Alarm is not set, yet still goes off!!!

I have a problem. The alarm time is not set, yet every morning at 9:45am, my alarm goes off. In the alarm program, no days are selected, and none of the 3 alarms are turned on. Why is this MDA beeping like crazy every morning at 9:45??? I've tried soft resetting, but for the past 3 days, it still goes off

It had the same problem, I once set the alarm at a certain time, disabled the alarm but it kept going off each day. I was unable to find the cause of this.
It did not searched futher because I was intending to change firmware at that time, of course It was gone atfter that.
What kind of software are you using, maybe we had similar stuff running.

you probably have some undeleted notification duplicate in Wizard's system and all you need is CheckNotifications:
http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/checknotifications.zip
run it on Wizard and look for entry which might look like your 9:45am alarm and delete it. should work.

I don't have much software installed. Just SPB Pocket Plus, XDA RegWizard, OpenNETCF, and Flash Player. It's pretty much stock other than a few skins.
EVA_D, again I run into problems. I'm a mac user, and we only use macs at the recording studio, so I can't install the .exe file. Can you possible install it on your computer, and then post a .cab file for me??
Ahh this is a nightmare....Luckily the past few days I've had to get up early, but usually I work til 2am, 4am, sometimes even 6am (At a recording studio), so a lot of times I don't fall asleep until 8am, and if I get woken up at 9:45 because of this, I will probably crush the phone in the palm of my exhausted hand...

anyone??

Here is the check notifications exe taken from my device - just run it on your device should work.
If that does not work i will post memaid to you from my device.
If nothing works then its hard reset time - then use a different alarm, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43692

That doesn't work. I emailed the exe to my phone, but it wont install. I need the cab file. Can you post the cab that is extracted from the exe?

Strange works on my device without a cab install.The exe is a standalone exe not an install exe. Sorry dont have cab for it

Ahh, I didn't realize it was an actual app, and not an install file. It's loaded up, and I have 472 events, which the app says is very high. So how does this work?? Am I supposed to clear ALL events??
Does the MDA store ALL the event information from the day it was turned on? It seems so because 472 seems to be a lot. Is this a bug on the MDA that may cause it to run slow? What (if any) are the effects of clearing ALL events? Will this basically be a reset pf the phone and require me to set up my mail, proxy, and other information again, or does it just deal with notifications and whatnot?

NO! not ALL! get into Options -> settings, check both boxes -> OK. then tap 'Clear' button on top of main screen. number of notification should reduce significantly (in my case it's about 15-20 after clearing). some notifications are essential for running system and should never be deleted.

Wow, 472? I think I have 13. You definitely need to do some spring cleaning there.

if i delete them ALL what is the end result?

If you check both boxes and then delete it wont delete your important notifications just the duplicates etc....

i have the same problem but i cant find any alarm times - help!

Hi,
the same problem with my mini s, but new info. I remember that I have set a notification at 1:00PM someday last week, and it was good. after that, It keeps notifying everyday at 1:00PM and I cant find any entries in the notifications or tasks.
I used the program posted above, but it did not show any alarms set at 1:00PM.
Stupid wizards,
Any help?

taking the duplicates off certainly worked as no alarm this morning YAY thanks guys x

mee 2, was waiting for the alarm at 1:00PM, but id did not fire today. Happy alarms!

Display turns on each day at midnight.

Is that normal?

Your phone is possessed by an evil spirit lol
just joking, but seriously..have look whether youv set any alarms by accident. iv done that before.

well i have the only alarm at 6.45 am set by another program, nothing more, the fact is that it just turns on without any alarm song neither event

looking at the notification que, there are two events scheduled at 12am each day
\windows\manilaactivatetoday.exe
and also \windows\calupd.exe
Assume this is to update the calender. Whether this turns the display on - i cant tell you....

let me guess, your using G-Alarm. Although i havnt used G-Alarm iv done some research for you.
According to this site where G-Alarm is hosted http://www.ageye.de/
there is a windows alarm bug that causes this
heres what the site said you should do
"Don't wakeup at midnight
Because of the Windows alarm bug, G-Alarm wakes the device at midnight so Windows Mobile can rebuild its notification queue. If you turn this off by inserting or changing following line in your settings.xml, it may happen that an alarm doesn't go off:
<MidnightWakeUp>False</MidnightWakeUp>"

uhm i have galarm installed but actually using ptravelalarm, and when i first started up galarm, it said me about a sort of bug which i had no clue about, so i let the program to fix it. So let me understand, do i have to modify settings.xml to disable midnight wake up or i have to leave it in peace?

u must take a risk of being late if u disable it

I noticed this also, although not at midnight or any particular time and not consistently either. It seemed to be syncing with my exchange or at least everytime it did it my emails and appoints and such were all resynced and refreshed.(I have it set for "as items arrive") Funny thing tho is it only lights up the screen occasionaly when doing this. Also it seems to be a rare occurrence maybe once a day. Not a big deal at this point.

Microsoft MyPhone
Mine does exactly the same and I think I narrowed it down to when I have Microsoft MyPhone set to sync.

Auto data connection disconnect

Helo my beloved community!
So, since the HD2 utilizes quite a lot of the data connection quite frequently (mostly for weather updates), it would be good to have an option to disconnet the data connection automatically. I presume that this is probably a registry hack. This feature can be found for example in TD2/TP2 Tools. I don't want to wait until HD2 Tolls (or Tweaks or something else) shows up (I hope it will quickly because its always something very welcome!), so maybe someone could answer quickly where to tamper with the registry to do that?
Thx in advance!

any update on this?
my gprs doesnt shutdown when its not being used

thanks for the reply but ive installed the cab and restarted but it doesnt seem to do anything

I just did the mentioned reg edits but it didn't seem to work. Then installed the cab to countercheck for my mistake. Didnt change the result, didn't work...
Even though I noticed the CacheTime setting existed from the start and was set to 600 (10 minutes).
SuspendResume original value was "~GPRS!"
Data charges are not so much the issue, I'm just concerned it might drain the battery quicker if the connection remains open permanently.

Try to do the regedits like this:
SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime=5 (decimal)
VPNCacheTime=5 (decimal)
It works on my TD2, which to my knowledge has the same WM6.5 as the HD2 does. By the way, did You set the end call button long press to "terminate data connection"? If You did, then UNDO it

Right, You can't check it, as none of the HD2's hardware buttons are configurable Just ignore that question. Anyway, I think Ive figured it out to some point. It looks like the registry hack works whenever the phone connects to the web to for example browse the internet or update stocks. But it DOESN'T WORK if the phone connects to download weather updates. It looks like the Sense weather app is somehow preventing the data connection to shut down. But I think it only happens when automatic weather updates downloading is set.

hmm you do appear to be correct... now why is the weather app hanging onto the data session

Well, just tried setting both CacheTime and VPNCachetime and when checking mail I can confirm it works.
Thanks a lot! Mail checking schedule set up.

absolutely no idea I think someone smarter than us should try to find the answer. Ive already done a rather brief look around the registry and tried to find something that would get the weather app such privileges but with no success. Im thinking of addressing a new topic about that, so its more visible to the community

Twitter app doesn't close the data connection either

This is really annoying me. My battery was draining fast and could not find out why. Now I have found out that it is because I am constantly connected to Mobile Web on O2. I have tried terminating it but it starts again. Even after unchecking auto update for weather and twitter it still turns on and never off. I have mail set to download automatically but if i turn that off too then what is the point of having this phone and feature?
I have tried the setting in HD Tweak app to turn off data after 1 minute but noy joy.
Any help? Pleaseee.

Theres one more thing you should check out. The biggest connection-demander was always the NOT PROPPERLY CLOSED OPERA. If you use the opera browser, be sure to close it NOT with the X in the upper right corner, but through Opera Menu->exit function. If you close it with X, it only goes minimized and does not shut down the connection. Even if you close it, because opera is still running, after some time it will want to refresh a page and conect again. Thats why you have the imression that the phone connects by itsself. Thats not the phone, its opera

Also as stated, weather, opera etc will keep your data connection active...so end task and it should shut down a few seconds later.

I have installed a shortcut to taskmgr in my quicklinks - so if i see something constantly running i end task...it shuts it down rather than minimising it which is what happens when you hit the little X in most cases. The taskmgr tip is in the sticky at the top of the page.

Yes I know what you mean but you can't kill the weather app or twitter in this fashion as they run within Sense itsself. Besides, killing processes is not the point. The point is to have an automatic data disconnection, so you dont have to do or kill anything

Hey guys,
Can any one tell me what the VPN cache time was originally set as?

Time zone keeps automatically switching.....

....it's happened a few times already in the last two hours. It keeps switching to "Pacific", then I switch it back to "Central"...it stays that way for a while then auto switches back to "Pacific" for no apparent reason.
This happen to anyone else?

This is happening to me too. Anyone else? Fix?

Do you have bsb tweaks? it has a feature to auto sync clock according to timezone.

His problem is the change to the Wintertime. Since them the clock always is one hour later.
I have the same problem and no solution .
I would like to stop the automatic time change.

Well they're slightly different because of the HTC Sense and the Windows version, but in the Mini the steps are:
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".

I have an issue with the clock as well... Ai just got the phone yesterday.
Actually, during the day at the office, the time changes several time by one hour forward... so suddenly after the time was OK in the morning, around 5 PM it showed 11 PM. What do I need to change so the time stays the same? (in the night it went back by one hour, so the alarm woke me up one hour earlier than it should have...wrrr ;-)

BSB tweaks
I am using BSB tweaks, there is option Auto sync clock - just switch off this parameter, it working perfectly. Milan

Actually, when I am at home and have athe autosync on, the time does not change. As soon as I am moving around, the time changes (even though the auto sync is off then). It seems that it changes when the network changes while moving around. When travelling in roaming this weeknd, the time moved forward by 26 hours in just one hour while travelling in a bus.

Thanks, but that's the same solution posted above. What we are trying to fix now is how can we have the time sync activated
bagalk, mine hasn't gone that far, but is definitely a nice bug from HTC. I wonder it the clock will work properly when they change the time again in March or April

solution
As a colleague was having the same problem I looked around for a solution. Having found nothing that appeared to work I looked to the HD2 which runs a similar software setup. This is what I found (I can't post the URL so must simply copy & paste from the original page)
Hey kids
This was irritating me too, I assumed it was not a phone issue but, I contacted HTC yesterday & their reply is as follows, there are 2 steps to perform. I did this last night & so far the phone has been perfect:

Dear Stuart
This is not a fault with the device or its software, your device updates its time automatically from the Internet and from your mobile provider.
Occasionally there is a difference in the time from the Internet and the time from your provider which can cause the time to appear to be changing when it should be the same.
Normally this will resolve itself within a few days, however, this is very inconvenient so we recommend to disable any automatic time updates on your device.
This will not effect your sync with other things like Exchange and similar
From the Home screen tap:
Start - Settings - Data services - Time synchronization - Untick all here.
AND
Start - Settings - Menu - All settings - Personal/Private - Phone - GSM & UMTS Services - Time synchronization - Get settings - Untick all here.
Sincerely,
Adrian
HTC

Hello Dear
there is same problem whit manila weather background ! when it goes dark,weather background dos not change,that shows sun instead moon...??

there's an update on the HTC official mini support page, it supposedly fixes the problem with daylight saving. haven't tried it yet though
