Alarm clock will not switch off!!

I one set an alarm (WM5 clocks and alarms) to 05:30 on my SPV M5000 and now I can't get rid of it!! I have removed the tick in the tick-box and even changed the alarm time but still my little SPV wakes me up every morning without fail :evil: How can I stop this without doing a hard-reset? Any ideas?

Try using a notification queue cleaner, and/or if that fails, just delete the alarm's registry keys.
Make a backup, then go for:
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Clock >
Then delete
0
1
2
Write back if it does/doesn't work.

Thanks vijay. I have deleted the alarm in the notification queue so hopefully that will do the job. I will see what happens at 05:15 tomorrow!!

Yeah, give me a call at 5.15 if it doesn't. That'll learn me.

Siorry Mate, I know it is not funny for you at all but...

Obviously give columb a call as well!

On the other hand, if you switch off all sounds alarm will not wake you up AT ALL! That's why I was late on last Thursday 25 min...
Just forget to switch on sounds...
Cheers!

columb: don't you get the message box telling you the alarm won't sound until you switch on notifications?
I made my today plugin show an icon to show if the alarms are enabled, because I often forget as well (bottom right):

Hmm, how I can have same today screen? I'm new to windows&PDA.
Hm, I've instaled even Win XP one more time.
BTW. I can't belive thuis, but like for me WM2005 it's not tested AT ALL!
Beta. (or even pre-Alpha). WHY?
Why I can't sync over WiFi or why I can't sync with Linux? ((
Thanks!

i have the exact same problem with the alram clock!!! it goes off every day at 12 noon even tho i've removed that alram ages ago and done numerous soft and 2 hard resets!! its driving me mental plz advise people!! if a registry modification is needed how do i do it?? what software do i need to get into the registry?

Just to check this out: did any of you:
1. change a lot in the things in the Sounds and Notifications manager?
2. Put your own sounds in the system folder to use them in the S&N ?
Huib

yep and yep! guilty of both! the ghosts of the old alarms no longer haunt me however, everything seems to be working as it should for the past week or so. the only thing i did was install pocket mechanic and run its registry cleaner as well as cleanup the duplicates in the notification queue! hope this helps!

And you still use you own sounds. Where are they: In the Windows folder?
Huib

yeh theyre in wav format ( i think thats important cuz i tried the same tones in mp3 and they didnt work) and theyre in the windows folder. let me know how it goes.
one more question: the reminders for calendar dont seem to loop or repeat, it just goes off once and thats it! is that normal?! thats not the case for the other alarms! can u try and let me know? im using the standard alarm 1/2/3/4 sounds..it flashes vibrates and sounds but only once despite having checked the " repeat sounds" option!

But the settings/sounds&notifications tab:notifications has the option "repeat". Is that switched on?

I had the exact same problem when i first got my M5000, my alarm was going off at 6 in the morning, and i can't tell you how irritating that was. I installed Pocket Mechanic and deleted it from the notifcation queue. It never came back until last night when another alarm did it to me, so i've brought pocket mechanic now so i can keep an eye on them!

I was adviced not to use the repeat alarm function, and run CheckNotification on a daily basis.

Well, its al this #@#$%%@! notification queue. I installed the latest I-mate ROM so I had to do a hard reset which gives me rest for some time.
The only (brute force) solution till now.
from now on I am even more concentrated to find out what triggers this problems.
1. Playing with [email protected]?
2. Soft resetting?
3. Battery drain so shut off without being able to save to that queue?
4. Programs like E-wallet or Listpro that write to that queue?
5. Agile? Let my Jasjar hang regularly so as in 2 or .
6. Too heavy/large sound files? Programs conflict cause they have to wait till those souns are ready? My Agile hung e.g. when Jasjar alert was vibrating an did not stop vibrating.
Huib

I have a similar problem - except that I can't turn the alarm off - I get no notification message coming up - just the alarm going off. I have to turn the volume off and then soft reset - this normally stops it.
Anyone have any ideas?

Blackstone Switches on at Midnight!!!

Okay.... this now has me annoyed.
Every night at Midnight my Blackstone wakes me up by switching itself on and shining it's bright screen in what is a very dark room.
If left to it's own devices, after it's obligatory 1 minute of inactivity it then shuts down.
However, I normally turn over, pick the bloody thing up and turn it off....... and try to get back to sleep.
It's annoying the hell out of me ~ especially if I've had a bad day in surgery and I'm totally pooped out.
I've checked to see if there is anything running and Activesync has been given the Fake Server trick (which I'm happy with seeing as I've been doing it on several PocketPC's over the last few years).
So.... what do you think is causing this guys....

My Touch (Elf) does this too. I assume it's just part of Windows Mobile and not the fault of the TouchHD.
This is why I go to sleep with the device face-down.

Unfortunately I can't leave the device face down as the alarm is set in a way that when you turn it over it terminates the alarm..... Thus it has to stay face up.

I had this last night and it turns out it was a reminder for an all day item in my calendar. Because it is an all day item it reminds me at midnight. So, just make sure any all day items in your calendar don't have a reminder for them.

Thank you but how did you come to this conclusion?
Beards

It might be a paging request from the network operator - to confirm that the phone is still on and available....

from galarm's web site:
"Windows Mobile has on some devices a strange behaviour: Although an alarm is successfully added to the WM notification queue (it's like a scheduler) it doesn't go off.
Searching the web gave me following information:
At midnight WM rebuilds the notification queue, therefore it wakes up for about 15 seconds. If the notification queue is too big or the device too slow WM goes to sleep again before it could finish building the queue for the next day.
If you force WM too stay awake for a longer time, it should successfully build the queue on at least more devices."

[Q] [MOD] Sound Settings - Silent - Vibrate - Sound

As everybody knows, there are three types of feedback which the Epic delivers to users (aside from the blinking light). They are: Silent (no sound or vibrate), Vibrate, and Sound.
Currently, the settings only allow for: Silent Mode, Vibrate Mode, or volume mode with vibrate.
This makes sense to me but what doesn't make sense is why we cant have all three in one option. We have to go into settings and change them every time we want to go from silent mode (then can add or take away volume by clicking side button) to vibrate mode (then can add or take away volume by clicking side button).
Instead the MOD I'm requesting is to enable the sound up side button to go from:
Silent to Vibrate to Sound Up
and Sound Down button to go from:
Sound to Vibrate to Silent
Is this possible?
Would any other users like this feature?
Thank you for reading and posting!
(Currently using Midnight ROM 4.2 BYOR)

If nobody comes up with a mod, you may consider using something like Widgetsoid to place a homescreen widget which allows you to switch between Sound/Vibrate/Silent.

i could swear this was how it worked when i was on DI18 Eclair. Ever since i upgraded to EB13 Froyo, theres a new button for silent/vibrate in the notifications dropdown next to wifi, bluetooth, gps, 4g.
now when i use the volume buttons it goes straight from sound on, to which ever combination of silent/vibrate is configured in the settings rather than toggling between vibrate and sound as well.
i have resorted to using widgets to quickly switch, but would love a mod to let the vol buttons do what im sure they used to do... (maybe im crazy and they never did this though)

I use extended controls. On top of the standard controls from the power widget that's our loaded into the rom I had an option for silent and vibrate and a couple other things. Honestly this widget is alot easier then the pull down cause off all the stuff I use it for

I would definitely like to see a mod to bring this functionality back. It is ridiculous to change something as fundamental as this, every phone i've had knew the difference between silent and vibrate and both were easily accesible.
Adding a widget works, but it is a clunky work-around and not everyone wants a huge power control widget or an extra button on their homescreen.

[Q] Wake me up in ten minutes

When I was unrooted I was able to ask Google Now to wake me up and it would set the alarm. Now when I ask, all that happens is that I get search results. Is there a way of getting the original function back? Cheers!

That's odd for Google Now to be acting up. I just tried exactly what you said and it set an alarm for me. Not to sound stupid, but did you reboot and try again?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Also, stock-rooted. Brought up Now and said 'set alarm for 10:10 am'. Now says 'setting alarm' and gave me an alarm notification. Alarm went off at 10:10. Then I said 'wake me up in 10 minutes' and Now said, 'setting alarm' and gave an alarm notification for 10 minutes later. I could do this from the swipe up to google now or from the voice search icon I placed in the Nova launcher dock. Are you sure you have Google Now active in the Now settings?

And location services must be on I believe. That's so they know where they need to go to wake you up
I just tried 5 minutes and it sets the alarm. Also a web search result popped up for a second then disappeared.
Not rooted.

System Language must be set to "English (United States)" in order to perform those voice commands.
I don't understand why, but this is the only language setting with working "wake me up/remind me" commands.

I tried each suggestion but it makes no difference. I asked for my alarm to be set for a particular time and that actually works. So I'll use that for my naps in future. Unless there are other suggestions?

The weirdest thing about it
My phone's Google Now wins all awards (Rooted, Jelly Bean 4.1.2 by Bruce2728) of weirdness!
Everything less than 6 hours works! So
"wake me up after 6 hours"
sets an alarm
BUT
"wake me up after 7 hours"
does NOT work and just does a Google search.
For those of you it's working, can you check if it's the same for you? In less than 6, all rounded minutes OR rounded hours work.
More interesting observations:
Wake me up after <any non rounded minutes or hours like these above> goes to Google search.
Explicit alarm commands like "set alarm" and not "wake me up" like : "Set an alarm for after <any value less than 6 hours" actually adds the value to current time, but the same command for anything more than 6 (like 7) sets an alarm for that absolute hour, like 7 in the morning.
It listens correctly, but doesn't set correct alarms for non-rounded minutes or hours like "set an alarm after 1 hour and 30 minutes" or "set an alarm after 1.5 hours" sets incorrect alarms in these two cases

Wierd. Wake me in 6 hours sets the alarm for six hours from now, wake me in 7 gives search results exactly as you said. I can 'set alarm for 7 am' and that works.

Nice to know others are seeing the same problem. I had read somewhere that 6 hours is the minimum sleep you should take daily to still be healthy enough. May be Google doesn't want us to sleep more and do some work instead

Try this just for kicks -
Say "remind me to wake up in seven hours"
what happens?

Humm ... Very strange. Creates an alarm if I say "remind me to wake up in six hours" by adding 6 hours in the current time, but if I say 7, again says "setting alarm", but just gives me to the link to 'Set alarm' myself and takes me to the alarm app if I click that. Doesn't set any time itself !
Doesn't work for any hour after 6. What's up Google !!

setting alarm with google now!

Build.prop volume adjust

Does anyone have any insight what to edit in build.prop to remove the way the volume adjusts when receiving calls, notifications? As we all know its starts very quiet sometimes hearing nothing

Don't think you understood what I'm saying buddy, the volume check was already raised to highest point in the standard settings, I want to increase the incremental volume at root/build/development stage so it starts at 100% as opposed to starting at 15% then raising up slowly to about 70%, this is why short ringtones, notifications & alarms don't get heard
I read somewhere that the way the code is written the speaker goes into sleep mode??? Unsure if there's any truth in it or how it would do so but I'd like to turn it off or modify it and then test it to see if it works.
Any help peeps?

I don't know about a build.prop edit for it, but I know that if you used Xposed you should be able to find a setting to fix it

Everything i can find regarding this says your probably out of luck. Other solutions to this problem don't seem to work (Wanam, Dont Increase Ring )
This was implemented due to the device having front facing speakers, moto didnt want to cause hearing damage if you got a call while pretending to be on a call.

Interesting idea about the reason behind the "feature". Is this just an educated guess, or did the info come from Moto?
(I wouldn't think there are that many people pretending to be on calls, but maybe I'm living in a bubble. I also never would have predicted the selfie phenomenon.)

This file is one of the culprits in all the most recent Moto phones. This built-in feature of ascending ringtone is stupid. Moto calls it a safety feature to attenuate the sounds. Sounds great in theory. Poorly implemented. Wish they would just get rid of it. Seems only Moto phones have this "amazing feature"....*cough büllsh*t cough*
My Nexus6 has same problem. You miss many notifications because the first X.milliseconds is muted/attenuated.
It may also be adding to the crackling noise MANY people are having with ringtones and notifications. Apparently there is a confirmed fix in the next update. However, I'm certain the ascending ringtone will not disappear and will continue to annoy many. A huge oversight IMO

This is right. If you're rooted you could make a backup and remove the file. To be safer you could just put zeros for all the values. That leaves the file intact.
