OK here is the "master wishlist":

(if someone wants to add something so that we keep things organized welcome)

- Tap and hold an existing alarm should edit it. (a few requested this)

- Deleting alarm shouldn't use a system pop-up. It is the only part that is not "skinned". So just pop-up your own window. (me)

- There should be some way to see which alarm sound is already selected, not by playing it but by name. (only I have requested this)

- "Snooze" and "off" (sensor) settings could be separate per alarm (but following a default). (again NLS)

- PLEASE include some timer and countdown modes (a la SPB Time). (me again)

- Does it override system audio settings? It should definitely do that! (me and is very important! I think latest versions do try to do that)

- When you click snooze it should kill the klaxon screen until it rings again (why keep it on?). Many have requested this. Some requested that also the screen switches off, device stand-by (why not? but only if it was already off before the alarm - I think "Answer Keys Disabler" guy knows how to do that, so ask him). BTW one guy asked for the opposite, so maybe just make it an option?

- "Off" should definitely be much smaller than snooze, for the simple reason that you want off to be more difficult to press than snooze! (you need to be wake to click it!) Many people asked for that, so you should probably include it in your DEFAULT skin, at least until your skin engine also supports button positioning.

- Planning to include incrementing volume? Some requested this (me included).

- The alarm should also have a setting to make vibration while ringing! (Me and few others)

- Hope someone finds a way to "steal" the main TF3D tap and start Klaxon instead of WM alarm applet (ask SSMaPa guy how he does this?). I used SSMaPa anyway.

- Skin engine should support button/text positioning (an XML file?). I know it is still "young" but hope for some future version. Until then please make OFF smaller and further away from SNOOZE (about half the forum asked for this :p:D)

- Someone requested that minutes and tenths should be split for faster editing. I tend to agree.

- Same guy mentioned that snooze/expire time buttons should also be vertical for consistency. I tend to disagree with this (looks nice right now), but had to mention it to complete this list.

- Option to disable log file!!! (at least two people request)

- Someone asked for auto-snoozing. I would call it just "repeat if not off". THIS IS VITAL for ANY real alarm program. Indeed if you don't "off" it by hand, it should keep repeating! So probably an extra setting: snooze time, expire time, repeats if not off.

- Ability to add/substract by tap holding, not repeat pressing (does the OS easily allow for this? Or needs some hack around "tap-hold" routing?)

- Some love for non TF3D users (today plugin)

- Really really really find some clean way to integrate with TF3D without messing WM alarms

...guys keep it clean and add what you want (or remove if something indeed works already)

Hi.

I'm found bug.

If on "regional settings" short date format not set on "dd.MM.yy" alarms could not be created by Klaxon.

Thanks for good program.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rs.saunders:
- I miss the snooze countdown that was on previous versions. for me this would mean leaving the screen on but dimmed

- someone else mentioned turning the alarm off by solving a puzzle or following a pattern with your finger

- I like the idea of having an analoge clock to set the alarm time like you do on the windows alarms. I find them more intuitive and easier to set than flicking numbers on a digital clock

Thanks!

sent you a donation for your efforts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emre_aachen:
Dear Koush,

actually this light-off thing is awesome!! I can turn off my alarm just only switching my light on! I love it... it also guarantees to wake me up ;)

but i was thinking, the loop ends only if the lumen value is higher than the previous value. it is not how it works? and can you please also the threshhold adjustment for the light sensor go off mechanism?? Because if the room has already little bit lightened with sunlight, switching on my reading lamp will not help Klaxon to understand that the user has already "enlightened" the room... Thanks... You deserve all donations...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/08/another-klaxon-release.html

As promised, I implemented more bug fixes and features for this release.

The light sensor will only turn off your alarm if the phone is face up. This fixes the issue where the alarm gets shut off if the phones if flipped face down to snooze.

If the phone is snoozing, a sensor can not be used to turn the alarm off. The off button must be manually pressed. This is a precaution to ensure the phone doesn't get erroneously turned off.

The shake off function is implemented differently now: if at any point, the phone is subject to 20 G's of force, it will turn off. Previously, it was using an orientation count. The G measurement method is much more reliable.

As a silent confirmation, the phone will vibrate once if you put it into Snooze mode. It will Vibrate twice if you turned it off.

All the sensor actions are configurable: you can now manually configure what you want the alarm to do when you shake it, flip it, or turn on the light.

Implemented some of the UI clean up changes. This includes bigger Vista style check boxes and radio buttons.

Implemented an About box which gives you information about your Klaxon version and the author.

Fixed a bug where the registry entries were not being deleted properly when an alarm was deleted.

Fixed a bug where the device would go to sleep after a Snooze and not wake up to alarm the user.

Fixed a bug where the Delay setting was not being saved after editing it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Colin_ger:
My feedback: snooze-alarm is working now. I'm quite happy with klaxon.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is shaking to turn the alarm off. If I shake a little bit from left to right the alarm is snoozed. If I keep on shaking the vibration feedback is going nuts and keeps on vibrating all the time until is switch the alarm off.

Anyway it's a great programm. thank you for a light weight alarm with mp3 function. I waited for this a long time.

Best regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brevi:
It would be really nice, to have a countdown timer feature in the app.

touch design

Hi, I think it is really cool, yet still not enough "touchy :-)"

I've tried to create image to show my opinion and vision.

Would be great to have it similar to this :-)

Setting time would be pretty stright (same idea as in thumbcal).

Setting snoze, expire and delay would be easy with just clicking plus or minus half of the area.

tampiss
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brevi:
Uh love that UI please release asap! ;-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kultus:
amazing soft Im using for now because of some alarm problems with ROM... I like the UI posted above ...Im using flip action instead of shakeing which isnt so reliable for me because there is no option to set the sensibility but its not your problem

so THX and keep awesome work!!!

edit: one problem here...when I set alarm sound it starts to play ....for someone it could be good to know what he choose but at work its quite disturbing especially with lag so an option to disable this funkcion will be great...also no everybody starts week with sunday (at least some european countries) so option to set first day of week would be nice...THX Ill keep to testing it

edit2: seconds are useless for me in the matter of seting alarm time if its for some reason pls provide option to disable it....I know I know Im like poison when testing something :)

edit3: another request when I flip phone alarm off and it would be great to automaticaly turn off aplication to see today screen or sleep phone at least as option ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Colin_ger:
The UI looks awesome. Let's see what Koush has in mind
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] katerini:
The settings dont work for me. I want to snooze wenn i shake the phone and turn off wenn flip it. But it dosent work his way.

It does not work the audio delay also.

Also you must do something with the sound. It goes to max and dont turns back. I dont want the max sound. Can you do something with that;
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
This is BRILLIANT !!!

Koush, please do this UI !!!

In order to see exactly how this clock is set, you can try this calander software (from which it was taken):

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] qalsaleh:
Thanks Koush for this very nice alarm.

The Touch UI in this post realy looks awesome.

I have tried your alarm and have few notes:

1-I noticed that for each new alarm I have to chose a sound file. It would be more convenient to put this option in the Settings page for those who would like to keep the same sound file.

2- Also, I have noticed that scrolling down in the Alarm page is so slow.

3- It would be nice to enable Editing of a previous alarm by clicking on it rather than doing that from the menu.

Great work !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] emre_aachen:
Koush You did a wonder... Thanks...

The feedback i can give as a "beta-user" is just same as qalsalehs'... Then i think it would be perfect!!

(also the threshhold issue for the lightsensor please... it does not recognize the light in every time)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Colin_ger:
I noticed the backlight stays on while snoozing. you could turn the backlight off. This saves energy and is less disturbing while hesitating to get up :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Takeshi_Kintaro:
Koush,

I have a prob with the alarm:

1) I set up the alarm for a specific time.

2) I turn off all the G-Sen (Flip, Shake) and Light Sensor options to 'Nothing'

3) I put the device to sleep mode

4) When the alarm time comes the backlight turns on.

5) Then the device vibrates twice with Klaxon screen showing itself for a second and the alarm then turnes off.

Any ideas why?

Regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
I like that UI! I'll try and make it look as close to that as possible.

I noticed the slow scrolling as well... If I implement the UI that tampiss drew up, the scroll bars won't even show up.

I'll make the light and shake thresholds configurable too in the next release.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
What did you set your expire time to?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
You Rock, that'll be awesome! It is shaping up so so well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Noam23:
The best part of owning a HTC device is this community. THANKS KOUSH !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gadmanz:
nice app I'll give it a try

THANKS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
You can still leave the screen on so you can see the countdown; it's in the settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peron:
Maybe this feature is already there and I cannot see it but I would like to be able to switch off an alarm if I wake up earlier.

Say the alarm is at 8am, I wake up at 7.45 and by the time the alarm goes off I'm under the shower with no chance to turn it off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Seems my Klaxon got confused today with daylight savings.

For weekends I have 9:55 alarm (no I don't wake then, it is just a backup).

While using the device this morning (was before 9:55 WINTER time - my device was automatically in winter time since 3 in the morning), I noticed that I had strange periodic lags... (PLUS a low battery issue see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2824408#post2824408 ...which is most possibly related).

Before soft reset I thought of checking a CPU load program. Surely enough Klaxon every few seconds (about 10), ate all or almost all my CPU's cycles!

After soft reset everything went to normal.

BTW, Klaxon never rang.

I dunno if Koush should look at this (since he knows his code), or if this a good opportunity for someone to jump in the code and clean it up...

Without offending Koush (which from his various attempts looks like a capable programmer), Klaxon has too many issues messing with the rest of the device and it is "just an alarm program" after all, so it shouldn't.

Unless someone really "jumps on board" soon, I think I'll return to my (paid after all) commercial solution (no sensor events but everything else and way much more).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Devileyezz:
Hi,

I don't know if it's just me, or just my phone, or what exactly. I've mentioned this before as well, and the new versions still have that.

I don't know if it can be classified as a

bug

because this happens everytime and so many versions later, still happens. After setting an alarm, for say, 6.30AM. A 'reminder' goes off at 6.32AM. This happens to every alarm about 2 minutes after. So, at 6.30AM, I put it on snooze and start going back into my sleep when 2 mins later, the reminder goes off! This reminder is ala calendar reminding.

This happens for every alarm mind you, so it's not just 6.30 that's a bad time, heh.

Also, a

feature request

, a few of my older phones had 'QuickAlarms', these are basically pre-set alarms like "Ring in 10 minutes", " "Ring in 15 minutes", "Ring in 30 minutes", etc. These were really helpful for power naps, reminders, etc. One phone even had a customizable QuickAlarm, where you tell how many minutes (or hours) you want the alarm to go off in.

Next thing, I know this is a very human friendly app, but some type of

documentation

for what the buttons/settings do would be very helpful for newbs. I've installed Klaxxon for a couple friends of mine and they like it - however, I set it up for them. So everytime they need to change anything they're not able to understand what the settings could be except for the "Integrate with the HomeScreen" part, heh.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ler329:
What commercial solution do you refer to?? I too like Klaxxon but am interested to see what others are using for alarms that are issue-free!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
SPB Time is one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Koush:
That's a byproduct of the auto removal of the Windows Alarm Notification. That's why I removed it from a previous version, because it caused issues for me.

I would highly recommend not using Home Screen Integration and disabling Alarm Removal. If you don't want it to mess with the rest of the system, then don't let it...

This daylight savings bug is a long standing Windows Mobile bug, and I think I figured out a way to address it. I'll be releasing that in a fix soon.

I highly doubt Klaxon is the cause of any low battery issue. It is not running unless the alarm is about to go off. It is a scheduled process, not an always on service.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Devileyezz:
I'm thinking of something similar. Most of the time my bug (as posted above) is never even acknowledged. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong, or what's happening exactly but no one replies to my posts and it gets buried in other posts.

I'm looking at other alarms too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
Thanks, I'll wait for the fix.

As for not using the integration, well... it is a bout 60% of why I am using Klaxon (other solutions don't do it and don't care too much for the gsensor part of Klaxon, "only" the rest 40%). If I remove integration, I kill the strongest reason I use this software. If I didn't have TF3D and had a normal today, I might not even consider Klaxon.

I don't want to discredit your effort, it's just a matter of personal preference.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rs.saunders:
Oh yeah hehe my mistake. I didn't notice it because, as is the nature of an alarm, you only tend to look at it when your half asleep :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] GDT:
Klaxon doesn't work anymore for me since 2.0.0.24 version.

2.0.0.23 worked well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bozotheclown:
same here. It doesn't wake up my phone anymore so the alarm doesn't go off. When I wake up my phone myself, klaxon strarts the alarm.

The alarm was set for 8am and I woke up my phone at 9:15 ;) Not very usefull:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sim.on:
i like klaxon + 2 Ideas

1. can you make the music ( mp3-wakeup ) slowly fade-in ? maybe over a certain period of time ... ( a setting one could have in the options , fade in within X-seconds ... so the user can say e.g. 30 seconds ... and it will start silent , and after 30 seconds reach the full-volume )

i would appreciate this .. as i hate beeing caught out of my dreams , lol

2. maybe another idea ... including a playlist or defining a personal TOP10-wakeup-hit-list would be cool as well . so one could be waked up by a random-wake-up-song ... so it will not be everyday the same song.

--------

btw. Klaxon is a really good idea - i love being waked up with music ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ichbindaschaos:
ya this increasing volume would be a great idea :) since now this was the only missing thing compared to the mort player wakeup function.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] beber49:
Hi all,

Does Klaxon will wake up me if I power off the phone ?

G-Alarm can't... :(

Thanks a lot !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] squaletto:
When the phone is power OFF no software will run, therfore no allarm clock software will ever be able to start your phone and sound the allarm clock.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] amir77a:
havn't been here for a short while.

The app seems to work very good now, regarding the DST problem.

I have a request and a wonder:

Wonder:

The fix you offered for the timezone problem, seems to be the North American DST correction cab. In Israel - Microsoft published a unique local correction for the DST problem. Will Klaxon still be accurate, in the nxt summer...?

Request:

Can you add a today addon, which will show the next alarm, for those who doesn't use TF3D?

Thanks whatsoever for your beautiful app.

Amir.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] joshj84:
how do you change the alarm sound?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] amir77a:
when configuring a certain alarm, tap the lower left button, to select any supported sound file.

BUG. Alarm Disabled but windows alarm reminder sound

Hi

if somebody have time to look into this bug:

Yesterday I disabled the alarm before go to bed because I wanted to sleep until late. but at 10.30 the windows alarm reminder have sound anyway :(

attached you find the log
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
too much instability - doesn't work at all for me now (i.e. it's primary task: alarming) - opening the application takes too much time also

seems way too much bugs live in there... I'll have to put this on ice unless someone decides to really update and clean-up this POTENTIALY nice program
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Rattor:
I experienced a bug this morning (Nov 3rd). I have had my alarms set for a couple weeks now, but last night was the first time my alarm went off since daylight savings time (I have no alarms set for the weekend, just for work on weekdays). On Saturday, the time went back at 3am to 2am. This morning, I had my alarm set for 5:45am, but it didn't go off until 6:45am, even though the phone had updated the system time like it should. It seems that Klaxon doesn't take DST into account. It went off at pre-DST 5:45am, which is now 6:45am, if that makes sense.

Is Klaxon not using the system time to sound it's alarm? Does it have it's own internal timer? Anyways, there's my bug report.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
i just switched from touch diamond to touch pro. on my diamond klaxon would show infront of s2u2 and function with snooze and off but now on the touch pro it doesnt get infront of s2u2 and i have to unlock it then snooze or turn off. any way to fix this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] NLS:
I hope I am wrong, but I see a slow death approaching the project.

Pity.

Meanwhile I plan to repatch my Manila and remove it from clock "button" as I mistakenly click it, which wouldn't be so serious if it loaded faster than almost 10" (!!!) and was actually... erm... working.

Too many issues unfortunately, for what was ultimately a "simple" process. Alarm.

Hope it goes better in the future.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
