Since installing the latest O2 ROM upgrade I found two problems:
1. Alarms and timers (chronos, spb time) don't wake up the machine. I need this feature and this a major problem for me, surely must be also an issue for others.
2. I don't want the battery icon on the top bar, I want just the clock.
Does anyone knows a trick to change for the better any of those, please?
Thanks, Gonz
1) u can install 3rd party Alarm Softwares.
2) search the forum, there is a solution

Really?
Care to post a link? Everything I've read says there is no solution yet.
Look in your startup folder, there is a file that activates the battery icon (I can't rremember what it is called and I don't have it anymore, but I seem to remember it's obvious when you see it).
Delete it (or copy to another safe location) and your battery icon will no longer appear.
OK, it seems my problems are not so simple to solve, after all.
These are the files in my startup folder:
sddaemon, services, theme refresh and voice command.
Could you tell me which one to delete to get rid of the battery icon please?
Uhm…, and what about the problem of timers and alarms failing to wake up the device? Do we have to use the dull Microsoft application?
Thanks

hdubli,
I do have lots of third party software for this purpose and they all fail with the exec wm5, something that did not happen on my xda 2i with any of them.
If you please care to be more explicit with the solutions, I am sure several here would appreciate it.
Thanks, gonz

For your alarm problem, check out pTravelAlarm

You are looking for version 2.6.0, which is for WM5 - their site claims that it's a trial version, but I've found it to be faultless, even after applying latest O2 ROM.
It's not free and I can't promise it'll work for you, but it's worth a shot.
If I can't leave my Exec plugged into mains overnight, I disable the "Turn device off after..." in Power Settings and it hasn't failed to wake me up yet.
Its volume control isn't linked to your device's, and it's loud enough to put the fear of God in you...[/code]
I am having a similar problem. What you guys dont seem to understand, is, even if there was a $1000 3rd party alarm software, it will be of no use when the phone refuses to wake up.
The problem we have is not of the alarm software, but the simple problem of the phone not waking up, e.g. from standby to ON.
Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thank You
This forum has not resolved the issue of the battery, hunders if not thousands of people are awaiting some miraculous fix for this. the only thing I know to work is using wizbar to reskin the title bar.
in relation to alarms, sorry, i know the wm5 is a problem. though, the inbuilt alarms that i have used on the device do wake the device up.
the other thing you can try is, dont turn it off, dont allow the system to turn it off after a period of time, and just close the device without turning off.
it will drain a little bit more power, i think approximately 15% over the night than what it would otherwise draing, but if it is plugged in, then it wont drain at all and will ensure the device wakes up.
thanks, it is probably rom related since u report that your device does wake up. Can you tell me what rom version u are using? Thanks

Many thanks, I did try not to switch it off and it works!, even the timers!
my rom is in my signature, unlike yours.
what i was saying was it wakes it up from its sleep, but not its off state.
just closing the clam was sufficient to preserve battery, especially given that at night its always charged. even during the day, i rarely turn it off. i just close the device and let it rest....
Why is the "turn off device if not used for" alway
Does anybody know how to prevent the system from ticking this box every time?
My machine does it on its own, yes, it does, sometimes even after changing from landscaping view to normal.
So, the advice of not turning it off to make the alarms work is OK, but needs constant rechecking that the box remains unticked!!
Thanks,

I would look at your other software that may be enforcing this as it has never happened to me, nor have I read about it.

If you mean Windows\Startup, I have sddaemon, O2 UI Refresh and poutlook.
I have moved them all out (startup folder is empty) and still no luck.

My suggestion unrelated to your problem is to keep "sddaemon.lnk" out of the "start up" folder. If you haven't noticed yet, if you keep sddaemon on the start up folder, after performing a soft reset this file is duplicated under "Notifications" taking up your precious memory and slowing down your machine. You can check it if you have a program that cleans your Notification Que such as "Scary Bear's Check Notification" (freeware).
For the alarm one, does anyone tried using PocketWakeup? The original one is in French, but there is an English version too. Google for it and see if it works on the universal.

Can't think of anything in my PDA that will have that need or ability, it is not an option I've noticed in any program before, but thanks anyway. I'll search around, there must be a solution somewhere :wink:
gonzaloblanco1992
you could try reflashing your rom as you are on the older version.

I got the latest, just haven't updated my profile. I found it! It was Phone Alarm, changed to PocketZen and everything is finally OK :wink:
Hi there,
Really hoping someone can help me with this rather odd problem..!
My M600 alarm has started sounding at 5:30am every morning, All though no alrams are currently set on the device... I have unticked all alarms, changed the time on the alarm but still it sounds, I need my sleep, has anyone else had this problem? Dont really want to do a hard reset
Thanks
G
The forum, you search.
For `alarm` you will, and a solution you'll find.
Sorry if im being stupid..... The only posts i can find point to installing a thrid party application, which i wouldnt mind doing its just that i need to get rid of this alarm sounding at 5:30 to keep my sainity!
Am i missing something?
Cheers
Download Memmaid and find the notification for the alarm that is going off and then delete it. This should take care of your problem. I had the same thing going on and this was a straight approach to effectively removing the phantom alarm.
Hmm. . specific I need to be.
This thread you go. 3rd post you read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50062&highlight=alarm
`CheckNotifications` free-program you install.
Problematic notification on your specific time you look for. Kill it you will.
Morning
I have set up the alarm on the sence home screen and set my tone to the alarm to but, When the alarm goes off it is not the tone i set and this will not wake me up. Is there a bug with the alarm has anyone else had this problem???????????????????
I used my alarm for a week straight while traveling - after having changed to a different alarm tone (alarm 5 - the default in my previous devices) - and it worked flawlessly. Not sure if we're doing anything different. Mine is the stock UK ROM from HTC direct.
My alarm has just plain and simple failed to go off 3 days running now. Worked fine Mon & Tues. Nothing since. Also having the unlock code being rejected - even though it's correct - on the same mornin
I too have had this problem but solved it this morning. I had a custom taskbar icon set installed. It messed with the volume screen, and was also causing my alarm to not sound. I uninstalled the icons (tsowen taskbar) and now my alarms are sounding again!
EDIT: I have just reinstalled the taskbar icons, and remembered that I forgot to install SDKCERTS.cab last time. Having installed both that, and the taskbar now, the alarms seem to be sounding alright. Will let you know if anything changes again.
My HD2 is still stock. Rather annoyed with the issues actually. Such an expensive phone should've been better QA'd
It seems to set off my reminders tone and my alarm tone at the same time. But it does play the sound I selected just with the other tone mixed in...
HD2 built in Alarm not working correctly
I have the same problem on my HD2. The Reminder sound starts just before the Alarm sound starts. It was not working that way on the HD : Alarm and Reminder were fully separate. I saw my issue on other forums, but no answer so far.
Of course other alarm software do solve the matter, but, beleive it or not, I am happy with the built in alarm, and I do not like unsolved issues.
I have searched the register many ways, but could not find any tuning. Is it a tuning or a bug ? Any idea from skilled developpers ?
It has worked perfectly for me, 100% of the time since early November, and I use the alarm daily.
I suggest you hard reset and try it without installing any 3rd party apps. If it does not work, detail every step you took to check it as you may have done something wrong.
HD2 Alarm not working correctly
Many thanks johncmolyneux for your wise advice. I have just tried it : real hard reset (+&- buttons then + then reboot). After reboot I cancelled all buttons asking for customisation. As soon as I got control, I defined a clock alarm, and... the Reminder (Alert-Soft) ringged just before the Alarm (Alarm-light).
So this problem really exists. I have had it with the stock ROM. And I still have it with the latest official ROM from HTC site "_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_FRA_1.48.406.1_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe".
From what you tell me (working OK on yours), it could be either a bug on all french ROM, or a hardware bug (would be rather strange).
Again, can solve by disabling All reminders, but then of course reminders will not sound.
Any idea from skilled developpers, a register entry, a cfg, an ini file ?

Yeah...same bug too. First the reminder tone plays....then right after that, the custom alarm tone plays together..it's like a remix of the 2 tones.
This bug was also present in the cooked ROMs for HTC HD and it was solved using higher builds, starting with 21875.
Try G-Alarm
Hi,
I had the exact same problem with my HD2 running 1.48 with a minimum of applications installed and it was so annoying. I downloaded the program G-Alarm and it seems to work perfectly. I also applied the small hack, so you can access G-Alarm (or one of the others) directly from the home screen. The hack is described on Pocketnow.com.
Best regards,
Jacob
I have problems with the 'stock' alarm too, I use G-alarm at the moment, but it kills my battery overnight, well compromises I guess?? :S
i have problem with alarm too on stock rom 1.48
reminder sounds before alarm
alarm plays for hardly 5 sec ( 10 sec with alarm snooze sound file )
if not dismissed only repeats itself for 5 seconds after 15 sec of initial play back
well problem is alarm duration is too short the alarm sound should continue to play unless interrupted at least for 1 min .
secondly the alarm should auto repeat itself after minute or two if not interrupted.....
g alarm is not a solution actually
g alarm is nice application indeed but i feel its buggy on my phone and a bit unstable .......

Also same problem with ASIAN WWE stock ROM. The alarm rings one time and then dies. The instant solution is to set long music as alarm.
Bah, the best solution is to install Klaxon or G-Alarm... I really can't understand why a so basic feature can't work as expected !
have all of you reported it to HTC ?
we all should pressurize HTC for solution of Bugs they have sold to us....
its their crap .......
so it should not be headache for us....!!!!!!
to talk about bugs in forums is not a good idea any way
we should bombard their service support with mails & calls and so that all bugs are reported well and official solution comes ...........
official update is always good rather then our individual efforts ....
it would save time for developing roms and new features rather then solving HTC Bugs ......
so every one agree?
i've already reported officially to the HD2 support page. They replied to look into the issue.
My HD2 is running on 1.48 (WWE) ROM. At first I had set the alarm from Mon-Fri at 7 am. It works well.
However, the alarm still goes off EVENTHOUGH I had switch off the alarm function.
Any ideas why this happens ?
I'm on stock o2 rom (1.43) and unfortunately have the same problem. First, reminder sound before alarm, then it rings only twice. ... quite annoying I must say...
Using Enom's or Cy's ROM...(with the Nextheme and Goodies)...the alarm doesn't go off at 530am!
Anybody know if it's the ROM itself or the Theme+Goodies? Or do I need to experiment myself? (I've experimented with setting the alarm to go off an hour after I set it....it worked...but not sure if it worked because I was playing with the phone at the time)
All I get when I wake up is the trackball blinking. I've read somewhere that the alarm turns itself off after an hour...but I wake up around 5 minutes after the alarm was supposed to have gone on.
Good thing I used a backup alarm...otherwise I'd be in deep Sh------------it!
My alarm didn't go off today, but did yesterday. I have the clock as ignore in my task killer.
What I have found is that my ringtones somehow get lost on the SD card and not played. I am not sure what is happening!!!
Not cool though.

If you use any sort of task killing application and do not ignore or exclude the clock, it will kill it, and your alarm along with it.
Problem is that I ignore the Clock.
But when I go to check the Alarm Ringtone, and press play, it doesn't play anything, just a VERY LOW beep. Worked yesterday, nothing today.
Very odd!!

I like to push the audio files to the system and into it's corresponding folder. Maybe you can try that.
For me...I totally forgot about task manager! I never thought of it because the Alarm Icon is always displayed on the notification bar next to the time...whether the clock is killed or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning after I exclude the clock app from being killed.
Kind of makes me wish the Android 'stole' some stuff from the Blackberry.
Can you explain that a bit more? How would I do that?
Will Astro work?
I honestly think it is an SD issue and yes, I never had that problem with my blackberry. They keep the ringtones on the system memory and you never have to worry about it.

I'm guessing that it will only work with a rooted phone. (Mine is) This is what I use. Root Explorer. I take the files from the SD card and move it into the system/media/audio/alarms directory.
Not sure if Astro is able to access the root of the phone. Otherwise I guess you can use
adb push alarmfilename.mp3 /system/media/audio/alarms
Either way you do it...reboot the phone.
Got it, and done, thanks.
Will see if this works.
Yes i know its a leak so anything goes. I am running the 2.27.651.5. However I was wanting to see if anyone else is experiencing this. I have in my contacts a entry "Do Not Answer" I have the option turned on to route the calls directly to VM. I also have a custom silent ringer for this entry. Neither features are working. Calls still ring andwith the default ringer. Ive tried to exclude everything i can think of from my task manager. Today im going to let the phone run without ending tasks to see if thats the issue.
Anyone else seeing this problem??

I haven't set it up to test those features out yet, but I have heard on the other 2.1 Leak thread that other users are having specialized ring tone issues as well.
Yeah I had the other 2.1 on for about a day before going to the 2.27. The VM forwarding an d ringers weren't working there either. Lord I hope this gets addressed before release. I love those features.
I actually just posted a question in Damageless' Leaked 2.1 thread regarding the send to voicemail option. Hopefully the devs there can answer/fix the issue.
Here's a link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681697&page=22
I just posted over there. I think I figured out what my issue was. Seems my task manager was shutting down the service that controls that feature. I left my task manager off yesterday and all seemed to be ok. Gonna test it with it back on today.
