why the hell cant a £500 phone alarm function work??
its proper annoying, i dont see why we should have to buy a alarm app from another site just coz the htc hd2 doesnt work
I know it sucks..... I bought G-alarm that works great. I found a free app that looks like the G-alarm. Here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-klaxon.html
the WM alarm is the same on all WM devices. Just download an app (there are perfectly good free ones like Klaxon) to do what you like.
P.s. use the search next time - this has been discussed at length previously.
i bought g-alarm for the extra features but the default alarm always worked fine for me as a basic alarm. what exactly doesn't work?
For me, the alarm only rings twice, then it stops. I looked but I can't seem to find a setting for "extending" the ringing. I'm a heavy sleeper, so I need this thing to chirp for at least a full minute!

just tested mine and it rings until i stop it. Not really sure what tweak fixed it, but heres my alarm tweaks.
first,
HKLM\system\shell\notification\oem\
in CustomUIDLL, the default value is NotificationLayout.dll
Change that filename to anything that doesnt exist (example NotificationLayout2.dll) and you will get all your snooze options back (5 mins, 10 mins 1 hour 1 day etc etc, , , this is what bsb tweaks does if you choose the 'windows x dismiss' tweak)
secondly, and i think this may be the one,
HKLM\system\shell\notification\oem\reminder
there is a value called EnableAutoDismiss which is probably set to 1. Set that to 0 and try your alarms. Please let me know if this is it, cos it would be one a lot of people would be interested in.
(It could just be that the chef of my rom has fixed it, and it has nothing to do with EnableAutoDismiss, but worth a try, eh?)

hi, i have problems with wizards alarm and i was wondering,
dose any one have or know any good third party alarm clock software?
someone else in another forum here asked a similar question. My favorite bar none is Chronos. I've used it for a year or so and have never once missed an alarm
where do i get this Chronos?
where do i get this Chronos?
Firstly, ever heard of google?
Secondly, don't bother it will not wake up the device from standby so it is effectively useless.....
Says who it won't wake a device out of standby? I use my wizard as an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. After 8 hours it is most definitely in standby.
Agreed, google is your friend, you should be able to find a trial of Chronos on any of the normal pocket pc software sites (handango, pocketgear, etc.)
Try the trial and see if it fixes your problem... I would be willing to bet that it does.
Errmmm,
I have the trial version (so it is the latest and not cracked or illegal); it does not wake the K-Jam out of standby (especially when snooze feature is used). This is also the case for my wife's XDA Mini S as well. Alarms are a well known problem on the Wizard; you must be a lucky one.
Hi,
Give pTravelAlarm a shot...
It's really great... it does wake up the device - and it turns it into an effective alarm clock. Really nice. Using it on all my business travels.
Google pTravelAlarm
Oh, and it also has a today plugin. Great little proggy.

WELL i have installed it. (pTravel Alarm) and it dose not wake up.
the simple way of doing this if anyone wants to use this software is that you use th wizards standard alarm to wake the wizard and then time it to set off after 1 min.
After my hardreset i did not install SPB pocketplus and my wizard never missed an alarm again. Although some people with pocketplus do not experience any alarm trouble i will stay away from it.
Also there is a free program called "check notifications" or something like it. It searches for duplicates/corruptions in your notification database. (probably responsible for the problems)
i'ts a standalone .exe file that you can copy to your ppc and then run from there. I heard it does wonders...
You know what, i will attach it to this post as an extra service

if i remove the duplicate file will take currupt my Wizard?
eeehm i have no clue as to what you're asking here :shock:
But i guess the question is about the notification checker
just run it on your pda,you'll get a list of all your notifications (alarms), it will show the duplicates in red to delete.
the file will not take corrupt your wizard, but don't give your corruption wizard taking of the database :lol:

Chronos... the alarm clock of the gods!
I've been using Chronos on my K-Jam with the original and new ROM and it works a treat, waking me from stand-by, snoozing etc.
check out http://www.activekitten.com/en/games/detail.php?ID=351 for more info and a trial... their support is great as well... let 'em know how you find it for you on your machine
try Mobialarm 3.2 - works for me and plays most types of media files including wma. And its free
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=587
And yes it does come out of standby

This is driving me crazy.
Downloaded, installed and looked really good BUT......
When the alarm goes off and I press dismiss, it just keeps on vibrating.
I cannot stop it NOTHING I have done short of going to my running programs list and KILLING the app stops it vibrating.

not good. it's done that to me, only once on the original (pre AKU2) ROM but I've not seen it do that since. might be worth a support request just to let 'em know

I use mp3alarmpro.net and it wakes my k-jam just fine and without fail..
Best part is you can choose any mp3 or wav file from any folder in your device

How did you download this?
Each time I try their download link it takes me to their site map page.
seems to be broken. have sent an email to the ActiveKittens to find out what's broken! Hopefully they're just releasing v2.9....
Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.
Hello,
I used to have an alarm clock set for 9.25am. I don't anymore. 9.25am appears NOWHERE in WM5 alarm settings. However every day at 9.25am my alarm goes off.
Is there a way to fix this without doing a hard reset? I tried searching the forum but wasn't able to find an answer.
I have an MDA with latest ROM from T-mobile's website.
Thanks!
You need to get the check notifications program.
Theres probably a stray entry in the notifications dB that makes your alarm go off.
Its not available on the developers website anymore, but am sure some kind sole will post it on here for you.

Notifications
Memmaid is another program - u can download it as a trial version to start
with.

You have my sincerest sympathies. My Alpine model has the fun habit of doing the same thing... at 5:30 in the morning. I have absolutely no idea why it does this at seemingly random intervals (but always at the same time). If it carries on for much longer I'l have to hard-reset. But I've spent so much time and energy customising my Alpine and I will lose everything.
Andy
Thank matt1971!
I have used the checknotifications program and was able to remove the 9.25am alarm issue.
Even though this program clearly states that it works only on 2003 OS, I ran it on WM5 and it worked fine.

so after I removed all 9.25am references with CheckNotifications, the alarm still went off today.
Any further suggestions how to rid of this annoying issue?
Same issue
I am having the same issue as well at 6 am, which I set a few weeks ago to pick someone up at the airport. I then changed the clock for that particular alarm setting back to my normal time, 10 am. Now it goes off at 6 and 10.
One other irritating thing I noticed... my "5"minute snooze is only 1 minute.
So I am hoping that the alarm creates little registry values that I can find and destroy! lol
I'll get back if I find anything

total commander?
Can this problem be fixed with total commander?
I don't usualy make requests, because I find it that programmers code what they want more then what others wants, but I might get lucky and some saint comes in here to take a look
So, basically what I'm requesting is a new panel, spesifically an alarm panel. The internal WinMo alarm is to deep in the settings, and the G-Alarm did never work that well for me.
However, might it be possible to use the WinMo alarm, and just show the settings, and such in a panel? That way, you could simply switch to that panel, and have it quicly accessable throught one step when you go to bed.
Or, if thats too much, just add the G-Alarm program as a panel
where do you have problems with g-alarm? i use it every day and never had problems with it

It's not really a problem, I just think its a bit to heavy to be an alarm... And to start it up I get the "volley ball" for a few seconds, when I'm really tierd that also gives me the urge to just forget about the alarm
So, it's just a personal thing, I do find it nice, just bloated. (No offence to those who like it), but I like clean and quick stuff
CantoX1i
I am with you on this one, i really miss a good snooze function on the other alarms!
The one who makes a good alarm panel is a saint
Have you tried the latest version of G-alarm? They have simplified the interface from what it used to be.
I use it, and highly recommend it. Especially now it has been improved.
I am talking about version 1.2. It was a little more complicated before version 1.0.
Its really easy now, to turn of the mazes, or whatever.
Can someone 'hack' the alarms on the tf3d?
It only let us set up 3 alarms ( i think its few ), maybe 6 can fit in the same window.
Come on guys you're expert on these things
Let us have our TP2's with more than 3 pre set alarms.
Thanx in advance
i use the "g-alarm" app, you have to pay for it now but i think version 1.5.1 is the last free one and you can find it if you google search
tnx but i like the original alarm set on tf3d, i think if someone can had more 3 alarm sets it yould be perfect. you wouldnt need other software.
tnx again
Oh, come on. My last WM5 phone only had 1! You really need to be awoken that frequently, you narcoleptic! Just add some notifications to your calendar!
i use klaxon... it integrates into manilla and sits out the way once set up.

Not true, visit www.ageye.de and you can download 2.2 for free.
the winmo alarm is intermittant and does not always work!
Yea! i've been suffering since WM5 from those 3 alarms, would it hurt to add more?
honestly chaps .... give klaxon a go ... it's free, sits outa the way, takes almost no system overhead, and if you dont like it get rid of it....
no i dont work for them, but have been using it for a month and a half with various different alarms set, and am very happy with it.
Download klaxon HERE
Hi Guys,
I have a problem with the alarm on my TP2.
Once I set an alarm on it, and next day change the time or turrn the alarm off, the original alarm still continues to sound.
For eg:
Day 0 - I set alarm for 7 am for Day 1 - it will ring at 7 am
Day 1 - at night I change the alarm to say 715 am - it will ring both at 7 am and 715 am on Day 2
Day 2 - say I disable all alarms - on Day 3 it will still ring both on 7 am and 715 am (and hence spoil my weekend)
has anyone else also encountered this???
Pls help.
I am using unbranded TP2 (Singapore)
ROM 1.19.707.2 (51489) WWE (Even after upgrading the ROM to new SEA the problem persists)
Please help.
Exactly what I was going to create a thread about today!
This is doing my head in. I have to be up all week at 4:15am, so I set my alarm for 7 days. At the weekend, I'm off work, so I turn them off. Low and behold, at 4:15am on Saturday morning I'm awoken by the same alarms.
I used to know of a program or method where you could see a queue of notifications, and you could delete them if you had invalid entries, but I've forgotten it now. I think the TP2 may be making invalid repeat entries to this queue that are not affected by turning alarms on/off in the normal way.
1:55am
Hi all
I am using Klaxon which does not seem to have this problem as it always uses the same WM alarm. However, I don't know whether or not it's related but my phone frequently crashes at 1:55am, hence no alarm. Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Cheers

Alarm problems
I haven an unbranded TP2 and have the same problems for couple of weeks now... I've tried everything. Forst I've written to HTC but they didn't came up with an answer other than trying to keep the phone as clean as possible. They told me it's not a known issue... as while reading through different forums I didn't feel to bee alone !
Reading through the net told me that if you use 3rd party software the problem would be solved, so I bought G-alarm wich seemed to be the best available porgram. It went well for 2-3 weeks when there again my phone missed an alarm in the morning. The alarms do sound the moment I turn the phone on.
I read through the net again to find that the problem would could be due to a notification que wich is too long... I bought another piece of software, SkTools that can clean the notification que and be set to do so daily on automated basis. It went well for 1 week again... Yesterday and today the phone skipped again the wakeup alarms...
Writing to HTC many times didn't help so this afternoon I will try to flash my phone and try the ROM update wich is available on the HTC site. I'm sure the problem will be cured for a couple of weeks... but after? I'll let you guys know...

Hey Kurt,
Just to let you know, I have already flashed the ROM upgrade, but that didn't cure the problem. Do let me know how you fare.
Hey Guys
I have the exact same problem..tried g alarm and sk tools and ROM update - still does not work! - driving me mad - any further ideas / solutions??

Sorry, no solution, but why not file a bug report with HTC or Microsoft?
If we all just keep going around the issues, software makers will never find out about the problems or fixe them.
Just an idea
I did already twice. only answer they gave was to hard reset the device an install no other software... that's why I by one of the world's most advanced phones? I don't think so. They keep telling me it is not a known issue... ?
As dommers and vasra tried the ROM update and it didn't work I'm doubting to go through the pain?
Does any of you have very regular (10 times a day) an error on the opera9.exe file?
Can you guys tell me wich 3rd party software is installed to see if it maybe is something wich is screwed up by 3rd party installation?
Does anybody know if the problem is known in a custom 6.5 rom as I would try one of those? In that case wich is the best and most stable available?
Thx
I think it has to be an HTC / TFO issue...my Kaiser has no issues and is same software/notification queues..i have found HTC to be very arrogant on the phone..but i will log a few calls with them ..maybe you guys could too...and they may start to look at it..
i spoke to HTC - they were ,quite frankly, useless. I informed them of the problem and after going through a load of useless checks that the alarm was on they said they would put feedback down but he wasn't sure it would get to the developers. Complete waste of time. Makes me think of buying an iphone. At least that works. grr...

use windows alarm not touchflo 3d
hi guys,the problem is that you use touchflo 3d's alarm setting,right?
let me tell you,touchflo 3d alarm doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so just save your time,dont use it, it's useless,i dont know what is problem with rom designers.
The real working alarm is windows own one,go to settings---sounds and notifications---notifications---events----(pull down)reminder.
At last,if you want to use your own mp3 music as alarm sound,pls create \Storage card\My documents,copy all your mp3 into My documents folder.

Pocket Mechanic allows you to examine & optionally clean up the notification queue: I used to get a similar thing on my XDA IIi way back in the day

My alarm (set under TF3D) works great.
You are lucky you don't have an iphone, that damn thing used to make me late all the time.
I had this problem with my kaiser.
After a week that I go crazy, I founded that the problem caused by an early version or iGo8.
Are you using iGo8?
If yes, update it.
Custom ROMs
The problem also occurs in all custom ROMs...I have tried them all...NRG, RoMeOS, Miri etc.
I'm pretty sure this is a Windows issue. I used to see it on my Titan, particularly when I would change time zones.
What I would do on the Titan was to use Memaid to remove the classic time based notifications (which are your alarm settings), and then regenerate them. Worked like a charm!
if you use sk tools to clear notifications que automatically at 00:30, that should solve the problem

Same here. Got my TP2 yesterday and instantly flashed EnergyROM, and it woke me up just as I expected it this morning.
But reading this thread now kinda makes me worry I'll be late for work tomorrow... Or being kicked out of the bed on saturday...
Well, I guess I'll just hope it works.
My xv6800 did that alarm thing. Clearing the duplicates from the notifications que fixed it. good luck,
