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.

How to : Delete an alarm in the Win Mobile standard screen

Hello everybody
I'm sure I'm a bit dummy but I can't remove 3 alarms from the standard screen of WinMo 6
I click on the clock
I Choose alarm
There, I've got 3 items but no way to delete it. And there is also 2 alarms that come from G Alarm and had been removed from it (deleted in G alarm but stil in winmo standard alarm app).
help is welcome.
Thanks a lot

How do you mean? I don't think you can delete them. You can deactivate the alarms by unticking the box to the left of each alarm.
As for myself, I would rather have the opportunity to add MORE alarms. Three is better than the ONE measly alarm in WM5, but really... I don't understand why they don't let us add alarms as we please. It's not like it's hard to implement or anything (reminds me of how Bill Gates once once predicted the need for RAM: "640K ought to be enough for anybody").

The thing is that I come from palm and don't know the real working of alarms in WinMo
The problem that I see is if I use too much Galarm, will I have x alarms unwanted in the standard alarm app and won't be able to delete them.
I don't like unused entries on my pda.
Thanks

More then 3 alarms?

Hi.
How can I get more then 3 different alarms on the HD2 :S? Seems stupid not to have more.

KLAXON
I use an awesome alarm program called Klaxon.
Give it a Google!

I agree... best choice you will not be disappointed

Definitely buy G Alarm. There is also a hack on these forums so it opens from the the alarm tab on the home screen.
Amazing program. Can set alarms for anything.

I found that if I turn off the HD2, the alarm not working when times come...?
I just over slept because of this.

More then 3 alarms
Currently you have 3 alarms.
Is it possible to change some parameter in the registry from the hd2 to change the count of alarm clocks displayed ?
Can any one tell me ?
thanks

Alarm Clock, simple with MP3?

Hi All,
Had my Desire for a couple of days now and I am well pleased. Except,
I would like to find a simple Alarm Clock app that supports
MP3 as sound
Vibrate
Snooze
And a way to turn it off
Basically, you all remember the old radio Alarm clocks everyone had, You set your time, you set your radiostation and you fell asleep.
It had a MASSIVE snooze button on top and an off button on the side.
That's what I want.
I've tried looking through market but 8 of 10 have a review saying "Does not ring at all" and well. If I see that in a review it's out straight away.
Thank yuo kindly for any help given.

the built in alarm allows snooze and vibrate as well as turning it off - not worked out how to get it to link into mp3 yet like you could on the G1

GOT IT!
If I set any of my MP3s as a ringtone it then comes up in the list of choosable music in the standard alarm as well....
But you need to have actually SET IT as you ringtone once first...

How about make a folder on the SD root called "alarms" and put mp3's in that? This is my first Android phone and even i figured that one out lol.

Just make folders like these.
Ringtones:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
SMS Alerts:
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Alarm Alerts:
/sdcard/media/audio/alarms

Or they can be on the SD cards root like mine.

How did you manage to work out that??

Are there any apps similar to G-Alarm on Windows Phone?
Ie with multiple alarms, random mp3, weather, calculation/maze tasks, tilt/shake sensor, speech, etc.
More info here: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about

I've found the alarm exact u are finding, just search Alarming at Market. I'm quite satisfied with it. Shake to snooze feature I most like

you don;t need the \media\audio\ at the start.
just shove the ringtones, notifications and alarms folders in the root of the card.

hi everybody. I ve found a lot of alarm apps on the market, but none could wake up my phone and thus me then .
Q: is there any timer-application that is able to turn the phone on -for alarm purposes while it is off, when i sleep ?
if there would be any app of this self-turn on in a specified time of a day, that would solve my buzzer problems.
sorry for that noobish question I am new using smartphone.

I'm looking for an alarm program that chooses randomly in an mp3 folder for the alarm.
I couldn't find anything like this for the moment.

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.
