Apologies if this is handled elswhere I've search and not found it.
What can I do to change the standard alarm "snooze" defaults?
They are rather poorly set at 5 mins before, 5, 10, 15 mins, 1hr, 1 day, dismiss all.
So it would be entirely sensible to have 3 hrs, 12 hrs, 3 days and some other options etc...
This means "snoozing" business things until later the same day, the next day morning, past the weekend etc...
Am I looking for a Microsoft miracle or is this possible somehow?
p.s. Running HTC Touch HD....extremely pleased with it.

I'd like your opinion on this. Today I had my phone mostly at silent and the display was off most of the time, I was attending a workshop and pretty much did nothing with the phone. Before starting, it had 100% battery but when I came back it had dropped to 63%.
Not only that, it also used 3MB of B/W today over the cellular network(Using netcounter for this). For the B/W I got 1 e-mail account set to sync contacts and e-mail as the items arrive(Push mail) in HTC Mail. Now until a few minutes ago it was also syncing News, stocks and weather under HTC's default settings.
I have VillainRom with 17_2 baseband, the phone is pretty much new and the battery is calibrated.
Note : I'm mostly talking about a period of 8 hours.
OK I flashed LeeDroid ROM and 30_2 radio. I also tried to re-calibrate the battery, but it seems it was calibrated since after removing the phone from charger, shutting it down and plugging it back in it immediately went green.
Now I got one gmail account which has nothing to sync, one exchange activesync account set to sync as mail arrives(push) as well as contacts, one HTC Facebook account set to sync every 2 hours, weather to sync every 3 hours and that too only of my location(I removed other cities). I also got Nimbuzz running and Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to "never", brightness is automatic. Hopefully this'll keep my battery happy.
Lets see how it goes, I plugged it out 1 hour ago(It was at 100%), now it is at 92% although I believe the 90-100% span is kind of delicate and runs out quickly. Not to mention that I also browsed for a few minutes.
Totally agree on the randomness of the battery even when charged. Some days I have a wifi surf whilst having my morning poo for 5 mins and I'm down to low 90's/high 80's. Today I'm still on 99%. My poo lengths don't change much so something flaky is going on.

Heh, I know what you mean.
Its been a bit more than 4 hours and I've had a few calls, browsed the web a bit and read 5 mails and send/received 4 texts. Nimbuzz has been on constantly along with the Wi-Fi and I'm having 82% battery. Seems OK considering the usage.
Its been working fine the firsts uses, but then after a few days, the hour went crazy, when im at 7:00PM, and i say: wake me up in 1 hour, it sets an alarm for 1:00 am, it means that it is fastened for 4 hours or something, I never have locations services on, this time the time is wrong...
anyone?
Hello everyone,
I know the alarm free date #SAD...# is a beta feature at the moment, but I've run into a bug with it that I thought you should know about.
I have a section on a widget where I show the next alarm date and time, but I want to also show bedtime, which would be the alarm minus 8 hours. I know for standard dates, I can do something like #D-480...# if I want to subtract 8 hours. I can even do math within the variable, such as #D-$(8*60)$...# to subtract 8 hours. When I try this same sort of thing with the alarm free date variable, I find that it compounds amount added or subtracted each minute until something causes it to reset.
To make a simple example, if my alarm is set for 3:30 on Monday, and if I want to display the alarm time with 1 minute subtracted from it, I use #SAD-1 P:mm p#, and I should get 3:29am on Monday. It works correctly for the first minute, but as soon as another minute passes, I see that the the adjusted alarm time now shows 3:28am. So every time a minute passes, the adjusted alarm time gets multiplied by the number of minutes passed since I saved the widget. If I subtract 2 minutes at a time, then I see the time drop by 2 minutes as each minute passes. If I do 8 hours, then, well, it gets very strange very quickly.
I have noticed that the adjusted alarm time will reset from time to time, going back to the correct calculation for a minute, but I'm not sure of what causes the reset. Sometimes it will go back to the correct calculation after editing the widget, and sometimes it won't. Other times it will go back to the correct calculation after my screen has been off for a little bit and then I turn the screen back on, but not every time. Also, it looks like it may not add or subtract additional increments while the screen is off. Again, with my example of subtracting 1 minute, if my screen timeout is 2 minutes, then by the time the screen turns off, I'll see 3 minutes subtracted in total. If I turn the screen back on 10 minutes later, it will still show the 3 minutes subtracted. The next minute that the screen is on, it will either reset to 1 minute being subtracted, or it will continue to 4 minutes subtracted.
FYI, I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Android version 4.4.2, Sprint, rooted, but I am running on stock ROM and kernel.
I hope that this helps pinpoint where the bug may be. Please let me know if any other information is required.
Thanks,
Jeremy
Same problem here.
I would like to add a "timer" that would tell me how many hours and minutes until my next appointment. Something like "Next Appt: 12 hours, 14 minutes" or "Next Appt: 3 days, 12 hours, 14 minutes" or something approximate like "Today", "Tomorrow", "4 Days" if the more exact timing isn't possible. Any of you geniuses know if it can be done and how?
Thanks in advance.
In EU countries, British summer time ended last night and the clocks went back 1 hour. My phone shows the correct time and changed automatically. I use an app called Tasks https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid that I have been using for a while is now, and it's now longer working correctly (and another similar app is doing the same). When I input a time for the task to alarm the time displayed goes back one hour, so for example I have a task that will sound at 6:15 am tomorrow, but the time that it will go off is 5:15 am. Any idea's why this is happening, I thought it might have been the app, but I have tried tow different ones. They both synchronise with Google. The only way to 'fix' it would be to set the time to remind me at 7:15 am.
My phone is rooted on stock rom.
