Reminder sounds. Can I change the interval time? - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi All,
I have the XDA Orbit running WM6.
I love it to bits, but theres one thing that annoys me...
I use the reminders in the calendar quite a lot, and I set it up to play a sound with the reminder.
The problems is if I hit Snooze or Dismiss at the same time the sound plays, the sound continues and I have to soft reset to get it to stop!
It even does this if I delete the item from the calendar!
It seems to be a timing thing so is there any way that I can increase the interval that the reminder sound 'goes off' at?
Hope I've made this clear, its a little hard to explain...
Thanks...

Profiles

Is there an app or tool that lets me use profiles, like a standard Nokia phone.
I would like an bar on my today screen where I can set a profile for normal, loud, silent, headset, meeting, etc.
With each profile have a different incomming phone call volume and ringtone. Same for Messages and notifications.
Is this availeble? or hard to create? Are should I keep on dreaming?
Thnx
try pocketzenphone (http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/index.php), I use it for years now and its great!
The Ringtone you can define at the contact directly. Its not possible to change the volume for each contact seperately.
thnx
Looks like a good tool.
Only thing I dont like about it is the 30-day trail Periode.
I found Profiles - v1.2.1 on www.pocketpcfreewares.com.
Its FREE I'm gonna test it for a few days. I believe I read somewhere that it isn't all that great, but we'll see.
Thnx Calvin42
I had a little problem with my free app this morging.
I set the alarm to go of at 06:00, but it didn't.
There was no sound, so no waking up.
Gonna find me another app.
pocketzenphone is the best of all!
Try it and you won't regret it :wink:
Also give PhoneAlarm 1.30.03 a try. Personally I find it better than Pocketzenphone primarily because of the fact that it gives you the possibility of repeat alarms in case of a missed call, unread new SMS and e-mail, etc.
Kind Regards

Alarm Question

I used the search engine and could not find a similar topic. Please excuse if this has already been asked.
Is there a way to use the alarm on the Artemis even when I have the "Silent" or "Vibrate only" profile selected.
I don't want to get woken up by incoming calls before my alarm sounds
Thanks in advance for some nice answers
PS: What exactly is the "automatic" profile ? What's its function ?
You may need 3rd party software for the job. Try PocketWakeup (freeware), that'll over write the volume settings and. give you a increase volume alarm. Takes a while to get used to it, but it is nice with a big snooze button, mp3 support etc.

Hi,
the autamatic profile function disable all sounds if you have an appointment, and switch back the sounds after the end of the appointment. Obviously this activity is regarding to the calendar entries.
Why don't you switch off the phone during the night? Not the whole pda, just the phone function of it? In this case you don't have to change to silent or vibrate mode. The alarm will work and you don't have to wake up if a call is coming, because no call will coming...

Thats a nice idea
But I have made the experience that some short messages don't make their way when you shut off the phone. Sometimes they come some days later. But I'll give it a shot . Thanks !!
You should try PhoneAlarm. It's seems to be a little frowned upon, but my experiences are good. It has the option to turn off phone and message sounds but still enable notification.
Another (supposedly more stable) solution to your needs could be "Profiles for Windows Mobile" which is offering the same options like Phonealarm without skin support.

Alarm tool
After a lot of alarm tools I found pTravelAlarm to be the best choice for me. Clean interface, snooze function with big snooze button, also works when device is locked (yes, some don't ). Big advantage is that you can use mp3's for your alarm sound and you can set the volume to wake you up, independent of the current volume.

Notification sound issues

Hi,
My first post here, hopefully an easy one.
I really hope i am just being stupid and over looking something simple.
I have an unbranded TP2 and i use a Pay & Go SIM in it.
this has not been a problem, everything works exactly like it should. my issue is that O2 insist on sending me notification messages after every text and call.
This wasn't a problem on any other phone as notifications came in a silent, or discreet message just telling the the amount of credit i have left. Now, on the TP2 it is a very loud and intrusive noise that echos around my next to silent office. i cannot find out how to change the tone to something a little less annoying.
I dont mind if i can only use the TP2 istalled tones, i can find something suitable. But i just don't want to turn off ALL of my notifications, just their tone
Thanks for any help

Start->Settings->Sounds and Notifications
thanks for the speedy reply.
I did look there.
I can turn off notifications/ event etc, or i can change tones to most kinds of notifications, EXCEPT for the "phone" notification.
I have checked through each of the availiable settings to change to see if that makes a difference, and i still cannot find it
Thanks

[Q] Notification sounds on Arc

Hi guys, is it only me who have problems with notification sounds on Arc?
I love the phone in general but this particular feature is implemented horrible in my opinion.
There is only one notification sounds switch for all such sounds in Settings -> Sound -> Notification Ringtone.
If it's on the phone beeps every time when I get an email. This is very annoying, especially if you have many email accounts set up. If I turn it off it doesn't make any sound notification for calendar events which sucks.
Sms beeps still work when notifications are off, I don't really understand how it works and how to change it.
What do you guys do about it? Is it possible to have sms and calendar notification (better different sounds) and at the same time turn email sounds off?
Thanks.
EDIT.
Ok, I actually found what I was looking for. Sms application and calendar have their own settings for sound notifications. Haven't seen them before.

Silent alarm?

My previous phone, Gear S2, had no speaker so the alarm was silent and just vibrated. This was ideal for when I work as an invigilator for exams where I have to tell the students to save their work very 20 minutes. My new Galaxy Watch alarm both vibrates and makes a sound which, clearly, is not a good thing in an exam room! Is there a way to turn the sound off or another app which I can use to set alarms? I have been using the Timer alarm but then I can only set one alarm at a time instead of setting all of them in one go.
Thanks for any help.
You can change alarm sound ( set it to mute in your case) and change vibration pattern when swiping to the left while editing your alarm. It's the next screen after the day repeat screen.
Thanks so much! I had never noticed that those settings existed but have changed to mute and all good now.
