I had it wrong, to be a beta tester you have to either specify a G+ community or a Google group, I opted for this second option just on case someone doesn't feel like joining G+

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/alarme-beta-testers

Feel free to join, I'll post the link to the beta test in that group
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
A new beta version is up for people in the beta group, featuring customizable timeouts for both alarm and snooze duration, plus fixes to the in-app purchases

I'm planning to promote it to official this weekend if I can get enough (positive) feedbacks, help me out!
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Awesome thanks!

Check your G+
[Android Apps and Games] kunal998:
Amazing app :good: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
love this so far.

Google now integration would be nice.

Team tasks has done it with their tasks app and I love the integration. Really love the holo ui
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I'll be looking into it, since it's been requested already, but releasing my first 100% bug free version is more of a priority now ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Could you also add an option to sync alarms across multiple devices?

I like havving multiple devices go off to make sure I wake up lol
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I'm afraid that would require some sort of server I can't afford right now, perhaps if the app sells well...

Also, v 1.0 has now been released, with a discounted price for the Pro version!
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
What if any changes to an alarm resulted in a text file being uploaded to dropbox. All devices would intermittently update this file and download it to stay up to date.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
That does sound like an idea, but then each user must either have Dropbox or maybe Drive, and I'd have to read into the API of both those services... maybe just Drive, since owning an Android device pretty much implies you have a Google account..

Nice suggestion, I'll keep it in mind
[Android Apps and Games] paulfreathy:
Love the idea!

Hi, love the idea of the app, it worked great for 2 days, then yesterday didnt go off, when I clicked on it it crashed and gave me the usual AlaRm has stopped working message. I started it again, the alarm when off, I pressed Dismiss, and it crashed again.

Now it just crashes all the time I open it. I uninstalled and re-installed, but nope, still the same.

LOVE the idea of the app though! Will keep trying!
[Android Apps and Games] faddyie:
NO alarm for me. Not while on sleep mode or when using phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Please, hit the "report" button on the crash dialog (if it's there), it'll give me something to work with

I'm also getting random crashes when dismissing the alarm lately, I'm looking into it, expect an update over the weekend possibly

Did you try setting an alarm with no weather rules nor days, for 1 minute after the current time and see if that goes off?

I've got a friend with an S3 and the same problem, still haven't found out what causes it
[Android Apps and Games] paulfreathy:
Crash reports

Thanks! Will send some crash reports shortly. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] socialworker:
Alarm keeps on ringing!

Hi,

while I appreciate the idea of the app (especially for weekends: sleep in on a rainy day, get up early if it's fine), there is a major bug.

Neither 'dismiss' nor 'snooze' stops the alarm! It just keeps on ringing until I kill the app with a task manager.

Didn't anybody else notice that? It doesn't matter if I use the weather triggered feature or just use it as plain alarm clock, it always keeps on ringing.

I'm on an I9100 running CM 10.1 fyi.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Well, it works fine for pretty much anyone I guess, I get a random crash once in a while but the alarm stops anyway

Does the app crash when you hit those buttons? Does the dialog disappear? Do you get a notification when you hit snooze? Anything?
[Android Apps and Games] socialworker:
Hi Mdk001,

first to answer your questions:

App doesn't crash, I get the dialog but no notification after hitting snooze.

But I tested some more: the described problem only exists if alarm volume is set to silent.

After I turned on the alarm volume it worked as expected.

But if the phone is set to vibrate only the bug appears as described.

I'm not sure a lot of ROMs do even have the option to control alarm volume separately, but CM does.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Actually, even the stock rom allows you to mute the alarm, I just never tested it, I guess I never thought about that possibility :)

I'll be looking into that bug, thank you for letting me know!
[Android Apps and Games] DerpyDerp:
Nice idea. Great work and easy-to-use app :good: :)

There is still one big problem. If there's no internet connection at all (e.g. in airplane mode) the app does nothing. Not even the alarm at the "default" time will ring.

I don't like the idea of having my phone connected to my router the whole night. Mobile connection would drain my battery even more.

It would be nice, if the app could automatically connect via WiFi. If no connection was established, it should go off at the default time.

And btw: I could provide some German translations ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Ok, that was a minor overlook on my side, I fixed it quickly, look forward to the next update (probably some time tomorrow) ;)

That's strange, I tested it without an internet connection and it went off at the default time.. I'll test it again, maybe airplane mode disables something else

Also, I don't think apps are allowed to turn on wifi / airplane mode (Maps prompts you to do it yourself for example), unfortunately... I just keep my phone charging the whole night so battery drain isn't a problem

If someone knows of a workaround to wifi enabling please let me know

About the German translation, that'd be nice, check the topic here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/alarme-beta-testers
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
This looks really nice! I shall test it... I just hope weather providers are accurate for my country
[Android Apps and Games] cybervibin:
aah!the app finaaly has a break tru, :) happyy i cud help
[Android Apps and Games] DerpyDerp:
I just tested the app again. It will work when you check the "Location based on network" option in the android settings. I usually keep this disabled, because it sends some statistics to Google etc..

So basically it's working :victory:

There are apps out there which can enable the WiFi, and even toggle the airplane mode ( -> AlarmDroid can do this). I don't know much about app programming (i tried some small projects :p ) but it should be possible ;)

I added the german *.xml files for the translation. I didn't know exactly what you mean with every string, but my translations should work. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Thank you very much, how would you like to be credited in the app? Name? Nickname?

I'll try to add the user-selected location during the weekend update, stay tuned
[Android Apps and Games] dorndi:
Hi,

I am an german native speaker and I checked the translation of DerpyDerp and he did a good job, but I found some spelling mistakes.

Find the corrected translation attached.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Thanks, I didn't implement German in this release because I didn't know how to credit Derpy... what about you? How should I mention you in my app?

Also, there's new text (since version 1.1 is out with new features), please refer to this link to get the latest strings:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6ycZSCOTk2RQkJZWUZnUTd3UzA&usp=sharing

And, perhaps, translate the market description too?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
I can do a Spanish translation. I'm a native speaker but I dont exactly how to go about doing so
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
It's pretty easy, grab the folder names "values" in the link above, then open each file with notepad (or any other text editor) and replace the english strings with spanish, such as:

<string name="chooseAlocation">Choose a location</string>

will become

<string name="chooseAlocation">SPANISH HERE</string>

The plurals are just slightly different:

<item quantity="one">1 day</item>

<item quantity="other">%d days</item>

%d indicates any quantity above 1.. easy right?

Then just mail me the files back when you're done and let me know your name or nickname so I can add you to the credits page
[Android Apps and Games] Marvius:
i like the app concept, but yesterday and today the alarm didnt go off?

I bought the app so hope it will work soon :)

Samsung GS3 AOKP latest nightly
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Are you using version 1.1?

Please, try setting an alarm 2-3 minutes from the current time and check if it goes off with the latest version

Do you have location services disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Minor update to the strings file:

<string name="locationDisabled">Location access is disabled, would you like to turn it on or specify a location?</string>

<string name="enableLocation">Enable location access</string>

<string name="chooseLocation">Choose a location</string>

I forgot to localize those, I had hard-coded the strings
[Android Apps and Games] dorndi:
Well, you could mention my nick in the app. ;)

I translated the strings for 1.1 and the market description into german, see the attachment.

I tested the app and it works fine so far. :)

But this features would be awesome:

1)

It should be possible to take the probability of rain into account.

For example the app should wake me up 20 minutes earlier when the probability of rain between 8am and 5pm is under 10%, because I only want to ride my bicycle to work when the weather is fine.

When the probability of rain between 8am and 5pm is higher than 10%, the app should wake me up later, because I want to drive my car. Do you know what I mean? For example wetter.net provides the possability of rain (lh6.ggpht.com/yamvojW47PMRBaDTEFet75JdRbLLv0y7a5juF394jvgCFY7ho7iT8BBDV06O3k14VeI).

2)

Functions like Alarm Clock Xtreme (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmclock.xtreme.free&hl=en) provides (e.g. math to snooze/dismiss, shake to snooze/dismiss) would be nice, because people sometimes dismiss the alarm and fall back into sleep. ;)

Best regards,

dorndi
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Okay thanks that seems easy enough. I should have it done by the end of the week if time permits
[Android Apps and Games] Marvius:
I sat an alarm 2 minutes from current time and it went off!

I saw that when i enabled my previous alarm it didnt displayed a box that told me how long till the alarm should go off.

I then tried to make a new "morning" alarm and will test tomorrow :)

Thanks for your answer!

v1.1b
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
That's good to hear

I tested it as well tonight, leaving location services off and NOT choosing a location manually makes the alarm fail silently (no crash or anything), I think I forgot to add a check for location providers before trying to fetch the weather

I'll release a small update later today hopefully

Edit: I actually forgot to have a popup display the time left before the alarm when enabling from the checkbox, will add it in the next release
[Android Apps and Games] Marvius:
Hi again,

Now this is the second day i tries, but still without results.

Is there a problem with this app and SGS3?
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
What, exactly, isn't working?

You said that setting a short-time alarm worked, right?

So it's not going off when you set it for more than a day? After the first day?

Are you using geolocation or a manually chosen location? Do you have the location services enabled?

It works fine on other SGS3 (in fact, a lot of my users seem to have that phone, a whole 8.22% of the total installations, that's a lot) so we'll have to check what you're doing differently from everyone else... my bet's on the geolocation, which is supposedly going to be fixed later today or tomorrow (I know how to fix it, no time to actually code it in)
[Android Apps and Games] Marvius:
Yes, short-time alarm is working, but when i set the alarm for more then a day (the day after at 0715) its not working.

I have tried bought weather providers, "use my location" and chosen a location.

Lets hope the next version will fix the problem.

Ill attach some screenshots

Edit: I just restarted my phone, 30 seconds after the phone had booted the alarm went off (?)

The alarm is set on 07.15. When the alarm went off the time was 10.10. wierd?
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I submitted an update to the Play store, it should address some bugs like the "ghost" alarms after a reboot, incorrectly reported weather provider as well as troubles when disabling / re-enabling alarms

I'm hoping to add a few new features in the next version, such as an MP3 ringtone picker and more intuitive way to delete alarms (maybe even swipe-to-delete)
[Android Apps and Games] dorndi:
I installed the update today and i noticed, that the "Edit-Button" and the "Delete-Button" of the alarm doesn`t work (Galaxy S2, CM 10.1).

Would it be possible to insert the menu point language settings, because it would be nice to be able to change the language?
[Android Apps and Games] Marvius:
The update fixed my problem, the alarm now works :cyclops:

Thanks!:cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I'm not sure Android lets you choose which language to use, it's based on your phone's settings.. and adding a shortcut to those feels... out of place

Those buttons were not meant to be there, I was testing a popup menu, I quickly released an update to remove those

Glad to hear that
[Android Apps and Games] dorndi:
For example the ES File Explorer lets you choose which language to use:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd

But I think that this option isn`t very important for the most user.

I installed the latest update and it looks good so far :good:.
[Android Apps and Games] DerpyDerp:
Just name my nickname from this board (DerpyDerp) ;)

### EDIT: ###

I've done some testing and there are still some problems:

Alarm volume should be set automatically (in the android system)

No connection -> app is using old weather data

locks screen randomly (after trying some alarm settings) (bug?)

no validation of manual inputted location (e.g. "Berlin" or "asdhoiausfhks")

is weather data updated?

is the location recognized or are there multiple matches?
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I just updated the app, so let's see..

- volume should be (it's always been) linked to the system's alarm volume

- cleared old weather data when trying to fetch updated conditions (even if there's no connection)

- lockscreen, I also experienced it once or twice, I'm still looking into it

- location validation requires internet, so I temporarily disabled until I properly manage each case scenario (no connection, connected with no results, connected with multiple results, connected and a single result), as of now the user is prompted to input city + state so it should work fine (it's in his own interest to put a real location in there, after all)

- if there are multiple matches, only the best matching one (according to Google's location object) is used

Please let me know if anyone experiences bug with the new MP3 as ringtone feature, as well as the neverending ghost alarms (yet another fix to those)
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Version 1.2c is up, and the app is now on sale as well (probably until the weekend)

Coming up next (probably next weekend) is the notification for enabled alarms (or, rather, the next earliest-ringing alarm) and hopefully a reworked preferences screen since it's getting cluttered

I might be needing a couple of new strings from my beloved translators sometime this week
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Version 1.3 is up for grabs if you're a beta tester (apply here), features constant notification (can be turned off) and some bugfixes, I'd love some feedback before moving it into production, plus there's a couple new strings to be translated
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Simple and expanded notifications are up, can anyone test them out on a pre-JB device to see if they don't crash the app?

Just setting up an alarm with one or more weather rules will do the trick
[Android Apps and Games] Digital Synaesthesia:
For some reason AlarMe interfered with my HTC One's reboot twice and started playing an alarm after the HTC screen appeared during the power down cycle. I had to manually reset the device by holding the power button and the volume down button. Can you look into what caused that? I'm using ARHD 12.2 if that helps at all, and I have the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
That's pretty weird, I never heard of such bug, and it doesn't really make sense for it to happen unless your rom triggers pending intents before shutting down, but that would trigger every app, not just mine..

Or, perhaps, it could be that a previous alarm didn't ring due to something being hung and when the system shat down whatever was pending the alarm went off, this sounds more likely, can you confirm you had one or more missing alarms before shutting down the device?

Do you have both location services active (wifi and gps)? I think there's a bug related to those
[Android Apps and Games] Digital Synaesthesia:
I was in my office at the time (and got some weird looks from having my phone constantly going off, lol), so I had GPS turned on due to biking in to work. I use the office Wi-Fi as well, so yes, I did have both Wi-Fi and GPS running while it charged.

I also woke up to an alarm from Friday on Saturday, so it looks like there's a few kinks left to work out yet! It's a great alarm so far regardless of the minor inconveniences I've experienced. Looking forward to the new updates. Thanks for fixing the 12:00pm = 12:00am bug that I reported via e-mail, by the way!
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I love feedbaks, at least I can fix stuff instead of just having to deal with people putting 2 stars reviews cause they "didn't understand the app".. seriously?

GPS and Wifi were on, but did you also allow Google to use those to geolocate your phone? (Android settings -> location services or something like that), but I'm guessing you did, since it seems to have worked fine before for you

Makes me wonder if it might be a connection problem, the app could've failed to download the weather but didn't timeout until you tried to shut down the phone, I'll investigate and, if someone has some best-practices to use for HTTP connection, I'd love to hear em
[Android Apps and Games] Digital Synaesthesia:
Another issue to note: This morning, I wanted to get up at 8a instead of 7:30a, so I set the alarm from 7:30a to 8a. The alarm went off at 7:30a even after I had changed it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
That's pretty weird, I don't think it ever happened to me, but I'll have a look
[Android Apps and Games] Digital Synaesthesia:
Another issue I've encountered is that dismissing an alarm when it rings will not always work. When it doesn't work, the alarm will turn back on right after you dismiss it and you're stuck in an infinite amount of dismiss looping. If you hit the snooze button when this happens, it allows you to stop the alarm from sounding. This is similar to the bug I mentioned earlier when it happened as the phone shut down, except it's in the foreground and you can actively interact with it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I guess there's something pretty messed up in the code that I'm overlooking, unfortunately I'm pretty busy with my real work and I haven't looked into these issues...

I promise I'll fix them eventually!
[Android Apps and Games] altruismme:
Brilliant Share i use it everyday
[Android Apps and Games] Digital Synaesthesia:
Ignore this.
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I'm currently working on a restyle (and code rewriting to iron out some bugs) of the app, here's a sneak peek of what the main screen is going to look like (disregard the Italian, app is multilanguage already)
[Android Apps and Games] pyler:
wow. app design is damn cool!
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
Current state of the app, almost everything is working in the main screen, adding random alarms, swiping them to delete, undoing the action, flipping the cards and geolocating the user (thsi one needs a bit more work)

Next up is getting the current weather to display in the info panel (bottom or side) and then I'll be moving to the create/edit alarm screen... how's it looking so far?
[Android Apps and Games] Quetzalcoatl:
Really loving the aesthetics
[Android Apps and Games] Mdk001:
I released a small early-alpha-teaser-preview apk for you guys to play with and check out how the UI behaves on your devices (and, perhaps, fill me in with the bugs you find)

http://goo.gl/7GHYNY

Alarms don't really ring BTW, they're created randomly with the top-right button and can be deleted, the weather and geolocation is actually fetched from the internet though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seleth:
Hello,

I have tried to install CM 9 and i tried 9 times and at the 10th i succeed but with cm 10.1 so i wanted try again and install CM 9.But after the usual procedure of installing stock rom,root and custom rom it was stuck on boot screen.I tried many times but is not working i have flashed stock recovery and i cant still get in recovery mode.I know if go to recovery mode i will succeed but i cant.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If you can't boot into recovery then bootloader is your last hope. Try volume down, home and power buttone - if it works then flash a stock ROM via odin to recover your phone.

If bootloader is not working then your phone is bricked, you can try the various fixes here in Q&A but it isn't certain.

It's been months since they've released this model, but I've only seen a minor firmware update. No possibility of JB? Anyone else with news about the darned thing?
[HTC Desire S] elfrulz:
Hey guys,

Sorry for the dumb title but I didn't knew what to write.

The main idea is that I have some troubles with my Desire S. I have 4.0.4 and HTC Sense 3.6 on it and like 3-4 times a day it freezes, the touch doesn't respond properly and it keeps taking screenshots if I lock/unlock it. It's like it is pressing the search button and the home button all by itself but if I lock/unlock the phone it solves the problem(hence the screenshots). I also have some battery problems(it goes from 100% to 15% in half a day if I play a game or two and talk for 20 mins and when it reaches 15% it sometimes shut down) but, after consulting some more threads here, I realized it's time to change the battery since it's 1.5+ years old.

Anyway, the question is this : can anyone tell me what the problem is with the the touch and is it fixable ?

Thanks and sorry for my bad spelling and grammar, I'm not a native English language speaker. :)

Best? I would have to say T-Mobile. Coverage is great. Data speeds are awesome. Considering that it uses HSPA+ 42mbps than AT&T's HSPA 21mbps network.

It just depends on you and the area you're in. I live in the city so I get coverage everywhere except when I get to school and I barely get a signal. Boo.
