Hi Guys,I have a question :
I have my xperia with MR2 since I bought it a month a go.For me its very important Alarm. When a had my previous phone K850i it was very easy to switch off the phone and without problem I know my alarm will ring even if the phone its switched off. I have tried a different ways not to switch the phone(with the the network switched off, in silent mode etc..)without success in this x2. Only I can guarantee alarm will ring in this cases if the phone its on charger, but not again if the phone its switched of. I have seen here in this forum some people asking about this and rated as a bug. Is there any solution or different alarm aplication, because I would like my phone switched of to save battery and relax in best possible way without thinking my phone will not wake me up. Please help.

No WM device will play alarm when switched off.
It's normal.
Just put your phone to FlightMode in the night.

to be more precise almost no smartphone (if none at all), wm or not, will work when switched off.
It's funny: that question was the question n1 on the days of his majesty the p800, now after 8 years of smartphones the question is still live and kicking..

Thanks for the replay and help.I have tryed this way,but when i switch on a flight mode and my phone normaly its setup to go on stand by after a minute the alarm will not ring,even if I disable the stand by mode at some point during the night the screen its going off.Or some times if i leave the stand by disable,and setup the brightness of the screen to the lowest level then the alarm will ring but then the batery its duying very quickly.Any other solution or I have to except it like that.Thank you again.

I have no idea what is the problem.
My X2 -> flight mode, set the alarm, screen off, go to sleep
X2 rings in the morning without a problem.

Thanks mate again. I’ve been following quite allot of your comments and I can see you know well windows mobile OS. So far with some exceptions I am happy with x2,but you know there is no perfect phone. I have to know about another two issues about this OS.I don’t know whether is normal with WinMo , but with my previous Sony Ericsson I use to see if I want to only contacts stored in the phone or in Sim.Here with x2 I can see contacts in both places(Yes there is the way to sort that-while in phonebook-Menu>Filter and so on),but when you try to go back to the contacts you can see the same story. Also with sms in inbox you can see as well your messages stored in your sim card. Why is that is there any way you can setup when accessing the phone book to see only contacts stored in the phone memory without going to menu and then filter. And as well for my sms,I don’t want to see my messages from the sim straightaway .Is there any different explorer for that or any apps.Thank you allot.

I don't have any sms on SIM so no idea.
As for contacts looks like others also complain about not beeing able to hide SIM contacts. I have no clue...
for the contacts problem you can try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315818
Use a registry editor and locate the following key:
Hkey_Current_user\Control Panel\Phone\ShowSim
Set to 0 to hide SIM contacts, 1 to show SIM contacts.

Hi guys,
i have a newly bought qtek 9000 and I don't know if its broken. Here the problems:
- when the phone rings the ringtone doesn't play fluidly. Sometimes it hangs as if "there where some scratches in the CD"
- when the phone was quite a long time in standby and I answer the phone, the caller doesn't hear anything that I am saying for about 1 or 2 sec.
- when i eject the sd card the phone reboots.
Are these known bugs or is the phone broken.
thanks in advance
I have the same problem, missed a couple of phone calls because of that.
- It seems there is a delay of 2-3 rings before you actually hear the ringtone when the Exec is in standby mode.
- Also I noticed that it takes significantly longer to display the photo you've just taken in the camera mode.
Thinking to revert back to O2 corp. mode.
well actually I'm answering almost immediatly. The problem is that the other person doesn't hear anything I'm saying. The connection althought is already established.
Does anybody have a solution for this bug. Is there a registry tweak? Or an rom update? This is really an annoying bug.
did you install other software?
if so witch one
Actually not, just Agenda Fusion.
Actually this seems to be minimized if using GPS instead of UMTS.
If I have made a soft reset before and I'm using GPS I can answer immediatly. If I'm using an UMTS connection instead, I have to wait for about 2-3 seconds to begin talking.
Try to disable PowerSave, just use the closing of the camshell to powerdown the Universal. This is what I had to do to make sure I did not miss calls with my Exec in Corp mode (original ROM).

I think you mean GPRS, not GPS. I also have a Qtek9000 and don't seem to get this problem, have you tried hard resetting and installing nothing and see if the problem is still there? Or as you say it only happens when you are "using" UMTS, does this mean you are surfing the web while you get the phone call that has the delay?
Just curious as I hope I don't have the same bug, too.

That is totally not suppose to happen. Do you mean your whole device soft-resets? Or the phone application? Either way, sounds really strange!
well, actually the whole device reboots.
Someone told me it depends on the apps that are installed on the card, but I'd still hadn't any time to check whether it doesn't happen with an empty card. As soon as I do that I will post my achievement.

I used to have my device always HARD RESET when I tried installing SPB Pocket Plus in Memory Card. Et even hard resets my ipaq h6340 when I install it in the FileStore.

I now have the push email up and running but I can't seem to get my device to wakeup when I have new mail. I have to keep turning it on to see if I got new mail or not. This can be very annoying. Is there any way around this?
I have looked in notifications and under "new email message" I have it selected to display on screen and vibrate. What else do I need to change?
Hi DanITman,
I've got the same problem here.
With my HP6340 this works perfectly so when I bought the wizard I expected the same, but not.
Seems to me that active sync can’t wake up the wizard even if you change the registry to wake up WLAN after standby.
So if there is someone else who could help as that would be much appreciated.

I have no problem getting mail while in sleep mode. I just want it to notify me when I do receive mail by waking up and vibrating. Or stay in sleep mode and just vibrate. I would be happy with that. I just think that the push email is useless unless I get notified when an email comes in so I can respond promtly. I'm glad to see others are having the same problem and hopefully a fix will come out soon.
So if I understand you correctly your device can receive e-mail when it's in standby?
Do you use GPRS or WLAN for push e-mail?
I think you might have checked notification under sounds in the settings screen?

I use GPRS/EDGE for all of my email. ActiveSync works fine in sleep mode. However, when mail does arrive I don't know it until I turn my device back on manually, making the whole push email thing useless because i still have to check to see if I have received new mail or not. Under notifications I have it set to vibrate and show on screen when new email arrives (which it does) but only if its not in sleep mode or once I turn the device on manually it will begin to vibrate to tell me new mail has arrived.
Sorry can't help you with this one mate.
But you’re right, why no notification when your device is in standby.
Seems to me that there is no difference i notification between receiving an SMS or E-mail when you use push e-mail.
Maybe a bug in the test rom?
We will se when there is an official one.
Same issue here. Was never an issue using the old psuedo-push sms system with the old ROM.
Anybody know what the effect of never going into full standby mode would be on the battery? In other words, the screen backlight off but never in standby?

I have never been able to get this to work even when I had ActiveSync set to sync every 5 minutes with the old ROM. It wasn't a problem if you used the old SMS push system because the sms would wake the device up. I was hopeing it was my fault and I was missing a setting but it seems its happening to everyone. Its a pain in the ass.
I did some testing and found out that I can get it to play a sound in standby mode when I have a new email but it won't vibrate. Since my device is only syncing when told too by the server I am going to see if I can get it to vibrate at the end of an activesync and that could possible work.
Setting ActiveSync to vibrate after its finished doesn't work either. Even when the device is on
I was hoping that the "Wake Up to Full Power Mode" tweak in Tweaks2k2 might solve this one, but alas no go. Bummer.

Thanks for trying that. I think MS needs to get this figured out if they want these devices to be BlackBerry killers. Push email is useless if I don't know that I have email the minute it comes in.
this may not help, but it's worth a try......
i put my Wizard (with the new Rom) into a car cradle which is always powered..........therefore the unit is always on.........if the current program on screen is Inbox, then new email coming in does not sound the notification sound.......
if Inbox is running in the background or not at all, then i get the notification sound.......
so........ i tried at home both methods and even when switched off, Inbox needs to be running in the background and not the current program for the sound to notify in an off/standby state
but........ i do get sound notification in standby as long as it is running in the background (ie, when you switch it on, Today screen or Phone or any other app is the 1st thing that greets you)
i regularly get the sound going off through the evening whilst in standby mode....
I know it doesn't solve you problem, but Goodlink got it right.
I will get sound and vib while the unit is in stand-by.
you would thing MS would be able to do the same...
I assume its a glitch that will be fixed soon. Does anyone know where in the registry notifications are kept? I would like to do some searching to see what I can find.
Same problem...
I have the very same problem. Had it before the AKU2 ROM and still have it now. I have taken to using MortSaver and never putting the device in standby...battery doesn't seem affected. Still, rather have this working like it's supposed to out of the box...hope someone can find a solution!

Thanks. I am going to try this -- do you know if the program, which I assume is running in the background all the time, has any impact on device performance?
I have the Cingular 8125 and I love it, but I also have the same problem. I have Goodlink installed and if my device is sleeping it will not vibrate when emails come in. It will make the sound but no vibration. I am currently using Mortsaver for now to keep the device running with the screen off, so that I can feel the vibration and know that I have received an email.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Can anyone verify if this has been fixed in the new Kjam ROM. I don't want to upgrade until this gets fixed. The qtek test ROM is working really well.

I still can't believe that MS has screwed this seemingly fundamental feature up.
In any event, the workaround I am trying at the moment involves the new version of AEPButtons plus. Using this program, I set a double click PIE button action to turn the screen off. In settings, I have unchecked the "Turn Device off after" button so the device never goes to sleep. When I holster or put down my K-jam, I double click the PIE button to turn off the screen and save battery life/prevent accidental key presses. Since the device never truly goes to sleep, the email notifications still come and I get the vibrate telling me an email has arrived. At night or when I don't want notifications, I press the power button. It's not a perfect solution, but it seems to work OK and I don't seem to be missing as many emails coming in.
Hi guys, please help save my sanity, I use my T-Mobile MDA as my alarm clock in the mornings and have done so since I got it on Ebay about 4 months ago.
The problems started this morning though, when the alarm activated it didn't give me the option to cancel with the left soft key or snooze with the right soft key - it just kept going....and going....and going!!!!! Even after a soft reset.....so I turned it off and removed the battery, refitted the battery and turned it on and the alarm started to go again... and again... and again I managed to stop it after a while but I dont know how because I'd restarted it and soft started it and switched off the alarms so many times I lost track of what I did!
Then this afternoon when I disconnected the MDA from my PC at work it locked out (it does this quite frequently - a different problem but still annoying though) I normally fix this by carrying out a soft reset, which I did....then the bloody alarm thing started all over again EVEN THOUGH THE ALARMS WERE ALL DISABLED, 45 minutes of mucking about again and now it has finally stopped again....please please please can anyone suggest how I fix this cos if I can't the phones going in the bin - I mean the unit is a useful little business tool but its got lots of problems that make it a pain in the as* sometimes. I dont know what software its running or anaything like that cos I'm not sure where to get these details - sorry.
Many many many thanks in advance.

use clear_notify.exe and remove duplicates of "clock" events.
or
check_notifications.exe
Try to use SPB Time http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en , they did have few bugs with their alrm system, but in this new version they have rectified all the bugs, and it is really working fine, keep it in mind that once u use any other software for alarm then DO NOT use the basic windows alarm. SPB Time has also got a nice ScreenSaver functionality with your own picture support.
GoodLuck

No problem - i have tried a few alarms and they all use the same notification system for setting up an alarm so i do not think one has any benefit from another in terms of reliability (although you will always have diff people swaring by their paricular alarm) but diff ones have extra features - eg. play mp3, wma's etc...
IMHO you can have a reliable alarm by
1. Keeping the notification queue clean - i feel these errors occur when the NQ becomes large/corrupt
2. If it is for a morning alarm - plug your device into the mains and do not let it go into standby - this will give you a reliable alarm.
If you want to look into other alarms see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=wrap
and here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/s.php?querywords=alarm
After a reboot it works fine for a few days (2-3 days)
Then the prblem starts.If you manually put it in standby mode (screen off) and make a call to the phone it rings. But if you wait till it goes to standby mode by itself it wil not ring. But it will show that you had a missed call when you resume the phone.
If you manually put it in standbye mode it starts doing i after while.
If you hard Reset the phone and resinstall everything, it works fine for a month or so then it starts doing the same thing as abovee.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this a defective phone?
Thanks,
Phone not ringing when in standby
actually i've been having the same problem. every once in a while when i turn my phone back on from standby, i get all the text messages and missed calls that i got during the time it was in standby. i know this happened often with older versions of wm, but i thought it'd be fixed by now.
it happens about once a month, but it'd be nice to not miss important calls since i use it for work

This is really interesting. It seems to happen on some phones but not on some others. in out office it happens only on that one phone. I wonder if some of the phones are deffective.
I have the same problem with my phone and it is really frustrating. My phone still doesn't seem to ring or vibrate even sometimes when I bring it out of standby mode. The screen flips on and I get a notification...but no vibration or sound.
I frequently check to be sure that my notifications are set up in the settings properly. Weird.

We spoke to HTC about this. They said it's a known problem and they are
working on it.
Have you tried a hard reset? (hold Talk & End together and press the rest button. ****Be carefull this wipes out all data and reinstalls everything**).
We found out that for the time being rebooting soelves the problem for a few days. Hard reset solves the problem for a few weeks.
I have done a Hard Reset earlier with some success (for a few days). I find that a reboot typically solves the problem only for a couple of hours. I will eagerly await an HTC fix. haha.

Try disabling time synchronization under the phone options. That's seemed to have "fixed" my issue I experienced almost daily. I'm going on three weeks with no freezes.

Did that fix a freeze problem? Ours doesn't freeze. You can easily bring it out of standby. But while in standbye it doesn't ring. Are we talking about the same problem?

Maybe you're right, I experienced a slightly different issue. My phone wouldn't ring when someone called AND I couldn't bring it out of standby - it would not respond to a power button press. Disabling time synchronization fixed this and it now always rings.
I used to have this issue when I had my Touch checking my email once every hour. After a hard reset and changing to manual email sync the problem has been eliminated.
Keep in mind there is still an issue when the battery drops below 30% where the phone will not wake up for notifications. A charge and soft reset will fix this issue.
Hope this helps.
This is a know problem with the touch so far this is what has come about
hp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11805
HTC has mad the phone to shut down when the battery is at 30% from what people are saying to conserve the battery.

SD memory card is my theory
I think there is a problem with the memory cards on this phone. I don't know if it' a hardware problem or a wm software issue, but when you take the memory card out the phone is much more reliable. I've defintely had the missed call phenonema with the card in and I don't think it ever failed with it out. Many threads talk about flakey memory cards, Has anyone had this problem without the memory card in the phone? I've taken mine out because it is so poorly supported. Attachments cause a problem, activesync doesn't back up pictures from it, I've read other issues about programs that don't run from it!
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
ok so i set my alarm for 7:00am this morning and it just didnt go off...luckily my mum woke me up anyway but still its very unreliable...anyone else had this issue? maybe its linked to my sms message problem? thanks
the alarm on my X1i has been working flawlessly and waking me up every day at the specified time of 7am...i wish mine didn't work so i wouldn't have to wake up that early!
Be sure to have "Let Alarmsignal ring, even if the device is turned on silent or vibrate only" (i dont know what the official text is but im just losely translating from english.
You should find this option with the Clock and Alarmsignal settings under the Tab More.
Also i suggest setting 2 or 3 alarms.. maybe that will help.. ;P
Mine too, some times it simply doesn't go off (specially if more than one alarm are set).
i wake up before it has to anyway but it's still annoying!
and no, that option doesn't help at all, i tried it.
I'm using the free G-Alarm since October last year and it reliably woke me up every morning.
Maybe you want to try it: www.ageye.de

Sorry to say that, but it seems to be your fault then.
G-Alarm works reliable and fine.
Just be sure the alarm is set active and at the right days and the ringtone is available and set to 100% volume.
Also let G-Alarm fix the Windows Mobile Alarm Bug and force to put the sound through the speaker even if the phone's set to silent or vibrate only.
Did you tell it to ring EVERY DAY? I forget this every "first" time on a new phone and the alarm dows not work. It only rings when you tell it to do.
I knew it wasn't just me!
Sometimes it will go off fine
Sometimes it will just vibrate and then do nothing else
Other times it won't go off at all
I can't seem to find a pattern to it, it just seems completely temperamental and is far to unreliable.
As for g-alarm that's far too annoying. It went off while my phone was on silent on a train. Had loads of puzzles and mazes and doesn't stop ringing until you have done them. I pulled out the battery, turned it back on and the alarm went off before the phone had even booted up!
sometimes this problem occurred for me with the custom roms being developed but with the original and the r2a roms I have not had an issue
yep, done all that and i have wm all fine tuned, and as i said, only failed twice over a month or so on a week day configuration with no changes made to it, but enough for me to not fully trust it anymore, be it problem with G Alarm or windows problem...

You can turn those snooze games off , it's just if you want it to really wake you up . Anyway G-Alarm works well for me so far. With the standard I had issuses, even on my older Magician. This one period it only sounded this ding sound repeatadly and refused to play the sound file which of course was in place. Weird stuff, but G-Alarm is awesome, it even allows you to set random MP3s from a playlist you set up. Waking up with a different DnB tune every day
Yes i have a feeling ill have the same issue as Elusivo...no alarm whether it be the standard or g-alarm will be 100% reliable on my X1. Glad i'm not alone but quite annoyed because that is one of my most important things...this along with text messages not always sounding or being displayed until messinging is opened up makes the phone a little difficult to love sometimes.
To me it seems everyone's X1 is slightly different....some have physical issues like cracking etc, whilst others have things that don't work as well as someone elses X1. I find it very strange. I guess these are my issues!

yes, exactelly
as far as i remember, i also faced this on my SE P910i, also same problem!
i barely sleep, and if the phone only vibrates i wake up, but mostly it doesnt!
i will try GAlarm, let's see.
+1 for G-alarm here.
I tried several different progs before settling with G.
I cannot think of an instance where it has let me down, without it being my own stupid fault.
As said before, you can switch off the mazes and puzzles, and just use it as a standard alarm, with/without snooze.
Best piece of freeware i have got, i think.
Why does WinMo standard alarm suck so badly?
Have MS forgotten to update it all this time?
Alarm
You have any idea how i can add in me xperia more alarm tone.?
I have never had any problems with the alarms. They are right on time.
i tried mine set for this morning. no problems yet. ill test it a whole week or so and see how it goes.
standard nam rom for my x1a.
I gave up on the built-in alarm and I've been using SPB Time which I'm very happy with!
