Hello,
I am new on Windows Mobile, coming from Nokia 9500, so I feel a little bit stupid, because maybe I did something wrong.
So when I set a reminder in the calendar I hear nothing any more, neither a notification... abslutely nothing.
The reminders on Outlook on the PC just work normally on the same appointments.
Settings:
[email protected]:
Events : on ---- Programs + Notifications : on
Screen taps and hardware buttons :| off
Tab notifications, Event: reminders: Plays sound : on Alarm1
Dislplay message on screen and flashlight both are on
I did a soft reset, and I played a little bit with different sounds when the problem seemed to have begun.
When the PC however does the alarm it nicely switches the alarm off in the Jasjar.
My phone is quite useless without a calendar warning.
Huib
My Jasjar becomes quite useless without an agenda that warns
Nobody has a clue?
I can set the agenda but nothing happens. The time just passes but no warnings whatsoever.

Oh hell, sounds like the alarm bug may be making an appearance on WM5...that would be DISASTEROUS.
Do this for us; download trial version of Pocket Mechanic (www.antontomov.com) and go to the notifications queue module. Click the button marked "Dup" or "duplicates" and tell us if it found any dups, and if so what they are (they will be tagged and yellow).
Just in case it's a stupidly simple thing, check the following;
- Can u play the alarm1.wav file from file explorer?
- Are you DEFINITELY setting a reminder for each agenda entry
- Is this reminder set to go 0 minutes before (ie don;t set a reminder for 5 mins time with an alarm for 30 mins before)
- settings>sounds¬ifications>alarms>ticked
- Volume not 0: turn volume to 0 then back up again

I may do the antontomov later.
yes I can play alarm1.wav from file explorer.
OK: appointment duration from 16:00 till 16:05
alarm ( " reminder" it is called) 5 minutes before..
at the settings I ticked the Reminder event on play sound and repeat.
I do not see a volume option however.
I see options for flash light ( did never work) and vibration ( the same) I have the feeling it is not so much a sound problem as a problem that nothing is triggered when the moment is there.

Calendar Reminders confusing!!
I find this calendar thing pretty confusing too. I came to the conclusion that the reminder comes in the form of an on-screen notification and not an alarm, which seems pretty stupid, as you don't want to keep pulling your phone out to see if you have any appointments! :?
I hope I'm wrong, but could someone more knowledgeable in this area please clarify how to get an audible reminder in conjunction with an on-screen one please. And for the record, I know how to set a basic alarm, I just need to be reminded by sound or vibration of my appointments, else I can't get the true benefits of a personal digital assistant!
Wont modifying the "Reminders" settings in the notification tab of "Sounds and Notifications" do it for you???

I am sure it gave me an audible alarm before I ran into problems. Of course the agenda can warn you if working properly; also with a flash light even(!) or vibrato.

Well to be honest.... I have managed to get sound working on it before...I just can't remember what I did! :lol:
Please, if anyone has the time please explain how I get an alarm to ring in conjunction with the on-screen reminder. For example, when I go go into the calendar app and see the time slots for any given date, I assumed you could simply enter what you wanted reminding of, in that particular timeslot, and then choose to be reminded every 2 hours or something!!??!! I'm a bit perplexed by this. My SE700i worked in this fashion and I never got to grips with the PPC way of doing this. The bloody manual doesn't explain this either!

You're absolutely right about how to set the reminder, but the type of reminder (sound, message, vibrate) is set in Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Change Event to "Reminders" and see what the settings are? Give it a go, I'm sure you must have "Display message on screen" ticked and "Play sound" unticked?

Thanks for thinking about my problem but I checked those settings out very prcisely.
I have ticked: play sound and repeat. I also have the display message ticked. I Use Alarm1 to keep it simple.
It is however possible that here is where the problem started.
Other problem, maybe related, is, that the phone ringtone sound can sometimes change in the last installed personal ringtone.
I changed it back of course.
I have a lot of people given a ringtone with their name in it, to take away the need of opening to see who is calling.
instead of a sound I record : this is John etc etc. But of course not new to your guys.
Works great, but sometimes my phone ring changes in e.g. " peter calling" as main ring tone.
But in the calendar case there is not even a reminder on the screen. The phone is just no triggering at all.

Oh....baffled then. Sorry!

Nope all are checked! I'll look into it more seriously later today and post my findings back here. Thanks for your help. :lol: :x :? 8)
SOunds like hard-reset time dudes!
Just in case you think it's a missing feature that you have to live with, it's not: the calendar DOES alarm for every reminder, provided you set that. You get an on-screen notification and sound - depending on your settings. Further, this can be defaulted so that every new appointment does this without you having to think about it. Exactly the same as all previous PPC devices.
I had the same problem.
Hard reset is the only solution...
Be carefull what s/w you install on Jasjar!

This will be my first reset in Windows world ever.
Any tips and hints what to take care of before pushing the button?
I come from Nokia 9200 and up and there was a great backup facility before you hard reset.
As backup software is not available: Any tips and hints on what to write down before I do it?
I also saw that Windows may come with separate upgrade software.

The only s/w i had was the ewallet.
Get rid of it and reset. Now try if it works.

You meant soft reset or hard reset?
I presume hard reset, because after several soft resets without ewallet I still have the problem.

See 'Help' application for Reminders in Calendar!!
Stupid me! There's an in depth guide on hoe to use the calendar with Reminders in the 'Help' application on the Jasjar. Too many options for my liking, just confusing matters. basically, alot of the options are for syncing purposes and if no else has access to your PC, it really won't matter wether you set-up categories or not, unless you need your contacts etc grouped.
Bottom line, buy an easier to use application.
Alarm bug? What's that?
Some time ago I installed and played a NES emulator on my xda for a few hours wearing the headset, and after that two things happened; Sound didn't work, it got permanently stuck on headset mode (I fixed that) and 2), the clock disappeared from the upper menu bar, never to return. Alarms didn't work (at all) from that point either. Prior to this it had worked 90% of the time, with some mysterious exceptions that I think maybe your "alarm bug" could explain.
Problem #1
Tapping the Start Menu does not product any clicking sound (unlike WM5 and WM 2003SE). While the Start Menu is displayed, clicking any item in it also does not product any clicking sound. Is this the correct behaviour? Anyway, I found the MenuPop.wav in Windoes folder.
Problem #2
The Alarm1, Alarm2, Alarm3, Alarm4, Alarm5 comes in different format where Alarm1, Alarm3 and Alarm4 are in WMA while Alarm2 and Alarm5 are in WAV. Weird huh?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replied.

Hi,
Previously with WM5 and WM 2003SE, even when the "Enable sounds for Screen taps" is not enabled, clicking the Start Menu will play a clicking sound. Clicking on the item in the Start Menu will also play a clicking sound. The sound played is not the same as the sound played for screen taps.
Thanks.
i have the exact same problem as u had ...... any solution ? and i found out is kinda slower compare when using wm5
No solution yet. Hah ha... it kinda weird when you tap the Start button and no sound is produced... well that if you have used WM2003 and WM5 for years.

No settings here. Convert your mp3 file into wav. Then just copy-paste your new file in windows folder. You will find the new desired audio file in alarm settings.
Hope I was useful.
You can simply go to the "Music" Touch Flo tab and then select the lower left button "library".
Select a song and click the "Menu" button. There you will find an option to use the song as ring tone.

I really want to change alarmclocksounds but it always uses "default" sound, it happend after i converted a mp3 song to wav and placed it in windows map.
How do i change sound to my converted song?
Is there some other program that i can use for setting alarmclock?
search for Galarm, much more customizable better than stock alarm. It's Donateware, dislike the math problems option for shutting off alarm though brain don't function well at 3 am LOL.

Sorry I just now noticed your post. To change the alarm sounds, go to Settings>Clock & Alarms (depending on your ROM) and click on the bell icon.
How change system waring sound?
I have fu#%ing annoying sound, like alarm clock instead default "beep" sound. I don't now what in my kitchen changing this sound (I tried everything, checked any EXT Package)
I using:
osKitchenZero 1.33.5
WM 6.5.5 bulid 23563
You can disable the alarm beep in Settings => Sounds & Notifications => Uncheck alert on system events
If you want another sound, you should replace the .wav file in the \\Windows directory that corresponds to your "beep"-sound

You couldn't find it? That's maybe because "Show all files" was unselected in File Explorer?
