This might have already been asked before. I searched for it but did not find anything hence my question.

This is the first time I have used Klaxon and its version 1.0.0.39. For the alarm sound I am using a Rooster wav file. When the alarm goes off the sound file does not play correctly it repeats itself before its finished so sounds like its stuttering.

On the first occasion it plays its fin, but after that the following happens:

Instead of ****-a-doodle-doo it sounds like ****-(pause)-****-a-doodle-doo

This happens regardless of where the sound file or Klaxon is stored.

Wav file attached, and any help from anyone is appreciated.

Home Screen Integration drives me crazy - Please Help!!!

I have tested this fantastic App, but the Standard WM Alarm begins a live of its own.

1) I made an Test Alarm with Home Screen Integration and had the Alarm showing up on the Home Screen. When i clicked the Clock, the standard WM Alarm Screen shows up with an WM Alarm at the same time like Klaxon too?!

2) After disabling this Alarm in Klaxon, the Alarm set by WM show on Home Screen stays there!!??

3) Deleting the Alarm in Klaxon even didn't remove the Alarm on WM/Home Screen

Ok, Home Screen Integration issn't that stable i expected. I clicked the clock an Home Screen and then disabled the WM Alarm, was set here. Then gone to settings and disabled Home Screen Integration, while no single Klaxon Alarm was in the List shown. Closed Klaxon and:

4) Problem: After disabling everything the WM Alarm on Home Screen was back??????????

-> Disabled the Alarm on WM again, started Klaxon: here is no Alarm. Looked at settings: The Integration is disabled!!! Closed Klaxon: The Alarm is back at Home Screen. Even after Softresets, Klaxon is continuing setting up WM Alarms on exit. And alwysa at the time of the last used and deleted Klaxon Alarm.

Now i tried to setup a new Alarm without Home Screen Integration:

The last Alarm in Klaxon with Home Screen Integration for Testing was 16:01. Every time i closed Klaxon this Time-Alarm was set by WM at Home Screen. So after Softreset, in WM i disabled all Alarms, started Klaxon, configured new 16:10 Alarm, closed Klaxon, and WM shows 16:01 :mad:

I have installed 1.0.0.37 and apptodate updated this to 1.0.0.39.

PLEEEEAAASEEE HELP!!! This really drives my crazy.

But when this is solved and i have again full control on what is going on on my Diamond, this software is really great...particularly with the new GUI is coming :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
The big change with the new version is that I had to switch to use Windows Media Player instead of the Sound APIs.

The Windows Mobile sound APIs are a real pain in the ass:

Standard Sound API has a volume bug where sometimes the sound is played very softly.

Windows Media Player has a bug where it prevents your program from exiting properly, causing a memory leak.

So, I have noticed this as well and am trying to figure out a fix that will make everyone happy.

I think I'm going to put in an option that allows people to choose whether they want to use the Windows Media Player to play their sound file or not, so that way the memory leak that sometimes happens will only affect the people who are affected by the volume bug.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jorlin:
@Koush:

Is it possible that you can trigger the alarm icon on the TF3D home panel once one of the alarms within Klaxon is active?

When can we expect the new version with the revised UI?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GeoXXX:
If I have S2U2 installed, the alarm wakes up the device (slide screen) and then int 2 sec the device goes back sleep without any alarm ringing. When I wake up the device after this the alarm sounds. Is there any fix for this? Or it is not meant to be used with screen locking applications?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
Using s2u2 (1.21) myself and have no such problems...

Klaxon fires and unlocks screen
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
I had two issues yesterday and today:

1. While the device was snoozing and sitting on the table I heard two vibrations and the app appeared to be closed. I am not using light sensor or shake sensor, so to me it is inexplicable what caused the device to think it should stop the alarm. In the log there is nothing peculiar.

2. Today it was almost the same, however this time I heard a single vibration and when I looked at the device, the snooze has reset itself to 10 minutes.

Regarding issue 2 - I am using the flip sensor, so maybe some fluctuations in the sensor might have caused it to think it had been flipped, but for issue 1 I don't have an explanation. And no, I don't believe in ghosts :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] glamoureus:
Klaxon bug, my guess.

I think it has to do with the GSens and Klaxon both uses GSensor. I had mem leaks with both isntalled (latest Klaxon) then I rolled back to older klaxon (.32) and it seemed to work a little longer but still some problems. then I uninstalled GSens and Klaxon works pure fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oldhouse:
Since I updated to v38 and v39, when the alarm starts, I can only hear the chosen sound once, and then stop. Is there a way to let it sound untill I snooze the alarm?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sonnybravo:
Maybe you should try to convert the wav file to an mp3? I dunno if klaxon supports mp3 files, but if so, it's worth a try. I had the same kind of stuttering problem (but with ringtone) and after I converted the wav to mp3, it worked for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
I have noticed something else regarding Klaxon, it seems that once the alarm goes off the backlight remains constantly on and the device will not go back into standby until the alarm is turned off.

To save battery life it would be much better if the backlight was turned off and the device allowed to go into standby, if the alarm is snoozing.

If for some reason you are not able to let the device go into standby while snoozing, then at least let the backlight turn off to save some power.

By the way great app, but still I need a backup for now until the bugs have been ironed out. Thanks…

@ Koush, It might be a good idea to update the first post with problems that are posted by more than one user. It does not matter if you can replicate it or not, or if you have a solution or not. It will allow other users to instantly see if they have a similar issue.

@ sonnybravo, Thanks, I will give it a go but somehow I don’t this that’s the answer as the wav file plays fine through media player.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Oh man, I'm tired, so I'll make this quick.

New features:

If you have a 480x640+ screen, you will see the new UI. It's pretty. Still have to skin the alarm form, but besides that, it is done.

Possibly fixed bug where Klaxon would stay resident in memory.

The number controls are now gesture based: you can flick them and they will scroll through their range quite rapidly!

You can now preview the alarm using the play button. (Only available in the new UI)

To Do:

Time localization (such as 24 hour mode).

Volume control.

Figure out a way to turn off the backlight, but also not allow the device to go into sleep mode when snoozing.

Fix sound looping issue.

Thanks to expo7 from XDA-Developers for the UI design!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rl2000:
Awesome dude, the new UI just made the app 40 times better!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Due to how I designed Klaxon, this is may be a pretty hard bug to fix, but I am going to look at it.

I try to keep the front page up to date... too busy to read through all these posts regularly though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mt2005:
Dunno, whether it seems to me, but this version acts a lot lot slower. I guess its regarding the new UI.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Which screen in particular?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] figgeo:
Before when i tried the Klaxon alarm clock i got a lot of problems, when i press the clock on home screen i got back to the old alarms, the windows alarm. is this solved in the new version? That you can press the clock on the start screen and set up the alarm there?

Then i also want the 24 h clock :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Klaxon does not change what the HTC Home screen launches: to do that would require editing the manila.exe file, which fairly risky and can cause your phone to crash pretty bad. You can do that yourself, if you choose, by using the Manila editor also found on this forum.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CarpeNoctum:
The new UI looks better for sure, however, a little bit more color and not only grey and black would be better imo.

In any case, thanks a lot for sharing and your hard work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] expo7:
the new UI should not look like a rainbow :p

the klaxon touch-UI is special designed for the diamond ;)

Hope you guys like it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Davey101:
Many thanks for your work on this guys! I hate the standard windows alarm!

Koush, how difficult would it be to create a today plugin for Klaxon? I don't use TF3D so a today plugin would be perfect. Failing that, how about a today screen icon?

It's not something I've attempted before but I'm prepared to give it a go!

thanks again :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mt2005:
well i would say the new alarm set up screen... it even happened - KLAXON got frozen. I had to do soft reset. This never happened in previous versions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mt2005:
Well I have to admit its too dark in my opinion. I have to say the tampisss' UI looked much lighter in this way...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jorlin:
You can easily do that with SSMaPa... change the link for "time click"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] expo7:
The UI is now not yet complete. we work on it.

HELP

I Used To Have This Program & It Used To Work But Now It Doesn't,i Guess Some Other Program Is Conflicting With It,can't Figure Out What It Is,can Anybody Help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jorlin:
The new UI is fantastic and super touch friendly.

One minor thing: I think the swipe control for the time setting is a bit too sensitive. Is it possible that you reduce the spinning speed a bit? In addition can you add some sort of panning? So if you tab and hold and then move your finger, that it slowly changes the numbers instead of starting spinning immediately?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] z3us:
Is lagging sound fixed in this version? And will be inf future option than switches start of the week on monday instead sunday?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] heretic:
I use GSen v1.7 for that with #fdsscreenoff(1) option. So, when I flip the device "face down", it swithches the screen off. Hope this helps some of you.;)

Feature request: Alarm autosnooze (configurable): if a user doesn't manually snooze the alarm, it snoozes automatically after a certain amount of time (configurable).:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hschutte:
I've downloaded the new version but i'm still getting the old version after installing. It looks like the download link on the page still links to an older version.

Can someone else confirm this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CarpeNoctum:
I am definately not asking for a rainbow.. But If you take a look at the VGA calculator skin you will understan what I mean. You don't need more colours to make it diamond-like. You just need better colour management.

I hope you get what I mean. And all this is of course not part of criticism. Quite the contrary. Just some feedback to make it even better. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jorlin:
I vote: YES! :D

We definitely need this one :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] oldhouse:
Same problem here...

Edit:

Solved using another browser to download the file again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CarpeNoctum:
Are you sure that you don't accidentally run the old .cab? Because this version and the old one have the same file name and if you drop them in the same folder you might get confused.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] expo7:
Mhhh the VGA calculator skin looks good, but klaxon had his own style.

we will see it at the next versions. maybe with more color ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CarpeNoctum:
Thanks a lot for taking this into consideration and for all your efforts (and Koush's) as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pizzabomber:
No one?

Is my bad English too hard to understand?

Please help me! With that issue the beautiful Klaxon is unusable for me, because there are always alarms i didn't set up and have to delete...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CarpeNoctum:
Have you tried uninstalling Klaxon and then installing the new version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pizzabomber:
I have just realised that Klaxon 2.0 released. I will try it. But the with the earlier version i hat this issue even after reinstall.

Is this a known bug and is this solved in 2.0?

Today at evening i have time to download and test this. Really hope that is solved.

For understanding:

What is the normal behavior with Home-Screen Integration and without the Integration....concerning the Icon+Time displayed on Home Screen AND concerning the WMAlarm (displayed when i click on the Home-Screen-Clock -> open the WM-Default-Alarm Interface). Is there needed to be a kind of "dummy" Alarm? When i looked at the WMAlarm, it has even sound setting, so didn't look like a dummy.

Please help my to understand what exactly is the right behavior of Klaxon with and without integration enablen, so i could figure out what exactly the wrong behavior is!

I am also interested in this, if the new Version solves the issue this evening!

....btw... the screenshot of the new UI really looks....WOW

Looking forward to the time, my windows mobile device is really usable as an alarm clock. Last year this sounds for me like "pics can fly!" :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
Koush,

I was just thinking, rather than try and turn off the backlight it might be easier to just allow the device to go into sleep mode, thus saving even more power. The only problem I can see with doing this is that the countdown timer might stop counting down.

One possible way to resolve this might be to re-trigger it as another alarm and close the app. The re-trigger point would be the user defined snooze time.

Not having seen your code, but I think you schedule the next alarm after the user stops the current one. If that’s the case then you might be able to re-use that part of the code. If not, then I guess it’s a big change.

Apologies if I am creating more work for you than necessary, please feel free to ignore that suggestion, or only update when you can. If your keeping a list of known bugs, it might be as simple as copying that over.

One more potential bug I noticed is that the light sensor is continually logging to the log file while the alarm is snoozing, surely that is also a waste of resources and adding to battery consumption. I’ll attach my log file for you to look at if you get a chance.

P.S: Keep up the great work.

@ heretic,

Using GSen is a good idea as a temporary fix, but many people including me don’t use GSen as it creates more problems than it solves and conflicts with quite a few apps. But maybe Koush can look at the code and incorporate that into his app.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tabugman:
Love the new GUI! Well done!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
Expo7, maybe you can also draw a new icon for the application itself? The current icon has some white edges around the klaxon and it makes it ugly when put in the programs tab which is black. Of course, that's very-very cosmetic issue :) Only if you have time and desire for perfection :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
Yes, those are my thoughts exactly; I wouldn't schedule a new alarm (since the alarm form is already open, but I'd have to tell the device to wake up at the snooze time.

Remember, that hitting snooze can't close the form, and open a new one at a later time, because the user needs to be able to turn the alarm off while it is snoozed.

It's easy to schedule a wake up time, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of unintended things that are going to happen when the device goes to sleep, such as message pumps stopping, sensors shutting down, etc. And they may need some sort of reinitialization. I'll have to look into it; it's not a hard fix, but a risky one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kultus:
bravo the new UI is awesome but why you removed possibility to control every digit in time setting...so you already heared of my every suggestion :)

so I can report only one issue with diggits and its PERFECT!!! besides new UI is really responsive only digits setting is slower I dont lknow maybe problem with touch screen it takes in almost every second tap...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
It's hard to implement have a flick that controls both digits and a tap gesture that controls one. A flick will get you to the number you want so fast it defeats the need for the individual digit manipulation.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] expo7:
I do my best
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
Hi Koush,

I appreciate you don't have time to read all posts on your thread and even less time to do anything about peoples requests, but if you could please have a look into my problem, i think to someone who knows what he's doing this might be a simple thing to fix, or even if it's not something you could fix maybe you could give me a 'No can Do!!'. I've cut and paste my problem description from another post

Many thanks, this is a great application and you really do deserve big praise for your efforts, i'm not trying to blow your trumpet by the way!!! donation inbound after payday.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I was thinking about adding a couple settings:

Add an option to not allow a user to snooze from a sensor event if you are already snoozing. This would fix what you describe.

Add an option to allow the user to turn the alarm off from a sensor event if it is snoozing. A lot of people want to be able to shake the phone while it is snoozing to turn it off, but I have that disabled for safety: the user can't accidentally turn the alarm off if it's in his pocket and he rolls over.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
@ stevedpl7,

How about doing the following, when you flip your phone over to make it snooze, flip it back again, that way it will be face up and you can easily view the screen without touching it.

It’s just a thought so please feel free to ignore if it doesn’t suit your needs...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] stevedpl7:
Thanks Koush, Both those optional setting would suit me great and the first one would solve my problem perfectly. I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates, hopefully you maybe able to add these to future releases. Thanks again.

@ imranbashir_uk - Strange but true - that's what i've been doing!! It kind of solves the problem but not totally as i'm so rubbish in the mornings i like to be able to reach out with my eyes still 'stuck' together and put the screen right up to my face so i don't have to open my eyes too much - i'm just lazy!!! Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] serpy:
Greate Job... Congratulation

Each time better!!!

In the version ...37 I could change each number in the alarm separately.. it was so cool and very fast!!!. But now again I must change one by one the minutes y hours, it is too slow...

I think this function was better before.

Well, this is my experience with the program.

Regards.

AM/PM vs 24h clock

I would like the possibility to use a 24h clock insted of am/pm mode.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Windza:
Sorry Koush - I don't know what is causing the problem, but I have had to revert to the older Klaxon (fewer bugs it seems)...

Basically I have a hard time creating a new alarm (when I tick it off it just kicks me back to T3D)... somehow I managed to create one but then it would only play the sound file once... I've tried all the different options (integrate, no integration etc.) but no luck. I'm surprised no one else is reporting issues... is it because I'm using a DIAM130 (Australian version with SwiftBL latest ROM)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] LondonTownGuy:
I still have the issue reported previously by a few others, when enabling home screen integration after disabling Klaxon, it sets an alarm to the current time via windows alarms. I have to disable home screen integration to get rid of it.

Ive tried a hard reset and clearing all files. I used SMMapa to link Klaxon to the home screen maybe that was the problem, bit Ive disabled that now and still the same. This occurred since last two releases. Im using Duttys V 1.6.

Regards and thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
It's a gesture based control now: you can flick it with your thumb like it's a wheel, and it will change numbers very fast.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
I have a similar problem, the alarm only plays the soundfile once. Why no cycling ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Blazeitup123:
yeah, i got some of that too. i created alarm and play to test and there was no repeat. so i didn't use it. why do i find that i can never trust an alarm?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I've fixed this bug and am working on more features/bugs at the moment. I'll releasea new version by the end of tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mt2005:
I would not agree. Sometimes it does strange things (changes numbers too fast, on the other hand it does not react - you have to push the screen more), while having individual number being set one by one was rather better and easier to utilize though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
Few more bugs and suggestions:

1. If I am setting a new alarm and I click on Play button before I have chosen a sound file, the program crashes and I have to soft reset.

2. Shake feature seems to not work for me at all.

3. Make the screen with "Off" and "Snooze" button comply with the new look, i.e. aliased black-white-gray color scheme.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CyberGene:
I have just discovered one more bug:

4. Although I have never used Home Screen Integration, with the newest version Klaxon is enabling the first Windows alarm whenever I open Klaxon.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] serpy:
Perfect!!!... Im testing the program...

Awsome job
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pspiwant:
