XDA exec alarm problem

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??

Sometimes with a new SMS doesn't vibrate and/or sound

Hi all,
Sometimes my Touch Dual when gets a new SMS doesn't sound and/or vibrate. Even if I change the profile or do whatever it still keeps the same. If I reboot or just after a time it starts with sound again.... it just happens with SMS received, if I got a phone call it still vibrates and sounds. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

No ideas? Can anyone please help?

Same problem here... can anyone please help?
Most of the time the light goes on and no sound or vibrating... other times it plays a standard sound and not my selected one for SMS receiving...

ya. same to me.. after I upgrade my htc touch dual to WM6.1 and change back to "old sms look" from the regisry.. it cant get any sound at all...
and I was try to go setting-> sound & Notifications - >under Notifications page, the Event part [Messaging:New text message] I was set the wav sound, same to all the MMS setting.. I try to set all the msg to alarm3, but also no sound at all

I've solved my problem by changing the register:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
In this folder the value for SMSAvailable is 0. Change it back to 1!
In a thread I was told to change it to 1 to get conservation style sms, I believe.. never worked

What do you mean with "the new style"? After 5 o 6 SMS sound & vibration vanishes

I've got a such problem on my HTC Diamond

Hi,
when i receive a new message a very little windows appears on lower left side of the home windows. This new stupid one probably replaces the extended normal one which appears when a new sms arrives and the text inside quotes the sms text.
Simultaneously when i set the ring off or vibration mode however the diamond ring with a new sms but at the max volume. It's crazy !!!
I tried to remove the last apps installed but the problem persists.
What can i do?
Thanx

Thanks. This worked for me. I've outline my steps on my Sprint Htc Touch (htc 6.1 rom):
1. in regedit path KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg, change DWORD data existing Decimal value=1 to 0. Perhaps for some people, if existing value=0, then change to
1. Some forums indicated value from SMSAvailable. But I didn't see that entry in my registry. I saw only SMSNoSentMsg under the above path.
2. On tab Settings: Sounds & Notifications\Sounds, check both on Programs and Notifications
3. On tab Notifications: Event\Messaging\New text message, choose an event(s)
After all 3 steps, text message inbound should work. I changed the value in step 1 back to original value of 1. Sound still works. I think step 1 somehow "wakes up" the notification sound config

Notifications Sound Files

Hi all,
Wondered if anybody knows the location of a sound file I'm looking for and haven't been able to find ?
I have Best Reminder installed and have set Alert-Soft as it's reminder tone, and have also set this sound in Settings-Sounds & Notifications-Notifications, as my alert tone for missed calls, new sms,mms,email etc.
So when a new sms arrives for example, windows should make the Alert-Soft sound once, which it does, then Best Reminder should make the sound every X seconds as specified, but everytime the reminder sounds, windows is playing an extra sound as well, I have attached rough recordings of the two so you can hear the difference.
I think windows is playing this because of the missed calls popup it's displaying everytime the sound is played, so I either want to turn off the popup, which would be preferable but I think impossible, or extract the sound file and replace it with a silent version.
The only way I can find to stop it is by unchecking Notifications (alarms, reminders), but this also turns off all other notification sounds, so there is no initial sound when a sms,mms,email arrives, which is obviously no good.
Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.
Thanks Dave.

Found a solution to this in case anyone else is interested :
The file making the sound is \Windows\Alarm2.wav and is also used by some of my other apps, so I didn't want to make it silent.
So I made a silent wave file e.g. I called mine Silent.wav, and place it in \Windows.
Then edit the following registry key HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
By default it's set to \Windows\Alarm2.wav so you just need to change the string value to point to the empty sound file \Windows\Silent.wav, and job done.
As far as I can tell this only changes the sound used for notification popups, I've tried all the other apps I use that use Alarm2.wav and they still use it ok.

Hello,
This is the closest thing I could find to an answer to my issue:
I want never to hear the sound "alarm2.wav" again. I hate it. Every time I want to soft reset, every time i want to add a calendar event from email to my calendar (sometimes i have to do like 20 in a row, and i hear that god-awful sound every time) every time any pop-up notifier message appears.
I changed the value for HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
to \windows\quietest.wav
In fact I went to all the settings and changed anything that was alarm2.wav to something else...
But to no avail. I cannot replace the file with another "alarm2.wav" as this is a ROM file and cannot be edited. I am so surprised that this has proved to be such a challenge! I have been able to customize so many things, I never would have anticipated so much difficulty in changing a simple sound

Strange ringtone problem

Hi All,
I got a ringtone problem recently in my HD, which is quite annoying.
I'm currently using default ringtone with vibration.
After using the machine for 1-2 days, and the memory consumption is over 60%, I found that the ringtone and vibration function will off automatically, and I missed some calls.
Going to the phone options, I try to test the ringtone (both come with HD and some mp3 ringtone I added to), but system popup a message said the ringtone file is corrupted!
Obviously it is not the case, so I run a htcAddict cleanRam utility to free memory.......oh no.....the ringtone & vibration works again!!
I've installed a D3D driver recently, and increase the glyph cache, will it be the cause?

Alarm sounding alarm AND alert!!

This is an odd one. HTC's answer is to do a hard reset but if there is a reg entry or something I would rather try that first.
I have an alarm set with a sound I have placed in the windows directory. That works fine...
But when the alarm triggers it plays my default alert sound almost at the same time as my preferred alarm sound.
Has anyone come across that before?
Cheers
Rus

Yes mine does this - it plays an Alert sound right before the alarm tone rings, i think it's my text message alert sound..
It's not really an issue i guess just a 'quirk' ... doesnt bother me in the slightest..

i saw this on the stock ROM, and there are still quirks to the alarms in later winmo builds.
if you set an alarm from the home screen, i.e. the htc alarm, then go to all settings clocks and alarms alarms tab, you will see the sound changes aren't always carried over.
it doesn't do the dual sound on the later builds, but the settings pages still don't match.

Dual Alarm Sounds
Does no one know if there is a reg hack to cure this?
Having just got my phone set up the way i like it, I dont really want to have to load a new ROM just yet!

I was annoyed by this as well. For me it worked to disable the first entry in settings -> sound+display -> notification sounds. I don't know the exact term on english ROMs but I hope you get what I mean. It's where you set the sound for incoming mails and messages.
