Have done my own ROM using Abusalza's build 209 kitchen and have been using it for quite some time. The whole thing is working pretty fantastically; I've even cooked in the fixed keyboard dll so that I can use it during calls.
After a while though I discovered that the alarm stops ringing after it goes 3 times (i.e. the alarm rings reliably on time, but after 3 repeats stops playing). Does anyone know why this might be and how I fix it? I'm otherwise very happy with my homemade ROM and don't want to replace it, but I need the alarm to work properly...
check this registry setting: HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script
if you need assistance, go to the hermes registry wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
and read the instructions in the "Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics" section
hope this helps

Looping Alarm - This will make the Alarm loop indefinitely until you turn it off
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds>Clock
create a new String Value: Script
Value Data (for no vibrate): apr
or
Value Data (with vibrate): av0pr
If you want to add a delay between each ring add 'w(delay)' before the r(repeat), for example:
av0pw3r would have a vibrating alarm with a 3 second wait before looping the ringtone (both wav or midi)
If you want to revert back to the normal alarm ring then simply delete the 'Script' value.
Tested with the official T-Moble Dash WM6 upgrade and works perfectly.

Thanks very much for this useful fix. Just tried it and it works great.
Try changing the profile to vibrate and then changing it back to normal, and see if it still works.
Worked fine for me. I leave it in Automatic mode usually. But I tried it in that, then normal, switched to vibrate, then tried it back in normal again. No probs here.
Did it not work for you?
This is the same fix I had to do with my other smartphones.

What is the name for the Value? I've re-read your post multiple times. I feel like an idiot.
UPDATE: Googled the answer, the value should be called "Script"
using nataly rom, does not work for me

yep, seems so (while i found that there is no solution on 6.1 other than 3part y apps, for those who are coding their own app here is a little tool which wakes up device for proper execution (don't remember where i found it), dumb that windows alarm can not call it, to get recall - looool)
I have a hermes with black satin and it runs stable. The problem I have been finding is that I change the alarms and they work well. The problem is that the alarm continues to go off at the time the first alarm was previously set to.
This is a very strange thing to happen. The only thing in the settings I have been changing on a semi regular basis is the date and time region when travelling.
I have tried turning off all alarms by not having any days highlighted, the program tells me the alarm will not function yet at 7.30am I will get an alaram sound..
Does anyone know where in the registry the alarms are kept?
Cheers,
you have to cleanup the notification queue.
try this tool attached or dotfreds task manager
thanks for that download. Unfortunately I screwed something up and lost the ability to ActiveSync...
Just reloading now..
Beware playing with things you don't know about, kids!
cheers,
Hi all,
I've just done a search on this and have found a few posts but none with a conclusive answer to my problem.
I have upgraded to Schaps 4.x ROM and all has been fine for a good few weeks, then without [knowningly] changing anything, the phone has stopped ringing or vibrating no matter what ring tone/type I select. I still see the pop-up of the name/number of person calling but no sound whatsoever.
When I play the sample tones (using the play button in sounds & notifications) the ringer plays fine. Also other notifications (SMS, Email, etc) seem to be fine.
Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Many thanks.
Now thats a coincendence as I'm seem to have extactly the same problem.
Not all the time thou and I have recently flashed my phone with Farias new rom.
I couldn't be bothered to diagnose the problem any more than I have already have so just did a hard-reset and finished installing my apps. I forgot to create a working back-up before and will do one this time!
It would still be good to know if this problem does get resolved.
yes, i have the same problem with
Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2, which is based on Schaps 4.x ROM i presume.
so it looks like a bug in the OS itself, or maybe something in Schaps Advanced Config Tools.
because sometimes Vibration starts working (sometimes for a couple of hours, sometimes just until the next call, sometimes for a couple of days) and then it doesnt work again.

Actually, sorry, my mistake in my original post, I used to have the Schaps ROM but then changed it to Shamanix one too- based on Schaps though like you've mentioned.
Anyway, I got just a bit annoyed with it and like I said, did a hard-reset. I re-installed all the same apps and no problems so far. Not sure what triggered the problem though.
the same problem exactlly, I flashed Faria - the last -I think it is a 6.1 error
Phone ringer resets itself to silent.
Just to be clear about the problem I am having, my phone periodically turns off the ringer and vibrate and goes to silent without any prompting.
I first noticed this when I flashed to a Faria's first 6.1 rom. It was suggested that the Home "profiles" tab had something to do with this. Apparently the "Auto" switch in the profile tab is supposed to turn off the ringer during appointments. I have not ever used the profiles, and in fact I usually disable the profiles tab in HTC home. Also at that time, I found that the ringer would be randomly turned off even when there were no appointments scheduled.
I switched to a 6.0 rom and continued to have the same issues. I have flashed a OEM rom and reflashed the newest Faria 6.1 rom and I am still having the ringer turn to silent, however now it does seem to be primarily when an appointment is scheduled, though I have never set it to "Auto" in the profiles.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this? It is frustrating to be missing calls every day.
seems it is a very old problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279920
maybe it is something with Hermes hardware problem?
another thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288728&highlight=mute;+no+sound
mostly everybody who has this problem start having it NOT after flashing\updating software, but after sometime of just using a device. so it SEEMS to be a hardware problem with some contacts, which brake\disconnect cuz of vibrations and\or just oxidation\corrosion.
I have the same problem, and I don't think the above threads are the same thing. The ringer just doesn't work for incoming calls, regardless of which ringtone I use. I have it set to ring and vibrate, and up until a couple days ago, it would at least vibrate, but no ring. I was ok with that, but now it won't vibrate. I do get the voicemail notification sounds, and I get sound for incoming text messages. Vibrate also works with text messages and such.
And now that I'm typing this, I just received a call, and the phone vibrated! It was set to ring and vibrate, though. At least it's vibrating again, but I miss my ringtones!
I'm running K's rom version 1.31 right now, but I'll be installing K's final rom as soon as the download finishes. I also plan on installing all my programs one by one and soft resetting in between. Hopefully if it's a software conflict causing this, I can narrow it down that way.

same here.. i already try installing a few diff rom.. but it still cant fix the mute problem.. can anyone else help us? hmm
I got K's final rom installed, and I finished installing all of my crap. My ringtones work fine now. I have to say, I wish I would have installed this rom earlier; it's much faster. I think I'm going to backup my registry now, so if the ringtones do quit working again, I can at least prove whether or not the registry had the problem. I'll update if I learn anymore about this.
Like I mentioned in a earlier thread, I installed Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2 ROM which was about 5 weeks ago; ringtones were working perfectly and all of a sudden they stopped.
I'm not sure if I did 'something' by accident to cause this problem. But having reflashed using the EXACT same ROM and apps, the ringtones are working fine again.
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?
this is driving me crazy, I want to set my alarm and keep the phone on its front, speaker side up at night so I can actually hear the alarm but the phone goes into vibrate mode whenever I do this, please can someone help me fix it..I have searched the forums
energyrom using maxsense 1.02
thanks
I'd post in the Energy thread regarding that issue. I gotta say though I've used most flavors of Energy's ROMs in the past (though not the MaxSense to date), never have had that issue with a default configuration. Use the phone as an alarm every night, face down like you say.
Have you tried going into start --> settings --> clock & alarms, More tab, and checking "Sound alarms even when the device is set to silent or vibrate"?
thanks I jus tried that no luck
