audio finish, and this is kinda annoying.
Is there any software that could edit this ringtone and vibration mode?
I know that nokia ringtones has the ability to control the vibrate pattern with their .nrg files, but i don't think it's supported with PPC and you can't get the .nrg editor. They keep it close to themselves.
Do let me know if there's any such s/ware or any of u guys who could develop it...

Anyone have an answer to this? I know that this post is old but perhaps there is still no clear answer (yes I have done the search thing but nothing came out) so I am having the same problem, anyone out there who could shed light into this? It would be also be beneficial if someone could tell me if there is a way to make the long custom sms stop when I have already acknowledged the alert? it is kinda annoying specially if you forget to set to silent on a meeting, it still plays even if I have already touched the phone and tried to switch it off. please help? thanks.
i am searching for this function too. vibrate and sound at the same time. every profile-manager i have seen can make only vibrate or sound. or first sound an then vibrate.
This Software can make it:

(Profil: loud)
but i need only a software for profiles not for contacts and so on.
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"
hello.my problem is:i set in "Notification Sounds" ringtone for "reminder".now when i set "alarm" on "on" ,so when after alarm ringing,so playing two ringtones together.them which i set on "reminder" and "alarm".everyone similar problem?thanx and sorry for my very very bad english
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.
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.
