I have recently installed pocketzenphone and magic button as per recomendations here, however I subsequently am having problems with the windows alarm. When I set an alarm it goes off at the specified time but does not bring up the notification screen for me to dismiss it and subsequently itkeeps repeating unless I delete it from the notification queue using pocket mechanic.
Any ideas why this is happening and if I can correct it?
Thanks
I can confirm the same problem with a German T-Mobile MDA Pro.
Do you have the 'Display' option selected in the PZP notification settings for your profile? I think you need to select this as well as 'Sound' and 'Flash' (or whatever you want). The Display option is the bit that gives you the 'Dismiss' button, I think. :?:
this problem occurs without PZP installed here.... but thanks anyway!
Check your notifications queue:
- duplicates of sddaemon
- \.\\NOTIFICATION....SCRIPT... entries
Could b 2 many notifications clogging things up.
Let us know what you find and whether you solve this. Iw ould immediately suspect PZP, but it's interesting that someone else has the problem without PZP. Strike "interesting" - add "worrying"
I have removed PZP and the problem has resolved, I am using the 5.3 version, does anyone know if the 5.5beta version has this problem?
This sounds similar to my problem, i don't have any extra apps installed apart from TomTom, but i get alarms going off that i set previously and have since deleted! How do i stop them??
Someone cann help me:
1. When I make software reset on my MDAPro (Universal) my Universay all time play alarm - about 20 min and then stoped and
2. After then, when I switch on alarm, then (when alarm played) I canot see message to switch off alarm??? And I canot switch off alarm.
Alarm stoped about last 20 minits.

Try memmaid (search forums for memmaid and alarm for precise solution)
You need to run memmaid and look at the notifications, and delete the "alarm" ones as they have got "stuck"
Yes, I had this problem also. You can perform a hard reset, that will solve it but then you loose all your data and it is a pain! So I spent all day trying to find out how to fix it without doing a hard reset, and here are the results:
1. Open the Clock & Alarms app, and click on the Alarms tab. Make sure everything is unticked and unselected.
2. Install and launch MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/ - Note: MemMaid is shareware that expires after something like 30 days, or you might use another app which allows you to edit the notifications queue), and then press the Jump To softkey and click on the the Notification Queue option.
3. Press the Find Duplicate button, and make sure you say yes to deleting all duplicates.
4. Now you have to scroll through the list slowly, you must find all the ones which have this text in them and check the tickbox: \Windows\clock.exe.
5. Now you have located the rogue alarm notifications and ticked them, press the Delete button and confirm in the next step. Make sure you have NOT ticked/selected any other notifications except the clock.exe ones before you do this step, otherwise it can easily make your phone stop working!
6. Soft reset your device. When it has finished booting, you should notice that it doesn't vibrate madly with alarms for 20 minutes like it used to do before, and you should have a flashing green LED on the right instead of orange
7. Stop using the built-in clock & alarms app if you don't want this to happen again - it is too buggy! Find a replacement alarm app, there are loads of free ones out there!
Thanx all! Specialy to sl9
THANK YOU!!! NOW IS ALL GOOD !
What you mean:
"Find a replacement alarm app, there are loads of free ones out there" (I canot see "there" link for free app).
For all:
Which alarm app you use (whithout bugs) ?
1. SPB Clock
2. Chronos for PPC v. 2.95
3. Phonealarm v 1.52
4. Pocket Clock v. 1.15
or some another app ?
I actually haven't got round to finding a replacement yet, but one thing is for sure: do not use the HTC alarm built-in app any more
I am glad this solution worked for you without hard reset, I could not find anywhere else exactly how to solve this problem so it took me literally a whole day of experimenting - but with good results
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.

After reading a lot I still didn’t find a solution for my problem:
The alarm plays 2 melodies, one of the clock and one of the remembering when the alarm goes off.
Can somebody help my plz, Thx Mad
HD2 Rom: 1.48.404.2 NL, Manila: 2.5.19211619.0, Radio: 2.06.51.07
Had the same problem, i't disappered for me when i disabled the "my location" function.
//Johan
Update:
I'm tired of searching a solution of my problem.
I just install G-Alarm. This is working good for the moment. Together with the patch “12aon Alarm Hack Home Tab.cab” you can access G-Alarm directly on your main page.
Still if someone has a normal solution I still like to know it. So all info related to this topic is welcome.
Now I found this:
and this reg can fix clock problem(only alert notification ring)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications]
"AlertInterrupt"=dword:00000000
Link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610927
Maybe ill will test is later
Any update on this dual alarm ringing?
Mine also plays the Alarm ring (Alarm-Classic) and the Reminders ring (Ring-Buoy)
The Alarm ring is designed to get me up (am) & remind me to take medication (2 x pm) and the reminders a gentle ring in the room for Outlook calander items.
Having both when the Alarm goes off is too much!
I have installed a custom rom and now having no problems.
too late for your solution, yet you need to go into system sound settings, and disable "notification sounds". That can be enough reason for the alarm jingle not to sound at all sometimes, afaik
Hi,
I recently installed CHT 1.7.1 and started getting an issue with my alarms where if I turn it off then on again it adds a new alarm on to the existing one (see screenshot showing 4 of the same alarm). It's as if the phone is storing the alarms in a cache somewhere and recalling them even though I only have the 1 alarm set. Also if I change the time of the existing alarm the original one still goes off even though its not shown in the list of alarms. I have to dismiss each one every time which is getting annoying and don't want my work alarm going off when I have the day off work lol.
I have reported this as a bug on the CHT thread but was wondering if there's a reg edit I can do to clear out all stored alarms so I can reset them?
Thanks for any help
