Hi,
I've noticed a couple times tha the alarm doesnt sound on my phone until I reboot it with the reset button on the side. Its a little troubling as I'm using it as an alarm clocl while away from home on business.
Has anyone else had this proble, any ideas on a fix ?
Cheers

I had this too.
Now I'm using SPB Time and have no troubles at all.
Seems to be a problem with duplicate or hanging notifications. They can get messed up by adding/amending/deleting appointments on the device and the PC then syncing. Try MemMaid which includes a cleaner for these as well as other useful stuff - free eval!
Every day - no matter what I do - the alarm goes off at 7:20
There is no alarm checked or set...
I cleaned up the notification queue in dotfreds task manager then reset - and still the same thing this morning!
Any ideas?
i had the same problem a while back but never found a solution. ended up reflashing the rom
flash the rom for alarm
Ouch...
Anyone here figure out how to fix this without flashing... I'd rather not flash - obviously...
Sigh
I had the same problem. It seems that the alarms notifications get messed up from time to time. I used SKTools to fix the problem. It is freeware, and there is a pretty decent write up of how to use it to fix that very problem.
Same prob on my dopod running wm6 - hard reset was the only way I could get rid of it. Doesn't seem to do it since I've been using wm6.1
The other thing I noticed is it only happens when you miss the alarm & your phone is locked at the time... do this a few times in a row and bingo.
I already reinstalled ROM but the alarm problem is still there...
Sometimes it goes on and sometimes not...
I had this problem, too.
Use Klaxon: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-klaxon.html
Has worked reliably for me and comes with an extra annoying and loud alarm! Also, you can turn the alarm off by turning the phone over.
yea, klaxon works great. had to use it on my g1 due to alarm issues. and now using it again on tp2. what the hell is wrong with these programmers that they can't make a functional alarm app? and they make how much a year????
hey guys,
following problem with my rhodium after 6.5 rom update:
if i set an alarm, the phone is not playing the alarm sound, it just plays the very first beginning of alarm sound, then after a fraction of a second switches to the sound set as "reminder" sound in system setting.
anybody else observed this - any idea how to solve it?
I have the same issue.. i am not sure whether there is any solution for that or no.
found that after a hardreset everything is fine..
looks like sth is interfering..
searching for the programme causing the problem now..
****, same problem again after activesync with pc. :-(
and can't find the folder where the mobile phone settings are synced to the pc..
Yeah, I get the same thing on WM6.5.
I set an alarm, and at the set time I hear both the set alarm 'tune' and the reminder 'tune' simultaneously.
That's having cleaned the notification queue
Hmm...
after i hard reset, i wanted to activesync with my computer and faced the same problem. donno whats happening.. any help guys..
Try to check if everything OK with you PC, unistall sync and usb drivers and install again latest version
Hmm... Thanks AxlR.
I don't want to leave your post hanging, hence my reply. But my hunch is that uninstalling ASync would be a red-herring, and certainly re-installing usb drivers. Of course, I might be wrong! Thanks for your help
Using stock ROM (Vodafone) and the in-built alarm clost doesn't always work... not sure why, as it's random.
Anyone else got the same problem, or better still a reason why it's not working?
I am using a custom wav sound, which is large (attached) - but without it the alarm just doesn't wake me up!
The build-in alarm of WM is unreliable since it's birth.
Long, long time ago, when I overslept once more, I bought pTravelAlarm.
A few bucks and your problem is over.
(But there are also free alarms like Klaxon.)
I have not had any problems with the alarm actually going off. However, I have noticed that it will sometimes play not only the alarm sound but also the "reminder" sound. I'm not sure why this is and it doesn't seem to happen every day. I would suggest trying a smaller sound file or maybe set up a test of the alarm and your custom sound during some time when you can observe it. Perhaps you can see if there are any special conditions that make it not go off (other programs running, checking email or something, etc...)
I am having the same problem all of a sudden
It always worked on 6.1 (and some custom ROMs)
It worked on the official 6.5 ROM
I installed Tomtom and alarm stopped working. I removed it and the alarm worked. I installed some other apps (.NET 3.5, email scheduler, timesynctz, flitsnav) and the alarm stopped working. I haven't been able to pin it down on 1 app. I removed them one by one but the problem now persists...
I have had the same problem. Woke up to late and looked at the screen where it said that he couldn't connect to the internet (probably to sync my email). When I pressed ignore, the alarm went off, email came in etc.
Maybe it better to use Klaxon or G alarm...
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Sounds]
“Repeat”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}]
"Options"=dword:4000001B
Ok, what does that code snipit (registry settings) actuall mean/do???
Same thing here... alarm sometimes fails to go off. I have noticed when it happens that the clock is locked up and is not at the current time. Also the top left of the screen says "messaging" instead of "Start"
I've noticed the messaging deal pop up from time to time for no particular reason... and when it does the clock stops keeping time. I think the fact that the clock stops is the only reason the alarm fails to go off. Any button or screen press will unfreeze the clock.
This is on a TP2 T-Mobile official 6.5 rom. Reflashed several times, and problem always returns. Unsure if it happened on the original shipped rom.
I've had issue and changed to SPB Time, never had an issue there.
Are you sure your phone wasn't locking up in the middle of the night? I have had that happen, the Blank Screen of Death locks me up, the phone just sits idle and alarms don't go off.
has anyone tried the registry settings of HD2Owner? You have to add the new settings? How does it work?
