Klaxon confusion?? can u help

Hi all
I'm trying out Klaxon alarm clock.
Can anyone tell me the purpose / function of the "bell" button (bottom 2nd from right in attached image).
When I'm setting up an alarm, clicking on it just toggles making it lit up/not. If I press the play button it always plays an alarm tone (beep) whether the bell button is pressed or not. Very confusing and as usual with all these little apps there is no manuals or instructions anywhere.
Thanks for any help

Bell icon in klaxon
When bell icon is 'lit' it means the alarm is active. When bell icon is 'unlit' it means alarm is inactive.

Thanks for the reply qai5er
Stil confused. If I go in an edit /create a new alarm, why would I want to make th ealarm inactive???? Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron ?
Also, when I click on the "play" button it plays an alarm beeping regardless of whether the alarm is active or inactive. Surely if I make the alarm inactive, then the play button should play nothing and perhaps tell me "nothing to play, alarm inactive"...??

also as well as the questions above, can anyone tell me what the items mean on the alarm config page . . .
Snooze (min) I assume this is the snooze time
Expire (Min) - what is this?
Delay (Sec) - what is this?
Many thanks to anyone who can help

No, it is'nt. This is an important feature to me at least. Just because I have set up the alarm does not mean that there is'nt situation when I do not need it. Let me give you an example. I may have an alarm to remind me to pick up my children after school. During school holidays, I would make it inactive, and I would reactivate it when the school starts. I could delete it during school holiday and recreate it I suppose but that's too troublesome.
You might find good use of this in the future.

Since Klaxon seems to work witout any problems on your devices I was wondering if you could tell me which settings you chose.
I have installed Klaxon and checked all boxes in the settings-menu, but the alarm won't work.
Instead of the Klaxon alarm the standard WM-alarm start at the specified time, but ends after a few seconds by itself (probably because Klaxon wants to start its alarm?).
Could you give me any advice?
TIA

What does the options "Integrate with TouchFlo3D" and "Forcibly remove windows Alarm" do?
I see no difference in touch flo nor in the normal windows alarms. Even if I touch clock in touch flo windows alarm is opened.

None - it doesn't seem to work.
However, I've installed SSMapa (2 files copied into /windows and then when opening up settings I get 2 questions - accept these). Second - start SSMapa, do an init, find time / clock and set up program exactly as typed:
/Program/Klaxon/Klaxon.exe
Set directory:
/Program/Klaxon
Chose save. Then deploy. You get 2-3 worrysome questions about removing signed exe files - answer yes. Restart device for simplicity sake or wait a moment and you'll get 2-3 questions about MP???.exe answer yes. Now you have Klaxon integrated completely into your interface. Meaning that when alarm sounds, Klaxon pops up. When you click the time - Klaxon is opened. No more useless WM time settings.

I have tried this but I cannot seem to find Klaxon.exe whether it is installed on my device or on my Storage card, I am not sure what to do.
Nevermind, got it working after LOTS of messing around

at least 2 people have now said that they managed to sort it out, but didn't explain how they did it.
to the people who are now able to use klaxon as a normal alarm, can you please share what settigns you had to change to get the alarm to play (say, a mp3), and then snooze for x minutes ?
thanks

I ended up uninstalling it as it was too unreliable. It was a bit slow to start up and also the alarm always went off late when integrated with TouchFlo (not sure if S2U2 was causing this). Back on the standard alarm now and it actually goes off at the right time now, which is a bonus.

I guess that the Expire is the how long the alarm wanto keep snoozing.
Let say yr snooze time is 5 mins. And yr expire time is 30 mins. Means it will only snooze for 6 times.. then it expired..

U can chooose the ringtone (MP3) from the 'sound logo' which is left to the 'Play' logo. From there u go search for yr MP3 file from yr folders. But remember to lit up the 'bell' logo or else it wont sound. Also pls close the light sensor which i found it is troublesome which yr alarm wont sound after 1st snooze.

iPhone like Alarms Manager

I´d like to know if there is any alarm manager for Wm like the iPhone? Easy to use and where you can activate/deactivate alarms by sliding an indicator.
I´ve tried G-Alarm and Klaxon and neither of them is good - and easy to use - enough.

I use spbtime as i find it is the most finger friendly alarm manager out there. I also have used SSMaPa to configure the BIG TF3D clock to go to spbtime when i touch it, so setting the alarm at night for me is a 5 second things instead of a lets get the stylus out...

Simple Alarm
If you interest, you can test use my own Alarm.
You can quickly toggle alarm active by double clicking on speaker icon of each alarm.
But no cab file, only zip. Unpack to phone and try it

Great.. works very well for me!
It even turns up the sound if it's turned of..
Thanks
(I don't understand the russian signs though.. )

Looks very nice...
Hi. Looks very nice.. looking forward to an english version
Keep up the good word..

it's English version, screen shots with russian alphas it's a example only (it's titles of created alarms, which user writing itself).

nice design and work fine
thanks

It looks very nice, i´ll try and leave my feedback.

I´ve tried, but it lacks some features, it doesn´t integrate with the TF3D correctly..
Do you know any other alarm for HD similar to the iPhone one?

Best alarm app integrated with sense

What would be the best alarm app which integrates with TF3D?
I understand that most of them handle the alarms by themselves, so if I set an alarms at 8:35 it will not change also the WM alarm and on the main sense page the alarm will be set to off

Try G-Alarm this will do what you want. Also see the patch by 12aon that uses the button on home screen for G alarm.

I tried g alaarm but it hangs my hd2 a lot.. not sure if I'm the only one having problem but I have to hardreset

Read a lot and pls tell me if the following is correct:
- I install G-Alarm
- I use the hack to remap the manila alarm box
- when setting an alarm in G-Alarm, G-Alarm will create a dummy WM alarm that will show up on the manila alarm box, instead of ALARM OFF

Please can you give me the link to the g-alarm-patch for redirect click on alarm-button in sense?
You have to disable g-sensor-settings in G-Alarm, otherwise G-Alarm will hang up your device (G-Alarm can´t use HD2 g-sensor).
You have to edit the registry because of the midnight-wake-up --> battery drain. Can´t give you the exact reg-keys, but it´s called like "midnightwakeup" or so...
The rest is as you explained...

Thanks Bib_x, will give it a try again..

the current HD2 alarm is not working well?
If HD2 turned off, the alarm will still work when times come?

More Alarms Possible?

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find an answer. Is there a registry tweak that will increase the number of possible Alarm Clock alarms? If not, is there a good alternative that hooks into the WinMo Alarm Clock?
Thanks.

G-Alarm.
As many alarms as you want.

How does G-Alram compare to SPB Time? I can update to the newest version of Time for $5.00 (Had an old version from a couple years back).
Does G-Alarm show up in the Alarm area in HTC Sense?
Thanks.
-Bob-

It basically disables alarms 2 and 3. It only uses slot 1 of the alarm (so yes, you'll see it in Sense). But it changes slot 1 of the alarm depending on how many alarms you've set in G-Alarm.
Get G-Alarm, probably the best alarm software out there for Windows Mobile. Never tried SPB Time.
Cheers.

Thanks for the info.
I was looking for an alarm too.

Your best bet is to use a 3rd party alarm clock application

well thats no fun LOL and I kinda Like this ver

The Windows Mobile built in alarm is unreliable, if you set appointments and alarms, alot of the time just the appointment will go off,or neither will go off.
I would suggest gAlarm, it's the best I have found.
Really though, if you need your phone's alarm as anything more than a novelty, a 3rd party app is the way to go.
