yeah, it's really not very efficient. You end up with an 'event' for every little bit in your contacts/agenda/etc. that has an alarm or something associated with it.

What they should have done, in my opinion, is have a single event run at the start of each day, which collects the actual events associated with that day - and only load those into the event notification system, taking care to run any events that may have been set at exactly the time that it'd be collecting events (otherwise those might be skipped).

You could abstract to a week, or per hour, but I think daily should be good.

But.. alas - instead they chose to have all events in the event notification system, sucking up RAM and CPU :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leploep:
Yeah it's really sad. They really should have given it more thought, especially since the problem is pretty old. And even more especially since this is a critical part of the digital assistant. But i seem to repeat myself :)

I just can't grasp it, thats why i keep blabbering about it :x
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ajg23:
ZeBoxx,

Your post got me thinking: combining what you were saying about turning off the power to the screen and the fact that PMH task manager allows you to "hibernate" a task...

Maybe a good solution to the wake up problem that microsoft seems unable or unwilling to solve would be a utility that

-- turns off power to the screen

-- *hibernates* all tasks

-- allows screen to power up and tasks to un-hibrenate when a Windows notifcation fires (which it actually can b/c the whole system isn't OFF)

-- optionally lock the buttons

Mortsaver does some of this, but doesn't hibernate the tasks and doesn't keep the PPC from powering down (although I guess you could go to power settings and deactivate the auto-shutdown).

An issue to be dealt with would be alarms firing and then wanting to power down the device if they were not dismissed...

Anyway, some fancy-pants developers might want to give such an app a try and see whether they can get away with minimal battery drain...?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
ideally, actually, they (an entrepeneuring developer) would put a selection of power-managed devices in stand-by - optionally. For example, the wave-out device, the camera, bluetooth, wifi, etc. hibernating a task really just puts it in a very low CPU priority mode, which doesn't help if the app isn't being particularly active to begin with :)

If any developer wants to take a stab at it anyway:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wceddk5/html/wce50conPowerManagement.asp

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...coreos5/html/wce50conpowerstatetransition.asp

are the evil necessary reading bits

Overall, I'm quite happy with just turning the screen off. The backlight is the biggest battery-drain, followed by the LCD itself (besides, turning only the backlight off leaves you vulnerable to LCD burn-in). Not sure what the next biggest drain would be - probably wi-fi and bluetooth, but I make sure those are off by default anyway. Nevertheless, I suppose a single mort script that turns all the stuff off by manner of launching the various little utilities available, or a single application to do that would be nice.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hjb150:
same strange problem here with a MDA Vario.

Well let's point it out:

- when i test the alarm, i make an appointment which alarms goes of in about 1-5 minutes: it works!

- When i make an appointment with a alarm for the next morning (at ac- power): it doesnt work!

- When i make an appointment with a alarm for the next morning (not at ac- power): it doesnt work!

next thing going to test: sd-card in/out

this is driving me crazy, had this problem before, did a hard-reset and the problem was gone. But i dont want to do a hardreset again :(

This is really sad, i mean these devices cost enough, so why cant i use it for what it's made for :S

i will give that tweak in Tweaks2k2 a try, but hey, do i really need to use some tweaksoftware to have a PDA!!! give alarms? :S

<<<edit>>>

last question, can it has something to do with the phone edition? because i have dell axim x51v (also wm5) with exactly the same software and everything on it wich CAN wakeup!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leploep:
Did you install checknotifications? it'l let you clean up your notifcation database.

about your last question: I dont think so, because this problem was allready present on older pda's i've had that had no phone built in.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hjb150:
i've used both checknotifications and memmaid, has no effect on alarms :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
cleaning up the notification database doesn't help with the "doesn't wake up" issue, at least on the latest devices. It *does* help with getting alarms that you're not supposed to get, though.

E.g. if you have an alarm set for 8am one day, then the next day you set it for 9am, you may still be woken up at 8am from the old notification (seems to happen randomly). The cause appears to be the date/time app not entering the notifications properly -or- the notification manager screwing it up.

It's easy to see, though, with CheckNotifications..

1. Start Check Notifications

2. Click the "Clear" button

3. Start > Settings > |System| > Clock & Alarms*

4. Set up 1 alarm

5. Go back to Check Notifications

6. Click "Refresh" in the menu

7. Look for red bits in the queue

If you don't see any - woohey, lucky you!

Me, I see 6 of them. Which are all duplicates of 1 black one. So 7 alarms notification queue entries, when only 1 is needed :>
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leploep:
I just repeated your test and found the following:

I set 1 alarm for 1 day. it gave me 1 record in the dbase.

I set 1 alarm for 5 days. it gave me 5 records (of wich 4 red duplicates)

So this might be related to the number of days you select? (still stupid to duplicate them)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
d'oh - good point ;)

The bit about getting alarms you're not supposed to stands, though :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hjb150:
because it has something to do with the power-on/off, i'm going to try the following this time:

put my wizard at ac-power, make an appointment for next morning with alarm, lock the device (with the built-in today plugin) and let it turn off itself after some minutes.

will tell you the results tomorrow morning...

(at least, if my alarm wakes me up :cry: :( )

<<<edit>>>

it worked! the wizard alarmed at the right time :lol: :lol: :lol:

next night i'm going to test if the sd-card has something to do with it, but for now, the 'lock device' method is acceptable for me...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hjb150:
last night it worked, this morning NOT! :cry: i don't know it anymore...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
heh... like I said.. just don't let it go / put it in standby. It doesn't drain all that much more battery (just make sure you've got a little app to turn off the screen, not just the backlight), and you will have -no- missed notification issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hjb150:
will the "suspend" or the "toggle screen" options in spb pocket plus help? or will it eventually go to sleep as usual?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Not sure what the "suspend" option in it does. Device stand-by is usually regulated through Start > Settings > |System| > Power* > |Advanced| and en/disabling the "Turn off device if not used for" options. Might be that SPB Pocket Plus has an option for that as well though?

I had the same issue with the uk 1.6.2.4 Firmware .. updated to the new 2.8 Firmware tonight incl hard-reset and reinstall will see if this fixed the issues... I too am getting more and more disappointed with WM5 ... Symbian was SO MUCH more stable including the sync Software .. I really hope Microsoft will bring some fixes soon or this will definately be the last WM5 device I will buy.. If I can't even rely on the device to wake me up thats kinda sad ...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hjb150:
hmm used the tweaks2k2 'full power on' option, didn't wake up :(

but when i turned the device on, the clock said it was 0:00 before it updated. so maybe this is a problem? i mean, i know the clock updates slowly after you turn on your device, but exactly 0:00 looks like something else...

well, next night i'm going to try to turn the device on after 0:00 and see if it will wake me up in the morning....

http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?board=24.0

It is great. I set ALL of my alarms to "AlarmToday" (AKA SILENT), for Calendar alarms then set individual alarms (WAV files) based upon Categories.

I recommend these settings, (In reverse order)

FYI, my Himalaya 2005, was on battery this morning and through PhoneAlarm, I have it set to power off after 30 seconds and screen off after 10 seconds... SO, it was NOT on AC (External) power and it was NOT "ON".

Having the phone plugged in and on External power, and having it never turn off, was the only way I got it to work in the past.

I CAN'T guarantee you that it works ... i'll check it tonight BUT :)...

First of all .. alarm not waking up your PDA in the morning should NOT happen if you leave yor PDA on charging.... BUT not on USB charging.. ONLY the (excuse me my english) ordinary charger connected to mains. IT MIGHT WORK...

Second solution - install (this is NOT crypto advertising :) ) SPB Tips & Tricks and in Tweaks section check "Fix 2003 alarm problem" and check "Wake up off time" .. This might be different names of tweaks .. but look for it in SYSTEM section.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tref:
WakeupTweak, aka pTravelAlarm_WakeupTweak worked for me, at least so far.

Notifications on my 8125 suddenly stopped working about 10 days ago. After removing every single event in my calendar and running the SK Tools Notification Queue cleanup utility before and after it would still not notify me when I set up a test reminder. But then after downloading, installing and running the freeware WakeUpTweak my device again began providing notifications as it should.

So far it has saved me the dreaded (and not always successful), hard reset. You'd think that such a seemingly simple thing as providing a consistently successful reminder would be within the abilities of Microsoft and the hardware manufacturers. Oh well, maybe in WM18.01.b? ;)
